Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial guys. In this one, I'm in Premiere Pro 2020. I'm going to show you how to create your own motion graphics templates. You can reuse these templates. You can save them to your folder and save them to your drive. So that people that you know, if you're working on a brand or you're in a, you've got your own YouTube channel and you don't want to keep creating the same damn assets over and over again, we're going to solve that problem right now. I'm going to show you how to do it. First step here is I've got some footage. This is just stock footage that I downloaded off of Pexels. They've got a whole video section of free footage so that you guys can follow along if you want. And here we go. So I'm going to left click on the video that I've got here in my project panel. I'm going to drop it onto the timeline and that creates a sequence. So here we go. You probably already know that, but I'm just calling it out as I go. So here we go. We've got these people drinking beers around a campfire as they do. All good. The next step is you'll notice here that I am in the editing workspace. We want to go to the graphics workspace. I'm going to left click on graphics. And under the graphics workspace, I've actually made some changes. You'll see here that yours will probably look like this now that I've got it. And it anyways, I'm just drawing your attention here to this toolbar. This is where we're going to make some magic happen. Now it's defaults usually to the selection tool, but that's not what we want. We want to create a motion graphic. So I'm going to show you a quick way to do it with text and then I could even show you a way to do it with like shape tools. So let's start with text. And I'm going to left click on the type tool. And then I'm going to left click on the monitor here and I'm going to put something in here. So I'm going to call this campfire. Okay. And then you'll notice here that I've got a whole bunch of options pop open under the essential graphics panel, which is what we want. Now I've got a very weird font selected. Mine's called fire night. But you know what? This is a campfire. So that makes sense. But let's go quickly through what we've got here. So when you open up the essential graphics, and if you don't see that, you can go to window and then make sure there's a check mark beside essential graphics. If you don't see what I'm seeing just in case. So you'll see here we've got, we've got, you know, some basic stuff. We're pinning it to the video. That doesn't really matter. What does matter is the text, the font here, these matter. You can go ahead and change the fill. Like right now I've got it set to white. But if we wanted this to be blue, I would set it to blue. And well, no, I would have to do it the right way. I have to double click on it. Sorry, guys, set it to blue. How about that blue? What do you think? No, probably doesn't work. Anyways, commander controls that to undo there. So you can set the fill. You can set the stroke. So let's see here. Do I want to have a stroke on this? Yes. So I'm going to left click on stroke.  And okay, and that'll be around it. Now I've got everything selected. You can change the width of the stroke. So I'm going to actually increase it quite a bit just so you guys can see what I'm doing. And then I got a left click off of this. And there we go. We've got campfire. Okay, so we've got a really cool looking campfire dingy dingy. You can also add a background if you guys want. So if I do that, this becomes more of a lower third. And again, you could change the size of the background to huge or to like very small.  That's not really the point of this video. I just want to show you what's available. We've got something that says campfire. Now we want to make it motion graphics. Let's get this bad boy into motion. This is what we're here to do. Okay, so I'm at the beginning. The playhead is at the beginning. And that's where I want to start the motion. Now into the end of the essential graphics, you're going to see this here. You see this little toggle with four arrows. This is a animation toggle. This is kind of new. And I didn't actually know about this until recently. So normally you would be over here animating in these effect controls. And then you'd animate over here. But in essential graphics, no, not necessary. Left click on toggle animation for position. And then in this one, I'm just going to go to the end. So I just held down shift and go to the end and then I hit left arrow back one so that it's still, I still have it. And then I'm going to go ahead and take this off the screen. So it's going to basically say campfire. It's going to start there. And it's going to go across the screen. That's our animation. That's the technique. Very simple. So I'll just hit play in a second here and bang, right? Okay. So this is a motion graphic, right? And let's say that we want to keep that. We like the style. We like the font. We don't want to have to keep redoing that. That's where the magic comes in. Left click on, or pardon me, left click, yes, on the text or on the, for me, it's an FX campfire. It says FX campfire. Left click on that bad boy. Now that it's selected, right click on it. Go down and then say export as motion graphics template. This is where the magic is made. And then here we got a few options. I'm going to call this one one. And the reason why is because under the essential graphics panel, when you browse, it browses by number and then letter.  So I'm going to create one one. I'm going to save it to the local templates folder. However, I will note that you can also save this to libraries. So if you have a library, and I don't know where mine is somewhere in there, let's see, these are all my library. You can also save it to your library as well. But I'm going to save it to the my local drive. And then these here don't really, really matter. I'm going to include the video thumbnail so that you can actually see what it looks like when you hover over it. I will show that to you in a second. And I'm just going to left click on okay. So here we go. Export to motion graphics template. Now this is where it gets good. So I'm just going to delete it. I'm going to go back to my essential graphics here. And now I'm going to go from edit to browse. And when I look at the top, check it out. Here it is. And when I hover the mouse over it from left to right, you'll see that it is now saved. So I can reuse this. If I started a new project, it's ready to go. I can drag this and drop this on any footage. So if I deleted that, and I go back to browse, doesn't matter. It's now saved. I can put it at the end and then hit spacebar. And then in a few seconds, if this thing works, it's just going to pop up and it's going to load up the just like that. So we've got a new motion graphics template that fast, that easy guys, it's not going to win any design awards. But that's the technique and the steps from front to back. That's it for now, guys. I've got a lot more stuff coming up. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching and I'll be back soon.


Welcome to NewsClick. In today's episode of Talking Science and Tech, we will be talking about the wildfires that are raging in California, climate change and the responsibilities of developing and developed countries in mitigating climate change. And we are joined by Praveer So probably starting with the wildfires it's been recorded as California's worst year of fires and at the same time the same year we see that it's also possibly the highest temperature that's ever been recorded on earth again in California which was last month and at the same time of course we're seeing other extreme weather events be floods or cyclones or hurricanes or droughts. So you know all of this has made it extremely difficult for scientists to now say that this is not linked to climate change. How do you see these developments? Well we have discussed the issue of wildfires earlier as well and as you have said yes wildfires are a phenomena every year but if you look at Brazil, we look at Africa, we look at California now earlier, we have also looked at Australia. The wildfire seems to be getting worse every year. So we are seeing a scenario where it's not just something which is an accident, okay more fires this year, here more fires there which could be normal accidents of events. This fires are not really accidents of nature but really show an underlying cause which in this case is climate change and global warming and it's correlating with global warming very well. So yes I think we are very clear that we are in the phase of change and the phase of change unlike what the United States or perhaps the western rethought who see or who are there in cold countries they would have thought that okay how does it matter if it gets a little warmer here you will have better winter temperatures but what they are seeing is there is a collateral damage here typhoons, hurricanes, wildfires, all of this they have to be taken into account when you compute damage. So it's not just that it's going to be much worse for countries in the global south but it is also going to be worse for what would be called the more cold climate countries where I remember when I was in the United States for some work once when a Canadian friend of mine told me we don't really have much problems with global warming Canada would welcome global warming because you know it's very cold in Canada so it's not going to be that simple. But at the same time we're not really seeing these the leaders of these countries really thinking that you know it's a matter of concern Donald Trump who is continuing to deny that climate change exists and who thinks that it's just a matter of clearing the fuel in the forest and even in Australia it is a similar situation then these are first world countries but even in Brazil here Bolsonaro we have here Bolsonaro who denies that there are even fires in fact. So then where are we on the Paris agreement where all these countries promise that they will take action to mitigate climate change to keep the temperatures low to keep emissions low. How can we then proceed with that that you know even despite all these extreme events we're not really seeing any any kind of alarm. You know there was once I think one of the famous writers who wrote that if your salary depends on saying something then it's very unlikely you will not say it and this is what's beginning to happen there is a vested interest in a certain set of people who would like to deny climate change because accepting climate change means investments of different kinds and they would not like to do that and therefore climate change denial is not just ignorance it's also extreme self-interest which a lot of the leaders of these countries are showing and we'll talk about it just a little later. As a consequence they're saying even if we don't invest in climate change we are going to get less hit than others and we have the economic wealth hall then to fight what the climate change will bring in better than others so even if climate change takes place we are not going to be hit that badly. This is essentially the argument and spending tomorrow as a simple capitalist logic is better than spending today so let's postpone the problem for later so that this is one set of arguments you get and that explains why the United States repeatedly has not negotiated good faith on climate change and even they have negotiated agreements they've either not signed it as George Bush did earlier or walked out of it so we have repeated scenarios in which the United States negotiates climate change, weakens agreement, doesn't sign it or in the Paris Agreement case a weak climate change was agreed to get the United States on board and the United States walked out of it. We've also have the argument that comes again and again that well you know big emitters should take steps now here I would like to show you first how do you look at emission do you look at emission in terms of the total amount being emitted by countries or on a per capita basis the argument here is simple you have a country like China or a country like India which is roughly 1.4 1.5 billion people and you have the entire European Union for instance which is a just about roughly maybe a little more than a third of that now there when you compare say 20 odd countries with nine countries compared to one country India and China you will say look India and China are emitting so much but the question is how its people consumption which finally becomes carbon emission so it's not unrelated to what people consume as electricity and therefore when you look at the emissions we really need to look at what are called the per capita emissions and I'm going to show you what the per capita emissions currently are look at for instance United States this is 2018 figures this is essentially 16.56 tons 16 and a 16 and a half tons per capita now this if you take the global average the global average is roughly about five tons per capita at the moment if you take India it's two tons per capita that means we are way below one eighth of what per capita emission of the United States is if you take China it's about seven tons slowly inching towards eight tons per capita while this also is about half of the American emissions per capita but if you take the total amount then of course India is a large country in terms of population so it might seem India is a big emitter but when you take people into consideration then that's not the picture you get now let's also look at a different picture for instance what's the population of countries now seven and a half billion people US Mexico is by this argument US and Mexico as you can see is a very small fraction of the population of China or India compared to China and India if you put the European Union entire Europe not European Union alone entire European Union USA Mexico and smaller countries which are there for instance you know of course Canada is also there in North America but entire North America entire Europe that would count to something like 1.3 billion people now that is smaller than individually the population of China and India but when you look at their emissions you will find the US, Canada, Mexico and some small islands which really don't count emit as much as China does in fact twice as much as China does if we put Europe together Europe is again almost the same amount as the US plus North America well China and India put together are still much smaller than they this is in terms of global cumulative emissions we're not talking of the emissions that we are emitting currently why am I taking cumulative emissions because when you talk of warming effect of carbon dioxide it is the amount of carbon dioxide that is available in the atmosphere that leads to greenhouse warming and unfortunately carbon dioxide does not get removed from the atmosphere easily so what we have in other words is a scenario in which carbon dioxide emissions accumulate and it's the accumulation of the carbon dioxide the cumulative emissions that really drive temperature change temperature rise so when you talk about global warming talking of only size of countries is not enough you also have to look at the total population of cumulative total population of countries but as well as the cumulative emission of countries to really get the true picture so what we are now seeing is increasingly we are being talked about as countries who are emitters current emitters have to be put on the same plane forget about history historical emissions are not the issue and you have to reduce all your emissions now that means countries like India for instance have to reduce emissions when their populations are much bigger so per capita is also not to be taken into account historical emissions are not to be taken into account we should reduce for size of the country which means if India was broken into say 30 odd countries as Europe is then we would not have had any problems but they just act that we are one country or China is one country we are being looked upon as big emitters so that is one paradox no historical emissions to be taken into account only big emitters as countries without size of the population this as somebody said is like saying India is eating too much because it consumes so much food grains and each person therefore should conceive consume much lower amounts in order to meet the global country wise size of what they should actually eat so this are some of the bogus considerations being put to put here because obviously a country with large population will have emissions larger than country with a small population that's obvious and as the same argument I said that North American population is not my country it's really by size of the countries in terms of population the US emits much more than for instance other countries it's also a bigger population apart from per capita emission also being higher but if we put all of that together the picture we begin to get is for the currently is forget historical emissions forget per capita emissions just let us catch each country by the size of emissions and say they have to do something and by that what is being argued India with a per capita emission which is one eighth that of the United States which is half that of the average emissions of in terms of per capita emissions of the world if you divide the entire emissions today by the total population we are half of that so we are actually below that China is well above that at the moment so yes China has certainly more responsibility than India if we do all of that then the argument is India should cut emissions so don't grow your emissions you should cut like any advanced country you should cut because you're a big emitter so one major issue is the big emitter tag that we have got because of our size of our population and which the secretary general of the United Nations recently said India should actually stop increasing its emission by 2030 by a certain 2050 it should in fact meet the targets of the developing developed countries by 2030 is what he said and we should also forget about coal not increase our coal consumption all of the arguments which finally leads to the position that all countries who are big emitters in terms of size have the same responsibility and therefore India has the same responsibility as for instance the United States now this is of course we've also said in the context when the US has walked out of the climate change agreement so because we haven't walked out we are saying we will participate and all countries should participate there is an impact of what we do business as usual that will be on all of us including of course countries like India so we are being then lectured about what we should do the same lecture is not being given to countries who are not accepting their responsibility now obviously there is impact on countries are also going to be differentiated a three degree rise or the four degree rise in North India is different from a three four degree rise say in Iceland so obviously there are implications for different countries and this is one of the paradox of the situation those who have created but not created the problem they are going to bear the brunt of this and this in fact is the United States game that then others solve the problem we will live off the benefit because others will lower emissions because they are affected more of course the picture is not that simple calculations models show that every country is going to have impact and it's also clear Hurricanes fires all of this is showing the impact is there on the United States as well but there is another issue that comes up the countries who switch later they in fact will benefit why because technology investments as it increases bring doubts per unit cost so the unit cost of renewable energies is going to be reduced in the future as it reduces the countries who come in later don't make any investments now will benefit because of lower cost at that point of time so richer countries would like to postpone if possible all the investments required for this change over because their consumptions are higher so obviously they would like to make those investments later well countries which are lower in the economic total pool so to say they have to make their investments up front right now when the cost of renewables are still higher of course the cost of renewables are coming down rapidly so there is an economic advantage at some point switching over and a lot of the switch over now globally is taking place because of that so this is the US plan and last the last point I have on this is there is a capitalist logic of this that if we don't invest today but invest five years later then in terms of the way capital calculates cost this is actually investment in the future is for the same of the same amount is better than investment today because five years I have held the money I can invest it in other things I'll get my returns my five billion dollars which I might require to invest will then become probably five and a half billion dollars so I still save half a billion dollars this is unfortunately the logic of the capital and therefore the capitalist logic embeds in it everybody does not anything that benefits everybody is not in the interest of capital what is in the interest of capital is purely self-interest and this does not does not behave well when it comes to large-skinned societal targets and unless society has a way of imposing this will on big capital capital by itself will not invest in climate change and aversion strategies and that is the crisis we see today it's a crisis of capital it's a crisis of capitalism which believes that they do not have the responsibility to anybody in the world except the shareholders and the shareholders responsibilities fulfilled by earning as much as they can today so if you put all of that together that means climate change is not their priority unless they are dragged kicking and screaming to fulfill their responsibilities to society and this can only happen if there is political change unfortunately the political change we see is more to the right and the US you've already talked about has various people now who have been put into position as the chief technical officer chief scientific officer in various capacities all of whom are climate change deniers so we have a very peculiar situation the biggest country in terms of responsibility who has the maximum amount of carbon emissions historical emissions in the atmosphere which is about 29 percent and europe is followed by that i think they have about 23 percent so 53 53 53 53 percent is these two continents which have what 18 percent of the world's population so they are at the moment the ones who are denying climate change of course we also have Bolsonaro of course if you have certain european countries who are saying that no climate change is an issue and we should do something about it but by and large they're being led by the united states in different arenas and therefore the globe coming together uniting against the united states does not look a likely scenario at the moment with all kinds of other strategic geostrategic issues in the balance the war trade war against china the isolation of russia trying to get the european union to side with the united states on these issues i don't think we have a conducive global climate where the those who are the out outlaws in terms of climate change can be forced to fulfill their responsibilities and it has a very very heavy consequences for the world as we are already beginning to see and just in the post-covid world during the recovery when probably the regulations would even be less for economies to recover we're going to witness us even more so thank you probably for joining us today on this issue that's all the time we have keep watching you stick


This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness, time-effectiveness, and sociodemographic representation of diverse recruitment methods used to enroll participants in the Interact Study, a cohort study conducted in Canadian cities. The study found that Facebook advertisements generated the most recruits at a cost of five Canadian dollars and four cents, US 1.57, per completer, while mailed letters were the costliest but served to reach older participants. All methods resulted in a gender imbalance, with women participating more. A generalized linear model for daily Montreal recruitment identified two-day lag effects on most recruitment methods, except for the snowball campaign, four days, letters, 15 days, and reminder cards, five days. The study highlights the need for more comprehensive documentation and reporting of recruitment efforts across studies to improve our capacity to conduct inclusive intervention research.

A convicted leader of one of Ecuador's most powerful drug gangs has vanished from the prison where he was serving his sentence, and authorities were investigating whether he escaped like he did a decade ago from another facility Ecuadorian authorities reported Sunday that Adolfo Macias, alias Fido and leader of Los Caneros Gang, wasn't in his cell, and by Monday they hadn't found him or explained what had happened.Equador's prosecutor's office tweeted Monday that it had filed charges against. Two prison guards as part of the investigation into the case which it is considering as a prisoner's escape. Also Monday, Ecuador's president Daniel Noboa announced that he decided to decree a national state of emergency, a measure that lets authorities suspend people's rights and mobilize the military in places like the prisons.


Okay, so good evening. The title of tonight's lecture is Pei Saksheni and Second Chances, the Torah's response to Christian missionaries. So one of the cornerstones of Christian theology focuses on the issue of atonement. In other words, how we are to deal with sin and forgiveness from God. In fact, most often when a Christian missionary, and by that I mean any Christian who's motivated to share their beliefs with you and for the purpose of winning you over to his or her faith. So when they wish to engage with a Jew in conversation, they will almost invariably turn to the issue of sin in our life and how we deal with it. So a common question or challenge that a Christian might ask you is, if you were knocked over by a bus tomorrow, heaven forbid, would you be going to heaven or hell? Now the truth is, the average Jew, we don't think like that. We generally focus on the here and now and try to make the most of the life that we're living now to make a difference in the world that we're in. And so this can sometimes catch us off guard. And so when the Christian missionary senses that, you know, this has really caught you off guard, then they might proceed to try and teach you about what they claim is the Torah teaching about sin and righteousness and God's perfect righteousness. Okay? So the Christian might challenge you with what they call the good person test. They ask you, do you think you're a good person? And everybody usually says, I think I'm a good person. And they say, well, do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions and say, sure. And so they start asking you this list of questions. They ask you, have you ever told a lie? Okay. Yes. I've told a lie. Okay.  Yes. Okay.  Have you ever taken something that does not belong to you? And now we start going back to our childhood or at some point and we're like, yeah, probably I did take something. Okay.  Okay. And then they go on to say, well, have you ever looked at another person with lust or desire? Now here, they're capitalizing on the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus says that the Torah says that anybody who sleeps with a married woman is a commiss adultery. But I say anybody who looks at another woman with lust is guilty of adultery. And so the person will say, well, perhaps I have. Okay. By your own admission, then you're an adulterer. Okay. And then we're not doing very well over here, are we? And then they go on to ask, have you ever been angry with another person? And again, they'll point out that according to the New Testament, anybody who gets angry with somebody is as if they've committed murder. So they say basically, look, have you ever taken God's name in vain? And you say, well, yes, perhaps I have.  And basically they say, well, look, this is just five of the Ten Commandments. And by your own admission and the standard of God's law, the Ten Commandments, you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, murderous adulter at heart. And so now the question is, do you think you'll be going to heaven or hell? And it's a setup, really. And it kind of puts you in a difficult position and it really opens you up to listening to what the missionary might have to say about what they believe is the way that you can deal with this sin and secure your place in heaven. And so if you're still engaging with the Christian at this point and you answer that based on this test, you'll probably be going to hell, then the Christian will take the opportunity to share the good news with you that although you deserve to be sent straight to hell, someone's already paid the price for you. And that by believing in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross for your sins, that you can have eternal life. And that's basically the way the conversation goes. Now to help understand what's wrong with this presentation, we need to take a closer look at the Christian solution for the problem of sin and then look at the Jewish scriptures solution for how to deal with sin. So now since we're just coming from the Festival of Pesach, the Passover, and in just a few weeks we're going to be celebrating Pesach Shani, which is the second Passover on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of E.R., so what I'd like to do is I'd like to look at Pesach Shani to see what it can teach us about the Torah's teaching on dealing with the problem of sin. Now before we go any further, it's helpful at the outset to define what the word sin really means. What does it mean to sin? And so in the Jewish scriptures there are a number of Hebrew words that are used for transgression. You have Chet, you have Avon, you have Peshah, and all of them really in some sense mean sin, but for the purpose of our discussion we're going to look at the Hebrew word Chet. The sacrifice, the sin sacrifice was called the Chetat from the word Chet. So what does the word Chet mean? And so in Hebrew the Chet, the word Chet means to miss the mark. So for example, if somebody were to take a bow and shoot an arrow and miss the mark, the word is Chet, to miss, to miss the mark. And the same is true in the Greek, when the word sin appears in the New Testament in the Greek, it's the same meaning in Greek, to miss the mark. So that's what it means to sin. So when a person fails to fulfill one of the positive directives of God or commits an act that God has directed us not to commit, that's a sin. You're missing the mark.  God said not to do something and you did. And so therefore you've missed the mark, you have sinned, okay. Now in Isaiah 59, we see that it says, that our sins actually serve as a separation between us and God. It separates us from God. So when we sin, that causes a separation. And so the question is, what are we to do with our sin? And how can we be reconciled with God? This is going to be the discussion for tonight. So now I need to make a disclaimer at this point. That when it comes to any discussion about sin and atonement, not all Christians believe exactly the same thing. And so therefore if I say tonight, Christians will say or Christians believe, what I mean to say is that this is typically what you're going to hear from a conservative born again evangelical Christian, if you ever have the fortune of running into them and having such a discussion with them. So here goes, let's start. The first reference you have on your sheet is from the book of Matthew. The book of Matthew is the first of the four gospels, the way it appears in the New Testament. And at the beginning in chapter one, it talks about the birth of Jesus, okay. And we're told that an angel comes and tells Joseph that his wife Mary is pregnant. And in verse 21 it says, and she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, why? For he will save his people from their sins, okay. So right at the beginning of the gospels, it already makes it very clear that the reason why Jesus came to the world was to save you for your sins. And that's why he was called Jesus, Jesus from the Hebrew word Yahshua, which means to save. And so therefore the teaching is that he came and was born to be able to save you from your sins. The next reference you have on your sheet is from first Corinthians, first Corinthians chapter 15 verse three, where Paul writes, for I delivered to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. So again, this notion that Jesus came to die for your sins is central to the message of the New Testament. And so we see from the perspective of the Christian scriptures, Jesus was sent to the world to answer and to deal with the issue of sin. In Romans chapter five verse eight, Paul writes, but God demonstrates his own love towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. And he continues in Romans chapter five verse 11, and not only that, but we also rejoiced in God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have now received the reconciliation. In other words, from a Christian perspective, it's pretty straightforward. Jesus paid the penalty for your transgressions, your sins, and through your faith in that, you are reconciled with God. And that's pretty much what a Christian missionary will tell you after you fail the good person test. That the answer to your problem is that God in his love and his kindness, instead of requiring you to pay the penalty of death, someone else took the bullet for you. Someone else died for your sins. Okay. Now, when trying to preach to the average person on the street, the Christian may have an easier time just quoting verses from the New Testament. However, when trying to engage with the Jew, the Christian will realize that the New Testament may not hold much weight for a Jew. And the Jew may turn around to the Christian and say, one second, all these verses that you're quoting to me, they're all from the New Testament. I'm a Jewish. I don't believe in the New Testament. At this point, what will often happen is the Christian will end up discussing the animal sacrifices that are described in the Mosaic Law in the book of Leviticus, that in the book of Leviticus, we read about the sacrificial system that God set up, and they will tell you that based on that sacrificial system set up in the Mosaic Law, there was a way to deal with sin, and they will assert that in Leviticus, chapter 17, verse 11, it says that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Now, many Jews will not know Leviticus 17 and 11 off the top of their head. And so when somebody's coming along and telling you that in Leviticus 17 and 11, it says without the shedding of blood, there's no forgiveness, you might just say, OK, if you say so. Right? However, in reality, Leviticus 17 and 11 says nothing of the sort, doesn't say anything like that. However, for the purpose of the presentation of the Christian, what they are asserting is that according to Leviticus 17 and 11, there's an absolute need for vicarious blood sacrifice. And so now you're back in to a predicament that you were before, where he's saying to you that I said to you before that the way to salvation is by accepting the sacrifice that Jesus made for your sins. Here you see in Leviticus 17 and 11 that blood had to be shed for your sins. And without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Now, since you don't have a temple today, and you cannot bring up sacrifices, or at least you don't. So what's your dispensation? What's your ticket out? Now as I mentioned, the truth is Leviticus 17 and 11 says nothing of the sort. It doesn't say without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Actually that phrase comes from the Christian scriptures. That comes from the book of Hebrews chapter 9, verse 22, where it says without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. However, the Christian assertion is that the source for Hebrews chapter 9, verse 22, is from Leviticus 17 and 11. In other words, the author of Hebrews didn't just make this out, right? He got it from Leviticus 17 and 11. So let's take a look at the actual verse in Leviticus 17 and 11. You have it on your source sheets. It says as follows, for the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. Sounds impressive. It almost sounds like the Christian is actually quoting accurately. That's what it sounds like. The Christian argument here is that Leviticus 17 and 11 is clear that it is the blood that makes an atonement for your soul, then by implication without it you have no atonement and thus cannot be reconciled with God and you will die in your sins. That's the problem. However, as Proverbs chapter 18, verse 17 wisely states, the first one to plead his cause seems right until his neighbor comes and examines him. And that's what we're going to do. We're going to examine it. There are a number of problems with the Christian presentation as we shall see. Let's go through them. Firstly, there's some subtle manipulation happening when the Christian quotes Leviticus 17 and 11 in isolation to the unsuspected Jew. You see the way it's being presented over here is as if Leviticus 17 and 11 is part of a passage and a teaching in Scripture that addresses the question of how we are to deal with sin and reconciling with God. Again, if I just read Leviticus 17 and 11, the way we read it in isolation, I could assume that Leviticus chapter 17 is a big teaching about the problem of sin and how it separates us from God and how we need to deal with sin. And this Leviticus 17 and 11 is the answer to that problem of sin. That's what I could assume. And what the Christian missionary would be doing is just giving me the executive summary, the bottom line, so to speak. That's the impression I would get when I hear this verse in isolation. However, that's not the case because if we take a closer look at Leviticus 17 and 11 in context, we will see something quite different. We will see that in fact the discussion has nothing to do with the problem of sin and how we are to reconcile ourselves with God, but rather something very different. Let's read it together. And whatever man, this is starting from verse 10, and whatever man of the house of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who consumes any blood, I will set my face against that person who consumes blood and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. For it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. Therefore I say to the children of Israel, no one among you shall consume blood nor shall any stranger who sojourns among you consume blood. Oh, that's a different story. You see, what becomes immediately apparent is that the topic of this passage is not how to secure atonement from sins, but rather it is the prohibition against consuming blood. In verse 11, we are told parenthetically that the reason for this prohibition is that blood contains the vitality of the animal and consequently when we bring an animal sacrifice its blood serves as the atoning agent and not another part of its body. And it's for this reason why God says blood is not there for you to drink or to do anything else with. It's there for the purpose of affecting atonement when you bring a sacrifice and therefore there's a prohibition of consuming blood. Okay? Another issue to consider is what is being said and what is not being said in Leviticus 1711. What the passage does say is that since blood symbolizes the life of the animal God has given it, meaning the blood, to us as a means of atoning for our sins. But the verse does not say that it, meaning the blood, is the only exclusive means that God has provided to make atonement. Right? In other words, the argument of the Christian is that when the author of Hebrews says there is, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. They are taking it from Leviticus 1711. But Hebrews 922 is saying that this is the only way. Leviticus 1711 is not saying it's the only way. Leviticus 1711, even when you talk about what it does say, it says that it is a means of atonement, not the only means of atonement. One final point before moving on is that even if we were to accept the Christian assertion that Leviticus 1711 does somehow teach that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. The verse makes it clear that we are speaking about what? We're speaking about the blood of the animal that is sacrificed on the altar as required in the Torah.  That's not in the verse. And by any stretch of the imagination, you could not derive that from this verse.  They believe that because God loved the world, He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross so that we can be reconciled with God and have eternal life. And when speaking with the Jew, the Christian will assert that this teaching is in line with the Jewish scriptures based on their reading of Leviticus 1711. And what we've seen over here is that, number one, Leviticus 1711 is not a teaching about the problem of sin and reconciliation between man and God. Number two, we've seen that Leviticus 1711 does not say that the shedding of blood is the only exclusive way to be forgiven for your sins. And finally, number three, Leviticus 1711 speaks only about the blood of an animal sacrifice upon the altar and not about a human sacrifice that one must believe in. So what we have is the realization that there isn't a single verse in the Jewish scriptures that teaches that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Now I think from a Christian perspective, this is very embarrassing. Again, from a Christian perspective, this is the most central teaching and the most central issue in the Torah. And yet there isn't a single verse in the Jewish scriptures to support this claim. That's very embarrassing. You know, if we wanted to say that Shabbos is a very important pillar within Jewish life, however, it never features in the Torah, ever. That'd be very embarrassing. But Shabbos appears countless times in the Torah. And the same thing goes for many other things that are central to Judaism. And here, the most central thing to Christianity never appears even once in the Jewish scriptures. That's very embarrassing. At this point, I'd like to introduce a story of Pesachsheini and see what it can teach us about the Torah's attitude towards the problem of sin and how we ought to go about reconciling with God. So in Exodus chapter 12, God instructs Moses to tell the people of Israel to take a lamb that would be used for the carbon Pesach. This is in the first year when they were about to leave Egypt. So we read in verse 6, you have this on your sheets, and you shall keep it for inspection. That's the lamb that they had taken and kept for four days until the 14th day of this month. And the entire congregation of the community of Israel shall slaughter it in the afternoon. And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they will eat it.  That's the matzah. With bitter herbs, they shall eat it. God then tells Moses that this day shall be for you as a memorial and you shall celebrate it as a festival for the Lord throughout your generations. You shall celebrate it as an everlasting statue. In other words, Pesach would be a Passover would be observed not just then, but for all future generations, which is why we still practice it today. That's why we still have a Pesach said it today. And when the temple is standing, we would bring a Corban Pesach offering. Now, although Moses was told that this would be practiced throughout future generations, in reality, however, the past offering was only offered once more in the desert, and it was never offered again until they came to the land of Israel. And there's a reason for this. Twice the verse in the Torah associates the Corban Pesach with the Jewish people coming to the land of Israel. And that's understood to mean that God was telling Moses that when would you need to continue bringing up the Corban Pesach once you enter into the land? And remember, this is before the sin of the spies. So it was supposed to happen any day, right? But since it was tied up, so therefore it was not continued, it was tied up with entering the land of Israel, it wasn't continued for the other years that they were sojourning in the desert. So what happened? They were traveling in the desert. So what happened? What happened was that there was one time that they did bring up the Corban Pesach. And that was something we read about in Numbers chapter nine. We got instructed Moses on the first day of Nisan in the second year to instruct the Jewish people to bring the Pesach offering again. Now Moses does so and the Israelites do as they were commanded. However, we read in Numbers chapter nine, verse six, there were men who were richly unclean because of contact with a dead person and therefore could not make the Passover sacrifice on that day. So they approached Moses and Aaron on that day. Those men said to him, we are richly unclean because of contact with a dead person, but why should we be excluded or why should we lose out so as not to bring the offering of the Lord in its appointed time with all the children of Israel? So Moses says to them, wait and I will hear what the Lord instructs concerning you. Verse nine, the Lord spoke to Moses saying, speak to the children of Israel saying, any person who becomes unclean from contact with dead or is on a distant journey, whether among you, meaning right now, or in future generations, or if this happens in future generations, he shall make a Passover sacrifice for the Lord. In the second month on the 14th day, in the afternoon, they shall make it, they shall eat it with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs. And he goes on to talk about a couple of other requirements similar to the Pesach offering that was brought in the first month. So what we have over here is a story about people who wanted to follow God's commandments, but due to circumstances, they were prevented from being able to observe the Passover in accordance with the Torah law. They were impure, they were richly impure, they couldn't bring it and they couldn't partake in it. Now they could have just assumed too bad. Tough luck, right? You miss the train, you miss the train. It might not be a fault. Okay, you're a human being too bad, but they don't assume that it's just too bad. They don't just resign themselves to the fact that they won't be able to partake. They come to Moses fully expecting and in a sense demanding a way to fix and rectify the matter, which is quite strange. God is the one that comes along and sets down the law. You can't come along and arbitrarily start demanding an alternative and yet they do. Moses also doesn't just say, sorry, too bad. I mean, he could have done that. He could have just said, I haven't heard anything about this. God never gave me any special instructions about an alternative. Sorry, too bad, but he doesn't do that. He says, I'll take the question to God. In other words, it's a good question. It's a reasonable thing to ask. I'm gonna take it back to God. I don't know. And they go to God and God answers that in the event that someone missed out on the first Passover due to impurity or being in a far off place, there's a second chance. God says, you're right. And I'm gonna give you a second chance on the 14th day of the second month. Now, what we see over here is that there's no need to bring a sin sacrifice for not bringing it up the first time. There's no punishment involved. There's no penalty to pay. It's just instructions from God on how to take advantage of this second chance that God in his infinite kindness is providing. God says, I'm giving you a second chance and this is the way you need to do it. He gives you clear instructions how to go about rectifying what you missed out on. And that is by bringing the sacrifice, the Passover sacrifice in the second month in accordance with God's law. Okay, now it's for this reason, Pesach Shani has become known as the Festival of Second Chances. This is the festival that teaches us that it's never too late and you can always have another go, have a second chance. Pesach Shani is a case in point where we see God factoring our humanity and our fallibility into the mosaic law and giving us explicit directions on how to approach our fallibility and our humanity and our proneness to mess up. This is one case in point where he gives us instructions of how to look at it and how to react to it. But Pesach Shani is not an anomaly. This is not just a one-off. That is the notion that God in his kindness and compassion offers us a second chance. It is not limited to the story of Pesach Shani. Right after the sin of Adam and Eve in the garden, once they were kicked out from the garden, meaning after their original sin, we read about what God tells Cain after messing up. What do I mean he messed up? He brings an inferior offering to God and God doesn't turn to that offering. He, so to speak, snubs him, turns a cold shoulder, not interested in that inferior offering. So in Genesis chapter four, verse six, we read that God says to Cain, why are you annoyed and why has your countenance fallen? Verse seven, is it not so that if you improve yourself, it will be forgiven you? If you do not improve, however, at the entrance sin is lying and to you is it slunging, but you can rule over it. So what we have over here is a couple of things which are important, but the point for tonight is God tells him that if you improve, you'll be forgiven. He doesn't say if you shed blood, you'll be forgiven. You just need to improve and the implication is you can improve. In fact, he explicitly says that sin is lying, is crouching, waiting for you, but you can rule over it. He's saying that you actually can overcome sin. In Deuteronomy chapter four, Moses gives over the same message to the Israelites before they cross over into the land of Israel. He tells them that even if or when they are scattered because of their idolatry, nevertheless, when they seek the Lord, they will find him. If they seek him with all their heart and with all their soul. That's in Deuteronomy chapter four, verse 29. Moses goes on to tell them in the same chapter that this also holds true for what will happen at the end of days with the Jewish people, that they will return to the Lord and we will obey him. But the question we are often asked, it's just normal to ask this question and Christians really make a big deal about this is how can our puny little human efforts to return to God in obedience ever suffice? How could it ever be enough? Again, you need to understand that when you sin, what you are doing is you are rebelling against God.  What do you think you're doing? You can't just rebel. So it's quite serious. And so if you want to reconcile with this king, right, there has to be some kind of major change that happens. And because God is infinite and God is perfect, the assumption is that our puny little efforts to try to be a little bit better and to be more obedient can never suffice, can never be enough. But thankfully Moses addresses this in that very same chapter in chapter four, he explains how our puny little effort to try and be more obedient and return to God suffices. And he explains in verse 31, that it's because the Lord your God is a merciful God. In other words, God is the one who says that it's enough. God is the one that says, it's up to me. It's my choice to decide what is enough and what isn't enough. What I will accept, what I won't accept.  Why? Because I'm merciful. That's why. And that is the basis of how and why Chuva works. Why repentance actually is able to affect forgiveness because it's predicated and based upon God's kindness and God's mercy. And so the point here is that the basis of our reconciliation is not our efforts to reach perfection on our own. That's never what the basis of it is. The basis is that in God's kindness and mercy, he accepts our puny little effort to humbly return to him in obedience. However, what's important to note over here is that God does not tell us that he will pay the penalty for us in order to be able to reconcile with us. That he never tells us. There's nowhere in scripture where he says, oh, you know what?  You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take care of the penalty by substituting you with myself, which is essentially what the Christians believe. They don't believe that just a human being died. They believe that God himself died. That God himself was crucified because Jesus, according to Christians, was God incarnate. And so God took upon himself your sin. God sets out the path of reconciliation that requires a turning away from disobedience and returning to him in obedience. The notion that God absolutely requires a penalty to be played in blood in order to reconcile humanity with God is not taught or supported in the Jewish scriptures. Now, there's another story about Pesach that we read in the second book of Chronicles, chapter 30. You have it in your source sheets. And we read about something that took place during the reign of King Hezekiah. It says as follows, and Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote, led us to Ephraim and Manasseh to come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem to perform the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, the God of Israel. And the King and his officers and the entire congregation to counsel in Jerusalem to perform the Passover sacrifice in the second month, for they could not perform it at that time, for the priests had not consecrated themselves sufficiently and the people had not gathered to Jerusalem. So what happened over here? Basically, King Hezekiah was one of the true righteous kings of Israel. And he completely transformed the land of Israel by setting up education for children. And by first and foremost, being an example of righteousness, and ultimately pleading. And what's the word I'm looking for? Trying to impose on the people to return to God. And so when it came to this Passover, what he really wanted is that everybody from all over should come to the temple and should come and offer up the sacrifice. Now, there's an interesting discussion in the Talmud about what this actually means in chapter 30 about the second Passover. And really what they say is, it's not that it was in the second month, meaning in the month of Eir, but rather we know that the Hebrew calendar can sometimes have 12 months or 13 months. And because they saw that they won't be ready in time for the Passover, what they decided to do was to have the month of Nisan to just become the second Adar, like the 13 month of the Hebrew calendar year. And so when they say they had the Passover in the second month, what they mean is they pushed off the month of Nisan to the next month. Be that as it may. We continue in verse 13, and a huge crowd assembled in Jerusalem to observe the festival of matzahs in the second month, an exceedingly large assembly. And they arose and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem and all the altars for incense they removed and cast them into the Kidron Valley. And they slaughtered the Passover sacrifices on the 14th day of the second month and the priests and the Levites were embarrassed and they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the Lord. Why were they embarrassed? They were embarrassed because many of them didn't believe that Hezekiah would really be able to influence the Jewish people as a whole to come down to Jerusalem. But we read that God had a hand in this. God actually helped this, that his efforts should be successful and that people should turn to his calling. And so that's why they were embarrassed because they didn't properly consecrate themselves until they saw everybody starting to come. That all of a sudden they're like, oh, we better purify ourselves. And they stood in their station as was their custom, according to the Torah of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood from the hands of the Levites. For there were many among the congregation who had not consecrated themselves and the Levites were in charge of the slaughter of the Passover sacrifices for everyone who was unclean to make it holy for the Lord. Verse 18, for a multitude of people, many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Isaac and Zebulun had not purified themselves for they ate the Passover sacrifice, not as it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, may the good Lord atone for anyone who has set his whole heart to seek God, the Lord, the God of his forefathers, though he be not cleaned, according to the purity that pertains to the Holy things. And in verse 20, and the Lord herkored to Hezekiah and healed the people. So what we see over here is that although the people did not adhere perfectly to the laws of the Passover, in other words, they partook of the Pesach offering, the Passover sacrifice, even though they weren't pure, nevertheless, they had set their whole heart to seek God and God accepted King Hezekiah's prayer. You see, the Jewish approach to dealing with sin and reconciliation is based on the recognition that God knows that we are imperfect and that we will often fail. And in His mercy, He forgives us time and time again when we turn to Him in obedience. This is very beautifully described in the Psalms, in Psalm 103, verse 10, where it says you have it on your sheets, He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor has He repaid us according to our iniquities, for as the heights of the heavens over the earth, so great is His kindness to those who fear Him. As the distance of the distance of East from West, He distanced our transgressions from us. As a father has mercy on his sons, the Lord had mercy on those who fear Him, for He knows our creation, He remembers that we are dust. God recognizes that we are human. He knows that we are prone to sin and God repeatedly encourages us that when we fail, which will inevitably happen, then the path we need to take is to return to Him in obedience and rely on His mercy. We see in Isaiah 55, verse seven. God says through the prophet Isaiah, the wicked shall abandon his way, the man of iniquity his thoughts, and he shall return to the Lord, who shall have mercy upon him and to our God, for he will freely pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, says the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. In other words, don't try to figure out how your puny little effort is going to make a difference. You'll never understand it, but God in His abundant mercy and kindness says, that's what I've told you, and if you do it, I'll forgive you. In the book of Micah chapter six, the prophet actually explicitly talks about the question of substitution. Over there, the question is asked, shall I give my firstborn for the sin of my soul? That's the question that's asked in chapter six of Isaiah. And God's answer is no.  Only the Hebrew there is key im, only to do justice and love kindness and walk humbly with your God. Now, does that mean that sacrifice is not necessary? Should we just abolish God's sacrificial system? Obviously not. That's not what we're trying to say. Included in walking humbly with God is the acceptance of all of commandments, which include the laws about sacrifices. So when there is a temple standing and you fit the criteria that requires you to bring a sacrifice as it is delineated in the Torah, we have to bring a sacrifice. The fact that there is no temple, we need to follow the laws of God that tells us in Leviticus, chapter 17, verses eight through nine, that we're not allowed to bring a sacrifice outside of the tent of meeting. However, what's important to note is that here in Micah and so too in Isaiah and so too in the other prophets, what they're clearly telling us is that the key to our reconciliation is not substitution. That's not the key to our reconciliation. The key to our reconciliation with God is obedience. Time and time again, the answer is obedience. The prophet Jonah was told by God to go and make a proclamation against the city of Nineveh. Now who were the city of Nineveh? The city of Nineveh were a people that was so depraved. We read about them in the book of Nahum. In the book of Nahum, in chapter three, verse one, it says, woe to the bloody city.  Its victim never departs. In fact, there's a whole long prophecy cited against them about their utter destruction in the book of Nahum. But when we read the book of Jonah, we read that Jonah did not want to go. He didn't want to go to Nineveh. But when he finally did go, the people of Nineveh took heed to his words. And what did they do? They repented. They changed their ways. They came back humbly before God by changing their ways. And in Jonah chapter three, verse 10, we read, and God saw their deeds, that they had repented of their evil way, and the Lord relented concerning the evil that he had spoken to do to them, and he did not do it. No one paid any penalty. They just humbled themselves and repented, and God and his mercy forgave them. Now, what's really interesting and important to note about this story is the reaction of Jonah. The fact that God forgave the people of Nineveh after they repented did not surprise Jonah in the least. In fact, this is exactly what Jonah expected. In chapter four of Jonah, we read how Jonah, upon witnessing God's mercy, when God forgives the Ninevines on account of their repentance, Jonah exclaimed to God, I knew that you are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger, abundant in kindness, and relenting from doing harm. You see, Jonah here is quoting from where? Not Leviticus 1711, he's quoting from Exodus chapter 34, verse six, which describes God as God, compassionate, and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness. Why? Because this is the passage from the five books of Moses that Jonah the prophet saw as central to the process of achieving forgiveness from sin. Not Leviticus 1711, as the Christian missionary would have us believe. And so I'd like to just conclude tonight with a passage from Ezekiel chapter 33, which deals clearly and directly with the issue and the problem of sin. Let's read it together. Ezekiel chapter 33, verse 10. Now you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, so have you spoken, saying, meaning this is what the Israelites were saying, and it's come before God, and God is going to respond to what they have been saying. What have they been saying? They've been saying our sins and transgressions are upon us, and because of them we are wasting away, how then can we live? And by this introductory verse, we know that the issue and the verses that follow are speaking directly and explicitly about the problem of sin. What does he say? Verse 11, say to them, as I live, says the Lord God, I do not wish for the death of the wicked, but for the wicked to repent of his ways so that he may live.  Verse 12, and you, son of man, speaking to Ezekiel over here, say to the members of your people, this is important, the righteousness of the righteous will not save him on the day of his transgression. In other words, if you've done good deeds before, don't think that that's going to protect you on the day that you rebel against God. It's not gonna protect you. And likewise, in the same way, and the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble upon it on the day of his repentance of his wickedness. In other words, the wicked man shouldn't think, what am I gonna repent? What am I gonna change my ways? It's always gonna be held against me what I did when I was in high school or what I did when I was 30. God says, no, that's not the case. And a righteous man cannot live with it on the day of his sinning.   And when I say of the wicked man, you shall surely die. And he repents of his sin and performs justice and righteousness. The wicked man will return the pledge. He will repay the theft in the statutes of life he walked, not to commit injustice. And so what happens?  Verse 16, which is the key over here. All his sins that he sinned will not be remembered for him. He performed justice and righteousness. He will surely live.  This is the message of Pesach Shani. It's never too late to try again. So long as we are alive, we have the merciful gift from God called repentance that allows you a second chance. And it is this that is the path to reconciliation with God. Thank you. Any questions? Absolutely. But you know what? Every night is a minimum keeper. And so we don't know what's gonna be tomorrow. And so the rabbis say that a person should always repent one day before they die. And since you never know when that's gonna be, we should always be repenting. We should always be returning to God. And we can return to God. And that's what's important. The notion that you need to have somebody else pay the price is something that is not Jewish at all. However, there is a concept of the suffering of the righteous and giving charity and all these other wonderful things which assist us in our return to God. But what it ultimately boils down to is our return to God and putting our trust in Him. Anybody who puts their trust in someone else will ultimately have to rely on that other person because they're not relying on God. And we rely on God. And when God tells us that this is the way, as ridiculous as it may sound to us, that us as puny little human beings, that it can actually make a difference, it does make a difference. Because God said so and that's what matters.

It's okay. I think the street below is safe as you hear the explosion in the distance. I don't think anyone noticed. You sure? Pretty sure. I got some respect points for that. You got none from me. Okay, here we go. My guy looks really sad to exist. He looks really, really depressed.  Oh my God. My guy looks like when fish first evolved instead of walking on land. He's really disturbing. Of course. I like how you just understand. Yeah, of course. Did you pick zombie voice as well? Yes, this is how it's going to be a disaster. Both of us are going to be screaming. How are you going to fly a plane? It's like I'll figure it out, I'll learn on the fly. You get it because we're on a plane? I get it, Dan. Can you see what I did there, Kevin? Yeah, I'd like and subscribe.   Jesus Christ. Come fly with me. Oh God, I flew. Jesus Christ, what was that? We need to kill all these people. I need to get down on ground level and urgently play dress-up. Yeah, we need clothes. I hope the parachute can support you.  Just dense. Just smash straight into the ground to make a massive crater. All right, let's go. Skydiving, can I see you here? I hope I can't see you. Oh, here we go.  How's it going? We're just starting our relationship, but he's warm and nice. I'm happy for you. We broke up. Hope you guys don't have a fallen out. I'd like an unsubscribe. What's the bad guy always like European or something? We're just bastards. Nice close up there. I can see into the whites of my eyes. Do you even have eyes? It's kind of like empty holes. All right, okay. Are you the driver? Yeah, I know how to drive, don't I? Okay, I trust you. There's a hot dog man on our windshield. It's fine. Yeah, we're European. This is how we drive in Europe. I'll meet you there. No, come on. I'll help you fight them. I'll fight who? They're pedestrians. All right, look, let's try a different plan. This is kind of wild, but let's try me driving. All right, off to get some guns. Let's go. Oh, you're accidentally shooting me there. I spotted a clothing store. I'm ready. I like how we had to come to a clothing store to get undressed. Why is our friend taking a hostage? That poor old man, what the shit's going on? Naked and proud. Let's go. Oh, God, you look like a version of like George Washington, but you're supposed to be made of plastic. And I melted, I guess. Okay, let's get out. Remember where we parked. Wait, what's the objective? I'll just kill them, okay. It's the one thing we can do right. Who's laughing now, mom? Unfortunately for comedy channels, no one. Your naked body keeps walking in the way of my bullets, Kevin. I think you're just trying to look at it. You just choose to look elsewhere. Where else do I look? Just thank God it's automatically censored, or this would be one hell of an edit. Hey, Kevin, can you come pick me up?  Sorry there, lads. My friend is falling over and he can't get up. What happens if I start firing on where we are? You'll probably kill us, even though we're inside, so we should be okay. I got you. I did it! How it didn't kill us? I don't know. Alright, let's get out of here. Get in Pierce's trapper. Oh God, that's cold. Maybe we should have wore clothes. My guy is too big so I can hardly see. As you said that, I was just looking down and you can just see my guy's crotch pixelated. Why do you still have shoes? You're not completely naked. I'm not a monster now. I might think I am. They're looking at me. You're my sleep paralysis demon. Imagine being your own sleep paralysis demon. It's a cheats tab. Yeah, I want to look at it too. Vehicles infinite mass and smashes out of vehicles out of the way. I like the sound of that. You actually need cheat codes for the rest of them. Yeah, I suppose they'll probably unlock normally as well. You want to check game facts real quick? We could call one of those hotlines. They give cheats. We have infinite mass on our car now which means if we hit anything, we should just go through it. Okay, let me give it a go. Oh my God. Oh, that's crazy. Get the cement mixer. Oh, it is damaging our car a lot though. But sure, what harm? Alright, that harm. Peaceful classic music. Alright, I got to be more careful because even though we have infinite mass we do not have infinite health. I feel like the car is just like disintegrating the further we go. Yeah, I don't think having like a 700 pound golden man in the front is doing any favors either. The car is not the only thing with infinite mass. Yes, I found it. Okay. Maybe I can just start it without you. Oh yeah, start it. Okay, this is insurance fraud. I've experienced this in real life. I mean, I don't. We're in the middle of some good traffic here now. We want to jump into the vehicles and just do a nice little streak, you know? Well, we're already streaking because we're naked but like a streak of insurance fraud is what I'm trying to say. Oh my God. I don't think it's insurance fraud. I think like I'm actually getting killed here. No, no, no, you're fine. Oh, truck's going. Yes. That's what you like to see. Oh, yes, there we go. 18,000, 23,000, 24. Yes. Well done. With that, I think we can get a nice car of our own. Then we can hit people. I don't really know the city. How long you've been driving limos? Jesus Christ. It's a shortcut, okay? Yeah, it sure looks like it. Shave a few seconds off. And you shave some of the car off, too. There's less weight to carry. Ah, you're so smart. I think you need a bit of weight shaved off, though. The golden god up front there. I'd melt you down and sell you to one of those telemarketing things. You know, cash for gold. You were missing a wheel. It's just grinding on the floor. It's terrible. Your Uber has arrived. Hop in. All right, hop in. I don't know the controls, by the way. This is weird controls. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. No, everything's fine, Dan. Honestly, this is like, I'm praying in general. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We'll get a nice preview of activities we can do. So we're going to fly over here and see what comes up. It's very shaky. No, turbulence, Dan. It's fine. It's normal. This happens on our plane. Have you ever flown before? Kevin, the ground's getting real close. Is it? Oh, why didn't you warn me? I survived. She's going to hold you close. My arm's around your waist. For warmth again, right? For warmth. We're doing streaking now. So you've got to shock the civilians. Sir, can I just talk to you for a moment? I'm here to spread the word of the Lord. He's running around naked. The apocalypse is coming. Oh, I can use the drone. Oh, can you? It's a direct hit, sir. Wait, start tank mayhem. Yeah, that's the one we want to start. Sir, that's your busy. Yeah, I'm dancing. Oh, yes. Now this is chaos. I like this. I mean, we'll probably die, too. We'll get caught in the crossfire, but that's okay. I'm okay with that as long as we take a lot of them with us.  Wow, Dan, that's really nice of you to say. Wow, that was easy. It turns out causing chaos is one of our strong points. All right, tattoos. Here we are. Oh, the police wants a tattoo, too. Yeah, it's mad. Aw, looking at a little crown. I got a crown on me. I can barely see it. It's like the gold surface of my skin is slightly scratched. Don't worry. I'm going to get enough tattoos for the both of us. I just said to treat me like a coloring book. I want one of everything. Okay, hop back in the car, Kevin. No, thanks. I can just open fire on your car while I drive. Or you could not do that as well. It's weird how that's an option to not do that. How did it say you get rid of your notoriety? You have to hide in the safe house. Okay, there goes my car. Let's get inside. Hang on. I'm going to get in the car. I just realized I have a bikini tan line as well, which is worrying if this is me tan. I thought this was me. Just my skin color. How do I use this? Hold on. There you go. Oh, it's a man cannon. So you can just eat people. I'm trying anyway. Hold on. Let me collect her. There we go. And then we just launch her. She's free. Isn't that cute? She's free. Isn't that cute? Alright. Welcome to Pimp My Red. Check out my ride. Oh, it's lovely. It's like fiery pink. It's got like tire poppers on the sides. Oh, look at all those people coming out to see my car.  So I'm like, it's attacking your car right now and there's nothing you can do about it. But this is your car though, Kevin. Oh, f**k.  Like I've done anything. And then we just launch her. Oh, I'm having a blast. I'm showing everyone my new tattoos. I'm trying to open the door at my crotch. But it's not working. Did we cause this much destruction on the road? All I did was streak. It kind of escalated, I guess. AC 130 above. Oh my god. What are these cars doing? Why is he turning around on the highway? That guy doesn't know where he wants to go. Maybe he's European too. Alright, who knows what this is? I may have died when we entered the mission. That's fine. Oh my god. What on earth is this? That's like the slogan for our channels. Yeah. Time for a rebrand. Here we go. Right through the fire and the flames as the song goes. Oh, a present. What'd you get? Watch the fire. It goes right and left.  The last present got exploded and you nearly killed me. This one might be better. This looks scary. Are you sure? Are you sure? Oh my god, this is getting hard. Oh, we did it. Oh my god. Fantastic. That one was hard. Oh, we got a lot of money for that too. That's what I like to see. I can improve my taxi now. That's what it's all about. From the game show you're like, I just want to go home and spend some money on my taxi business. It's going to have karaoke in the back, fairy lights, everything. You got to mash C. And then you'll do your celebration. What's yours? Oh wow. Look at them go. Very different types of dance. Uh oh, I didn't realize there's still someone in that car. I'll see you later.  Alright, I think that is a great place to leave off. So we're going to end it there. I hope you enjoyed. Thank you again for the sponsor Epic Games. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed because it supports the channel a lot. And I just appreciate you watching. But yeah, I guess there's not much else to say. So thanks again for watching and I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.


So, Janine, once somebody approaches you and asks you, Janine, could you give me one tip for becoming a better designer? What would your most valuable tip be? You know, I think the people that have worked hard at getting experience with the various tools and methods and just the whole process of service design, you know, that's great because they become, over time, of doing a lot of tactical things, they get to be strategists. And I think people really want to be strategists over the course of their, over their career. They want to be able to advise, see around corners, understand end-to-end process and so forth. And I think the best way to do that in this world is certainly not to read about it, but certainly just to do it. Go out and do it. Was this a helpful tip?

Look at Saifudinov, coming on strong in second place, another standing speedway race here. Kolodzay enjoying his...  Oh, he's going to challenge Dunio. Saifudinov's furious about his bike. It's Yannis Kornsey from Patrick the 1-2. Wow, but you've got to feel for Emils Saifudinov. Backpacking up late in the semifinal when he's ridden so well to get through the second place. Oh, I do feel for him. He was in the final last year, won't be this year. Dudek is the beneficiary there. He was heading for the final until his bike packed up. A Russia Speedway of Nations champion off the outside and Robert Lambert's packed up. Robert Lambert is packed up and there's only 20 seconds remaining. Desperate. And it looks like it's going to be a hard take in his opening ride. Can you believe it? We could have had two British winners in the first two races. It's not going to be... That really is a desperate moment for the young Robert Lambert who really has been in sparkling form coming into tonight. Just running out of time. You've got to feel for Robert Lambert. That is a desperate, desperate moment for him. The lead here is with Matse Yannowski. Here comes Emilsson round the outside. No! No! Slams the door, shot there, Yannoski. Saifudinov, then pounces and Emilsson's come down again and blows it. He was in a really good position. Well, he's up off the track. The race will continue. Oh, just pirouettes around underneath him. He will be so frustrated. He had every chance there. Punch it again. My goodness me. He's just jumped the start. Somebody's going to go here. Normally when the red light comes on, he's going to... Oh, Matse's gone. Yeah, it's gone. Again? He's doing it all night. Three riders. Really, here we go. Oh, well. He's just blown it. Remarkable. He knows it straight away. You watch his helmet. You watch his head. He knows it straight away. You watch what he does now. He took some tapes as well for good measure. He knows it. He knows it. It's all over. And he had a good chance to win tonight, Jason. And now we... Well, this is just totally remarkable. The fact that he's just blown his own chances here. Wow. I can't remember a night like this.


HMAS Canberra is participating in exercise RIMPAC as part of the amphibious task group. What we're able to do is form a coalition of amphibious ships made up of several nations. I think the thing that I'm looking forward to the most about RIMPAC is operating with the US Marine Corps B-22s. I'm really looking forward to looking at their capability for moving troops ashore. I'm the senior health officer in charge of the hospital on board HMAS Canberra. It's really important to work with coalition partners so we understand how each other operates and this is a great opportunity to exercise that and to understand what our little differences are with interoperability. What RIMPAC provides is an opportunity for us to continue to develop the interoperability of all the participating nations. Working with like-minded countries ensures that we continue to learn how to work together more appropriately in the future.


Good day everybody. Welcome back. Glad you were here to join me in my journey today elk hunting All day in the mountains So Sun's just starting to come up right now and we're gonna make ourselves a little breakfast get fueled up We're gonna burn a ton of calories today. We're gonna pack light Try to pack light. We're going into the wild beyond So I saw elk yesterday Just above my camp here All the way up top and then a little bit over and I'm gonna explore over this mountain and a little bit over as well today I'm gonna make a big loop Around and see if I can run into them yesterday. I didn't hunt in the afternoon. So I'm interested to see how the elk activity is in the afternoon about eight to Ten thirty they seem to be moving pretty good. And then I think they laid up midday I saw one mountain range where they were really trucking up there and it was high I'm gonna attempt to stay up there all day as long as I can stand it. Let's make ourselves a good hearty breakfast and Let's explore nature and let's go get an elk with a bow We've started our ascent You know, we are not even close. We're like an eighth of the way and where we're gonna be into Starting to see sign and then we're gonna explore even deeper In a couple of areas that I've looked at on the map. They look like open grazing areas so I'm gonna sit on those really watch those but Look at that, y'all A lot of this trekking up here is just like walking over big trees I've got a really nice path right now to go up. It's not too bad. So it's a good morning. Good exercise Let's go find them though in the distance. So There's some more elk I'm not sure what happened with that that last cow. She had at least one spike following her I ran over and got a position. I felt so confident. I broke out the big camera And I was at least gonna get you know some footage Just kind of see what they do. I thought they would come into this low-lying area down here in feed She was just getting pushed by that by that spike and He pushed her you pushed her down out of range. Oh, if I should chase them. I've tried chasing them multiple occasions did it this morning Got busted In fact, that could have been the same elk Because I spooked a spike when I first got up there and then there was a cow and something else I couldn't really couldn't tell It looks like that same small group, but the thermals have kicked in now The thermal winds like basically what happens is the cold air cold air sinks so in the mornings the the winds pushed down and When the air heats up It starts to start to rise so it's just pushing up the mountain right now So it's coming into my face as I'm looking down So that's good if I want to just stay high and look down You just want to get a visual my position here. I think I'm definitely gonna come hunt here this evening Because I know you guys can't see anything, but this is like this is actually a pretty clear view considering There's like a little shelf down there, and that's that that elevation that they like There's a lot of stuff growing. I'm just above it and behind me. I've got Well just above that knoll there. There's like heavy heavy Rocks up there. So I think I'm gonna hike back up that way and Look at the wall or for a minute and just keep pushing Until I see a herd. I don't know. I feel like the way to kill them is just sit there Because all the dry broken sticks, I mean they just hear you and they take off Even if you have the wind right It's either that or just call one in and I'm not good at calling and they're not really responsive right now So I think I can get it done I've still got a couple more days, but I'm gonna hunt very hard today Continuing the game plan Burn some calories eat some food. Let's go find some more elk. I'm about as high as I'm gonna go right now I think I'm gonna go back to the direction where I spooked those elk. I sat at the all-out the altitude Set at the wall over Probably 10 20 minutes and just I don't know. I'll probably sit there this evening But for right now, I'm gonna kind of stay at this elevation and walk right there Sitting here talking to the camera, and I'm up high which is good. I'm gonna work my way background They might get end up going to the wall or So thick down there. I can't see anything. I think I'm up just too high Way up here Lightheaded this is high y'all look at it Snow on the mountains over there look behind me There's not much left to go Well folks Trying my darndest out here to get an elk But I'm going back and forth on this ridge Looking down found really fresh scat really fresh prints And if I just go in there deep they're gonna bust me So I need to wait for them to start moving again. I'm really exhausted. I mean this is this is part of elk hunting right here but No stranger to it after my New Zealand hunt. I feel like I can handle any any kind of hunt in North America really but We got to get ourselves some food I'm drained. I have a headache Which means I'm probably dehydrated as well I already drank a bottle of water and this is a leader that I have left But I've also been drinking this is from the creek water that I filtered And I'm gonna use some of that to cook up the old mountain house Today we got oh, we got a little beef strobe enough a little hot meal up here every day about this time The weather has changed as well like it gets cloudy and There's some little bit of rain that comes in So these old mountain houses Pretty convenient little deal And I'm not bad Not the worst thing I've ever had Make sure you take your little Little drying agent out and what we need to do is heat up some water and put it in there So this is a little portable propane tank, and then I've got this little kit right here Which allows me to set up a burner off of the Off the thing they make ones that go right on top of here, but I Chose to get this one because I can I don't know I can move around a little bit more see here Hope this baby fires up. I haven't used it since New Zealand That's on a little splurge there. Yeah, it's really cold when it comes out Geez Sorry about that. I got this tiny little tripod Trying to make it work. Okay She starts. This is my little cooking kit that I carry and it's got all those 10 top of my bag for our water in our titanium cup Gotta make sure the ground is flat Burn my fingers even stopping and cooking is a lot of work up here Boiling hot water has been applied to the mountain house beef stroganoff meal And now we just got to wait like 10 minutes look at these happy folks right here just enjoying the mountains You know they don't look like mosquitoes are binding them flies are buzzing around their heads They're just enjoying the mountain ass the mountain house That they've built. I don't know they do look happy though. One of the things that catches you off guard up here is the amount of flies They're everywhere. So I've got my bags in here somewhere but basically I have these these sacks that prevent the meat from spoiling and prevents the flies from landing on it and laying eggs as soon as I Get an animal on the ground. I'll have to Start cutting it up put it in bags and then hang it up and just keep coming back like Y'all If I do get one up here It's gonna take me at least a whole day Just to get all the meat down like I really need to get one today or tomorrow And that way I'll have an entire Day to really process the meat and get it out of here. It's fine at night It's basically freezing temperatures, but you know during the day It's okay as long as the flies don't land on it and lay eggs and the flies go totally away at night I would stay a little bit longer. I've got to get back in a few days. I have a doctor's appointment 100% need to go Just sitting up here in the altitude having a headache right now. It just reminds me. I still have a brain tumor growing in my Head. I'm just rambling now.  I spotted like a pond on the map I might go check out see if there's any elk activity midday do some calling over there. It's like two miles away Other than that, thanks for being here. You're my only form of like Contact right now with any other human beings Besides my GPS I guess I could text on that But Yeah, straight up here alone in the woods With the elk. I mean who doesn't just love to see big bird of prey Screaming over the mountains why they eat their mountain house. I enjoy that if I can only tap the Rockies With some silver bullets right now or at least to end the day Let's say my Rocky Mountain experience would be fulfilled complete Besides the elk Let's be serious That's why we're up here killing ourselves All right flies get away from my stroge ease That's a game changer.  Okay. We need these noodles and dehydrated beef And we're gonna keep trekking where to I don't know in search of elk Day two, let's keep going You saw those there was a dough that busted me and That fawn that I saw was a mule deer fawn This big buck is he's a gigantic ant or feeding away. I can't shoot him Unfortunately, he's way too far anyways, but I'd love to make a stalk on him.  Hi, it's playing with my head. Mm-hmm. I Really want to get down from this height Well, it ain't ever but it's definitely the Rocky Please don't pay any crevasses
