We've seen that quantum mechanics tells us it's possible to know the magnitude of an electron's angular momentum and its projection along one direction in space, so we can only measure one of the three components of L. This sounds a bit like the uncertainty principle, according to that if we know position precisely then we can't know anything about momentum and vice versa. The uncertainty principle was first presented by Werner Heisenberg and it's sometimes called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. In the early years of quantum mechanics people struggled to understand the full implications of this. One line of thought was that maybe all physical quantities really have precise values, as in our macroscopic world it's just that there's a problem with measuring them. After all in the case of angular momentum we've seen how even in classical physics the very act of making a measurement can change the properties of the system being measured. This is often called the observer effect. Suppose we have a cup of coffee and we want to know it's temperature, so we stick a thermometer in it. Well, if the thermometer is too big it will absorb considerable heat from the coffee and so change the very temperature we're trying to measure. A solution would be to get a thermometer small enough that we can safely ignore the heat it absorbs from the coffee. But in quantum mechanics we don't have this option. You can't exactly build an instrument smaller than an electron. Heisenberg's microscope is a thought experiment that illustrates the relation between the observer effect and the uncertainty principle at the atomic level. Suppose we have a particle moving along the x-axis with some momentum P. We fire a photon towards it. The photon has wavelength lambda, hence momentum H over lambda. Now assume the momentum of the electron and the photon are precisely known. We're going to determine the electron's position by imaging it with a lens. One theory tells us that if at the electron the lens covers an angle theta then the position of the electron can be imaged with the resolution delta x where delta x equals lambda over theta. We can make delta x smaller by making lambda smaller and or by making theta bigger. But when we detect the photon all we will know is that it has passed through the lens. It might have traveled towards the right in which case it will have an x component of momentum equal to H over lambda times theta over 2 or it might have traveled towards the left in which case the Px component is the negative of that. The uncertainty in the photon's x component of momentum is the difference of these values or H over lambda times theta. Since momentum is conserved in the interaction of the electron and photon any uncertainty in the photon's final x momentum implies the same uncertainty in the electron's final x momentum. Thus H over lambda times theta is also the uncertainty in the electron's final x momentum. Multiplying delta x and delta Px we obtain the uncertainty principle. Even if we knew the electron momentum exactly to start the very act of measuring its position introduced a momentum uncertainty. And the more precisely we try to determine position by using a smaller wavelength photon or a larger lens we end up introducing a larger momentum uncertainty. This illustrates how even if the electron has a precise momentum and precise position we wouldn't be able to determine both with arbitrary precision. In fact as we saw in video 3 in the wave particle duality picture the concept of simultaneously well-defined position and momentum doesn't even make sense. Heisenberg described how difficult it was to come to terms with these concepts. He kept asking himself can nature possibly be as absurd as it seemed to us in these atomic experiments? He concluded that it's natural for us to ask what happens really in an atomic event but quantum mechanics tells us that the term happens is restricted to the observation. We cannot describe what happens at least in the normal sense of the word between one observation and the next. In fact it's an illusion that the kind of existence the direct actuality of the world around us can be extrapolated into the atomic range. The quantum weirdness of the uncertainty principle and of our inability to measure more than one component of angular momentum are expressed formally in the idea of commuting and non-commuting operators. One reason we want to discuss this is that it's a central reason why it can be said that nobody truly understands quantum mechanics. In fact it'll come up directly in a future video when we investigate one of the strangest conclusions of quantum mechanics, a conclusion that calls into question our very conception of reality. This was brought to light in a 1935 paper by Einstein, Podolski and Rosen titled Can Quantum Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete? Their argument rests on the fact that, quote, in quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. We say that multiplication is commutative. Two times three equals three times two. Equivalently, two times three minus three times two equals zero. Multiplication is commutative because it doesn't matter in which order we multiply two numbers. We get the same result in either case. On the other hand, division is not commutative. Two divided by three is not equal to three divided by two, or two-thirds minus three halves is not equal to zero. With division it does matter in which order we divide two numbers. Let's make a cartoonish illustration of this with the idea of commuting measurements. Suppose we have our cup of coffee again and we want to know how deep the coffee is. We stick a ruler in the coffee and measure eight centimeters. We also want to know the coffee's mass. So we put it on a scale and let's assume the scale is calibrated to read zero with an empty cup and we measure 200 grams. We want to check our depth measurement again so we put the ruler back into the cup and again measure eight centimeters. To make sure we got the correct mass we put the cup back on the scale and again we measure 200 grams. We can make these measurements as often as we want and in any order and we always get the same depth and mass. In this case we're justified in claiming that the coffee really has a depth of eight centimeters and really has a mass of 200 grams. Now suppose instead that after measuring a depth of eight centimeters and a mass of 200 grams we again measure the depth and obtain a result of 11 centimeters. Measure the mass again and find 140 grams. Our measurements are non commuting. In this case we simply have no physical basis for saying that coffee has a specific depth or mass. Suppose further that after measuring a depth of eight centimeters we remove our ruler. A while later we measure the depth and again find its eight centimeters. We repeat this any number of times and always obtain the result eight centimeters. Then we're justified in saying that the coffee is quote in reality eight centimeters deep. But as soon as we make a mass measurement subsequent depth measurements are no longer consistently eight centimeters. Then we're no longer justified in talking about the coffee's depth as something that exists quote in reality. In quantum mechanics observations are represented as operators. Two operators p hat and q hat commute. If p hat applied to q hat applied to the wave function equals q hat applied to p hat applied to the wave function. In other words if the order of making the observations doesn't matter. Conversely two operators are non commuting if the order does matter. It's convenient to define the commutator of two operators as the difference of these two orders of operation. And a zero commutator means the operators commute and a non zero commutator that they don't. In an appendix video we show that two operators that satisfy the uncertainty principle such as position and momentum have a commutator equal to the imaginary unit i times h bar. Now when we write delta x and delta p to represent the uncertainty and position and momentum we're being a bit imprecise about how we're defining uncertainty. A rigorous approach is to use the concept of a statistical standard deviation and in this case we can obtain the precise statement that the product of the standard deviations of position and momentum are rigorously greater than or equal to h bar over two which is h over four pi. Also in the appendix video we show that for the three components of an angular momentum operator j hat. The commutator of j hat x and j hat y equals i h bar j hat z and the other two similar relations shown. For the operator j hat squared representing the square of angular momentum magnitude we show that the only possible values we can measure are j times j plus one times h bar squared where j equals zero one half one three halves two and so on. That is a non negative integer zero one two etc as we saw for orbital angular momentum l or a positive half integer such as one half three halves and so on. The z component of angular momentum then has the form m sub j times h bar where the possible values of m sub j are minus j minus j plus one and so on up to j for a total of two j plus one possible values. This result will enable the development of the concept of quantum mechanical spin that we will cover in the next video.


thing to the desk in case anyone was concerned. Thank goodness. Graduates, as you come on, please turn on your camera so we see you. This is a blessing in music for our graduates. Good evening. Welcome to all who are joining us on Zoom and by livestream for this commissioning service. I am Janine Berchy Johnson, director of Campus Ministries of Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. Tonight, our graduates will be sent forth from here with a blessing for whatever lies ahead. We gather to pray for them and celebrate with them. I especially welcome family members and friends. We are glad you are here. To better focus on those being recognized, we encourage everyone in the Zoom meeting to disable their own video unless you are a graduate or you are speaking. And if you want to focus in even more, you can hide non-video participants. To do this, click the arrow, the up arrow beside the video camera icon, and choose Settings. Scroll down to hide non-video participants and remove the check mark. Also, please remain muted unless you're giving a blessing to one of the graduates. Please join me in prayer. God, our creator, redeemer, and sustainer, we gather to praise you and to celebrate the 2021 graduates of AMBS. May they know your gracious presence in their lives and your spirit empowering and guiding them. May your face shine upon them and upon all of us so that your ways may be known throughout the Earth. I'd like to share some interesting facts about the graduating class. This year's graduates are from seven countries, Argentina, Canada, Chile, Ethiopia, France, India, and the United States. Those from the US are from five states. Indiana has eight, Kansas two, Nebraska two, Ohio two, and Washington one. Nine of the graduates are members of Mennonite Church USA, one of Mennonite Church Canada, and five graduates are from Mennonite Churches in other countries. Three graduates are from the United Methodist or Wesleyan tradition, one from the Evangelical Free Church, and two from non-denominational churches. All of the Mennonite colleges in the United States are represented in this class with four grads who previously graduated from Goshen College, three from Bethel College in Kansas, and one each from Bluffton University, Eastern Mennonite University, and Heston College. In addition, one graduate previously graduated from Maserati Christos College, a Mennonite school in Ethiopia. This class had a wide range of undergraduate degrees. As college students, seven of them majored in religion, Bible, ministry, or peace and justice. Three of them majored in education, and six of them in other liberal arts areas, three majored in health-related fields, three in other sciences, and one in business administration. Three members of the graduating class had previous master's degrees, including one person, Prateek Bog, who already earned a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from AMBS before getting an MDiv. Eight of the graduates, Prateek Bog, Alex Feldman, Joshua Janssen, Denae King, Andy Oliver, Hank Unruh, and Michael Unruh, did at least part of their degree through our distance programs. And 11 of the graduates lived on campus for at least part of their studies, Marcus Acosta, Prateek Bog, Quinn Brunneke, Tyler Brinkman, Ndolk Degafu, Salome Haldeman, Ann Jacobs, Joshua Janssen, Hennach McConan, Louise Tapia, and Michael Unruh. At least eight of the graduates passed her to congregation while they were in seminary. Prateek Bog, Quinn Brunneke, Alex Feldman, Joshua Janssen, Amy Kratzer, Andrew Oliver, Matthew Troyer-Miller, and Hank Unruh. Three others worked for a Mennonite agency or institution while they were in seminary. Becky Helmuth for the Mennonite, Ann Jacobs for Mennonite Mission Network, and Michael Unruh for Camp Menesca and Bethel College. Two of this year's graduates have parents who also graduated from AMBS. Amy Kratzer's father, Ruben Chup, received a graduate certificate in 2010, and Kathy Stoner's father, John Stoner, received a BDiv in 1967, and a Master of Divinity in 1997. 13 of the class members have children with 31 and 1 half children between them. Ann Jacobs is the only grandparent I know about, and she has 15 grandchildren. Amy Kratzer gets the award for the longest time as a student, at least within this class, having done her studies over 16 years. And Quinn Brunneke gets the award for being most indecisive about starting seminary. He tells us that he flipped a coin multiple times, and it kept coming up heads. Thank goodness. This is a wonderful class, and we will miss all of you very much. It's now time for the heart of the commissioning service, the blessings of the graduates. Four graduates are not participating this evening. Dene King, Andy Oliver, Matthew Troyer Miller, and Amy Whitehead. The rest have each invited someone from the AMBS community to prepare a personal blessing for them. We will do this by alphabetical order, a first name. While I introduce each graduate, their video will be spotlighted. Then the spotlight will turn to the person doing their blessing. And this is just a reminder that if you are not one of the graduates, please turn off your camera so that it's easier to see the class. And you're welcome to use the chat to add your own words to the graduates. Those of you who are doing the blessings, please remember to turn both your camera and your microphone on when it's time for you to speak. And if you would do that when I name the student that you're doing the blessing for, that will lessen the lag time. So I'm going to introduce you to our next speaker. He's Alex Feldman of Lithopolis, Ohio. He's graduating with a master of divinity with a major impasse. He plans to continue serving as interim pastor of Lithopolis United Methodist Church, which is a congregation of the capital area, South district of the West Ohio conference of the United Methodist Church. Is Alex here? I don't see him. Then we will hold on to see if he arrives later. Amy Chup Kratzer. Is Amy here? There she is. Great. Indiana is graduating with a master of arts in Christian formation. She is concluding 18 years of service on the pastoral team of Sunnyside Mennonite Church in Elkhart and plans to teach music in Goshen Community Schools. Amy will be blessed by Rachel Miller Jacobs, Associate Professor of Congregational Formation. Amy, these words come from Jan Richardson, but they are also my words to you. This is entitled, A Blessing That Does Not End. From the moment it first laid eyes on you, this blessing loved you. This blessing knew you from the start. It cannot explain how it just knows that the first time it sat down beside you, it entered into a conversation that had already been going on forever. Believe this conversation has not stopped. Believe this love still lives. The love that crossed an impossible distance to reach you, to find you, to take your face into its hands and to bless you. Believe this does not end, that this gesture once enacted endures. Believe this love goes on, that it still takes your face into its hands, that it presses its forehead to yours, as it speaks to you in undying words, that it has never ceased to gather your heart into its heart. Believe this blessing abides. Believe it goes with you always. Believe it knows you still. Believe this love. Amy, this joy that you have, the world didn't give it. The world can't take it away. Anne Jacobs of South Bend, Indiana, will graduate in December with a Master of Divinity, with a major in Christian faith formation. She plans to continue in her role as a church relations resource and network associate with Mennonite Mission Network in Elkhart, Indiana, in collaboration with constituents across Mennonite Church USA. Anne will be blessed by Melinda Berry, associate professor of theology and ethics, and Rebecca Slough, academic dean emerita. Dear Anne, you have had a long, tiring, often frustrating and sometimes rewarding journey towards your master's degree at AMBS. You are my image of tenacity, always holding firm and not giving up. The apostle Paul writes that suffering produces tenacity, which produces character that leads to hope. And I'm going to be so bold as to add wisdom to Paul's list. Life has made you a woman of wisdom, seeing God in the midst of what is possible and what is not yet possible as you keep moving forward in hope. And my blessing for you draws from Proverbs 3, 13 to 18. May you be happy in the riches and honor of woman wisdom. May her blessing of understanding bring you peace. May you lay hold of her tree of life and be blessed in holding her fast for nothing that you desire can compare with wisdom. Along with these words of scripture, we also want to gift you with some words of poetry. And so I've selected a few stanzas from Maya Angelou's poem Continue, which she wrote for Oprah Winfrey. And so we give these and gift these words to you on this occasion in. Into a world which needed you, our wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are and how you are to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue in a society dark with cruelty to let the people hear the grandeur of God in the peals of your laughter. Continue to let your wisdom elevate the people to heights they had only imagined. Continue to put the mantle of your protection around the bodies of the young and the defenseless.  Continue to ignore no vision which comes to enlarge your range and increase your spirit. Continue to float happily in the sea of infinite wisdom which set aside riches for you before you had a name. Continue. And by doing so, you and your work will be able to continue eternally. Amen. Amen. Kathy Stoner of South Bend, Indiana is graduating with a Master of Divinity with a major in Christian Faith Formation. She is currently working as a recovery coach for Oakland Psychiatric Center in South Bend. Kathy will be blessed by Becky Helmuth, a fellow graduate. Hello, Kathy. You have brought a sincerity to the seminary, a straightforward, free-flowing way of always saying what you mean. And what you say is always intuitive, thoughtful, and to the heart of the matter. You're willing to put yourself out there to find answers to the pieces you suspect are just at your fingertips. You have a special way of seeing the world that always leaves me in awe. At the heart of your being, you're not just saying the words. You're living them. You're living God's shalom, looking for answers, questioning the powers, demanding justice. Keep being where you are. Keep doing what you do. And keep stepping out of step. May the mothering God who began this good work in you carry it through to completion, enabling you to use your talents to the fullest. May you continue to feel disquieted at easy answers, at half-baked ideas, and superficial relationships so that you will always live deep within your heart. May God bless you with the faith to believe that you can make a difference in the world. To continue to do the things that others tell you cannot be done. May God strengthen you with love, passion, hope, and determination that you continue to change this world for the better. Endalk Degafu of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is graduating with a Master of Arts in Christian Formation. He is discerning where God is leading him, whether it might be to a pastoral ministry position in the United States or Ethiopia, or to a mission or service assignment in a different place. Endalk will be blessed by Andy Brubaker-Katler, Associate Professor of Christian Formation and Culture. Endalk, I know a few people who model the Christian virtues of gentleness, patience, and care, really, all of the fruit of the spirit, as naturally as you. Since embarking on your cross-cultural journey from Ethiopia to northern Indiana, you have demonstrated determination to learn and grow, and an extremely generous curiosity to better understand sisters and brothers in Christ, whose practices and beliefs differ from your own. You have inspired us with the enthusiasm of a first-generation Christian and the wisdom of someone steeped in the tradition living out the best in each of these. I want to bless you with this passage from Galatians 5, 13 to 15. You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free, but do not use your freedom to indulge in the flesh, rather serve one another humbly in love, for the entire law is filled in keeping one commandment, love your neighbor as yourself. If you bite and devour each other, watch out, or you will be destroyed by each other. I leave you this text, not so much because you need it more than others, but because you live it better than many of us, and we need to keep hearing it from you and seeing it in you. And, Alk, may you receive neighborly love in the weeks, months, and years ahead as you have shared it with us at AMBS. Go in peace. Alex Feldman of Lefopoulos, Ohio, is graduating with a Master of Divinity with a major impastoral ministry. He plans to continue serving as Interim Pastor at Lefopoulos United Methodist Church. Alex will be blessed by Safwat Marzouk, Associate Professor of Old Testament. Alex, you have blessed us and inspired us with a consistent desire and commitment to integrate academic theological reflections and personal spiritual growth. Despite all the intensive labor of reading, reflecting, writing, serving the Church, being present for your family, your presence at AMBS has always been assuring, encouraging, and supportive to all those who got to know you at AMBS. I believe you're able to be this way because all of this is real for you and all of it is connected. All of these different pieces of life faith and ministry are grounded in your deep love for God and your genuine love for others around you. May God give you the resilience needed to build the Church centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ that seeks to embrace all without compromising God's mission of justice and reconciliation. May God give you the pastoral wisdom and the prophetic courage as you lead in the Church at a time of polarization in a way that helps people see the world through the eyes of the other.  Amen. Hennach Makonin of Nazareth or Amia Region, Ethiopia is graduating with a Master of Arts, Theology and Peace Studies. He looks forward to continuing to live in Elkhart and to work as AMBS's assistant for the Master of Arts, Theology and Global Anabaptism cohort program offered through our partnership at the Nazareth-Cristos Seminary. Hennach will be blessed by Rebecca Slau, Academic Dean Emerita. Dear Hennach, I consider it one of the most significant blessings in my life that I met you in Janus Political Theologies course in 2019 and then that we worked together in four online sections of LEAP. It has been a joy to watch you awaken to the possibility of teaching as a profession. The Christian educator Parker Palmer describes the grace and wonder of great things. Those subjects that are deep and wide, rich, worthy of our attention and of our respect and requiring the engaged sharing of many people. Examples of great things might be the mysteries of our own and other cultures. The opportunity for peace-building in the face of ethnic violence. The possibilities of using educational technology efficiently and responsibly. And discerning the calling of the church in this time, in whatever context we are. The joy of living and teaching comes from being curious about such great things and giving ourselves to the exploration of great things in a community of open-minded and big-hearted people. Hennach, you are a man interested in great things. And so I bless you for growing curiosity, for love and passion in serving others, for confidence in the knowledge and skills that you have and those that you are yet to gain, for humility, to embrace your limits and your heirs, and courage to say, I was wrong. And most of all, for trust in God, who holds all great things together in the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Amen. Henry Unruh of Newton, Kansas is graduating with a Master of Divinity with a major in Pastoral Ministry. He is pursuing a Pastoral Ministry assignment and is currently the Youth Pastor at First Menonite Church in Hillsborough, Kansas. Hank will be blessed by Andy Brubaker-Katler, Associate Professor of Christian Formation and Culture. Henry, I have come to know you as the Stealth Youth Pastor. You have a quiet and assuming presence and manner, but then all of a sudden, boom, you sneak up and surprise us with a wonderfully keen insight or a caring gesture.  I admire your steady resolve and deep commitment evident in both your ministry at First Menonite Church in Hillsborough and your studies here at AMDS. I bless you with this passage, a paraphrase from Isaiah 44, one to five.  Do not be afraid, for I will pour water for you when you are thirsty and water on the ground when it is dry.  Henry, in your humble unassuming way, may you continue to nurture faith and hope in all who call you pastor and friend. Amen. Joshua Janssen, originally of Aurora, Nebraska and currently residing in Altona, Manitoba, Canada, will graduate in December and master divinity with a major in Christian faith formation. He plans to continue in his current assignment as associate pastor of youth ministry at Berg-Taller Mennonite Church of Altona. Joshua will be blessed by Alan Rudy Fros, associate professor of Christian proclamation. Joshua, a word of blessing for you from Voices Together, 1058. I've made some small changes. The original writer is Ruth Fox. Joshua, may God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers and half truths and superficial relationships so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart. May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, exploitation of people so that you may work tirelessly for justice and freedom and peace. God will bless you with the gift of tears to shed with all who suffer from pain, rejection and starvation so that you may reach out to bring comfort and transform pain into joy. Josh, God will bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really can make a difference in your place and in your time so that you are able with God's grace to do what others claim cannot be done. Amen. Luis Tapia Rubio of Valparaiso Chili with a master divinity with a major in theological studies, history, theology and ethics. He plans to pursue a career in teaching. Luis will be blessed by Jamie Pitts, associate professor of Anabaptist studies. Luis, as you know, McLendon's ethics begins with the line theology means struggle. And during these past four years you have dedicated yourself to that struggle. You have read countless books and articles. You've written hundreds and hundreds of pages. You've wrestled in the murky depths with history with ethics and you grappled on windy heights with philosophical theology. You've repeatedly sought to escape theological quicksand and keep moving beyond the limitations, moral and intellectual of the present options toward a post liberalism, a post foundationalism, a post colonialism. McLendon also insisted that theology was a part of one's life that biography could be theology. And only God and your close friends know how your intellectual struggles in these years have been woven together with the joys and the pains of your life beyond reading and writing. But I sincerely hope that your journey in academic theology has been and will be what philosophy was for Wittgenstein. A means of working on oneself. The grammar of that phrase work on oneself could lead it to be confused with the narcissistic self-help psychologies of our day. But for Wittgenstein as for McLendon and as for you friendship and teaching and community are necessary parts of that work. And at least for McLendon and for you the work or the struggle of theology is a response to God's gracious invitation in Christ. May you struggle long. Let's explore a ministry assignment. Markos will be blessed by Professor of Old Testament. Markos you have shown me and your classmates and the AMBS community that the categories liberal and conservative are truly artificial. What you said in classrooms and what you wrote in forums and papers always that defies these categories. You are able to do that because your self-knowledge is always open to being transformed by authentic encounters with God and others. You have blessed our community with a creative balance of being grounded knowing what you think but at the same time you are flexible. Hungry to know more and to put that new knowledge into practice. May God give you the pin of a creative writer so that you may not only find your voice but so that your voice would give voice to those who do not always fit in the preconceived categories. May God give you the patience and the wisdom as you bring people who are different around the sacred word as they discern what the spirit is saying to the church and the world in these days. May God give you the joy of seeing people transformed by the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ drawing more and more people into God's ring. Amen. Meredith Caldwell of South Bend, Indiana is graduating with a master of divinity with a major in pastoral ministry. She plans to continue working as a radiographic technologist while pursuing a pastoral ministry assignment. Meredith will be blessed by Rebecca Slough academic dean emerita. Dear Meredith your time at AMBS trials and joy and you've persevered to the end. You're going to graduate with an MDiv kudos and now you're moving into a new season of life that promises to draw together who you have been what your life has taught you your passion your increasing trust in your own voice and your deep sense of call. You may remember that at the end of your senior interview I invited you to consider what scientists are learning about trees as a possible metaphor for your ministry. Trees are complex organisms who need a community of trees to flourish. They communicate with each other they protect and they care for one another. The roots go deep in the soil of nourishment connecting with other trees and grounding the tree deep in the earth. Trunks are the trees core muscles providing strength and flexibility and height supporting new growth and it is the nutritional lifeline for the whole tree. Limbs reach for the light stretching to connect with those of other trees and reaching to the height that each tree is meant to be and the leaves enhance the tree's beauty and also provide needed food for the entire system and when they die they nourish the soil as they are transformed into humus. Meredith, as you trust your own voice more and more I hope that the image of a tree in a community of trees inspires you to grow in courage, faith and delight in God like the trees planted by the streams bear good fruit and prosper in all that they do. Amen. Michael Anru is graduating with a master divinity with a major in Christian faith formation. He plans to continue serving as campus pastor at Buffalo College in North Newton, Kansas. Michael will be blessed by Andy Brubaker-Katler, associate professor of Christian formation and culture. Michael, you have grown in wisdom not just in knowledge and information but in frenesis practical wisdom. You have grown in your pastoral skills but most importantly you have grown in self-confidence that God has called you to be a leader in the church. I absolutely admire the dedication I witness in you to your wife, Lena and beautiful son whom you have with you and who is taking all of our attention and focus. And with all who have had the privilege to know you and work with you I admire your honesty and integrity. I admire how you model healthy masculinity listening first listening carefully maybe speaking if it is really helpful. These qualities and many others make you a wise choice for the new campus pastor at Buffalo College. My blessing for you comes from Romans 12, 3-6 If Paul meant it as an admonition I mean it as an affirmation. For by the grace given to me I say to you do not think of yourself more highly than God. But think of yourself with sober judgment for just as each of us has one body with many members so in Christ we form one body and each member belongs to the others. We have different gifts according to God's grace. Michael, thank you for sharing your gifts and your presence with us at AMBS for being a vital part of this community here in New York. I would like to thank you for being a part of this initiative. May you continue to be a vital part of your family and the faith communities in Newtons, Kansas to which you relate. May God bless you. I would like to pursue a PhD or a doctorate ministry in the near future. He is currently in a volunteer pastor at an Asian church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and hopes to continue to work in the church as a lead pastor. Prateek will be blessed by Cheryl Zaire, Executive Assistant for the Church Leadership Center. Prateek, I offer these words adapted from Father Michael Graham to you, Shabnam and Shanice as you continue in your ministry in the spaces and places that will call you. Prateek, may God who began this good work in you continue to enable you to use your talents to the fullest. May God give you the grace to make wise choices and to be faithful to your commitments always confident in the support of those who love you. May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships so that you will live deep within your heart.  May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain rejection starvation and war so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and help them in their pain. May God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done. May your integrity be a gift to the world and may the spirit of God be with you always. Much love to you from myself and the AMBS community. Dr. Wayne Indiana is graduating with a Master Divinity with a major in Theological Studies, History, Theology and Ethics. He plans to continue serving as co-pastor at Prairie Street Mennonite Church in Elkhart. Quinn will be blessed by Jamie Pitts, Associate Professor of Anabaptist Studies. Soon after your arrival at Seminary Quinn, I left for a sabbatical and although I had known that you had lived for a time before Seminary in southern Mexico, I did not know that you had worked with my friend Fernando Sandoval who affectionately referred to you as El Compa Quinn. And though I've never called you that to your face, I confess that over these years, every time I think of you, I think of El Compa Quinn, El Compa, Compañero, companion, one to share bread with. Quinn, you've given your life to share bread with Jesus and with all those with whom he sits down to table. Your gospel commitment to intercultural giving and receiving has led you to ministry in Chiapas, south Texas and now south central Elkhart. You have given much to us at AMBS and I hope that you have received much as well. As you finish your studies, I pray that you will continue to grow in companionship with God and all God's creatures that you will continue to be El Compa Quinn. Rebecca Helmuth of Goshen, Indiana is graduating with a master of divinity with a major in Christian faith formation. In 2020, she ended nearly 16 years of working with the Mennonite magazine. She is looking forward to pursuing a pastoral ministry assignment. Becky will be blessed by Melinda Berry, associate professor of theology and ethics. Becky, it has been a joy to be your advisor and professor. The common experiences of being Midwestern middle-aged Mennonite women has given our conversations together special depth and meaning for which I am so grateful.  One of God's household staff who listen attentively to the soil and the wind, curiously wonder who tended this land before my forebears left their indigenous lands and carefully seek the restoration of relationships of all kinds. So to bless you for the work you have brought to completion, the work you are doing and the work that is waiting to meet you, I have some elemental words and images to bless you with from the ancient community of Celtic Christians. Deep peace of the running wave to you, Becky. Of water flowing, rising and falling, sometimes advancing, sometimes receding. May the stream of your life flow unimpeded. Deep peace of the running wave to you.  Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you, Becky. The earth, herself unmoving, harbors the movements and facilitates the lives of 10,000 creatures while resting contented, stable, tranquil. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.  Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Salome Haldemen of Strasbourg, France is graduating with a Master of Arts Theology and Peace studies. Salome will return to France soon and is exploring pastoral ministry and peace ministry options. She will be blessed by Jana Hunter Bowman, associate professor of peace studies and Christian social ethics. Salome, it's been such a joy and privilege to be your professor and your co-worker these years. I so appreciate your thoughtfulness, your deep concern for issues that matter to us both. Your consistency and fresh insight to us and as you work in the peace studies department. I appreciate your commitment to following through to get things done from internship placements to backyard bonfires during the pandemic that help us as peace study students and committee members and professors stay in touch in relationship. I appreciate your questions on belonging and the way that you pursue them in your academic work and in conversations that weave rich relationships and integrate knowing, being and doing. You do that. My blessing for you as you go forward is to claim the questions that are given to you. Claim the discoveries along the way as you ask your questions. Claim the knowledge and the skills that you acquire as you are pursuing the questions that are yours. My blessing is that you know your deep belonging to the communities that you have knit together and the rich communities embodied intellectual and processes into which you are knit through time and space. And my blessing is that you claim your voice and the power that emerged from this journey because they're yours. I'm going to be the first person to respond to the call on your life which I've had the privilege of seeing these years. This is sacred ground you're walking and it's been a joy and honor to walk some paces with you. I and I know that others in the AMBS community too, speaking for all of us when I say we can't wait to see where this journey takes you. Tyler Brinkman of Elkhart, Indiana is graduating with a master of theology and ethics. He plans to explore a career in which he can continue his research, writing and possibly teaching. Tyler will be blessed by Andy Brubaker-Caitler, associate professor of Christian formation and culture. Tyler, you are one of the most fascinatingly quirky and enigmatic individuals that I know. You have drawn me into some worlds that I'm pretty sure I would not have gone into on my own. The world of progressive yet stubborn Wesleyanism, the world of Charlie Kaufman movies and the world of men wearing tights, not while they are running or cycling. This has been a few years here at AMBS characterized by disruption and clarity in identity in your growing family and in thinking about your faith family and church associations. I want to quote for you here something from Charlie Kaufman in Sinecta Key, New York that I think describes both this disruption and this clarity. Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true.  And yet, Tyler may you find something to make you feel connected, something to make you feel whole and something to make you feel loved. My blessing for you comes from 2 Timothy 4, 1-5. In the presence of God and Jesus Christ who will judge the living and the dead in view of Christ's appearing and the kingdom I give you this charge. Preach the word. Be prepared in season and out of season. Correct, rebuke and encourage always with great patience and care. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine but will gather around those who preach words they want to hear. But keep your head in all situations doing the work of the evangelist. And Tyler may you continue with the evangelism of Holy mischief that we have come to know and appreciate about you. Disrupting our easy binaries and directing us to God's vast inclusive kingdom. Amen. At this point I want to make sure all of the graduates have their screen on. Andrew straight assistant professor of New Testament will read a commissioning for the whole class. Graduates I invite you to hold up your hands to receive this blessing. Graduates you came to AMBS following God's call and trusting in God's presence.  Your uncertainty and confidence. Blessing and challenge. May God who has guided you in classroom and in conversation in grief and despair in laughter and in tears in worship and in prayer continue to bless you and keep you friends, families and faith communities we love you. We surround you and we uphold you as you leave here. We trust that God will continue to shine in your hearts and lead you into a future with hope. We send you forth in the love of God with our prayers and blessing. We pray that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion. We pray that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best so that you produce the harvest of righteousness and justness that comes through Jesus Christ. Amen. Thank you all for joining us tonight. On Zoom please turn on your cameras for the benediction all of us and then following the benediction I will give instructions for how to greet the graduates. Receive this benediction from Voices Together 1069 Christ be within us to keep us beside us to guard before us to lead behind us to protect beneath us to support above us to bless. Amen.


Hello everyone. Myself Aursang Esmi, Assistant Professor, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Watson Institute of Technology, Sulapur. Today we are going to see the under-regulated power supply design steps. Learning outcome. At the end of this session, students will be able to describe steps to design under-regulated DC power supply and design DC power supply as per output requirements. These are the contents of my presentation. Students should pause video here and recall what is significance of filter circuit with rectifier circuit. One of the output of rectifier circuit is in terms of sinusoidal pulses. It contains both AC component and DC component. So output of simple rectifier is not pure DC signal. It contains ripple. So filter circuit is connected at the output of rectifier circuit to filter out unwanted ripple contents so that we get pure DC output from rectifier circuit. Now this is a block diagram for typical DC power supply. It consists of transformer, diode rectifier circuit, filter circuit and load resistance. A transformer may be a simple transformer or transformer with center tap secondly. A transformer is used to provide required AC voltage at the input of rectifier circuit. Output of rectifier circuit is given to filter circuit. Rectifier circuit converts given AC voltage signal to DC voltage signal and filter circuit is used to filter out unwanted AC components from output of rectifier circuit and provides a ripple free DC voltage to the load resistance. Now let us take one of the examples of power supply design. Let us design power supply using flow rectifier and LC filter circuit to supply DC voltage of 20 volt at 200 milliampere with maximum ripple content of 1 percent. The design steps are the first step, decide overall circuit diagram for required DC power supply. Then second step, selection of filter components and load resistor and third step, selection of transformer. Step number four is selection of diodes and step number five, selection of leader resistor RB. Now let us go for the first step. The first step, let us decide overall circuit diagram for required unregulated DC power supply. The circuit diagram consists of a transformer with center tap secondary or two diodes, diode D1 and D2. So, it is a flow rectifier with center tap secondary transformer inductance L that is connected in series with load resistance and the capacitor C it is connected in parallel to load resistor. Register RB is a leader resistor connected to parallel to capacitor and load resistor. So, it is a power supply using flow rectifier with LC filter with the leader resistor RB connected in parallel to load resistor. The transformer provides a required AC voltage at the input of rectifier circuit as per the requirement of output DC voltage and DC current. Now let us go for the second step. Second step is selection of leader components and load resistor. So, let us decide the values for load resistance RL, inductance L and capacitor C. Output VDC is given by IDC into RL. So, load resistance RL is equal to VDC upon IDC. So, output voltage DC voltage required is 20 volt and output DC current is 200 mA. So, the required value of load resistance it comes by calculation 100 ohm. So, select load resistor RL of 100 ohm with 5 Watt power rating. For flow rectifier with LC filter the ripple factor is given by 1 upon 6 root 2 omega square LC where omega stands for 2 pi f where f stands for frequency of input AC voltage signal. For 1 percent ripple factor calculate the product of L and C using the relation RF equal to 1 upon 6 root 2 omega square LC. So, this comes product of inductance and capacitance is equal to 119.40 into 10 raise to minus 6. Now to maintain continuous current through the circuit and the current flowing in the circuit never becomes 0. So, find some critical value of inductance. The inductance to be used in filter circuits it should not be too large or too small. If inductance is too large the size of inductor increases and the cost of inductor also increases but the ripple factor decreases. At the same time if you decrease value of inductance the size of inductor decreases and cost also decreases but ripple contents increases. So, to select the minimum value of inductance in LC filter circuit so that the current flowing in the circuit is continuous and flows only in one direction and it never becomes 0. So, find out a critical value of inductance LC that is the minimum value of inductance that should be connected in LC filter circuit so that circuit current never becomes 0 and it will not flow in reverse direction. So, critical value of inductance LC is given by RL upon 3 omega. So, for RL equal to 100 ohm a calculate value of critical value of inductance by calculation it comes 0.106 Henry. Generally value of L is selected 10 times of LC so select inductor L of 1 Henry. Then assuming L equal to 1 Henry then find out the value of capacitors C. The product of L and C is given by 119.40 into 10 raise to minus 6 so using value of L equal to 1 Henry the required value of capacitor C it comes 119.40 into 10 raise to minus 6 parade. So, the value of capacitor that should be used in LC filter circuit it should not be too large and it should not be too small. If value of C is large the size of capacitor increases the cost is also increases. So, if value of C is large that increases initial surge current flowing through diode and if value of C is small it increases ripple content. So, capacitor select nearest standard value of capacitor C like 100 microparade. Step number 3 selection of transformer. Select a proper transformer with required secondary voltage to obtain required DC output voltage of a 20 volt at 200 milliampere. So calculate secondary voltage transformer secondary voltage so we are using a transformer with center depth secondary so half secondary winding voltage Vs in RMS is given by Vm upon root 2. Consider voltage drop across conducting diode also for silicon diode assume diode voltage drop is equal to 0.7 volts. So, required secondary voltage from transformer is equal to Vm upon root 2 plus diode voltage drop 0.7 volts. So, to find Vm consider DC output voltage equation for full rectifier with LC filter. So, output Vdc is given by 2 Vm by pi minus Idc into Rs plus Rf plus Rc where Rs is transformer resistance Rf is diode forward resistance and Rc is inductor DC resistance. Generally inductor DC resistance Rc is much larger than Rs plus Rf. So, neglecting Rs and Rf assume value of Rc equal to 10 ohm. So, for required output DC voltage of 20 volt value of Vm it comes 34.55 volts therefore required secondary voltage is 25 volts. So, select transformer with center depth secondary whose primary voltage is 230 volt and secondary voltage is 24.024 volt at 200 mA. Step number 4 selection of diodes select diode with PI rating 2 Vm that is 68 volts average current rating of diode IDC by 2 plus 25 percent of IDC by 2 it comes to 125 mA and P current rating I am equal to Vm upon Rl so it is 340 mA select diode 1n 4002 selection of blader resistor. So, to maintain good voltage regulation under output open circuit condition to limit initial cells current of capacitor blader resist is connected in parallel to capacitor. So, critical value of inductance Lc is greater than Rl upon 3 omega if Rl is disconnected output open circuit condition L is equal to Lc then L should be greater than or equal to Rb upon 3 omega. So, Rb should be less than or equal to 942 L if L is equal to 1 henry then Rb is equal to 942 ohm. These are the references thank you.


Learning analytical models from noisy data remains challenging and depends essentially on the noise level. The authors analyze the transition of the model learning problem from a low-noise phase to a phase where noise is too high for the underlying model to be learned by any method, an estimate upper-bounds for the transition noise. This article was authored by Oscar Fajardo Fontiveros, Ignacy Ricott, Harry Adelos Rios and others.


I just want to apologize to my whole team. I just called them. I thought they were slipping like a bad transmission on the icy road. So I called my team up, and I said, I just looked in the ticket link, man, ain't no goddamn VIP tickets up. What is y'all doing, y'all slipping? And they said, gilly, the VIP ticket sold out in three minutes. Oh, I'm sorry, y'all. I apologize to my team.  You know? I didn't know I was going to go on the Web site, you know, 10 minutes after the tickets was going to be gone. I didn't do that. But get your tickets down. G Herbo's the first artist I'm announcing. I'm announcing an artist every day this month. Right.


Hi everyone, Joe for jasmiescasebreaks.com coming at you with some soccer 2016-17 Panini select soccer One box random country break number one chance to chase a poll sick Ronaldo messy so on and so forth 16 spots everyone gets two countries one spot gets you two countries from this list below right here Only numbered cards relics autograph and inserts will ship will also ship Polls sick Christiane Ronaldo and Leonel Messi base cards Those are the only guys that'll that where their base will ship there's the checklist right there link is in the chat Big thanks to these folks for getting to the action Let's double this list up right here And let's roll it randomize it four and a five nine times for each list one two three and a ninth and final time after nine we got Caleb down to John Thanks you guys for getting in appreciate it four and a five nine times for the countries one and Ninth and final time. Good luck. We've got the United States on top polisix Down to Wales maybe some Gareth Bale autographs perhaps All right Caleb with the United States John with Columbia Ryan Gomez with Portugal Robert with Russia John with Poland Caleb with the Cote d'Ivoire John with Hungary Ireland for Caleb Argentina for John Brazil for John England the three Lions for John or for Caleb That is John has Germany Italy Spain Northern Ireland Ukraine a Belgium and Turkey Caleb with Slovenia Roger Eastwood with Austria Caleb with France Eastwood with Croatia Uruguay for Rob W Caleb with Iceland Rob with Mexico Caleb with Sweden Rob with Montenegro John with Romania Netherlands and Chile Ryan with Bosnia Herzegovina and John with Wales Get all that on the one screen. Let's sort by alphabetically by country Now feel free to trade if you'd like trade at your own risk and while you're considering trades Let's pop open this fresh case another one box break is up Also technically if you buy all the spots in this break It's a personal box right there. We'll ship everything. Thanks Thomas. I'm saying it the right way All right, so you can see all the 12 boxes up there on top We're gonna go any meat now. Let's remember the boxes. Oh, but they're on the bottom. It's kind of a hassle Here here's what we'll do you can see on the top camera The top row one two from left to right one two three four five six and the bottom row seven eight nine ten eleven twelve and Here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go back to random.org Right here and let's generate a number between one and twelve and that's the box. We'll do box nine So I said one two three four five six seven eight and nine So it's gonna be that box right there So we'll slide this over there Thomas did you call it before I did generated it? He called nine so this is the box we're gonna do any trades No, no trades All right. Well, let's print. Let's rip Next one box break in the store TWC trade window closed There's the final printer out here one box random country RC number one on a Friday. Thanks for hanging with us on a Friday folks we had a lot of a International action today. I feel like there was like a UEFA Nations Cup Cup matches. I don't know if they're super critical, but I guess they might have They might have something to do with with World ranks Anything crazy happen? No, we're all these chalk or any of these any big players still playing no Italy and Bosnia, maybe yeah, Eden Zech over the goal Italy and Bosnia With a draw 1-1 draw Austria beat Norway 2-1 Holland scored a goal That's a big name in the hobby actually the Norwegian Who plays in the Bundesliga with an international goal today a Late equalizer from Israel to tie with Scotland the Scots must not be happy about that. I think that's it That's that's that's those are the Those are some of the score lines that jumped out at me All right, here's the one box break. Good luck So these are parallels that will certainly ship There's Dmitri Bayet for the blue 42 out of 199 Send those Cristiano Ronaldo's to the Portugal that will be for Ryan The bayet will go to France. I'll be for Caleb and Santicardola select swatches for Espana Espana that'll be for John with Spain 25 out of 199 on that one that Mateo Kovacic will ship of course Kind of hard to see the car. There's Antoine greetsman Andres Guardado There's Aaron Ramsey for Wales 50 out of 75 that'll be for John and there's Bobby Wood Skies the limit of course Darren Why wouldn't I break a mac that baseball tonight? Yeah, once that sells out will make it happen That'll be for the United States Caleb. That's what I do I'm in the business of unboxing things that sell out on jaspys case breaks calm Nothing else to sold out after this That could be the next break we do there's Cristiano Ronaldo right here. I think there there should be Some of these may have different variations or different levels. I select tends to have Bortical a Ryan Gomez with that one. All right, there's Guilfee Sigurdsson For Iceland that'll be for Caleb They had a really great run in the euros a couple euros back And we've got Thomas Muller and his teammate Mats Hummels two out of 75 Double team dual relic for Germany. That's gonna go to John John C with a lot of spots a lot of hits I don't know if I could say that name That's a difficult one for me and there's a die cut for Ireland Robbie Brady 128 out of 249 That'll be for Caleb In Ireland and we've got Kurt Kuma 43 out of 60 Nice emerging star signatures for the blue for France that is Caleb with that one there you go Caleb That's a great-looking car. What what club is he on right now? Is he on Chelsea? Yeah indeed. He is indeed. He is There you go Nice 43 out of 50 nice one for France there's Lucas Podolski and Abel Hernandez at the very end there you go That was a nice one-box break of select soccer. Obviously we've got some more in the store So check it out on jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm a big soccer family liver pool supporter And we've got the EPL season happening got some international soccer going on So they'll I'm sure there'll be a lot of Secondary market attention on some of this stuff. So give it a go jaspyscasebreaks.com. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next time


When a patient's needs are more than the base hospital is equipped to handle, U.S. Naval Hospital Rota turns to their Spanish counterparts, some of whom visited base for a tour and an award ceremony. We're primarily here for two reasons. Number one is to say thank you very much to our Spanish health care partners. Secondly is to ensure the future longevity of ongoing quality of health care delivery services for our active family members. Services that you offer to our patients are vital for both our mission. After the ceremony and a tour of the hospital, one guest was grateful for not only the opportunity to visit, but also a continued partnership. I appreciate very much this invitation from the U.S. Naval Hospital. It's a honor for us being a member of the network, and we are truly committed to achieve the quality standards required for your patients. From Naval Station Rota, I'm Petty Officer Christina Brewer.


there'll be some necessary um tweaking just because natural attrition guys leave you know they'll be the inevitable trades you know the different 40 man guys you've got to protect so you've got to maneuver different things um as far as have to I don't put a have to on anything we're trying to get better you know we're trying to we're trying to get to the top of the mountain and we've obviously you know since I've been here we've fallen short of that we've we've you know been a playoff team every year and and had varying degrees of of success but we're you're always searching for a more perfect roster and but there's all kind of factors that go into that whether it's payroll whether it's matching up with a team on a trade um whether it's you know where you're allowed to go with a certain free agent um there's so many factors that go into the bottom line is where we're all hard at work at trying to you know kind of form a more perfect roster and and you know hopefully we can make the right tweaks that does allow us to you know ultimately get over the hump and that's what we're working towards Ashman said at the GM meetings that he's not going to hold Correa's past against him in terms of looking at him as a player what what's your view on him as a free agent great player um you know I think he's obviously in the prime of his career or entering the prime of his career even um and and and part of what is a very special shortstop class I think he's a guy that that has really developed into a leader over these last several seasons with the Astros and you know he's he's going to be in high high demand for for good reason based on the play areas between the lines but I also think the the intangible things that he's that that you've seen him grow into over the years at least across the diamond so the history part is not a factor for you either no look anytime we're we're involved with a free agent a free agent with you know that's of you know large significance that's going to you know attract a lot of years and dollars and things like that you know we're all going to feel really good about it you know not only the player but but but us as an organization as well and it's so there's a lot that goes into that and and I think that's part of what goes on when you're you know I I guess talking to free agents or recruiting free agents is you want to really get to know who they are and what they are and and and and also what what who we are and what we're about so that's a process and and as much as as much a part of the process as ultimately settling on you know a contract there's no question that factors in because we do feel like you know obviously in Praza and Volpe that we have two future you know long-time impact big league players and and you know with Praza getting up to AAA you know he's he's knocking on the door obviously Anthony kind of rifled through a few or a couple different levels this year so you know we're obviously very excited about those players and and believe that they are you know real and and you know that that certainly always factors into any kind of decision ultimately the organization and cash make when when they're making a decision on trades or free agent acquisitions that's all part of the equation


How you doing girls colonel morning morning rainwater everywhere Chicken check check it on the chickens Cleaning up on the Wreckley bruce mud Rain destroyed this place Sloppy sloppy Joe's in here Here you go Here you go once you scratch around over there clean that up for me. We have got ourselves one very worn out our true target Hopefully by the time this video is done We're gonna take this right here, and we're gonna send it through a little piglet Welcome back to the channel guys. I don't know about you. Hopefully you have got yourself an animal already the season harvested Maybe you're eating some burgers on the weekends from your from your harvest love to hear that So I'm still tweaking out over deer, and I'm really excited. I've got some some recent deer opportunities set up And I'm I'm just I'm just tweaking out I got a new compound bow that I'm working on still setting it up haven't cited it in yet But this right here This is this is a bow that I got early spring I've been practicing with The all summer into the fall so I recently got a quiver for this bow, and I got some new arrows. I got the eastern Legacy the carbon legacies Obviously they're they're painted like wood or they have wraps on them for like for to look like wood But they're microdiameter to five millimeter and they are shooting Darts with these 150 grain Broadheads, I'll show you guys here in a second see this little pig down here this little 50 pounder We're gonna take a couple shots at this guy So this is about max distance right here where I've got a stand set up I'm gonna show you guys here later today. Hopefully these pigs are gonna come in But this is about max distance With this Recurve I feel better shooting out to like 20 and then I do with a primitive bow if we can do this We can do this right here guys We're gonna be all right. Now. These are these are actually some some gut shots But I Think we can do a little tracking and and find that pig pig files more far forward. You want to hit more right right by that front shoulder, but Elevation is good So here's why I'm hunting today, and this is why I'm excited every once in a while I'll see some pigs. They've mostly been coming in at night, but for the last couple days They've been coming in right at dark right in the evening, and they're they're utilizing this wallow. There's one Good-sized bore that's coming to it, and then every once in a while the whole group will come in So I'm hoping that tonight this bore is gonna come in. Maybe he'll bring the herd Okay, all it is gear prep time. We're getting ready to head out into the woods spent the afternoon tuning my compound Got it dialed. We got a hunt with that next week. I'm so pumped about So now we're just getting gear ready for the hunt tonight So we're gonna be saddle hunting and I don't want to hike with the saddle on so I'm gonna throw it in my pack And this is the broad head that we're gonna be using right here This is a hundred and fifty grain Iron will single bevel It's a left bevel edge to match the left rotating Feathers that I have on here the Fletchings It should be good to go after pulling back my compound 70 pound compound all day this 55 pound I actually doesn't feel that bad. It feels like a 40 pound. So a little training a little training feeling good Feels strong. Let's hike out in the woods and get up on our tree. The amount of deer traffic on this trail Is absurd. That's all from last night Guys unfortunately, we're just gonna have to completely Flooded right now flowin Creek.   Well, thanks for the warning. I guess And I ain't trying to I'm trying to mess with you boy You better not be here when I get back walking in the dark, dude Onward Unfortunately That is not the only creek we have to cross Just saw some bobcat prints right there. That's one cool thing about fresh rain. You get to see all the fresh prints I know these uh, these toenails of mine are gonna be barking When I get back from this hot if a water moxin doesn't sting me on the way back in the dark It's too late now. We're too far into it. We're not turning around much rain totally Underestimated the amount of rain that we've had Oh, yeah, no, no, it's oh gosh It's it's actually flowing now I can't believe this. Oh my god What do we have going right now? How we doing bow? Holden up. All right. I'm sweating perfusely perfusely My feet are absolutely soaked doors. It's always something There's so many that are just So humbling things. You can't even explain sometimes flow is it's got water yards from a creek that is flowing right now It's possible second It's gonna be a sketchy.  It sounds like arable sound. It sounds like like a snorting our webs Hopefully that's the worst thing we encounter almost walked on that guy Night to go boys. I'm just gonna let you crawl and on with your business Keep slithering Well, that was an interesting walk in the woods my friends That was sketchy just getting out of the tree stand in the dark being wet walking through little creeks and puddles um At one point I was I was just trying to stay dry stay on the Um dry side of the the bank and I slipped on the angled Just fell in you know just waste waste deep wet And normally I put my I walk in the woods with my red light on you know, which I suggest Stealthy animals don't seem to mind it Uh and tonight I walked with my broad beam white light on until I got to my doorstep There was just so many snakey looking things. I was just seeing oak leaves that just looked like copperheads and I'm stopping It wasn't and then finally ended up running into one I just knew I was or another water moxon something so all we saw tonight was snakes Um squirrels and crows. We're going to take a pause from the pig hunting And we are going to wait for it to dry out a little bit. Hopefully get a daytime Trail cam pic and then reconvene But tonight it was just demon sausages I've been flinging trad arrows and we've just had rain rain rain the last couple days Pigs are coming out just after the dark, you know just after that sun goes down And we finally have a cold front. I hope they come in earlier tonight I hope they come in and you know that that's six o'clock or something But it's going to get darker a little earlier tonight because of the overcast And I'm going to go to my compound. We're going to Rambo.  I just first big cold front. It's like 38 degrees outside Stuff's going to be moving and since I still haven't gotten anything out of a saddle to this day I wouldn't mind getting it getting it with a compound either He was just sitting there licking himself And I saw a mama back there too. I'm still here right now I saw a mama one of those I'm definitely seeing on camera. He's he's got nubs nubs I'm going to say 30 minutes you can still see I got my lighted pen on so I can see my pen but being honest to be walking back with with pigs I was just hoping to get one like right now The last second these things are tricking me. Mm beautiful morning in the 30s I ended up taking a bow shot last night guys It was dark It's not the one you're thinking of though Not up in that tree I got down on a tree. I walked back in the cold Finally got up here started raining and was drizzling I was ready to To get warm and go to bed So Stephanie had a delicious meal She left out for me. She knew I was coming back. So I ate me a nice warm meal and then I was getting ready for bed and Just kind of relaxing with Steph and I was actually falling asleep and She she wakes me up. She goes hey chickens anytime my wife says hey chickens when it's like 9 30 10 o'clock at night. I know that means An eight morning and they're crowing so I run downstairs in my underoos. I'm half asleep. I come out here I turn on the back porch light and I just see two Two eyes kind of bobbing back behind the little post Over there. So I went and grabbed my flashlight Luckily, I had all my my hunting stuff just there had my flashlight So I grabbed the flashlight and started looking and I see oh, it's a big bobcat I'm like, okay. Surely this bobcat is going to run off Does not just stands there. It's it's like size of me up. It's looking at me. I'm like, no, no, sir No, no, no, no When in there I grabbed the box like surely by the time I come out here Knock an arrow. This bobcat is going to be gone. I keep in mind I already had my night sight set up everything my my red light So everything was good to go This thing is bold bold enough where I'm I'm probably going to take a shot here because It's going to try to kill my chickens So as I start moving to get a shot around the fence over here It runs off into the woods and I figured it would probably stop and it did it ran like 15 20 yards and it stopped and I was already drawn back and I kind of took a guesstimate And I shot and I just hit his little whiskers. I mean it was just But then he took off into the woods And I thought that was it Colonel's a little upset because he walked outside this morning just like I did and he saw A dead bird on the ground. I'm gonna stay focused on it for too long, but We lost a bird And that uh That bird was not outside of the fence this morning So here's what what actually happened The birds I called that bird Einstein because it kind of had like a puffy Uh, it was it was a polish. So it had a puff on top of its head. His hair looked like Einstein But I could never get this bird to roost inside of the coop. I mean it was just crazy It would always roost on top and roost on something else it never wants to go inside of the coop And roost with the other chickens. So I said, okay, you know, I gotta set up a roost over here on the outside, which works great Most of the time Now when I came out the first time one of my new chickens I call peaches She was on the ground and she had feathers missing and she got bopped by that bobcat The bobcat stuck its hand in here and bopped that chicken But I saved her I got I got her I put her she was kind enough gentle enough where I put her back into the uh The big coop And she was fine. All right, I'm still trying to train Some of the new chickens to sleep inside of there where they know it's safe the Einstein She had she has no brain anymore She's uh, she she wanted to sleep right here as close to the fence as possible And the bobcat just it climbed up here and it uh, it reached its paws in there grabbed it And it wasn't able to take the whole body It just it just took her brain the bobcat was deterred when I came out here flung an arrow And I went back in there, you know, I told Stephanie what happened. She was like that bobcat's going to come back I was like, yeah, you're you're probably right. You're probably right And if it's going to get a chicken and it's going to be Einstein because she's roosting right next to the thing And I can't grab her. She's got a really short beak and she she just comes at me. She comes at me She freaks out. She's not very gentle. She's she just she's a freak out bobcat came back Sometime in the middle of the night guys in this video.
