So do residents get paid extra? How to use Anki better? As well as many other questions for your medical school journey, all in this episode, let's get into it. All right guys, what's going on? Welcome to the AMD journey. Today I'm gonna be doing something very fun, which is just kind of getting into a Q and A video by going through all the YouTube comments that I haven't been able to answer. Apologies for that, I've been on an ICU rotation recently. But I do wanna make sure that I've been interactive with you guys and just kind of answering some of the questions that you guys have. So I'm gonna be able to pull up some of the comments that I haven't responded to yet. Hopefully, if you have that comment or if you have that question, this will be a little helpful. And as always, I definitely recommend you guys drop your comments even to this video or to this episode. I definitely read and look at every comment. Even if I'm not able to get to them immediately, I do try to answer them at some point. Definitely drop down any burning and non-burning questions that you may have down below. I include things from med school, residencies, studying, pre-med, you may get. Well, let's get into the questions today. We have a mirror who's talking about do residents get paid extra for 24 hour call, nights and shifts? Now, this is a video that will be coming out pretty shortly. I'll talk about kind of like what it's like as different things as the position. And one of the things that I definitely will make a video about is what it's like working an overnight call. One of the things I do as a second-year residence I actually work 28 hours straight on some shifts in the ICU and the wards as a medical professional. And unfortunately, no, I don't get paid extra for these 24 hour calls. At least my institution doesn't pay us as just kind of something that's included in her salary and is expected as a job description. But that would be nice, you know, maybe it wouldn't be so bad of working pretty much a full day and a half with often no sleep at all. So next question is from Abid who is always interacting in my YouTube channel. So Abid, thank you so much for your support. Basically the question is he is doing science questions or science courses and from his lecture slides, he's creating about 120 slides and he's trying to use the screenshot on key method. If you guys don't know what that is, you guys can check that down below. He's referring some of the things that I've been teaching in the level up your studying course as well, which I'll also link down below. But basically has 120 slides, he's asking is that too much? Specifically, what would you advise to use Anki early in the morning before lecture or during the evening? Now if you have any classes, this question applies to basically anyone that says is my material too much and how should I approach it? Often what I like to do is if I get some benefit from looking at the material quicker earlier than I do it, but I only do it in a set amount of time. So what I mean by that is if you have a lecture like Abid has here with 120 slides, it's really not time and kind of conducive to go through those 120 slides very systematically and then go to the lecture and hear it again and then at some point have to review them. That's just too much time. So either I skim through them very early or create my skin screenshot Anki methods, which again you guys can check out down below. But I try to do it as quickly as possible. And sometimes I completely skip out on this pre-reading kind of acquisition phase and I just go to lecture or I listen to it and then I take my notes on the slides or on my flashcards, whichever I do. But if you do have any class material that's become pretty excessive, then I definitely recommend to just wait till that acquisition phase comes and minimize how much and how often you do it. So just try to do it once or twice and then include just going to lecture, looking at your slides and making your screenshots potentially a little bit before lecture and that way you can answer and add questions and things that the professor mentions as kind of your notes. And hopefully that can save you some time while you're doing these really time-intensive classes. So Agopessimus, cool name, says great video, questioned about Anki. I definitely see the appeal of taking his screenshots and turning them to Anki cards. But personally for me it's difficult at times to memorize everything in a slide. As an add-on, do you think it's okay to try to use the image inclusion when making Anki cards? Do you think this is a good idea? So let's first talk about the image inclusion part of Anki. It's a really cool kind of technique that you can use for things like anatomy where there's a lot of structures and basically you can create a rectangle or shape over all the structures that you wanna identify. And then you basically do it once and then Anki makes 10 flashcards from it if there's 10 different things. So they're really effective for things like identifications or small kind of nitpicks of information. I don't use it as much, maybe I should, but going to your first question, you're finding it difficult to memorize everything in the slide. And I get that question a lot. Like how do I know what's important as well as how do I get through all of the material in the slide, especially if I'm taking screenshots and quizzing myself on the slide. The first kind of approach of this is every time I see a slide, my first kind of assessment is one, how much time am I gonna give to each slide? Usually I say 10 seconds. I may not seem like enough to get through the entire slide and it's not supposed to. Instead it's designed for me to say, in 10 seconds I need to tell myself, can I answer this question? And then I give myself another 10 seconds to look at the slide and pick up on what I got right, what I got wrong, as well as what I still don't know. Ideally then see that flashcard in another minute or 10 minutes. Doing the 10 second approach makes sure that you see a flashcard multiple times instead of spending an excess amount of time at one chunk trying to learn everything and later learning that you didn't actually know it. So now that you wanna understand that you need a timer and again there's a bunch of Anki videos I'll link down below in case you're interested on how to do this well. Once you get that timer, the next time I see a flashcard, my real question is how do I wanna approach this? And basically I wanna ask myself, the next time I see this flashcard, what are the main things that I want to learn and try to memorize by the next time I see it? So if there is a flashcard for example that has three major bullet points and then mini bullet points underneath each of them, then I may just say you're gonna have to memorize all of the three major bullet points by the next time you see it. And that's all you wanna focus on. And then the next time I see that flashcard, one I wanna quiz myself, do I remember those three main bullet points? If I don't then I'm not gonna focus on learning anything else, I'm just gonna focus on picking that up. And then once I'm able to pick up those three bullet points in this example, then I may say, okay now you need to memorize the three bullet points plus like the piece of details under bullet point number one. That way I'm systematically going through each flashcard with the understanding that every time I'm doing it I'm not trying to learn everything instead. I'm just trying to pick up one extra thing that is going to be my goal by the next time I see it. So let me know if that doesn't make sense. Hopefully it does. It's just a very systematic way of going through the flashcards and just accepting that you won't understand everything the first, second, or even third time that you see it. By using the 10 second rule, you're expected to see that flashcard numerous times during your review. That way you can focus on one or just two tidbits in the screenshot itself that you can focus on. So the next question is by Dilara Kana Doctor. Hopefully I said this right. But the question is on one of my videos for physio and basically saying is doing physio review questions in your world enough to pass step one? Do I also need another question thing? So definitely your world is more than enough to help you do well on step one, USMLE. Physio is a great resource because it includes videos, flashcards, and texts to kind of supplement everything that you need to do in terms of an acquisition phase. And so if you're somebody who learns by just using one resource, that'd be a great kind of tool to use. Other people like to use things like first aid, you know, sketchy, pickmonic. But as long as you kind of like the structure of physio, if you feel like you can learn through the resources that they give and I'll link down below the video about kind of the way that physio is broken down. If you guys want to discount that, I'll also be linked down below. But that sounds like a perfect way of studying first step one as long as physio works for you. So this is not a question, but it is something that I've been starting seeing in my comments more and more. And that was a video that I made way back then, which was about how to like stopping stress as a pre-med in medical school. And so Yia Zalim says it was brought her to tears, really great talk, really great motivation. I just wanted to use that as an aside that I really do want to get back on this channel of making videos that are really just kind of designed to not necessarily get views. That's not my goal. We're really with this channel. We're really just getting you pumped up if you do ever end up finding that video. So there is a motivation playlist that you guys can check out on the MD journey in case you're finding yourself in a little bit of a slump, but definitely expect more videos on motivation and kind of wellness that will be coming out pretty shortly. So Lena's question is, that's a great video. This was about my Q and E method on how to take notes better. And basically asking if she can recommend or if I can recommend a book or resource to do well on your iron rotation. There's a video that I have on my channel that basically talks about the main resources used during internal medicine. I also have a nice blog post that breaks down the resources that I use as well as a study schedule that I had designed for my USMLE and internal medicine shelf. But some of the common ones that people use for internal medicine are things like step up to medicine, which is a very nice kind of all-inclusive text if you like text. Online method, it is going to be a great resource if you like videos. And then obviously your world is going to be a great resource to quiz yourself because internal medicine is just so broad. Really the best way to learn it is by quizzing yourself and identifying the pattern is a little kind of nuances that happen when you have the same patients, same symptoms, but something is changed in their labs or their history that really make another differential more likely than another. So Sierra says, thank you for your input. She's almost through nursing school, so congratulations if you're watching this. She decided to pursue medical school once she graduates. So awesome goal, really looking forward to becoming a physician alongside all of us. You have some great experiences on there as well for sure. She wanted to see some insight on getting a good study routine, which I totally encourage. And out of curiosity, how long are lectures typically each day and how long do you spend studying that material? So how long lectures tend to last in med school? It really depends on institution. That's a great question to ask when you're interviewing or when you're looking at programs to apply for. Typically each lecture is about an hour and you tend to have the typical structure. You tend to have three lectures in the morning and that goes on for five days a week. So at least 15 lectures. During your first few semesters, you may have some labs for things like anatomy and pathology and things of that sort. And then ideally they'll start to get kind of spaced out and then you just have your class. So I just kind of imagine at least on the minimum about three hours of lectures, sometimes more. And then how long do you spend studying that material? It just depends again on your study routine. When I was able to alternate to the Anki method that I kind of talk a lot about on this channel, again, link down below, no shame in the plug. But once I kind of got to that system, I definitely found that my study routine was able to go from like eight hours to five hours. Not just because I was only spending time doing the things that were most effective to me. So again, it really just depends on once you find a technique that works for you, try to make it the most efficient for yourself without trying to add too many kind of wrinkles to it and you'll find that you'll be able to spend the least amount of time doing the thing that's best for you. So Teresa had a question that she asked again about the Anki method and where I talk about using to my 10 second method. And she says, how in the world am I able to do it? Again, I kind of reflect and refer back to the answer earlier, which is every time I'm answering the question or answering a flash card, really I'm looking for one thing that I want to learn by the next time I see it and then doing it each time. And ideally if you just focus on one fact or one or two facts on each flash card, you'll be able to pick them up the next time it shows up. And then you can add the next systematic thing. Now I over time really focus on how can I first focus on the most high yield thing. So it's usually things that have the biggest bullet points and then focus on the small details or how can I generalize the topic on the flash cards and then learn the details. But I still give myself a 10 second to 20 second test on it. And then once I can do it and move on and learn another or identify something next to learn. So that's kind of my approach. But again, 10 seconds doesn't have to be your approach. It can be 20 seconds or 30 seconds. Really the trick of using Anki is don't spend an excessive amount of time per each flash card. Give yourself a timer, move on and then be okay with reviewing it because that's really where the learning happens. So you see me ask, can I tell her the net worth of radiologist at age 40 and how much net worth you get there's every year? I personally don't like answering questions about like net worth and money of different physicians. I just, one, it's not something that I really focus on very much. I'm sure it can vary for a lot of reasons including how much debt you're in. You know, what training you do to get to the age of 40. Typically you imagine that a physician is as an actual doctor by the age of like 30 to 32 depending on what you do, even longer for some of my surgeon friends. And then if you're making about 200,000, 250,000 or 300,000, again, so much variability where you live. So net worth is hard to tell.  So if you spend all of your 200,000 or 400,000 salary your net worth is zero at the age of 40. And if you save it all, then it could be higher than somebody who makes a million dollars a year. So keep that in mind. So unfortunately you can't tell you. So Medea both asked a great question. She says she's a fourth year medical student. Basically she's noticing that she's starting to get a little bit kind of overwhelmed and intimidated because it seems like everyone else is more focused on her and she has nowhere to start. Should you focus on learning new material or go back to the old things that she felt like she was lacking in? Some memory issues she says she has and just kind of lacking confidence. And honestly, this is something we can all relate to when we notice a classmate or a peer who just seems like they are on top of something and then it just kind of lights a fire under us but also causes some anxiety. Should we learn new things? Should we focus on old things? My advice here would definitely be one, making sure you have a good kind of review process for all the new things you're about to learn without over stressing yourself on.  The first kind of step is how can I make sure that all the new cardiology I learn sticks with me and that goes with all the rotations, all those topics that you learn. And in terms of reviewing the old things, maybe just have a very kind of casual way of reviewing the old materials. So if you're doing practice questions or if you're kind of have a list of topics, which is I personally love to do, clinical kind of topics that I just don't feel comfortable with anymore. I try to do one every few days or once a week. Again, there's no timeframe. I'm just kind of looking into check that box. I'm saying, okay, today I understand the coagulation cascade, which I haven't reviewed since I met school a little bit better or I understand antibiotic choices a little bit better. So just remember that while everyone may seem like they're ahead, people can do a very good job about faking confidence. But to truly raise your confidence, you just want to one have an approach of doing better in the future. So tinkering with your study system, but also having a very low stress way of checking out the old boxes of things that you just want to get better at and just casually and gradually giving through it. And eventually, if you're able to can be consistent of doing this, you'll find that other people will be looking at you as the overconfident and person that they inspire to be. So use this as a motivation, not a discouragement and just kind of tinker with your setting system and you'll be there in no time. And then finally a question from Apilia247. What needs to change to make medical school and residency less stressful? Man, I can make a total video about things that would want different and especially in a medical school training. One, I don't think medical school should be four years the way it is here in the United States. I honestly don't think those four years maybe four years better or closer to a great doctor. In fact, I felt like they made me initially like a good test taker and then they forced me to say, oh, why don't you understand all your clinical knowledge by now? And that made no sense. If anything, I would put medical students into clinical rotations and in a clinical setting as quickly as possible. And maybe you could just have one medical student who's designed to follow one patient for a whole week while the rest of their residents and other medical students are really taking care of more patients. You start to just learn the lingo and the nuances of medicine much quicker than you would probably sitting in a chair listening to a lecture or tell you about the genetic variants of things like cystic fibrosis. The best way to learn about that is actually taking care of somebody with the disease itself. So that would definitely make it less stressful of just being uncomfortable by the very start and the quicker it could be uncomfortable in medicine, the quicker you develop confidence. And same thing for residency, I think for residencies can really differ depending on the specialty and the program. But if your residency isn't focused on resident wellness, that includes, you know, being thoughtful for vacations, things for how much time you work consistently, avoiding getting close to that workout or restriction that we now have in the U.S. or obviously not going over it. Those are all the things that I would definitely want. But I'm a medical school one. I think you can make a medical school a lot less stressful. It definitely helps that step one is pass fail for the U.S. kind of graduates. That definitely makes them more stressful for the international graduates. But that's a whole nother video aside. And was MMD just says we support you. Please continue parts to you. But with that being said guys, that will conclude this Q and A video. Hopefully you guys have found it kind of entertaining.

My name is Jennifer Cook. I'm Director of the Africa Program at CSIS. We're here today with Minister Brownie Samakai, Defense Minister of Liberia. And we're delighted to welcome you here to CSIS. We've had a good discussion about security sector reform in Liberia. Minister Samakai, you've essentially overseen the rebuilding of the Liberian Defense Forces, really from scratch, beginning in 2003. Can you give us a sense of progress and where you are at this point? Well, the initial goal in 2000, when the new government was coming, was to train about 2,000 soldiers. We pretty much have done that. We've given in the rudimentary training of the basic training, individual training. We're building up the MOS's at this point in time. We're then building up the cadre of non-commissioned officers and officers as well. We have gotten our first set of captains after five years. Now they're not going to the command colleges. We have one that are going there. So there's an MOS development. There is a cadre of non-commissioned officer development, and it's a cadre of maintaining and managing those equipment that we have. And then the planning process on forecasting and different kinds of scenario conflicts, how to respond and do that. So at present, I think we are very glad that after five years of engagement with the U.S. and training, Liberia have been able to assume that responsibility since 2010. So we are, I think we are making progress in terms of building the institution at the level we want it to be. Now, Liberian defense forces have been a problem in past administrations. Tell us how this one's different. Well, the difference here is that right now, there's no individual who joined the armed forces of Liberia who was recommended by anyone. So it is strictly an order of merits. Strictly an order of merits, strictly a broad-based institution. It's not political, it's strictly on a more professional kind of entry into the armed forces. It must be a high school graduate with a YF, West African Design and Nation certificate. It must be setting criteria for recruiting, for vetting process, both your human rights record, your engagement in the community, a dinosaur texting. Medical is a whole not yet involvement of the community. So what you have is an institution being built where individuals are coming with a clear loyalty to the state and not to any individual, not to any institution, not to any tribe. And there's no political interference in terms of who goes into the AFL or who gets promoted. I think it's more institutional now than it was in the past. And you've done this, Liberia has done this in the midst of security problems that are unfolding and the one most imminent right now is the crisis in neighboring Cote d'Ivoire, which is right on the eastern border of Liberia. How worried are you about violence in Cote d'Ivoire? Well, there are certain dimensions that affect us directly based on the proximity of Liberia and La Cote d'Ivoire. On Cote d'Ivoire along the border. All of our villages and resources that are there overwhelmed by the influx of refugees who have a humanitarian crisis and come with thousands of people you have the law enforcement problem in the process. So that is putting a lot of pressure on Amiga resources we have to deploy our immigration personnel to deploy the humanitarian aspect of that. And then I had the same time to deploy police in order to deal with the humanitarian aspect. Now with armed elements across the border side creates a new concern for us. So their intention to remain on our side or as to whether at some point in time incidents or conditions may provoke either party to want to cross the border that is a concern to us. But we believe that Liberia has no intention to undertake any action or make it appear to be belligerent to any of those forces neither to provoke any incident at all. So we've been only responding in a manner that is more appropriate on humanitarian response on the law enforcement response and of the control of goods and services that are coming along the border. It is a concern though that as the crisis get prolonged over any any support and involvement of international community to define an unmeasurable solution it creates a burden on Amiga resources that we have as we head into elections you believe it creates another concern for us. So yes it is a concern for us at this one U.S. has had a long engagement in Liberia but particularly since 2006 in security sector reform right I think you've said that's being positive but what what more are you looking to the international community for? Well I mean the process is not complete the process is ongoing we don't allow for the armed forces we're doing some for the Liberia national police not on law enforcement but what about the immigration we should play a major part in policing all of the border crossing points into the country that institution need to go through a reform process and also there's what we call capacity gaps in those institutions to be able to fill in those roles that are precedent being performed effectively by the United Nations. When the transition process with the UN gets completed how does the government of Liberia take on those responsibilities those are the kind of challenges because the UN still has 9,000 yeah pretty much it has that exactly that amount of troops and not only troops but also the way with or in the support element for a recurrent ability to maintain its operation we have a challenge as to how we can sustain that much more provide equipment provide resources you know from the meager budget budget that the government has so it is extremely important that we remain engaged with the international community so they can bring support to complete other elements of the security sector reform process and I think it is key that we should not let the process win heavily on one side on the armed forces and lead the police lead the immigration lead the customs and other services that are actually needed to complete this whole this whole package but again we are thankful that at least we were able to get support from the international community initially led by the United States and we hope that we can get additional support to help these other institutions as well I want to thank you for being here with us today for speaking on the panel co-hosted with the U.S. Institute of Peace and we'll welcome you back to Washington I hope in the near future thank you very much I greatly appreciate it thank you


Felly rhaid wyf hanfodm'n hoffa'n ddiddordeb, a ddim ddod ar gyfer i'w A-Reef ar y ddiddorol. Rhaid hwnnau i'r ddiddordeb Twitter, ac ymwneud y pryd yn ddim ei ddim yn ddiddordeb ac ar gyfer gyfer y cysylltu'r ddae ac y mae'r effeithd o licent. Ac mae'n rhai i wneud y cysylltu yma i bobl o licent a licent a licent, ac mae'n rhoi o ddiddordeb yn iddynt y sgol yn ddigon i economi ac mae'n ddigon i ddweithio, ac mae yn rhan o'r cymdeithas of Andrea's presentation as well. So, in terms of a kind of background, in terms of thinking about economic development and some of the context, make three points as a point of departure on introduction. First of all, I think it's, well we'll see if this is contentious or not, the traditional pathway to economic development, meaning industrialisation, expansion of manufacturing shares is, I would say becoming harder for developing countries, harder to start on and harder to sustain. And the argument of Kaplancki, Felipe and others is that as more and more countries enter similar export markets, the amount of manufacturing and jobs is getting spread across those countries. Secondly, and whether this is good or bad is an open question, I think you can have good and bad de-industrialisation. Many middle-income countries are actually de-industrialising. I mean a more accurate term might be tertiaryisation, I think, than de-industrialisation. Again, there's some contestation, there's a de-industrialisation or a peaking, perhaps not a decline yet, of manufacturing employment shares whilst where the value added is peaked or not depends on the countries you're looking at. And so, for many of the world's developing countries, the issue around economic development is actually one of the growing service sector and how that provides employment and what it means for inequality. So, these are the kind of the kind of contemporary or I guess this kind of stylised facts of a kind in terms of economic development. And we thought we'd take a look at what those mean for inequality and obviously indirectly there are consequences for poverty in terms of employment creation. Of course, Cresnets is the backdrop to all of these kind of things and so we come to that in due course. I'll skip that one. In terms of de-industrialisation, we focus on de-industrialisation principally because we look at the case study of Indonesia which are E4 when introduced in the moment. So, there's very much written on de-industrialisation but it's largely with reference to the rich countries or advanced countries, not only historically some very seminal papers but more recently too. The relevance of that literature to developing countries I think is more of an open question given that de-industrialisation is having an earlier stage for many countries than historically was the case for other countries. There's a small set of country case studies we've found so far of five or six countries and a relatively small but growing set of cross-country papers on these kind of issues around de-industrialisation. Now, I'm going to talk about one of the papers, more recent papers, I'm going to talk about this because I think it's a very interesting paper, I'm also going to talk about it because it's the next director of wider. Cunal is smiling very modusly. So, essentially, by most, take the Gronigan 10 sector database and look at the relationship between structural transformation and inequality using the standardised world income inequality database that's forthcoming not yet publicly available. What they find is the movement of employment towards manufacturing is unambiguously associated with decreasing income inequality and the movement workers into services has no discernible impact on inequality but in certain types of countries, what they refer to as structurally developing countries, that is countries where manufacturing is greater than agriculture in terms of sectoral shares and employment, you get an increase in inequality and in structurally developed countries you get a decrease in inequality. So, I think that's kind of interesting as the kind of global picture based on about 30 countries and it brings us back to a question I think in terms of theory about what Cusnets actually said. I know Ravi Campbell wrote a very interesting paper that brought to the fore something that had been on my mind for quite some time that the Cusnets is largely reduced to the curve but actually this seminal paper was much more interesting, thoughtful. It's absolutely stuffed with caveats and nuance and I think it raises an interesting question about the forces that are impacting on inequality as countries go through structural change. So, principally, I think of interest is the fact that Cusnets, using the dual economy model, talked about inequality rising in the early stages as growth tends to benefit those with capital and education, as people move out of the rural sector, rural wages rise and inequality falls. That means that essentially inequality is decomposible between three components, inequality in each sector, the mean income of each sector and the population shares in each sector. So that, although inequality may rise as a result of the movement between sectors, in fact Cusnets pointed that out, it may also be balanced by what happens within the sector and the shares of each sector overall and it's been some various attempts to look at developing theory from a number of writers writing in that kind of tradition. So, for us, we were thinking principally about these issues of economic development, relinking employment and inequality to economic development, a structural transformation and what we were interested in was how the sectoral composition of employment or changes in it affects inequality and principally because the case study is around Indonesia in a period of history in Indonesia where Indonesia was deindustrialising, at least reached manufacturing peaks, the impact of deindustrialisation on employment in terms of whether increases or reduces inequality. I will hand over to Arif next. Okay, thank you. Let me go. Now, why Indonesia so many reasons? My other is Indonesia in the past, particularly in the 1980s, has been generating rapid employment growth through industrialisation. However, that's quite halted in the decade of 2000s and then coincidentally during the same times during the 2000s Indonesia has been rising unprecedented increase in inequality. And for the purpose of this paper, actually, we use Indonesian district for several reasons. For example, one of them is the commonality because district represents a broader range of social landscape and also shares so many characteristics unlike cross-country studies. And that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is because we have access to the data. And then also, actually we found that income and inequality range of Indonesian districts represent quite a good range of cross-country data too as we all see here, for example, that the triangle that represent the 390 districts that we have and then we overlay the data with cross-country data and then you can find Indonesian district which is actually similar to Saharan African country but actually Jakarta city is equivalent to Spain and Italy in term of income and inequality also in term of income per capita. And then we have also quite good range of inequality. So this 15 years of 390 district is quite interesting to dig down, deeper into better analysis. So basically what we did is estimate the panel data models trying to explain the factor that determine inequality, various kind. Our main indicator is Gini but we also check other measures. And then controlling other factor, we also introduce the quadratic term in the share of employment by sectors and then as well as the quadratic term. So we want to test as well the linearity directly testing the QSNET curve. And we assemble, we managed to assemble that, I said, containing 390 districts for 15 years. Also we add, so from that data we can get employment share as well, other than inequality and various indicators as well as we combine it with other data value edit from other sources. And this is just to give you a look of the data when you scatterplot the income, mean income of the district and inequality. And you can see how it's delayed. And then to give you also an idea of how we group the sectors. So this is the sectors that we group. We divide into five and five plus sectors for a reason that I will tell you again later. But we divide into agriculture and then industry we divide into manufacturing and non-manufacturing. We divide market into two, services into two, market and non-market services. And in the five plus aggregations we separate finance and insurance and business related sectors. And also if you want to, if you're interested, I also plot the trend of for 2000, how it looks like as you can see that the agriculture decline, however the manufacturing in the decade 2000 stabilized. So and then it seems that the non-agriculture employment move from agriculture sector to non-market services. And then this is just to give you a view about the casual observations. So you can see that it's obvious, for example, that when people move from agriculture and inequality rise here, but to which sectors that labor move, actually it's correlations between inequality and dose share, even though seemingly to be more positive than negative, but it varies. So what we did is we use these fixed effect regressions. And then we found actually that if we use only non-agriculture, this non-agriculture is positive and significant. So it means that the more you move to the agriculture sector, the employment share, the higher the inequality. But when you disentangle, this aggregate, these non-agricultures, then you can see here that, for example, all industries, apparently in inconsistent with Cunal finding, for international case, that the industry, both non-manufacturer and manufacturer actually has a non-linear increase. So it's increasing inequality, however, with the turning point. So it's a kind of cusnet way, a cusnet point of view. And however, in services, the non-market services behave like cusnet, however, the market services not really. So that's why I aggregate again that market services into buyer services, buyer and financial and so on. And then here, so then for the finance and business sector, we again find the quadratic term. So that's what we found. It is interesting to note that Indonesia actually here more or less to be non-market services, if you see this picture, this is non-market services, where the action is here. So this is the highlight, but let's also depend on the turning point. So we found that actually the turning point, even if it's statistically significant, actually it's high. It's quite high turning point. So for example, in Indonesia, the proportion of those districts below the turning point is very high. So most districts actually below the turning point, so it's still far away. And if we compare to cross-country, so they are still high too, but not as high as if you are using Indonesian districts. So it means 88% of countries in the GGTC database actually fall below the turning point. In the case of Indonesia, let me not give you a small remark, because Indonesia in the last one and a half decade, the movement is from agriculture and non-market services here, you can see. So when you look at the result, it implies that that movement that happened in Indonesia during the decade of 2000 will tend to increase inequality. So from this point, then we will argue that, of course, whether or not the industrialization increase or reduce inequality, it depends on what is the initial positions of that shares, for example here or here, and the directions of the change. So that matters. So it's general. So it really depends on country specific factors, country specific initial positions. Also we add just to test, we also add value-added shares instead of employment shares. Actually we found that value-added shares in GDP does not have any strong correlations between them and inequality, unlike labour shares. The reason we argue that value-added shares and employment shares is actually correlated but actually weakly, particularly when we look into district data, because district data is the mobility of input, particularly capital between districts. I think that makes below for effect of return to factor, for example. So what happened in the economic activity that happened in certain districts is not necessarily translated into welfare of the citizen of the district because of this free mobility of input. So we have to be careful in using this value-added data in the districts. You may argue differently in the case of cross countries. So we also do robustness checks. So we use 10 different economic quality measures because we are using micro data to do this. And then the result is quite robust to those variations. And then we also use different kind of specification. And then also we change sample variation and more or less the result quite robust. So let me conclude. So Andy, at the beginning, asked questions and then ourselves and we also tried to answer. So how does the sectoral composition's employment or change in it affect inequality? Well we have three points of answering this. An equality rise when the employment share of industry rise. That's what we found with our data. However, an equality rise when the employment share of some services with high turning point. So it has high turning point. So with service as well, rise, inequality rise, but high turning point. Even though some services may have a little bit lower turning point. So in our view, this finding somewhat supports cost net hypothesis. Our note on whether or how the industrialisation of employment increases or reduces inequality. So again we argue that it depends on the initial positions of the employment share within each country, sectoral share within each countries and the direction toward where they are moving. But let me, let us give some, what is it, not projection but view about the current global situation. So we found that if agricultural employment share is generally declining and I think it happened in most countries. So if we combine that with the predictions that the industry and service employment share of most developing countries are below the turning point, for example in the GDC country 88% are below the turning point. So it is less likely that the industrialisation will reduce inequality. So it will either doesn't have any effect or rise in inequality like for example what happened in Indonesia. So this is the end of our presentation. Thank you.


G'day, welcome to Bootlossophy. If you haven't been here before, my name is Tech. I'd first like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land that I'm filming on, The Watch of People. Now, this is just a quick video on my initial impressions of the Caswell Lisbon Service Boot. So Caswell Bootmakers came into my radar when I saw the founder Kevin Wilson being interviewed by my mate Dale on his channel at Aero Surfer LV on one of his real boot talks. I'll leave a link to that video up there and probably in the description below. Kevin struck me as being a really nice guy and I was quite interested in it. But the interesting thing is that immediately after that video, I got a heck of a lot of DMs on my Instagram account asking me if I was going to review Caswell Boots and I do mean a lot of DMs. So after that, that got me interested and I contacted Kevin Wilson through my Instagram account. I direct messaged him and I asked him, would he be interested in sending me a pair of boots for review? And he very kindly agreed. So full disclosure, these are a free pair of boots for review, but there were no terms agreed. In fact, there was no discussion about what I could or couldn't say. So this is going to be a pretty full bore on pros and cons review of these boots and I'm going to be totally honest about it. So this boot is from Caswell Bootmakers Company based in Washington, DC, which I think you'll agree with me is not exactly seen as the bootmaking capital of the world. But Kevin Wilson, the founder, is based there. He's obviously got a vision for making great boots. There is a bit of check of history with Caswell. I think Kevin started a Kickstarter campaign, which I don't think quite reached the cap. He started in 2019. So guess what? 2020, COVID, huge dent in his plans. The US factory that he was contracting went out of business. Towing and throwing, he eventually found a factory in Spain to make these. And these were produced late last year. So this is the plain toe service boot model. And in all aspects, it's what you would expect from a service boot. It's plain toe. It's good year welded. There are two quite large, quite generous quarters so that the lace facings meet quite closely in the middle.  There's a single piece backstage coming up the top that I mentioned was a six inch boot as all service boots are stacked leather heel. The stitching is actually pretty good. There's triple stitching at the quarters, double stitching at the heel counter. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven brass eyelets. They come with two pairs of laces, some extremely long leather laces, which I cut down as well as a thin cotton lace, which I found a bit too thin for this sort of style boot. The sole is a Vibram Laundra sole. If you watch my videos, you know Vibram is Italian. The Laundra design is very similar to the UK company Ridgeway design, which is often used by Weiberg and Parkhurst has used them in the past. I really like this sole because it's quite low profile, but it's also very grippy without those deep lugs that could pick up lots of gravel. The uppers is a key factor in these boots. They also make them casual, also make them in smooth leathers and other leathers, but this is Charles F. Stead's Waxy Commander. Those of you who have watched my videos will know that I really do lean towards Waxy Commander or Wax Sway. Bordon Columbia, all my boots, three of them from Bordon Columbia are in Wax Sway, but they're from an Italian tenor. I have a couple of grandstones. They're brass boot in earth and they're Edward Boot and I think called Waxy Tobacco, which is from the Charles F. Stead Waxy Commander series. This one's called Waxy Commander Snuff and by that I take it to mean that under this very dark wax layer on top, the base Sway layer is a snuff color, a very gingery sort of color, which is going to show through rather nicely. I've worn this boot for half a day and look at the patina starting to show through. So, you know, I'm looking forward to this starting to wear and really showing through in its patina. The inside is fully lined. If there are any cons to be mentioned, the tongue is not gusseted. I'm a fan of a gusseted or a semi-gusseted tongue because I have a weird right foot or a weird right footed step because if you have an unguesseted tongue, I find that they tend to slip to one side on my right foot. I've worn this for about half a day, as I've said, but there's been no sign of tongue slippage because I think the leather on the tongue is quite thick and it's also lined. The design of the boot is quite traditional. There's nothing, you know, particularly fancy about it, but it's a nice put-together package on a very nice, quite sleek almond-shaped last. Looking at this and looking at round-toed lasts like the Parker 602 or the Leo Larson Grandstone, you'd think this is quite squeezy, but I have no problems with it at all, which leads me to talk about sizing and comfort. Now, I measure an eight and a half D, that's the width, on a US brand-new device. And for most heritage-style boots, particularly American boots, I have to size a half down. So measuring eight and a half D, I normally buy an eight D in American heritage boots. These are true to size. I emailed direct message Kevin and we worked out the sizing and he recommended, after I gave him a couple of different boots I had, different sizes, he recommended going two to size at eight and a half D and that was the right call. They fit really perfectly, no hot spots, no pinching, extremely comfortable on the uppers, straight out of the box. There is a little heel slippage and I think that's because it has quite a sort of up and down design to the back. Often you find that if they have more of a cup, or as I said in my Iron Rangers review, if they had Kim Kardashian's backside shape, you tend to find that the heel doesn't slip as much because it sits in that cup. When this breaks in and this starts to soften and move backwards, that'll be fine. Apart from that, there was no breaking required. As I said, it was comfortable right out of the box. I honestly, I can't feel it, but when your feet are in it, your arch is really well supported. This is one of the best arch supported boots that I have in my collection that certainly I felt as soon as I opened the box, which is quite strange because it's no particular sort of design to it like an olden boot where you can say that's where it comes from. Now, talking about price, these are listed at $339.95 US dollars on the website as are all of his Lisbon boots. They also have a cap toe design jumper boot and a chucker boot and all three models in different make-ups of leather and so on. I think at $339.95, call it $340. I think that's pretty much the sweet spot for this middle of the range service boot styles, you know, like they compete with Grant Stones and Parkhursts and people in that middle range. And certainly in terms of quality, apart from a little gripe about that ungusted tongue, there's a little bit of a hinky two or three stitches there. It looks like the machine had to go back a couple of times. So in terms of quality, other than those tiny little things, I think my friend who Derek messaged me was quite right. This is a pretty legit new brand to look at. And if you want to have a look at them, I'll put a link to the website in the description below. So that was my initial impressions of these Caswell Lisbon boots in Swade, Waxy Commander Swade. As you know, what I do is I'll wear them for a few weeks or a few months and I'll bring you a more in-depth review where I'll look at the construction in detail, but I'll also look at the bootmaker in detail and I'll send a few questions to Kevin to ask him about where he got his vision to start a bootmaking company and as well the history of Caswell so far. So other than that, take a look at his website and don't forget, click the like button if you like this video and of course if you're not subscribed, don't forget to click on the subscribe button. Until then, take care and I'll see you soon.


Remote sensing has become increasingly important for monitoring land use and changes in land use. However, most studies have focused on land cover rather than land use, and few have evaluated the accuracy of fusion techniques for land use assessment. Fusion techniques are needed to improve the accuracy of land use assessment, as well as to compare results across different sites. This article was authored by Neha Joshi, Mathias Bauman, Andrea Hamer, and others. Thank you for your time, and I'll see you in the next video.


Now we're going to examine how much lighting do we need, and so it depends on what kind of task are we doing. Say if you're just walking in a hallway, you need the simple little bit of light to see each other and to recognize what is there. That lighting is called ambient lighting or general purpose lighting. For example, I'm sitting here in this conference room and trying to take notes or reading a book. And this type of lighting, the type of lighting that I need here is called task lighting. I am doing a specific task of reading a book. Or you can take another example of cooking, you know, you're cooking something and you need to know exactly whether it is done or not, you need lighting there. That is again, task oriented lighting. So it depends on the task that you are doing, there are three types usually. First is the ambient, the second one is the task lighting and the third one is accent lighting. The idea there is you want to highlight certain aspects, maybe a painting, maybe a statue that you own or any other thing, a map, you know, whatever you want to highlight instead of highlighting the entire room lighting, you can highlight that particular piece with some special lighting and that type of lighting is called accent lighting. And how much light do we need also depends on the age of the group, age of the people that are in there in the room. Obviously older people need little higher amounts of light than younger people. And also the speed and accuracy with which we want to do certain things, say for example a person is repairing a small wrist watch here. Obviously they need more lighting specifically especially if they want to repair very fast. So speed and accuracy with which we want to do a job also dictates how much light we want.


October is a very historic month in space. Czech Jäger first broke the sound barrier in level flight, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, and NASA was formed, all this month in space history. In the years after the Second World War, new technologies marrying solid engineering and skilled piloting in the sky were pushing airplanes higher and faster. But there was a limit, colloquially known as the sound barrier that no airplane could pass. The sound barrier isn't caused by sound, but by air building up in front of and around an aircraft as it approaches the speed of sound. The air can't move out of the way fast enough, which increases drag on the airplane and reduces lift, and at the same time, the air above the wings moves faster than the speed of sound, forming shock waves that shake and rattle the aircraft. In the early and mid-1940s, pilots had flown faster than sound but only in a dive, and they usually didn't recover to tell engineers about it. Wind tunnels were equally useless for gathering supersonic data, since the shock waves that shook aircraft in flight bounced off the walls and rattled models. What engineers needed was a research aircraft. Fell answered the call with the X-1. Designed after a bullet which was known to travel faster than sound on level flight leaving the barrel of a gun, it held 8,000 pounds of fuel and was painted bright orange so it could be seen in the sky. To conserve that fuel for the all-important powered flight, the X-1 was launched from underneath a B-29 bomber. The morning of October 14th was U.S. Air Force General Chuck Yeager's eighth flight in the X-1. He fell from the B-29 at 20,000 feet. He lit all four rocket chambers in his XLR-11 engine and reached Mach 0.88. He shut off two of the rocket chambers, but momentum kept him accelerating past Mach 0.92. When he turned on a third rocket chamber, he hit Mach 0.96. Then he reignited the fourth chamber. The Mach meter on his X-1's dashboard seemed to fail. The needle tipped right off the scale. Bell engineers hadn't thought to put numbers on the Mach meter higher than one. That's how much faith they had that their aircraft could break the sound barrier. Yeager's top speed that day was Mach 1.06. Yeager's flight opened the skies, and ten years later, almost to the day, Sputnik opened space. Sputnik was launched as part of the International Geophysical Year. The 17-month period of solar activity between July 1957 and December 1958 that scientists around the world agreed to study in tandem. Both the United States and the Soviet Union had announced their intentions to launch satellites as part of their I-G-Y efforts. But the Soviets got there first. Sputnik was launched on October 4, 1957. It was a simple, shiny ball filled with batteries and equipment that emitted a beeping sound radio operators worldwide could listen in on. The beep changed depending on temperature. President Eisenhower wasn't too worried about Sputnik. He knew, as did scientists in the still nascent world of rocketry, that the satellite was incredibly simplistic. But the American people saw Sputnik was large, 184 pounds, which meant that the rocket that launched it could easily send missiles halfway across the world. The beep was construed as menacing, broadcasting a secret code or picking up locations of major cities. It wasn't, but fear spread nonetheless. Eisenhower's response was to speed up America's satellite program. He'd already decided that the Navy would have the first shot at launching a U.S. satellite on its Vanguard rocket. Vanguard was a missile without military applications, unlike the Army's Redstone. Eisenhower turned Vanguard's third test launch into the country's first satellite launch attempt. This decision didn't please the Army, which had Werner von Braun and a team of German engineers working at its ballistic missile association on the Jupiter-C rocket, a member of the Redstone rocket family that was ready and able to launch a satellite into orbit. When Vanguard failed spectacularly on live television in December, the Army was given a launch window for the next month. They worked out well. As January 31st rolled over onto February 1st, 1958, Explorer 1 reached orbit. This episode of interservice rivalry and infighting proved to Eisenhower that the nation wouldn't get anywhere in space, either in the name of military defense or peaceful exploration, with the bodies in charge divided. Fearing Soviet militarization of space, Eisenhower created the Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA, which was later renamed DARPA, in February of 1958, to develop space technology for military application. But he didn't want space to be purely a military domain. Recall that he'd chosen Vanguard over Redstone because Vanguard didn't have military applications. A civilian space effort was signed into existence in July 1958 through the National Aeronautics and Space Act. The NASA we know today began operations on October 1st that same year. See you next month!


Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us this week. I'm here to kick off our third annual event in India, GitHub Constellation. We have so many great sessions for you, and I hope you enjoy them. I want to share three stories with you today. One about open source, one about enterprise, and one about education. My first story is about open source, and open source has won. If you think about it, open source is one of the very first creator communities. We often think about creators now as YouTube or TikTok stars, but open source maintainers have been the stars of the software world for over 20 years. And I want to introduce you to a creator and open source. His name is Karthik Ayer. Karthik is a software engineer, JP Morgan Chase, and he credits open source and the open source community for his success and for learning how to code. He was introduced to open source at his university, and he was able to turn his passion for movies and TV into meaningful open source contributions, including writing a small piece of code that became part of the Disney and Pixar Luca movie. You can read more about Karthik's story on the Read Me Project site. Karthik wants to become a full-time open source creator and leader someday. And here at GitHub, we wanted people like Karthik to have the opportunity and support to do that. So in 2019, we launched GitHub Sponsors as a way for you as a maintainer to sustain your project and for you as a consumer to financially support the people and organizations who design, build, and maintain the open source projects you depend on. Sponsors helps make open source a viable career path for people to create and contribute to our digital infrastructure. Karthik is a developer on GitHub, and you may already know this, but here at GitHub, we put the developer first. And we do that with everything we do, with every decision that we make, with every product we design, with every process we are thinking about. We always put the developer first. And we do this not only because we are a developer company, but we realize that the later you get developers involved in the process, the worse outcome companies have. For example, when finding security issues in production. When we put the developer first, we are empowering them to solve issues before they appear. We're helping you write safer and more secure code, ultimately allowing you to have more time to be creative. And this approach has helped GitHub to grow to community of over 73 million developers, including people like Karthik and more than four million organizations. But beyond that, when I look around, I see that every developer is effectively a GitHub customer because you are downloading all your dependencies, all your packages, everything you do in your development lifecycle is somehow connected to GitHub. And of course, open source collaborates on GitHub. We call all this the interconnected community. There is no single company that can out-compete open source for innovation. Every line of code that is written at GitHub, at our customers' companies, and by open source maintainers, effectively builds on the work of thousands of other developers from around the world. We have seen India-based companies consuming and contributing more and more open source code in the last year, and there's been so much innovation and growth at companies like Infosys. So my second story is about how Infosys uses GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Advanced Security to collaborate and share their expertise with customers and the world. Infosys is on a journey to achieve excellence and become even more resilient. With hundreds of thousands of employees working in practically every industry, they use GitHub to collaborate and write secure code. And they do this in an environment that increases developer velocity and happiness. Since adopting GitHub, Infosys has seen a 20% increase in velocity. How amazing is this? This is why I love working at GitHub, helping developers stay focused on doing what they love to do, being creative by writing code. And it's not just large enterprises. Startups are using GitHub to innovate and be part of the interconnected community. Last year, we expanded the GitHub Accelerate program that supports startups in their growth journeys by providing access to GitHub's Enterprise products. And we now have over 500 startups in this program, which is fantastic. Thank you so much for participating. We are seeing all kinds of startups coming into the program from e-commerce, fintech, consumer apps to SaaS and software infrastructure companies. Not only are open source teams, startups and large enterprises building on GitHub, but students turn to GitHub to start their journey and learn how to build software. In fact, we nearly doubled the number of students on GitHub in India in the last year. The students are creating a number of amazing things and we wanna support their growth through GitHub externships. A program that helps connect students with companies in India to gain on the job experience and succeed in an enterprise environment. Since launching last year, we have announced two cohorts of the externship program and have placed over 150 students into 39 partner organizations. And we also now have over 80 GitHub Campus experts based in India that support our growing developer community. They strive to build inclusive spaces to learn, share their experiences and build projects together. And he has a great example. Hi everyone, I'm Khush Buvarma. I'm from India and currently I work as a software engineer. Hey everyone, my name is Kunal Khush Wahaa and I'm currently an undergraduate student from India. I joined the GitHub Campus Experts Program in April 2018 and it has been a wonderful ride since then. To me, the GitHub Campus Expert Program means an opportunity for me to grow as a student leader and also to bring opportunities and resources to my local community. So I joined the Campus Experts Program last year in 2021. I believe it or not, I applied quite a lot of times, I think twice before I got selected. And I think one of the things that kept me going were the community members. As a GitHub Campus expert, we organize multiple events on campus. These events include sessions on technologies, hackathons or just networking events. In these events, we ensure that we bring together a diverse set of audience and we cater to all of their needs. This helps in establishing relationships and also helps people improve the technical and interpersonal skills. The most important thing that I learned being a part of the Campus Experts Program is how to scale communities. If you want to start a school, you cannot be the only teacher. You need to get more folks involved and give up control. And the second most important thing that I learned was even though we are called Campus Experts, you don't have to be an expert to start contributing or even applying to the program. Because of the GitHub Campus Experts Program, I got multiple opportunities. One of them was to become the GitHub Field Expert for India Region and being a GitHub Field Expert, I organized India's first ever GitHub Field Day where we brought together 150 student community leaders from all over India and provided them a platform to come together, collaborate, ideate and enhance their relationships. Speaking of opportunities, GitHub provides a lot of support for your events, your content. For example, I created a tutorial on GitHub and it got close to half a million views after it was published on the GitHub Campus Experts website. You also get to be a part of the huge network of Campus Experts and program managers around the world who teach you quite a lot. After graduating from the GitHub Campus Experts Program, I joined Microsoft as a software engineer and I think that the program helped me learn a great deal of skills. It helped me improve my technical and interpersonal skills and also made me more empathetic as a leader. So I'm a final year student in tech with a lot of career paths in front of me and I believe the GitHub Campus Experts have introduced me to the world of developer relations and I'm looking forward to applying all the knowledge that I have gained as a Campus Expert in the real world when I'll be joining full-time. Thank you, Kashboo and Kunal, for sharing your stories with us. As a developer first company, we love to work with all of you to make GitHub and the communities that build on our platform a better place. And so when we think about software development today, it is no longer the stereotypical solitaire developer. It is a group, a team-sport collaborating with each other. It's a global team of developers collaborating from around the world. So I wanna leave you with three takeaways. One, open source has one. If you are an open source maintainer, you're working on some of the most exciting stuff. Developers from around the world are working and collaborating together on open source. Two, the interconnected community is a powerful one. Open source, education and enterprises, we are all in it together. We are building the future of software in our mission is to accelerate human progress through developer collaboration. And three, we are committed to India. We are committed to growing GitHub in India, to hiring in India, to supporting Indian developers, maintainers and students by giving back through programs to GitHub sponsors, accelerate the open source boot camps and externships. And you know, it was only a few short years ago that GitHub didn't even have a presence in India. Over the last two years, we have heavily invested by growing an engineering team, by growing a customer success team, by working with you. And I'm happy to announce that India's community of developers that use GitHub has grown to more than 8 million and we are just getting started. And I hope you are as excited as I am. Enjoy the next few days at GitHub constellation.


Good afternoon, Pastor David. Hey, John. Welcome everybody to a random moment with Pastor David unfiltered. Thank you guys for tuning in and and Happy Thursday, right? Oh, yeah, very happy. You know pastor as we were speaking earlier about Calvary Chapel Association and Calvary Chapel Global Network, there seems to be still confusion about what's going on in between The two are you able to shed some light about this and and what the confusion really is about with the two Going on. That's a very difficult Question to answer because the answer is a little more complicated than than one might first Think There may be people watching right now, John that don't know what CCA or CGN is CCA is Is is the Calvary Chapel Association that is made up of a board that was appointed by Pastor Chuck to oversee all the Calvary Chapel Ministries both in the United States and internationally pastor Chuck wanted to to continue the direction of Calvary Chapel and Knowing that he was about to go home to be with the Lord Chuck had appointed a board of number of men to oversee the the Ministry of Calvary Chapel. It's not that we are the The ones who who how do I put it? It's not that we have some form of authority to Act as like a Denominational Council, but rather we were simply placed in a position To be there to help people to become associated as Calvary Chappals or to deal when requested with problems that may be found in a Calvary Chapel and When need when needed we would be the ones who had the authority to request that people no longer call themselves by that name And so Chuck had a board of several men That he that he determined he had prayed about and sought the Lord for and and So it originally had expanded somehow. I'm not sure how that happened into a group larger than the one that pastor Chuck had initially Named and so what happens is? After Chuck goes home to be with the Lord There were differences in direction and vision and philosophy and and one of the brothers Brian Brian Brodersen Decided that he felt that it was right that he move in a direction that was consistent with how the Holy Spirit works in him And then there were others including myself Who decided to remain in the direction that we had grown up in learned and had been practicing for 40 some years? And so global network is led by pastor Brian and Numbers of people that he's placed in that position the global Network is is not the same as the Calvary Chapel Association Calvary Chapel Association has a board of about 11 or 12 of us I'm part of that board and our responsibility is to just do the things I mentioned earlier is to oversee and to enter into Disputes or be of help when when asked and all and that's basically it. I don't know the vision of The global network. I don't know how it's spelt out. I've never really been interested in it Brian is still somebody that I love and all I don't have any dispute with him or The the men who have chosen to follow the vision that he has I just Remained Faithful to what I've been taught by my pastor Chuck Smith And so the Calvary Chapel Association and the global network are not the same in terms of our direction I know the direction that we go because it's the direction. I've been going for over 40 years I'm not I'm not sure what the global network is doing or going What direction they may be going in but it isn't the same as as what we are doing it there are differences and all and You know, that's basically it John is there and of course there's a rife conflict because of this there's Has been almost a fierce division over this and what people's ideas are and people's thinking they are and and as you mentioned is that you're doing the vision that you have been given and the doing what you have been called to do I think that people who who and there have been some who have have Had been to have been divided. There's no doubt about that there have been some but I Don't know what I don't know why I You know Pastor Chuck used to say it like this. He said People may not know this about him. So but I'll quote him don't go away mad. Just go away Pastor Chuck wanted us to have unity of spirit and direction and all and he wanted us to To move in the direction the Holy Spirit had led us as Calvary Chapel pastors go that's basically all he wanted us to do and There are those who for some reason feel that they need to take it in a new direction Well and taking it in their new direction. They're they're creating something new So rather than referring to it as Calvary Chapel, they may want to call it Calvary They may want to call it whatever I mean some other name because it's not What it what it was with us over all of these years. It's not that it's something different and the ones who are Who are most insistent that things are things are there are problems are the ones who have no idea What they're talking about to be honest with you? They've never been in any of the meetings They never were any in any of the things that related to the the movement that that We have been involved in and Brian has chosen. They've never been in any of those They basically are just adding their two cents when when they're speaking with the lack of information and so I Don't have a personal problem with any of those guys. I you know, they're my brothers in the Lord They're going in a different direction and and we're going in the direction that we know the spirit has led us in and so I Think that it's unfortunate that there are those who keep adding their two cents and keep stirring the pot I I think it really could have been better handled We'll say at the beginning if we'd have just agreed to disagree and to move in whatever direction God led us to Because I believe very strongly in the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace and we could have retained that and maintained that had we Take it into consideration How others are going to act and what they're going to say and and the things over time that have been have been Communicated but bottom line is you know, I just kept my hand on the plow. I'm just working the same field I'm using the tools that that I've been using now for many years My roots are solidly Calvary Chapel. They're That the way I teach and the things that I believe they're Calvary Chapel, you know, and and Others have their ideas and I think that they ought to just admit to the fact that they're different and move off in a different Direction, I think that would probably be a good idea. Well, thank you pastor for Shedding some clarity on on that because there is some confusion and people are you know, what's the movement the association? What's global network doing and and it's caused some conflict and division and and Oftentimes often here. Well, we're serving the same God We're serving the same and still brothers and the Lord as you pointed out And so it goes beyond that in a lot of ways, but there has been confusion and I appreciate you I think that that I think of it if I may one last thought I think of it kind of like this, you know And this may provoke some people I served in the army We have the Marine Corps. We have the Air Force, you know, we have the Navy Every one of the branches of service are representative of the United States and so as a soldier I Have always and and do appreciate every branch Because every branch has a necessary thing that it does. There's no division in my heart with the military John I I regard the Marine or I regard the naval guy or they are force or Coast Guard whatever I I regard them as a necessary part in our entire armed forces But if somebody wants to sit down and say well, we're the better or we're more necessary That's where the that's where the conflict comes in. I am I am Calvary Chapel The only thing I know is Calvary Chapel. It's not a denomination though It's a philosophy. It's a way of ministry and it's a way of thinking Others want to say well, I'm of this well, you know, God bless you, you know, do as God calls you do those things But let's not compare Let's not create a division and and let's not like right now somebody maybe I'm gonna tell you what I'm thinking Well, frankly, if you've never been in one of the meetings, just don't do that You have no idea what you're talking about none at all. So keep it to yourself Or find a group of people that you can talk to about it But don't talk to us about it because you don't know what you're talking about. You don't know All I know is this is ultimately we're gonna join hands in heaven We should love one another on earth and it's all gonna be fine at the end. Amen. Well, thank you pastor And thank you so much for clarifying and hope you guys enjoy this because there are a lot of questions And there is a lot of comparisons and they're doing this and they're doing that Well, it's important that we just keep our eyes on what God's called your hand on the plowing. Just just do your work Amen. Well, thank you pastor David. Thank you guys for tuning in Do want to invite you to our Sunday services at 8 30 and 10 45 and this week pastor You're teaching on the parable of the fig tree and you're also implementing Ezekiel 37.

Well hello and welcome to Understand Men Now. I'm your host Jonathan Asley of JonathanAsley.com and I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today. Our topic how to be more open with a man by leaning in. Okay we're gonna talk about this leaning in versus the leaning back. Really quickly if you're new to my YouTube channel please hit the subscribe button and hit the bell so you can be notified of new content. Okay we're gonna talk about how to be more open with men with a man by leaning in. Really quickly before we get started it happens to be some news I want to share with you and it's today is my birthday. So for our video today I got myself a little cupcake and I've got a little candle. I'm gonna make a wish. I'm gonna share some things with you that are personal and then I'm gonna get into how to be more open with a man. Happy birthday to me. In fact if you want to give me a birthday wish please post a comment below I'd be honored if you share it a wish with me and I'm gonna share I'm gonna tell you what my wish is at the end and I know that's breaking protocol but I think it's worth it. So my birthday actually this past week I did something for myself my birthday and I did a spiritual journey. I took some plant-based medicine to open myself up to a deeper level of consciousness and if you're not familiar with plant-based medicine just Google plant-based medicine. I'm not gonna share what it is publicly but I'm just gonna say that I had an amazing experience with the help of a shaman husband and wife to go deeper and one of the things I and it was about being open how can I be more open how can I be more open and one of the questions I asked the medicine was I'd like to have a message from Connor and for those who know me know that my 19-year-old son Connor passed away two years ago so and I and you know birthdays are kind of one of those times where I spent with him so I'm reflecting also a little bit about him as well but I asked him so one of the things I did was I asked his spirit for a message and the medicine responded and this was an amazing spiritual experience going inward journey and he gave me this great message he said and I said Connor what message do you have for me and he goes dad stop asking me this question I gave you the message already in fact you wrote a book about the message what the heck is self-love anyway what the heck is self-love anyway it's my book it's the t-shirt I'm wearing it's the picture there and it's the picture there he said look I gave you the message when I passed and that was to love on yourself and to love others to love on yourself and to love others and I sat with that and I recognized that his passing led me on a journey I began writing the book two months after he passed and I published it nine months after he passed and I began doing speaking gigs around the book I started to talk on podcasts and such and as I reflected more on this experience and what's great about my book it's a it's a personal develop it's a book about an invitation for a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work is a daily practice and at the end of the book I share some of the great resources that I can think or that I believe have helped me and my invitation is to help you so again it's what the heck is self-love anyway there's a link to the book below to check it out but how does this relate to being more open to men well the fact is ladies if you want to be more open to a guy then you have to be more open to yourself and this is why I want to invite you to lean into yourself lean into yourself be careful this leaning back conversation because the terminology of leaning back now I understand if you're in a relationship and you've crossed the 50 yard line okay so a relationship should be met at the 50 yard line if you've crossed the 50 yard line as he's hanging out the 20 then yes come back to center but I'm here to say lean into being present lean into your sovereignty lean into your self-worth lean into your self confidence and if you've not wanted to know how to lean in then I invite you to read some of the amazing books that I recommend one of which and this is my Bible it's called the untethered soul by Michael Singer the untethered soul by Michael Singer I want you to lean into this book it's gonna help you talk to the voices in your head because the voices in your head is oftentimes what sabotages your relationship with men whoa the voices in my head could be sabotaging my relationships with men yes this is why you have to check out this book along with if you're not familiar with the four agreements you have to check this out and become a master at the four agreements because if you want to be in relationship with another human being you have to begin a real amazing relationship with yourself and so this message Connor gave me about self-love was really about really opening myself up and that's my invitation for you is to become more open and receptive to love by loving on yourself because if you lean into yourself you're going to be become a magnetic attractor for attracting a great guy into your life this is why if you're not familiar this isn't the book this is the CD I got as a gift return to love by Marianne Williamson return to love by Marianne Williamson please get this book because it's about remembering your divine goddess and God within you that divine person within you and return back to love and approach the dating process from a more compassionate place for yourself and for others and so when Connor gave me the message it was really simple he said loving on yourself is the antidote to being open and receptive to love hence why I'm part of the self-love club and I want you to be part of the self-love club that club is first get my book okay I've been pitching my book a lot but it's my birthday cut me some slack so I think you get the gist of this I want to suggest though that it's not about loving yourself 100% it's about continually working on oneself and then choose a partner that's doing the same look I've said in previous videos there's only 5% of the male population or female population that is really transcended their healing that's the the mother Teresa's and Gandhi's of the world and certainly there's the Jeffrey Jammers and the Lizzie Borden's of the world we're not looking for that five to ten percent most everybody's in the middle but what I'm saying is choose a partner that's leaning towards improving on themselves that's doing introspective work that's that's that's emotionally mature and if you're not familiar with my video on emotional maturity check out the video somewhere below here it's the five signs of emotional maturity one of which is those men that take personal responsibility for those choice their choices back to my coaching program I'll shoot a video on this the five questions to ask a man before you give your heart that's going to be coming up soon so definitely be on the lookout for that hit the subscribe button so you make sure you get it but that's my invitation for you is to become more open within yourself so you don't sabotage yourself with men because when you're loving on yourself you are a magnetic attractor to really great things in your life and I say this as a testament to my own life because despite all the tragedy and up evil I've had in the last few years I've also drawn in some amazing blessings and that is the awareness of love is the antidote self love is the antidote to all inner suffering and I've recommended these books so you can feel good about yourself you can feel lovable you can feel likable and you'll be more open to men because you've leaned in got it okay I said I was gonna share what my birthday wish with I've got two which I think is really important to here my wish is for you to love on yourself so much that you become that magnetic attractor that's my first wish and my second wish is to call in my soulmate yes I'm calling in my soulmate in fact I it realized that my YouTube channel is a great venue to reach out to women to see who I am and maybe you can start your own YouTube channel so men can see you wouldn't that be great if more people get to see who we are then we're not strangers to anyone and that's really the challenge with dating is when we meet strangers it's hard to break that barrier in fact I'm gonna shoot another video about how to see those amazing high quality guys when you understand this one secret how to bring back those strong masculine men but yes that's my wish for myself is to call in my soulmate I mean I'm ready for you you are welcome to knock on my door drop the hanky I will put in the effort if you meet me on the 50 yard line I'm gonna meet you on the 50 yard line so that's my wish for myself today it's my birthday happy birthday to Jonathan and feel free to leave me a birthday message as well alright I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do first off giving myself a big gigantic Jonathan bear hug I'm gonna give you a gigantic by the way I'm giving myself a gigantic Jonathan bear hug of self-love I'm giving you a hug of love I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone and give them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love and we can all use more love in our lives thank you so much wishing you a super duper wonderful fantastic day thanks bye bye now


Hi again, in this video we're going to talk about that how to find which HTML5 engine is right for you. Today we have a lot of JS frameworks for making games. We can find a list of most popular engines at html5gameengine.com. Here we have a list of 22 unique engines. Many game makers are writing game engines for themselves, but it would be better to use one of the game engines that already exists. How to find the best technology, the best engine for our games? Each engine listed here has its own strengths and weaknesses. Also, some engines are being more maintained than the others. A lot of them are free to use and few of them are not. For example, Construct2, ImpactJS and GameMaker have their prices listed here. I suggest you to go slowly through the list to explore this list and to find the right one game engine for you. For me, for example, first 8 engines from the top of the list based by popularity are great choices, but maybe you'll need to have some other specific futures in your games and for them maybe better choice will be some engine that is not on the top of the list. I'm also familiar, for example, with Koko, 2DX and for example PandaJS and KiwiJS. They are not currently at the top of this list by popularity, but that not prevents me to use them when I'm making video games. So, in this video, see you in the next video, bye-bye.
