Okay, welcome back everyone. Welcome to this class on Keys to Supernatural Ministry. I know we went over by a few minutes in the earlier lecture so I think students will need a few more minutes to connect to this class. But thank you. Okay, so we're going to take a moment to pray and then we will get started and so the others will join in. Could somebody just pray with us together as a class before we get started? Christopher, why don't you pray with us please? Yes, first of all, Heavenly Father, we thank you for the time you've given us in the classes that we've already attended as well as the class that we've been attending now. To get to know you better, to get to understand your word and to help us to become more like you, Jesus, and also be with us, Jesus, towards the rest of the day. Keep us in good health, keep us safe from harm, and help us to gain as much knowledge, wisdom in the class ahead and applied in our lives. We use the name we pray. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Christopher, and thank you all for joining us in this class today. So we are going through Keys for Supernatural Life and Ministry. We have covered the first two keys, which is understanding the realm of the spirit and faith. So we spent actually two lectures on faith. I want to get into the third and possibly the fourth keys today that I want to present to us. We'll see how things go. The third key is the power of the word. Now, I haven't released the lecture notes for it yet. I will do so later today after the class. The third key that I want to present to us to consider here is the power of the word. So first is understand the realm of the spirit. Understand the realm of the spirit. So when things are happening, you are very aware that there is a spiritual realm and you can deal with things from the realm of the spirit. You need to understand the dynamics of it. You know, I had something very interesting happen. It actually happened today, the day before, the day before. So today is Thursday. Yeah. So the day before, I was having a conversation with someone. And now this is a very simple thing, but I just want to, I'm sharing it with you just to explain where, you know, I'm going back to the very first key, understand the realm of the spirit is very important. So I was having this conversation with this person and it was just a normal conversation. And I was sharing something, but it was completely misunderstood. I was, you know, and so then, you know, the person that was saying was saying something different from what I was saying. It's completely misunderstood. And it actually was turned back around in a way that was putting me in, you know, it was coming back as an accusation. So I just kept quiet. I didn't want to, you know, get into an argument and just kept quiet. And then I suddenly realized, hey, you know, the enemy can take a simple conversation and, you know, use that, even the words we are speaking, use it in somebody else's understanding in a wrong way. So this is what I did. And I don't do this all the time, but in this particular case, this is what I did. So the next day that is, that was yesterday, I was just praying, I took authority. I said in the name of Jesus, I take authority over Satan. I take authority over every kind of spirit that has started to cause confusion. And, you know, and then it's putting these, I basically applied second Corinthians chapter 10 verse four and five, right? We, though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh for the weapons of our warfare, not carnal, but a mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ and having in their dinners to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. So Paul is really, you know, we often use second Corinthians 10, four and five with respect to ourselves, but to the way it was written, Paul is using it in a way he was dealing with the community of people was dealing with the Corinthians, specifically saying, look, I can use these weapons and dealing with what was happening there. Of course, you can use it, we use it for ourselves, you know, to protect our own minds. That is good. But in the way it was written, Paul is saying, I'm doing this, I have the authority to do this over you. So that's what I did. In this particular case, it was, you know, a conversation with a person, but you can, you know, Paul was applying it to community. So I did that. So in the name of the authority over this, I will not love this to continue. I'm commanding it to stop. I'm commanding peace and good understanding to come in.  Everything just perfect.  And after, you know, the next day after praying and doing this, there was so much of peace. It is like that whole thing disappeared. But the point was it made me very aware that the enemy can even take our simple words and try to twist it, turn it, put it, cause confusion in the minds of people in order to break down, you know, relationships or cause division and strife and all those kinds of things. Because that's what the devil wants to do. But when we know, when we understand the realm of the spirits, then we know what to deal with. Okay, so that's the first point we talked about the realm of the spirit. The second thing that we spent two weeks on was about faith, a second key of faith, very important key for us. And then how we receive by faith and how we help people receive by faith is so important in experiencing the supernatural. The third key that I want to talk about today is the power of the word of God, the power of the word of God. And I think many of us understand this word, this truth.  And something that happened in the last couple of weeks, it was very unusual. I think two weeks ago, I think two or three weeks ago, recent, recent. In one week, I had three different married couples reach out for help, three different. And, you know, they were having problems in the marriage, three, one week. Now, usually, I would send them to our counselors. I would say, go to go for marriage counseling, you know. But the situations in these three cases were different. In one case, the first case, the husband didn't refuse to go to any counselor. In the second case, they've already gone through a lot of counseling from different people. And in the third case, similarly, it was a little more aggressive situation. So they had already been through some help, it was not, you know, not helping. So it's just like, hey, it's all coming at the same week. But you know, now I'm not a, I'm not a marriage counselor. I'm not, you know, that's not what I do. But these are people that we need to help. It was very interesting. So in the first case, I told the wife, I said, you know, tell the husband, I want to talk to both of you. And so we set up a call. And so he agreed for whatever reason, he agreed to speak. And so that's how it got started. And the other two, they were ready to speak, even though I so. But what happened was, it was around the same time, especially when I started off with the first, before I started with the working with the first couple of months, I was all coming together the same week, you know, to handle all three. It's not easy. And I was praying. It kind of just dropped into my spirit, how to handle this, this particular, this particular situation. It's like, here are five steps you walk these couples through. And usually, you know, when I meet with a couple, they'll come and both will start talking about history, you know, what happened 10 from 10 years ago, they will start complaining and all of that. But this time, it just came, you know, just this whole, this whole idea of how to work with these couples came, said, don't even ask them anything about the past. Now, start with the word of God. Start with the word of God. So with all these three couples, I'm following the same five steps. You know, it just all happened the same week. Step one for all of them. And I'm not saying this is a magical formula or neither am I saying, you know, this is the only solution. And that's why I'm just giving you an example of what is happening. Okay, I'm just sharing with you. That's all. So don't say, you know, this is the only way to do it. No, I'm just saying this is what happened. Just like I think they started three weeks, two, three weeks ago, just recently. Anyway, so with each of these couples, of course, we're doing this on zoom because we're not meeting in person. And some of them are in different cities. Actually, two of them in our city, one of them in one couple is in a different city. But we're doing this on zoom. So the first call, I just said, see, step one, we need to go to the Word of God. Find out what did God say about marriage? I'm going to give you five scriptures. I want you to you to study the scriptures. And I'll meet with you after three days. I want you to tell me what is God's instruction for you as a husband, what is God's instruction for you as a wife? So I didn't sit down and listen to why they are fighting, why they're having all this is no first thing, go to the Word of God. Now, what is so amazing is in all these, all three couples, they've all taken this so seriously. And I don't know how it is happening. You know, you would think they will fight and do all of this No. All went, they read those five passages, scripture, I just, you know, five passages on marriage, what the Bible says. And the Word of God, God's Word started working in their hearts. And I can tell you now, it's only been, you know, three weeks or something now. Sorry, maybe two or three weeks. Okay, so I'm meeting with them like, you know, online every three days, one couple, I'm meeting them once a week, but the others are meeting every Saturdays and Wednesdays. It's amazing. I told them I didn't tell explain the scriptures to them, I tell them you read these five scriptures. Step one, what is God's instruction? What is the gap? Step two, what is the gap? What do you need to change in order to follow the scriptures? Step three, I'm giving you these, I think I gave them another set of eight, eight to 10 scriptures. These are the promises concerning the home of the family, the children. What did God say? Read the scriptures. So what is happening here? In dealing with what's going on, we are intentionally exposing them to the power of the Word of God. And that's all that was, you know, so these five steps that came into my heart when this whole thing, all these problems came at the same time, was don't do what you normally do. Sit and listen to why they are fighting and why they are arguing. No, just start with the Word. Tell them to go to the Word. Read the scriptures. Why? Because of the power of the Word. And I'm seeing, and it's only been about three weeks now, I'm seeing the change that's happening in these three couples. Now all of them have been married nine plus years. So it's not early in the marriage. They've already been married nine plus years. I'm seeing in their lives, all three of them, how the Word of God is changing them. I'm not doing any big counseling or I'm just letting them, and I told them, every day you read one chapter in Proverbs. So read these five scriptures every day, one chapter in Proverbs. Seeing them being exposed to the Word and letting the Word bring about the change. Now this is not supernatural healing in the sense of physical healing, but it definitely is, it's the Word of God affecting these situations, these individuals and in the situations they're going through. So this is the third key I want us to emphasize, I want to emphasize in the ministry, which is the power of the Word of God. And this is the same when you're dealing with, you know, whether it's a physical healing, whether it's a change in a financial situation, whether it's a change in a married situation, whether it's a emotional healing, you know, whatever the need is. Of course, the reason we are looking for the supernatural is because we want God's intervention in our life, in our life situation, different situations that people are going through. But we must understand the power of the Word of God to bring about that change, to cause that supernatural to take place. And it may take place, in this case, in working with these three couples, you know, it's taking place over time, but it's the Word of God that's, God is doing it by His Word. So what must we do in order to receive a supernatural work in our lives? Whether it's for us personally, or whether it is for people, other people, we must learn to tap into the power of the Word of God, the power of the Word of God. We must learn to tap into that because we know, we know. God works by His Word. The Word of God is alive and full of power. That means the Word of God is a carrier of the power of God. So when we receive the Word, we're actually receiving the power of the Word to work in us. So for us personally, as well as when we are ministering to people, we emphasize the Word of God. Now, many people don't like this because they just want, you know, just wave your hand at me and let the miracle happen, kind of kind of thing. Now, thank God, there are times when that happens, when somebody just lays hands on you and things happen. That is valid. God does work through that way. But to receive a medical through the Word of God means, I need to make an effort or a person, the people we are ministering to need to make an effort. And I think the best way this is captured for us is in the parable of the Sova, right? And the Jesus gave us in Mark chapter 4, Matthew 13, Mark 4, Luke 8, parable, parable scriptures on the parable of the Sova. The Soa went to Soa. Seed fell on the wayside, on stony grounds, among thorns, and on good grounds. And Jesus said, the seed is the Word of God. Miss the seed is the Word of God. Or God's Word is like seed. It carries the potential to produce in our lives. And so we intentionally take that Word into our lives. We intentionally take that Word into our lives. Since you're sowing seed, now sowing seed is takes time and effort, right?  It's not as simple as that. Sowing seed takes time. Like you have to open the Bible, you have to meditate in the scriptures, you have to receive the scriptures, you have to hear it. But Jesus said, this is the way God works. He said, so is the kingdom of God. He said, this is the way the kingdom of God is. This is one of the operations of God's kingdom. This is the one of the ways the king of the kingdom operates. The seed principle, to the seed of the Word. So we take time, receive the seed of the Word. And then it goes through the process of germination. You protect the seed and the seed produces and you receive a harvest. What is the harvest? The output of the Word of God. The Word of God being fulfilled in your life. The Word of God bearing fruit. What is that? It is supernatural. It is supernatural. So for ourselves and when we are ministering to people, whatever the need is. Right? I began by looking at an example with this marriage situation. There's a need, but the need could be something else in somebody else's life. It could be healing. It could be something else. But we take them to the same thing. God, I'm going to get them to listen to your Word. I'm going to get them to receive your Word because I know that you work through your Word. And if they can understand this, they can continue doing it on their own. So we use the Word of God as seed in order to experience the supernatural. That's one. But the same Word of God is also a sword. This is Ephesians chapter 6. So the Word is a seed. So one way I get the Word of God to work in me or in people's lives is through interacting with the Word of God as seed. You sow the seed. Another way, again, to exercise or experience the power of the Word is by using the Word of God as our sword, the sword of the Spirit. What does that mean? Ephesians 6, 17. It means the Bible says, and you take the sword of the Spirit. That means I take it. I use it. But the Holy Spirit goes into action because it's the sword of the Spirit. So the Holy Spirit gets on the situation. Now what we see in the Bible is the sword is the spoken Word.  So it's a clear indication that is the Word of God being spoken. It's coming forth. The spoken Word is the sword of the Spirit. So how do I take or how do we take the sword of the Spirit by us speaking the Word of God with our mouth? So in order to see the supernatural, here's the other way. Second way is supernatural by the power of the Word of Word is by speaking the Word of God into the situation. That means we're engaging in battle.  In the other case, you're being a soldier. But both is you're engaging with the Word of God to experience the power of God for a supernatural work to take place. So in one case, you're sewing the seed. In another case, you're speaking the Word. So there are times when people will come with their problems, with their situations, and they want a supernatural thing to take place. It's okay. Speak the Word. Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. You speak the Word. What will happen? The Holy Spirit goes into operation and the power of the Word of God goes into effect in your life to see the work of God take place, to see the miracle of God take place. So two things. The power of the Word, both for our personal lives and for people that we minister to. We get them to engage with the Word of God in these two ways. One is by sewing the seed. Another one is by speaking the Word and people begin to see things change in their lives, to begin to experience. And you can do this for yourself personally. And you can also do this for others. That means you tell them to do it. You tell them, look, you want to see the supernatural work of God. Here's one key. Here's one important way for you to experience the supernatural in your life. It's through the power of the Word. We believe in the power of the Word of God. There are two simple ways you can engage with the Word by sewing the seed of the Word in your life through reading it, meditating it, believing it. Secondly, by you speaking that Word into your circumstance. Use it as a sword against the enemy. Speak it against every work that Satan is doing. And you will see the power of the Word of God bringing a supernatural work in your life. You are with me so far? So that's the third key. First key, understand the spiritual realm. Second key we talked about is faith. Third key is the power of the Word. Speak the Word. And you saw the Word, speak the Word. I'm not doing a full study on the Word of God and that's something we've already done in other courses. I'm just highlighting this very important key of supernatural. I'm going to go to the fourth key. The fourth key is the power of a renewed mind. The power of a renewed mind. We need this key. So these are all keys. That means this is how God is going to work the supernatural for you personally or when you're ministering to other people. We have to use these keys. So the fourth key is a renewed mind. A renewed mind. What is a renewed mind and why is a renewed mind very important? I think the best way to explain a renewed mind is from the passage in Isaiah 55 verses 6 through 11. And I'm just quoting this and I'm not reading it but I'll just mention Isaiah chapter 55 verses 6 through 11. We are all familiar with this passage. Jesus says, not Jesus, Isaiah 55 verses 6 through 11. The scriptures say, let the wicked forsake his ways. Let the unrighteous man forsake his thoughts and let them come to the Lord. Let them return and I will have I will pardon them abundantly because my ways are not yours and my thoughts are not your thoughts. Whereas the heavens are high above the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. So what does God say? God is telling the wicked and the unrighteous. So we're all there at some point. He's saying, let the wicked, let the unrighteous forsake their ways and their thoughts and let them come to the Lord. And although it is not stated there, the implication is let them forsake their ways and their thoughts and let them take on the ways and thoughts of God. Because he says, look, my ways are not your ways. My thoughts are not your thoughts.  Come to me. Implication, take on my ways and my thoughts. And my ways and my thoughts are much higher than the ways and thoughts of man, is what God said. And in that context comes verse 10 and 11. He says, for as the rain comes down from heaven and waters the earth and causes the earth to bud and bring forth and, you know, give fruit, so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth, it will not return to me void. So in that context he's giving his word. That means it's the Word of God that's going to help me do this. It's the Word of God that's going to help me leave aside my ways, my thoughts, and embrace the ways and thoughts of God. So what is the renewed mind? We're talking about the fourth key. The fourth key is the power of a renewed mind. What is a renewed mind? A renewed mind is a mind that thinks in line with the ways and thoughts of God. That's a renewed mind. So in the scriptures, the New Testament scriptures, we see three states of mind. There is the natural mind, 1st Corinthians chapter 2. There is a carnal mind, Romans chapter 8. And then there is a renewed mind, Romans chapter 12. Or a spiritual mind. That's also in Romans 8. So three states. There is the natural mind, 1st Corinthians 2. There is a carnal mind, Romans chapter 8. And there is the spiritual or renewed mind. Romans 8 and Romans 12. So as a believer, we must only operate with our natural mind and our renewed mind. We need our natural mind to do natural things. So the natural mind is a mind that's limited by the five physical senses. We need that. We use it all the time. So today to connect to this class, you used your natural mind, not just spiritual minds.  That was your natural-minded book. And it's good. You need it. God created it for us. You need it. And we have to use it. The flesh, the carnal mind or the fleshly mind is a mind that is focused on the things of the flesh. It's not things on the spirit. So it's focused on gratifying the sinful, evil desires of the body and soul. So that's a fleshly mind, carnal mind. As a believer, you and I are not to have a carnal mind. You stay away from it. But the other state in which we operate is the spiritual mind, the renewed mind, which is we mind the things of the spirit, or we think in according to the ways and thoughts of God. That's the renewed mind or the spiritual mind. So as a believer, we must learn how to move between the carnal mind and the spiritual mind, or the renewed mind. So there are times we are operating in the natural mind, which we all must, too. But we must seamlessly transition into the spiritual mind, back and forth, back and forth. I think a great example of this is in John chapter 6, when Jesus was going to feed the 5,000 people. So he had been speaking to them for three days. So that was a really long sermon. He'd been speaking to them for three days. And they really didn't take much breaks. It says, you know, they hadn't anything to eat. And Jesus calls his disciples and he says, give them something to eat. It's possible the disciples started this conversation. They said, Lord, you know, they've been here with us three days. They've not had anything to eat. You know, so the natural mind is at work, which is good. They've moved in compassion. The people haven't had anything to eat for three days. It's a natural mind. Observing is good. But now Jesus puts out the things and you give them something to eat. So Jesus, this conference was not prepared. He did not take any registration fees. We did not book any rooms for all these people. You know, I'm just being silly here. But you know, the disciples are like, what is Jesus telling us?  Okay, to give them something to eat. How do we do that? So there is Philip. Let's see now. I just want to go back to the story so that I get the right names who did what. But one of them, I think it's Philip who says, Lord, yeah, so Philip, yeah, this is John 6 and verse 7. So Philip is the accounting man. He's operating with a natural mind. So he comes in John 6 verse 7. He says, Lord, you know, where shall be, this is John 6 verse 7, where shall we buy bread that we may eat? So he's looking at this natural mind, right? Very big, first of all. Problem is, which bakery can we go to buy food or buy bread for 5,000 people? That's problem. Second problem, this is in verse 7, and there's not enough money. He's done the calculation. He says 200 dinari is not enough. So maybe he knows how much money is there, but Judas, probably they add 200 dinari or whatever. I don't know. So he knows the calculation. So this is the natural mind at work, and there's nothing wrong with it. So these are facts. So he says, first problem, so Philip is the natural mind at work, right? First problem, which bakery can we go to? And oops, sorry. Second, we don't have the money. So even if there was a bakery that could supply all this, we don't have the money. So that's the natural mind. Now as believers, we do use our natural mind. There's nothing wrong with it, and that's what Philip was doing. I did it. But if you want to see the supernatural, you've got to move out of the natural mind into the renewed mind or the spiritual mind. So what happens next? Andrew comes. I don't know what Andrew was thinking. I don't know. But he does something very unusual. Jesus has told his 12 disciples, let us feed the multitude, give them something to eat. Andrew is bringing a young boy who has his lunch there and says, Lord, there are five loaves and two fish. Now the scripture is not saying what Andrew was thinking. The scripture is not saying what Andrew was thinking. So anything we say is only imagination. But why would Andrew bring a boy's lunch to Jesus? And why do it anyway? You've got 5,000 people, you've got five loaves and two fish. Why even bother? I mean, he could have said, why quietly go and have your lunch somewhere. Andrew could have done that. He could have sent the boy away and said, go have your lunch. But he brings that to Jesus. And I am only speculating here. I know this is not in the Bible. But I'm imagining Andrew was stepping into the spiritual mind, the renewed mind. I'm imagining him having a picture in his mind saying, can God, can the Lord take these five loaves and two fish and multiply it and feed these people? I'm imagining this. It's not there in the Bible. Okay, Beth has a different thought here. Could be Beth. Could be. So Beth is saying maybe he said, feed the Guru first. Okay, that's funny. But anyway, so Jesus says, and I'm just imagining, so whatever we say here is just imagination, right? So Jesus is saying, feed the multitude. Philip says, not enough bakery, not enough money. Andrew's bringing five loaves and two fish. And I want you to see this now. A miracle has to happen. But how does it happen? Just imagine, if you were one of the 12 disciples, okay, imagine you were standing there. You've placed five loaves, two fish in the hands of Jesus. You're there. There are 5,000 men, women, children. So totally, we don't know how many. Jesus takes the five loaves, 12 disciples around him. He breaks it and gives each one a small piece.  He breaks each the fish. He puts a piece of fish in each of the 12 disciples.  So what do you have in your hand? You've got a piece of bread. You've got a piece of fish. Now you are one of the apostles, man. You're one of the 12 disciples. You're there, the Jesus. And then Jesus tells them, turn around. So each one of you turn around.  The piece of bread and the fish that you have in your hand is not enough for you. And Jesus says, go and give it. Go and give it. Go and give it. So now you have a choice to make. You can operate in your natural mind or you can operate in your renewed minds. If you want to operate in our natural mind, we won't take a single step. Why?  What are you going to do? Go and give it there to whom? But if you're going to operate, if you operate in your renewed mind, you're saying, look, I don't understand this. But the master said, go and distribute it. That's what he says, verse 11. He gave it to his disciples. They had to go and distribute it. So you are one of them. So you're walking to the first group of 50 people. You've got a piece of bread. You've got a piece of fish.  You're walking in what? Not your natural mind.  So if people call believers as out of their mind, it's true. We're out of our natural mind but we're in our renewed mind. In the renewed mind, you're walking according to the ways and thoughts of God. You're out of your mind. You're out of the natural. You're in the renewed, a spiritual.   What did Jesus say? Distribute. How will you do it? Not on the basis of your natural mind because your natural mind, you will not give it to anybody. You will eat it and you'll still feel hungry. But in your spiritual mind, you start giving. You give it to the first person. Then you realize the moment that left your hand, you've got some more in your hands. Gear to the next person. Gear to the next person. And you realize a miracle is taking place. So the only way you and I could co-work with Jesus as one of his disciples on that mountain that day is by walking with a renewed mind, a spiritual mind. Not by a natural. Philip, he was sincere. He was a good man. But in his natural mind, he was trying to figure out how many bakeries, how much money. That doesn't work. It cannot produce a supernatural. Andrew initiated something that demanded that all the disciples walk with a renewed mind. But stepping into the renewed mind is what released the flow of a miracle that fed 5,000 people and more. We don't know how many men and children were there. So the point is this. To see the supernatural or to experience the supernatural, we have to step out of the natural mind to the renewed mind. The renewed mind sees things from the ways and thoughts of God. It sees possibilities. It sees miracles. It sees the impossible being made possible, which the natural mind cannot and does not. Because the natural mind is based on the five senses. We live in it and we have to operate the natural mind for our day-to-day lives. But in order to release the supernatural, we have to step into the renewed mind. I'm going to pause here. I will put this in the document and share it with you. We will discuss this more next week. But we talked about two keys today. The power of the word of God, which I think most of us understand. But we have to talk a little bit more on the renewed mind. How do we make the move? What are some of the problems we face? So we said there are three states. The natural, the carnal, and the renewed or the spiritual mind. As believers, we have to operate only in the natural and the renewed. For all our day-to-day life things, we are operating in the natural mind. So the scriptures for Corinthians chapter 2 was 9 to 30. It talks about the natural mind. Actually, in that passage, it's contrasting the natural mind and the spiritual mind. Maybe we could study these in detail if you wish. But I was just trying to give you the essence of it. Okay. Any questions before we pray and dismiss? Maggie, go ahead. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Just a battle to understand the difference between natural mind and carnal mind. Because when someone doesn't know Christ, I believe that that's his natural mind. He's using his natural mind. So when does carnal mind come in? And what's the difference between those two? Okay. Thank you, sir. Yeah. So an unsay. Okay. So let's put it like this. The natural mind is neutral. Neutral. That means it's just us, you know, living in the natural world. The carnal mind is the natural mind that is pursuing evil things. That means it's like Romans chapter 8 talks about it. It's the gratifying of evil things, evil desires. That is the carnal mind. It's fleshly, flesh ruled. So even a believer could be walking with a carnal mind. You know, Paul writes in verse Corinthians 3, he rebukes the Corinthian. He says, you are carnal. Romans 8 is also addressed to believers. And he's saying, you are carnal.  It's talking to believers. That means they are pursuing gratification of the sinful desires of the flesh and the soul. That's the carnal mind. So the difference between the natural mind is, the natural mind is neutral. Okay. It's just us doing the normal daily things of life.  It's your natural mind at work.  The carnal mind is doing the evil things. The renewed mind or the spiritual mind is pursuing the things of God, the things of the spirit. We are walking according to the ways and thoughts of God. Does that help, Hange? Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, sir. Yeah. So Anita's question is, we rebuked the spirit. Should we continue rebuking evil or should we just say be healed? Well, I think the answer to that question, there's no universal answer, but the practical way to do it is, until the spirit leaves, until you see the evil thing depart, you continue rebuking it. Now sometimes, or I would say many times, say the evil one is stubborn. They don't want, even they resisted Jesus.  They're trying to be stubborn. They don't want to go. So that's why when we're dealing with evil spirits, now we rebuk until they leave, until we see that they're left. So the answer to your question is, you're rebuked till they leave and then the healing part, which is the mending or making whole of whatever was damaged or whatever was, you know, not working properly, you speak. So we do both, until we see the result. All right, so we will continue this next week. We looked at two additional keys today, the power of the Word of God, part of God's Word and secondly, the power of the renewed mind. We'll spend a little bit more time on the renewed mind next week and then move forward. So what I need to share with you is how do we transition? How do we go from natural to renewed and back? So basically, we need to have this smooth seamless flow of, I'm operating the natural, but I also need to step into the renewed mind. Sometimes we get so comfortable with the natural that we hesitate to step into the spiritual and that's when we miss out on the miracles because, you know, we all like the comfortable natural mind but you have to step out of your mind into the renewed mind, the spiritual mind, to see the miracles of God. Okay, we have to talk about that. All right, one more question in between showing the seed and seeing results. Can the process in between, can it be accelerated? Interesting question. Can it be accelerated? Hmm, can it be accelerated? Can I do something to speed it up? Hmm, interesting question Prabhakar. I'm not sure. I have the answer. I'm just thinking of what Jesus spoke in Mark 4. You know, right after the parable of the Sower, he gave this other parable. He kind of continued on the same theme and I'm looking at Mark 4, I think was 21 words. He said, So is the kingdom of God. So he's continuing, as a man should sow seed and should sleep and rise night and day and he says, the seed begins to spring and grow up. He does not know how. That means he doesn't know the whole germination process and all that. He doesn't understand all that. He just puts a seed and night and day goes by and then he says, he sees first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn and the ear and then he puts in the sickle for the harvest to come. So your question is, can we speed that process up? And you know, I don't know. Can we speed it up? It's interesting. I mean, and we're talking about spiritual terms. So, you know, can we do something to make this happen faster? My inclination, my inclination is, you know, as long as the best thing we can do is to present a conducive environment for the seed to produce. So that's the thing we can do. To that extent, you know, spiritually, like what Abraham was saying, those are things that we determine, right? The engagement with the word and prayer and so on. Right? So to that extent, yeah, our part is involved. But there's a part that I don't always understand, like people have shared about the timing and that work of God. We don't always understand. So to answer your question, I think there's this convergence of my part and God's parts. My part is definitely something I can do, right? I can spend more time in the word. I can engage more intensely in prayers. For instance, there are certain things now I'm really contending for in prayer. So I'm taking extra time to just pray over that matter because I want to see something happen. So that is my part, you know. Instead of not praying, I'm praying more. Definitely that's my part. Instead of not contending, I'm contending even more. I'm going after it. So that's my part. So to that extent, you know, we can be involved to pursue the miracle. But there is a part that I don't understand, which is, you know, when God comes through, you know, and that's like what some people have mentioned here on the chat, on the timing, the kairos, right? So I think there's this coming together. So to answer your question, yes, we can do something for the things that we are responsible for, which is to take the word of God, to go after the miracle, to go after it with intensity. All that is our part. We can do it. The other element where we're, you know, God is moving through that, that is some, yeah, that is something just, yeah. So Beth is saying, yeah, you know, we could delay things, but not necessarily speed up things. Yeah. So from our side, we can do things, but from God's side, that's a part that God will do, God will determine, and God will speak. Yeah. Yeah, thanks to all who have shared, you know, I'm not saying I have the answer here, I'm just, I'm thinking through on it, and this is what I feel that to the extent we are involved, we can definitely be there and do our part, and then God has to come through on his side. That's a good question. Yeah. Kennedy, I see you, I see a comment too. Okay. All right, we've taken more time. Let's wrap up, and yeah, there are so many things we need to think about and learn and understand still. Yeah. Okay, let's close up in prayer today. We've had three hours together. It's been wonderful. Thank you for being part of the classes today. I would like to pray and close so that we can dismiss anyone. Good night, Chris. Go ahead. Go ahead, Charles. Kevin, Father, we thank you so much for a time like this and all kinds of glory that we are being trained, as we tell us, that as iron shepherds, iron sodas, man, shepherds, man, thank you for our rikichela, thank you for what we are learning. Lord, we pray that you will increase our faith so that we shall live in the supernatural. And as we go, that road you will keep us, you will hear it pass also to read again through the PDFs that have been shared, and you will be able to learn more, and for your, for your glory, and for our good. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much, everybody. And yeah, thank you all. Have a good rest of the day, or evening, or morning, whichever part. Yep, I'll see you again soon. Thank you, Pastor. God bless you too. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. God bless. God bless. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you.


What was happening in the name of sights? Black Vikings back, ready to react. And I came across this beef that Tyreece was having with Spanky Hayes. And I didn't know this had been going on.  So in the first video, Spanky Hayes said that it was him and 30 other dudes auditioning for Baby Boy. The first he says, you know, audition for this move and he came down to these, last two was me and him.   He said, so the director's all like, I love both of you guys or whoever was auditioning. I don't know if he said director.  He said, that's a laughing. I've been talking to you like this. I haven't gone with other dudes and he ain't like. He got cast in the lead role for Baby Boy. Apparently Tyreece fired back. I'm gonna put the link to both of these videos.       Like you're going hit on him. And it was pretty funny. Now I said, you know what? Spanky A's fired back and he's a comedian. So I said, I gotta react to this. I gotta react to this. I didn't know about this. And I said, most likely we're being comedian is going to be funny. So without further ado, let's get this reaction video on. Why are you sitting and chatting and doing stuff?  No problem. I'm gonna waste my time and stuff like that. How about you can't go back to these?  Oh my God. We're gonna see how anything turned out. The first two videos I'm gonna post those in the description box. What makes this crap?


Coming up on DTNS, what is new at Mobile World Congress? Why Swift Banking Matters, and the Raspberry Pi is all grown up. This is the Daily Tech News for Monday, February 28th, 2022. From Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. From lovely Cleveland, Ohio, I'm Rich Trafalino. And I'm Roger Chang. The show's pretty certain. We were just talking before the show about what to do with all those DVD plastic cases that you might have in your closet. If you want the wider version of our show, it's called Good Day Internet, and you can join it by becoming a patron at patreon.com slash DTNS. Of course, we want to give a big thanks to our top patrons, including Steve Ayadarola, Jeffrey Zilx, and Tony Glass. Indeed, let's start with a few tech things you should know. TikTok began rolling out support for 10-minute video uploads to all users. This comes just after video upload length increased from 60 seconds to three minutes back in July, 2021. Instagram head, Adam Masseri, tweeted out that the company has not yet developed a dedicated iPad app because he says there's not a big enough group of people to be our priority. He calls these finally features. So an iPad app, if it ends up coming across the pike, along with dark mode, scheduled posts, and deleting a single photo from a carousel. Uber began testing a new driver algorithm in 24 US cities that will let drivers see their pay and where they'll have to go before accepting trips, as well as increasing incentives for drivers to accept shorter rides. Consumer fares are not impacted by this change. The Dutch Authority for Consumers and Market, or ACM, levied a sixth 5 million Euro fine against Apple for non-compliance with its order to allow dating apps to use third-party payment systems. Writers saw a letter that Apple sent to the ACM claiming that the solution it proposed previously would require a minor technical change for developers that would not occur in technical cost. That's common practice for devs. But the ACM said that this place is an unfair burden on developers and that this letter does not constitute a change in Apple's position, hence the fine.  Kojima said it appeared to be a victim of a cyber attack. This will result in the company losing about 13,000 cars of output per day by the third of its global production. It's unclear if the shutdown will last more than a day. We just know that it's scheduled at least for March 1st in Japan right now. So we'll see how long it goes. All right, well, we've been covering some of the tech fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Tom Merritt's latest know a little more, breaks down a big financial move taken against some Russian banks in the wake of these events, how it works and also what it means. Let's hear a little bit from him on that now. European authorities in cooperation with the US and Canada will compel select Russian banks from accessing the Swift networks. That's a network that enables payments, security transfers and more. Swift is a messaging network. It was created in 1973 and created a standard to make sure banks knew where they were sending money. Prior to Swift, banks often used written messages on Telex, which could lead to misinterpretation and mistakes and was not very secure. Swift is a standard for messages that avoids mistakes, adds security and operates the network and software to send those messages. More than 11,000 financial institutions use Swift worldwide. There are few alternatives and those that exist are slower and they cost more. There's also a blockchain alternative to Swift called Ripple that's been in operation since 2012. It promises instant transactions at very low cost. Ripple has a few hundred banks using it. Swift continuously tries to improve its service and launched a new version called Global Payments Innovation in 2018 and Swift is also considering a blockchain based system of its own. Suffice to say that if you want to balance ease of use with cost and efficiency, Swift is essential and it's what almost every bank uses. Banks that lose Swift access will still be able to transfer money around. They can use Russia's internal system called SPFS. China has one called CIPS and India offers one called SFMS. Those options have limited membership though, but some members are also members of Swift and may be willing to route transactions into Swift networks. That will slow things down and cost Russian banks more and may inconvenience consumers who want to use bank cards within Russia. A move with more impact may be the decision to cut the Russian central bank off from its overseas funds. This would deprive Russia of its own money, though it has been reducing its reliance on foreign currency. If you'd like to understand more about Swift and how it works, check out our Know a Little More episode on Swift at knowalittlemore.com. Very, thank you, Tom, and a really great way to learn a little bit more about Swift, especially since Rich I have at least, especially over the weekend, seeing so many posts from people saying, what does it really matter? All you need is cryptocurrency and Russia can circumvent this. Not true when you're talking about millions and millions of people in the country who aren't necessarily on that track yet. Well, and you've also heard kind of on the opposite, I guess some hyperbolic, does this mean Russia people in Russia can't use debit cards or stuff like that? So I think this can definitely contextualize what this is aimed at, what this actually means. And yeah, just a really great breakdown. But we saw a lot of other kind of tech reactions kind of across the board over the weekend, right, Sarah? Yeah, indeed. Over the weekend, especially, we saw moves from tech companies, quite a few of them, to help people on the ground in and around Ukraine. Google joined meta in cutting off monetization for Russia state-owned media in consultation with Ukrainian authorities. Google also disabled access to live traffic information in maps to protect Ukrainians. And this was actually a point of contention for some folks saying, wait, Google Maps data, Ukrainians need that? Well, it was in an effort to actually help Ukrainians. Although, traffic information will still be available for turn-by-turn navigation. So it's not completely cut off. To help keep people online, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said over the weekend that the company activated its Starlink internet service in Ukraine. A lot of people were excited about that with terminals on the way, but still not clear how terminals will arrive and what the scope is of the coverage area for Starlink. Now, to help refugees fleeing the conflict, Airbnb pledged to provide free short-term housing for 100,000 people fleeing the conflict and is in talks with surrounding governments in Poland, Romania, Germany and Hungary to coordinate long-term stays, longer-term stays, more than 30 days, say. Tesla will also offer free EV charging for all vehicles in towns near the Ukrainian border in Poland, Slovakia and also Hungary. Etsy also said it will write off all outstanding fees for Ukraine-based sellers to help offset the tremendous financial hardship for creators. On the flip side of that, some Russian folks who use Etsy say they have since been cut off. Yeah, I think the thing that turned a lot of heads was the Google decision on the map stating what kind of Sarah, as you alluded to. And I think the key there is in, obviously this was not a unilateral decision by Google, they are consulting people. The question I have is, I saw this speculated in a couple different pieces of coverage that this seems to be the first time that Google has done this, where they're taking data that could theoretically be used to target people that are amassed in an area or something that are caused harm, like could be weaponized in some way and kind of uniformly cutting off access to that, while still enabling people to do turn-by-turn. I do wonder though how effective that will be. I imagine theoretically it won't be too hard to spoof turn-by-turn navigation to then get still access to that live information. So I feel like maybe that's a little bit of a game of cat and mouse. But yeah, definitely, that one seemed to be making, at least from what I was reading, making the most waves in terms of these kind of online or these kind of on-the-ground reactions. It kind of seemed to me as though Google was saying, listen, if you're seeing reports of certain maps data that we have cut off, it's not from us, because there's so much misinformation or information that has been manipulated on all sides of this to create a narrative that is maybe or maybe not true. Why did that go on? Yeah, and we're all kind of on that vein, that kind of, I guess, misinformation or vein. We're also seeing a lot of changes from platforms to keep people online safe during this conflict. Meta has opened up the ability for fake information to be able to use the data that has been used to open up the ability for Facebook users in Ukraine to lock profiles. And this will be expanding to these protections for users in Russia as well, if they want to activate that as well. Basically what this means is once locked, your friends list become unsearchable. Poster hidden and profile photos cannot be downloaded or enlarged, you can just like extremely low resolution, just kind of flat image, so that you can't really do much with that. They're not the only ones though. Google also added protections for users in conflict regions, enabling two factor authentication for those that already haven't activated it. It's also providing the use of its advanced protection program. This is something that they've offered in the past to individuals that may have a higher risk, or higher than normal risk of being targeted by threat actors and things for like journalists, human rights activists. Given the scale of cyber operations in this conflict already though, it seems like this could be just a huge amount of people in Ukraine that could want to turn this on. Google also enabled Safe Browsing Mode by default in Chrome and this identifies known phishing and malware assertion attempts and proactively blocks those. Not to be left out, Twitter will also be making some changes, adding new labels to tweets with links from Russian state linked media outlets, stating their affiliation and adding an orange exclamation point to just kind of let you know, hey, this is something you should pay attention to or there may be some additional context you need to check out in this additional context warning. Twitter began labeling state-controlled account profiles in 2020, but not individual tweets with link back to their original content. The platform will add similar labels to other state-affiliated media accounts over the next few weeks. Twitter head of site integrity, Yul Roth, said that these labels are meant to add helpful context to conversations on the platform, setting the impact to similar labels using COVID-19 and election information. And then we saw just before this, Meta's Nick Clegg tweeted out that they were going to be blocking RT and Sputnik on their platforms as well. So definitely, I'm sorry, they're gonna be restricting, I believe, is the language that he used. I just wanna make sure I get that right. Restricting access. So we don't know details. I was digging into the tweet before the show just to see what they had any specifics. We don't know how that's gonna look. But this Twitter thing is, to me, seems very significant. Sarah, they've obviously been kind of learning that, hey, the more speed bumps you have along from even just past like retweeting information out, the more times it gives people to think and the more times it gives people, the more context you have, the better you have to make, I guess, an informed decision as opposed to kind of a reactive one. But this is a big, like a huge shift from what they're doing. I'm not exactly sure how they are, if they're going to be using that exact same list of state-controlled account profiles that they've already started tagging those account profiles and then using all the media from those outlets in these alerts. That wasn't exactly clear in these initial tweets. I was digging in that because I wanted to make sure we understood if this was going to be a reevaluation of those accounts and of those profiles or if this is going to be something different. What I thought was interesting, I saw this in my own Twitter timeline. I use tweet bots, so a lot of the stuff that Twitter rolls out on its official, either web-based or IOAS or Android apps is a little different than the experience that I get. But going to web Twitter, I saw a couple of these tweets be flagged this morning. Now, the information that was flagged was not necessarily something that was designed to get people on either sides of the board up in arms. But that is also important, I think. I think when Twitter, and again, this is Twitter doing this. This is not us saying that Twitter should have done this. This is what Twitter has done, saying this news source might have some innocuous news that comes out of it, but it also might have some misinformation or information designed to confuddle all the rest of us. And we're going to flag this no matter what they say. That is big, that is really big. If you are out there and you've seen this, we'd love to know about it. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com. But yeah, we are seeing the big four, I guess you call them, kind of backs up against the wall and companies are handling this differently and it is a very fast moving situation. And probably tomorrow, there'll be all sorts of new things to talk about. But I think that in many ways we're all doing our best to try to have the flow of free information be helpful to folks and certainly those on the ground in Ukraine and elsewhere. And certainly from where I stand very, very far away from this conflict, I think it's really helpful. The other thing is on Google's part, their advanced protection program, that's an extremely powerful suite of automated but also human managed responses to people that believe they're at increased presence of threat actors. I do wonder how that's going to scale given the fact that there are more than likely gonna have, I don't know, hundreds of thousands, like there's a possibility of an extremely large influx of people into this program. And yes, we know automated tools can be very effective if they're having specialized algorithms looking at these people's accounts, monitoring them for any suspicious activity. But if they're not able to scale that human element, I hope Google is anticipating that as they are expanding this as well. Welcome as that bit of protection is though for sure. Well, we know a lot of you have thoughts on everything that we talked about on the show so far. We would love to hear your thoughts. You make our show better. Join in the conversation, and you can do so a variety of ways, but including our Discord. You can join by linking to a Patreon account at patreon.com slash DTNS. Well, Rich, on a more fun note, at least when it comes to new technology, today was the first official day of Mobile World Congress going on in Barcelona, Spain. We've had a ton of phone and mobile announcements. That's what the show is about. So phones, laptops, tablets, wearables, the list goes on. We thought we'd run down some of the things that have caught our eye thus far. Rich, what do you got? Well, the first one that really caught my eye is the Lenovo ThinkPad X13S. Now, this is one of Lenovo's latest attempts at a Windows On Arm. This is Windows 11 On Arm at this point. So it includes things like X64 or X86 emulation natively in the OS. But the big headline feature here is this is the first to use the new Snapdragon 8CX Gen3 compute platform. This is the SOC that's powering all of this stuff. And really the big problem that we've had, or I guess some of the struggles that Windows On Arm has had for adoption is the app compatibility certainly is one of them. But also that the battery life on these is usually very good. The performance though is not necessarily what people think of when they're thinking of a Windows machine, especially when you're talking about like this ThinkPad, the ThinkPad X line generally is like, hey, this is your power, you know, your power user travel machine, right? So it needs to be fairly capable. And, you know, there's some lofty claims here. We're talking, you know, Qualcomm has talked about multi-day battery life, 60% better performance per watt. It's fanless, less than two and a half pounds. You know, and it's reasonably priced, I feel like at 10, 1099. But I feel like this is like a make or break kind of device for like a proving point for Windows On Arm. Like if this can take off, if this can be for your road warrior, for your business person that's on the road all the time, but needs something that can be, you know, compute fairly well, it doesn't have to be a gaming machine or anything like that. But it can't fall on its face for like those common Windows tasks. That to me feels like this is a very important device for that kind of Windows On Arm ecosystem. I don't know, it sounds like a pretty good device to me. I mean, the price is, sure, it's not a budget laptop, but it's also not the most expensive option that we have either. Yeah, and a lot of, you know, the ThinkPad is like, hey, we're gonna put on the corporate expense account anyway, so we can live with that, right? Like that should be, is almost beside the point with this particular device. But yeah, for sure, it's kind of crazy. The next one that I thought was really interesting were the Honor Earbuds 3 Pro. Catchy name, I know these are coming from Honor. I don't, they're in, send the name. I don't know why I didn't say that, but the big headline feature here. You did, you did. Active noise cancellation. Hey, that's great, lots of people have those, but it can take your temperature when it's in your ear. And I just got this guy from a birthday, got an Apple Watch, very excited about this. All the health features, I kind of just didn't realize them. If this can fit into Huawei's larger health ecosystem, or not Huawei, excuse me, Honor's larger health ecosystem, if this can offer that same kind of thing, like constant temperature checks or like regular temperature checks.  We've seen what can be done with heart rate, with ECG, with, you know, your blood ox levels and stuff like that. Obviously this is not gonna be the last device that's going to have it. There's been rumors that Apple's been working on this for some time, but to me, that feels like a big deal. And it's not really at that much of a premium, 199 euros, that's in the premium earbud level anyway. So that's not like you're paying extra to get this feature. Yeah, I love this. I don't take my temperature daily, but for a variety of reasons, you either want to or you're doing it because, you know, we're in a pandemic. So yeah, I think, you know, good on Honor for offering this. And yes, I would like to see how this does fit into the other fitness and health efforts that other companies, you know, are doing with data collection. Yeah, I mean, that's the key. Like it can't just be, oh, here's a graph of this. Like, you know, it has to be, to me to the value of this is combining it with other signals and being able to give you a bigger and more comprehensive health picture, but very exciting to see, you know, kind of us crack that kind of wearable, you know, always in your ear thermometer, I guess. And then the other, one of the other things that really stood out to me is we've heard an update on OnePlus's Oxygen OS. This was supposedly something that was kind of going away, that we're going to be merging it with Oppo's ColorOS. And the plan was they already share the same code base, right? This could be a little confusing, Oppo OnePlus kind of affiliated sub-brands, that kind of stuff. They were supposed to be combining these and having a unified OS, but OnePlus has come out and said Oxygen OS, the next version of it, Oxygen OS 13, is going to be coming out.  They're actually unifying it, and this is just to make people happy that they're not changing the name. People don't like change, I understand that. So maybe that's just to appease everybody. Is this part of a larger separation from ColorOS? Not exactly clear, but kind of a big deal to kind of walk away from that. And then the other kind of part of that news is that the OnePlus 10 Pro is getting an international launch at launch in China already, and now it's coming in March to the US, Europe, and India as well. Yeah, I don't really, ColorOS, Oxygen OS, let's just pick one, go with it guys. That's how I feel about it. I understand like OnePlus is a very fervent following. They carved a really successful niche as like this power budget handset, and they kind of built a brand based on that. So I understand people take that very seriously, and it's interesting to see maybe a little community pushback changing their plans as well. But Sarah, one that really struck me for you though is Huawei announced the MatePad paper, and this is an E-ing tablet running Harmony OS, 10.3 inch screen, really good screen to body ratio, and it supports Huawei's M-Pen for no taking, pretty good response time. It's coming out in 499 euros in Europe, but it sounds a lot like the remarkable two. Have you taken a look at this? It sure does, it looks a lot like a two. The remarkable two runs a version of Linux, but if you're talking about a larger E-ink tablet, so a little bit bigger than an E-reader, designed for no taking, but also an E-reader, which the remarkable two, as I mentioned on my latest Live With It episode, it's not really an E-ink tablet first, but it definitely is an E-reader. Certainly has the functionality. This gives it a run for its money. This is very nice. In fact, they seem like more or less the same product to me. And I think for those who say, hmm, I really do, Jen Cutter is actually one of these people, she's like, I write everything down on paper. I am a paper loving person. This is exactly what you need. And the remarkable two was always a little bit of like a funny product to me, where I like it for certain things, but I'm not much of a physical note-taker these days anymore because I've just been weaned off of it for so many years. This is, it's not cheap. I mean, for 500 euros, it's certainly not a budget item, but if you are the kind of person who can make use of this, it looks pretty in line with the remarkable two. Given that the E-ink or the E-reader, E-ink E-reader market has been kind of stayed with minor updates, and the remarkable two is a fundamentally very different product, do you think this will be the last, do you see this as like, hey, Jones is gonna come out with one or another kind of big brand is gonna come out with one? Given that, you know, why not inconsiderable electronics maker? You know, I wonder about that. I feel like the market for folks who really want that I want a notepad, I want a smart pen, or pencil or whatever you wanna call it. I wanna be able to do all that stuff, but I also wanna be able to annotate PDFs or read articles or this, that, and the other, and I don't want to do this on either a tablet or a laptop that I already have that's part of my workflow. I don't think the market is that big, honestly. I think some people want this very much, but I don't think it's a wide audience. All right, well, Sarah, what caught your eye just looking at all the MWC news coming out there? Well, quite a few things, but one of those, because I love a good car, Fisker, if you've heard of it, Fisker has a new EV for the EU called the Ocean. Now, if you're in the US, you might say, is the ocean already available and you'd be right. In the UK, the base model is now going to become available starting at 35,000 pound sterling with a range of 275 miles using the WLTP standard, also front-wheel drive. The US version started shipping back in 2021. So Fisker, if you see them on the road, you punch your sister and say, Beaver, but you don't see a few of them all that often, but Fisker is building 47 prototypes of the ocean expanding to its European presence with a brand experience center in Munich, Germany, the first in Europe. The facility is in addition to the Fisker Magic Works, that's in England, which develops special editions of the company's vehicles. Fisker's base warranty is also a little bit more generous than what you may be accustomed to. Six years, 100,000 kilometers, and the powertrain and warranties at 10 years, 160,000 kilometers. I just love these cars, Rich. I'm not gonna Fisker any time soon, but boy do I like that. It is interesting that the ocean has now crossed the ocean. The ocean. You see, I had to make it extra obvious. See what you did there? Well, this is great for Fisker because I know they've had some financial difficulties over the years, so this is great to be expanding their market and not backing down from a fairly approachable price, pretty generous warranty there to get everybody started. So I know the EV market is heating up, especially in Europe, but great that Fisker can keep on chugging along. Indeed, also in other laptop news, Samsung launched the Galaxy Book Pro 2, the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360, and the Galaxy Book 360 Pro. Three different models, keep them straight. They all run Windows 11 out of the box. The 360 comes with a price tag of $900. Galaxy Book 2 Pro will go for $1,049, and the 360 Pro price starts at $1,250. Both the Galaxy Book 2 Pro and Book 2 Pro 360 are available in 13.3 and 15.6 inch versions using a 1080p AMOLED display with a max of 500 nits of brightness. Both are powered by a 12-gen Intel Core i5 and i7 P-Series processor with Iris Z graphics. Although the Book 2 Pro can be equipped with an Intel Arc GPU as well. The big thing that stood out for me is the weight on these things. These things weigh like nothing for Intel-based laptops. I think the 15-inch comes in lighter than the current MacBook Air, which is a pretty spelt laptop. It's like two and a half pounds. So putting all that together, and for the possibility to get the discrete GPU there, kind of a showcase obviously for the Arc GPU, you know, Samsung has kind of wanted to put together some very unique laptops, and these are definitely catching my eye. Yeah, they're nice. They're nice. And we will see this over the course of the week. That is what Mobile World Congress is so good at. But I'm not in the market for a new laptop. I have that relatively new MacBook Air, the M1 MacBook Air that came out in late 2020, which I'm very happy with. But for the prices and for the specs, the Samsung lineup looks pretty good. Well, Rich, I thought you would appreciate the fact that we have a birthday to celebrate. It's not yours, it's not mine. Although yours is quite close to this day. But the original Raspberry Pi, if you remember, how old do you think the Raspberry Pi is? Well, I'll tell you, it's 10 years old today. The microcomputer was an open inexpensive Linux powered ARM system going for about $35. And although there have been additional models since then, the OG Pi Model B was where it all started a decade ago. Sort of confusing that the Model A came out after the Model B, but that's beside the point. The Model B used a BCM 2835 system on a chip, had 256 megabytes of RAM, ethernet, no Wi-Fi, and a 26 pin GPIO. The Model A came later as did the A plus and B plus variants with more memory.  And that's all before the Raspberry Pi 2 arrived in 2015 with up to one gig of RAM and a newer chipset. Yeah, I remember when this came out, the big thing was it had a decoder that could do, I think it was 1080 video, like that was like on a $35 credit card size, like total system on a, I mean, you had to have an SD card or whatever for some storage, but like the idea that you could have that and make it into a little media server or something like that, like a Linux hippie in me. I just wanted to throw some puppy Linux on this and just like run like this, this lean and mean little Raspberry Pi system. I've had a couple of them over the years. I love using them for little projects. It's, this is like, when I remember this came out, it was like so accessible whenever they would ship. I remember the shipping delays were horrible on these when they first came out, but just so that you could get like kind of almost like this ambient computing for, I don't know, the cost of a couple CDs. It was 2012, we weren't using CDs back then anyway, but it was very affordable and that's what was good. Yeah, I remember back in 2012, when the Raspberry Pi was introduced, we spoke about it when a few of us were working on tech news today over on the Twitter network. And I remember at the time saying, wow, affordable, but what are you really going to be able to do with these? You know, but yeah, like some DIY project that doesn't really impact anything. Not so, not so. The Raspberry Pi is alive and well and people across the world have made extremely cool projects with it. So we salute you Raspberry Pi, happy birthday. We also want to thank our brand new bosses. Got some over the weekend, which always makes us really happy. Derek Selchow, Dan, Will Omira and Duster Lag, all just started backing us on Patreon and we thank you all. Thank you, Derek. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Will. And thank you, Duster Lag.

now here is the another example, which is the mean corrected components code, what is the mean corrected components code? basically if we go to standard dice, then sometimes we need to get the value of the mean. now how can we get the value of the mean in the principal component? so we are checking here. since y equals to beta prime x, you know that this is the principal component, we generally have zero mean, non-zero means, we generally have non-zero means but we have to do some transformation from where we can make our mean zero. therefore a transformation on y is made such that the mean vector y is zero. now we have to take some transformation from which we have the mean vector y equals to zero. if the sample mean vector x bar and the b is the matrix of the eigenvectors, you know that of the sample covariance matrix s, this is the notation of the sample covariance matrix s, then the transformation to get the zero mean vector. now we are taking the transformation, transformation is the y which is equals to b prime x minus x bar. we have done transformation on it and after transformation we have the mean vector zero. for the keyth principal component, the component score is given this, this is the general equation. in case we find the components from the sample correlation matrix, we have given the notation from the r. the component score would be the computed from the standardized observation. we use the notation z where z equals to capital V diagonal, we have capital V 1 by 2 raised to the power minus 1. i.e. capital V to take the square root and raise to the power inverse. which is equals to x minus x bar. so v diagonal is the diagonal standard deviation matrix. i.e. you have v basically, we are taking the diagonal and we have standard deviation in the diagonal. basically, we have experiences in the diagonal. now why is the standard deviation here? because its power is 1 by 2. i.e. we have taken the square root. now here is the equation, this is the general equation. now here is the equation, this is the general equation. you can determine the value of x from here. how will we get x? v is in the transpose, v is here on the side of equality. then you have minus x bar on the side of equality, positive x bar. this is the general scenario. we are using this scenario in the example. consider the random vector, this is the random vector. has the mean vector and the covariance matrix. this is the mean vector, sample mean and this is the sample covariance matrix. find the principal component and the mean corrected component score. what we have to find? principal component and the mean corrected component scores. now this is the solution. we have given the covariance matrix. this is the sample covariance matrix. now eigen values and are the solution of this. now we will take the eigen values from here. first in the previous example, we will take the population values. now we have given the sample covariance matrix. we have used the sample covariance matrix. which is equals to zero. the solution of the quadratic equation is this. just we have directed this. you know how is the value of x? minus lambda into identity. plus 49964 minus lambda and next is the identity matrix. after this, after this we have checked the solution. we have found the quadratic form. now we will generate the lambda 1 and lambda 2. lambda 1 and lambda 2 are the eigen values of the matrix s. lambda 1 and lambda 2 are the eigen values of the matrix s. now lambda 1 is against the eigen vector. then the first principal component. lambda 2 is against the second eigen vector. and the second principal component. now we have generated the first eigen vector. so lambda 2 is against the second eigen vector equation. and lambda 1 is against the first eigen vector. and lambda 2 is against the second eigen vector. so principal components of this. this is the principal component. further, now we find mean corrected. mean corrected component scores using. this is not the correlated. this is the corrected. y which is equals to b prime x minus x bar. now you have b value. what is b? this, this, this. we have b 1. so this is the b 1 1, b 1 2, b 2 1 and b 2 2. so b prime. you have taken the prime. how do you know the transpose? we have converted it to column. first row 1 point this. and you have converted it to column. this is the b transpose. next is the x minus x bar. you know that the value of the x 1. and the x 2 minus x bar is given. we have generated x minus x bar. so mean corrected component scores are this. which is equals to this equation. we have entered it. and further you have 2 equations. here is the y 1. and here is the y 2. now what do you have? now if we check further. how do we get the mean 0? so 0.145 x 1. so x 1. what will you put here? x 2. we have 7. then minus 11. in this you have to enter the values. that we have the value of y 1. 0 is coming. similarly y 2. x 1. we have put x 6. x 2. we have 11. after putting we have the value of y 2. 0 is coming. so this is the mean corrected component scores. sometime when we want the mean 0. so how do we solve it? this is the method of the mean corrected component scores.
