Alright, welcome back. It's time for our second hot topic and it's something positive, something happening in our aviation sector. The new minister, Festus Keama, S.A.N., has secured partnership with Canadian Aviation Electronics. I want to find out more and how much of a big deal this is. And we've been joined by Ullumide Uwayo, General Secretary Aviation Safety Roundtable Initiative. Good morning to you. Good morning. So tell us, how big a deal is this for Nigeria? Well, I think there's a much bigger picture because the other women started living in Nigeria about three weeks now. It went to Oslo. Now we have to get signed agreement for some equipment to be supplied to the United States Management Agency. This is how to help those airports that have communication issues. You know, we've always mounted the issue of Chakon and at the end of the day, when the pilots still complain about it, I've been difficulty with communicating with the air traffic controllers at some airports. So there were some airports in the country. So that was the first place the minister stopped with his team and then those equipment are supposed to be coming in very soon to Nigeria before proceeding to the U.S., to the Ongar, Ongar, Ongar to support the federal government there and make some agreement on aviation by the time we met before proceeding to Canada for the account conference. And thereafter, this deal came out, right? But the companies are supposed to supply some equipment that supports our security and safety systems in their mission in Oslo. And I think that's the most important. Well, let's talk about the aviation generally, Nigerian's aviation industry. And I'm glad you have the Aviation Safety Roundtable Initiative. I mean, let's go back 63 years ago or maybe 50 years ago when we had it good in this country, Nigeria Air. Do you see this administration being able to revive that? Because, I mean, we saw what we saw with the last administration, where we saw all sorts of drama surrounding Nigerian air and all of that. Do you see this minister, Fesos Kiamo, being able to sort of remove that shame from Nigeria? Well, by virtue of his profession, being a lawyer, I think what he meant were, Ongar, more of litigation, disagreements, you know, threats, and court litigation. So, I expect that being a son and a fellow of the east of arbitration, he has the requisite qualification to tackle the issues of ground industry. For me, it's not for him to hit the ground running. I've said that before and I'll say it again, that hitting ground running is going to fall. He needs to stand, take a break, look behind and see how some of these things can be corrected. If you notice that immediately he came in, on his first visit to Lagos, he gave an order that the Air Force, all airlines should move before October 1st. That's been his thing. Why are you trying to get him into a loop just a little bit? But then the first three days in office, and we got what he turned out to be, passengers were queuing on the road, the airlines had been delayed, flights, flights were not being changed, because of that harsh and harsh decision. I think he would have taken his time then, come back in a pronouncement. It was when airlines are not like a big layers of the vulcanizers that just carry all the machine and move to the next place. Airlines, they sustain the processes and they also have vendors who also work with them and they all need to plan successfully to move the whole team to the new terminal. But you see, the new terminal again, despite its aesthetics, it does not meet with some of the operational requirements that are needed for bigger aircraft. And that was why it was difficult for the airlines to move there. And so the bedlam, and I think that was quoted by him setting up a committee to see how, and an external committee liaising with the airlines and see how the movement can be smooth and without any issues. But you see, that committee would have been the first thing to come up, rather than being the other in the coming after the order. And that's why we saw that bedlam. I think that mistake, she was woken up there. This industry is not a, it's not about being ugly. I have my way. You need to discuss the stakeholders about taking decision. There are so many things, there are so many books for him to do. Happily, at the last webinar, he said he has been a consecutive witness for EFCC, for past ministers in aviation. He will not prosecute the panic either. It was also part of the team that he was going to tell us. So he said he knew about the landmines in place and he's going to ensure that if they don't separate them and separate the industrial activities, I want to work on that. I also want to see him do a lot of discussion with the official lawyers. I think they should call them so they can help them navigate through the naughty issues of agreement in place and how. Because when you do not have agreement as a circumstance, you scare away investors and that investors, they don't stand up. Would you say there's a lot of politics in that sector? And we don't say politics. I think the problem we have is that we'll be very unlucky. We've been afflicted by the horrible set of every ministers. Who are easy to grab the press and grab social media handle proclaiming the achievement. Just like the style I do I deal with the model of airport. You will not complain. You will not say anything about these activities then. Everybody will throw the remodeling on your face. But look at what has happened today. They're still on trial about mismanagement of France and some of the shots she took during our film. One of these shots is the new terminal, the Lagos Airport, that's now uncomfortable and they're not demolishing buildings just for that airport to be able to operate optimally.  There's quite a list of the actions as public officials. Okay, let's look at these chips that the minister has been making and these collaborations, these deals he's been getting. Recently he welcomed the Egyptian Civil Aviation Investment Services and they are offered to Nigeria. Do we need all of this? Of course, also adding this partnership with the Canadian Aviation Electronics, do we need all of this support to get our own airline off the ground, would you say? We need all this support, all these activities to get our own airlines, not airlines up in place because as of today we have the highest number of domestic carriers in Africa, despite not having the biggest economy, we have the highest number of domestic carriers. But then these domestic carriers, when you look at the equipment, they are far, far behind when compared to other countries. South Africa has only about six domestic airlines, Mexico has seven, Egypt itself has five, Morocco has four and these four carriers have more aircraft than, I will tell you, one of the airlines in those countries have more aircraft than all the other carriers in Nigeria put together. So we need to see how we can consolidate that process of building strong carriers. And I mean building those carriers, they need to save funds and that's why the Egyptian team we are here, they are here to invest in the maintenance and repair of a haul. If you remember that they won the contract of the National Anger Project under the immediate past minister, they are here to kick off. But again, why would you tie the hands of all that MRO organizations in Nigeria because of the Egyptian company? We have, we have quite a lot of people, we have the Arab contractors and we have seven global, these are all MRO companies, immediately built and looking for expansion and investment. So if the Egyptians want to join them, they said that they joined the team from Ghana, said they can expand what's on Ghana or go and start down independent rather than ask the federal government to give cover for them, for them to operate. That would not be right because we already have some, they're here in Nigeria. And once again, they are invited and I wish they could join the market and help us build our industries, our innovation industry. Okay, still talking about the challenges, the trapped funds, you know, foreign airlines trapped funds in Nigeria, that is still a major issue. How best you think this should be resolved and how soon are we looking at having all of that, because traveling, traveling has become very problematic for Nigerians because of the high cost of, of fares. Well, you're right. You remember the president just returned from UAE, we met with the United Arab Emirates president on the, on the need for the airlines to return back on the routes. And I was, my only joy there is not even about the visa to, to be given to Niger, but if we have Emirates, it's yet coming back on the, on the Lagos and the Gujarat, that means we have no capacity. We don't have no capacity. This, by the time those airlines are not actually stopping about, maybe about, it's only about 20, 25% of those people that stop in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, they risk will be on point bearing. Now, if you have this capacity, then you are sure that we have that, which literally means you have more supply and you expect prices of ticket fares to drop, by a bunch of the services by those airlines. But then why did Emirates leave, Emirates left the cost of the trapped funds? And the, the, the, the, the, the, the icing for them was where they wanted to buy a visual fuel in Nigeria and they wanted to pay in Naila with it, with the funds that are trapped there. The other communist refused and said they were going to collect the money in dollars. And that was, that was not that simple. I would, at this point, stop servicing the district and the Gujarat, and that was how Emirates grew that of Nigeria. We need, it's an obligation, it's an international obligation that was, that we have signed in every, it's a certain, in every better service agreement. All airlines, after payment of taxes, charges and any other fees, the remainder of their ticket sales should be remitted to their home country. It's, it's not negotiable. It's, it's, because when you, when you go high on them, there are other rules of beating up. What happens that you, you, you may have it very difficult to get to, your insurance might be increased when you, increase when you go forward in the, in the, in the air for, to ratio of the insurance, which, which another company, when you want equivalent, they, they give you the, at a higher rate and most treated because they, they will not want to have their first trapped in the judges like, like the other airlines. So we are not dealing with one airline. You are dealing with the international committee that is connected. So as you hit the foreign airlines, so also at every order, organizations, any international body that you want to deal with, concerning aviation, you also have to consider that they might fall into this trap and look, I will set so much good, but so many roadblocks for you, so that their funds will not be trapped. And I'm, I'm going to set those roadblocks, your cost of opportunities increases. And that's why we need to resolve this issue of our, our standard trap, trap funds so that we can get back into the committee of, committee of ratios that have been very, very business-friendly in the aviation industry. And the UAE visa ban on Nigerians is not yet lifted, is it? Maybe the previous folks should tell us. But I know that UAE has not said so. Okay, let's look at the five point agenda of the new minister, Mr. Festus Keamo. I'm sure you're aware of them. I had asked the captain this, this question last week, and I'd like to get your take on it. The five point agenda, Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development. Number one, ensure strict compliance with safety regulations and continuous upward movement of Nigeria's rating by Aikau. And then support for the growth and sustenance of local airline businesses whilst holding them to the highest international standards in the aviation industry. Number three, improvement of infrastructures in the aviation industry. Number four, development of human capacity within the industry. And number five, optimizing revenue generation for the federal government. Do you see these capturing, aptly capturing the situation in the aviation sector and being able to go ahead? Yes, I agree. I agree. Like those before him, they call their own road map, or another call is an agenda for the industry. I think it captures the industry in totality there. If it's optimizing revenue for the government, I think that's what I need to address, because when you're optimizing revenue for the government, you might also hope to the airlines. As of today, two airports, Lagos and Abuja, Lagos and Abuja are the most expensive airports in Africa. And that is not a good deal. Who supports the Indian Airlines? Because they don't like this airport, rather than foreign airlines. We kind of cost. So we're not optimizing why we must be ready to bring down costs. We're ready to bring out taxes. That's already a problem in terms of the multiple taxation. It's killing cargo, in terms of cargo trade and rates. We need to work on that. And so on. They've been optimizing. They need to address all these issues that will improve operations and profitability for their own ground airlines. We must address that. You cannot have the most expensive airport in Africa. Lagos and Abuja. And say you want to optimize revenue for you. We are ready to build industry. You cannot build industry when you have the most expensive airport. That must be addressed.   Also killing the airlines. Again, I think another good thing about the KPI is, as we just listed, if you want to ask them to do that, if we support the local airlines, that has been a rare bleed in the industry for some time. And again, most people say they will say it and we don't see it. I want to see how you want to support them. I want to be sure they support you. But I'm happy that it's possible that the airlines to task that they must also meet with the international standard. The international standard here means about a pretty upright on the schedule, about a treaty or passage that's right, and then the regulators are quite lost. When passengers, when passengers are delayed or passengers have complaints over delays, cancellations, and all that is related to flights, so I think that's very important that as people, as he has promised to support the airlines, he's offering to hold the airlines accountable for their services to the engineering passengers and that they move those who are already there to say, I mean, I would not be implemented for the airlines to see that they have met with the international standard. Because the international standard, if you do not, if you delay flight periods, there's a certain period of time that there's compensation. If it goes beyond this time, there's a refund, if you don't delay that night, there's a hotel, all those things have not been refunded at the time. The regulators have not been able to hold the airlines to meet with their response when flights are made. Again, the airlines have also listed issues beyond them that are causing the release, which are about eight or nine of them, and which are outside the probability of the airlines. So it has the VIP movements, the carousel, carousels have the airport, the baggage, the parking space, bedstrikes, equipment, aircraft equipment that when in time is brought back to the country and delayed time from customs. So a lot of the issues are listed there, and the government also needs to address to see to ensure that passengers come up with a system and apply. Again, I'm not going to mention all the sunset airports, airports that close by six p.m. And when you have such airports, they are forced to release flights to airports that are working far and to clear up operatives that close by six p.m. So they decide that aircraft can land and take off before it can come to a one-down. So there are so many other issues outside the airlines that they need to address. So it's not only the airlines. If you sit here and you support local airlines, but I want you to hold them to five minutes each and understand them. The agency sometimes conducts a preview. The Niger Airspace Management Agency for the Airport Authority of Nigeria and the agency should also be held up to be there in the international standard of operations and transport. Well, thank you so much, Mr. Lumideo Huayo, for your time this morning on the breakfast. Thank you for having me. Mr. Lumideo Huayo is the General Secretary of Aviation Safety Roundtable Initiative, and he's been our guest on our second hot topic. Well, that's the much we have for you on the breakfast this morning. Do stay with us for the rest of the programs you have lined up for you on Plus TV Africa. And don't forget the breakfast comes again tomorrow morning with Inyango. I am Maureen Menon-Huizigwe. Good morning.


Here we are in 1 Peter chapter two. Let's look at verses 18 through 25 together. And what I'll do is I'll read verses 18 through 20 and give you a bit of an introduction and then move on through the rest of the chapter. So 1 Peter chapter two verses 18 through 20, the apostle Peter writes, "'Servants be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. For this is commendable if because of conscience toward God, one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. For what credit is it if when you are beaten for your faults you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer for it, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God." So the apostle Peter is entering into a section of his letter that is dealing with submission and even as mentioned before, he mentioned submission in one facet, submission to the government. He's gonna speak of it here in this passage related to servants being submitted to their masters. And then in chapter three, he continues that theme of submission when it comes to marriage. Now we know that as he has spoken concerning submission to the government, that he has made it very clear that government has been established by God for actually for reward and punishment. Remember in verse 14, speaking of governors, he says as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. So government is actually established in order to punish those who do wrong and to reward those who are doing well. And he was pointing out that in order to be a good citizen, we basically are to follow the rules that are established. We know that government has been established by God for the order of society as well as for our protection. Government will punish an evildoer but it ought to value and praise those who are doing good. Now our society here in the 21st century, we obviously have a society that is governed by elected officials. And so in our form of government, if we're not appreciating the direction that our officials take us, then obviously we can vote those officials out. When we vote, which we ought to do and I'm assuming that everybody here who is of age to be able to vote that we all exercise that privilege, that freedom, that right that was won by individuals who are willing to lay their lives down to give us that privilege. I'm assuming that when we all vote, we vote our consciences. We need to vote those things that align most closely with Scripture. Now, if we have a government that is not aligned with what we believe is proper, we have the option of casting our vote because we know that government is really a reflection of our own morals. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 29-2, when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.  And we've seen that in our history of people are doing well and the way the tenor of our society goes is there's a blessing to us. But we also know when there are those who do not respect the values that we have taken from Scripture, that it brings misery to us. It says in Proverbs 14-34, righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. And so we have options and the options that we ought to exercise come in the form of our ability to vote for those who most closely align to our conscience is as we understand Scripture and how Scripture informs us. So he's been speaking concerning submission, submission to government. Here in verse 18, he begins to share concerning submission to a master. What he's referring to was the state of slavery as was experienced in the early history of the church. He's writing to those who are what we today would refer to as household slaves. One of the things that we know is that during that day, slavery was a very, very large part of Roman society and there were millions of slaves that were in existence during the time of the writing of 1 Peter. The way that they would become slaves are varied. Actually, some would become slaves just because they were prisoners of war. When an army would enter in and fight a battle and win, then the soldiers who were taken captive would actually very often be sold into slavery. There were those who would voluntarily sell themselves into what we today call indentured servitude. In other words, they were bankrupt and in order to pay off their debts, they actually would sell themselves into slavery. There were children who were sold by parents into slavery and then there were slaves who had a child together and that child would be born into slavery. So there was slavery in the Roman Empire and it was rampant. Now there were some ancient slaves, ancient times who could live in relative normal lifestyles. But for many, slavery was obviously a very terrible life. What's interesting is that the apostle Peter is even mentioning them because the church didn't really address the institution of slavery in and of itself. When the church does mention something concerning slavery, it's not done in a revolutionary way. You don't see the apostle Peter, neither do you see the apostle Paul who wrote concerning slavery ever say anything about marching or protesting or doing anything like that. Slavery wasn't something that they dealt with in that fashion. As a matter of fact, the church would deal with it only insofar as slavery was an issue within the body of Christ. It didn't even make issue with the way that it was run in the world. You can see that kind of attitude in 1 Corinthians chapter seven when the apostle Paul was writing in verse 21 and he said there, were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it but if you can be made free, rather use it. And so he didn't even give a word of revolution at all. He said were you saved while you were a slave? Don't make an issue over it. If you're given freedom to become free, of course you ought to take the opportunity to become free. But that's basically how they dealt with it. Slavery is normally addressed in the context of life in the church. You see the world looked at slavery as a normal thing and they looked at the slaves as being verbal tools. They were subhuman but in the church slaves were full and equal members and they were to be treated as such. Well, obviously that would be true because Jesus himself came in the form of a slave. That's what it says in the book of Philippians chapter two verse seven. And so Jesus came in the form of a slave. He was a man who was, he was God incarnated in human flesh and he came to serve. And so it's very obvious that he submitted himself to the will of his father. And so Jesus is going to be used and we'll see this in just a moment as an example. So for Christians, slaves were completing Jesus Christ and they were equal to any other person. You see that in scripture. You see the book of Philemon that is written concerning a runaway slave named Onesimus and how the apostle Paul deals with that issue. And so what you end up with is a knowledge in scripture that slaves were full and equal members and should be treated with respect. And that's why in Colossians chapter four verse one, slave owners are actually given a command that was really unheard of in normal days, in their normal days because they were commanded, the slave owners were commanded to pay their slaves. That was extremely rare. In Colossians four one, it says masters give your bond servants what is just and fair knowing that you also have a master in heaven. In other words, you're no better than that one working for you and therefore treating with dignity and actually pay them a livable wage. So what we're seeing here is how slavery was dealt with. And I want you to see a couple of things there. In verse 18 he said, servants be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh for this is commendable if because of conscience toward God one endures grief suffering wrongfully. And so he begins to speak here and he's saying your attitude needs to be one of submission and it's not based on how you're treated. You can have a slave owner who treats you gently and with goodness and on the other hand, there are those who have a slave owner who treats them with harshness. And so your attitude is not to be based on how you're treated.  And I want you to see what he says. He says, be submissive to your masters with all fear. It's not fear of the master for what the master can do but it's a deeper reverence than that.  What is motivating you to become a slave that is commendable isn't that you're afraid, you're doing something as scripture would say in the King James, you're doing it with eye service. In other words, you're doing it because somebody's eye is upon you and I'm watching you. You do it is right because you have something deeper than that, you have a fear of God. And so you're gonna be the best that you can be at what you're doing, not because you're trying to please that man by himself or that woman by herself but you're doing the best you can because you're trying to please God with your life. And so he's actually pointing their eyes to something higher than man. Their attitude of submission isn't based on how they're treated. It's not based on whether they're treated well or whether they're treated with harshness. It's rooted in something deeper, their reverence for God. He says in verse 19, this is commendable if because of conscience toward God when endure his grief suffering wrongfully. So he's saying if you are treated wrongfully that's pretty much kind of something that happens in a lot of places. You see the bottom line is though your master might commend you because you have faith towards God. And many people actually realize that a God fearing individual is gonna be a good, in our days it would be a good employee normally. And so if I have a God fearing individual working for me that's better than somebody that I can't trust. And so he's making it very clear here that the slave owner might think that faith is something that's positive. But again, there are slave owners who treat slaves harshly and they'll inflict great misery on them. And so you have to have an attitude that is a conscience towards God. And therefore what you're to do he's saying is serve properly. Don't do it with a stoke resignation. Do it with an attitude that honors God and a desire to please him first. It's like what it says in Colossians 3.23. Whatever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto men. Now why would I do that? Why would I have an attitude like that? Well because it gives you opportunity to possibly be used by the Lord to give them a message that will save their souls. Here's the thing that's different about early Christians and what we find today in the 21st century. And that is that in the first century church heaven was a place that they really wanted to go to and they thought they had to be born again to enter in. In the 21st century it's been said the only requirement to go to heaven is just die. And so there were a lot of people who think that they automatically go to heaven simply because they lived, they did their best as whatever their best might have been.   And that's kinda how people think today. You know, and it doesn't really matter whether you were a saintly individual, loved the Lord, did good works and served God all of your life. Or whether or not you were somebody who lived in an exact opposite kind of lifestyle. Everybody goes to heaven in some people's minds. In the early church they knew better than that. In the latter church, the church of this age ought to know better than that too. Because in the early church they knew that there was a place that you could go called heaven and there was another place that you would go if you didn't have a relationship with God and it's called hell. And so that slave owner actually had a soul. And so the slave, though that slave didn't want to necessarily be a slave and perhaps found themselves in slavery in a variety of ways, but they didn't want to be there in the first place, rather than being harsh towards the one who treats them harshly and they needed to see things beyond the now. They had to see things in the eternal framework and that's what Peter's talking about. And what Peter's simply saying to them is this, your slave owner, the one who is treating you harshly still has a soul. And if you live in such a way before them in an honorable fashion, even if they don't treat you properly but you have a kind of faith that is evident in the way you respond, you may win a respectful hearing from that slave owner and you might have an opportunity to share with them a message that will actually give them the opportunity to go to heaven. You see, if they endure grief properly, it can be used to win the slave owner to Jesus Christ. In Titus chapter two, verses nine and 10, the apostle Paul said it like this. He said, slaves must always obey their masters and do their best to please them. They must not talk back or steal, but must show themselves to be entirely trustworthy and good. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive in every way. In 1st Timothy 6, 1 and 2, it says all slaves should show full respect for their masters so they will not bring shame on the name of God in his teaching. If the masters are believers, that's no excuse for being disrespectful. Those slaves should work all the harder because their efforts are helping other believers who are well loved. You see, instead of protesting and marching and rebelling, what happened through Christianity is it changed relationships. The way it undermined the power of slavery in the Roman Empire was it took the slave owner and it took the slave and made them brothers. And when they became brothers in the Lord Jesus Christ from the inside, slavery was changed. And so what we find in scripture is a call for us to live for Christ no matter what our circumstances may be. Now if I'm a slave and I do something wrong, well notice what he says in verse 20, he says what credit is it if when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently, but when you do good and suffer for it, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God, he's simply saying that because of conscience towards God, I'll do things for the Lord, but sometimes I may be treated harshly. Now if I'm treated harshly because I've done something wrong, there's no value in that because I'm getting punished for what I've done, I'm reaping what I've sown.  In Matthew chapter five, verse 10, it says, blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Now as you read this, you might be a person who's saying, I don't get this at all, why would I want to do that? How unfair is that after all? I mean the word unfair or not fair is something we learn at the earliest age, don't we? I mean any parent in here or grandparent has heard that, you've heard that where you said kids, you gotta go to bed now, that's not fair. What's not fair? It's just not fair, he got more ice cream than me. I can still remember, you know, we were really big on fair. I can still remember my mom got us ice cream. Now in our day ice cream, I think they had just invented it to be honest with you, but ice cream was a treat. It wasn't something that you got all the time, it was something, it was a treat. I mean, wow, look at, we got ice cream. It was really, oh, right. And I can still remember one day, seated at the dinner table after dinner, my mom brought dessert and we had ice cream.  And I can remember looking at his and looking at my ice cream and looking at his and saying, he got more, that's not fair. And my mom says, oh, it's not fair. And she took the ice cream from my brother and me and threw it in the sink and washed out. And she said, if you're gonna complain about what somebody else got, you're not gonna get any of it at all. Now that wasn't fair, I'm still mad about that. It's been 55 years. I'll never give my mom a bowl of ice cream ever. She don't even ask, mom. I know you're listening right now, don't ask. Fair, we got this idea of justice. It's just not right. How they treated me is not right. And we all have a real thin skin when it comes to that. We all do, human beings do. And so they're not treating me right. They're not treating me fairly. What are you saying? I'm supposed to submit to somebody who's harsh. It's easy for me to do that when somebody treats me kindly and with respect.  I am a verbal tool. I am a living instrument to be used at his will. If he doesn't like me, he can beat me just because he feels like it. Peter, you don't understand how unfair this is. This is not right. I was not, I did not ask to be born into this. I did not ask to be placed into this. This is not a lifestyle I want. You're telling me that I'm supposed to submit. Why would I do that? What authority do you have to commend such a thing for me? And where's your understanding in all of this? And this is where he begins to share with us something that is very powerful. Notice verse 21, he says, for to this you were called because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that you should follow his steps who committed no sin, nor was God found in his mouth, who when he was reviled did not revile in return. When he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously. Why should you submit? Why should you take it patiently? The whole point is, is because Jesus did. Now, when you read your Bible, the Bible speaks concerning about examples. There are human examples, obviously, that we have. The Apostle Paul speaking of himself in 1 Corinthians 11, one speaks of us, imitating him, he says, insofar as I imitate Christ. In Philippians chapter four, verse nine, he tells us if we do the things that he's doing, the God of peace will be with us. And so obviously we have human examples, people that we look to are basically living for Christ in front of us, and they can be great examples to us because we see a person who has patience, or we see a person who's loving, we see somebody who has compassion, we see somebody who has faith, we see somebody who lives in hope, we see somebody who's disciplined in the word of God, we see somebody who likes to share, he's an evangelistic, she's an evangelistic individual, and they're great mentors to us. They may be great parents, and they may be great grandparents. They can be just a great example, and thank God for those who are examples to us. Many ministers can be tremendous examples to the flock.  And that's usually the person that people keep in their back pocket as an example when somebody is sharing with them about Jesus, and they'll say, oh, wait a minute, I went to church when I was a kid, and the pastor ran off with the money, took off with the church secretary, and I'll never follow Jesus Christ because of that lousy example that guy had. If he really believed in Christ, why'd he do that? Everybody has somebody that they can point to in such a fashion and say that person was a hypocrite, and we use people as excuses to deny the Lord. We use people. But the bottom line is the apostle Peter is insane. Use a man as your example, is he? Peter says, follow Christ. Why? Because Jesus Christ is your best example, and he never fails. Man will fail. I have let down so many people in my life because men fail, because I'm not perfect. That's no excuse. That's just reality that happens. Men fail. We all fail. Not a single person in this room has ever lived a day being perfect, and if you lived a day being perfect, that's because you were asleep, and you probably had a bad dream, too. But there is one who has lived perfectly, and he's the one that we use as our example, and that's why the apostle Peter's using Jesus Christ as his example.  I'm sure you've already discovered, but let me bring it to your memory. The word example. When the word example is used concerning Jesus, it's only used in two basic ways. Two basic ways. One way that the word example, and it's found as Jesus himself saying, I've been your example, is an example of service. In John chapter 13, we have the night that Jesus was betrayed. He's there with the men they're having in the Passover supper. In the Passover supper, the supper has already been ended. The devil already put in the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray Christ. Jesus rises from the table, guards himself with the towel, gets a basin of water, and proceeds to wash the feet of his disciples. You all know the story. He goes from one disciple to another. The apostle Peter says, you can't wash my feet. You shall never wash my feet.  If I then be in your Lord and master, have washed your feet, ye ought to wash the feet of one another. And then Jesus says in John 13 verse 15, for I have given you an example that you should do as I have done to you. The word example is used as service. I've given you an example, something to model yourself after. The way I washed your feet is how you ought to minister to one another. So when you look into the life of Christ, and you look for the word example, as it is used in application through him, it is an application of service. That's why Jesus would say the greatest in the kingdom is the servant of all. Who is the greatest in the kingdom and who is the greatest servant if it's not Jesus Christ? The kings of this world, he said, they like to boast in their accomplishments and they like to present themselves as being great. He said, that's not how it's gonna be with you though. He said, if you're gonna be great in the kingdom, you serve one another even as a son of man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many. And so Jesus Christ is your greatest example. And his example was one of service. He washed the feet of his disciples. And in washing the feet of his disciples, this one who took upon himself human flesh and dwelt amongst us. The one who became in form a servant, as it says in Philippians 2.7, is the example that we have when it comes to service. So the word example is used to describe Jesus Christ when it comes to service. And that's why in Matthew 11.29, he would say, take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and lowly and hard and you will find a rest for your souls. And so one is an example of service. But secondly, the word example is used in reference to sacrifice and suffering. And that's how the apostle Peter is using that word here in this scripture. He's speaking concerning Jesus Christ when it says again in verse 21, for to this you are called because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that you should follow his steps. Leaving us an example. So Jesus's example is one of service and Jesus's example is one of sacrifice. And so he's saying you need to patiently endure what you're going through, all your difficulties and afflictions because Christ suffered for us. You see in verse 22, Jesus is our example. He suffered and he never deserved it. He committed no sin. When you think of the life of Christ and you think of his trial, you think of the treatment that he endured. When you think of the torture of the cross, when you think of those things, that painful death, it's supposed to bring perspective to us as believers. He suffered as no other man suffered. The Bible in Isaiah 50 verse six says it like this. I gave my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who plucked out the beard. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting. Isaiah 53 verse three says he is despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid as it were our faces from him. He was despised and we did not esteem him. So he's using Jesus as an example. Before I complain and say look how poorly I'm being treated, he points to the one who was treated and didn't deserve it. See I do things that I reap what I sow. I should be treated this way because of what I've done. It's just for me to be treated like this. But not Jesus. Jesus knew no sin, he did nothing wrong. And so obviously the apostle Peter would point to Jesus Christ and he would say use him as your example. That's how you're supposed to view things. Instead of retaliating, you endure it. You recognize why it's happening in the first place. They're rejecting Jesus.   And so the bottom line is that's what happens sometimes. He suffered for us. So if he suffered for me what makes me think that I'll never suffer for his namesake. That's what Peter is saying here. Notice as he said in verse 23 he was reviled and he didn't revile in return. When he suffered he didn't threaten. How did he react? It's not just that he suffered but how did he react to that suffering? We see him on the cross. We see people mocking him, saying things to him. He saved others but himself he cannot save. If you're really the Christ come down from the cross. Where was the human compassion? Where is the sense of shame that man ought to have felt crucifying their God in the flesh? Where was it? When you looked at Jesus he says I'm not a man, I'm a worm. He was crushed for us. You see he was bruised. I mean to have a picture of him what happened to him we sanitize it, we doctor it up to make it more acceptable to ourselves because we couldn't understand the horror of what he really went through. It would be something that you could never really see in a movie that was actually visually exact to what he actually went through because his body was beaten like no other man's. When they took that can of nine tails and they began to whip and open up the flesh on his back we've seen some pictures of that perhaps paintings of Christ but his back was open and open wound it looked like hamburger and blood was pouring down from his back through his legs and down his feet, puddling up there. The lictor they called him the lictor he had a can of nine tails type whip and it had embedded pieces of porcelain and sharpened metal in it. And there were at least nine straps or thongs that were placed on this handle and the individual who beat him was an expert at that and so they knew how to swing that whip in such a way that they could actually cover a man from the chest to the back and with one swing they got nine wounds and they gave him no less than 39 strikes, no less than that. In other words they hit him 39 times. Jesus's back was an open wound.  And out of nowhere they would just hammer him in the face and then they grabbed his beard and they twisted great clumps of hair from it and they pulled it right out of his face. They took a reed and they smashed him in the head. They took a crown of thorns and they placed it on his head with the reed so that his head was swollen and unrecognizable as human. And then they forced him to carry a cross and his blood loss and weakness was of such the immensity that they forced a man named Simeon to pick it up and carry it along because he couldn't, he had to carry it for him.  If there was ever anybody who had the right to revile those who reviled him and to threaten those who threatened him it was Jesus. He didn't deserve it. And what did he do? He prayed, father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Isaiah 53.7 says he was oppressed, he was afflicted. Yet he opened not his mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before it shearers his silent. So he opened not his mouth. So he's saying, servant, you have it bad on the job. You have a harsh master who's treating you in ways that just are not just. Instead of rebelling against him, revolting against him, have you considered living for Christ in front of him? Perhaps it'll give you opportunity to share the hope that lies within you. And it can transform your relationship from master-slave to brothers. And when you become a brother, then who knows perhaps it'll give you opportunity to be sent free. But if you're thinking you've got a bad deal, then remember the one who actually died for you and when you begin to measure the extremity of your pain, the injustice of your treatment, perhaps you ought to measure it against the Son of God who died in the fashion that he did. He says in verse 24, who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we having died to sins might live for righteousness by whose tribes you were healed. You see, Christ committed himself to the one who judges righteously and I should be doing the same. He bore my sins in his body. He made atonement for me. He died for me. So that I might be made free in him. Second Corinthians 5.15 says he died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again.  He did to sin, but alive in him, recognize that. He made atonement. He satisfied his father's demands.  Salvation is costly. And God demonstrated that in that he gave his son to die on the cross for us. I don't automatically deserve it. I receive it by faith. I ask Christ to forgive me a sinner because he died not for his own sins. He did no sin. He died for me, the sinner. Every person in this room has had somebody wrong them and every person in this room has wronged somebody else. That's just human life. That's what we do. We do it well too. We've harmed others and been harmed by others. That's what we do. That's human nature. Sometimes the wound has gone deeply within us. Sometimes it's gone so deep that we don't even realize it's there. And that wound only appears sometimes when somebody has done something that provokes that, causes it to come to the surface. You get married and everything's going well and then your mate says something to you that triggers something, a response that you didn't even know was still there and it comes out. Before you know it, you're saying things like, don't you ever say that to me or don't treat me that way.  And you start to think, well, that reminded me of when I was a little boy and before you know it, you're remembering things that were done that were unjust. You have a wound that you're not even aware of and it's so deep that it only comes out when it's provoked. And we get upset. We get upset because we've been treated unjustly. We've been treated unkindly and we're gonna show that we have respect for ourselves and you're gonna respect me too. Some of us carry that. We've been treated wrongly. We have suffered injustice. It has to come out. It has to be dealt with. As a kid, I was walking in my backyard and I stepped on a stick and it pierced my heel, my right heel. I said, remember, it pierced my heel. And you know, when you step on something, how you immediately respond to it and I remember just jumping and hitting the ground and there it was just sticking out of my heel and so I took this stick and I pulled that out of my foot and I looked at my heel and rubbed it and it looked like everything was out.  I wonder what's wrong with it. I remember sitting down and drawing my heel up so that I could actually see my heel, my right heel and there was a black spot, a darkened spot on my heel but it was covered up, it was covered up and I remember pressing on it like, what is that? And when I pressed on it, it actually rose to the surface and it was the tip of the stick that I had stepped on, a splinter that had gone deep. And so for the two or three days that I walked with it, it had actually begun to rise to the surface so when I pressed it, it actually came out and I remember removing it, throwing it away and then it healed and over the years I came to realize that there are wounds in my life that are similar to that splinter and I received a wound, you know, I doubt with it the way that I deal with whatever, maybe ignoring it or maybe just saying, oh, I just, you know, I'll deal with this later, whatever but then something provokes me and that wound comes to the surface. You don't even realize it's there but it is and it comes to the surface and it'll come in a different way, one way or another but it comes. I remember going to speak to a professor friend of mine, Dr. George Moore at Biola College when I was there as a young man, as a freshman and I was upset because somebody had gotten me angry and hurt me and I remember walking in and I remember sitting down with him and I said, you know, Dr. Moore, I'd like some counsel and he said, what can I help you with? I said, somebody has sinned against me and I'm so angry. I said, I just want harm for them. I mean, I was in this mentality that if I read the obituaries and saw their name, I'd be happy, they're dead, good. That was where I was at and he says Dave, he says, you know, you need to, you need to let it go and I said, I can't. He says, you've got to forgive and I said, I can't, I can't. He said, you need to, you're commanded to. He said, Jesus forgave you and I said, that's his job. You ever think like that? That's God's job. It's God's job to forgive because he's God. He can forgive because he's God. And that's how I thought and I told him that. I said, of course he forgives, that's his job. And he says, no, wait a minute, son. He said, he doesn't need to forgive. He could judge you, he chose to forgive and he commanded you that you are to forgive even as Christ Jesus has forgiven you and until you release this anger, until you release this hatred, you will never be healed and you will never be used by God. He said, and I'll give you one little thing he said that I'll never forget. He said, you think that your life is the average Christian's life. He said, let me tell you something. He goes, he said, young men don't always succeed in winning their parents to Christ like you brought your mom and your dad to Jesus. He said, David, God has something he wants you to do. And unless you let this go, you will never be used by the Lord the way God wants to use you. You've got to forgive. You've got to let it go because if you don't, you are gonna put yourself on the shelf and you will not be used by the Lord. I made a decision as a young man back then so long ago now that I wanted to be used by the Lord and that pain that was like that splendor in my soul came to the surface. It had to come out completely. That came through confession. That came by asking God to forgive me as sinner. It came from me realizing that my life is no different than anybody else's and the pain that I suffer, others have suffered too. And that if I don't release these things into the hands of the Lord, then I'm gonna suffer with them alone. And that's what I've been doing now for many years is releasing these things. Why? Because Christ suffered for me, because Jesus died for me, because Jesus forgave me, because Jesus, when he was reviled, didn't revile. When he suffered, he didn't call God's vengeance on them, but he prayed for them. Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. And in doing so, he warned those who were at one time his enemies. He warned them over to become his friends. And that comes because God does that work in our life. He died on the cross for me that I might live for him. He says in verse 25, you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls. You were like sheep just wandering off on your own. Before you were saved, you weren't living for God, you were living for yourself, but Jesus has gathered you through his sacrificial death. Because he said in John 12, 32, and I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to myself, because you got a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ dying on a cross for you. It wasn't for just the sin of the whole world, it was for you personally, individually. God so loved the world, but that world includes you. And he gave his only begotten son so that you might believe and you might be saved. And that's what transforms your life. That's what causes you to be different. That's what causes me to not blame God for the things that I go through. But to realize that, that he can use even the things that I consider to be the most painful. He can use those things to conform me into the image of Jesus Christ and transform me into an individual who can be used by him for his glory. So rather than holding these things inside, we release them to him. It's an attitude of submission. So the slave says, why should I obey a harsh master? And the Apostle Peter's answer is because Jesus submitted to the will of his father and he gave you an example that you would follow in his steps. And he suffered too and he didn't deserve it. And sometimes you suffer because you do. But Jesus didn't.  And your life can be changed and forgiven because that splinter of sin can rise to the surface through confession and that broken heart can be healed by the one who is the master at healing broken hearts. And he can transform you to become like him.  This world is not your home. You're just passing through.  You'll only have joy as he wipes away the tears from my eyes and brings us into that which he has prepared for us from the foundation of the world. A mansion that has been prepared specifically for us because we have trusted his son as our savior.


Transition metal carbides or nitrites, emzines, have been discovered in 2011 and have attracted attention due to their unique properties. However, their low accessible surface area and poor processability caused by restacking has hindered their practical use. Recent progress in constructing emzine assemblies from 2D to 3D at the macro and or micro level is summarized along with the mechanisms of assembly. The possible uses of emzine assemblies in energy conversion and storage, electromagnetic interference, shielding and absorption, and other applications are also discussed.

What's going on party people, this is your boy Rich from Rich TV Live, so pretty big news today. The government decided in America that they're going to give out $1,000 to people and they want to do it soon. The government has announced that they want to give out $1,000 to the people and they want to do it soon. What do you guys think about that? What do you guys think about the fact that the government wants to give out $1,000 to the people and they want to do it soon? What's up man? The American President Donald Trump is stepping up to the play and saying that if you make a million, you're not getting a check. But if you need the money, we're giving you a $1,000 check. What do you guys think about that? Donald Trump, President of America, stepping up giving the people a $1,000 check. What do you guys think about that? It's pretty big news, eh? Stepping up man, I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen anything like it. Donald Trump came out and said that he wants to get within the next two weeks $1,000 to every American who isn't making millions. That was the statement from Donald Trump today and I said wow. Now Trudeau is saying that similar type support is coming for the Canadian economy. I apologize, I don't know what happened there. People got excited. I guess I was saying something wrong. But Trudeau is saying that he is going to also be supporting the Canadian people and providing support, financial support and assistance for the Canadian people. So don't panic guys. Money is coming, $1,000 checks for everybody, $1,000 checks for everybody. Let's go, $1,000 checks for everybody. Let's go, $1,000 checks for Americans that are non-millionaires. What do you guys think about that? If you guys like that, smash the like button. If you like the idea of giving $1,000 checks to everybody that is non-American, non-Canadian, Canadian, American and everything else in the world, please smash the like button. He said that everyone who is not making millions, those were the words from the president. Anyone? He's like oh, you're not going to get a check if you're making millions. So I think that there's going to be some type of a household income that they will determine. I don't know how they're going to do it, but they're saying they plan to do it within two weeks. That will stimulate the economy. That will be good for the American economy. That will make sure that people have money to pay for groceries. People pay their rents. And that will really help. I think an extra $1,000 will be huge. What do you guys think? Please comment guys. I'd love to know what you guys think. America, get ready for $1,000 checks, $1,000 checks for everybody. Now it's not five grand a month, which is what people are going to be losing, or ten grand a month that some people are going to be losing, but it's still an extra $1,000 so it's still going to help. And it's going to help the people that need it the most. So I think it's a great idea because a lot of people are scared about missing work. So at least Pantru says I'm going to buy ACB with a $1,000 check. Hey man, buy food man. Buy groceries. Stimulate the economy. If you want to buy ACB, then buy ACB. Do you think that's really the best place you should put your money? Is ACB the number one place to put your money? Ask yourself that. Obviously $1,000 isn't going to save businesses, but at least it's going to help people that are low income people a lot. It's going to help the low income people a lot. It's a large amount of money for low income Americans. And Canada's going to have to do something similar. Canada's going to have to do something similar. Hey listen man, I'm not telling you it's a lot, but it's a start. He might send another 1,002 weeks after that. We have no idea what type of stimulus they're prepared to give. We have no idea. That might be just the first check. Maybe they give $1,000 every two weeks. I have absolutely no idea. I'm not the one. I'm just the messenger man. Don't kill the messenger man, man. Don't kill the messenger man. I'm just telling you what's popping. I'm telling you what's going on. I'm not. I'm not here to tell you whether or not it's good or not good. It's better than zero. Zero would really suck. $1,000. You could pay some bills, you could buy some groceries. I think it's a hell of a good start. What do you guys think? I'd love to know what you guys think. If you think it's a good idea, smash the like button, guys. If you are alive, smash the like button. Please, smash the like button if you are alive. And don't panic, guys. We're going to look. I left my home. I'm not wearing a mask. I am practicing social distancing. Are you in self-quarantine? These are all words you need to understand in 2020. These are very trending words. Social distancing. You can't be in large groups of ten or more people. Casual sex may be a thing of the past. It may be a thing of the past. Look, we have people that are alive in here. We got 22 likes. There's people that are alive in here. It's good. It's good to see people are alive. Thank you guys for the likes. Yes, they are going to give Americans $1,000. They are going to give Americans $1,000. And the Prime Minister of Canada is saying that they are going to do very, very, very aggressive stimulus as well. So hopefully we get $1,000 or more in Canada too. What do you guys think about that? Because we're all losing money. Everybody's losing money. If you want us to stay at home, everybody's losing money. You guys can print it, right? Give everybody $10,000. You want to stimulate your economy? Give everybody $10,000, even the rich. Stimulate the economy. Tell them to go and buy things. Tell them to go and spend the money on food, groceries, and to stimulate the economy. Buy things, buy groceries, buy things on Amazon. Get them, share your home. Yeah, you know, the world is going to change, but we need to adapt. We need to adapt. We are not cavemen. We need to adapt. Give everybody $10,000. Give everybody $10,000. Do you want to stimulate the economy? Give everybody $10,000. Share the wealth with the people.  Give everybody $10,000, and then take $2,000 for yourself for tax.  Just leave everybody alone with tax money. That's what they should do. If you want to stimulate the economy, stimulate the economy then. Don't give people $1,000. Give them $10,000. Now, hey, $1,000 is a good start. I'm good with it. In two weeks, $1,000 to every American. That's not a millionaire. We're not making millions. That was the statement. I'm good with it. I think it's great. If the Canadian government does the same thing, it's going to help. I'll tell you that much. It's going to help a lot of people. So I think it's a good idea. Nicholas says, Boris Johnson will never give us $1,000 each. Exactly. So America has to recognize what the president is doing. And there's 330 million Americans. From what? Is it 330 million Americans? So let's just say 300 million of them are not millionaires. Let's say 30 million are millionaires. 300 million get $1,000 each. That's a lot of money. 300 million at a zero, $3 billion at another zero, $30 billion at another zero, $300 billion. Boom. $1,000, $300 billion. So to give everybody that's not a billionaire $10,000,000 would cost $3 trillion. Just do it. Get her done. Get the check. Come on, boys. You're printing it. You always wanted to be a hero. Now's your chance. Give everybody $10,000. You want to stimulate the economy? Give everybody $10,000. Keep two Gs. Give that to the government. Everybody pays their taxes. Everybody's up to date. Everybody gets eight Gs. Government gets two Gs. You guys just keep printing. You're printing it, guys. Come on. Let's be real. It's printed, right? It's printed, right? It's printed. The money's printed, guys. You know that the money that we work for? It's printed. You know that, right? You guys know that. I hope you realize that. I hope you realize that the money's printed, guys. That money that we work so hard for? Yeah, it's printed. They just printed. So you think they can't print more? Inflation, there's that. Come on, man. We're in the middle of a pandemic. Inflation. You think anybody cares about inflation? We're being told to stay home. How are we going to pay our bills if we're staying at home? Credit card companies should give us all like a break. All credit card companies should give everybody a break for three months. Give everybody a break. Cut your interest rates down, man. Give everybody a break. Help the people. All these rich organizations. It's time to give back. It's time to give back to the small guys that have to go sit at home now. If we got to go sit at home, help the small people. If the government's going to give money, give more money. You want to stimulate the economy? Give everybody money. You don't want people to panic? Give people money. Simple. Give people a break with their taxes. Give people a break with their credit card bills. Give people money. Canada and America were some of the richest countries in the world. Great Britain. We are like some of the richest, most powerful countries in the world. Give the people the money, man. You guys are just printing it. Give it to the people now. Give it to the people. It's being printed. Give it to the people. Give it to the people, man. Give it to the people, man. You want to stimulate the economy? Give the people money. Share the wealth. Stimulate the stock market. Stimulate the housing market. Give people money. Share the wealth. Encourage people to continue to go to work. Stay safe. Continue on with their lives. Take precautions. If people have to go home, give the people money. Give them enough to survive. I know here in Vancouver the average person is probably spending 10 grand a month. That's probably average. Straight up. I would say 5 to 10 grand a month is average in Vancouver across the board. Give everyone 10 cheese. You don't want people to panic. Give them 10 cheese. Give them 20 cheese. Just print it. It's being printed. Just print it. It's paper. Print it. Print it. And give it to the people. And the people will spend it. What else are they going to do? Tell everybody that they can trade and buy stocks from home. Stimulate the economy. Let everybody make a ton of money in the markets. Ban short selling. You want to see the markets explode? Ban short selling. It's pretty simple, man. It's not rocket science. Here at Rich TV, man. I got all the answers for you guys right here. Give people money. They'll go home. Tell them to go home. Give them money. It's pretty simple. It's not rocket science. It's not rocket science, man. Give the people money. Give the money. Give it to the people. Why people always want to call me when I'm live? People always want to call me when I'm live. Always. It's like a magnet for being like...  So, I think there's some solutions to solve these problems. Give people breaks on taxes. Give people money. Tell people to go home. People need to work. We still need businesses to operate. So, let people work. Let business operate. Tell them that they should go home if they don't need to do anything. And encourage home-based businesses. Encourage people to work from home as much as possible. If there's jobs that people need to work, then you know what? They should wear a mask and there should be social distancing. Everybody should be working at least six feet apart. This is already being proven. It's already being proven. In other countries like China, South Korea, places like Hong Kong, this is what they're doing. People are already back to work. We can do the same things. We just have to change the way we live. Everyone has to start wearing masks. Create social distancing. Don't go in large groups of people. And if people are sick, they need to go to the hospital and they need to get the right vaccines and they need to get the right support and the right help to get better. Give people money. Print money and give people money. The economy is going to go down through a downturn. There's going to be a recession. If you want people not to panic, give people money. Credit card companies should give people a break. They should reduce their interest rates. Give people payment holidays. People shouldn't have to make payments on their credit cards for the next few months. Credit card companies aren't going to start. They're making tons of money. Give people some payment holidays. You want to see people get better? Help them financially. That's how the government can help the people. Help us financially. Help us with testing for the coronavirus. Help us financially. Allow people to still go to work that need to go to work so that businesses can continue to operate. Cannabis companies need to have workers so people can still get their cannabis because cannabis is medicine. People need to get their cannabis. Cannabis is medicine. I think that border should be closed. I think all borders should be closed. I think all travel should be shut down. Nobody should be traveling on cruise ships. Nobody should be traveling on planes. I think the whole world should shut down until we figure out a solution. That's what I think. We need to get rid of money and try to allow people to work from home as much as possible and try to stimulate the economy in different ways. Encourage home-based businesses. Encourage social distancing. Encourage people to continue to spend money and live their lives as normally as humanly possible and stimulate the economy by giving people money. It's no different than what welfare is. You're going to give welfare to people, then why wouldn't you give money to the people to stimulate your economy in a time where people are being told to go home? When people are being told to go home, people are going to go home. So that means people are not going to be working, which means the economy will not be stimulated. If you want to stimulate the economy, then give people money. If you give people money, people will go outside their homes and they will spend it. Guaranteed. If you want people to be able to pay to give everybody three-month payment holidays, credit card companies, if you guys are watching, give your customers a three-month payment holiday. Your customers will love you. Reduce your interest rates by 50%. These are different things you guys can do to really earn the trust and loyalty of your customers. It's not rocket science. Everybody should be thinking about what they can do to help their fellow men in a time like this where the entire world is at risk of a deadly virus and we don't know how deadly it has the potential to become because it can mutate. And what's happening in Italy potentially is a very frightening thing. We have to worry about what could potentially happen here in our communities in Canada, the United States, the UK, and everywhere where everyone is watching all over the world. But the White House, the American government has come out and said that everyone who is not making millions is going to get money and they figured out they're thinking of four or five ways to send money to Americans. And the number they said was $1,000. Smash the like button if you like the decision by the government to give $1,000 to the people. I think it's a great idea. I think it's brilliant. I hope they can do more. And I hope this is just the start. And this is a really great way to stimulate the economy and not make people panic. It's a great way to stimulate the economy and not have people panic. Just give them money. I think it's an amazing idea. It's really an amazing idea. It's going to put a lot of people that were in a bind in a really much better headspace. Yeah, grow your own if you can. If you can grow your own, grow your own. Grow your own. What about hyperinflation? I think right now we have bigger things to worry about. We need to worry about our survival. We need to worry about our economy. We need to worry about our jobs. We need to worry about our businesses. The government, the banks, they need to stimulate businesses. They need to give everybody money. They need to give the public money. They need to give businesses money. They need to give everybody tax breaks. Credit card companies should give people payment holidays. They should give us a huge break on the interest rates that we're paying on our credit cards. These are things that need to happen. And the credit card companies will be heroes. The governments will be heroes because they do this. Hey man, whatever you got to do to save the economy and save the people, man. People just need to be saved. Save the people. I think Trump's doing a good job. I think under these circumstances, Trump is doing a very good job of standing up and protecting the economy, protecting the people. And clearly you can see that because the market's up today. Now I'm not suggesting that the market won't be down today. We are going in through our recession. Clearly. You have millions of dollars into the market and you continue to do that. You're going to have some days where the market's going to go up. So you're not going to have this just like consistent crash. You're going to have some days where the market's going to go up. It's not going to just be a consistent crash. So I think that's interesting. You know when you think about that. You take everything into consideration. What do you guys think about the fact that the White House has announced that they are going to $1000 to every American that is not making millions. What do you guys think about that? Left to know your opinion on it. If you think it's a good idea smash the like button. I'm going to grab something here from Mickey D's. What do you guys think I should get? Do you guys have any guesses? Oh, what are we going to get here? Breakfast all day. Double Corona Pounder with cheese. What are the choices? I mean, it's McDonald's. You guys know the choices?

the end for Matt Sadler's side as all they can hope for is a win that can take it to the last day. Bradford could do some sides, a huge favour on their own with the success today in the fight for the playoffs. It's not completely impossible for Bradford that they could sneak into the top seven themselves as before kick off the home fans remember those that they have lost over the course of the season. Walsall fan to be kicking every ball, throwing every ball alongside those players on the pitch as they're in here and here's Ryan Sturck and he's taking it! Seven minutes in, it's all Walsall, well done to score and that's Ryan Sturck who's managed to get it. Isaac Hutchinson's run was one that the Bradford players were nowhere stopping and it went straight to Sturck who was able to slot it beyond the Bradford keeper and give Walsall the early advantage here on home soil. Into the box, there's the header, Gordon's header as well saved from one Gordon to the other, Liam picking out Josh, although Josh unable to head it in. Walsall do start the day just outside the playoff places.  Mo Fowle spotted a weakness and spotted uncertainty and heads in to double Walsall's lead. Well, lawyer Gocke and Walker could have come to an understanding, could have come to an agreement.  What is the test of Bradford like now? Have they got it in them? Point turn, nice turn. Kelly, Tyreek Wright will eventually come into the penalty area. Small wood, first time. He's going in towards Cork, he's wrestling and is able to guide it in. Andy Cooke pulls what back from Bradford. Well, he was having to toss up with a couple of Walsall players in there, but he won the battle, able to get up above Fox in it and Bradford have pulled it back and it's game on here. Looking for Fowle. He's hit the post and how Walsall was so close to going, 3-1 up. Well, he hit it, called it sweet, bounces off the post and Bradford survived. Point turn. Three shakes, he's had to say no foul, calmly won the ball, he dives in again. Small wood. Shot from one that's tame and one off target. I think the pressure must have been felt from behind him from Fowle. Might have just rushed Walker there with that attempt as there was a foul by Smallwood, Cooke with the header on. There's an opportunity and Jamie Walker takes it. From 2-0 down, Bradford level it up. Andy Cooke towards Jamie Walker and it's 2-2. Ball in, Cooke winning the header again, this time to set up the fellow Bradford player, Wolgett. And with five minutes of the first half to play, it is now 2-2 here. Brilliant comeback it is by Bradford, they want more as it stands. It's now point turn. Get in the shot away. Down low to save is the keeper, Jackson Smith. How big a save is that? As we're closing in on half-time. Point turn. Found the way into the penalty area, eventually gets the shot away. Well denied though by the keeper. Who come into this? Four games unbeaten. He's gone into the back of point and free kick. Looking round and finding right. Point in here. He gets the cross in. Cooke's header is blocked. It's cut to Walker. Bradford in the lead. Cooke did it. Bradford for the first time today. Get there, nose in front. As Walker grabs a second and a third for his side. Well quickly have the Bradford fans protest for a penalty. Turn into celebration as Walker fires it in. Just after Andy Cooke's header was blocked by the Walsall defence. No stopping that from Smith. And it's 3-2 here in Bradford's favour. We've seen Bradford respond. What's the mental strength like for Walsall? Foul. Onto Hutchinson. Hits it wide. Well, we've seen him a couple of times today. Let fly from range. Hit the post in the first half. Target with that effort, however. Looks across. He's taken off the head by the Walsall defence. Halliday into the ground. Covenant hitting it and saving it is Smith. He's trying to roll it out but Walker's just blocked him off. I think he's going to get his name taken here. He's going to be shown a yellow card here is Jamie Walker. Well, cross came in from right. He's a vital header away from Arland. Halliday into Covenant. He tried to turn it home but it straight at the keeper. Hutchinson, a lot of Walsall's play goes through this man. Looking to do so again. It's an opportunity. One that Walsall can't score from. And they won a penalty as a result of Jamil Matt going down. Hutchinson tried to play it through. It came off Platt into Matt. Got the shot away. Saved well by Walker in the Bradford goal. The appeals for a penalty fall on deaf ears. Hutchinson going for it and hitting it over. I think on that occasion he probably should have played it to a fellow Redshirt rather than going for the glory. The wild attempt that from Isaac Hutchinson. The battling and fouling Tierney, he's already been carded. And Jamie Walker here is going to be shown a second yellow card and he's off. Well, these two goals have seen Bradford get level and then take the lead. Now they're a man-light for the remainder of this game with Jamie Walker seeing a second yellow card and then following that, seeing Red.  As Walsall maybe might sense blood here. Certainly taking his time in going off his Jamie Walker which he now has to start to accept his fate which we'll see him have his game cut short. Daniels. While it goes, Cross goes in.  Fisted away by Walker. What on earth has that stayed out? It's now Hutchinson going for it again. In the way of the shot. Tomkinson. Well, there must have been home fans inside this place that expected that ball to end up in the net. It goes off Tomkinson, clips the post, goes the other side of the goal and then Walker just has to spring into action to get rid. And there's the full-time whistle. Well, what a victory it is for Bradford. Ten men have held on to win and they've done it as well from coming from behind. They were two nil down inside the opening. 16 minutes when Ryan Sturck and Mo Fowle scored. However though, Andy Cook and Jamie Walker would see Bradford come from two nil down to win 3-2. Jamie Walker would also be sent off. It's a big win for Bradford in more ways than one as it dents Walsall's playoff hopes. Full-time Walsall 2. Bradford 3.


Hello, everybody. Welcome back to JSA TV and JSA Podcast. We're recovering the latest stories, trends, and innovations. Live here from beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii, we're live on the Coral Lounge lobby, basically right outside of the showroom 4 at PTC24. Very excited to be here on the final day of PTC on Wednesday. It has been an amazing week. We're excited to be joined by Mark Swift. You are VP of Engineering and Product Management for StarLine, which is a La Grande brand. Welcome for joining us. Yeah, you as well. Yeah, absolutely. We are just going to dive right in. We have a lot to talk about. As you can already see, we have a prop today. We have a good visual for you all. Let's talk about energy consumption monitoring and management. We're hearing more about revenue grade energy monitoring systems. That's what we want to focus our conversation around today. Can you talk about why that's so important, basically, for the digital infrastructure industry and for data centers? Definitely. What we see with a lot of our major accounts, these facilities consume so much power. They need to have the ability to understand how much power they're using, benchmark where they are, and then as they're implementing their different strategies to reduce power consumption, then they will use our metering platform to be able to get that information, which is critical for them to make the decisions to run these facilities. Okay, perfect. Nice, short and sweet. Perfect answer. I like that. Let's talk specifically about your product line. Starline has just unveiled, I know you put out an announcement this week here at PTC, about your M70 critical power monitor here. Can you just tell us the origin story? What inspired you all to develop this third generation of your product? The story starts about 10 years ago. The critical power monitor platform was actually purpose-built for our application. It really has the features and functionality necessary to be able to deliver the information to completely manage our system. This platform is the next iteration of that, so we have new processor, faster RAM, built-in integral web page, and some different things to really be able to give in users that next generation platform that they need to be able to support this. Excellent. Perfect. We'll talk about features and functionalities a little bit more than for the M70. Could you name maybe the top five features that you would communicate about this product and what makes it stand out in the market? Yeah, definitely. Like I said, the faster RAM, the new processor in there, so it's a cold-fire processor that we have, really gives the functionality and the speed necessary to be able to really have this thing function in the manner possible that we need to be able to do that. Perfect. Perfect. Thank you for that. Your announcement that went out this week here at PTC talks about the M70, and it says it's the only meter that will work well with track busway systems. Can you talk a little bit more about that? Yeah, really, like I said, it was purpose-built for our application. We have a lot of scenarios. This plug-in unit that you see here is actually how our customers tap off power to be able to power their racks of equipment. We actually have it so it can monitor up to six different receptacles out of that box and give you revenue grade metering on each of those outlets. So really, the densities that customers need from the busway itself is a really pluggable space of importance whenever you're installing a busway system and being able to maximize the locations where you can tap off power is of definite benefit with this metering platform and then being able to get the information from each of those receptacles. So really, it has been built for our application and specifically for busway. Perfect. All right. Well, that was a perfect overview of what you've got going on here. I think just enough to get people excited to go learn more on your website. So where would you direct folks who want to learn more? Anybody who wants to learn more can go to our website at StarLinePower.com and all the information on this platform is there and can be readily accessible. All right. StarLinePower.com. Definitely check it out. Keep an eye on the space. Follow them on LinkedIn and get a lot of new features and functionality that you outlined here today. So thank you, Mark, for joining us and for bringing this meter so that our viewers can see and hear a little bit more about it. We appreciate you joining us today and thank you viewers for hanging out with us here live at PTC at 24. Happy networking. Thank you.

From Soju's radio and television, this is the Army Now. This mock trial is the final stage in a four-day-long justice class held in the Spinbold Act district. Afghan judges, prosecutors, border police, and other individuals in the Afghan legal system attended the class, which is overseen by the Justice Sector Support Program. Some students came from as far as Kabul and Kandahar provinces, and most of the students have attended other classes held by the JSSP. But this is the first time they examined case studies or held a mock trial. The students examined five cases with crimes dealing from burglary to murder and had to discuss possible actions for all justice personnel involved. Students hope more Afghans will attend future classes. New individuals, new faces that are coming here, they need to be trained so they can do their job in the future. They will be replacing us.


In this study, researchers examined the relationship between serum lipids and cholesterol cellular metabolism in lung cancer patients. They found that triglyceride levels were positively associated with body mass index, BMI, while HDL cholesterol was negatively associated with BMI, seroactive protein, CRP, and overall survival. Additionally, they observed that total cholesterol was negatively associated with tumor size, serum CRP, and overall survival. Furthermore, they found that HMGCR and ACAT1 were upregulated, while ABCA1 was down-regulated in the tumoral region of their lung cancer cohort, suggesting that cholesterol-disregulated cellular export may play a role in lung cancer development and progression. This article was authored by Philip Hartman, Dennis I. Truffer, Kottier-Hohenberger, and others.
