Hello everyone, I'm really excited to be here to give you my presentation. My name is Ina Palova and I work as a superintendent for Paltium and PEPA. The reason why the whole library here is Paltium is Paltium. So please tell me how many of you already did have the chance to get generalized with this project? Okay, great. And how many of you already have the presentation of that project? Cool. So in this session, the guys would have the chance to learn about this project. And we want to already know something about Paltium. I would keep your interest on that. So with the features that we recently implemented and some other needle stuff. So the plan is I will apply for slides. I will give you the basic concepts of Paltium. I will show you some new features, some implementations, some deals. And in the end, I will take part of questions. So let's start. What is Palt? Palt is a platform for managing a business of course. Imagine that on one hand you have a lot of content types like RTN packages, ISOs, Dr. Images, Python packages, and many more. And on the other hand, you have a lot of new editors. In case you want to manage these two concepts by one term, Palt probably is the right term to be used in this case. Palt supports many content types. It has such a flexible design that we can easily implement a new content type. We started with the RTN family when we added support for Dr. Images and others. How to add your own content type? I will show you later on how to make slides. I will talk about the new feature called free free cache. We are completely open source. You can find all our content with Palt. You can browse the source code. You can look at the full request. You can add a signature or a full request. Obviously, it can be accepted to business. And Palt is a Python publication. And by that, you don't necessarily need to go and see graphical interface. It's like you have a CLI from a dynamic interface based on the SPI. So, let's see what Palt is used and where you can see. Palt is used mainly by the countries in New York. What does it have to do with New York? It tries to deliver all the content via CDM. CDM is called the delivery network. And the current store of the CDM is Palt. Palt is also a mapping cloud. How many of you learn about Amazon Web Services? Cool. If you have ever associated an experience source, and please be amazed that these were pulled from Ruin, which is a category for structures, and the kind of delivery is also Palt. You can also Palt is a challenge in that free project for Palt. So, let's see. They decided to use Palt as a method for content processing. And obviously Palt is used by a lot of commutes. So, let's say you already have installed brand new storage with Palt. Where do you start from? Usually you start from repository creation. When you create repository, you need to plan Palt, what kind of content you're going to put inside so Palt can fetch right back to storage. And there are two ways how you can get the content with Palt. First way is you can synchronize it from a remote source, such sources like CDM, Centres, so you can mirror them without having it. You can do this too lonely or on a schedule. Another way how you can get the content with Palt is that you can create very physically and upload your own content with Palt. So, once the content is inside, you can start and move it around. So, for example, you can make a copy of this content. And the main interesting fact is that the copies are rich. There is only one reference in the database and just a bunch of simulators that point to the Palt system of the actual verification of the content here. So, you can also filter out the content based on the criteria searched during the copying. So, there are a lot of things that you can do so you can mix and move around the content in Palt. Once you have the repository ready, so you're ready to make it available to the customers or your clients, you want to publish it. Publish will make the content available to the others. You can publish the repository and host it as a basic repository, so it will be served by a Palt system. For example, when you publish an argument repository, it becomes as any other regular YAM repository, so YAM agents can get the packages. Or, you can export into an RSO, or this content. There is a ranking feature that we implemented a couple of days ago on customers. You can publish the content to the remote host. So, the content can be available for the most of the remote host. It is really official when you want to make the content highly available or available in multiple geographical locations at the same time. Is that different from what we call inter-satellite sync and satellite sync? You call what? Inter-satellite sync. You know how you can have one satellite server, have a second one. This one goes to the CDN, this one only goes to this one. Is that a Palt function or is that different? That's a thing different, because this is like new feature. Okay. Yeah.  You can publish all the content as you say to the repository or only part of it, the one just with you. The actual file transfer is made via SSH and RSO. There is a special configuration where you can provide the host, the method of identification, like your password or the key. You can also provide the directory where the content can be available in remote host. And this feature is available for the religious, RPMs and ISAs so far. So, as I said, Palt is not a multi-tolerant content so in case you still didn't find the content which is not managed by Palt yet, you can implement it by plugin. Oh, yeah. As I mentioned, there is the CLI, command life interface, we call it Palt plugin. We're going to take a look. So, you say Palt, Palt plugin. You specify the type of the repository API, you create it, you provide the repository, the feed URL for which you will fetch the remote content and at this point the repository is created. Then you want to synchronize it. You say, so, and it runs. What is going on during synchronization itself? Basically, first we fetch the metadata. Yes, thank you. Okay, we fetch the metadata. We analyze it and then we start all the metadata into that place. We figure out what kind of content we're going to synchronize so we found out we have some RPMs, delta RPMs, some erratas should be, yeah, erratas. So, then we import the content into the repository and at this point synchronization is done. The content isn't Palt. Let's look at what kind of steps are performed during the publish. During the publish, we create the metadata and we republish all the content type, which is new to you, a repository and we also create these signals that point to the actual storage location. So, as I mentioned, you can post the repository in the base repository to facilitate the browsing of this repository. We decided to implement the repository functionality. Republish tool is a very popular tool that generates static customer pages for the republished data. This is how it looks like the regular web-based repository. You can see the list of the content and this is how it looks with the API functionality enabled. So, as you can see, it's much more comfortable to do browse and the pages are done by the template, which are provided by the repository itself and the same templates can be customized and adjusted by your needs. Do you have some questions at this point? Okay. So, now let's move to the post-cache feature. In Palt, we have such a concept of the law policy and by the law policy, you talk about how you want the content available. So, there is an immediate download which shows basically four colors, the content in the queue. So, immediately download the package package on Palt system. And there is a deferred download, which allows Palt to send the content without actually downloading the packages on the content itself. Now, there are two types of them. There is on-demand policy and background policy. What does the on-demand download? On-demand download skips the actual download of the files if the download is just the metadata it passes and stores all the records of the database. Meanwhile, the content, which is the beats a lot of the files system but you still can't make them available to the client. So, to make it easier, the content will not be downloaded until it will be specifically requested by the client. So, this is being official because you can save a lot of storage, right? The ground download is starting here. So, if you do that, the first time a system registers to the Palt positive and asks for an RBM, is that young transaction, is it going to time out and fail if I'm on a slow link? In public websites, I'm going to give you the explanation how it works.   So, background policy. Background policy is always the same, honestly. On demand, but in addition to all the things which are performed by on demand policy, it creates a test with the background that, like it's my favorite, there are always the beats on files system. Meanwhile, if dust is running, the content is still available to the clients to be used by Palt itself. How does it work? So, the other client, for example, the client requests some package he talks to Palt. The request goes to Palt and the request is handled by Apache. What Apache does? Apache holds the tool which actually leads to both the actual location of the package. If the tool points to the existing location, that means the package is currently in the file system, and the content is sent right away. Yeah. If the single points to the existing location, there is a directory there and the request is forwarded to Squid. Squid? Well, that's Squid. Squid catches the content. So, we look into the cache and see if there is some content present, we still don't like the way the content is back to the client. If there is nothing in the cache, we inform this request to the Palt streamer. What Palt streamer is? Palt streamer is a microservice which is responsible for the actual amount of the content from the Palt streamer app. So, Palt streamer goes to the Palt streamer app, allows the bits, and streams it back to the client. Meanwhile, we have the content cached and there is a task in Palt that runs tragically, but it goes into the cache and it states on the Palt system all the content which runs on all of the cache. So, the benefits for this. The next time we do same things will be requested by the client. We will avoid to go through all this stuff and we will serve it directly. So, the benefit of this we call it lazy synchronization is that you download the content as requested. So, if you have it and also around 60 to 30,000 pages and if you want to spare some storage, you can enable this on demand policy. Any questions about the on demand stuff? No, cool, you? I'm not sure, should I keep it until the end or which one would be more comfortable? It's a good question. Is this an interesting question? This question is actually a little bit slight. My question is about signing packages. Well, you are, first and foremost, they get signed, they are studying MDR and they are putting this with, and then you get signed, it doesn't change the name, but it actually changes the content. How does the call deal with that? We got a similar call from the USBS and we would like to know if this question is great or not. I'm talking about the center of the package. Yeah, I mean, you get signed, so it changes the content, but it doesn't change the name. How does the speed handle that? Is it handled by speed or you just try to avoid that? I don't think that it's handled by speed, but speed does, it just changes the content. But it changes the content without changing the name. So, you're requesting a package, but it already has changed the content. The speed doesn't know about that. Oh. It will serve you the old college figures world. Yes. Well, you have a configuration where you can set a timeout. So, if you put some timeout or the cash will just cash it out for some. That is the question. I understand your point. You can set it to two hours, which means we basically use this. Or between that timeout, we are setting this to a week. You will have a week. Well, so, I can tell you how we synchronized the, let's say, RPM early because we look at the option at the data. Right? Oh, I see. So, you forcibly replace the package on the side. Well, if you go to synchronization, right? You synchronize across. Then, here, for example, if you go to synchronization the second time, what we do is, we first look at the option at the data. We see if the revision number changed. That means if something changed, we synchronize it. The revision is in NBR? The revision number of the metadata. Oh. Okay. So, if it changed, we didn't see it. If it didn't change, we would not have changed. So, excuse me. That's my question. Cool. So, the extreme metadata will change. If you have any concerns about the problem, the metadata will change. The name of the package doesn't change. But what you're saying is, in this case, if you accidentally promote something before, it's been signed. But then, go back and re-sign it, since the upstream metadata is going to get updated, the version number of the metadata is going to change. Yeah. And it's going to. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Yes? You said there's a mechanism of getting the content from the screen to the actual file system. Yes. Because there is a time-out on the screen, which you can set when this type of content comes all the way. So, the Apache site is going to be faster? Oh. It's going to be really time-out. It's going to turn to chaos. Okay. The streamer, which is responsible for the actual belong to the content, well, it seems that it leads to the squeeze. There is a collection of the database. So, this streamer goes to this collection and makes a record there. It says, okay, I'm putting this record of this package that it was downloaded and put on the screen. So, there is a political task, which is triggered. What task is doing? Task is going to the this collection and it has the list of all the content that was downloaded and cashed. So, it goes to... At least it's on the streamer side. The list is on the database. There is a collection of the database. It's another important question. If you have some doubts, we can further the question. We can discuss... It's just like a personal experience on how to determine where it's going to be done. If it helps me, we can discuss it a bit later. Otherwise, maybe I won't take this time to talk about other stuff. So, these are the great content to add to the management. So, we have the art fair family, the ISO, some of the darker images. We also have the fancy illustrations. We also do support for GVM and SLAS packages. So, with all this information, if you have great knowledge about content, if you are really interested in content, you can know what are the use cases for popular content like the regular use cases, test death production, actually death test production.  So, you create a purposeful development plan. Once a training, you promote by copying into the testing plan.  So, it gets available to the customers, right? Is there a useful for a testing plan, a true content search and a real contribution? Another use case is that you can mirror your Python package index. You can synchronize part of all of the packages from the pipeline. We do manage the source distributions, and we recently add support for Wins, which is pretty cool because Wins is a distributed format which is much faster than custom. So, it's faster. You can add your custom packages by uploading them into the repository. And one of being also think about how it can retain all versions. Imagine this situation when you've been I don't know, doing some framework which requires a specific type of Python package, right? If you're here for a work, you go to Python, and, for example, you can find search because how it works with Python? When there is a new version, the old one, it works so you can apply the full work. If you want to take control of this, you can you can store as many other sources of Python packages as you need to work. Another use case is you can order PuppetFords. You can do Python packages with PuppetFords. You can add your own custom PuppetFords and you can also store different versions of them into the repository. How much time I have left? Cool. So, another use place is that you can cost and serve better content to other clients. If you listen to Docker result format, we fully support Docker v2. That means that you can fetch from Docker Hub Docker console and control your own Docker repositories. We're going to make them visible by Docker clients. So, basically, if you want your clients to the Docker pool, you need to publish those repositories. So, Crane use them and serve them to the Docker clients. What Crane is? Crane is a small Python application which provides enough of Docker register like API to provide Docker pool for clients. How it works. So, you have the Docker registry. You have Pult. You synchronize Docker content to the Pult. At this point, Pult calls the Docker content. There is the Docker client who says, Docker pool. So, what Crane does? Crane sends the Docker content through the territory directs which are going to the location where the actual content is stored. So, why do we need to publish? Why do we need to publish? Because Crane knows all the data from these files which are usually created during the publish of the application. So, I think I answered everything. What about you? Any questions? No. Cool. So, Pult is terribly inexplicable. It's a flexible design that you can add the support near the old digital content type. The main core feature of Pult like synchronization and publish were implemented in generic Crane. So, the plugins can be send by plugins which are responsible for the fact that you can inter-pult and out-pult, right? So, when the plugins install Pult automatically discovers it. Pult is also scalable because there are different components of Pult depending on the purpose of the usage, right? So, for example, if you have a lot of content type, different repositories, you will have a lot of metadata. We store just the metadata in the database. This time, it will be much better if you will have to duplicate cost for the database itself. Does it make sense? Cool. Or, for example, if you are pretty sure that one is to be server, you won't be able to handle all the requests, it's better to have a couple of them. So, finally, think about plugins. When you want to define a new content type, you need to say what makes it unique. So, for example, what makes an RK unique? Oop. MBR. So, you say, an RK unique at this point we define the content type, then we have a new content. This guy is responsible for interrogating the server. So, going there, figure out what tools to grab how tools to grab the current content. So, basically, it is responsible to get the content into the content. Then there is the distributor. Distributor distributes the content. And it does the opposite of the new content. So, as I said, there is, for example, RK and a distributor. Distributor from the RK and a distributor makes a regular YAM-byster. Now, let's talk about the integration. Papa's design is integrated with the build sequence, with the continuous integration, the basic workflow using the general RCPI. If you want a response, for example, to a successful publish, you can have an event to get published in a specific exchange. So, you can subscribe to this specific exchange. There is so much going on and then some pointless is needed. You can say, I want to pick a job, a daily job or something. Right? We also do provide the HTTP callbacks. So, when there is, I don't know, a successful synchronization, there is a notification about it. This is the way the last way how to understand what how to do and the last way if you need to react with some actions. We also do provide consumer techniques. Another interesting feature is made by Cyclyte. About can can help you to track what is installed on each machine and network structure and what the date does each machine need which can recently be available. So, we have a lot of synchronized functionality going on. So, we have distributed a synchronized architecture where our REST API and we have all these long-time jobs like Cyclyte publish. We try to separate processes. We call them worker processes. So, what worker to do they look at the end of the queue with some job. They take the job from the queue for example, during the full period. So, from the scene they will be given to the queue and direct another job and another another. So, we use summary for this project which is being made by Cyclyte project which is responsible for I think you are a sexual artist. And I would like to mention our future plans for you to know what to expect from us or when you can provide your group of requests. So, we started the planning for period of organizing the activities that we are moving from moving to deeper progress or people affected about that. Yeah, this is interesting because we are probably one of the most relational project that uses a lot of relational to expect more relational that the place. So, we decided to make some changes and go to the proper relational documents, Postgres. We decided to use Postgres as a DB model and decided to use general and life as possible like generous framework general modifications so as much as possible. So, my presentation is coming to an end. I give you the basic concepts of what part is where you can use. So, probably you will have some ideas where you can apply it. And I want to mention that we have very extensive documentation where you can find a lot of answers or questions and if you still will be in trouble we will be really happy to help you on two more channels HALF and HALF-DEV. So, welcome to our channel and HALF was officially accepted into Dora so you can resume with the order of storage. And another thing to mention is that HALF is distributed not just in RPM packaging but also distributed as a document so if you want to go inside in a couple of seconds you can use documents as they say so, get excited and make your first. So, I have a couple of questions. Yes. Is there let's say hypothetically you accidentally delete some link is there a tool to make you go through and regenerate those symbolic links how do I do that? We are thinking about publish. It creates about a million symbolic links as it seems like and if you accidentally deleted the wrong the wrong one is there a way to force it to regenerate those? Yes. So, every publish with every functional publish because basically we often do such a concept of operational and unoperational publish so let's say with every operational publish we regenerate and regenerate and we create the same like with non-operational publish the point is that it does nothing so if there was no content and if there was or if there was nothing to do with configurations there is no point to with all these things so this is the concept of operational and unoperational publish. I agree. It's about local conditions. I've seen there is a nice sync operation so the company wouldn't involve the wrong type of application. Isn't it possible to make it to a way, I mean for Pandora it would be better which also say they're involved for any other company you think involved and they would like to make the public not just with the local containers not just in their box but also in the public docker IO so anytime they create their packages and they don't only use them great can it also sync with the docker IO isn't it possible I've seen there are HVP-Boldex doesn't have that functionality what's the question besides so you want to publish the docker? Yeah, we would like to have our architecture to be the only source of truth but we also would like to make the sync with other docker registry they should not be used as a syncing like that, we just want one way to sync Very nice for the docker registry what Pandora does are both docker registry and that is decoded from docker registry and place them on and then we want the other way we want both ways we want one docker registry where we use to build packages then we put them into publish and then we want the docker situation we want polish to push back to the docker IO so people would just pull the docker I don't think we have the docker we just have the docker it probably doesn't do that but we will we will make the docker be used for the docker we will use it to tell something else that something came then something else would operate after that but if you wanted to add it would help to push to somewhere else that wouldn't be that hard oh ok maybe we will set up an object consumer which will be listening to that but we would like to avoid it so I guess since it's not possible we have to construct the docker when publish once the docker image is somehow put to the under the control of docker some restrictions for the docker image because it doesn't know what's installed in the docker image oh yeah so what's first in the docker image the blows do manifests from clouds so how close about them but does not go below that like below the layers yes let's measure the docker docker image which was created from round 7 and it has the list of packages installed it does not know about the title itself it can just put it there like in data so all of the layers it's still a very shallow task but yeah I also know a question about the feature plans yes that posterior migration what's the reason for that is it components? is it new features? the reason for that is that as I mentioned this time becomes much more difficult to manage a lot of privation of data with no relation of database we've been using a couple of MongoDB instructions like cheating a bit now we have to show we have some kind of tasks to the SQL so we can say I think we were using amount of tasks running so that migration process might bring a couple of scripts we're reducing but that's not the reason so what's the reason the question is what's the reasoning to move to progress that's basically the progress we've been playing correct for some time about that migration from MongoDB progress and all of the people were the other action I think that's the main driver is the fact that it's an RDBMS instead of any other value there the problem with MongoDB is not working for a while you're doing a long operation and you're doing this it's a big problem and just from a commercial standpoint having it as close friends instead of Mongo means that as we move into satellite now we've got one database instead of Mongo over here and Postgres over here and we're kind of bridging them together that makes it nicer so I have I have a question do you talk about how how we can save all the beginners is that the same for the RDBMS how long yes there is an option called Retail on Versions so by default it's set to zero so basically it retails the oldest point but if you send to Turf you complete Turf in Versions depending on the site itself how do you do that? how do you do this? do you use a little format that you can follow? can I give you a question? which classes do we run or do we use a new format? you mean the new format ok so let's say you want to implement revisions for example polysemonius for example polysemonius polysemonius oh ok polysemonius obviously the changes a lot but the applications for example there are two applications interacting and the layer behavior has not changed but somehow somebody tried a new scenario and now we have to update the solutions for this so ok could really somehow distribute polysemonius polysemonius for basically polysemonius is a bunch of polysemonius and there is some trend for each product we don't bring it on policy and the products have different life cycles as well and the old way was with each change of policy which is required by some product we will ship a policy holding package but it's not necessary we can just ship the one policy in the room which was required by the so can we use somehow we will use plugins and we will define what play is this and then we will try the approach to distribution distribution we have the documentation how to do that but with the digital plugins we are going to do some try to look at changes so if the chance we will but answering your question if you want to add some support for new content you guys will be surprised to see this any other questions do you have some time for me I think I'm sad you are asking about this satellite that's not I think this satellite seems to be changing it used to be called simple and now what it really does is the secondary one just says that the other one has the f3 yes cool so if no more questions thank you for your time


You ever read old scouting reports? All the time. Not only do I read them, I remember them from 7, 8, 10 years ago, so... What's the one that pisses you off the most? Uh, he's too short, doesn't throw hard enough. Uh, I mean, there's a list of them, so... Shame on them. Nesta Cortez, Jose Trevino, with the scoreless inning for the American League.


Okay, I'll come back We just See if I can Share the notes so it gets easier for us to read the verses. We look at a couple of verses Going forward as well Hope this will help us even can see this So Yeah, let's go into Page 47 Let's go into how do we receive Christ's mediation of the New Covenant, right now? How do we receive? We looked at you know, how do we receive blessings? How do we receive everything that of the Abrahamic Covenant and The Messiah Covenant and we saw all of that. Now, how do we receive? Christ's mediation meaning what Christ is doing for us now in the New Covenant as a mediator How do we receive it to our lives? And how how is that going to impact our lives? Is it going to Be any different as believers? Is it enough for us to just accept the Lord as our personal savior and You know, just live that holy life live pleasing to God. Oh As Christ as our mediator in heaven How is it going to affect our lives? So we look at a few Examples here of how Jesus ministered under the previous covenant and How it impacted people's lives and how right now as a mediator in heaven how it's going to impact our lives as well Let's read Matthew chapter 8 and verse 16. Yes, any one of us go ahead Matthew 8 and verse 16 Matthew 8 was 16 to 17 when evening had come they brought to him many who were demon possessed And he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick that it might be fulfilled Which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying he himself took our informities and bore our sicknesses Evan, thank you Rosalind. So People came to the Lord Jesus in faith And those who came to him in faith he ministered to them. He healed them. He delivered them Based on what he would do in the future On the cross right What did the Lord Jesus say in his ministry? He knew right He knew about the suffering. So every time even the time when he chose the disciples, he said I'm not going to be long with you The only thing is well, he didn't give a time frame, but he knew you know That his end is going to be very dramatic it's going to cause a lot of Trouble and uproar. He knew That he was going to come and he came to die on the cross But he knew it. So the Lord Jesus he ministered to people Based on the cross based on what he was going to do ahead in the future. I remember when Lazarus was dead What did Jesus say that words so powerful Jesus said I am the resurrection and I am the life But he was just a regular man just walking around. I'm sure the people around would have wondered you are the resurrection. You are the life Maybe the disciples were thought okay. He's just saying that you know when we believe in him we will resurrect Now we will have Life and him So we don't know what they all thought but he he declared he knew he said I'm the resurrection. I'm the life. So I have the authority to bring this person Lazarus out of the tomb How did he do all that because he his mind he knew He based that whole work the healings the miracles on what he was going to do on the cross And the wonderful part is today the cross is completed the work is completed And christ mediates for us Based on the finished work of the cross right So when we are standing Uh, maybe the enemy is going to come and say, you know, I'm just putting this out like a you know, like an allegory, right? The enemy is going to come and say, okay See this person paul. He's done this this this this Right, these are the wrong things he's done Uh, and uh, this needs punishment Right, and so this is just a like I'm just painting a picture for you, right? And at that moment Lord Jesus says yes, this needs punishment because this is sin and this is not right before God But immediately as the enemy is trying to pass a judgment or try to bring destruction upon us Jesus says but wait hold on I am the going to be a mediator for him And How am I going to be the mediator through the through the work of the cross? And so in the cross I have defeated you I've defeated the uh the devil So he is standing Uh as a mediator Based on the cross so that we don't have to live in condemnation We don't have to live in Sickness or diseases in in bondage of the enemy Very important you and I must Uh, you know receive this this whole understanding this whole belief we must receive it in faith Right, uh, let's look at Luke 13 Uh 10 to 17. Let me just just go down So I think my Screen is stuck Can anyone of us read that Luke 13 10 to 17? Let's try him Luke 13 10 to 17 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath and behold there was a woman Who had a spirit of infirmity 18 years And was bent over and could in no way raise herself up But when Jesus saw her He called her to him and said to her Woman you are loosed from your infirmity And he laid his hands on her and immediately she was made straight and glorified god But the ruler of the synagogue and sit with indignation Because jesus had healed on the Sabbath and he said to the crowd There are six days on which men ought to work Therefore come and be healed on them and not on the Sabbath day The lord then answered him and said hypocrite Hypocrite does not teach Does not each one of you on the Sabbath lose his ox or donkey From the stall and lead it away to water it So ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom satan has bound think of it for 18 years Be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath And when he said these things all his adversaries were put to shame And all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him Amen, thank you. Thank you Rosalind. So, uh, this this whole episode Shows a very good picture of jesus as a mediator jesus is there. He goes to the synagogue This woman has the spirit of infirmity. She's been bent over for the last 18 years Uh, so jesus goes into the synagogue and she says how much more so he brings healing upon her And then the Pharisees uh Sadducees or the people are saying hey, what are you doing on the Sabbath day? Don't work.  Or would you wait for the next week? And so he ends that whole You know discussion jesus is saying So ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom satan has bound Think of it for 18 years be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath And when he said these things all his adversaries were put to shame And the lord jesus stood as a mediator in that place Now when we extend our faith to To receive or to walk in the new covenant blessings Jesus is our mediator. He's our guarantor. He enforces these covenant blessings Now just as we looked in chapter one remember we looked at how god is a god who keeps his covenant He himself Is the one who is the proprietor of the covenant. He has made the covenant. He himself is the beneficiary of the covenant. He is the one who is going to Make sure that the covenant is fulfilled His part of the covenant is fulfilled so jesus And the covenant that he has made in the new covenant as a mediator Will he will not fail in enforcing The blessings of the new covenant upon us But he's not going to fail. So Second Corinthians 1 and verse 20 Let's read that second Corinthians 120 For all the promises of god in him are yes And in him amen to the glory of god through us Amen. Amen. Thank you john for all the promises of god in him are yes and amen now It's interesting to see that, you know There's one devil The devil is going to keep on keep on bringing accusations keep on trying to you know make us Falter trying to make us Deprived us of these new covenant provisions the new covenant blessings He's going to attempt us with you know erroneous teachings with ignorance Or he may say this is all You know, it doesn't make sense Or this is you know, how can it be? He brings doubt. He brings fear you know one of the Strongest lies right now the enemy is using Is that you know just be good to everyone?  There's division and all these things So the enemy brings all these Deceptions And this is only going to increase when we read the book of revelations And the things that are going to happen later on it's going to be Uh seductive spirits. There's going to be uh, you know Adult spirits as well just trying to take us away from the true teaching of god But we must remember that all his promises All his words Are a yes and an amen In our lives the word amen. We know it. It's so let it be All his promises are yes in our lives So be it In our lives to the glory of god through us and so We must understand that the enemy does not want us to have You know the provisions of the new covenant The moment we walk in that he knows he's defeated The one we keep saying i'm just going to stop sharing now The moment we keep saying okay god is with us, you know, the lord jesus is going to teach me He's going to empower me Uh, you know, i'm going through this season. It's all right. I put my trust in him the moment we Declare and say these words and walk in this understanding We have rendered him defeated Right, we have rendered him defeated he he cannot do anything against us Uh, but but here's the thing I love what paul writes the romans in romans 12.  He wants us The lord is not pleased when we when he sees us walking in sin or walking in Fear and walking in intimidation with the enemy.  You're my child Shake off all these things that the enemy is bringing stand up and i'm with you He wants to he wants us to Receive by fate every provision available in the new testament Right and and so as a as a mediator He's there with us We have this assurance Right any questions, uh, if we can move to chapter 11, we'll start with chapter 11 Any questions any thoughts? Maybe there are times Some of us may you know fall in our lives Fall to failures Fall to the works of the enemy Let it not suppress us like let let not the enemy oppress us Try to bring all these accusations if he does as well you and I We that's why we need to Uh relate to jesus through all these aspects. He's our advocate. He's a mediator He's our alos paracletos Our comforter our strength in our Our peace so many things that he is to us Right, uh, all right any any any questions any thoughts you'd like to share? Uh Or should we go on our new covenant blessings now, I know that a lot of uh, uh a lot of this may be Something that we already know Uh But there's a difference between knowing There's a difference between living it Right and so the reason we are studying this is not just to know what jesus is doing But to actually relate to him that way and to And to walk in that, uh, you know new covenant promises and provisions that he has blessed us with so That's a good reminder. It's it's really, you know, every time I You know preparing this yesterday.  He's given us more than that Right, he's gone to the extreme limit of doing all that he has to do and even now He's doing all he has to do just so that we may be a blessing Just so that we may you know, uh, enjoy the blessings of the new covenant Now I want to be careful here when I say blessings, it's not only, you know material. Yes material blessing is part of it But it's also being blessed In life the word blessed meaning is we may have little and be very blessed Satisfied content joyful peaceful Uh, you know a peaceful life But we can have more and then live a life full of fear doubt agony pain Causing destruction So it is it is a to what the new covenant brings to us is blessings Right, uh, and so we are to walk in these now Let's go to chapter 11 our new covenant blessings Now we looked at, uh, you know the abrahamic covenant mosaic covenant And we know a lot of the new covenant blessings. So when jesus died on the cross He established a new covenant the bible teaches us that he said I'll make all things new Right, he not only paid for forgiveness Of sins, but for everything we needed and we desired god made it available to us Through this new blood covenant So what are the privileges? provisions and blessings of our in the new covenant Remember in the old covenant the abrahamic mosaic covenant. There were certain privileges There were provisions. There were blessings Uh, and the same thing is there in the new covenant as well Uh, now we this chapter we're going to look at two cornerstones Of god's covenant with us Right, uh, we did look at this two cornerstones even in chapter two I looked at the nature of god But let's look at that again just to remind us, right? First thing is the nature of god He said I will bless you Means he means all who he is is made available to each of us. Uh, he's calling us God's all all of god's covenant names are made available to us The word of god is here with us now. This is very very very powerful picture this in the old covenant They had scriptures Uh, which was written inspired by the holy spirit And it all of that pointed to the lord jesus christ And now with the new covenant When we have this word of god the new covenant word that everything that the lord jesus has done You and I have a great privilege a great provisions for us So picture this the enemy comes He brings temptation. We have Hundreds of verses including in the old covenant, but when we look at the new covenant hundreds of verses Sometimes the enemy, you know, one of the verses I always use is you know, the enemy comes bring temptation. I says the enemy has Has been defeated. He has given me the authority to trample over snakes and scorpions a simple verse but packed with power Say god Right now the enemy is bringing confusion torment upon me bring temptation But I speak your word Which is you have given me the authority to trample over snakes and scorpions So I trample upon his work. I trample upon his thoughts. I I trample upon his ideas. I break it I another example the enemy is bringing temptation. Say, uh, he's bringing a stronghold in our life Say second Corinthians I think that's five where he says the weapons of our warfare not carnal, but a mighty in god We're to bring down strongholds Right, and so we have these wonderful, you know Verses the words of god that will you know, that has established us. It assures us of all his promises Wonderful the word of god is what keeps us Uh, it's truth. It's life Right, uh, let's read Galatians chapter 3 verse 13 and 14 and verse 29 Galatians 3 13 14 and verse 29. Sorry. I'm not projecting because uh, every time I project For some reason my laptop is hanging. So I'm trying to avoid that So let's read Galatians 3 13 and 14 verse 29 as well So let's read Galatians 3 13 and 14 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us It for it is written Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus That we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith Verse 29 And if you are Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and hairs according to the promise. Yeah. Thank you, Rosalind So Paul is writing to the Galatians now. We know that the Galatians Paul is really upset. He's gone on his first missionary journey He's Preached the gospel many of them have accepted Christ. He's finished his first missionary journey. He's coming back to Jerusalem So he visits the churches in Galatia Five churches in Galatia. He visits them And he realizes that All of them or most of them Who accepted the gospel have gone back to the law and circumcision So he goes back and he writes this very stone letter And three was 13 and was 14. He says that the blessings of Abraham That is old covenant the blessings of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus So he's reminding them That if you're going to circumcision Only to be get the blessings of Abraham You don't have to do that The blessings of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus That we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith Right. I hope you're getting what I'm trying to say the Galatians are going back to the law going back to Circumcision because they said oh, how can I not be circumcised? Then how will I receive the blessings? God promised Abraham Paul is writing and saying Now if that is the case The blessings of Abraham might will come upon the Gentiles In Christ Jesus as well. So if we believe in Christ Jesus We not only receive the blessings of the new covenant, but we also receive the blessings of the old covenant Right and verse 29 and if you are Christ, then you are Abraham seed Now this is big deal for those who are Jews And listening to this Okay, so if I'm Christ, then I'm also Abraham seed Yes, because before Abraham was I am Right. So Jesus Paul is trying to make the Galatians understand That you're going for something which is smaller when there's you know, there's there's a there's a Say for example, there's You know a gift here a small gift And here there's a gift which is 10 times bigger Right. Now we have access to both But as Galatians, you're going to the smaller one When you have option to go to the bigger one To receive the one the bigger gift, which is 10 times more than the smaller one Why are you running behind the small gift? Go for the bigger one Because when you go for the bigger one, it includes all of that which is there in the small one So, you know, I hope you're understanding. That's what Paul is writing and he's saying Don't be worried that if you're not circumcised, Abraham's blessing will not come upon you. No If you believe in Christ Jesus, you will receive the Abraham's blessings And you will also be called Abraham seed as heirs according to the promise What is those blessings? We looked at all those blessings, right? Blessed in all things Blessed to be a blessing to all nations Righteousness by faith Friendship with God Victory over our enemies Blessings over our family and children So in the new covenant We have everything of the Abrahamic covenant And more so So that is why Paul was very upset with the Galatians. They did not understand Now you can't blame the Galatians because I mean, you can't put the entire blame on them because they were so used to the law They were so used to, you know, hey, I need to be Circumcised to be part of God, the Abrahamic covenant So Paul is clarifying and saying you don't have to circumcise yourself You'll get all of it by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ So the old covenant promises are our minimum Right, this is the minimum Once you accept the Lord Jesus Christ, these are just the minimum meaning The initial you will get this And then the new covenant blessings are so much more and we all can walk in that Let's read Okay, there's a big passage here Deuteronomy 28 I'm sure we have read this many times.  Wonderful Is the new covenant good? It's better So you're not only Paul is writing into the Galatians He's saying you're not only getting the Abrahamic blessings But you're also getting the blessings of the new covenant Now, why is this important? Because we know that in the old, the Abrahamic covenant The people, yes, they were circumcised They were, they would receive all this But they didn't have forgiveness of sins They didn't have, you know, this whole relationship with God They only had the high priest who would do prayers for them Intercede for them But in the new covenant, we have a relationship We have forgiveness So what we can apply from the new covenant We apply it into our life What we have in the new covenant We apply those also into our lives Into our lives Let's read Matthew chapter 15 24 to 26 This is a nice example here Matthew 15, 24 to 26 But he answered and said I was not sent except to the lost sheep Of the house of Israel Then she came and worshiped him saying Lord help me But he answered and said it is not good The children's bread and throw it to the little dogs And she said Yes Lord, yet even the little dogs Eat the crumbs which fall from their master's table Then Jesus answered and said to her Her woman, great is your faith Let it be to you as you desire And her daughter was healed from that video Amen, thank you John So this is a powerful example of faith This woman was not part of the covenant She was not part of the covenant So Jesus is trying to say Jesus is not making fun of her Trying to mock her But he is just trying to put a point saying This bread is for those who are part of the covenant The blessings that I am giving Is for those who are part of the covenant But you are not part of the covenant So how can I give you this? And the woman's reply was amazing Yes, but even when you throw the bread to the dog The crumbs that have fallen down Is something that we can take And Jesus was amazed by that response And she says, you know This sentence that you said Has not only, you know Forget about the old covenant I am giving you something better I am giving you the blessings Of the new covenant I am giving you the blessings Of the new covenant I am giving you the blessings Of the new covenant And later on the blessings of the old covenant Will automatically come in He says, so be it And from that moment Her daughter lived The blessing of her new covenant And we receive that By faith God The Lord Jesus in Ephesians He writes In Ephesians and he says Where the Lord Jesus Has positioned us As new covenant people Ephesians 1-3 Blessed be to God And the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Who has blessed us With every spiritual blessing In the heavenly places in Christ Jesus He goes on later to say He has seated us in heavenly places as well First, He has blessed us With every spiritual blessing In the heavenly places Every spiritual blessing Is ours When we are in Christ We can pray And ask God This is what you have promised This is your covenant And I am standing by this You have blessed us With every spiritual blessing 2 Corinthians 1-20 Again, of God, our yeses and name Some of these Are forgiveness, justification Sanctification Healing, redemption The list goes on Peace, joy So much is being offered To us And here is the best part As believers All of us are Qualified to partake of it all We can be Bible college students We can be people working in the Corporate sector We can be people who are Very famous Rich, poor Tall, short Nothing matters We may have been murderers in the past Live the most horrendous life In the past But once we accept Christ We are all partakers Of these blessings The Lord is not going to say You are a murderer before So for you Wait for some time, only then After a year, let me see how you are And only then I will bless you No, no, no The moment we accept Him as our personal Saviour We can all partake of these blessings Colossians 1-12 Giving thanks to the Father Who has Qualified us We can be partakers Of the inheritance Of the saints in the light I am reminded of this During Sports days in school We have something called as the Qualifiers, we used to call it heats You have qualifiers For example, you have a 200 meter Race There will be about 50 students Who says, even I want to run I want to run for the sports day I also want to So they will be qualifiers So out of the 50 Finally It will land up with the last Maybe 5 or 6 people 6 people will be qualified Now as qualified people They have the authority To come on the sports day Stand and run They have to just go in And run You are qualified to get in For that race The same way This may not be A proper appropriate example But what I am trying to say is The same way You and I, as believers Once we have accepted We are qualified We don't need Certificates The Lord Jesus does not need Any kind of letter of recommendation From our pastor Or from anybody Nothing The moment we believe The giving Thanks to the Father Who has qualified us To be partakers Of the inheritance of the saints Not by Our own works He has qualified us So when we are qualified There is a sense of Acceptance There is a sense of joy There is a sense of Hope And The Lord Jesus Has qualified each one of us What a joy that is If you think about it Sit and think about it He has qualified us To be partakers of his inheritance You can say, Lord, I am not qualified I am a worm I don't know anything Now what are we doing? We are speaking words that are going to cause problems To our own lives And we should not We should not speak that way Death and life are in the power of our tongue And the Lord Jesus is saying You are qualified We don't have to pray I am a worm Help me to become something better than a worm No You are not a worm We are the children of the living God And we are partakers Of his inheritance So We will stop here We will pick up from chapter 12 from next week I don't know if there is a lot Of material But it looks like we are getting good ground What we will do is we will quickly Finish with the covenants We will get into the cross Looking at the centrality of the cross And the power of the blood Of Jesus as well Any questions before we close? What I would also like to do Is Maybe I will Put up the midterm assignment Sometimes this week So the midterm assignment will be 50 marks And then It will be put up on the class tab And also on the stream So I just want to encourage all of us To Give it before the due date to post the Assignments before the due date Because after that there is nothing more That I will not be able to make changes On the due date once it is already set I will Will give the instructions as well It will be a simple 50 mark Exam just to understand what we have learned And then the end of April will be another 50 mark Exam which will be a final exam And then both of marks will be collated Together The final grades So this week Sometimes I will post And put up the assignment On the classwork tab And also on the Stream It will be an open book exam So don't worry you can Refer your notes as well As you write the exam Alright let's bring this session To a close Could one of us please close in prayer Would you mind closing in prayer Sure doctor Thank you Thank you Thank you everyone Have a great week ahead I will catch up next week God bless you all See you soon


Item number. SCP-050. Object Class. Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. So far, all attempts to contain SCP-050 have proven fruitless. At present, whoever has possession of SCP-050 is to leave it in an office they use with regularity. Additional notes. Testing to contain SCP-050 has been discontinued at this time. Attempts to leave SCP-050 in unused offices have resulted in it following its owner home. This is a violation of regulations and not to be allowed. Description. SCP-050 appears to be a statue of a monkey reading a book, approximately one foot tall. On the bottom of the statue are engraved the words, to the cleverest, incursive script. One of the quirks of SCP-050 is that, no matter what form of measurement is used, any record of said measurements will quickly be replaced by the customary system measurements. The statue is so far proven resistant to all forms of damage. Attempts to damage SCP-050 have resulted in increasingly lethal pranks. As of this writing, destruction testing is discontinued. As such, there is no accurate method to date the object. When left alone, SCP-050 has shown itself to be both useful and antagonistic to its current owner. Although never seen to move, no matter the manner or amount of recordings, any room it is left in becomes very clean to polish whenever possible. Paperwork is filed, trash is emptied, and in general clutter is removed. However, SCP-050 also has a tendency to leave traps for its owner, so current holders should carefully check their offices upon returning. Document 050, The Great Researcher Prank War. During an attempted capture of SCP-963 by Chaos Insurgency agents, Dr. Breik made use of 963's intrinsic capabilities to make fools of the attempted kidnappers. When Breik returned to his office, he found a monkey statue waiting for him. His office had been tidied in his absence, and everything filed away, which came as something of a shock for the naturally messy Dr. Breik. Upon further investigation, it was found that, despite the apparent tidiness of his office, all of his pens had been drained of all but the last bit of ink, and several important documents had been translated into Aramaic. Dr. Breik immediately began the usual testing of this new SCP, but found himself going nowhere, until Dr. Reitz, as payback for something unspecified, smeared his desk with one half of a compound epoxy, and applied the other half of the compound to his utensils. At this point, SCP-050 vanished from Dr. Breik's office, reappearing in Dr. Reitz's office, where upon 050 began the cleanup again. After several tests, it became apparent that SCP-050 was easily contained, as long as no one outside the foundation proved to be cleverer than the foundation scientists. Of course, this led to many of the foundation scientists seeking to claim the title of most clever for themselves, and thus began the Great Researcher-Prank War. Memorandum 050A, no good will come of this. 05- Entry 1. Dr. English accesses SCP-705. 05-705 is allowed access to approximately 100 pounds of similarly colored Play-Doh. After several minutes' conversation, the new army retreats to the ventilation shafts. No footage of Dr. Breik's room exists, but several hours later, Dr. Breik stumbles out, covered in little red welts and red Play-Doh, swearing and muttering. SCP-050 transfers ownership to Dr. English. Entry 2. Agent Strelnikov is seen exiting his room in full rage, carrying a machine gun. Smoke pours from the open door of his quarters. Senior Researcher Isendorf is later found to be in possession of 050, proving that a good enough prank will attract 050's attention, no matter the target. Entry 3. Dr. Isendorf returned from a brief coffee break to discover a typed note sitting on his desk, rewritten here. Dr. Isendorf. It seems there was a problem with the Class A amnesiac you requested following your SCP-231 assignment. Please hop on the next plane leaving from the site and wait until someone comes and picks you up so that we can get this all sorted out. Cheers, 050. Despite factual and stylistic errors in this note, inappropriately informal style, the fact that there is no Overseer 3.14, Dr. Isendorf apparently took the note seriously and became highly distressed. Dr. Isendorf boarded the next airplane leaving Site-23, which turned out to be a regularly scheduled flight traveling to Site-19. Dr. Isendorf apparently did not realize this until landing, at which point he still waited over 8 hours outside the site before a guard found him and asked him what he was doing. Dr. Isendorf soon confirmed that he had never been assigned to SCP-231 and quickly worked out what had happened. SCP-050 was observed in the office of Dr. Kondraki later that same day. Entry 4 At 7.28pm Dr. Kondraki was called away by Assistant Researcher House under the pretense of an SCP-173 containment breach. Security cameras recovered footage of the ensuing prank. Upon returning to his office, Kondraki pauses briefly when he reaches his door.  It was later revealed that Dr. Calde had placed a replica of SCP-173 in Kondraki's office, positioned in such a way that it faced the door, establishing eye contact with whoever might enter the room. Kondraki continued to retreat, until slipping on a hitherto unnoticed puddle of cooking oil. The replica of SCP-173, made of wire frame, paper mache, and spray paint, was relocated to Dr. Joseph Calde's office, shortly followed by SCP-050. Entry 5 Upon returning to his office, Dr. Calde was surprised to find the statue replaced with a note, reading, I can't believe no one's thought of this. The statue was later located in the staff locker of Agent Yorick, who had simply stolen it. Entry 6 Statue returned to Calde, Yorick's living space in utter disarray. Agent Yorick is found unconscious. The words, to be earned, tattooed on his forehead through unknown means. Entry 7 Maintenance teams were called 27 times to Dr. Calde's office while he was out, all having received orders to install, repair, or remove a piece of furniture from the office, apparently at random. Dr. Calde became increasingly paranoid about these intrusions, considering his possession of SCP-050, and decided to bring his paperwork and the SCP back to his quarters and work from there. Upon entering his quarters, Dr. Calde was doused by the contents of a bucket, carefully balanced on the entrance's door jam. Ownership of SCP-050 changes to Dr. Light. Entry 8 Dr. Coleman was seen pinning a notice to the Breakroom Notice Board, which read, due to the effects of SCP-050, all personnel who have received an amnesiac of any kind within the past six months are required to report to Dr. Light immediately. This was signed and notarized by no fewer than 17 members of O5 command and senior staff. After seeing this, an email was immediately sent out, retracting the information, and causing mass panic among some of our more paranoid employees. After what can only be described as a bum rush on Dr. Light's newly refurbished office, resulting in the destruction of many items contained within, SCP-050 was found on Dr. Coleman's desk. Entry 9 Dr. Coleman was called out of his quarters by an email from an unknown source. Five minutes later, security footage showed Dr. Okagawa entering Schumacher's quarters, carrying a bag with unknown contents, and leaving the room a few minutes later without the bag. Upon returning, Coleman discovered a dead rodent, which appeared to have been slathered in the secretions of SCP-447. Personnel in adjacent rooms reported hearing a stream of profanity, followed by a thud. Worried researchers found him passed out on the floor, while the slime was later identified as green gelatin from the kitchen, and the dead rat as a rubber toy. SCP-050 was later found in Dr. Okagawa's office. Entry 10 Videolog 12.34pm Dr. Okagawa leaves for the cafeteria, presumably for lunch or late breakfast. Researcher Chappalski is seen entering Dr. Okagawa's office, carrying several testing vials and SCP-1. Left the office five minutes later, closing the door behind him rather hurriedly. Okagawa returns ten minutes later, opens the door, and is snagged by a large tentacle which pulls him into the office and shuts the door behind him.  The team is seen trying to neutralize the cephalopod, and free Okagawa. The animal's remains were subsequently destroyed. SCP-050 has been located in Researcher Chappalski's office. Entry 11-1 Researcher Chappalski came into work at approximately 0800 hours, and promptly received a pie in the face. Courtesy of Project Director Jones. SCP-050 was found on Project Director Jones' desk later that afternoon. What? That wasn't original at all. Dr. Bright. Entry 11-2 Project Director Jones reported to his post researching SCP-1. Upon entering the facility, he was met by Researcher Chappalski, who threw two pies at his face. SCP-050 was found in Researcher Chappalski's office ten minutes later. Entry 11-3 Chappalski entered his office to find Project Director Jones waiting for him with three pies, which he promptly threw at the researcher's face. SCP-050 appeared in Jones' workplace evening. Guys, I think we broke it. Project Director Jones. Entry 11-4 In the middle of the workday, Dr. Bright entered Jones' research lab with four pies, which he threw in his face. As he was leaving, security footage records him saying, this better not f***ing work. SCP-050 was on Dr. Bright's desk upon his return. Notes.  Okay, no more f***ing pies. All right. Project Director Jones. Entry unintelligible. An error occurred in the Foundation main database, reassigning System Technician Kent to a squad alongside the cleaning crews. During the assignment, Joshua Kent was ordered to f***ing sewage with several gallons of feces on his head. During the second half of the assignment, Kent had to test several hours, despite the odor. During this time, a routine system sweep had found a virus in the database. Despite the numerous nearby systems that could have been infected, SCP-1337 concerning System Technician Kent's assignment. System Technician Kent was returned to Site 23, largely unharmed. SCP-050 was discovered sitting by a hard drive heavily infected with SCP-732, with the statue seeming to consider the virus its new owner. Entry 13 and 14. Data expunged. Entry 15. Dr. Light connected the SCP-732 infected hard drive to a scanner and asked 732 if it could produce lolcat images on request. Its response, presented in the form of an 8000-word erotic story featuring itself, in the form of a man named Lord Kickass. Dr. Light, and r***, was that with the help of SCP-050 it can do anything. Dr. Light provided SCP-732 with scanned photographs of SCP-577, SCP-529, SCP-607, then two instantiations of SCP-331. SCP-732 produced 10 lolcat images for each photograph. Dr. Light then provided SCP-732 with SCP-637 in the form of a drawing by SCP-637-2. As a result of this, SCP-732 was rapidly overwritten with an estimated 63 gigabytes of text describing SCP-637's actions and appearance. Whether this information could have filled all available computer memories unknown, as the last actions of the Lord Kickass instantiation were to induce total mechanical failure to its hard drive, accompanied by catastrophic uncontrolled oxidation. SCP-050 was found in Dr. Light's office the next morning. Note, SCP-637-2 reports that SCP-637 was not harmed by its venture into SCP-732, but that its fur was really messed up. Note, other copies of SCP-732 seem unaffected by the suicide of Lord Kickass. Item number SCP-14 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-14 is to be kept in sight in a chair with arms, preferably facing a window. Music should be supplied on a regular basis, preferably constantly. This music should not include pieces originating after 1937. A security camera should be present in SCP-14's room.  Records indicate his name to be Robert Chetford, confined in 1915 to the Norwich Asylum in Connecticut for delusional insanity, claiming that he had been cursed to live forever and was slowly turning into concrete inconsequence. The asylum closed in 1937, and the patients were transferred to various other facilities. SCP-14 came to Foundation attention in 1931, from rumors of a patient who seemed to be entirely immobile and showed no signs of aging. Further investigation determined that acquisition was warranted. SCP-14 is to all outward appearances a normal man, but he does not appear to age and shows no signs of possessing a metabolism. He does not eat, drink, perspire, or in any other way demonstrate life functions. He breathes only to speak, and apart from his eyes and vocal apparatus, is to all appearances utterly immobile. He has never shown any evidence of pressure ulcers despite his position not having varied for several decades. Neither do his muscles appear atrophied. He can converse normally, but shows little knowledge of or interest in events since his confinement. Addendum Note Frankly, were I to interview this man without knowing his history, I'd think he was a perfectly sane and well adjusted individual who happens to be quadriplegic. As it is, I have to conclude that he's the ultimate proof of the idea that the mind rules the body. He thinks he's concrete and will live forever, and so he's as close to both as he can be. Somehow. Dr. Rude Item Number SCP-173 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Item SCP-173 is to be kept in a locked container at all times. When personnel must enter SCP-173's container, no fewer than three may enter at any time, and the doors to be relocked behind them. At all times, two persons must maintain direct eye contact with SCP-173 until all personnel have vacated and relocked to the container. Description Move to Site-19 in 1993. Origin is as of yet unknown. It is constructed from concrete and rebar, with traces of Krylon brand spray paint. SCP-173 is animate and extremely hostile. The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight. Line of sight must not be broken at any time with SCP-173. Personnel assigned to enter container are instructed to alert one another before blinking. Object is reported to attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or by strangulation. In the event of an attack, personnel are to observe Class-4 hazardous object containment procedures. Personnel report sounds of scraping stone originating from within the container when no one is present inside. This is considered normal, and any change in this behavior should be reported to the acting HMCL supervisor on duty. The reddish brown substance on the floor is a combination of feces and blood. Origin of these materials is unknown. The enclosure must be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis. Item Number SCP-146 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Containment procedures have been revised after it was noted that the effects of SCP-146 were sharply and dangerously increased under previous containment. A standard one-half, 0.5-meter cubed secure storage bin. The bin should remain free, however, should a researcher wish to test SCP-146 at high intensity. Level 3 clearance is required for any personnel wishing to enclose or cover SCP-146 for a period exceeding two days. During normal storage, SCP-146 is to be kept on a marble pedestal in its storage room, located data-expunged. SCP-146's standard storage room measures no less than 20 square meters, with stuccoed walls, and a ceiling painted to resemble a clear daytime sky. The room is to be kept well-lit, full daylight equivalent, at all times, furnished with an assortment of potted plants, which must be tended to daily, and decorated in the style of the late Republican period of Rome, circa 120-80 BCE. Experimentation with different interior styles has shown that SCP-146 seems to prefer this arrangement, and to have aesthetic preferences consistent with the aristocracy of Rome from that era. While this containment is standard, researchers with clearance level two or higher may experiment with different containment settings in order to modify the effects of SCP-146. While SCP-146 is non-motile and therefore requires little security itself, personnel entering its containment area or handling it in any way must not make eye contact with SCP-146. Any attempts to cover SCP-146 in order to prevent eye contact is prohibited, as this has been shown to increase SCP-146's effect at an unpredictable rate. In general, one day of covering or confinement will cause SCP-146 to skip over the beginning phase of its effect, and begin with the most traumatic memories. After three days, SCP-146 has been shown to produce its effect without having to make direct eye contact first. After seven days, the effect of SCP-146 is both far more intense and no longer confined to subjects within SCP-146's field of vision. Researchers in an adjacent room were affected, and one was permanently... permission to experiment beyond seven days is denied by order of 05 blinders and decorative screens are available for personnel who must enter SCP-146's containment area for maintenance. Description. SCP-146 is a hollow bronze head, apparently a fragment of a complete statue or bust, depicting a crowned young woman, or perhaps an effeminate young man. The head exhibits severe vertegries over much of its surface. The crown of SCP-146 is enlaid with silver decorations, and its eyes, the apparent source of SCP-146's effects, are beaten silver, shined to be mildly reflective. To date, SCP-146 has not exhibited any signs of movement, but its reaction to certain decor in its containment area indicates that it may possess a degree of sentience, if not outright sapience. If SCP-146 is able to communicate, it has not yet done so. SCP-146 exhibits the ability to access and bring to mind certain memories in those who initiate eye contact. These memories are usually tied to a sense of guilt or shame in the subject. After initial eye contact is made, the subject need only remain somewhere in SCP-146's field of vision for the memories and associated feelings to become more intense, although continual eye contact speeds the process. Upon initial eye contact with SCP-146, recent memories will begin to surface in the subject. For example, subjects who have ignored a friend in the hall or exceeded the speed limit will be reminded of these events and begin to feel mildly guilty whether or not they would normally care about the event. With continued exposure to the gaze of SCP-146, the subject will begin to recall older and more vivid memories, with a corresponding increase in feelings of shame in the subject. Generally, after 30 minutes of exposure, the memories will move from being vivid recollections to intense hallucinations, with the subject unable to distinguish the past from the present or the imagined from the real. Subjects have been observed to regress in personality as well, particularly in cases where the memories of childhood trauma have been brought up. Any test subjects exposed for over 30 minutes should be restrained, both for their own safety and the safety of others. All subjects to date who have been exposed to SCP-146 for 60 minutes have completely retreated into their hallucinations. So far, no such subject has been restored to consciousness from this near-catatonic state. Such subjects must be fed intravenously and are unresponsive to external stimuli, save for occasional murmurings consistent with their aggression. It has also been noted that when subjects recall a shameful event, they will often feel compelled to make amends for their actions. This is not generally a problem in the case of minor offenses, and has in some cases led to greater unity among the staff. However, problems arise when the subject cannot make amends, either because the offended party cannot be contacted or because the transgression is somehow irredeemable. Sometimes, the subject will put forth renewed positive efforts in order to balance out their guilt. However, in most such cases, subjects fall into a deep depression and or turn to some form of self-punishment, including self-mutilation and suicide. SCP-146 was acquired from a Mr. of Birmingham, UK. He had acquired SCP-146 during the estate sale of a renowned philanthropist, Lord Whip. It was purchased in a lot with a number of other artifacts. When its new owner began to experience SCP-146's effects, he began seeing a psychiatrist undercover agent UA-33-56G. The man was put into an institution, and SCP-146 was taken into Foundation custody. Experiment log 146-01. In order to calibrate a baseline for SCP-146's effects, a standard 4 meter by 4 meter interrogation room was divided in half by an opaque curtain. SCP-146 was placed on a table inside a protective plexiglass case in one half of the room. On the other side of the curtain, subject D-044-323 was restrained, such that he was looking directly at SCP-146's position. Researchers maintained constant communication with the subject via intercom throughout the testing process. The curtain was dropped, causing the subject to look squarely into the eyes of SCP-146. The subject voiced immediate discomfort and closed his eyes with an increase in heart rate of 15 BPM. With prompting, the subject related the memories he was recalling, beginning with minor breaches of behavior protocol. The subject then recalled several altercations with other prisoners before his being taken by the Foundation, including a particularly graphic description of data expunged. Researchers noted that as time went on, the subject became more cooperative and his speech patterns changed, resembling someone undergoing therapeutic hypnosis. After 15 minutes, the subject's speech had become slurred and his EEG patterns showed similarities to someone experiencing vivid dreams. The subject entered into one half of a dialogue, which culminated in his trying to break his restraints. After several minutes, the subject ceased thrashing and began to cry. The subject started begging, apparently to someone in his hallucination. Stop. Take it back. Don't. I won't do it again. I'm sorry. I don't want to. Not again. Stop. Please. This behavior continued until, after 54 minutes of exposure to SCP-146, the subject's vocalizations halted and his EEG showed signs consistent with coma. After an additional hour, no further effects were observed and the subject was removed and euthanized. Note, at this point, SCP-146 was being kept along with the other artifacts purchased at auction because it was not yet known that the effect was confined to SCP-146 alone. I theorized that this containment approximated favorable containment and therefore kept SCP-146's effect at its base strength. Professor Scali. Experiment log, 146-04. The first experiment conducted after it was determined that SCP-146 consisted only of the bronze head took place after SCP-146 had been moved to a standard 1.5-meter cubed storage bin where it had remained for two days. Subject D-044784 and SCP-146 were placed on opposite sides of a curtain in a standard interrogation room as in previous experiments. The subject was restrained as in previous experiments. When the curtain was dropped, the subject reported an immediate headache and began to cry. The subject's heart rate jumped to 180 BPM but then dropped rapidly to 40 BPM and the subject lost consciousness. Medical personnel entered the room and began examining the subject, at which time the subject regained consciousness, her heart rate spiking to 175 BPM. The subject struggled violently against her restraints and was soon able to break the restraint on her right arm, severely damaging her own arm and hand in the process. Paramedic D was injured as the subject struck him in order to gain access to his first aid kit. The subject was able to grab a small scalpel and jam it into her own neck before guards could regain control. Medical staff administered first aid but the subject died during emergency surgery due to blood loss. Note, after several similar incidents it was determined that SCP-146's ability was affected by its containment. Anyone wishing to do further research must take this into account as even brief accidental exposure could prove harmful. Professor Scali Item number, SCP-11. Object Class, Safe. Special Containment Procedures. Item SCP-11 and the area surrounding it are to be cleaned once every day. For safety purposes, cleaning should start at least 30 minutes after sundown. Cleaning should always be performed by at least two personnel, who are also advised to note anything unusual about the item or the debris cleaned up. In a situation where the item cannot be cleaned for more than two days, local residents must be contacted and instructed not to approach the item. Note, containment procedures nullified, 2004. Description. SCP-11 is a Civil War Memorial statue located in Woodstock, Vermont. The statue is the image of a young male soldier holding a musket at his side and is carved out of granite quarried within the area. Occasionally, SCP-11 has been observed lifting its musket to the sky to fire at birds which attempt to land or defecate on it. Reports detail that its movements produce soft grinding sounds but do not cause it any structural failure. Oddly, the gunfire is very similar to that of a standard firearm. Despite observations that the item only loads granite bullets and granite powder into the musket, which is also unharmed by the firing. In spite of its efforts, some fecal matter does manage to strike SCP-11 and it has reportedly become distressed when it has had a large amount of feces on it, on some rare occasions even firing at humans. Addendum. Those assigned to maintain SCP-11 are to see document number 11-1 for instructions. Document number 11-1. Maintenance brief. Note. Document archived 2004. Accessible to personnel with security clearance 2-0-1-1 or higher. Additional information. SCP-11's seeming sentience has increased since the first report of activity in 1995. As of 2004, the item's containment procedures have been dropped but it remains under constant observation, recorded below our landmark events in its activity. Timeline. March 12, 1995.

Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the Acer Predator Helios 3D. To gain access to the internals, you have to undo 11 Torx head screws. Then, you can carefully raise the bottom panel by holding firmly the two exhaust vents on the back and lift away the plate from the chassis. Please remember, it would be of great help to us if you just hit the like button and subscribe to our channel. That would motivate us to make even more and better videos for you. There are two cooling pads on the inside of the bottom panel for cooling the SSD's controllers. Clever idea. The battery is a 90.61 watt hour unit. Before taking it out, unplug the connector from the main board. The capacity is enough for 3 hours and 8 minutes of web browsing or 2 hours and 56 minutes of video playback. The battery isn't fixed to the base with screws because there is a dedicated socket for it on the inside of the bottom plate that is securing the unit in place. The memory is protected by a metal shroud. To remove it, you have to undo one screw and then you can lift up the plate with a plastic tool. There are two thin thermal pads on the inside of the metal cap for cooling the memory. Speaking of which, the two sodiums can handle up to 32GB of DDR5, 5600MHz RAM and dual channel. Two additional cooling pads are placed below the RAM sticks. Good job, Acer. For storage, you get two M.2 slots compatible with Gen4 SSD's. In our case, the NVMe's are working in RAID 0 mode. The SSD below the GPU chip and the chipset are additionally cooled by a thermal pad. The cooling is massive. It comprises two fans and two heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU. There is one additional pipe for the processor and two more for the video card. We can also spot four heat sinks and a pair of big heat spreaders. The bigger one is on the side of the GPU.


This is not a drill. Let's talk about keeping your video tight. Tightening up your video involves taking out what's unnecessary and maintaining the pace. Trimming, cutting, punching and speeding up are techniques you can use to tighten up your video. You're likely to have extra recording at the start and end of a clip. Turn that away. Perform surgery and extract mistakes and long pauses. A popular video style is to embrace cuts. Jump cuts remove sections of video and they don't try to hide the fact that something was cut out. Jump cuts can be jarring, but that might be what you're going for. I'm not a jump cutter, but I am a puncher. Let me explain. When I feel like I've been talking for a while, I'll do a cut and scale up the clip. Then a few seconds later, I'll cut again and scale the clip back down. It kind of looks like I'm shooting with multiple cameras and switching between them. Another way to describe a cutting and scaling is punching in or punching out. Punching in and punching out adds visual variety to my videos, but it also hides my flubs Yes, I might punch in because I feel the need to change up the shot, but I also punch in instead of using a jump cut to edit out a mistake. It's not as jarring because your brain is used to the changes in framing. Punching in and punching out isn't just for when I'm on screen. I frequently punch in and out in my screen recordings. I first show the whole screen as an establishing shot. Then I cut and scale to zoom into the relevant part of the screen. It focuses attention and makes it easier to see. If you're showing a demonstration and don't want to cut out any of the parts, you might speed up the video. If the video has audio, be sure to mute the audio. You can add a voiceover or music on another track.  But in general, it's best to keep a peppy pace. Trimming, cutting, punching, and speeding up are tools you can use.


I saw this play in this cricket match and I said, that looks a lot like an infielder throwing a runner out at first with the barehand play. Now he's aiming at the stumps trying to hit the stumps before the runner crosses the crease. In baseball, you're throwing it to the first baseman trying to catch it before the runner passes the bag. And look, I found an identical match. Same play. They ain't that different these two sports, huh? Same skill set sometimes.


I'm Kersuho. Welcome. Namaste. My name is Rick. I'm from London. I study Sanskrit. I'm learning Hindi because I go to India quite often. I am following a spiritual practice which is part of the ancient Indian philosophies. During the day I'm studying to be a paramedic. It's quite a contrast to come here in the evening but actually it's really lovely to kind of take a bit of time out and kind of use my brain for something different. I grew up in an area in northwest London, Wembley, where there's a big South Asian community and most of my friends are either Indian, Bangladeshi or Pakistani. Sort of India kind of feels like home when I go there. So I started learning Tamil about two years ago shortly after I met my partner. Language is like the door to his culture to keep it equal. I study Tamil and he studies German because German is my native language and what's been interesting to understand is Tamil grammar is actually quite similar to German grammar so you'd think I have an advantage but I don't feel it yet. I wanted to learn it because it's part of my culture and heritage and also when I was young my mother and aunt used to recite universes from the scriptures I didn't really know what they meant but they sounded lovely. It's the root of the Indo-European language and I think all the languages for example German, French, some of the roots are so common to it you would want to know that.
