All words spoken of the 12th Legion, and none inaccurate in their own way. Yet beneath their blood-soaked exterior, the world-eaters were still just that, a legion of the Astartes, and operated in many ways akin to their cousins throughout the crusade. Know then that this is a record of the tactics, structure, and operational disposition of the 12th Legion world-eaters. The organizational strictures of the 12th Legion did not originally deviate far from the Terran pattern laid down during the wars of unification. The Warhounds, as they were then known, that were let loose upon the fields of the great crusade, did so under the same operational titles that their cousins in the other legions held, albeit in one that was in reality more streamlined to fit the Legion's rapidly emerging character. Primacy was placed upon rapid infantry assaults and deployments above all else. Warhound companies would bring themselves to bear upon the enemy in close assault, preferring to split the foe upon the teeth of their blades than to take them apart with bolter fire. Formations were built around Astartes equipped for this, and counted within them a far greater number of line infantry squads, supported by both specialized assault units, such as jump-pack equipped troops, and dedicated heavy assault echelons of terminator squads. Fire support, such as it was, was mainly provided by fast-moving land-speeder grav-attack vehicles, as the Warhounds generally eschewed heavy weaponry for infantry, believing said Astartes to be of better use in the melee. This did not mean the Legion lacked the capability to engage in armored warfare or artillery bombardments, merely that they saw these as a means to a tactical end. In the case of the former, even 10th Legion Primarch Ferris Manus was known to have praised their armored assault on Aldebaran Septus, but it had been enacted with a speed and fury of a Legion striving to simply gut the enemy upon their blades. Every member of every Legion rank was expected to be able to fight the enemy face-to-face, and to the extent that even the Legion's artillery crews, vehicle pilots, and reconnaissance Legionnaires all carried serrated bayonets, cleavers, glady-eye, or indeed the weapon most favored by the Legion, the chain axe, a brutal tool, a brutal tool dating back to the techno-barbarian tribes of Age of Strife-Terra. Upon his assumption of command, Angron, having little in the way of proper military training, and through the circumstances of his return to the Imperial Fold, spent no time with his father, the Emperor, made little effort in the way of reforms, merely reinforcing existing structures through the application of higher standards. The 12th Legion's chain of command had ever been blunt, and with the Primarch at the helm, even more so. Angron, having been raised as a gladiator in the pits of New Syria, placed no value on the trappings of rank, and openly scorned what he saw as flowery titles and pointless accolades accorded to the commanders of other Legions. He himself refused to be referred to as Lord by those subordinate to him, often to the point of violence if such subjects insisted upon the title. Discipline and the enforcement of authority had been an issue with the Legion from its inception. It had been noted that, in general terms, a starty psychoconditioning undertaken throughout their surgical implantation procedures produces a soldier of highly attentive discipline, and that this effect had been exacerbated by the gene seed of certain Legions, notably the 13th Legion Ultramarines, 14th Legion Deathguard, and 17th Legion Word Bearers. Within the ranks of the 12th however, this was not the case. With the astartes of the rank and file, being in some cases as bellicose and hot-blooded with their own superiors as they would be with the enemy, tempers perpetually ran hot, and insults, both perceived and real, were met with direct violence far more often than not. While this did not extend to the levels of internal discord in strife seen in the early days of the 6th Legion, the 12th responded by enforcing harsh disciplinary standards from the top down. This had a market effect on how an astartes would rise through the ranks, as doing so could only be achieved through a mix of notable battlefield leadership and superior martial skill.  For violence was the only language the 12th ever spoke. If an astartes could not successfully beat down an infraction from a subordinate with his own fists, he did not deserve the rack. The 12th broke no weakness in its officers, a system that Angron only encouraged, believing warriors needed to constantly prove their metal, both on the battlefield and off. An officer that was not both respected and feared by those under his command was no officer at all. Personal combat had perennially been the most direct way the Legion resolved interpersonal differences, and this too their father stoked, with the only addition being that the new world eaters now fought these combats with live weapons. By the outbreak of the heresy, the Legion even had a tradition of allowing any astartes to challenge a superior to open combat for the right to that superior's title. Should he wish, a simple lying infantryman could challenge a company captain for his rank. Such fights were to the death, as any captain who would lose to a subordinate in the dueling cage was simply of no use to the Legion. This being said, such fights were also rare, and victories by those of the lower ranks rare are still, since, as it has been noted, only the most brutal and vicious fighters could ever hold rank in the 12th to begin with. The signature deviation from Astartes' norm, such as it was by the time the warhounds rechristened themselves into the world eaters, was the development and implantation of the Legion's cortical implants, colloquially and brutally dubbed the Butcher's Nails. A relic of the dark age of technology, an ill understood even by the scientists of New Syria who cultivated it and implanted their creation into all their gladiatorial warriors, the mechanical elements seconded to the 12th were ordered by the Primarch Angron to study the Nails, so unmovingly fused to his own brain for deployment amongst his sons. Early attempts failed dismally, with the mortality rates among neophytes being near total. Those that survived often did so barely cogent. The Nails were intended to amplify adrenaline production while simultaneously shutting down most pain receptors and severely dulling the subjects' perceptions of their own mortality and any danger they are under. Early implantees were often rendered senselessly berserk, the Nails overcompensating for Astartes' physiology and constantly flooding now broken minds with kill urges and adrenaline spikes. Despite protests from the Mechanicum, the studies moved ahead until a generally stable iteration of the device was produced and rolled out for mass implantation. On the battlefield, the Butcher's Nails proved to be a darkly effective tool in elevating a world eater's capacity for slaughter, with their already chemically enhanced battle state fused with the aggression boosting power of their new implants. Stability was not in any way possible, and Legion-wide use of the Nails came with a high cost. In some cases, Astartes would be rendered catatonic or simply dead from a malfunction of their implants whiting out their very brains. While in other cases, a Legionary may simply never be able to deescalate the device's output. The phrase Lost to the Nails became common amongst the 12th Legion as a means to describe the berserk fury that descended upon a warrior during combat, and there were many who simply did not come back. Such Astartes were still useful to the Legion, however, and these Kedire, a repurposed high gothic word for Butcher, were organized into rampager squads. Effectively uncontrollable, these Legionaries were kept under lock and chain between battles and loosed upon the foe in areas where control was not necessary and their slaughter could bring about the greatest reward. The world eaters were known for equipping such squads with often outlandish arrays of close combat weaponry of styles drawn from the most savage and bloody barbarian cultures they had encountered, including deathmatch arena blades from Angron's own time as a pitfighter. While the Primarch did not have a profound effect on the Legion from the strictest strategic sense, the psychological impact he was to have on his sons was extraordinarily profound. Every one of the Legion as Astartes are the sons of their fathers to a greater or lesser degree, for each is made from their own genetic template. The vast majority of the reunions of Primarch and Legion were a cause for celebration, not so for the twelfth. Their father was delivered to them in chains and proceeded to slaughter most of the Legion's upper command echelon until his rage had been calmed. As the years went on, his was an exacting and brutal command style, always on the verge of blind rage, headstrong and heedless of advice. He had resigned himself to death before they had even met and was living upon borrowed time as his butcher's nails continued to fray his own brain. The Legion both loved and hated him, often in equal measure. He embodied the warrior ethos of the old warhounds to a sizable degree, a fighter of pure and simple honor who placed no stock in anything save an individual's own strength. He was, conversely, distemperate, obstinate and wrathful, a conqueror, yes, but a reckless general heedless of the lives under his command and often to always incapable of seeing the broader picture. There was a shame to be felt, too, for Angran had come to the Legion a slave, the only one of his brothers who never unified a planet or a people under his rule. Anyone could see he was a tortured broken thing, but one that would never and could never ask for aid.  Angran gave the world eaters a real reason to revel in them, a savage messiah heralding the apotheosis of the most dangerous aspects of their own nature. They became what they were ever thought of as. They embodied the worst that all would tell of them, embracing the slaughtering barbarian as their true calling, for none would ever let them forget who they were, anyway. Various ritual affectations sprang from this tribalism. Cult scarification was common, notably through the practice of the triumph rope, where nastartes would carve a line on his flesh before the commencement of a battle. Should the day be taken, the line would heal as a normal scar, but should defeat be suffered, the warrior was expected, should he live, to rub the dirt of the battlefield on the wound, thereby creating a blackened section of tissue. The veterans of the Legion soon had winding lines of scar tissue, while it is said the Primarch had won continuous and unbroken triumph rope around his entire body. Such few honors that the 12th believed in were warrior marks of brotherhood, for these were intended to transcend rank and signify true individual worth. Their meaning was often quite poetic and rich with potent symbolism for those within the Legion. Red striations on the helm could be a private embellishment that resonated with the pain and torment of undergoing the psychosurgical cortex implantation of the butcher's nails, while red drops redolent of falling blood painted beneath the eye lenses denoted an nastartes' dedication to his own ritual scarification. Kill tally marks were highly common, and given the world eater's predilection for close quarter combat, commonly etched onto the armor's van braces, or to a legionary's weapon itself, while the rare crossed chain decoration accorded an individual's status of having killed a fellow world eater of higher rank in a personal duel. By the time of the Istvan 3 atrocity, the 12th Legion was not, as many would suspect, a broken and bloody thing. While undoubtedly fraying around its edges due to the ongoing devastation the nails and their descent into bloodshed was causing upon the Legion's psyche, it nevertheless represented an incredibly formidable force of arms. Alliances with the ember wolves of the Titan legio Audex and the Mechanicum of Serum ensured that, despite the wide berth many in the Imperium gave them, they were both well supported and well equipped. Continuous engagement in battle over the decades, along with the Legion's famously high casualty rate, made precise estimations of their operational strength incredibly difficult to gauge, although this humble chronicler, upon examining as many records as there is available to one, feels content with placing the number at approximately 150,000 astartes, towards the higher mid-tier of their contemporaries, thanks to a broad and relatively undiscerning intake procedure designed to help mitigate their often staggering combat losses. Around 75% of this strength was committed to the operation in the Istvan system, where they, and indeed so many of their fellows, would come to a dark and terrible reckoning with the beasts of their own worst natures. Until such a time, as you examine that particular record, however, Ave Imperator Gloria in Excelsis Terra.

Okay, good morning and welcome to this last session on the acts of fossils and the life ball We will begin with a word of prayer asked Rupa. Would you be able to lead us in prayer? Sherman yes Father we thank you. Bless your holy name this morning. God. Thank you for being with us in this journey of learning acts and seeing your Manifestation of your power and your glory and the way you're empowered your Servants to carry on the gospel Lord. We thank and praise you Thank you for bringing to us the life of Paul and Giving us the grace to learn so many Important lessons from his life and his missionaries journey slot. Thank you for father Ma'am Nancy Ma'am for being with her and empowering her to teach us Lord God be with us in this last class as we Meditate on your word learn from your word father open our hearts and minds to receive your word in the name of Jesus I bet thank you. Thank you sister So as we've been reading about the trial of Apostle Paul we note that he stood before two governors in Syria and One of them did not really make a decision He made a decision in the favor of the Jews Which is why he kept Paul implicit that we govern Felix and then he handed on the responsibility to festus Festus being More you could say righteous in terms of wanting to make a fast decision He did whatever he could to get a reason To you know take this case forward however Paul appealed go to Caesar and which is why Festus could not really make decision on this But he was ready to send all to However, he did need to produce at least a letter which had some content in it to describe You know the the condition and the prospects and Something about Paul and the reason why he is under custody And so what festus thought is he thought that he would have this case examined or at least heard out by King Agrippa and So King Agrippa and you know his Wife or person that he was living at that time So she comes in they have this entire ceremony with pomp and duty and Paul presents His defense Narrates his life story and what exactly happened and how he has Obedient to the call that God has given now beyond this we will see what exactly happens So instead of reading the entire narrative, you know, we could read the entire narrative but I thought for the lack of time in a sense and also the fact that the the chapter that proceeds is more of a Journey so it is quite alright, you know if we Skip all the minor details there But then I would like to show you a map which sort of captures The entire journey now as I told us earlier Paul was in Caesarea for two years and then he is sent across to Rome to go and Meet Caesar that is when you know, he makes his journey so festus sense him along with a centurion And it is likely that he traveled on Ship that took many other prisoners, you know On route to to a room and you know, wherever else they needed to go. So This was from acts from seven, you know, the entire chapter facts 27 is a Journey a ship money that we would be looking at so You see that Initially they proceed in favorable weather But then Paul Predicts that it think they're not going to turn out all that well for the crew which is traveling and Rightly, so they encounter a rough feather and they they end up, you know, trying to Maneuver the ship and so acts 27 is a description of This unfavorable weather and how they actually set sail amidst this kind of and Posing environment. So here's the map for us. And I really hope you are able to see it Is is it visible? Yes, ma'am. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you sister. So as we can see here I've tried to enlarge the image as much as possible Okay, so we are we said that you know In acts 21 when Paul was caught in Jerusalem, you know, the whole Conspiracy against him and the opposition arose and then for his safety via Antipatris, he was transported to Syria. He sat there for two years under the insistence of Felix and then of course Festus came and the appeal to go to Caesar and finally Paul is on his way to Rome. So here is the route which acts 27 covers He moves from Caesarea to Sidon And from there, you know around Cyprus He travels to Myra. So when we are saying he travels, he is still under the care of Centurion. Let's not forget that. So, you know, he's being taken as a person who is To be he he's under trial basically, so he has a people who are guarding him. So he goes to Myra From there.  It's an Alexandrian ship which they Bored and from there begin to move towards Rome as they move towards Rome see so far Everything seemed okay. It's kind of going the way they liked it. But here after Fair Heavens is where a storm affects the ship so Storms cause ship to lose control and want to see for two weeks. So a good 14 days They're on the ship. They are afraid and in fact, you know, as we read Paul Told us that Paul already predicted that this is not going to end in a good manner and there are 200 odd people on the ship Who are traveling and so in fear To 14 days people did not eat on the ship. So the situation was that bad, you know facing all these Tommy wins and you know, it acts 27 You could read the description of how they exactly tried to manoeuvre. So Why the situation was bad, you know again God Encounters Paul and he assures them that people are your that the life will not be lost You know on the ship. So that's again a prophetic assurance, which God gives Paul The way he has been doing to Paul earlier. Remember in Corinth He said there are the people who are whom I have in place just like you so there was an encouragement to again God spoke Paul and he said look I am with you. Don't be afraid. So God's reassurance to Paul Once again is that people are not going to lose their lives that this Though the ship will be wrecked people's lives are going to be saved. So When the soldiers, you know the soldiers they kind of They begin to panic. They have several prisoners with them I told you that there are many prisoners on this particular ship. So looking at the fact that this may Actually get destroyed You know at some point people start jumping off the ship Paul advances them and he tells them like Don't do that. You don't have to do that Just stay on the ship because none of the lives are going to be lost and so they listen to Paul and Somehow, you know, they the people who are doing this They are able to you say crash land right crash land in a sort of a safe way So the ship did not survive but the people survived. So land on this particular island as Malta So they end up being here for a long while and then read The fact that they they've they visited the the place of a leader of this town called Malta where They ministered, you know Paul minister to somebody who was sick. So what exactly happens on this island of Malta to? Incidents read one is This is at 28 so we'll eat that as soon as go on to this island they you know, they Make a fire just to host, you know, Paul and any other people who have just a crash landed from the ship And so they make this fire, but unfortunately, you know, there is a wiper that comes out of this This The stack of wood there and it Bites whites or things what do you say for snakes? So it Bites the ball and apparently on Whoever was bitten by snake Dying right so it's such a poisonous wiper Somehow you know Paul is able to shake it off shake off the wiper and nothing happens to him, right? When we see this incident, it's amazing for us, it's amazing But it's even more amazing for the people of Malta because they know what can transpire if a Wiper, you know touches you let alone does anything more that so they notice that nothing happened to Paul so initially they come in about Paul being a Guilty man, which is why even though in their understanding destiny had A Pin favorable destiny had smiled on Paul that though Storm really had to destroy Paul's life.  I'll just Yes That's how they are viewing it that this man has really got to be guilty for in their understanding the gods to get him a second time and so they would have Fearfully but They would have known in their minds that surely this man is going to die So they fearfully waited for this man to fall dead before their eyes But he didn't once he shook off the wiper Nothing happened to Paul, right? Absolutely nothing happened to Paul and so this Incident made them realize that Paul is probably a Very good man. He's a very noble man. He's a man who has incredible favor With God and wonder he escaped Poisonous wife, so you look at the Observation of people and the way people respond like public opinion We call it and we've seen this earlier as well in the life of Paul and Listera when Once people were saying, you know, you are the gods the big gods Hormis sensors, but eventually when they find that Paul and Barnabas are not You know, they don't want to Condone the kind of worship that's taking place in Listera Come up with all kinds of accusations and there is a mob uprising Against for Barnabas Listera So people and shift their opinions public opinion about us can change at any given point in time So we must not rely on that and even here in Malta when this whole vibe situation happened That is what happened but at God for Paul's In who he was in Christ and so he was not shaped by the Opinions of the people and so this was one incident that took place on the island of Malta and the other incident that place as I mentioned earlier, they went to the house of Publius or blouse. How do you want to pronounce this? But now so he was one of the leaders in that island and His father was big so when Paul went there he Buked the fever and the fever actually left this map and so again Paul was held high regard in this island of Malta So the beauty is that wherever Paul goes Wondered because of the Paul of God this life the other thing is that because of his own Passion to share the love of Christ his own passion to Demonstrate the power of the glory of God you find him doing work of the mystery Everywhere everywhere. So, you know crash being on the sea He is being a prophetic Minister guiding a ship which is going to wreck. How do you man over such a ship? He's hearing from God. He's guiding the people even after The whole ship incident on Malta. There is more ministry for Paul's praise Prisoner as a prisoner There was so much for Paul to actually do so that is how You know acts of 27 Ends and then you begin to see that's 28 that Paul eventually reaches Reaches the room and with there he comes under the charge of the Roman authorities and They say, okay, Paul, you know, we need you to Provide a defense. We've heard so much about you But we need to find out what the matter of this case is in fact, you know, I didn't mention to us earlier that Agrippa, you know, one of the things that Agrippa says after having heard Paul's defense is that This man could have been set free. Okay, this man could have been set free Had he not appealed to Caesar, so let me see if I can find that Worst for us so Paul's incense is Proved over and over again. Okay, so this acts 26 and was 32 where Agrippa mentioned these two fests said This man Might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar. So, you know, he's there. His essence was very clear however knowing that Paul Was called to serve the Lord and that people who were Against him. He had gone through so many things through his life in his life and He faced opposition and he faced Even natural challenges like saw the tempest that took place in acts 27 and his whole time in the island of Malta and many things But, you know, his struggle continued in Rome. So in acts 28 after the arrival of Paul in Rome, what we notice is They want to hear from Paul What really he wanted to say about this entire situation So in the meantime, what they do is they put him up in a particular place So this kind of imprisonment which he had in Rome the first imprisonment was a You could say something like a home imprisonment where there were soldiers Okay, there were soldiers and apparently the way the soldiers used to Watch a Paul was they were even tied to Paul. So, you know, there was one Pankov on Paul and the other was on the soul. So he was guarded in that fashion. He was under You know complete view of soldiers But they gave him freedom. So in this home imprisonment, they allowed anyone and everyone to actually visit Paul and they said, okay, anyone can visit you. Anyone can Come and meet you. You can do whatever you want just that Under our custody. So He read that he continued his ministry in Rome. Okay, Rome was one place that he wanted to visit a Long time ago, but he was not able to visit and he already knew that there was a beautiful thriving believing communication was in Rome and it was his heart's desire to actually meet them but this time around, you know, though Under unfortunate circumstances He made to Rome He had the freedom to minister to people. So in God's own way and in God's grace Paul again continued the work of the ministry in The beautiful thing that, you know, it speaks to me is the fact that Paul thought Okay, let me just Come to that Yeah, so verse 23 of Acts 28 Okay, if you're there, would I even want to be able to read Acts 28 and verse 23? So this is Paul under home imprisonment in Rome Either Abhishek or maybe Christopher, you're okay to read it One verse 20 verse 28 and 28 Yeah, verse 23 Okay So when they appointed him a day many came to him at his lodging to whom he explained and solemnly Testified of the kingdom of God and persuading them concerning Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophet from morning till evening Yes, thank you Abhishek So it really makes one wonder I stated that wherever he went, you know, he was a carrier of God's presence He was passionate about sharing the gospel Sometimes we have a mindset where we step into ministry, we spout of ministry But what do you do when somebody is living for the cause at all times, you know And Paul is one such individual where there's no stepping in, stepping out Every moment is an opportunity and he makes use of it So we've seen that being under the governors was an opportunity to minister to the high authorities of his days And talk about Jesus with them Now we don't know how many people he spoke to while on the ship while on this voyage from Caesarea to Rome Which some people call as the fourth missionary journey But I'm sure he would have, you know, shared the gospel He would have equipped people in the teachings of the kingdom of God We don't know how many disciples came out of that ship, how many people planted churches, we don't know But the reality is that the ministry went on and on and on Even on Island of Malta, then he come to Rome And here we are reading in Acts 28 verse 23 So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging Whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God That is understandable So he was there, since permission was given for people to visit him He continued, you know, explaining things to them, teaching them about the kingdom of God Testifying about it, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets But notice, it also says, from morning till evening Okay, do we recall where else he did something like this? Long summit He did this in the... There was a tire where Eutychus, he fell, didn't it? He fell and he actually died So I hope I'm getting the name of the place right Yeah, there was a place where a gentleman even fell Because Paul had so much to share Now when one is under imprisonment and they are teaching from morning till evening Think about it How full one heart must be with the word of God to be able to impart it In this continual manner Even in Ephesus, two years he was in Ephesus, school of tyrannous He ministered to every given opportunity How much he could teach the people, how much he equipped the people He was pouring into the lives of others And it is really so beautiful to see that one can be passionate This is like revival That's why sometimes we look at the lack of Paul and look at Paul and say He was a carrier of revival Wherever he went, there was this fire burning in him Which never mellowed down in any way He was on fire, he did his work with great zeal and zest Even under imprisonment in Rome It's quite scary to think what might happen to Paul if he were to get convicted But putting those thoughts aside, he looked at the given circumstances as an opportunity He is teaching the people from morning till evening So incredible, incredible to know that someone soared into the kingdom the way Paul did And many lessons to learn from the life of Paul And over here, verse 30, can I request either Abhishek or Christopher, please read verse 30 Yes, okay Then Paul went to whole years in his own rented house and received all who came to him Okay, so it helps us know our timeline So how long did he stay in this house? It says house but we know that it was basically a house imprisonment He couldn't travel out of Rome So for two years, he was in Zaria for two years and now he is in Rome for two years So far we have seen the birth of the church We have seen the impact of the church We have seen the raising up of leaders We have seen the raising up of a very notable leader In the life of the church by the name of Apostle Paul And the journey he makes from the time he encounters the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus All the way till he actually reaches Rome And from Damascus to Rome as shared in the book of Acts Paul covers the encounter and then he covers He doesn't talk too much about the preparatory years of Paul's life But he does begin to talk about his ministry in Antioch You know, once Barnabas brings him to Antioch And then three missionary journeys Three missionary, wonderful missionary journeys Filled great enthusiasm to serve the Lord Filled with much hard work We know wherever Paul could do his technique He did that wherever he could just focus and do his teaching He did that, he imparted everything he knew as essential for the believers So he went from one place to the other Then three missionary journeys He got several people to the Lord And many churches were also planted And not only that, as part of the missionary journeys We saw him going back to some of those old church plans And strengthening them once again All this with a sense of accountability to other leaders of the church You see, Paul didn't do things in a very, you know, I great And I know it all sort of manner But he was answerable to his own leaders back in Antioch He was reporting matters to his leaders in Antioch He was in touch with, you know, the leaders of Jerusalem When I say in touch, we know that he did not really have many days to spend in Jerusalem But he had a sense of honor for the leaders of Jerusalem And wherever required, you know, he did interact or take counsel We know about Acts 15 where the matter was escalated to the leadership of Jerusalem So, you know, he did things with a sense of accountability A sense of friendship and kingdom mentality with the leaders Not just the leaders, when we read the Epistles of Paul We see how he credits so many different leaders But, you know, as far as Paul's ministry in their lives is concerned He nurtured them from a place of being a believer to a leader How beautiful! Then he had privilege to call them leaders and credit them as leaders So, such was the ministry of Apostle Paul So he raised up churches with incredible fire The same kind of fire and seal which he carried was imparted to these churches And even up until the last portion of the Book of Acts Which is his travel to Rome or the voyage to Rome Sometimes considered as the fourth missionary journey and his first imprisonment They're saying first imprisonment because history has it that he underwent the second imprisonment as well And he was likely muttered somewhere around 64 AD or so And, you know, it said that he or, you know, not 64 There is again a time when the exact time people speculated So, 68 AD 68 AD as far as our time which we have put down is concerned We say 68 AD is around the time and he was at the second Roman imprisonment and died How did Paul die? Was he finally convicted? So, we don't have details from the Gospels or, sorry, I mean to say New Testament books to say that it was conviction That caused Paul's execution, he was beheaded It is likely that under the rule of Emperor Nero Persecution of Christians, right? It was quite rampant Or Christians, if anyone believed in Christ, they were being persecuted So it's likely that Paul kept that persecution And not necessarily as, oh, he spoke against the Jews Or he spoke against the Roman Empire and killed him It may not have happened like that So not through a conviction But more like it was a season of persecution The many were being killed and so Paul was also killed And it is said that he was beheaded He was not necessarily tortured many other ways Which other Christians of his time faced simply because he was Roman So being a Roman citizen had its privileges And they could not be ill-treated in several other ways He would have just been executed through beheading And this is right after the Second Imprisonment So that's about the life of Paul I know that's a lot for us to actually take in But then let me quickly summarize a few more timelines Just so we clear about how the Book of Acts and Paul's life is As far as the years are concerned So let me also show for us a map here Or a document which you're doing okay Was it like too much information or variable in one session? I would have loved for this to take a couple of sessions But I just squeezed it in Is that fine? Yes, first Alright, thank you So I hope you can see So I've just put this together for clarity Because I know different dates We mentioned a lot of these details First missionary journey, Second missionary journey All that Just so we can capture it in a proper manner I'll read out no timelines And you can also see it So that way it will register with you And there will be clarity Compile this from our ABC publication Revivals, Visitations and Moves of God We saw the initial years of the birth of the church So Acts chapter 2 to Acts chapter 8 From the moment that the Holy Spirit is poured out On the 120 believers in the upper room To the time where Philip goes and ministers in Samaria So that is about 8 years So 30 to 38 AD And what we see is the question that I asked us in the assignment Where we talk about the birth of the early church And the impact of the early church We could even say that it is a scene Or a picture of a church revival Because people were coming to know Jesus In large numbers Supernatural works of God were taking place Revival fires were spreading across So just the way that Jesus had said in Jerusalem In Samaria to the ends of the earth So the fire had started spreading out Now Acts 13 or Acts 9 Is the next set of years So it is about 9 years again So over here what we see happening is the encounter of Paul On the road to Damascus And the birth of the Antioch Church Which is a very special church for us In this context And how God calls out Barnabas and Paul For the work of the ministry So all this happens So at the time when Paul was called God He would have been somewhere between the ages of 29 to 33 years So beyond Acts 13 Where the missionary journeys actually start From there to the end of the book Looking at a period of about 20 years So what is going on in these 20 years We see that Paul makes his first missionary journey So Acts 844 to 846 Would be the first missionary journey That's about 2 years The second missionary journey is 1849 To 1852 That is 3 years Actually we also sometimes say 3 to 4 years It could have been So that's roughly about the time And over here The second missionary journey We looked at many points of emphasis But one key thing that we can remember Is he probably wrote the epistles First and second Thessalonians Epistles is letters of Paul Epistles So first and second Thessalonians So he wrote it in the second missionary journey Third missionary journey of Paul Between 53 to 58 A.D. Over 4 years Here again We know that he spent 3 years in Ephesus He wrote Galatians And first Corinthians From Macedonia He wrote 2nd Corinthians From Greece He wrote the letter to the Romans Remember I mentioned that He really wanted to go to the Romans But he couldn't So he had written a letter earlier Before he actually physically visited Rome So these are the epistles which he wrote During his missionary journey I just correct myself I think I am confused Second missionary journey is 3 years Over 4 years is the third missionary journey That's where he is in Ephesus And he does his teaching So you go by what you are seeing here In the timelines And I will also post this on your stream page So then you can hold on to the timelines here Alright So the third missionary journey Then imprisonment In Caesarea Over 2 years A.D. 58 to 60 Then he journeys to Rome And he is under Roman imprisonment So Roman imprisonment He writes the letters Colossians, Philemen, Ephesians And Philippians So these letters are known as prison epistles Prison epistles So you can make note of that And finally We know that after this prison In prison with Rome He was released for a period of time Where he wrote the first Timothy and Titus Now we don't know We are not sure whether Paul wrote The book of Hebrews or not But there is speculation that may be Who he wrote that book So if you include the book of Hebrews It would be a total of 14 epistles to Paul Attitude to Paul But since we are not sure There is a whole lot of debate about who wrote Hebrews We generally say 13 Is what is confirmed to be written by Paul So he wrote first Timothy and Titus During his period of release after this First imprisonment And then during the second imprisonment He wrote second Timothy He wrote second Timothy Sorry that's where you have that I fought the good fight I kept faith And so he had done his job He had done his best He knew that this time was coming And suddenly so Paul was executed in 1868 And we had a beautiful Let's say 24 years of ministry That he served so passionately And he is a great and a wonderful testimony Many of us don't believe us Not that we want to put him on a pedestal But just to applaud any child of God Who has really stuck their core And carried the revival fire That God put on the inside of him So we see that Paul would have travelled At least 49 cities People say he travelled more than 49 cities But at least 49 cities during his journey He met thousands of people Hundreds of leaders We don't even know how many thriving churches Were there during his time Obviously with hundreds of leaders There must have been hundreds of churches Directly or indirectly raised up by Apostle Paul Which was his ministry Which was his impact So the Book of Acts Sheds great light On the way one can follow up On the calling of God On their lives And as I stated In our very introductory class About the Book of Acts I want to mention That it ends re-abruptly As I told us The first imprisonment is What is recorded And we don't know why It looked incomplete Content regarding the release of Paul Content regarding the second imprisonment of Paul He never really published that But though there is an abrupt ending To the Book of Acts One thing we don't know The revival fire of God carries on Paul has come and gone Many of the men and women of God We see the Book of Acts They have come to God But the work of God continues The work of his Holy Spirit Continues and it continues in our lives So we must keep the fire burning We must keep carrying these revival fires Wherever the Lord sends us So with that I would like to call this a wrap For the Book of Acts And really want to thank you for your patience And thank you for journeying along If there

Nicki Minaj has been heavy in the news lately. Not only does the star remain super famous with 105 million followers in IG, she also released a track Hot Girl Summer with Megan Thee Stallion, is possibly beefing with Cardi again, and now fans think that she married her shady boyfriend Kenneth Petty. Why is Kenneth shady?  Years later, he also went back to prison when he was convicted of first degree manslaughter. Nicki has defended her man in terms of the rape, saying that he was in a relationship with the victim and they were only teens at the time. But who knows the deal? But does that mean a new husband for Nicki now? People are speculating they're married because on her podcast, Nicki said, We filed for the marriage license and we still had to pick it up and I was traveling. By the time I came back we had to renew it again. From that time you have 90 days to get married. That was about a week ago, so now I have about 80 days. Interesting. Oh and if that wasn't convincing enough, Nicki just changed her name on Twitter to Mrs. Petty. I wonder if they're going to get a new place together or maybe they'll just stay at Nicki's current spot. Anyways, we aren't talking about her drama or her relationship right now, and instead we're going to be looking at where Nicki calls home. If you know about Nicki's come up then you know the girl never had it easy. She was never even close to rich and had plenty of personal issues in the past, including an abusive father who burned the family home down in 87. She also worked a ton of different minimum wage jobs before she made it big. Now at age 36, at the time of this video, money really is not an issue. Nicki was motivated and determined to be successful and it's exactly what she did. Now with all her fame and fortune, I know the store is living in nothing short of luxury. Hey guys, it's Kara and we've been trying something a little different here on this channel. Today we are going to be taking a look at where Nicki lives and give the details on her house tour. Now there isn't too much information on Nicki's house and some fans argue that she spends more time in NYC than Beverly Hills, but we're going to look at what we do know. If you like this idea, I'll make more house tour vids. We also did one on Ariana Grande's Homes and Jeffree Star's Barbie Mansion, and we'll have links to those at the end of this video. I've also been reading all your comments and I'm going to be responding to some at the end of this video. I need you to let me know who to do next in the comments down below and whose home you'd like to see. So usually it's pretty easy to find exactly where a celebrity lives. It's either right there posted on the internet or the person has done some sort of house tour or photo shoot. Nicki has been a little more private though. Like I said before, some fans argue that she lives in NYC, while majority say that she's in Beverly Hills, California with the rest of the big shots. My thoughts? With Nicki's money, she probably has multiple spots, including in both of those cities. Nicki's house in the hills actually got broken into a few years back, so I assume this is why the star keeps her info on the DL these days. In February 2017, Nicki's house was robbed and the intruders not only destroyed the inside of the home, but also jacked over $200,000 worth of her stuff, including a ton of jewelry and clothes. Many assume that the robbery and attack on her home was personal. Since the damage was a lot of vandalism on specific items, it was a little weird, like destroyed picture frames and cut up clothing items. It was just weeks after Nicki and rapper slash ex-boyfriend Meek Mill broke up, so obviously people wanted to put the blame on him. Regardless of what went down or who the robbers were, Nicki upped her security. She added a ton of security cameras and guards at her home to make sure she wouldn't be robbed again. But this was a couple of years ago, so I think wherever Nicki may be living at now, she likely has plenty of security. This Beverly Hills mansion was the house that we last know of Nicki living in, so it's the one we're going to take a look at. Nicki was actually renting this mansion for $30K a month, and I heard it has a new celebrity tenant, but I'll tell you who that is later on. Located on 2600 Beaumont Drive in Beverly Hills, the inside of this house is almost 11,000 square feet. There are 8 beds and 4.5 baths. One of the bedrooms is actually a guest house with its own entry and terrace. This mansion is also located on the site of where Frank Sinatra used to live, so there's some history there too. I love the entryway in this home. The staircase looks huge and glamorous, like something from a movie. I could totally see this mansion fit for Nicki, and I'm sure while she lived there, it was probably decorated slightly more over the top than the listing photos. The views of this place are obviously gorgeous views of the Hollywood Hills, and you can see for miles. You don't even have to be on the terrace to get an epic view. Looking at photos, it seems you would get one just from sitting in the bathroom. All of the rooms in Nicki's mansion seemed really spacious. I also noticed there's a bunch of fireplaces. Now, I really wish we knew what Nicki's master bedroom and closet looked like while she was living there, but unfortunately we don't, so that's a shame. But the master bed in this place apparently has its own private terrace and two full bathrooms. Two bathrooms for one bedroom, I mean, is that even necessary? So outside the mansion, there's a gated driveway that leads up to the front where you'll find a five-car garage and motor court. There's also a pool obviously, and a spa with fountains as well as a built-in barbecue. Perfect for hosting parties. The guest house is also right there, so that works well if you have some drunk friends over who don't want to go home. So like I mentioned earlier, Nicki reportedly doesn't live in this house anymore. The mansion has a new tenant, none other than Mariah Carey. Mariah is actually paying less per month according to the listing that Nicki did, but it's still 35K. Even though Mariah and Nicki feuded while they were on American Idol, I guess Mariah didn't care when choosing to live there. I guess in this case we could also call this video the Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey house tour because it clearly seems like a hot property to rent. Even though Nicki's exact address is currently unknown, I'm pretty sure she still lives in Beverly Hills because what star doesn't? Considering the amount of time Nicki spends traveling and touring, it seems she also spends a lot of time living in her private jet. I'm sure that the rapper has a few places she calls home, and Reelis stayed in more than one place considering that her net worth is around like 85 million is of this year. She just opts not to be so public with where she lives. I think that anywhere Nicki moves into is probably decorated in none other than her unique and expensive taste. Hopefully one day Nicki's current spot is revealed or she gives a home tour herself. And when that happens, we will definitely do an updated house tour video all about it. I think with all of Nicki's drama and the taboids, we will be hearing a lot about her for the next while. I wonder what the deal is with her man Kenneth and if Nicki really is Mrs. Petty. Guess we'll just have to wait and find out. Okay guys so I'm going to be reading out a couple of your comments from past fits. This one was from our recent vid of Ariana Grande's house tour. Our boy Skiddle Boys said, Skiddle Boys in the comments, much love, good vibes only from Skiddle's nation. Our number one fan never disappoints, good vibes are the best. From the same vid, Juan Waria wrote, YOW SHELT ME OUT. Here's your shout out Juan, I like the excitement so keep up the comments and watching our vids. Alright guys that's all I could find on Nicki's house, even though apparently Mariah is living there now. I look forward to reading what you guys think about this spot, or if you have any info on Nicki's current place that I don't know about. Because I'm really curious now. Leave some more comments so I can respond to you guys and let me know some other celebrity houses you'd like to see. I'll see you next week with some new videos. Bye!


This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network Fridays last year on the show. We're fantastic talking some player props with JJ Zacharyson It was so much fun We decided to run it back once again this year JJ will be with us every single Friday talking about his favorite player props over at Fandall's sportsbook and For the rest of this baseball season also gonna pitching ninja Rob Friedman on to break down his favorite strikeout props across Major league baseball JJ Zacharyson Rob Friedman. What more could you possibly want? Let's dive on in and get you ready for this week one NFL slate This is covering the spread right here on the Fandall podcast network. My name is Jim Sonnis I am a managing editor of digital media for Fandall research joined here as mentioned to begin things by JJ Zacharyson check them out on Twitter at late round to QB You can find his work at late round comment on the late round fantasy football podcast JJ We got one game in the books week one. It feels so good. How you doing today? I'm doing good man You know David Montgomery was someone that I targeted a lot in my fantasy drafts this year So it's good to see him find the end zone. Hopefully we get a little more Jameer Gibb usage You know down the stretch here and throughout the rest of the season and then looking at that chiefs wide receiver group Wolf I mean that was one of the worst just group performances I think that I've ever seen in football could areas Tony awful awful game sky more was invisible for most of the game I mean it was just a really rough performance from that group like there was a team last night that ran out Outside of a Monterey St. Brown Josh Reynolds Kaleigh Framon and Marvin Jones, and they were the best receiving group on the field last night. How sad is that? Yeah, I mean look if there's one game that you can point to to say wide receiver Matters and this is why these guys are getting paid the way they are getting paid That's the game because even on the Detroit side Marvin Jones had one of the worst games that I've ever seen him play Probably his worst NFL game ever right right and so it was just it was just bad across the board Thank God for the Sun God, right, right They thank the Sun God because exactly, you know, he had a great outing. I needed him for DFS So we give all thanks and all praise to a Monterey St. Brown as always We're going to dive in and talk some player props with a JJ forward today talk about his process and then talk about props He likes at Vanderbilt Sportsbook for this week and then as I mentioned later on today Rob Friedman pitching Ninja will swing by talk about some strikeout props for Friday night And then I'll close things out by talking some NASCAR too. That's not worth a headline But we'll talk about that later on as well because I still got to indulge myself even as we get into NFL season Let's begin things though by talking about some player props and I want to start things off your JJ by talking about Something we referenced a couple weeks ago when you had to run the podcast talking about projection building process That was for the full season talking about player props for a full year, but now pretty much every time we talk props We're talking for a single game. So how much does that process for you? Switch when you're looking at a single game versus a full season Yeah, look over a season I'm looking at things like win totals and and seeing how game scripts sort of might unfold across a 17-game campaign right for these teams and so that's gonna lead to these pass rate projections That are gonna be static if you will across the entire season But on a weekly basis that game script can wildly fluctuate from one game to another You know if there's a a team that's you know, maybe it's based on opponent Maybe a team's facing a really really good opponent that they're not typically facing and that means a more pass-heavy script for them Because they're gonna be trailing maybe it's because of injury, right? Maybe the opposing team that they're facing Has a quarterback injury or something and then it's gonna be a run heavy script So it's really you know looking at weekly numbers They're just naturally gonna be a little bit more accurate than then season long numbers Because you're looking at things on an individual matchup and game basis And so the other thing too is that you can be flexible with injuries and things that are changing within a team Whereas from a season long perspective, you're locked in it's done, you know, you can't do anything about it at this point So that's that those are the main differences, you know, I think weekly projections. You should just be naturally more accurate Right, exactly. You're not guessing as much on health and stuff like that Like injuries can happen during games, which is why unders are often viable when we're talking about some props and stuff like that You have to account for the possibility of that, but it's not a 20% chance. It's running back. It's hurt It's more like, you know, whatever the single-game odds for you know running back getting hurt and stuff like that may be Now when we had you on the show here last year JJ We talked about situations that stood out to you some spots where maybe there was from some fluidity Because in fluid situations, we're gonna have guests we're gonna have questions But sort of bookmakers and that can be a good situation to find some value So which fluid situations are you most interested in for this week in week one? Yeah, you know, I think that there are two wide receiver situations that are pretty interesting One of them obviously being with the Rams without Cooper cup You know, when you think about projections and sort of how things work off of each other You know, I know that this is a really really big thing with like mba dfs and and being able to just quickly react to players being Inactive at the very last second not that i'm an mba guy. This is this Talking to very high level, but with the nfl with football um, you know projections are not going to be as like Precise as they would be necessarily with the mba But uh, you have to think about how a player being out then affects other players on that team And what it means for playing time and so with the rams in particular You have cooper cup and then you look at the rest of those wide receivers on that team And there's really three other wide receivers outside of cup that are Relatively interesting. I guess you would say and that's van jefferson hukuna kua and tutu atwell Um, you know, you have tyler higby a tight end and that's that's a whole different story But what i'm saying is with with these wide receivers is that you know when you're in 11 personnel Which is a pretty common package that we see teams run and and you get these three wide sets That means that this the the the fourth wide receiver on the rams who might be pukuna kua might be tutu atwell We don't really know it's probably going to be nakua, but the fourth wide receiver on that team All of a sudden then becomes the third wide receiver on that team And when he's the third wide receiver on that team, he's going to be on the field a lot more In those 11 personnel sets So it's important to understand how that sort of shifts and moves and so I think with this rams team You know, you have a negative game script this week against a potential negative game script against the atl They probably will throw a lot of 11 personnel out there We know that shot mcbay likes that that that package and he likes to run that way You know, maybe they surprise us they run more 12 and too tight than sets just because of the kuper cup injury But regardless it just means that we're going to see more tutu atwell and pukuna kua You know van jefferson was going to be on the field a lot regardless Now his target share is going to get better right Because kuper cup is not in the picture and van jefferson's talent versus the rest of the talent on that team Is greater therefore his target share will increase more than likely at least from a projection standpoint But what's really really important is that when these guys are sidelined You know these lower on the on the depth chart wide receivers and players get more opportunity to just be on the field And so there's more opportunity for them to hit there over And and i really you know the other situation That i wanted to get to uh, which we could see we might not see it's not confirmed right now It's green bay green bay has two uh wide receiver injuries right now with romeo dobbs who got some practice in yesterday But christian mott's not at nowhere You know he's got an issue and so if if one of them are out if both of them are out That's gonna elevate a player like jaden reed who in 11 personnel and three wide sets at least in week one You know, hopefully he's able to build off of a good start to the season And then maybe become the wide receiver two or even wide receiver one on that team Who knows but at least in week one from the perspective of week one If christian mott's and romeo dobbs are both healthy That means jaden reed's only going to be on the field and three wide receiver sets for the most part right He's gonna be their slot guy and so if one of those guys are out then all of a sudden He's an every down every snap player And that's a huge huge deal from projection standpoint from him seeing a lot more production And then you hypothetically Going over so if you see one of those guys confirmed out that that means jaden reed's a more attractive option And I think the encouraging thing for jaden reed and for luke musgrave as well Is that even when they had christian mott's and romeo dobbs healthy during the preseason They're playing a lot of snaps with the first team offense So I think that it's not a total projection to say Oh, well, their snaps will go up like they're gonna play and I think that that's encouraging with them because it's not total Guesswork we've already seen them on the field a lot and I could use that for luke musgrave I assume on sunday in dfs. All right. Let's talk about some yardage props jj When you look at the board over at fan dual sportsbook, which yardage props are most enticing to you Yeah, so one of the ones that really stood out this week was clill herbert He is his rushing yards line was 49 and a half. Uh, I didn't check this morning So maybe a change but 49 and a half. Um, I think the over is a pretty good bet for for herbert He's likely to start the season in that backfield is the 1a in that bears offense You know, I think a player like roshan johnson could end up getting more involved as the season goes on But here in week one, you know, they're likely gonna lean on a guy who has some NFL experience more than than the rookie, right? They do have diante form in there But herbert was the clear starter in the preseason to me the bigger questions for clill herbert as a player Are in the receiving game and as a pass blocker, you know, they've openly talked about him Not being that effective as a pass blocker, which is partially why or largely why they went out and got roshan johnson Who's probably the best pass blocker from this year's draft class? And so, you know, you could see a decent game script against green bay, you know, especially with these wide receiver injuries Um, but even regardless of all of that, here's the the bottom line statistic Clill herbert has seen double digit rushes in 10 career games He's hit the over in every single one of those games So i'm i'm feeling pretty confident. He's an incredibly efficient runner very very good on the ground I feel good that he can get to this number And again, it's another spot where the snaps during the preseason aligned with what you're saying Where he was on the field with the first team offense a lot during the preseason That does matter any of the yarders props you like for this week, kj Yeah, so I also have uh, james connor under 59 and a half rushing yards. Um, i'm very worried about Uh, this cardinals offense in general with josh. Why would that be curious? What would lead you to be worried there? Yeah, right, right, you know, the coaching issues Could be there. I mean, we we've all seen the clips of jonathan gannon Hyping up his team and talking to ron dell I think we all knew that something was up when he had that ron dell more conversation earlier this off season But regardless of all that regardless of all the the speculation, um You know, washington has one of the best front sevens in football There's not that much of a threat of a passer in this game with josh dobbs likely starting And so why would they not sell to stop a guy like james connor in this game? Um, and it's not like, you know, if you look at what happened last year with connor connor didn't get to this number in seven of 13 games last year And so you then layer on top the fact that some of those games were with kyler murray with a better offense Uh, now he gets this backup quarterback, which you know dobbs is like a third stringer on most teams if that And then they're facing a good front and what's probably going to be a negative game script. There's seven point underdogs I just have a hard time seeing connor get to this number. I think it should be Honestly, like nine and a half or 10 yards lower than it currently is. I could not agree more I don't understand why that number is so high given the team given the potential game script and stuff like that That one makes a lot of sense. What about touchdown props? What you seeing there for this week? Yeah, I got a couple of them. Uh, one is johan dots and now You have to shop a little bit for this one because johan dots and a fandal sports book His uh, any time touchdown Is is relatively fair But over on draft kings you can get this at plus 235 as in any time touchdown You have terry mclauren. He's banged up But even if terry mclauren goes johan dots is projected to see about a 20 target share If not more in this offense because mclauren might not even be 100 if he does go Arizona secondary not very strong, especially at cornerback Obviously, that's what johan dots is going to take advantage of now dots and really outperformed in the touchdown column last year Which could be partially why maybe the number looks the way that it does You know again, if you look at other books, it's like plus 180 and this is plus 235 There's a significant difference at at dk in particular. Um, and maybe they're saying You know, they're seeing that regression is going to hit because dots and did score Basically three or four more touchdowns and he should have based on his usage and based on where he was seeing his targets But man the matchups there johan dotson is a very very good football player Uh, I have a you know, the it's just it just seems like a very easy go-to bet at plus 235 and also like sam howell is like style at unc was like deep balls like uh, not from like a rate perspective, but like it was He liked go balls and that seems to mesh well with johan dotson and his kind of style play and last year after He came back to injury became a full-time starter once again His target share was right in line with the chlorins down that stretch run So although I think a lot of the touchdown regression stuff comes from what he did earlier on He actually earned a legit role later in the year Yeah, and his his yard per hour run number was pretty weak to start the season or in the front half of the season That's a predictive metric that we always want to look at and the second half of the season It's sort of like what we saw at george pickens the second half of the season things got a lot a lot better It's almost like he was a rookie wide receiver. So, uh, you know, I'm pretty into dotson, uh, you know at that number Okay, that is 175 of fandals sportsbook But as always make sure you're shopping around for the best number on the johan dotson anytime touchdown Any other touchdown props this week jj? Yeah, I got one more You know that with with these anytime touchdowns. I like to get a little weird, uh, you know with it I'm gonna say, you know, this is more of a long shot. It's plus 300 on fandals sports book I'm gonna say tank bigsby as an anytime touchdown Uh, there's a chance there's an outside chance That we see bigsby as the jags goal line guy last year etn Converted just three of 13 goal line rushes now I know that bigsby had that fumble in the preseason and maybe that changes things and they uh, don't feel as confident But bigsby is a very physical runner more physical than Travis etn bigsby looked really good in my prospect model too. I think he's just a good running back But there's also a chance that in this game jacksonville just gets ahead, um, you know against a rookie quarterback In anthony richardson. They don't have jonathan taylor. It could just get weird. It could just be a rough situation So, uh, i'm looking at tank bigsby seeing a positive game script Maybe he's the goal line guy too But maybe he gets some run in the second half and that could really lead to uh, you know, him scoring a touchdown And I think a lot of that was that was a lot of the reason why they took tank bigsby was etns He got a lot of work inside the five but was not productive on it I think they wanted more of a banger kind of a guy to get the job done there All right jj any other props to stand out to you across week number one in the nfl Yeah, I'm gonna go to the game in seattle or with seattle and la And in that game I have a same game parlay for you This is a plus five 27 if you put it together cam makers under 62 and a half yards on the ground Uh, I think that could happen if the script goes in, uh, seattle's favor Which I think we're all sort of projecting that to happen And then kairan williams has gotten a little bit of buzz out of out of camp and such You know this this offseason is sort of splitting a backfield potentially splitting a back with acres But at least being the pass catcher in that backfield And so he might be on the field more if that negative game script hits And then i'm just going to go straight to dk metcalf on the other side I'm going to hit the over on 60 and a half receiving yards. I know js and jackson smith and jigba Uh, it sounds like he's going to go But I don't know if he's going to be seeing the the full number of snaps that he would see You know, maybe in week five week six with that with that wrist. Um, the ram secondary is horrific So I think the dk metcalf can take advantage of that And then I also have him as an anytime touchdown scorer because yeah I mean, you know, if he's going to if he's going to gobble up a lot of yards might as well go with the touchdown regression The favorable regression with dk metcalf and say he's going to find the end zone in week one After not finding the end finding the end zone nearly enough in 2022 That is currently plus 5 31 for the candy there's under 62 and a half rushing yards dk metcalf over 60 and a half receiving yards in the dk metcalf Anytime touchdown I think the key thing jj with same game parlay as always you want these things to mesh well together and obviously like metcalf over and acres under May not because it's like, uh, you know, it implies seahawks are passing and the rams are also passing But a dk metcalf touchdown Implies the seahawks just going points and that increases the odds the rams are playing from behind Which means you're getting better odds than acres and you also have the other out like you mentioned If kairan williams gets more work that could also be a rush and under their their rushing offense was hideously inefficient last year To so that's an arrangement under there as well So I think that one does make a lot of sense from like a process perspective Making sure that those bets like make sense together And I think that you definitely have the nail on the head with that one That is jj. Zachary. So make sure you check him out on twitter at late round qb jj Lot of stuff for you in season. Uh, what people find that they go to late round com if they're trying to find your work entering week number one Yeah, so right now, you know draft season's over fantasy football.

Good luck to you in week one We'll talk to you again next week Thanks, buddy Alrighty that is jj. Zachary senior and you can find him on twitter at late round qb If you want the patreon go to late round com for that as mentioned though The fun does not stop there because it is friday and it's still baseball season, man We can't give up on our k-props just yet, which means we still got rob freeman coming on the show every friday And he is here with us right now. You can find rob on twitter at pitching angel You can find him at peacock mlb mlb on fox and fan dual sportsbook rob It is a true delight to have you get added into this friday show as well. How you doing today? I'm doing great. I miss the intro music though I know I didn't even think about that So you miss the intro music and I have a segment after you which means you don't hear the outro music either So like you're kind of in an island here and I feel like you got the run run to the stick I kind of feel like it too, but let's let's brighten up everybody's day with some awesome baseball Absolutely, and That's why we need to have you on this show still every friday despite it being nfl season is because it's friday There are jam packed slates pretty much every single friday and a lot of good value in strikeout props because A lot of times the strikeout props rob the issue can be is that they're picked over You know, we got a lot of smart people who are betting into strikeout prop markets and They make those lines efficient. Maybe they're distracted. Maybe i'm distracted right now So like you've got a couple fewer eyes and that can be a good opportunity to potentially find some value In the strikeout prop markets when you look at the friday slate rob any props standing out to you right now You know, I think there were there were a number I was A number I was close on um, I ended up with a repair as is one of my favorites It's like I always go with him like just do for for six k's or more Um braddish for six k's more and then sanga for seven or more just because it's codis sanga and he's He's on fire and pitch me. It's a very strikeoutable lineup Now we were talking about pares I think it was either last week or a couple of weeks ago and Wasn't his best night But I think that it's important to keep in mind the context around that start because it was his second consecutive start Against a nationals team that is a very low strikeout team You talked about how shers are you know in a repeat matchup is one thing because he's a veteran But like pares is 20 and so like having him face the same lineup That's that's a tough situation to be in the fillies are a good team, but they're not a low strikeout team So I feel like for pares tonight. It's probably a better spot for strikeouts even though It's a tougher matchup right? Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well as uh, I don't know what my voice is doing today But as well as with sandy sandy's injury, I think they'll try to get a little more out of them The bullpen was used a lot yesterday. So I'm just thinking maybe give him a few more pitches It always comes down to pitches with him and the it is important to consider those factors You know is the bullpen fresh and in this situation the answer is no Um, the bullpen has had some blips at times as well So maybe they are wanting to use their really talented young guy as we get down to the stretcher of the season So pares over five and a half minus 140 the first leg for rob. Let's go back to kyle bradish Which is one of the ones you had mentioned as well taking on the boston red sox and boston's a tough team to face because They've got a lot of veterans in that lot of who can kind of make your life difficult But bradish the number I think is pretty fair over five and a half is plus one or two What led you to be unbradish for tonight? Just he's on a streak of pitching really well I think five of his last six games. He's had six k's or more Boston Generally is a tough lineup. I think they've been a little easier lately And I think bradish is pitching particularly well. So that's that's the reason why I'm leaving When you've been watching bradish has there been a change that you've noticed that has led to this this uptick in I would say consistency as being a thing as well. Has there is something you've noticed there or no I think it's breaking stuff has been consistently really good. Yeah recently I think he just had to find his release point and be consistent with it And that's what I'm seeing now is he he looks really good. Okay. So bradish over five and a half is plus one or two Over at fandals sports book and of course, we're going with uh, we're playing the hits rob. We're going with all the The key guys feel like it too. I know and like honestly like Senga is like a guy who earns that though And I'm not gonna think against him, right? Right. It's like it's senga but it's also senga against a team that I feel like has been a fixture in this this uh This discussion throughout this year and the twins because they just love to strike out And like they're still good offense, you know full full respect for them for being good offense But like they strike out so much and senga six and a half strikeouts minus 156 And again, we talked about this last week raw But he seemed like a competitor who even when there's not a lot on the line He seems like he wants that ball seems like he's going to go deep in games And that's what you need to justify it over on a number this big Yeah, the only thing i'm thinking is it's some kind of trap or something because Like like to me, this is a game where senga should excel. He's been really good. I think he's trying to You know in his mind He's a competitor and also wants to show that he's the ace of this, you know And and this is another chance to put that stamp on it for next year And I don't think it's a meaningless game for him. So I I anticipate him Putting up a lot of strikeouts in this game, you know, I think the numbers low Yes, I'm going there. I agree. I think the senga is a delightful guy to watch So those numbers for rob pares over five and a half minus 140 Kyle brattish over five and a half at plus one or two and then senga over six and a half minus 156 now I think that senga could be an option when we're talking about The daily strikeout leaderboard it is actually up right now And senga is the favorites He is four to one you say kikuchi who has been phenomenal from basically middle of may early june on He's been a delight to watch but there's also blake snail. So It's a good leaderboard for tonight rob any value for you when you're looking at this board right now Yeah, i'm surprised at taj bradley so low like I may take a look at him I think he's got a you know a match up against a very strikeoutable lineup And uh, and he's capable of putting up a lot of k so that number is pretty good for him. I mean It seems like some value there to me Yeah, taj bradley 17 to 1 to lead the night in strikeouts and it is a loaded slate Like there are a lot of guys who can rack up a lot of strikeouts, but he can too and like he said good matchup for him So I don't think that's totally out of play For for bradley tonight. I think that's a very fair number Yeah, I would think so. I think um, you know, I normally I'd be on snell's side It's a tough tough lineup he's facing. Yeah Um, so I don't know I to me singa is a natural thing. I looked at it. I'm like, all right Senga's got to be the favorite. I would thought I thought taj would be a little bit I thought there'd be a little bit more money on him too Yeah, if you can't quite get to the the taj bradley to like to lead the night in strikeouts prop He is uh over six and a half is plus 124 for him I don't think that's a bad number either given the mariners are another team will strikeout play Yep, I think that's it. And if you know with him, it's a little random being a rookie Yeah, but he's got the stuff and he's had those games where he just you know racks up a ton of strikeouts I don't see why he can't do it against it. You know against the mariners lineup Okay, so check out the daily strikeout leaderboard over at fandals sportsbook to see who stands out to you Rob is in on taj bradley 17 to 1 but a lot of good value potentially on the board over there for right now That is rob freeman make sure you check him out on twitter again at pitching ninja find his work on peacock mlb mlb on fox and of course on fandals sportsbook as well and rob I'll find a way to make sure we can get the intro music for you at some point I don't know if I had to like, you know ship it to you whatever Like uh, like a cd will go old school so shift to you via cd. We'll find a way I'm gonna just use my ringtone. So Anyone has to just call me you're gonna like answer the like this is my issues when I hear the song I talk really fast but I talk fast in general but like and you're gonna like pick up the phone and like be talking Like a thousand miles per minute. Like that's the way it's gonna go Yeah, I mean I was expecting instead of coffee and stuff. So now I just now I gotta go drink some coffee Well, rob, I appreciate it regardless. Thank you so much for coming on once again for today I'm looking forward to you to talking to you again once again next week as these playoff races continue to heat up Let's go Alrighty check out rob freeman on twitter at pitching ninja find him again here at fandall sports book Doing a lot of fun streams and stuff whether be for peacock or for us here at fandall So uh delight to have him on the show once again every friday We're gonna talk about some nascar bets I like for kansas to close out the week here in just one second But first the nfl is back and the best place to celebrate is on fandall because right now all customers Get a no sweat bed for week one just place a bet on any week one nfl game You'll get bonus bets back if you don't win bet on spreads player props totals and more So visit the fandall sports book app and kick off the nfl season with america's number one sports book must be 21 plus and president Select states refund issued is not withdrawable bonus bets that expire seven days after a seat max refund five dollars Unless otherwise specified restrictions apply see terms at sportsbook dot fandall dot com Fandall is offering online sports waging in kansas under an agreement with kansas star casino llc gambling problem Call 1 800 gambler or visit fandall dot com slash rg in colorado isle of michigan new jersey ohio pennsylvania illinois tenancy in virginia call 1 800 next step or text next step to five three three four two in arizona<PHONE_NUMBER> or visit ccpg.org slash chat in connecticut 1809 with it in indiana 1805 224 700 visit ks gambling health dot com in kansas 180777 770 stop in louisiana md gambling health dot orc in maryland 1 800 gambler dot net in west virginia or call 1805 224 700 and y oming hope is here visit gambling helpline ma.org or call 800 3 2 7 50 50 or 24 7 support in massachusetts or call 180778 hope and y or text hope and y in York Let's finish up here by talking about some nascar in kansas the second round of the nascar cup series playoffs is this weekend and It's a pretty interesting race because we have not seen a track a race on a mile and a half track in the cup series since Memorial day and it's now past labor day So it's been a long time since we've seen these cars on this track type and since that time we've seen teams like ford I guess manufacturers like ford make some pretty big gains now a lot of it has been Has gone to rfk racing chris busher winning three of the past four races on ovals and That could lead you to say okay made in this in rfk stuff like that. I actually do think that the fact That we've seen these gains from ford is somewhat encouraging for the other ford teams that haven't searched just yet And as a result, I actually showed value in ryan blaney to win this kansas race at 22 To 1 blaney driving from team penske and team penske has had a pretty disappointing season But blaney did win charlotte with the most recent race at a mile and a half track And that was a long time ago very different situation different track than we have in kansas for this week but I think it was encouraging to see him not just Win that race but also went in pretty dominant fashion with a third place average running position Blaney hasn't had a lot of good finishes at kansas recently But he didn't the past. He had a string where he was finishing the top five consistently leading some laps as well So I don't think it's a bad track, right? He's had some bad luck and bad situations here recently My model is blaney's win odds at 7.2 percent his implied odds at 22 to 1 are 4.4 percent I showed good enough value there. So I will take blaney to win at 22 to 1 When I wrote up the betting guide over on uh fando research earlier on this week I had three top 10 bets in that one One of them has since moved that was a j alman dinger. He shortened to plus 600 I do show or plus 650. I should say and I have value there a bit. I have dinger at Fifth or 16 percent his implied odds there at 13 percent. So a bit of value But the better value to me is in the other two bets we talked about there Those are eric jones plus 550 austin cindrick has shortened as well to 8 to 1 But still showing value there personally and jones is another guy where it depends on how much stock you put in What we've seen recently because again no mile and a half tracks, but we've seen some like Higher speed non drafting tracks and like i'm putting Darrington in that bucket. It's high enough speed. I know it's a different track than than kansas But some overlap at least michigan was in there pokano and nashville. So those are the four races since charlotte at Faster non drafting tracks and those four races eric jones has four consecutive top 10s So he's been much better than what he was earlier on this year and in the charlotte race I think he actually showed speed there, but Had a transmission issue pretty early. He retired early also had a pretty good run in vegas earlier on this year So although legacy motor club has not had a good season Jones has been good recently on tracks that require a decent amount of horsepower to be good I think that's encouraging for this week now jones Like blaney has a pretty bad recent track record at kansas where he's had a lot of poor finishes No finishes better than 21st since he left joe gibbs racing, but when he was with jgr Mean good equipment. He did run pretty well there. So I feel like to me I don't want to overrate the recent results for jones at kansas and say he can't run this track because I feel like you probably can my model is jones at 21.9 for a top 10 implied odds of plus 550 are 15.4 percent syndrake is 8 to 1 his implied odds are 11.1 percent I've got him at 17.7 percent Kind of the same thought process as with blaney where we've seen ford overall getting better recently syndrake actually does have good history at at kansas He had a top 12 average running position here in both races last year So showed some speed there and was good in michigan too now How much does that matter because it's like a drafting ish track Very high speed and stuff like that. I don't know but I don't think it's a total non factor And if we still get syndrake here at 8 to 1 for a top 10, I think that's pretty enticing So the three bets I like for nascar this week at kansas are going to be ryan blaney at 22 to 1 eric jones at plus 550 and then austin syndrake at 8 to 1 potentially dinger at plus 650 if you want but I think that one's Shortened enough where i'm not as interested anymore That is all that we have here for today and this week on covering the spread gotta give a massive massive. Thank you two or two guests for today JJ zacharyson and rob freeman you can find jj on twitter at late row qb and find rob on twitter at pitching ninja I am at jim sonnis j i m s a n n e s you can also follow fandal research at fandal research Want to thank you all for tuning in for today?

Have a fantastic weekend We'll talk to you once again on monday. This has been covering the spread right here on the fan duel podcast network


There is a quarterback in the AFC East that just got broken off. It has been alluded to and talked about for some time now. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have agreed to a six-year contract extension through 2027 per sources. Needless to say, the money is significant, reports Chris Mortensen a six-year deal. It's not a 10-year deal like Patrick Mahomes was, but six years is a long time to still give the Buffalo Bills wiggle room if they need to with the salary cap with this deal.


Emily Simon is our ninth presenter, whose title for treatment thesis is targeting Ebola toxicity. A few years ago, we had a worldwide Ebola outbreak. It started in Western Africa, but it spread across the world, including to the United States. Despite the public health risk that Ebola poses, we have no approved treatments for the disease right now. Ebola disease is caused by the Ebola virus. The virus particularly attacks the cells that make up your blood vessels. These vessels then become leaky and blood spills into the other tissues in your body, usually resulting in a very rapid and gruesome death. To combat Ebola, we can look to the structure of the virus. The Ebola virus is covered in proteins called spikes, shown here as yellow arrows on a purple virus. These spikes, in turn, are coated, shown in pink, using a process called glycosylation. Glycosylation happens all the time in your body, even when you're healthy, but the virus hijacks this process and uses it to add this coating onto the surface of its spikes. This coating, on the surface of the spikes, is actually the part of the virus that does the most damage to your blood vessels. My thesis work asks the question, can I interfere with glycosylation, this coating process, in order to reduce the harmful effects of Ebola on the cells in your body? Glycosylation requires a group of enzymes called galnet transferases in order to work. You have 20 different galnet transferase enzymes in your body. If we could disable all 20 of these enzymes, the virus would no longer be able to use the glycosylation process and its spikes would remain uncoated. However, your body cannot survive if it has no functional glycosylation. We believe we can get around this problem. My preliminary data has shown that the Ebola virus preferentially uses one of these galnet transferase enzymes in order to coat its spikes. Our lab is currently working to identify drugs that will inhibit this single enzyme. We can then more specifically target glycosylation, disabling the parts of it that the virus uses to coat these spikes while leaving the rest of the process intact so your body can function normally. In the future, we hope that we could give this type of a drug to an infected person who has Ebola. Their single galnet transferase enzyme that the Ebola virus is using would no longer function and the virus spikes would remain uncoated. However, they would still have 19 functional enzymes to keep themselves alive. Their blood vessels would now no longer be so damaged by the Ebola spike. And we hope and hypothesize that the patient would have a much better chance of recovery from this horrible disease. Thank you.


The Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has organized a cessation firm on responsible broadcasts for 2023 elections. The firm held in Lagos and held in attendance religious leaders, heads of broadcast stations and official activists and the press. Our correspondent was there to cover up her plus TV news. The 2023 Nigerian election is a few months away. And the National Broadcasting Commission has ordered the media across all platforms to be responsible with their political broadcasts. It was emphasized that a media's contribution to the electoral process is education and enlightenment. The tendency is for us to say, well, we are neutral. Why are they worrying us? We must be powerfully saying to the neutral. Neutrality should be seen in the content we produce and transmit. Our content, the faucrum of our program should have the following elements. They must be well planned, planning. They must be well researched. They must have balance. They must be fair. They must give people the quality of space and time. As campaigns will begin soon, politicians will consider themselves in charge and journalists must be neutral. Neutrality brings credibility, trust and newness. It promotes peace and harmony in the society. Political parties will bring their members to take slots on TV and radio or even go to the internet to advance the interests of their political parties. Are you using the person you are bringing to stand in for the political party? Is it one?
