This is Doctomer 11203. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 double cab long box work truck. This truck has the 6 liter V8 motor. It has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this truck is 100% ready to go. Silver ice metallic is the color we shoot all of our videos in 1080p 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device, turn them on right now because it is definitely your best way to check out the quality and condition of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And if you want to check out all the photos on this truck in the upper right hand part of your screen is a link to our website. Click that and check us out there. This one comes with the factory painted alloy rims. Really nice condition on here and it has Kumho road venture LT26570R17 tires and these tires have right around 60% of the tread left on them. This truck has been under coated. It was under coated before we got it. So that was done prior to us. Front fenders in pretty nice shape. Has the projector lamp headlamps, chrome trimmed grille. The front bumper is in excellent condition. I didn't see any dents or dings on that. And the hood is in really nice shape. Comes with a bug shield too. Passengers side fender is in absolutely perfect condition. And the passenger side rim no scuffs or scrapes on that. As you go down this side of the truck take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just have not been able or aren't able to make the trip down you can still see the truck here the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So then when you do get here there's no surprises. And that is why we offer the summit auto fast pass option in the upper right hand part of your screen. A link right to our website where you can apply for financing. Get pre-approved. See a payment quote. Even a praise of trade all from the comfort of your own home. So when you get here all you got to do is drive the truck. Love it. You'll be all set to go. Back tires have just a little bit less tread than the front tires. Frame and underbody like I said has been under coated. Look at those box rails there in really nice shape. I didn't see any corrosion on them. That's where you always want to look on trucks are those box rails. But the rest of the truck underneath is in really nice condition. All the lower rockers look really good as well. Didn't see any corrosion on them has some nice factory chrome step bars. And down the rest of the side of the box looks really good as well. Coming to the back rear bumper is in nice shape. You can see any major imperfections on that does have the rear bumper steps full towing package which includes receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring does have a locking tailgate has a factory Chevy tonneau cover on it comes with a bed mat and it also has led bed lighting up there tailgate shuts nice and solidly and as you go down the driver's side just as clean as that passenger side lower rockers all look really good probably because it has mud flaps on it for full disclosure this back rim is in nice shape as well. And down the rest of the side of the truck looks really good. Doors look good does have the telescopic tow mirrors with the built in directional signals led side lights a telescope out like that they also fold in like so. When you turn those side lights on with the cargo lamps that's also how you turn on your lights in the bed seats are in nice shape no major rips or tears on them it does have the heavy-duty rubber floors auto headlamps tilt steering wheel factory brake controller power windows power locks power mirrors and we'll hop inside here and check out instrument cluster here you can see this truck has 46,345 miles instrument cluster is nice and clean and you do get a compass display on there steering wheels in nice shape you do get cruise controls on the left six speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift so it has the Chevy my link system AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities on here and it does have your bluetooth capabilities as well you can also do projection so if you've got a navigation system on your cell phone you can project to your screen through ways or I'm through I'm sorry for through android auto or apple carplay navigation systems such as ways or google maps you can project to the screen and use it through the screen that's pretty cool there down here your climate controls your stability control your cargo lamps that's how you turn those led side lights on and then you have your heated mirrors button there as well four by four shifter on the floor passenger side floor mat and seat are in excellent condition as well and a headliner is in very nice condition on this truck too smells very clean in here I don't think it's ever been smoked in you do get map lights up there and then this button indicates that you have the snow plow prep package on this truck on star and SOS buttons in the mirror and we'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll start it up and check out under the hood back seats are just as clean as the front seats no rips or tears back here it does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have and then it does have a storage compartment underneath here which is pretty nice we'll start it up take a quick look under the hood starts right up no check engine lights or anything like that side lights they are super bright under the hood we have the six liter VA motor engine base very clean but very smooth this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change all the fluids have been checked and topped off truck has been gone through mechanically 100% and is 100% ready to go see more pictures of this truck or one of rather 450 new and used cars trucks scvs minivans wranglers half tons three quarter tons one tons you name it we got it go to our website right there www.summitauto.com full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations all at summitauto.com and if you'd like to check out more hd videos you can go to youtube.com slash summit auto remember to like subscribe and share on this video and all the videos that you see there in fact in a second you will see link to subscribe to our youtube channel on your left links more Chevy 2500 truck videos like this one on your right if you've not been to our website on the bottom link to this vehicle on our website click those check us out we really look forward to helping with this super clean 2016 double cab long box work truck and silver ice metallic thanks again for checking out the video


Welcome back to theCUBE's coverage of NVIDIA's GTC24. I'm John Furrier with theCUBE. Dave Vellante and I are here on the ground with our analyst team and theCUBE and of course SiliconANGLE team coverage of NVIDIA GTC. This is an amazing event. As AI kind of goes mainstream in both enterprise and cloud infrastructure and distributed computing. It's a systems revolution. It's computer science, tailwind of epic proportions. We've got a great guest here. CUBE alumni, Priyank Patel with Cloudera, Vice President of Product and ML and AI at Cloudera. No stranger to big data. CUBE alumni, great to have you on. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me, John. So we were talking before we came on camera about the big data. And this is when the CUBE started 14 years ago and in the Cloudera office, right when they got their Series B funding. And I'll never forget. Amar Awadallah at that time and the founders. They didn't know Hadoop was going to be big and they thought maybe we should get some people in the industry to create a little ecosystem. Because then he was going to get an ecosystem and then boom, big data went big, a lot of hype. And then everyone realized that this is a game changer. Okay, fast forward to today. Now we have cloud scale, next generation cloud happening. You had cloud 1.0 with Amazon web services. Now you got cloud 2.0 kind of happening with kind of next gen cloud companies like Snowflake, Cloudera, building on top of clouds.  They're built on AWS. So they have an ecosystem, MongoDB, you guys have been successful. So cloud's enabling a lot of value, incomes AI, generative AI, not pre-programmed world that we used to live in, databases, go fetch a response, query, build a report, have a dashboard. I mean, it seems so boring now looking back. What do you think? What's your reaction on this? It's interesting you mentioned AI. With AI, one of the key things that governs AI is the data that you're going to feed it. Your AI is only as smart as the data you can give it. And if you think about it going back 10 years, Cloudera with data management, and we wrote the wave of the cloud, but we always had our roots starting in the data center, which is really where large amounts of data is still managed, even despite of there being a large amount of public cloud related data management. And that's really what Cloudera does today. We are a hybrid data platform that manages about 25 exabytes of data in both public and private clouds. AI matters, why? Because bringing AI to where the data is is much, much, much easier than taking all that data and moving it to wherever the AI models are running. So we are excited because we have the opportunity with what NVIDIA is doing and with the rest of the ecosystem to bring that AI compute and the innovation directly to where the data is sitting, which is in our systems. It's interesting, I'm not going to compare NVIDIA to Cloudera, obviously NVIDIA stock price is going to be a trillion dollar valuation. But if you think about the legacy of NVIDIA, they're in ray tracing, doing some graphics, you had, you had Tensor composed into all the machines and then AI is their friend becomes their, that trend becomes their friend. And then I won't say pivoted, they just wrote on top of that. Cloudera has similar DNA and big data with Hadoop and as that's changed with the data platform, what is the bet that Cloudera is making right now? Because like NVIDIA have a trajectory of experience, what's the Cloudera bet from a product standpoint right now as you look at this next way? Because it's a great opportunity to learn from the experiences and not pivot, but like step up to the new opportunity. Absolutely, like we are definitely seeing a big opportunity with bringing the AI compute and that goes from tuning models to running rag applications to inferencing models to building the final applications where the data is managed. And we have a strong heritage as I said in managing large scale data for 14,000, 5,000 enterprises. So the largest customers in any industry, they are customers of Cloudera managing petabyte scale data, exabyte scale data. Our nearest competitor is a couple names that you just said earlier. We are a thousand times more data under management than one of the competitors you just said that was just public cloud, right? And so that's where the opportunity is is to if the explosion with AI and analytics and applications driven by AI can be brought closer to the data, that's an opportunity we see for our customers and win for our customers and win for us. Priyanka, open source has been a big discussion. Not much mentioned here at NVIDIA because they're kind of proprietary as someone might say to them, but I'm cool with proprietary starting and constrained in the market. NVIDIA's got a great opportunity. I won't say they're proprietary, but I guess I just did, but let's just go to the LLMs. If you look at the growth of LLMs right now, the proprietary ones, it's funny how they call them proprietary, OpenAI, Anthropic, those proprietary or foundation models, whatever they're called today, the growth of those things are great, but if you look at Lama and Mestrel for instance, they're catching up in both scope, size and adoption, almost, I think it hasn't crossed over yet, but it's pretty close to crossing over, so developers are actually using the open source models more than the proprietary models. What does that mean? Does that mean that it's a deliver frenzy? They're just playing around? Because our premise is the developers of the Canary in the coal mine and set the new de facto standards body because they vote with their code. What does that mean? Does that mean it's just a robust environment for developers or is that something more meaningful? No, 100% the trend behind having models that are openly accessible, starting with the Hugging Face community and all the models that you mentioned, that whether it's Lama, whether it's the Google Gemini model or Mestrel and others, all of those are the right entry points for developers to start playing around with these models because it turns out that using those models and tuning them to very specific data to very specific tasks is actually higher performance than a general purpose model that sits behind OpenAI. The OpenAI model knows the world but it doesn't know anything about my business and my business is in my data. If I can take one of the open models you mentioned, combine that with my data, now I have my AI which is really a differentiator that I would care if I was an enterprise trying to build something that was durable for the future instead of mortgaging my future with a closed model which I can move fast on but I can't own it in the future. So one of the things that Jensen pointed out that something that we've been seeing on theCUBE and CUBE Research for about a year now, he kind of maybe most simplified it a little bit into two areas in the enterprise. Two big opportunities, one, app developers and they have this thing called a NIM NVIDIA inference microservices, basically an API. Okay, they call it the AI Foundry, whatever. Just put that there as app developers. AI enabling my applications, that's cool. Okay, check, I can see that happening and data will be a big part of that. The other area is enterprise IT platforms, quote, sitting on a goldmine of data exhaust. Remember that phrase, data exhaust spins into data gold. So he identified those two areas. App developers, modernizing and AI enabling applications and then two, taking advantage of either the tools or proprietary data in the enterprise that now becomes intellectual property. Do you agree, what's your reaction to that? I 100% agree on that and that's really why we are partnering and integrating NIMs directly inside Cloudera because if you go back to the developer, when you look at from the app developer's perspective and we often do that, the framework of all the software that's available around the accelerated compute and GPUs that NVIDIA puts out is a lot like assembly code. If you were a developer, I'd say right in assembly, you would make progress, but you would not be as powerful as that. What NIMs does is it actually pulls it up one layer so that I as a developer can actually think about my business logic, think about the data that I have, combine it with the techniques and the optimized models that come in NIMs and then I don't have to think about what I have to do to take the batch size and the parallelism and the data parallelism and the tensor parallelism of the models. So that, it's really the distinction between programming in assembly versus programming at a higher level language and that's what NIMs provides as a building block to combine with the rest of the ecosystem. Is this something you brought up at Sembler because just for the audience, computer science, assembly is low level machine language, registers code, dealing with memory directly, that's a systems programming concept. That's bare bones. I mean, hexadecimal is probably like more like, you know, rebooting the machine and looking at core dumps if you've been in computer science, you know, you don't want to do that, but the advancement in computer science really went, when the main thing went from Sembler to structured query language, or that's right, structured languages, higher level languages. And that was a huge productivity gain for programming. Okay, I got my teeth into that. I never did punch cards, not that old, but it brings back this mainframe concept that you have massive big iron available and now it's going to be available as an AI system. So the question is two things. What's the operating system going to look like? You don't have to answer that right away. That's a rhetorical question. We'll come back to that. And two, how do you develop on that? Because you have to develop a couple of things. You got to write code or interface with the APIs, whether it's NIM or an API management system or an LLM and then you got to figure out, okay, what's my data programming strategy? I need data in my language because unlike Sembler to structured language, just be mentioning, you got to have data available like at a very low latency, horizontally scalable like the cloud. That's not how data has been set up in the past. So the old generation or the current generation is not set up for AI. So how do you get the developers productive when you got to reset the data model and start coding into the new resource base called the AI system?  I'll start out with the first one. There's a bunch of questions over there. I'll start out with the first one, which is how do you get the data accessible to the developers, right? What has happened? And this is where the cloud migration or the cloud wave from last decade really helps us. Why? Because over the last five or seven years, what has really taken root at enterprises is there is separation between compute and storage independent of the AI wave, the separation of compute and storage has happened. So whether it's in the public clouds, on Amazon, Azure, or Google, or on premise, the way people have architected the data platforms, cloud data included, is that you have a separate storage layer, which is directly accessible, and then you have different compute engines that are accessing them, right? To your point, how do you get the data best to the AI? These AI frameworks are coming up with direct access to the underlying data, and they have the way to actually ingest that. There are newer ways of storing data of vector stores being one example of those. And so that is an evolving area that is ripe for innovation, that's number one. And then as you move forward into the actual using of this data and combining it, what really becomes an important factor is how well can you serve it? Or how well can you actually run it? Almost anywhere, and anywhere is the keyword over there. Because if I can only run it on the main frame, arguably the application is not that good, or not that accessible. But if I can run it on your device in the future, or if I can design it such that when the device becomes powerful, I don't have to redesign my application, then I have power. Then I have built an application that is durable to the innovation that is undoubtedly going to happen. This year, as we found out yesterday, and in the years to come. That's a great concept. One of the things we've been talking about on theCUBE is, well, I've been talking about clustered systems. Mainframe is a monolithic machine, but we're living in a cloud era where it's distributed computing. Cloud era, cloud era, cloud era, cloud era. Same thing, play on words there. I can throw a workload at a resource on a distributed computing network.  Okay, you got mainframe power in a distributed computing paradigm. That's the magic here. And if you look at the NVLink switch, what they've done is they've created the NVLink, which brings GPUs together as one. Okay, that's a system. That's not a mainframe. So now, okay, now you've got mainframes everywhere, basically. So what's the workflow look like? Am I going to throw workloads to the appropriate resource, or can I just build a super mainframe-like environment on premise? What do you see there? How do I see that evolving? Because that's the operating model I'm trying to get at. It's like, where does the dots connect here? Yeah, so the dots, in my mind, and how we are building our products, there is going to be, you will need extreme high capacity when you are trying to train models from scratch, or what is called pre-training of models, right? But not everybody in the world needs to pre-train models. There's going to be a large amount of applications and use cases that will be served by starting from a model, tuning it, and adapting it to your use case. The amount of compute required for that secondary use case, for the second half of what I described, is 100 to 1,000 X lower than pre-training the models. And that's where the dichotomy exists. You will need DGX Clouds, which is another, which is what NVIDIA provides, a cloud of thousands and tens of thousands of GPU-powered machines that you need to go there to the supercomputer equivalent. But when you're done training the model, then you can bring it into these piecemeal, eight-card machines or other parts that you can actually run in your data center or rent it out from a regular cloud provider. Both of which are now the piecemeal options that you can do to tune and run your applications. So I think that's the operating model of where AI models are being built. Well, take me through what the customer is going through right now. Obviously, they're transforming in real-time like you guys are and as the industry is. It's a whole another wave. I love this wave. I'm bullish. I've been waiting for this kind of revolution. I've been saying it in the queue for almost eight years now that a tech hippie-like revolution for techies is going to be here where new systems going to emerge. Kind of like the 60s. And I called last summer the summer of AI Love. Look at San Francisco. It's been a boom town in San Francisco area, Bay Area and Silicon Valley for the past year. So you're talking about the smartest people in computer science and specifically systems. You mentioned operating systems and assembler. I mean, obviously you must be a systems guy. So systems thinking is now the new cool thing. I mean, I got to say it. If you asked me 10 years ago, would systems thinking be the cool thing? I would have said, let's say with iterate, design thinking, UX design, that's kind of cooler. But systems thinking is the new hot thing. That's right. It's so funny you said some of the concepts that we find over here are very fundamental in nature because it is redefining how you're doing application building. When you try to build an AI application, it's different than building the three layer application stack that we've been used to from the web era. And I think that kind of thinking itself it's going to be both at the level of systems as well as the level of the developer community where there is massive amounts of people getting trained on it. And as the newer generation of developers get, learn this firsthand, you know, in 20 years there will be developers who learn AI in college, right? And I think the neuro tech geek IQ has certainly grown in mainstream. The Jensen keynote I was talking to Dave in our opening analyst segment, now let's sign the keynote, is that you would have thought that Steve Jobs was in an iPod or something but it was like an HPC keynote. They're talking about deep silicon tech and people are cheering going crazy like they just saw the iPhone. So it was really amazing to see how mainstream, in fact Jensen told me privately that he took the telecom slide off about the 6G research center where they're using AI to actually manage energy on their virtual memos in Omniverse. I'm like, that is so freaking cool. He goes, yeah, I had to kill it because I didn't want to bore the crowd. And he's actually going to make a telephone call in the Omniverse on stage. Now to him, that's like total neuro tech. He had to cut it because he didn't want to scare the crowd. But I think he might have, I think it would have worked. But I mean, that's the level of savvy we're getting in the educated tech audience right now. It's a whole other level. It actually captures the attention and the fancy of the lay person even outside the tech world, right? There's been very few times when my family, my family knows I'm in tech, but they never ask me what I'm doing. The very few times that I actually asked with chat GPD when it came around, when applications like that become mainstream, it really captures the fancy, right? And definitely that's what excites everybody. Yeah, well I got to tell you, I said that all of us inside the ropes in the industry love, have been loving machine learning, machine learning ops, IT ops, AI ops, but the generative AI movement has been a gift for educating everyone on AI to your point, where it was like a moment like the web, remind me of when the World Wide Web showed the first browser, it was like, okay, I see the world is completely different. I can look past the embryonic stages of where it's at and see how people would be using this self-service, discovering information, search engines, multimedia, all that played out. Again, there was a dot cop bubble burst, but now we're in an AI bubble. What's your final takeaway here just to kind of share with the folks like this revolution, this new way to do software, the new way to compute, with cloud kind of not going away either. You got cloud-scaled, public, and that sort of computing. How do you explain all this to the average person? I think some of the basics are not going to change. And we started out with this. You started, the first question was why, why is Cloud AI excited about this? We are excited because it is true that your AI is only as useful as your data is. Ask organizations, the ones where we work with the largest companies in the world how many of them have their data assets managed in a way that they can pull up that data whenever they want it with anybody in the organization? Where if you have actually received that level of maturity despite of all the innovation that has happened in the last decade and more, right? And then those fundamentals are not going to change. In fact, they will be extremely important if you are actually going to make the leaps and bounds that the AI technology and the AI innovation is actually promising, right? And that's really what gets Cloud AI excited about is that we do see that as an opportunity for us to be able to power these applications for our customers. You may have to call it Cloud AI era. Okay, that's a new company name. Yeah. Yeah. Great, thanks for coming on theCUBE. Appreciate it. Great to see you again. And congratulations, head of product over there for AI and machine learning at Cloud AI. I'm John Furrier, the host of theCUBE. We are here in the GTC where you're going to see a conference for the era of AI is here. That's the tagline of the show, NVIDIA GTC. We'll be back. Thanks for watching.


Begin by attempting to praise God And our praise is never enough and then we attempt to thank a law and our thanks Will never ever ever be enough ever And then we remind ourselves. We weren't we're not made for this world This is not our home We're only visitors We're only here for a few moments What are we doing with these few moments? How are we? To our wives our husbands our mothers our fathers our neighbors How are we to those who we like and those that we may not like? We remind ourselves we weren't made we're not made for this world We're only here visitors Strangers We feel like We belong somewhere else this world is the home for the homeless and the one who collects has no intellect Why because everything we collect is going to vanish disappears a dunya daru man la dar ala Our dad our home is in the next about we're visitors here may Allah make it comfortable Asala Allah Al-Afiha The one who collects has no intellect will have a yajma man la aql ala And then we warn ourselves. We're going back to our maker. We're returning to our maker. It's beautiful verses in the Quran in Surat al-Saf the rose or the rink where Allah Allah in amazing way And everything is amazing He says they want to turn off the light of God With their with their speech with their mouths, but Allah will sustain his light Even if the disbelievers hate it.  Oh you who believe Now here's the question the rhetorical question from God to you. Yeah, you have a Dina amin and how I told you come Should I should I direct you? To a business Interesting to a business to a transaction To a trade to a bargain tunjikum min adhabin aleem. It'll save you from the torment of hellfire Of course, y'allah, please please tell me what an amazing business transaction.  Kuntum ta'lamoon. That's better for you if you only knew And if you do that, then what do you get? He'll give your sins where you'd kill come Jannat in Tajrim in tatiha and hard and you'll enter paradise and Rivers flowing beneath when I say I came out I give a and dwellings and houses and homes that are pleasant Fee jannati had in paradise. That's the deal ladies and gentlemen. That's the deal That I got foes and Ali and That is the great victory and that is the deal ladies and gentlemen Believe in Allah his messenger strive with your money and your lives And you get paradise and you get dwellings and you get contentment from God. That's the deal In a remarkable, remarkable way in the beginning in the in the first aqaba Transcendent in the first aqaba pledge allegiance Thus the companions came and the Prophet ﷺ asked them to make promises This is the DNA of Islam and these promises include various Various Promises and there's the first aqaba and the second aqaba. One of them is not to care about what people say about you Don't fear the censure of anyone when you're on God's way Don't fear their censure and and in return you get paradise. So that's the deal That's the covenant. That's the transaction. That's the promise. However, the next diverse is what we're here to talk about interesting and Something else.  What is it? Wa uhra to happen Nasser on Mina Allah Wa Fathun Qareeb I'm gonna give you victory from Allah Nasser from Allah Wa Fathun Qareeb and And a victory that is near help from Allah and a victory that is near and give good news to the believers So this is very interesting Because the deal is that we get paradise, but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says I'm gonna give you the cherry on top I'm gonna give you something you like something you enjoy which is victory help and And openings in other words In other words, it's our job To love the struggle and not be attached to the outcome. That's the takeaway Love the struggle Not the outcome It's our job to take care of the input law takes care of the output. We take care of the micro law takes care of the macro We need we love the struggle We love the struggle. We love the process We love the process the system that we engage in every day We love not we love not not finishing the marathon because that's ending That's the end. We love going on the treadmill every day We love the struggle every day Even if forget the finishing the marathon We love the struggle every day In a in in in in two other places this becomes apparent where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says full in cana aba wukum wa abna wukum Wa ikhwan wukum wa azwaj wukum wa ashirat wukum wa amwal unuqtaraftumuha wa tijaran tun taqshona kassada wa masakinu tarzunaha If these eight things are more beloved to you than these three things then beware then wait Hatta yati Allahu bi amr. What are these? What are the other three things?  Striving and struggling love the struggle. We are attached to the struggle. We're not attached to the outcome It's a very different lens It's a very different lens in a different paradigm And we enjoy the victory and the help and the aid and we ask Allah for that we do We enjoy it. We're wired that way, but it's our job to love the struggle Which is very interesting More beloved to you than Allah his messenger and what he had in fi sabili he and loving the struggle in the other Verses in the Quran where Allah's power talks about people he loves and they love him Ya yuhaladina. I'm a man yertada minkum. I'm deenie. He fa sofa. Yati Allah bi qawmin. You have them He'll bring people that they love him and he loves them and they have four qualities. What are they? Do you love the struggle because it's this culture tells us maximize laziness There's trying to remember a commercial I saw a couple weeks ago which said Epitomizing this culture the epitome of the this idea and it said It's your right to be lazy Backwards the things are inversed and backwards Think think you know so for These four qualities of the people that love Allah and they love him They're gentle with their fellow believers They're strong. They have integrity and dignity and pride when it comes to the disbelievers I'm not here with an inferiority complex to gain your approval. I'm proud to be Islam began as strange will end as strange and congratulations to the strange ones or Islam began as weird and will end as weird as it began Congratulations to the weirdos Sometimes it's better not to fit in if you fit in that actually might be a concern I don't want to fit in today If you're if someone's in a mental health hospital, they don't want to fit in may love cure them all and give them healing But I don't want to fit in Being normal is no longer a healthy ambition and I dare ask is normal actually normal Is normal normal and so these four qualities Gentle on the believers dignity and pride With the disbelievers and what's the third one? They strive for Allah. They strive. They love the struggle Remember the cherry on top is the victory and we ask Allah for victory It's painful It's painful But the lens when we zoom out and we see the bigger picture things start to make sense And everything any problem we have if we stay focused on it The problem is bigger and we zoom out the problem shrinks no matter what the problem is No matter where the problem is in our life Well, I have a lot of them the fourth quality and especially for the young high schoolers and college students and junior high students And everyone and they don't care about when other people talk about them negatively Negatively. Oh look at him. Look at him. What's he doing? He's praying. He's putting his face on the ground Look at her. Why does she have that rag on her head?   You're not like me.  You're not like me You have your way. I have my way You've been saying that probably since you were five years old Maybe unless you learned it later in life. And so the idea My beloved brothers and sisters in this time in this calamitous time increasing time of confusion in this painful time there's this lens that we come with that we all The cherry on top is the victory, but really the deal we make is I'm going to strive for you. Yallah There's this book called uh, I highly recommended Called Atomic Habits It's recommended by many of our teachers and so you highly recommend Atomic Habits and it's the idea that atomic comes from atom An atom is the tiniest building block the smallest building block and yet it has atomic power So with tiny changes remarkable results and this idea if we can actually dismantle The lie of this culture That tells us that we will be So happy when we're lazy If we can dismantle that for a moment and Explore the idea that I want to be energetic No matter what it is that you care about If you want to if you have your dream and you know part of eddab, eddab is placing something in its place Part of eddab is realizing your potential Because god gave you a potential and all and you know it maybe sometimes maybe you forgot it But sometimes it it sparkles and you remember. Yeah, I can do this. Yeah, I can do that. Yeah, I can be this Yeah, I can be that and yes, we can Every single one of us have a remarkable potential. It's not just you know It looks like a miracle from the outside, but you know what it actually is It's actually doing these tiny things every day for a period of time When someone comes out, you haven't seen them for a month a year a decade and you're like mashallah How did he become so smart mashallah? How did he become so strong mashallah? How did he become so religious mashallah? How did he become so much eddab? It's like, whoa, that's a miracle actually It's just this tiny thing that he or she probably did every day. It looks like a miracle from the outside It looks miraculous. Wow because a miracle is something that's out of the norm out of the ordinary Wow, you know why because it's out of the ordinary for people to reach their potential nowadays It's out of the it's very rare for someone to reach their potential Because we've been we've been lied to to say Maximize your laziness and try to with to and get with maximum output Maximize laziness to maximize output If someone can sit on the couch all day with money rolling in the bank. Oh, he hasn't made what? And love the struggle So this is an invitation for myself For you for all of us To actually think about this concept for a moment To love the struggle To love going on the treadmill one minute a day to love Opening a book for one line a day For love to love calling my mom once a day These tiny things and enjoying enjoying and being attached to the struggle Not to the outcome. I'm going to do my part.  We turn to you as the Muslims from California. We turn to you and say, لبك وسعدك يا الله. We're waking up يا الله. We're waking up يا الله. We're here, we're striving to clean ourselves, to clean our tongues, to clean our eyes, to clean our ears, to stop arguing. We're here to clean our transactions. لبك يا الله. We resubmit to you.

Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to a new Zor education. Today we will talk about ropes again, waves on the rope, again as a preliminary to talking about light waves. Now ropes again are very important for the purpose of basically talking about transverse waves. Because light is a transverse ways of electromagnetic field. So we're talking about, generally speaking, about transverse waves, but rope is basically a very convenient way of analyzing how all these waves are propagating. Now what's important about rope is we have derived some differential equations in the previous lecture and today I would like to talk about the energy, which is carried by the waves on the rope. Now, before actually talking about energy, I would like to change the model. So rope is kind of a complicated physical object. Spring, on the other hand, is much easier to handle. And if you noticed, I have started the whole chapter of energy carried by waves with springs, because it's easier. Regardless of the fact that the springs are actually making longitudinal oscillations versus rope, which makes transverse oscillations. But what I'm going to do today is I will kind of reduce the complexity of transverse waves to simplicity of longitudinal waves. It will allow us, in the next lecture, not in this one, sorry, it will allow us to basically research to analyze transverse waves using the apparatus of the longitudinal waves, which I consider to be simpler. Okay. Now, this lecture is part of the course called Physics for Genius. I suggest you to watch it on unisor.com. If you found it somewhere else, like on YouTube or anywhere else, you just have to understand that this lecture is a part of the whole course of lectures. And the whole course contains, well, maybe, mainly lectures, hundreds probably. And they're all organized on the unisor.com. They are all organized using the menus.  Also, on the same website, you can find Math 14's course, which I consider to be a prerequisite. Whatever is in that course is necessary to know before you approach physics. You might actually learn mathematics somewhere else. I don't care. But I would like you to understand that without mathematics, this physics course cannot be addressed at all. Okay. Now, the website unisor.com is completely free. There are no advertisement, no strings attached. You don't even have to sign on if you don't want to. You can just use it, listen to the lectures, solve the problems. And even there are exams on the website, which you can take as many times as you want. It's for your own good, for your own verification, how you basically master the knowledge presented in that website. All right. So back to the ropes. So ropes carry, well, no, the waves basically on the rope carry energy. We know that, obviously. But because, let's say, the waves in the ocean are lifting the ocean liners up and down. So it needs energy. So the waves transverse waves in this particular case. It's basically the way how we propagate energy. Okay. Now, the previous lecture was dedicated to basically analyzing the movement of every individual piece of the rope when it waves. So our model was, this is the rope, and this end is basically forced to go up and down in some kind of harmonic oscillation up and down. So this is my y-axis. This is my x-axis. And the end of the rope was actually forced to do something like this. d of y is equal to a times sin omega t, where a was the amplitude, obviously, of movements up and down. Omega is angular speed of oscillations. And that forces the rope, which is here. It's a long one. You can consider it's an infinite rope. It doesn't really matter. To go in waves, a sinusoidal waves. And this particular condition, if y of x and, sorry, and t is a function. Now, this is x. So this is a function, which describes movements up and down, depending on the time t of this end of the rope, which is at the length x from the origin of oscillations. So we assume this origin has x equal to 0. Now, this piece of the rope, which is basically in question, which we are analyzing, has certain distance x from this. And this describes oscillations up and down. Now, this particular condition can be actually expressed as y of x is equal to 0 and t. Let's put it this way. It's actually d of t. So this describes my initial oscillation, which somebody is forcing up and down. And then it propagates using what we have derived with, we have derived the differential equation in the previous lecture, which is called wave equation. And the solution to this wave equation, I mean there are many solutions, by the way, but the one which we have suggested was this one. So if you substitute x is equal to 0 beginning, you will have exactly this sign of omega t. But as the x goes further, now the whole movements would be basically repeated, but with a certain time delay. Now, before going any further, I would actually like to slightly change our previous lecture's initial condition from this to cosine. And you will see why a little later. Now, it doesn't really matter whether it's sine or cosine. Both describe the harmonic oscillations. The question is where is our time t is equal to 0. Now, before when it was sine, when t was equal to 0, my oscillations were actually initial in the neutral position. If I start with cosine at t is equal to 0, it means my y, my deviation from the neutral position is a, which means I am in the upper position of this rope. So it's the same oscillation. I just slightly change the beginning of time. So whenever my time was with a sine, my time was when my rope was in a y is equal to 0 position. But if it's a cosine, my time starts when I moved up to the amplitude. It doesn't really matter. Just a matter of when we start t is equal to 0. Now, in this particular case, the solution will be this. It's the same thing. And it's more convenient for me, which you will understand why. So this is a given oscillation of the every infinitesimal piece of rope, which is a distance x from the beginning and at time t. So every individual one, every individual piece of rope for every x fixed, as the time goes on, it oscillates up and down with the same amplitude a as the origin of oscillations. But this introduces some kind of a time delay. Now, what is known about this? Well, omega and a are basically set by originator.  So these are parameters given by, now what is k? k is an interesting parameter. Let me just slightly change it. A cosine omega of t minus k over omega. That's the same thing. I just took omega out of the parenthesis. Now, this is actually, if this, if function of t is a cosine omega t, then function of t minus k x over omega cosine omega t. What's the difference between these two functions? Well, again, back to mathematics, the graph of this function is basically shifted to the right from this one by this value. If you will graph it as a function of time t, you will see that this, which means this is basically a time delay. That's what I want to say. This is a time delay. Now, it's not just that. Again, from the previous lecture, we were actually talking about speed of propagation of the waves. And we have come up with the formula that v is equal to omega over k. Now, again, in the previous lecture, if you have these oscillations of the rope, the speed of propagation of the wave front is dependent on the parameters of this particular equation. It was very easily derived. And it was in the previous lecture, if you don't remember, you can always go back and either watch the lecture or read the contents of the lecture, which is on the website, Unison.com, which means, okay, if omega over k is a speed, then k over omega is divided by v. Now, what is this? Now, this is a really very simple thing. If x is a distance from the origin of oscillations, v is the speed of propagation of oscillations, x over v is exactly the time. Sorry, I was too fast. Omega t minus. Then t minus x over v. What is x over v? That's the time which takes for the wave, which is propagating with the speed v, to cover the distance x. So, it has a very physical sense. It's not just abstract coefficient, like in this particular case. In this form, the solution to the wave equation, which describes how our waves are propagating, is very, very clear. Now, omega is really just the angular speed. And x over v is time delay until my next wave will basically reach the point x. Okay, so that's given. Now, let's talk about what I was talking about before, about how to model the wave propagation on the rope with springs. Okay, I think the picture is worth a thousand words. So, if this is your wave, this is your wave at any particular moment. Okay, what I will do, I will introduce a little spring here, a little spring here, a little spring here, here, here. Every infinitesimal piece of the rope I will cut from the rope and attach to a spring. Now, what I am just staging right now, that I can make such springs that will basically oscillate up and down with exactly the same type of equation. Now, if I will be able to do it, I will model basically the movement of every piece of the rope, infinitesimal piece of the rope, with my spring, corresponding spring, and whatever the machinery about the spring, and primarily potential and kinetic energy of the spring, which we have addressed in the first lecture of this particular chapter of the course. Chapter was called Light Energy, and I started this Light Energy from the first lecture, which was basically about springs. And the purpose was that first I was talking about springs, the second lecture was about waves on the rope, and now this I will just combine them together. I will model my waves on the rope with oscillations of infinite number of infinitesimal tiny springs, each attached to a corresponding piece of the rope. So, let's consider that's my goal to arrange it. Now, can I arrange it this way? Can I arrange all these springs in such a way that they will basically oscillate in a way which basically the tops of each spring will exactly be oscillating according to the same equation? Well, the answer is yes, we can, and now let's talk about how. Okay, now, first of all, let's just arrange these springs in such a way that their neutral state, they're all the same, by the way, all springs are the same. So, their neutral position is exactly at y is equal to zero. Now, they can either go up, stretch, or go down, squeeze. Now, if neutral position is at zero, and I will stretch it initially by A, each spring would actually oscillate up and down from plus A to minus A, which is exactly like the oscillation of the rope. So, A is satisfied by initial stretching of all springs to the position A. From this position, they will start oscillating according to which law? Well, A times cosine omega t, right? That's basically our when t is equal to zero, it would be A, and that's my initial stretch. As the t goes, the spring goes up and down. Now, that's why I decided to change sine to cosine here, because I would like to basically have this exactly the same as this one. So, we have satisfied amplitude. Now, omega is something which we have to really make exactly the same as oscillations of this. Now, omega is known from the oscillations of the rope. So, the question is, how can I make such omega actually here? Well, whenever we do S spring oscillations, in spring oscillations, my omega is equal to, okay, omega square is equal to k divided by m, where k is elasticity coefficient, and m is mass attached to the end of the spring. So, how can I make this omega? Now, m, I know what m actually is. m is an infinitesimal piece, which is, if my infinitesimal length is dx, mu is my linear density of the mass. We were talking about this in the previous lecture.  Now, k, I will put index k e, which is elasticity, I want to distinguish this of this k, which is completely different. So, this is elasticity coefficient. It's basically a characteristic of a spring. We can basically make a spring with any kind of elasticity coefficient. Now, since I know the mass and I know what my omega must be, I will choose k e equals to omega square times mu times dx. So, basically, by choosing the proper elasticity coefficient for all these springs, I will satisfy omega. So, now I have a bunch of springs. Each one, if attached the mass, infinitesimal mass mu times dx, would oscillate with exactly this angular speed of oscillations. Now, how can I do this? How can I make this spring to have a time delay based on this spring? Well, here is just plain physical thing. First, we will stretch all the springs to the height a. That's initial position. And we will fix them with some kind of plank, let's say. Then I will move plank to the right, releasing the spring. But I will move it to the right with the same speed, v, as my wave propagation. And v is known again. Since I know everything here, I know this. Now, what it allows me to do is it will release the spring one after another, and each one would be a little delayed relative to the previous one. And since I'm moving my releasing plank, or whatever mechanism is, with the same speed v as speed of propagation of waves, my waves of these will resemble the waves of the rope. And that's my purpose right now. So, I have replaced the oscillation of a rope with individual oscillations of infinitesimal masses attached to these springs. Now, let's go back to what my purpose was. My purpose was to find out what kind of energy the transverse waves are carrying with themselves.  So, in this case, all these masses are moving up and down. And in this case, they're all moving up and down. But energy is transferred somehow. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to find out how much energy is concentrated in one wavelength of the oscillations. Either this or this doesn't really matter, right? Because it's the same pieces of mass attached, in this case, to a rope, in this case, to individual springs. But they carry exactly the same energy because they have exactly the same motions, which means exactly the same forces are acting on these individual pieces of mass. And that's why I can say that I can actually summarize energy of these springs. And that would be exactly the same as the amount of energy, one particular wave of the length lambda, which is wavelengths, is carrying. So, again, I have built the model. That's good, right? Now, I'm basically stating that using this model, I can basically replace the up and down movements of the rope to up and down movements of the ends of these springs. And the same mu times dx individual pieces of mass is attached to each spring here as in each piece on the rope. So, they're moving in exactly the same fashion, which means they have exactly the same energy, potential energy and kinetic energy. And that's what I will actually do, this type of research in the next lecture. I just want to say that what I have to do is, since I know about potential and kinetic energy of every individual piece, every individual tiny string, all I have to do, I have to integrate them on any wavelengths, let's say from 0 to lambda or from 25 lambda to 26 lambda. It doesn't really matter because it's so periodic. So, this integration will give me the amount of energy one particular wave carries. Now, what else is important here? Well, basically that's it. I mean, I have expressed lambda, but that's a technology right now. I don't think we need it. Whenever we will address next lecture the wavelengths, I will derive the value of all the parameters based on individual characteristics of the wave, which we have on the rope. So, that's the explanation of my approach. How do I calculate the amount of energy in one wavelength? You see, it's not really easy because as far as kinetic energy it might be a little easier because we know how each point is moving up and down. As far as potential energy, it's not as easy because it's related to tension of the rope and the tension has all the different angles at different times. Here, the potential energy is much easier. It's basically we have already addressed it many times. If you stretch it by amount of whatever, I don't know why. The potential energy I think is one-half coefficient of elasticity times y square. We have already done this a few times and my first lecture in this chapter devoted to energy is basically about derivation of this formula as well. Now, the next lecture will basically summarize all three previous lectures which I had in this particular chapter. The first lecture was dedicated to spring. The second lecture was dedicated to wave equation for the rope. That's transverse. The third lecture is this one. It combines the spring model using this thing. It combines and uses for the transverse for the rope. The next lecture would actually be about energy of the rope using the model related to springs. Okay, that's it for today. I suggest you to read the notes for this lecture. They're probably a little bit better organized than this particular board. And there is a better picture than this one. But the idea is, again, as I was saying, first longitudinal the springs then transverse the rope. This one combines them together. It models transverse with a bunch of longitudinal oscillations of many, many infinite number of springs actually. And the next lecture will be about the energy and I will use this model to get energy for this. That's it. Thank you very much and good luck.


Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. This week's scrapbook layout is one of me as a little girl, so there I am as a little baby a long time ago and I was a very happy baby, quite pretty chilled, yeah didn't cause too many problems, it's kind of how I am still now, so I wanted to do a scrapbook layout that represented me. So I've just chosen some of my acrylic paints and I'm going to create kind of a rainbow effect, it's not your traditional rainbow in a sense of maybe the colors kind of are but I've wanted that effect so I'm just splodging all of those acrylic paints up the left hand side there. So quite big splodges because I'm going to drag the paint across the page, so yeah I haven't done this before, I just had an idea to do it so who knows how it worked out at that point but fortunately it does end up looking good so I put some copy paper down just to protect the right hand side of when I'm pulling that paint across because there will be some obviously left on the ruler. So you can see now when I drag it it hits the cross over the green is the cross from the copy paper underneath but again it's a mixed media kind of page so I don't mind that it's just I've just got some kind of pattern and texture there that I didn't anticipate but it works. So I went over it twice and I'm just cleaning off the excess there you want to kind of do those things straight away, you don't want to leave that to dry because it's just a pain to get off. So now I'm going to heat set it, I've used a few different brands of acrylic so they all dry shiny but some of them took longer than others but I really like how that's kind of come together. Now I'm going to trim it down because I'm still filling that 10x10 album so I trim it to nine and a quarter by nine and a half. I lose the white from the left and the right there and then I have to take a bit from the left and from the right hand side of the patterned ends because I didn't want to lose the the bottom right there so see where the kind of the orange has kind of gone a bit speckley and again the blue at the top so I take about an inch off because I want to keep that side and then this I just trim off where I went over it so that wasn't you know too much of a loss. Now the photo is old so it's got quite a sepia look to it and the frame around it had gone quite yellowy so I wanted to just cut that off and add a much crisper border and I tended to border you know map most of my photos just to help them lift from the scrapbook layout so I'm just popping it on some just standard white card it was just some scrap and then I'll just get that trimmed down with that one eighth of an inch border around it so now when I sit that against my layout it does lift much better now I'm adding in some of my quarter inch double sided tape and I'm going to add some foil to that which you see me do this technique many times it's just a nice way to add some shine to my layout and also you'll see there those orange splodges all I done is splodged some more of the orange that's on the far right there and I am and I just randomly done it and then grabbed a sandwich bag and just went over put my hands over the sandwich bag and kind of moved the acrylic paint around just to create some splodges I wanted an area a separate kind of background for the photo so now I'm just rubbing that foil over the double sided tape and you will feel it start to lift off so it's such an easy technique this one it's really really handy it's a nice way like I said just to add that shine and then I'm just going to go over any sticky bits that I can still feel and you can just go back over again until that's kind of all gone but it's just it's just fun and again like I said this is kind of mixed media so I wanted lots of different you know materials used lots of different texture that's me it's my personality so now I'm bringing in some polka dots to go over that kind of orangey splodged area so this is the distressed oxide worn lipstick and I'm just going around there just with this is a stamping up stencil that I've had just to create something but it still wasn't enough so I've brought in my black fursafine onyx black so it's this is you know really intense but it's polka dots so you don't it looks pretty sinister now but it when it comes away it's not so bad but it did help again for that photo to just have more of its own area which is what I wanted and I've still kept that coral or orange sorry far right strip of paint you know so you can see that now this happy is from my new toy which is the happy jig the we are memory keepers and it's really good and I'm doing a separate tutorial on that which is coming soon and so I just created the word happy now I'm bringing in these rosy studio letters and they are spelling out the word mama so my sister who's a bit younger than me she could never pronounce my name when she was growing up she couldn't say smantha so she said mama a mama has now sticks forever my dad still calls me mama so I'm a happy mama so that's why I've titled this scrapbook layout so yeah a bit of fun now I'm just adding some foam to the back of my photo again I tend to do that with most of my photos I just like the effect that it gives just to kind of raise it up so I've got the texture from the metal I've got those the gold strips I've got the polka dots I've got the flowers and I bring in more as well so I just wanted lots going on because again it's kind of me it's my personality so I'm just I doubled up the blue flowers so they're in the bottom left there and then the yellow one is going to be in the top right and the yellow went really well with the yellow strip and the blue went perfectly with the blue strip so yeah worked really well now because this is metal the easiest way to stick it down was using the hot glue I hope hopefully it will last okay I'm going to maybe have to look at some other ways to attach those if I keep using them in the future maybe some ribbon tied through through the back of the paper maybe some more razor studio so I'm just bringing in some little gold words here so I think I use love life smile and happiness and I just wanted something to kind of match and tie in with the gold stripes at the bottom of the page so these ones end up going at the top there and it just kind of balances that with the gold in the happy the gold in the stripes yeah so now I'm just bringing in more gold so this is the very thick Nouveau drops the gold glitter and I just again just to kind of tie it together and give it more dimension more you know things to kind of touch and feel there's lots on this page it's very easy to do but there's just lots going on and I do tend to finish all my scrapbook layouts with Nouveau drops so there you have it that is my scrapbook layout for this week I really really like this one I hope you do too hope I've inspired you to bring out different materials in your craft room things that you maybe think you don't know how to bring them and use them then try this it's it's just really fun scrapbooking there's no right or wrong you do what you want it's quite a personal thing I'm sharing it with you guys but these are you know your memories that you're scrapbooking so you can do whatever you want as always if you've enjoyed today please subscribe to my channel give the video a thumbs up and I will back again next sunday with another scrapbook layout thanks for watching bye bye


What kind of secret idea has to be so innovative and keeping up to bring in new things all the time? Well, I suppose the answer is maybe a little obvious, but when you have an organisation where you've worked really hard to recruit the most innovative people you can find, and there's something special about the people at IDEO, is that they are innovative and they're collaborative, right, so they want to work together. When you've worked really hard to recruit those people, you'd be really stupid if you didn't give them some space and time to innovate, not just only on behalf of our clients, but on behalf of IDEO too. And so we have a lot of, I don't know, maybe you call it design activism going on in IDEO everywhere, right? So there are new ideas bubbling up all of the time, and then we have some very lightweight structures for investing in those ideas in order to grow them when they're exciting. So for instance, we recently launched our online university IDEOU, and that came from a small team inside IDEO that were passionate about teaching, and they ran a little design charrette and they came up with this thought and then they built a really quick prototype in a day of what the first course was going to look like, and that was convincing enough to say, you know, let's take a little bit of money and try and make that first course. And now we have 15 courses and we're teaching 15,000 students a year. So these ideas evolve, we trust people in the organization to have the best new ideas, and then we try and support them where we can in order to let them grow. It's not always easy to spot them and it's not always easy to give people the time, but one thing I can be totally confident about is that there's always lots of new ideas bubbling up inside IDEOU. And one thing you said to me that raised my attention, you said about recruiting the right people, because this is a very specific behavior. But many organizations, they are much more traditional. They're big and they have a less flexible structure. What kind of advice would you give to this very large organization that are facing a massive disruption absolutely everywhere to become more? Totally. I mean, if you believe that you have to have more and better ideas and you have to do more with those ideas, if you don't believe it then you don't change. You just stay focused on efficiency. But if you do believe that, then however you want to describe it, you need more people with more entrepreneurialism or with what we would call creative confidence, the ability to have new ideas and then the confidence to act on them in your organization. So if you've got to try and unlock whatever of that is already there and recruit more people with that in mind. I mean, we recruit mostly based on values rather than skills. I mean, obviously you're looking for people with certain skills, but we're really careful to look for people... One of our most important values at IDEOU is this idea of making others successful because we believe in collaborative innovation, not just the individual genius. And that's been incredibly helpful to us because we're very good at spotting people who want to work with other people to do creative things. And I think that's important for all organizations. I think it's one of the under... or misunderstood important characteristics of successful organizations is that they have people in them who want to help other people. That includes customers, obviously, but it also includes other people in your own organization. And I think recruiting for that bias is a tremendously important thing I think for all organizations to do. Yeah, and this is a perfect point to tell you. We did recently a research and one of the key findings are related to that, but not in an extremely positive way. There is a massive problem on large organizations, large governments about silos. Yeah, it's exactly the lack. And this drives me to the second point. It's a people act on their self-interest. And so there is this challenge. You need to change to survive, but at the same time, you want to keep your own kingdom and it's basically the opposite. But how organizations can improve that? Imagine that they already have the team and the team has its mindset that is people don't change as fast as... No, but I do think we can do a better job of leading not just to develop individuals, but to develop communities. The history of humanity has been about how we've designed bigger and bigger and more complex communities. That's really the thing that's evolved most. And that's true in businesses too. If we only stay focused on the individual, then we'll only get the productivity of the individual and we'll get all of these silos and we'll get this self-interest that dominates. But if we are good at building communities, small communities around projects, large communities around businesses, whatever they might be, then I think we have the opportunity to create real leverage and real impact at scale. So we have to remember that our job as leaders isn't just to promote and encourage individuals, it's to promote and encourage communities. So most of the success of IDEA, you think it's this innovative approach on helping each other and it's like a self-regulated environment. It is and the amount of trust. We have relatively few rules, there's a high degree of trust and a willingness to forgive somebody if they've done something that actually may be not in your interest, but you could see it's in the broader interest. And that's a very hard thing to keep encouraging.  So I'm not sure that it wouldn't be necessarily very easy for us to take everything we do and apply it to a 100,000 person organization. But what would be your advice? If you have maybe one or two pieces of advice, for those who are listening to this for the C-level executives that are facing challenges on transforming themselves, so what would be your experience and your advice? I'd go back and say you need to encourage two things. You need to encourage creativity and entrepreneurship and you need to encourage collaboration. And however you choose to measure that and whatever objectives you set for it, you need to encourage both those things. Just one will create lots of energy but also lots of divisiveness. If you just encourage collaboration to get nothing new and interesting, that's just bureaucracy or teamwork. And so it's tremendously important that as leaders we encourage both of these things. Thank you very much. It was wonderful talking to you and thank you for taking the time to talk to us. It's a pleasure. Thank you very much.


Okay. Hello everybody. Hi. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to our all day movie workshop. Yeah, we have a large group of people here. Once again, because we're on our online retreat weekend, we have this Retreat the Mystical Heart of Christ.  And also we have a bit of a new setup for today. So for those who are new, I'm Peter. I'm hosting today. And yeah, I can just let you know the flow of the day. So we're going to start with the movie and David. And then today we're going to have a Q&A session after the movie. We'll have a 10 minute break or so and then we'll have a Q&A session with David. And then after that, we're going to have a longer break, but we're going to have a worship session where we can share music and just prayer and joy. And so that's going to be coming up a bit later at the day at 4pm MDT. And so there's going to be a bit of a longer break then. So but to start with, we're going to have the movie with David. So I'm going to pass it over to David now. Hi, everyone. Welcome. We're going to have a great day today. I can tell you with a lot of new things happening, we have a new website that we've just done veiling. When I arrived down here, they said, Oh, our app got accepted into the Apple app store. So we have a new app that just is available. Now we have a new cat in our community called Lucy. Some of you remember the movie Lucy with Scarlett Johansson. So we're all ooing and on like watching the cat, the young cat Lucy to see the transformation happen. We have fiber optics, too. And I landed, we've been waiting at one of the properties QDS for fiber optics for about five years. And it just came in when I landed here in Mexico. So we're just enjoying a lot of beautiful symbols. And today, we have a really a beautiful movie, the most reluctant convert. And it's basically the story of like a bioptic movie of CS Lewis, Clive Staples Lewis. Clive, I like that. And Clive is going to really take us on a deep dive. Clive has taken us on a dive because when we come to this world of time and space, all we know from birth, and while we experience is through the five senses. And as I've been teaching for many, many years, our five senses are invented by the ego. So talk about a closed system. If if your five senses are showing you separation year after year, decade after decade, and then there's something underneath that is your true identity that wants to be found wants to be discovered. And yet, all you've known your entire life is we'll call it materialism. All you've known is materialism and what the five senses show you. And that's a pretty strong evidence for separation, because the five senses constantly are showing a fragmented perception. They're constantly showing division, constantly showing conflict, war, arguments, constantly showing difficulties. And imagine if your true identity had nothing to do with anything that the five senses show you that that the ego was so ingenious that it invented and projected a linear world of time and space to keep you from knowing who you are. Quite an ingenious tactic if who you are has nothing to do with the five senses or the world of fragmented differences. Who you are has nothing to do with multiplicity. Who you are has nothing to do with variety. We were raised with this idea that variety is the spice of life. I'm going to reinterpret that now for all of us. Variety is the spice of death. Because only a death wish could cover over absolute oneness, absolute unconditional love, absolute perfect spirit with some kind of a veil of forgetfulness that involved multiplicity and variety. And then if you want to just come a little more basic than that then you could say duality.  So the movie today is going to be the life of C.S. Lewis. And the more I look at this movie and the more I look at the life of C.S. Lewis, it reminds me of my own journey of I think many of us can relate to. We come to this world, we seem to have parents. In C.S. Lewis's case, he had a very gentle, caring, loving mother and kind of an outrageous father. And when you see what we perceive through our five senses, it's no wonder that we grow up kind of confused. As children were pretty confused, if we seem to have a good home life, a good family life, that's a good launch point for us, but we're still kind of frightened of things. Then we go to school and we meet people, we meet teachers, we have friends, we have colleagues. And as we move into our perceptual life as a human being, we move so with trepidation, with some fear, some doubt, many challenges. And that's what's so great about this movie. I will give commentary on it, but this is a gem of a movie we're watching today. This movie can help wash away your doubts about God. It's so well done. This movie can, it uses wit and humor. It uses the great thinkers and the great poets, it utilizes the great poets and thinkers, the great rationalists who basically were trying best to use rationality and logic to find meaning only to discover that their first premise was missing. So there are many, many great thinkers who were experts at rationality and logic, but they didn't realize that the rationality that they were applying to this world was as if the world was real and as if the world had some kind of meaning in it. When you apply rationality to meaninglessness, it goes nowhere. Some of us have tried. We've tried to be rational creatures in an insane world. And at times we wonder, this is absurd.  How am I ever going to find meaning in such an insane world? So Jesus has helped us out. He tells us this world is backwards and upside down. And he tells us that we will never find our true identity in this world. This is a veil drawn over the truth to blind us from the truth. And so he's basically giving us permission to drop it, to drop trying to find meaning and understanding in the world. And he said 2000 years ago, the kingdom of heaven is within you. So he was pointing us towards prayer. He was pointing us towards meditation.  That's a pretty graphic description from 2000 years ago to have a very strong prayer life and a very strong meditation life and go inward into contemplation. But do it with the spirit of God show me, show me the truth. Everything that I've perceived with my five senses has not taken me to the truth. But there is a way. There must be a way. Because you said knock and the door shall be opened. Seek and ye shall find. You have assured with your word and your promise that we can discover the truth. Now today in this movie we're going to see C.S. Lewis. He's kind of got a nickname in the movie. They call him Jack as a child. And then even when he's in Oxford in the university, he's kind of his nickname is Jack.  He's pretty outraged at his children. He's got his own ideas of things. And then C.S. Lewis or Jack has a brother warmly. And basically his brother is going to be part of a mystical experience that he has when his brother brings him a gift of like flowers and almost like a little gift basket during the summertime. And C.S. Lewis will have this huge mystical experience where he gets the taste of joy out in nature, like a lot of the nature mystics like St. Francis. And that will be in his heart as he moves through a very learned life, a very intellectual life. He will turn into a bookworm that reads so many books and becomes so well educated. But even with that fantastic spectacular education, he's going to have to discover the poets. He's going to have to discover Yates. And the poets will probably be the ones that help the Holy Spirit uses to reach his heart, that there's a world beyond this world. Even though all his rationalism and his intellectualism is basically saying there is no God, there's an experience with his brother that he had in nature with the flowers and the basket.  And then it will eventually reach him in a very deep, the core of his being, the core of his heart. And that's part of the turnaround that we all experience when we doubt the meaning of life, when we doubt that there is a purpose, when we doubt that there is anything worth striving for. There is something inside of us that comes in and it basically takes over and it beams us back toward the Source, towards God. Thank Heavens. The Spirit has a plan and that plan will reach us when we're ready to be reached. So today, the movie themes that you voted on, the top theme was devoting my life to following Jesus Christ with 54 votes. And this is a perfect movie for that, devoting my life to following Jesus Christ because many of us, some of us were raised Christians, some not. Some of us have had very, very interesting journeys with Jesus, where we've learned things about Jesus or been told things about Jesus. But as far as our actual direct experience with Jesus, there's quite a range of experiences that human beings seem to go through.  And who you really are is an eternal being that has no beginning and no end. As Jesus said, before Abraham was I am, or I am the Alpha and the Omega, that one point in A Course in Miracles, Jesus says, you are the goal the world is searching for. And at another point, he basically is telling us that when we recognize who we are, then the whole world is healed, the whole world is saved. That the world is not some kind of a linear solid construct, but the world is just a projection. And when you realize that who you are in spirit is the salvation of the world, when you realize that I am presence is the salvation of the world, you realize that everything that you perceived as a problem in this artificial world was never a problem at all. It was just, it was just a projection of a tiny mad idea. And there were no financial problems. There were no relationship problems. There were no hunger issues. There were no political struggles. There were no wars. Everything in time and space that is perceived to be a problem is just a projection of the belief in separation from God. Wow. That's why we follow Jesus Christ, because that's who we are. We are the Christ. And Jesus was simply a symbol, a wayshower. It's appeared seemingly in time and space, but the I am presence of Christ is with us right now. And it's going to be showing and commenting on this movie today, which is, it's all of our stories. When I look at the story of C.S. Lewis, I think, oh my gosh, that's, that's my story. That's, that's my story of awakening. And the Holy Spirit does have to do use contrast. Like many of us were raised in a, in a family when we were growing up, where we had some major issues with our mother and or father or siblings. And I know for some of you, you, it was pretty horrific. You, you went through some pretty horrific experiences in childhood. You see how tight the ego is building its case against God. It's, it's projecting out people that don't seem to be integrists, people that don't seem to be in harmony and love all the time. They, there's quite a lot of distortions that appear even in our childhood scripts and childhood dreams, so to speak. And then oftentimes the same distortions replay themselves over and over and as we move along. So it's quite, it's quite a veil of forgetfulness to forget that you're the Christ. But eventually we start to turn inward toward the light and say, wait a minute, this, this can't be the truth of who I am. The second theme is being humble enough to have a change of mind. Wow. That's really where we're moving. We're moving towards humbleness. But in order to be humble enough to have the change of mind, we, we have to become so humble that we can admit that we were wrong about everything, not wrong about some things, that we were wrong about absolutely, positively everything of this world. We were wrong around about electrons and molecules. We were, we were wrong about the Milky Way. I'm not just talking about the candy bar either. We, we were wrong the milk. We're not talking about a Mars bar. We were wrong about the Milky Way. We were wrong about galaxies. We were wrong about linear time. We were wrong about our parents. We were wrong about our children. We were wrong about our careers. We were wrong about our relationships. We were wrong about the people we hated. We were wrong about the people we loved. We were wrong about our romantic relationships. We were wrong about absolutely, positively everything. And that's what I think it means by being humble enough to have a change of mind. Jesus says the purpose of this course is to change your mind about your mind. What does that even mean? Change my mind about my mind. Maybe he means accept that your mind is eternal. Accept that your mind is one with the mind of God. Accept that your identity is a creation of God and God hasn't changed his mind. You're still spirit. You always have been spirit and always will be spirit. You are the I am presence and all you have to do is be wrong about everything else to accept that God was right. If God is right about spirit then everything else must be wrong. Wrong minded I'll call it. But it's just a mistake. Mistakes are meant to be corrected. It's not a sin, it's a mistake. Mistakes are meant to be corrected. The third theme for this movie in this week is be willing to question every value that I hold. So as we've talked about at the beginning, what Francis was mentioning, it's not so much that you have to keep letting go and giving up everything of the world. It's just that you have to start to realize that spirit is valuable and the temporary things of time and space by definition are value less. Some of you might have done the workbook of A Course in Miracles. I will not value what is valueless. That's workbook lesson 133. And in that lesson Jesus says, at times it's good to bring the student back from the theoretical to the practical. And he gives us a practical lesson in what's valuable and what's valueless. The criteria is very simple. If it will last forever, it has value. If it will not last forever, it has no value whatsoever. Thank you, Jesus. That's as practical as it gets. And you may say, wow, how am I going to apply that one? That's a humdinger of a lesson. 133, I will not value what is valueless. Now, if you've been doing the lessons, you did lesson 128, which is five lessons before that, the world I see holds nothing that I want. You see, he's not just surprising you by saying the world is valueless. He's saying, no, follow along. The world I see holds nothing that I want. The only value that this world holds is that I pass it by and I will not value what is valueless. I will only value what is eternal. Think how calm you'll be if you say to yourself, and you mean I will only value the eternal. Imagine how divorce looks when you only value the eternal. Imagine how death looks when you only value the eternal. Imagine how losing your job looks when you only value the eternal. Imagine how war looks when you only value the eternal. That's the key is to see the world as the Holy Spirit sees the world and see it as Jesus sees it.  And then when I was reading the text, then I saw the phrase maker of another world and the maker was capitalized and I thought, wait a minute, how does that fit in? How is the maker of another world capitalized? And he was basically saying that's the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has made the real world for you. The Holy Spirit has made the happy dream. The Holy Spirit has made a world where there's no judgment and that's what you should focus on when you're doing the Course in Miracles. Don't worry about eternity. God will take the final step. God will wake you up, but you first have to accept a happy dream. You have to accept the forgiven world. You have to accept a world without judgment. The same world without any judgment. So there are workbook lessons that teach, you know, today I will judge nothing that occurs. Lord, let me not be your critic today. Today I will judge nothing that occurs. So that's what it means to be willing to question every value that I hold. The next one is called intellectualization versus allowing Christ into my heart. What a great movie. We are going to see one of the sharpest minds. We are going to see a man who is well-read, well-learned, who has studied all the classics, who studied the poets. He studied English, his native language, French, German. He is so well-rounded in his education, and yet he still discovers he has pride. He still has distortions in his mind. Even all that learning did not bring him peace of mind, did not bring him joy, a lasting experience of love. And therefore he surrenders, he opens up and succumbs to the light of heaven, the light of God's love. And that's all of our lessons. So intellectualization can take you and carry you to a point, and then you reach a point where you realize, wow, maybe I don't know anything. Maybe everything I've learned was not the thing that I needed to accept. And there is something greater than everything that I've learned about this world. And the last theme is seek and you will find. Hallelujah. It is inevitable. You don't have to worry about not remembering who you are because it's the destiny. The destiny is to forgive the world and remember the self, as the ancient Greeks said, know thyself. So this is such a precious time for us in our ministry. We're just starting to lift off. And then going down the runway, the plane is taking off, and we're just soaring up, up higher, higher, oh, higher above the clouds. We're getting into Christian mysticism. We're going to have some fun. We're going where the mystics have gone. I hope you're ready. The plane has left the runway. I hope you are willing to think of yourself as a saint in training. I hope you're willing to see yourself along with St. Francis and St. Teresa, along with, oh, we're up in Muji land. We're in Parma Hansa Yogananda land. We're up, oh, look at this. Jesus, where are we? We're going high, high, high, the high altitudes. And also we're going into worship. I mean, anyone who goes into Christian mysticism goes into worship. So we're shifting from, we went from first gear, second, third, fourth. We're going into fifth gear, which is worshiping God, not just with words, not just with music, but worshiping God with our happiness, worshiping God with our joy, worshiping God with our laughter, our humor. God created us as a joyful, playful, peaceful, happy being. And when we acknowledge that that's who we are, we are worshiping God. We're not just saying words to God, because God doesn't have an ego to receive the words. God is a presence that's beyond words. Words are symbols of symbols twice removed from reality. So we can't reach God through the words, but we can reach God through the joy in our heart, and that's what it's about. So in the past we've done our online retreats, the first weekend of every month, and then we've had every Saturday we've been having movies, where we had movies and breakout rooms, and we followed it up with some Q&A in the afternoon. Today we're going to show the movie with commentary, then we're going to have a slight pause, maybe 10 minutes. We'll open it up for Q&A so you can share or ask anything that you want in the Q&A. Then we'll take a pause for lunch, and then we'll continue on with a worship service today. The other thing we can say is we do have a new website and we have an app. We have a new app and it just got published the day I landed down here in Mexico. So lo and behold, just for this presentation. So here is the app. I'm going to hold it up. Let's see if we can get a camera shot. There it is, there it is. And with this app, there's a live function. So every time we go live, which will be on Saturdays and as well spontaneously throughout the week, wherever you are in the world, if you have your smartphone or if you have your iPad, you can also be on a computer, laptop, computer, and you can go sign in and go into our live feature. And the website has lots of features as well, but we really like the spontaneous live. So if you have friends or family that you think might like to join us later on today for the worship service, you're all going to be here in the Zoom room, but if you have other people that you'd like to let them know, let them go to the app store and just type in Living Church Ministries and then you'll see a little app with a logo that has a beautiful little star. It's kind of a yellow background with a beautiful star. And then you download it and then whenever we go live, it just comes on to your phone. You can check it out. And we hope that this is a way that you can really join us in this celebration, this worship celebration. I know for myself that's what my days are like. I feel like every day is just a day of worship and a day of happiness and joy. It doesn't really matter the form because God knows not form. We worship God in our heart. We worship God in the chamber of our heart. When you are gleeful, when you are joyful and happy, then that is worshiping God. And when there's another emotion there, that's fear-based, that's just an opportunity to forgive. It's just an opportunity to take that emotion and put it on the altar and say, Holy Spirit, please take this from me. I would rather be joyful and gleeful and happy. I would rather worship my Creator than try to resist. So I hope you enjoy this movie today as much as I do. Every time I watch it, my heart is really just stirred very deeply because I see this parable of C.S. Lewis as a parable for all of us that have gone through the sleep of forgetfulness. And I see the glee in C.S. Lewis' face when he finally hears a voice in his mind that says, I am the Lord. I am that I am. And simply I am. When we feel the presence of God's love, that is the beginning of the end of the belief in the ego. From that point on, the ego will be rinsed, rinsed, rinsed from our mind. It will fade and fade and fade and disappear from our awareness. And I think this movie is a good example, a good demonstration of that progress that we make as we begin to value love more than we value fear and hatred and guilt. So enjoy the movie. I will pop in from time to time. And what a ride.  C.S. Lewis is going to show that you can let them go in the end. You can surrender them. So I'll see you soon.


Our commitment to refugees is as strong as it ever was. We've had moments in previous years where there have been questions about our commitments, but we have continued to reaffirm our commitment. And as you know, President Biden is in the process right now of reaffirming our commitment to refugees and immigrants. The United States is one of the largest contributor to humanitarian and refugee programs. And we, as part of our responsibilities, and I've worked on refugee issues most of my career, we work on encouraging other countries to recommit and to reestablish and reaffirm their commitments to refugees.
