I know someone's doing that right now and Yeah, don't do that. No cool man. No cool But I yell it was my dog after bark like when I make a video She doesn't bark all day and then when I decide to make a video she decides to bark I reckon he'll probably win this action. No, I'm sick with my main manager barry Parker Let's see what Zach Levine gets up to first dunk of this slam dunk contest Zach He can do that in a game He can do that in a real game most of these contestants probably all of them actually can do that in a real game Simple reverse dunk right there. Not too bad though. That's that's pretty nice. It's a nice clean dunk He gets a 40. I probably wouldn't get I wouldn't I wouldn't yeah, I can that's probably a 36 Aaron Gordon. He this guy has hops.  That was real nice. That was real good And also since I'm not controlling Jabari Parker hands off the controller. You guys can see me I'm not controlling him It's gonna be cool to see what he can do without me like making him do a 360 over a trampoline or Something like that. That was nice. I mean it was clean, but it's not that good This is actually not that bad. It's pretty nice. Actually, I'll I'll take that from Jabari That should get over a 40 at least a 41 and I reckon that's better than Zach Levine's jam What does he get 43? Whoo, that wasn't as good as Aaron Gordon's, but I'll take it. I want Jabari to win this I really like this guy. Amanda Moudier. This guy He's gonna be something good although he gets a lot of turnovers He I've got two friends to go for the Denver Nuggets So I get to watch a few of his games That was nice. That was I don't really know Okay, it wasn't that good. I What did he do I? Swear, did he do something with his other hand? It looked like he like touched the backboard or something Yeah, he touched the backboard and then threw it in. Yeah, that was that's quite nice actually That's probably like a 40 but um, yeah two of my friends go for the Denver Nuggets So I get to 43 Okay, whatever um so I've seen a few of his games and He he's actually really really good although he gets a lot of turnovers. He gets like I don't know. He gets like Eight, I swear to God. He gets like ten a game. He can get a triple double off turnovers if he wants Zach Levine second. I swear that was the exact. No, no, it wasn't that was like the exact same one is what Jabari did though Yeah That though this will get a 43 if it's what Jabari did Yeah, that is the exact same dunk as what Jabari Parker did.  Why does he have to copy someone in this my gem series? Why does he have to do that? Okay, Aaron Gordon next up next dunk previous was a 43 just like like three out of the four Whoo, this guy Aaron Gordon I reckon he might win this as I drop the controller. That was a nice dunk win mill To himself 39 for that. I I can that was probably better than Zach Levine's dunk, but whatever Let's sit back. Actually.  I gotta relax.  All right Jabari what can you do whoo through the legs? That was quite nice Jabari. That was actually pretty good I'll take that dunk from Jabari through the legs probably will get like a 38 for that, but Yeah, it was it was kind of nice that that camera angle. It's really really cool right there, and Did I drop something? 37 Good job, man Come on Jabari you got to win this. Oh, this is gonna be cool. This is gonna be cool Yeah, get just getting a player involved that makes it even better and then the pose I play That was quite nice That was actually pretty cool That was a nice dunk break there Good dunk 39 for that.  Let's come back and win this. Let's come back and win this Jabari What's that club in it's gonna do That was nice acts that was pretty good. I'll I'll give him a 40 for that. That wasn't too bad What? Yeah, that was pretty good. That was like a I Don't know He moved it from one hand to the other so that was kind of nice, but and he yeah It was kind of like a 180 as well.  That's pretty high. I didn't think he was gonna get that high. All right, Aaron Gordon Previous dunk school was a 39 which isn't very good, especially in this 2k Oh That was like Vince Carter Aaron Gordon can throw it down in this damn that was nice That was like Vince Carter puts his hand in the ring.  That was pretty nice right there. I'll give him that 47. Yeah, yeah He deserves a 47 if it especially if Zach Levine got like a 47 as well for the other dunk Jabari needs like a 50 to win this. No, I think he's probably already lost But let's see what he does Let's see what Jabari Parker pulls off right now I've already seen that done before I'm pretty sure so that's gonna be like a 42 maybe 39 or something Yeah, pretty sure somebody else already did that dunk and he got like a 40 or like a 39 or something. So yeah Unfortunately Jabari's lost this but yeah Not repping LA he got a 43. So yeah, I'm pretty sure Jabari lost this Unfortunately, but we'll see what the last uncle is a man who moody a see what he can do jump over a car Just do something sick throws it up to himself going and That was quite nice. The fact that he's smaller. It looks better, but he's not even that small. It's like six five He's a pretty tall point guard. He reminds me of like a young John wall Just cuz the turn the turnovers because John wall when he got into league He got so many turnovers and he got a 40 for that. That's yeah 40s 40s. All right, I guess Oh, it's a tie between Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon and Jabari in a man you moody I bought that means they're going into a final dunk off, right? What that just gives that live in the wind. Oh That's so mean that's so mean Aaron Gordon should have won this as well, man Aaron Gordon should have had this had this one as well. They should have had a dunk off All right, two K's got to fix this because that was that was some cheese just cuz Zach Levine I mean they just should have given it to Aaron Gordon just because Zach Levine won it last year Doesn't deserve to win it again. I like Zach Levine that he's he I don't know I don't think he fits the Minnesota though. I don't think he fits Minnesota now I don't think I'll play the all-star all-star game just because I've already played it before I want to actually take a look at the rosters. How can you take a look at the full rosters? Can you I don't think you can but I can look at the starting line-ups But I don't yeah, I don't think we actually have anyone. Yeah, how do you check the western east? I guess they're all-star participants. So from the east we've got wall Wade Mellow love lucavich George Butler Hofford Bosch power the soul. Yarn has already made it. Well George Hill Jeff Teague and from the west Kari Harden LeBron Davis Marcus cell Chris ball Kevin Durant Russell Westwood Clay Thompson Lillard Hayward Dwight Lamarcus. No Laker player Damn, we should have boogie in this Why don't we have boogie? I guarantee after the all-star break boogie's gonna come up right here.

What what is this? What is this 2k give boogie an all-star? Appearance again. Why has he been? Yeah, he surely he has all right Promise to increase minutes next year. Yeah, I mean I Want to use this Because then it goes up to an 89 And if I do this it might only go up by like one which will give him a 60 morale So I'll pump him up and give him an 89 But and Johnny O'Brien, I mean I Can get Matthew Del Hadover. Yeah, I'm just gonna take this trade right now. I Wanted it. I just want an Australian player. Some people don't like Matthew Del Hadover, but I want an Australian player, okay? You can hear my accent, you know, I'm from Australia I've got to get some Australian player on the team and he's not gonna get minutes It's just if you know a point guard gets injured or something. He might step in But he did lock down Steph Curry in the NBA finals last year Recent trade discussions you have with another team ended up in the press. What would you say about that? Simply business already done that before Do you know many do you know many trades I made? I already know what to do in that in that situation I'm cool karma collector.

Peace


Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today's session. Before we could start with our session, we can have a word of prayer. Can I request one of us to please lead us in prayer? Yes, please, Elijah. For the Master Jesus, we are most grateful to you this month to see that we thank you for the birth of life that is manifesting in all of us here. So that you pray, commit these moments into your home so called, you pray that your fellow spirits can maybe help us to understand and appreciate what the Lord has shared with us here in Jesus' mighty name.  Thank you, Elijah. A class is recorded. So today, we're going to study on two very interesting books. One is the, we're starting with the minor prophets before I could say, let me share the presentation with you so that we all can be on the same page. Yeah. So we are, we have completed the major prophets on the five books that is Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentation, Ezekiel and Daniel. And now we are moving to minor prophets. So from initially we see that we covered on the Torah that is the first five books, then we covered on the history books, and then we covered on the five wisdom poetry and the praise book, and we moved on to the books of the prophets. Now, in the books of the prophets, we completed the five major prophetic book. And now we are moving on to the two minor prophetic books. Okay. So when we, when we say about major prophet and minor prophet, what does it relate to? What does it relate to? Can anyone answer? What is the difference between the major prophets and the minor prophets? Are they very less in, you know, the calling or how is it? Why, why, why have they mentioned like these are the major prophets and they are the minor prophets? Anyone in the class? Anyone? That's okay. You can just answer. Like, what is your view?  Please can I share my view? Yes, yes, please. I think it is with the content of their books, as in the major prophets wrote more lengthy books than the minor prophets. The minor prophets probably wrote smaller books. Their books were not large in contents. That is my understanding. Yes. Elisha, well said. Thank you so much. You exactly said the right thing. Yes. The message in that book, you know, the message, it's not that less important or no, but the size, the content of the book. The major prophets as the content was much higher. They had many chapters in that book. Well, the minor prophets. Yes, the message is very equally important to the major prophets. But then it was not the content as much, not a much bigger as compared to the major prophets because the contents were less in these books. They have categorized them as the minor prophets, but not in the attribute wise or, you know, there was something called major prophets or minor in the scale or the way they ministered, no, not at all. The message is equally important. They all were in the same level ground. It's just on the content which has been recorded. They have categorized. Okay. So with that, we will move on to study the book of Hosea. Well, the book of Hosea is a prophetic book, and it has 14 chapters. And the author of this book is Hosea himself. And the very theme of this book we see is the unfaithfulness, the sin and forgiveness. And we also see the condemnation for unfaithfulness and there's prophecies relating to Christ and the latter days. And the major character in this book is, yes, God. Second would be Hosea and Goma, the couple in this book where God, you know, compares them to Israel and himself, okay, figuratively, and the three children. And then the kings of the Northern Kingdom. Well, Hosea, whose name means salvation and he ministered in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, also called as the author also calls the Northern Kingdom as a friend, or after its largest tribe, or some places you also mentioned it as Jacob. So the names called Hosea, Joshua and Jesus are all derived from the same Hebrew root word, which is the word Hosea means salvation. God's messenger Hosea offers a possibility of salvation is only the nation will turn from idolatry back to God. So the book of Hosea has 12, sorry, the minor prophets are the 12 books of these minor prophets and these 12 books are called, you know, they have an important message. They have a calling and they have an important message to share with us and that's the reason they have been included in the Old Testament. And the book of Hosea were written hundreds of years before Daniel and his address to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Well, the book describes the early years of the Israel became divided Kingdom with Jeroboam I second and running in the north and use the ruling in the south. And the names of Israel was Ephraim in those days and Samaria and also refers to the Northern Kingdom and Hosea sent a prophet around 750 to 700 BC. These are the time period that he lived in and when the apostasy of his people became manifest and God sent him to condemn the people's sin and call them back to true God, call them back to himself. And the Lord made Hosea's family into a living example of God's relationship to Israel. Well, in the book of Jeremiah, we see how God portrayed himself as, you know, a father carrying a heart for his children. We see the father's love demonstrated through Jeremiah's life where Jeremiah cried and wept looking at Israel, rebellion nature in them and he wept. So he is also known as the weeping prophet and, you know, we see the heart of father in the life of Jeremiah. Then when we studied the book of Isaiah, yes, he also, yes, he also spoke about the rebellion nature of Israel and we see how he gave a hope message of hope like the Messiah has messaged Messiah, Isaiah portrayed. But in the book of Ezekiel, we see how God made Ezekiel to enact every message that Ezekiel shared with the people of Israel, every prophecy. When he wants to share it, he shared it with an, he enacted it by tying his hand, tying his leg or shaving his beard and burning it them or breaking a clay pot. Many, many demonstration. We saw how he demonstrated. Okay. But then Hosea is something very different the way he prophesied to the people of Israel. Pastor, one second. Can you please, I think she's. Okay, okay. Did they join the call? Okay, just give me a minute, please. Were they able to join? Yeah, they are joining now. Okay. I guess most of them joined. Okay. So those who joined much later. We started the class with the introduction for the book of the minor prophets. Yes, they've joined. Rosalind has joined. Good. Good. Good. Okay. So those who joined much later, I'll just give you a brief intro. We were starting about the book of Hosea. We were talking about the starting of the minor profiting book and we're starting with Hosea. If time permits, we will also cover Joel. Well, Hosea is a very interesting book. Okay. He's the author of this book. And we covered about how God is carrying the heart for the people of Israel. And we studied a little bit briefly about the major prophets, like how Jeremiah shared the prophecy with people carrying the burden, like the Father's love. And later we saw Isaiah shared the prophecies, like the need of Messiah. He gave a word and he said the need of Messiah and he clearly prophesied about the coming of Messiah. And then when we read the book of Ezekiel, we saw the way how God demonstrated, made Ezekiel to demonstrate the prophecies, like, you know, tying himself, his hands, his legs, shaving off his beard. And the way he conveyed the message to Israel was very different in the way, like, you know, breaking the clay bar and saying like, this is how God is going to destroy you. This is how the wrath of God is going to come upon you. You know, many ways he demonstrated. Well, as we studied on these major prophetic books, we also moving to the minor prophets. And we see how God is asking Hosea to demonstrate his love for Israel and how he is sharing the message to them. Where in Hosea's life it is very different. God is asking Hosea to demonstrate in action. You know, he is going to demonstrate in action the love of God towards the people. And here in the very first chapter, as we study, we'll see that God is preparing Hosea. Though he is a man of God, he is a prophet, God is saying, listen, Hosea, you're going to demonstrate the love of God. You're going to demonstrate to myself the heart that I carry for the people of Israel. Now, Hosea, just like the other prophets, he is going through is, you know, he could feel, he could sense the heart of God. He has the burden for the people of Israel and even he's moved, he weeps, he cries, all that is there.  He finds it difficult, but then in obedience and submission, he does it. He does it. And later, when we read the story, you know, I will unveil it in the heart of Hosea, the heart of God for his people. Okay. And also we can see the metaphor, the comparative language of how God compares Israelites to Gomer. Okay. Well, the book got sent in to condemn the people sin and call them back to the true God. And the Lord made Hosea's family into a living example of God's relationship to Israel. And God commands Hosea to marry a prostitute named Gomer to make an example where Hosea represents a faithful God, while Gomer represents unfaithful Israel and adultery, which is equal to idolatry at the same time. And they have together in marriage relationship, they have three children.  Okay. And it is a symbolic meaning to it. Let me put that on the chat. For the chat, I'll just change the slide. This is how the book has been divided, the first 14 chapters. The first three talks about, you know, the personal life of Hosea, the agony of the unfaithful spouse. And later part it talks about the strategy, tragedy of an unfaithful people. In the first three chapters talks about, you know, the first three chapters talks about Hosea's marriage, his children and talks about the separation, and then back to the reunion. Well, later part we see the, it gives us a model message of Hosea remains true to his wife in spite of her identity. And God is declaring the sin of people and the character of God. And yeah, it goes on. And the very theme throughout is God's faithfulness, love towards his unfaithful people. And there are some key verses that we can look in. And yes, Christ in Hosea, the portrayal of Christ, the shadow of Christ in this book. One minute, somebody's come, let me admit it. Yeah. So we see that Christ been called out from hiding in Egypt as a child is pictured in Hosea's record of Israel's exodus from Egypt. And in Hosea's redemption of Gomer from the slave market, Christ is pictured, pictures as the loving faithful redeemer of sinful humanity. And with this, we will move on to the three children that was God blessed Hosea and Gomer with the first son. God gave him a name of Jezreel. It's also a name of a valley or a place in that the place where they lived in. It says it's a son God scatters a seed because people of Israel, they dependent more on the pagan country, which God and wanted them, but then they dependent to the political power of Egypt and Assyria. And because they dependent on that Assyrians eventually scattered Israel and God pictured the defeat, the valley of Jezreel. So God asked Hosea to name his son as Jezreel. And the second child, a daughter, we asked him to name him as Loh Ruhama, means not loved. God chose his name to show Israel no longer the love to the house of Israel. God would show love to Judah indeed. Judah, yeah. The southern kingdom was called as Judah. The northern kingdom was known as Israel or Samaria or it was also called as Ephraim or Jacob. There are many ways where the author is calling the northern kingdom of Israel. Well, so the third son he names as Loh Amin, a son, which means not my people. So these are the symbolic names which through which God will be illustrating. Okay, so we'll go back to the book of Hosea where it says, you know, Hosea lived in the northern kingdom of Israel, which sometimes, as I said, it's called in different names. And we are going back to the book of kings in the period of first kings, chapter 14 to 17. We see that Hosea was called to speak to the people of God to the Israelites on behalf of God, because during the reign of one of Israel's worst king, King Jeroboam II, the nation was descending into chaos, into disaster. And in that year, 722, the Assyrian Empire swooped in. They destroyed, they demolished Israel. And again, in the story, we see that in second kings, Hosea had seen all of this coming. The book of Hosea is a collection of the story of about 25 years of his preaching and writing. It's almost all the poetry in this book where the whole collection has been written in the three main sections of this book, or the two main sections of this book. Okay, so let's see. So the opening part tells us the story of Hosea as a broken marriage to a woman called Gomer and who commits adultery. And God asked him to get married to her. And then they had three children and things were not going very smooth in their life. Things were falling apart. And the important point here is God is telling Hosea that despite Gomer's unfaithfulness in her marriage life, he is going to find her, to pay off her debts.  You pay, God is asking Hosea to go bring a wife. Though she left and went and she has committed adultery with many men, but God is instructing Hosea, go and get back your wife, pay off their debts and lover as though she is not single. The important point here is that God is telling Hosea that despite what she is, lover. And God says of this, the broken, repaid marriage, all the brokenness in this marriage and God is giving a prophetic symbol. The story of God's relationship with Israel, no matter what, no matter how Israel is sinful, God's love will never change. Yes, sometimes God is upset, God gets angry, God's wrath comes upon people. God allows other kingdom to come destroy, conquer, take them into exile. All that is there. But then is angers for a moment. Angers for a moment, but the grace abounds more than God's wrath. And we see with abundance of His grace and abundance of His love, God is moving on the people of Israel. And yes, he's demonstrating that love through Hosea.  And we ask Him to be faithful. Even if in spite of her nature, in spite of Gomer's nature, God is asking Hosea, you be faithful. You be faithful to the covenant. I want you to keep that covenant. See, this is what God does with you and me, no matter we are unfaithful, no matter what shortcomings we are going through in our life or no matter what Israel did. We all know what Israel is going through at the season that they failed God. They ran after other gods. They were committing idolatry where Gomer is coming. The adultery is also compared to Israel's idolatry, worshipping other gods, perverting the nature. They have put the idols in the temple of God and started worshipping the gods of that place like the Baal or other Assyrians and the Egyptian gods. And they're not seeking God and all their nature but they're running behind the political power of people. And they're seeking them. So when God saw this nature in them that there's no first place given to God but then it's been given to Egypt and the pagan people. God's wrath is increased on these people and yes, he gives it to Assyrians to conquer Israel and Assyrians come, demolishes Israel and you know, they're completely and yes, and take them to exile. Then we see God's nature of, you know, trying to save his people and that's when he sends, he raises these prophets and he asks them to speak to the people of Israel that one day you will repent. One day you will again repent and come back to worship. God's OSIA says he places over them a new messianic king. He gives them a future. He gives them a hope about Christ. He says there's a messianic king will rise from the line of David will bring God's blessing so this opening, he opens the idea of a messianic king, a messiah. We are in need of messiah because we have rebelled not against the man but against God himself. So that's the reason we are going through the severe consequences but then when we repent from our sin, when we repent and God will have mercy upon us and here he's demonstrating in his life saying the covenant of love that he made with Gomorrah. Okay, no matter how many times she runs but then he will go and bring her back. He's clear all the depths. When we read the story that Gomorrah leaves and gets separated, she goes back into the prostitution and then she's been put in the slave market. Clear demonstration. Now she is at a price in the slave market but all she, nothing is hidden. They all look down upon her. People who enjoyed the pleasure with her now they're looking down upon her. They are pointing at her for the bad nature. She's been condemned. She's at the worst situation. She has no hope and she looks herself so much down. She's almost like given up on herself saying that everything is over. I've brought shame upon myself and nothing good can come for me. I'm destroyed. Everything is over in my life. At this stage there's an hope. We may come across that stage. Israel is at this stage. I mean in those days and then we can also relate to our self, to our situation. Sometimes we may condemn ourselves so much that there is no hope of forgiveness. We may think like even God cannot forgive us for the sin that we have committed and here God is saying there is nothing big that I cannot forgive you. There's nothing that is much greater than what Jesus has died on the cross can cover. And God shows his love that I'm a covenant maker and a covenant keeper. He sends Hosea to keep up the covenant of marriage with Gomer when she's in the slave market. God sends Hosea saying pay her debts, clear her debts and redeem her.  He carries her and he says, I love you just the way I loved you in the first time when I got married to you. When Gomer is not worthy to look at Hosea, she feels the shame is covered all over her. She says like I'm not worthy even to live. She is like that. But then you see the love of Hosea. We see that God poured out his love. He's just demonstrating an action. He loves her. He just carries her like that. He says you are as precious as the day I got married to you and I love you. We see the action been demonstrated saying that I love you with all my heart and I don't see you with any of the sin. I love you. I would like to embrace you just the way, just as if that you have never said before. We see the justification of God there and this is the way that God is embracing Israel. God is saying no matter how far you have gone, no matter what you have done. But God is saying, listen, when you repent, I will just love you. I just love you. So for them to repent, God is raising the prophets. Even that Israel is not ready to do on their own. God is sending his prophets and saying when they are in the exile, God is sending these prophets and telling them, listen, when you repent, there is a hope. There is a future. God will love you. God will save you. God will accept you.  Time and again, we see how God's love has been showcased.  He punishes his people. But then when we study in depth, you see God is not punishing the people of Israel. It's their own sin nature is opening doors for these type of consequences. Disobeying Torah, disobeying the law of God, worshipping the other gods, going away from God is nothing but you're moving away from the grace of God. It's the grace that protects us from the hand of the enemy. But then when we willingly, willingly move away from God, move away from his grace, that is when we had to face the consequence. And here God is saying that even though you have moved away, even though you have gone away, God is saying, I'm still waiting. We see the Father's love. Again, we see the later part of this book. We see the prodigal son. How the son rebelled against the father took away the portion of wealth for him. And he went. He destroyed and, you know, he was in complete trouble. And when he repented, when he looked at God, when he asked for forgiveness, the love was restored back to him. The relationship of father was restored back to him. Father hugged him with all his love. In fact, the father was waiting for the son. It's the same picture we see when we read through the book of Isaiah. Like he is demonstrating that God's love like a father is waiting to embrace us, to restore us back. To restore us back. And he loves us. Though we are unfaithful, though Israel was unfaithful, but here God is a faithful God. He's a covenant keeper. He loves us. So I feel the book of Isaiah is only the book of love. God's love been portrayed through Hosea. Today, we may look at ourselves. How are we seeing ourselves? Yes, we have our own weaknesses. But then God is saying, I love you. You may have broken the covenant. We may be living in sin or certain things that we're not pleasing God. But then God is saying, just like the way I asked Hosea to forgive Gomer and accept her and embrace her with love. Same way, God loves you and me. He is ready to forgive us our sins. Not only ready to forgive, but he's ready to restore us back. And restore us back to that love relationship that we had with him. The first love that even the book of Revelation talks about restoration of their first love. We can be restored back to him in full. And today we see that in Christ, we have been restored. Restored back to him in Christ. When we receive Jesus as a Lord and Savior, Jesus died on the cross for our sins. To forgive our sins. We are sanctified. We have been cleansed. We have been restored back to the relationship that we have in God. Where we can freely call God our Father. With all our heart, with all our love. We have this access that God is faithful to us. Despite our weakness, God has redeemed us back to him. And the relationship is restored back. And today when we live, we live in the identity of the daughter. Identity of God's daughter. His son. His son and his daughter. We are the child of God. And that's what the book of Hosea says. We have been restored back to the relationship that we have with Christ. So with this, we complete the book of Hosea. I open to the class if you would like to add or share anything. And we can move on to the next book. These are some of the highlights. This is a reflection of God's faithfulness towards us and times of our unfaithfulness. And our obedience to God. When he is asking us to do difficult things for the kingdom. Just like how God has Hosea to get married to two things. One to get married to a prophet was very difficult. And the second thing when she's in the slave market, even after marriage and after children separated and going back to the adultery.  Clear her debts and pick her and tell her, I love you. So these are very difficult things as a human to do. But then by God's grace, God is filled Hosea with the love of God to demonstrate that. And we see that nature of willingness, submission, obedience to God completely. Now as a servant of God, you and I, God can ask us also to do some things which may be difficult for us in a human nature, in our situation to do. But when we obey, when we obey, the scripture says there's blessing in obedience. Not in sacrifice, but in obedience. When I say sacrifice, not sacrificing some things, like not offering anything to God. Talking about, you know, the obedience being submission, submitting to God, to what he's saying us to do. And when we, sometimes it may be very silly things. It may be very difficult to our human understanding. But then when we submit, simply because God is asking us to do. Just like how God asked Hosea to do certain things. In the same way, it may be different things what God is asking us to do. It may be very simple, like it can be asking us simple sorry to somebody you may have hurt. Or maybe that person have hurt you, whatever the reason is. But God is asking you to go and ask an apology. And that is very difficult, not very easy. It comes, you know, asking sorry does not come easy. That's not in the human nature, but that's a God nature. When God's asking us to submit to restore the relationship, you know, for the sake of God, not for a human sake, for the sake of God. When you submit yourself there and say, listen, I'm very sorry. Not because they have committed mistake or you have committed mistake, just an obedience of God to restore the relationship. When we obey and go, I'm sorry, even if it is not our mistake and you see the blessing of God and you're like this restoration. It can be any area. I just gave you an example of sorry. It can be any area. God is asking us to step in and do something. And when we do it with all obedience, we see the blessing of God. The hand of God upon our life. Okay. Is there anything that you would like to share? Yes. Nothing faster. Okay. So yeah. So I will just move on to the next book. Yeah. The Book of Joy. The Hebrew name of Joel is Yahweh is God. And this name is appropriate to the theme of the book, which emphasizes on God's sovereign work in history. The course of nature and the nations are in his hand. And this book is dated 800 BC and it has three chapters. And the book has a theme, the day of the Lord. The day of the Lord. And there's a restoration ofs upon Judah and hope and restoration. When you repent, there is a hope of future restoration. Most of the prophets have written this. There is a hope. When you repent, there is a hope for restoration. And we see the major character in this book is, yes. First is God. Second, we see the author, Joel himself. And then the people of Judah. Now who's Judah? The southern kingdom. The author's background. Nothing much has been known about the author. But in the chapter, we see that his father's name was Pethio. He's the son of Pethio, meaning persuaded by God with his fervent references to Zion and the house of the Lord. We see that he was lived very close to Jerusalem because of the statements about the priesthood made in the book. We see that some of the scholars believe that Joel would have been a priest as well as a prophet. So in this case, Joel was a prophet and he was also preaching and asking people to repent so that you will be saved. So that your sins will be forgiven and you will be saved. Well, the very purpose of this book is the coming judgment, the plagues. It talks about the plagues of locus and then famine used as an object lesson to exhort the Israelites for the need of repentance. And we also see the warning. If you do not repent, the day of the Lord is coming. The judgment will come upon you. And again, we see there's a, and we also see that he's exerting, like when you repent, there's a days of blessing and there's a days of restoration. But if you don't, there's a judgment. But if you do, you'll inherit the blessing. Well, with this, we will move on to the introduction of this book of Joel. It says it is a short collection of the prophetic poems that are both powerful and it is also a warning. And Joel is a unique book among the prophets for few reason. First of all, they are no explicit indication of when this book was written. And it was likely to be known as in the period of Ezra and Nehemiah after the return from the exile because there's a mention of Jerusalem and the temple, but it's not very clear. And yeah, with that, we also see that there's a unique in this book of Joel is that the, the familiars with many other scriptural books, he includes the quotes from the book of the prophets like Isaiah, Amos, Zephaniah, Nahum, Obadiah, Ezekiel, Malachi. So he takes the quotes from all these books and even from the books of the Exodus. And there is a connection that the author is making with the, with the unique features of the place that is from the Exodus to now. And that's Joel. That's how he portrays and accuses Israel of any specific sin that they are committing. So like many of the other prophets, he announces God's judgment is coming to confront Israel's sin, but he never says why. And that's most likely because Joel assumes like, you know, we are reading this book with continuation of other prophets and we know the reason because Israel's rebellious nature, because he has been relating to the other prophets. So as when we, it is a continuation of other books. Now, and all together we put, there are three features that helps us to understand this book is that he immerses himself earlier to the biblical writing and with the reflection of them, he helps us to understand the sense of the tragedies of Israel, what they are going through. And these are also relating if they repent again and again, most of the prophets, this is what they say, looking at the rebellion nature of Israel is when you repent, there is a hope and there's a future. But if you stay in this, there's a judgment. There's a day of the Lord, he's talking about the day of the Lord, where the judgment will come upon them. So this is how it is. And we will move on to the chapter wise in chapter one and two, Joel mainly focuses on the day of the Lord, the judgment. This is a very key theme in the prophet, where it describes the events in the past when God appeared in a very powerful way to save his people, to confront evil and also about the plagues in the book of Exodus. But the prophet saw in these past events where, you know, how God, when people confronted the evil doing of people and when they repented, how they were saved and, you know, Joel is actually making, he is trying to get those reflection, reminding the people of Israel, listen, people rebelled and they were punished. But when they repented, God was merciful to save them. So today, when we repent, when we repent, when we come out of this idolatry, what they are and God will forgive and, you know, you will inherit the blessing of God. So this is what Joel is continuously telling the people. And Joel also is drawing a parallel line to the poems in focus on the theme. So in chapter one, he talks about the past days that is in the book of Exodus, how God brought the plagues, the disasters and the earth. Again, there's a plague of swan of locusts coming into the field and coming into the land. And here he says, God is sending this in judgment of people. So when we repent, he can save us. So Joel is calling all the elders and priests to lead the people in repentance and pray. And then Joel actually himself repents. He is putting himself in the people of Israel and he's saying, Lord, I don't know about others, but here I'm repenting for this. And, you know, he also represents himself as a priest.  And in chapter two, we see that alongside, you know, in the public, he also announces that there's another day of the Lord, except this time it's future not past. And he says the disasters coming on Jerusalem and he begins describing what seems like another way. So there's a second way of locusts that would come and that will come in the form of, you know, military and the cosmic imagery of the locusts becoming God's army.  Who can stand God's wrath? He's asking. Who can endure it? So once again, we see that Joel is warning, warning people to pray and repent. And he says how to repent.  Let your repentance come from within. What matters more is your heart condition. Is your heart attitude? Is that seeking God? Is that earnestly seeking God or just for a time moment just overcome this emotional situation and then go back to the same old thing? No. Joel is saying rend your heart. Let your heart be changed. Let your heart repent because God is pleased not at the outer nature, not at what you are speaking or saying how you dress, but then your heart condition. Is that truly seeking God? Is that truly repenting that you will never sin against God? You will never go behind other God's because our God is a zealous God, we need to seek Him with all our heart, all our heart, mind and soul.  God is more gracious and compassionate.  You see how the prophet is describing God again and again because in people's mind, people look at God as a God who punishes, but they are not able to understand. It's the sin which is causing the consequence of what they are going through. It is not God, the sin nature, that they own action against God as a consequence of whatever trouble they are going through. But then the prophet at the point of time and again the love of God is describing how much God loves you, that God is gracious and compassionate to accept you again, to embrace you with all his love. Again, there's a message of love in the book of Joel showing that God is gracious, God is compassionate. When we repent, when we repent, God is gracious to save us, to redeem us and there is a future of hope. And VCE is also quoting from the book of Exodus like how God forgave Israel. They made the golden calf and he reiterates many stories, many stories from the Torah to remind the people. That's the reason many of the prophets again, time and again they remind the story because yes, there's many generations who passed by. Now for us we are reading why so much repeat but then there are many generations who have come and gone, come and gone. There may be some of them who would have never heard about God, the miraculous things that he has done to save them. To save them and also to show that God is mindful of Israel. He don't want to give up on them and we are the people of God to put that word in the heart and mind of God. Sorry, heart and mind of Israelite. God raises prophets time and again. So it's not only then, it's even now. God raises leaders. God raises pastors, all the five fold ministry and not only that others also He puts this burden into our heart. Listen, you experience the love of God, how I forgive you as how I have redeemed you and I have restored the relationship with you. Now, will you speak for me? Now today God raised, we studied about Hosea and we are studying about Joel. Now God is looking at us. Yes, Hosea and Joel demonstrated my love to people. They were ready to share the good news. They were ready to share that God is compassionate and merciful. When we repent, we'll forgive and restore us back. Now they did. Now it's your time. Are you doing it? Are you ready to share this gospel that I've sent to my son? They were waiting for the Messiah but you and I have got Messiah. Jesus came into this world. He died on the cross for us. He restored us back. But are we sharing this news, this good news with others? Can we be that mouthpiece? We don't have to have this five-fold ministry of title saying I'm the prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist. No, God is asking if you believe in me. Can you share the good news with others? Can you share the God's love with others? The love with which I loved you. The love with which I have redeemed you as I restored you even though you would have broken, broke the covenant just like Gomer and you've been unfaithful like the Israelites, what Joel is saying. If you and I have done that and God has restored us back, what is the lesson that we can learn from these two books that we read today is God is calling us and God is also asking us a question. Will you demonstrate God's love to others? I'm a God of love. I'm a God of love. And I love you and I've restored you back just as if you have never said.  Now, will you be my mouthpiece? Will you go share the good news with others? Yes, Israel rebelled. Israel, the people of Israel never listened to any of the prophets. They were mocked. They were looked down. But in spite of that, they were people who listened to them. They were people who repented. They were people who turned to God. Let's leave that action to God. Let's leave that to God and let's do what God is asking us to do. Like how Osir submitted himself, he obeyed himself, surrendered himself to God and just obeyed. Okay, Lord, I will do what you're asking me to do. Just that we should not be very comfortable in the zone where we are. If you're getting comfortable, then there's something not right. Help us. We need to pray. Lord, help me to do what you wanted to do. Help me to go to the place where you wanted to go. Help me to share the good news to others what you wanted to me to speak. Help me to be a mouthpiece. And God, as he said to Isaiah, I'll put my words into your mouth and I will speak the same way.  God has never failed us. The God who promised Joshua that as I was with Moses, we'll be with him. The same God says, I will be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you.  God will say, will you carry this good news and share with others?  Because I have embraced you. I love you. And I will be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you. So with this, I will leave the class for open to class discussion for five minutes. If there's anything that you would like to share from the learning of these two books, please feel free, go ahead, share. We are running out of time. I would request one of us to, okay, if there's no question, then maybe we can, or you can share what you learned, what touched you, what has impacted you, in what way God has spoke to you personally, because every book has a personal connection with God. God speaks to us to our heart. The Spirit of the Lord was with us. He will awake at us with this word. Yes, Divya, please go ahead. Thank you, Pastor. It was really informative. Yeah, as you mentioned in the last, in the book of Hosea, how Hosea obeys, you know, surrenders completely. That's really amazing. It would have been really tough for him to do that. But yeah, it's, and to show that forgiveness. Yeah, that really touched my heart. And also in Joel, yeah, we always code those scriptures, right, which has been kind of fulfilled in acts, like I'll pour out my spirit. Pour out my spirit. On all flesh. And I believe that even these days, yeah, it's being fulfilled. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, yes. Thanks, thanks, Divya. That is a very important point. Yes. It was fulfilled in the day of Pentecost and also now that, you know, I'll pour out my spirit and everyone and the young ones will see visions and prophesy. Yes. It is very important. It has been fulfilled. Every prophecy has been fulfilled in and through us in our time as well. Anyone else would like to add on to what Divya said. Anything that we have not covered because in one hour, we cannot cover. But still, I would recommend each of us to go through these books. Read so that we can understand better. Brother Isaac, Brother Elisha, John, please go ahead. Just share if you would like to. Okay. We will end this session with the word of prayer. Can I request John to lead us in prayer, please? I mean, Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. the voice of the Holy Spirit and be sensitive to what you're trying to teach as a God and help us to reflect this to the people around us, Master. We give you praise, you're also a certain person, diamond, your hands. Thank you for enabling her to share your word to us. We pray, O God, that this week would be fruitful to us and help us to be more rooted and grounded in your word and your love. Yes, Lord. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' precious name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, John. Thank you. See you all tomorrow. God bless. Have a blessed day. Ma'am, I have a question. Yes, Aradha. You gave a final assignment of Holy Testimony. One second, please. I'll stop there for a minute.


I've been masturbating by squeezing my thighs together since I was very young and even today it is the only way that I can orgasm. Only problem now is that I cannot orgasm with my partner. I cannot even begin to orgasm if my legs are open. Don't get me wrong, I do love this but I have two questions. Is this normal and will I ever be able to get pleasure with a partner? Yes, it is absolutely normal.  It's an instinct. Basically, when you squeeze your thighs together it puts pressure on the clitoris and that automatically produces pleasure. So young girls will start doing this even before they consciously become aware of their own pleasure and it is so satisfying that most women will continue to do this for the rest of their lives. And now for the second part of your question about whether you can get pleasure with your legs open. Yes, it can be done but you have to teach your body how. Think about it this way. If you have been getting pleasure for years by squeezing your thighs together you can't suddenly change that to experiencing pleasure with your legs wide open because your body just doesn't know how to respond to that. So you have to teach your body. So for instance, if you're trying other masturbation techniques then try something where you can open your legs just a little bit more each time. Just if you're with a partner then you need to try positions where your legs will remain closed but not squeezed together like maybe if you're lying on your side or something. It's just about getting the body used to something different a little bit at a time but the most important thing to remember is that it won't happen overnight. You have to spend time changing this. It's like you have to renegotiate new forms of pleasure with your own body but if you really want to you can definitely do it.


Time to take a look at what happened today in history. Today is the 24th of January, right back with more ahead on the breakfast.


As a first step, we are now going to look at the technology evolution that take that took place across a wide range of basic physical networks. Let's start with fixed broadband internet access technologies. In this module, we are first going to appreciate how the technology evolution take took place from being basic service provider to the internet IP based service providers. And then we'd see what were the driving forces or we can call them the drivers that led to the realization of NGN as the convergence. First, we look at the technology evolution. Initially, the PSTNs were all about voice. They were analog networks. Then we saw the exchange to be digitized and then we slowly also saw the digital local loop right till the customer premises. The residential internet was created as a consequent need of internet and it was thought that the twisted pairs with some additional hardware could provide that internet connectivity to the home subscribers in addition to the voice. So in the customer premises DSL modems were installed and in the exchange the DSLAMs were installed. So through this additional hardware, we saw the technology moving from pure voice to voice plus data that is the internet. Then we also saw the cable TV network to be purely analog then digital and then through the docs architecture that came from the packet from the cable labs to provide internet. Now using this cable technology for internet has resulted into the widespread use of the underground coaxial cable that was only being used for providing the cable TV services that is the broadcast television and radio. Then from the old days of microwave point to point links, we saw that using fixed wireless on Wi-Fi point to point internet was provided through wireless to the remote areas. So we see that in fixed environments, we have the DSL, the cable TV and the Wi-Fi point to point. All these have resulted into one fundamental phenomenon that is an immense competition. So the traditional telecom providers which were meant to provide voice as a service, they really felt under a great deal of pressure. Why? Because the mobile networks started to offer internet as in 2.5G, 3G and more and of course the cable TV network is already there which is providing internet through the cable modems. It means that with this competition there is now a requirement to rehash and reconsider what additional modifications should be done to these networks so that they are able to stay viable in the market. The resulting drivers specifically for fixed broadband internet, we can summarize them as number one, internet itself because when everything starts moving to IP, it means that now there is no comeback. Once things move to IP, it means that the IP is going to be now the common underlying protocol for all these services regardless of which basic access technology they belong to. So it means when everything is going to be IP compliant, this is going to be the key factor in NGN. Then another thing that has also contributed significantly to the evolution of NGN is the availability of broadband both for residential subscribers as well as for corporate users. Initially the broadband was considered to be 128Kbps, 24-7 availability but now it is easily available at the rates of 10Mbps or more both for residential users as well as for corporate customers. Now this is the current change and the contribution from the fixed broadband internet technologies.


Hey guys, welcome to Snowbreak Containment Zone and we have here a complete build guide plus a recommendation on who to pair with Katya both if you're preferring with an offensive support or a defensive support. So first and foremost we go to her standard skill which is Death Traverser. So this one if you're not familiar with, so Katya is going to give a stance when she is doing that stance, she shoots like a machine gun but there are certain add ons to the skill and also penalties to the skill. So it's called guidance 3 form, in this form Katya cannot move, obtain 15% of all type resistance which was added as a buff recently and tactical dodges will make her exit the form. Also in guidance 3 form Katya cannot restore S energy and also additionally consumes 0.5 energy when S energy runs out, Katya exits the form as well. And also in guidance 3 form Katya is not affected by changes to rate of fire and she gains increased anti interruption ability however during this period she shoots her shots have decreased final damage, destructible object damage and U energy gain. So again there are certain restrictions but you can obviously maneuver around these restrictions once you build up her kit. So in guidance 3 form this is the last one Katya's rate of fire varies based on crossbow mode so normal mode is roughly one single crossbow bolt and for the other mode which is special mode is fixed at a 4 round per second using Death Traverser again will make Katya exit guidance 3 form early after which the cooldown for death traverser starts again. Okay so these are the kind of limitations so final damage in guidance 3 form decreases to 48% of original value so from 100 to 48 damage dealt to destructible objects decrease to 50% from 100 and U energy decreases to 25% of the original value. So take note if you upgrade these so tactical dodge immediately resets at death traverser's cooldown when equipped with a frost weapon and not in guidance 3 shot hits restores to S energy only one recovery per shot. So take note of that this recovers her standard skill faster. Moving on to the next we have here support skill so support skill is basically a frost damage skill and also inflicts frozen as well for 3 seconds so frost damage and frozen for 3 seconds. If you were able to open her neural skills explosive order can all be used in uncontrollable state dispel the state. The explosion range of Brumelbolt is going to be increased by 50%. So this is a fine support skill to have of course and the last one would over scale is going to be eloquent arrow this is her ultimate skill so you can choose either to stay in after she does it or switch out after she does her ultimate by prefer to do the stay in so shoots towards the sky raining down on Guileful Barrage of tracking bolts of the target inflicting one instance of frost damage every 0.4 seconds. This one is a very nice AoE control skill to have so damage instead of cooldown of Guileful Barrage decreases to 0.2 and AoE increases by 50% each hit by the Guileful Barrage's increased targets moving speed by 10% for 3 seconds upon hitting 10 times additionally inflicts frozen effect for 3 seconds so it's going to increase your you know the frozen effect that you have already which is going to be okay where is the frozen effect here okay so this is the frozen effect so once you hit it when they're hit 10 consecutive times with the Barrage then they're gonna be frozen for 3 seconds so that is it very nice AoE control skill to have especially if you are you know if you are facing a lot of mobs especially on the new game mode that we have so we have the last this is her passive so they was alignment legacy cunning for each of God's shots has a 35% chance to gain aptitude shots shots additionally deal 35% of attack of Kacha plus 200 as frost damage increasing by an additional 7% of attack for each hundred alignment index so right now I have five so that that's a plus 35% not five 500 alignment index so this adds to her attack as well so for her weapon guys this is Alpine Gentian this is available in the store the limited store so this one is very very respectable you don't really need at this point if you're saving your currency for the next poll you don't really need to pull for the unique weapon but we'll go to that later this one gives you a stack damage on the ballistic damage of the operative so up to 50 stacks of 0.6% so that increases the damage significantly not significantly but it gradually increases as you go up to the 50 stacks for let's go to the recommended weapon which is her you know her special weapon Neptune Nova so again this one is the same it has buffs for frost damage and attack buffs but this one also increases s energy or standard skill energy recovery so this is not present in the previous one so this is decent as well you may get this but again if you're strapped for currency for summoning the the the four star is actually good as well I kid you not I've been using the four star and I'm happy with it this one eventually down the line if you could get another crack at her banner probably we could get this if you don't have enough to summon for her special weapon so that is it for the weapons so again this one is available in the limited shop this is a very good weapon to have we don't have much crossbows yet but we will have more in the future okay so that is it for the weapon so for her logistics it's going to be the one also available in the limited shop so we have Eli squad Eli squad is technically built for her it's technically built for crossbows by the way so two officers increase attack by 20 for three officers when equipping operative shot hits but it does not crit obviously cross crossbows does not crit gain cyclone fisher increase frost damage by 3% for three seconds max 20 stacks so another increase in frost damage so this is going to be up to 60% for three seconds stacks at 20 each hit removes one it's crit hit removes one stack so again you don't have to worry about this because obviously your crossbow doesn't stack so this is the best logistic for her at this point I couldn't think of any more to have because again she doesn't her weapon is a crit so this is going to be perfect for the moment which is Eli squad okay so for her manifestation more or less I would advise that you get M1 because M1 is going to increase her rate of fire by 1% up to 25 stacks so roughly up to 25% the rest of the manifestations you can just farm these you can actually farm even M1 if you don't want to get another copy that's acceptable you can actually this is easier to farm eventually you will have to get this M5 this is one of the important things that she has so this is a plus 165 for her alignment index which from me from my point I am at 500 I can easily take her up to 700 or 800 for alignment index which is massive next up is going to be her neuronic so for neuronics the priority of course would be related to her standard skill so this is for her death traverser cluster tactical dodge immediately resets that's traverser death traverser cool down next is going to be this one so when equipped with a frost weapon and not in guidance reform shot hits restores to this is what we talked about then after you have prioritized the top level for standard skill go next to your your ultimate which is pertaining to her ultimate okay so the bottom part of the neuronics so again this the priorities based on if she will be your primary DPS it will be up to you if you're going to get her support as second priority but for me I'm recommending the top and the bottom as priority with the middle one as the last priority for your if you're gonna use her as a primary DPS okay so we'll start off with a healer which is going to be Chen Xing so Chen Xing as a healer has a lot of you know a lot of things to give aside from healing obviously let's go through her support skill here she also gives an increase in standard skill damage by 10% aside from her healing for her support skill and also if you can take a look at her weapon if you want really to gain a quicker amount of you energy then she has a passive which is increased which increases your you energy for the whole squad so that is what she gives healer plus other you know other she has some add-ons really so you can't go wrong with her the other one the other healer that I think you should consider would be Yao okay so Yao is definitely your strongest healer in the bunch if you want to go with pure heals and bigger heals then definitely Yao is going to be your what they call this your girl for healing so those are your two healers they are technically around your defensive supports another one is going to be let's go with a girl which I haven't used much which is Frisha Hush so Frisha Hush let's go with the details of her support skills or support skill is more or less gives you more toughness gives you more damage reduction okay so toughness overall that she doesn't shoot her you know her HP so quickly so this is going to give her a lot of toughness for her support but she also gives you an additional support for her weapon if you are actually equipping strawberry shortcake so when support skill is used deployed operative gains bonus attack equal to 17 points 17.6 because I haven't scaled this yet into 80 you know level 80 and there's a few copies for this gun but again my whole point is what you call Katya will be given additional attack bonus for 15 seconds so attack percentage for 15 seconds so that is what Frisha Hush gives her next up in the last four your defensive would be series okay so for series obviously she's gonna have give you shields it's too obvious at least you Katya we won't be so vulnerable if you want to shoot the lights out then series is your last for your defensive supports moving on to your offensive supports number one for me is actually life wild hunt because offensive not only on the offensive side but in terms of making sure that your enemies are frozen additional if you are happy with her ultimate with Katya's ultimate you will also be happy with this support skill if you are looking for additional free so this also buys you time especially if there are a lot of mobs heading your way definitely if you want to choose this type of support then go for wild hunt life okay next up is going to be Katya Kaguya obviously for a Katya Kaguya you have moon halo so decrease in all their type resistance by 24% this is one of I think still the top what they call this top debuffs in the game very all around and I couldn't you know complain with this debuff that she gives so next up is going to be one of the recent favorites that we have is shadow car mox here so offensive side she is mainly she mainly contributes to a lot of damage especially if it's a boss she will really really help you deal more damage and to scale that damage output because of her support skill vein squeezing bind so again if you're looking for your support for damage dealing for boss you go for mox here if you go for mob damage dealing and crowd control then go for life wild hunt the last one which is actually situational if you want to increase more of her ultimate energy recovery then go for test definitely she will also help you in hastening your ultimate skill energy recovery again don't use the multi-mode for arrows the multi-mode for arrows is not really that good it's actually in replacement for the reload button sometimes you might forget to click on that so please be aware that do not click on that do not use the multi-mode as frequent as possible use the single arrow or single crossbow bolt mode or the normal mode for her shots okay so again and also there's a fun factor involved in her okay guys let's do a small run here i'm gonna be bringing of course life for additional what do you call this additional support for crowd control and let's see how she does it so this is just a short stage guys so as you her her standard skill basically is also a what do you call this a dodge it also what do you call this the standard skill or sorry the dodge actually helps you go through you know if you remember the an opponent that gives you barriers you can actually go through that using her dodge skill so more or less it's going to be very very nice if you were able to you know use those skills in terms of going out of those bears so that is it a short demo of her skill i don't know if it's that that's enough but again guys she is a fun character to use decent tps above average definitely and also i think one of the operatives that you need to get at this point so thank you very much for staying this far take care stay safe this is the warden and i'm out of here


From the nominal rate i, we can calculate the effective annual interest rate under continuous compounding. What if we had our accumulation function a of t equal e to something and wanted to find the nominal rate? So we note that after one year, $1 would grow to e to power delta. Since this amount will be $1 plus the interest i on $1 we have, and we can solve this for delta and so we'd have delta equal log of 1 plus i. This value delta is known as the force of interest and the way to think about it is the force of interest delta is the effective rate you'd need to get a nominal rate of i compounded continuously. For example, let's find the force of interest delta that would produce a nominal rate of 5% annually and then let's interpret the results. But remember, don't memorize formulas, understand concepts. The force of interest delta is the effective rate you'd need to get a nominal rate of i compounded continuously. In other words, we want to find delta where our interest is e to power delta. So we know the interest rate will hit both sides with a log and we find delta is approximately, so what this means is that 5% annual interest compounded once per year gives the same yield as about 4.88% annual interest compounded continuously. So remember, the force of interest delta is the rate we'd need under continuous compounding to have effective rate i. Now if our accumulation function looks like 1 plus i to the t then delta is log 1 plus i. But what if a of t has some other form? Again, we'll need a little more calculus. So first of all, interest can be viewed as the rate of change of the amount, but this is just the derivative a prime of t. Now the interest rate is the ratio of this amount to the present amount a of t and so this means that the force of interest delta t at time t is this ratio a prime t divided by a of t. So let's find the force of interest at time t if a of t is e to the power delta t. So we find the derivative, we find the quotient and simplify, and we find the force of interest is delta which is what it should be. Because our accumulation function is what we would get if we had interest rate delta compounded continuously. What about simple interest? So simple interest at rate s has accumulation function a of t equal 1 plus s t. So our derivative will be, and so delta t will be, now notice that as t goes to infinity this force of interest tends to zero and one way we might look at this is that our force of interest gets weaker which reflects the reality that the effective rate does decrease over time. Or let's take an accumulation function like this, let's find the force of interest. So we could find the force of interest as a ratio between the derivative and the function, and differentiating we have, yeah, while we could find the derivative it would be painful and tedious. So let's see if we can simplify this problem. Recall that if f of x was a product or quotient of powers or roots you could simplify the problem of finding the derivative by hitting everything with a log. Suppose a of t is our accumulation function. The derivative of log of a of t will be, which is our force of interest. This gives a very useful result. Let a of t be our accumulation function, the force of interest is the derivative of the log of a of t. So returning to our problem we can find the derivative of log of a of t. So the derivative of log of a of t, well, we'll apply the chain rule, that's one over times the derivative of a of t, which isn't very helpful. The thing to remember here is that hitting something with a log only works if it actually breaks the thing apart. So let's try that again, we have the derivative of the log, but we can use our rules of logs to simplify. This is a product, so we can write it as a sum. We have a power, and we can remove the power to the front. And so now we have a much simpler expression to differentiate, and we find, given the accumulation function a of t, we can find the force of interest as the derivative of the log of the accumulation function, but if we treat the force of interest as a function itself, then given the force of interest we can find the accumulation function. So if our force of interest is the derivative of the log of the accumulation function, then integrating the fundamental theorem of calculus gives us, but remember that the accumulation function at zero is one, and the log of one is zero. And so this will just be the log of the accumulation function. And so the accumulation function itself will be e to the power of the integral. So suppose we want our force of interest to have this form, let's find the accumulation function and the effective interest rate during the first year. Remember the force of interest is the derivative of the log, and so the log will be the integral. So the accumulation function itself will be e raised to this power, which we can simplify. And we note that after t equals one year, a dollar will grow to two dollars forty. This gives an effective interest rate of one hundred forty percent.


So over the last few weeks, the news of coronavirus is kind of hard to escape. I've been asked by patients, by family members, by social media. And so in this video, I'm going to break it down as a physician on what the truth is, how concerned should we be and what type of things you should know. All right, guys, what is going on in log shape and MD journey? If you are new to this channel, I'm a first year internal medicine resident. And this video, I really wanted to talk about the outbreak, the hysteria that's caused by coronavirus. I wanted to give you guys an insight from a physician's standpoint of what this is, you know, if you're unfamiliar, how concerned we should be, what type of things you should know to help obviously protect yourself as well as your family. But to give you a little bit of a background, the current corona outbreak kind of started in late 2019, early 2020, with initial cases being reported in the city of Wuhan, China. Now, the important thing to remember is that the coronavirus itself, similar to influenza virus, has been around for quite some time in human history. And we've been testing people for several years on this. It's just that the current strain, which is now called COVID-19, because the outbreak started in 2019, is really what's causing the outbreaks and the epidemic that's been going on in the world. Now, after the initial cases of COVID-19, it's quickly and rapidly spread through areas of China, Asia, Europe, and now North and South America. And as the making of this video, there have been reported over 120,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 4,000 plus deaths related to the virus. Now that we talked about a little bit of the background of the epidemic, I want to talk more about kind of how this virus behaves and whether or not you should be concerned and what type of things you should be able to look at for. So the first thing we should talk about is how the coronavirus is spread in the first place. And actually, it's quite similar to the influenza virus is that it spreads through respiratory droplets. So that includes things like coughing and sneezing and then being in contact with somebody or something that they've touched through those respiratory droplets. So the next question that people often ask is, well, if you're exposed, you know, how quickly should you expect to see symptoms and have it resolve? That's a really good question. And when they've studied that, they found that within about four to five days, a medium amount of people are starting to experience some kind of symptoms with the upper epsilon kind of extremes being about 14 days. That's where the 14 day incubation period comes from, where you may be seeing government institutions doing this, as well as individuals self-quarantine themselves for 14 days to kind of help reduce the spread from person to person. And then obviously, the next question that people are going to ask is what symptoms should I be looking out for in myself and my family members and others that I'm interacting with, as well as patients that I may be taken care of? And unfortunately, like any viral infection, the symptoms are pretty nonspecific. So a lot of patients with coronavirus or COVID-19 will experience fever, which is very common fatigue, as well as a tricaw. But those kinds of symptoms can obviously be related to other kinds of illnesses. So it's just not a telltale sign. In fact, if you look at the infamous case of the coronavirus outbreak on the Diamond Princess cruise line, you can see that out of the crew members, as well as the guests on the ship, over 600 cases were confirmed through tests, but only about half of them were symptomatic in some form or fashion. That's pretty typical for the direction of coronavirus. So again, if you look at 120,000 cases confirmed, about 60 plus thousand patients have recovered in some form or fashion. There are patient populations that are at higher concern for complications from coronavirus. This includes people who are older, people who have weaker immune systems, such as individuals with cancer and getting certain treatments, such as chemotherapy, as well as people who are predisposed to getting respiratory illnesses. These are individuals who get really sick, who will require ICU level care and may require intubation for ventilatory support. And while it's important to remember, it's also important to understand that this kind of complication can arise from any type of viral or bacterial infection. So it's not just specifically related to coronavirus. In fact, when you look at the current mortality rate, which is right now 3.5 percent at the scale of billions is impacting a lot of people, both confirmed as well as fatalities. You can argue that the number is still a little higher than the true value. That's because there's individuals who haven't been tested for COVID-19, who are walking around either asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. So there's people around who are asymptomatic with either a history or with current coronavirus that may just not be reported. And if you look at areas such as the United States, where the CDC and the government institution is basically deciding who gets tested, who doesn't, based off of certain criterias, you could argue there's people that are walking around with COVID-19 that just simply won't already get tested. So mortality rates probably lower because the complications may not be as prevalent in those patients. So next I want to talk about kind of wrapping up this video on basically how we diagnose coronavirus, how we prevent it, how we treat it, as well as future directions that we're going into. So in terms of kind of how we diagnose it right now, especially in institutions in areas like the United States, it's kind of on a criteria to criteria, individual to individual basis. You have to meet a certain amount of criterias. And the majority of them being, have you been an exposure to somebody who has had coronavirus or have you been in an area that's possibly been endemic for the virus itself?  And if somebody was to test positive for coronavirus, the next step so we would take is to one make sure that their exposure to other people is limited since we know the virus can basically be incubated for about up to 14 days, but also symptomatic management. Currently, we don't have any treatment or vaccines that we can give somebody. So it's just making sure that we're controlling their fevers as far as the symptoms. And with the question of prevention always comes the question of do I need to buy more masks? My answer is no. If you're just walking around your community, the chances that the mask is going to protect you from limiting coronavirus is pretty low. If you are somebody, however, who is at a high likelihood of being exposed to somebody with coronavirus such as a health care worker and just being on a lookout for the symptoms such as a fever, a cough, which would just make you at least want to put a mask around those kinds of patients. But for a majority of the population doing things such as washing your hands as well as avoiding touching your face is probably going to do much more than a mask is going to be able to help with. And briefly to wrap up this video, I want to talk about things such as future directions, things such as forms of treatment like vaccines and kind of what to expect. In regards to vaccine, we have to understand that even those scientists and governments and companies are working at accelerated rate to get a vaccine to the public. It still takes some time for that to actually happen. So on the span of closer to a year than actually weeks to months. But in the meantime, isolations from large group interactions are going to be more and more a problem both on a local as well as a natural scale. In terms of future prediction, unfortunately, we're going to be a little bit and unknown. You're more than likely to see this impact your community if you haven't already. The thing is, is that because we're so well connected with the power of our cell phone, the power of social media that the hysteria, unfortunately, of coronavirus is probably going to outpace the actual growth of the virus. More and more people are going to be breaking out and taking traumatic steps. And then unfortunately it may cause more than a safe amount of concern that we should have for this virus. But that guys is basically my breakdown of the coronavirus outbreak. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it.

Earlier this month an interview between Nick Robinson and Boris Johnson got heated when in response to the Prime Minister's rambling and evasive answers, the today host told him to stop talking. There's no supply of young people in this country who frankly, at the moment, are thinking of becoming truck drivers. That is going to change and that's going to be a good thing. Stop talking. We are going to have questions and answers, not where you merely talk if you wouldn't mind. Now the question I now want to ask you is about it has long been Boris Johnson's strategy to avoid scrutiny by changing the subject or coming down with a sudden bout of verbal diarrhea. So I thought that was an effective technique by Nick Robinson to get him to answer the actual question. Not everyone was pleased though and that includes the new culture secretary Nadine Doris. She is overseeing negotiations over the future of the license fees. That's how the BBC gets its money. And according to the Sunday Times she has told allies that quote, Nick Robinson has cost the BBC a lot of money. A BBC insider has hit back telling the Times the following. This is a new secretary of state who perhaps hasn't realized that the constitutional independence of the BBC means that even at a time, in fact especially at a time when the license fee is being negotiated, it is not the job of party politicians to act like a judge on strictly giving marks for the quality of interviews. Ash, it's pretty worrying isn't it? We've got a culture secretary now that's threatening to cut funding to the BBC because of a tough interview. A tough interview for her prime minister. So I think what this speaks to is the institutional weakness of the BBC. It is hamstrung and being able to defend itself adequately. Because of that vulnerability around the negotiation of the license fee, the political power that governments of the day have in doing things like scrapping a free TV license for pensioners and also when it comes to charter renewal, you've seen marketization creep in as the BBC has a weaker negotiating position with each ongoing charter renewal. So that's why I think if you want to see a BBC which is able to stand up for itself, hold politicians feet to the fire and be truly constitutionally independent, you would have to establish it on a permanent statutory footing. And that is simply not something that's going to happen because each government of the day rather likes having a hobbled BBC which you can threaten and throw your weight around when they ask too many difficult questions. But within the BBC itself, I think that there is also a culture problem. There is a culture of deference of playing by the Westminster rules when it comes to interviewing politicians. So even when you do have a moment like Nick Robinson, I think still being perfectly courteous and polite, but being assertive and cutting through the bluster of Boris Johnson so that he, the interviewer can do his job properly, you don't have a tremendous amount of support coming from within the BBC itself. And I'll give you an example of this. Just on Sunday, yesterday morning, I was on Radio 4 Broadcasting House, and it was me, Tim Walker, Jeffrey Archer, and the host was Justin Rowlett. And this conversation came up. And every single person in this discussion in one way or another said, I think Nick Robinson went too far in saying Prime Minister, stop talking. What he should have done is, you know, very decorously, you know, try to say, now, if he wouldn't mind possibly waiting a moment, blah, blah, blah. And for me, what this revealed is a fundamental lack of understanding of what's going on with political communications at the moment. Boris Johnson really does follow in the tradition of somebody like Silvio Berlusconi or indeed some aspects of Donald Trump, where the job is not to communicate clearly to the public things that the public need to hear. It's about creating so much noise, just being essentially a white noise machine, able to befuddle and confuse the audience. You don't really know what you're listening to, muddy the waters, and that's how you get through the interview. So it's not really about serving the public's needs. It's about evading those needs in such a way, which means that you don't also drop a climb up. Now, when you're faced with a politician who has that as part of their core communication strategy, I think the only way, as an interviewer, you can get a grip on the thing is to be incredibly assertive. It is to say, Prime Minister, stop talking, I need to ask you a question, even have a little water pistol, you know, buy a son, give him a little square in the face if he's rambling on too long. Because otherwise, you're not going to be able to do your job. And by playing by these kind of old, very hands off, very kid loves rule, you're not ultimately going to be able to do your job, which is hold politicians to the two account in a public forum. I think this is basically the government throwing its weight around. We know the BBC is likely to be appointing a new political editor soon as Laura Koonsburg stands down. And of course, the whole point of that story in the Sunday Times is that the license fee is now being negotiated, which is literally where the BBC gets its money from. So this is dangling a Damoclesian sword over the public broadcaster to try and get them into line so that they... I mean, we often talk about BBC buyers, right? They're incredibly biased against Jeremy Corbyn because he wasn't an establishment politician. The Conservatives still don't think it is obsequious enough.
