Okay, yeah, I guess it's ready to go. Good to go. Okay, welcome once again. So as I was saying, online students, you can download the notes from the class through classwork section, so under resources where we will be posting all the resources related to this course, the Holy Spirit. So if you have the notes, you can open it up and let's, we'll go through the course overview and what we're going to be looking at, how the grading works and so on, right? Okay, now before we start, let's look at one verse and then we'll pray. Okay, I'm just going to look at Proverbs chapter 10. Okay, Proverbs chapter 10 and verse 9. He who walks with integrity. Okay, Proverbs chapter 10 verse 9, everyone. Okay, so it says, he who walks with integrity walks securely. I just want to look at just that first part of that verse. Okay, second part says, but he who perverts his ways will become known. Okay, who he who corrupts his ways will become known no matter how the person tries to hide it, it will invariably, you know, it will come up, it will be known. Okay, first part says, he who walks with integrity walks securely. Okay, so what does that mean? That means that if I walk with truth in my heart, if I'm walking with integrity in my heart, then I'm going to be walking securely with confidence, with no sense of insecurity, no sense of fear, right? I'm going to be walking, we are going to be walking with confidence because you know that you're doing the right thing, right? That is what integrity is. Doing the right thing, being truthful to oneself. So he who walks with integrity walks securely. Maybe that is a key for some of us to really walk with confidence, to really walk without any kind of anxiety or any kind of fear, right? Fear of people, fear of, am I doing the right thing, right? How will this be received? When you know that you're doing the right thing, when you know that according to the Word of God that you are walking with integrity, that your actions are with integrity, that means that we will be able to walk securely, right? So why don't we just pray even as we come with this class, come at this course and come at ourselves, into God's hands, you know. With this thought, Lord, I want to walk with integrity. So you can tell the Lord, Lord, I want to walk with confidence, I want to walk with honesty, I want to walk securely. Walking means living, right? Our lifestyle, the way we live our lives, the way we conduct our lives and the requirement is that we walk with integrity. So let's tell the Lord, Lord, I want to walk with integrity. In other words, we're saying, Lord, I want to be led by your spirit because your way is truth. You are truth. Father God, this morning, Lord, each one of us, God, we come before you and even as we look into your Word, Lord, we see that as we walk with integrity, we will walk securely, we will walk with confidence, we will walk with boldness. And as your Word declares, the righteous are as bold as a lion. I pray for each one of us, God, that we would walk with that security. Lord, let all insecurity, let all fear and anxiety be removed, dismantled from our lives, Lord. Father God, even as we look to you, even as we make a choice, make a decision to walk with integrity, being truthful to our own selves, not deceiving our own selves, God, and walking according to your Word. Yes, Master, we thank you and we commit ourselves into your mighty hands. We commit this course, Lord. We commit ourselves, Lord, as we pursue this course, the Holy Spirit. Lord, we pray that you would greatly, Lord, enhance our understanding, expand our understanding. Lord, we pray that you would meet with us. Lord, we pray that each one of us will have an encounter in the Holy Ghost. And Lord, we pray, oh God, that encounter will mark us for life, Lord. Will change us from the inside out, oh God. And I just pray, God, that everything that we are learning, God, that we'll be able to apply, God, and action it and apply it in our lives.  In Jesus Master's name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, so we have a lot of new faces, of course. So we want to welcome all of you and here also. So we'll get to know one another as we go along. Okay, so if you open your, the post material, so we see that we are looking at this course which is about the Holy Spirit. So if you see, you know, it's called the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Okay, does everyone have? No? Okay, you can share it for today. Maybe next class after the break, you can take it. Okay, right. So we're going to look at the person of the Holy Spirit, the work of the Holy Spirit. And if you look at the contents, we're going to start with the Trinity, right? Because the Bible just declares that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So we're going to understand a little bit about Trinity and we're going to look at, you know, how the Holy Spirit is a person and then we're going to look at the work of the Holy Spirit or what the Holy Spirit did in the Old Testament, right? And then are we going to look at the New Testament and what he did in the New Testament and particularly we're going to look at the Book of Acts. And then we're going to move on to the work of the Holy Spirit in church history, the work of the Holy Spirit in one who is a sinner, what does the Holy Spirit do? And we're going to look at how the Holy Spirit works in a believer's life. So we understand, okay, this is what the Holy Spirit does and this is what he does in me, right? So this is how I can actually receive his help to live how I need to live as a believer and so on. And then we're going to move on to baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit. And it's again a very interesting section because we're going to look at each of these gifts in detail. What are these gifts? Why are they given? And is it for me? Are these gifts for me? And all these. And then finally we're going to close with the names of the Holy Spirit and symbols of the Holy Spirit. How are we going to grade or assess this particular course? We're going to have two sections or two quizzes each carrying 50% marks. And this is applicable for online students and e-learning as well and also for in person, right? We're going to have two quizzes in this semester. Okay, some more resources. We'll continue to upload it in the days to come. Books by Pastor Ashish and other resources. We'll upload it in the resource section. Okay, and you will, in person class, you will receive the books. Okay, okay. So let's look at, let's go on to this first chapter on Trinity. Okay, so who can tell me where in the Bible do we find the word Trinity? Is it the Old Testament or is it the New Testament? Okay, it is not mentioned in the Bible. Okay, how many of you are saying Old Testament? Okay, I'm having a show of hands here. Pastor, it is not mentioned in the Bible. Sorry, Gertrude, one second. I'm not able to hear you. Can you speak up a little louder please? It is not mentioned in the Bible anyway. Okay. Okay, so Gertrude says it's not mentioned in the Bible. How many of you are saying yes, it's not mentioned or no, it's not mentioned. Okay, I see two hands here. So that's, that's very true, right? So the word Trinity itself is, is not found in the Bible. Okay, the word Trinity, it's, it's what Bibles call us, call it as a theological construct. I mean, you don't have to worry about that. But it's just a word which is used to define or describe something which is in the Bible. Okay, so word Trinity is not in the Bible at all. But do we see pictures or the description of the Trinity in the Bible? Yes or no? Yes, right? So let's, yeah, so let's look at a few, few verses here. We're going to, you know, keep going and if you have your Bibles, just keep it open. We're going to look at several scriptures that actually point to the fact that God is a triune God. Okay, so in systematic theology you'll be learning more about, you know, the Trinity and in-depth in detail. But here today we're going to, we're going to just have an overview of the fact that the Bible declares God to be a triune God. So what does that mean? Does that mean that God, we are actually worshiping three gods? No, it just means that God exists in three persons but he's one God. Okay, so that is, that is what we see here and the Bible just assumes or Bible just declares this is who God is. Okay, just like how we see in Genesis where we see the Bible doesn't go on to explain, you know, many centuries ago or thousands of years ago there was this, you know, being supernatural being called God and, you know, this is, he always, you know, it doesn't go into all details. The Bible just starts by saying in the beginning God, in the beginning God, that's how it starts, right? So it just declares with a bang saying in the beginning God who was, who is, who is to come, you know, who will be, right? Just proclaims God. In the same way we see that there is a proclamation of Trinity, right? I'm sorry, just a minute. Okay, yeah, so there's a proclamation. Okay, let's look at, you know, Genesis chapter one. Okay, in your Bibles you can turn to Genesis chapter one and verses one to verses two to three, right? But actually let's read from verse one. Okay, says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Verse three, then God said, let there be light and there was light. Okay, so this is how the Bible just opens and it's just boldly, very boldly and, you know, very majestically declares. In the beginning God created and then it goes on to say the earth was without form and void darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters. So talks about God, talks about the spirit of God and verse three, then God said, let there be light and there was light. So we see God being mentioned, Father, we see the Holy Spirit being mentioned, the spirit of God was hovering over the waters, right? So we see this. Okay, let's look at, you know, a parallel when we turn to Hebrews chapter one. Okay, let's turn to Hebrews chapter one and let's look at verse two. Okay, God, let's look at verse one and two. Okay, God who at various times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets has in these last days spoken to us by his son whom he had appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the worlds. Okay, do we see that? Right, Hebrews chapter one verse two, talking about the son, talking about Jesus who has, who he has appointed to create or through whom he made the worlds. Okay, so Genesis chapter one, the spirit of God was hovering over the waters and God said, God spoke, let there be and there was and Hebrews here testifies to that and it says that it's talking about the son who was who through whom everything was made, everything was created. Right, so we see the son being mentioned, we see the God father being mentioned, we see the Holy Spirit right at the beginning, right at the creation, we see that. Okay, let's look at two other verses. Okay, Ephesians chapter three and verse nine. Okay, Ephesians three and verse nine. Okay, maybe eight and nine. To me who am less than the least of all the saints this grace was given that I should reach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ. Okay, so this verse talks about the pre-existence or the eternal existence of the Son. Right, because sometimes people just say, okay, Jesus came into the world at this appointed time and they they think that, okay, that is the beginning. But we see in scriptures the pre-existence of the Lord Jesus who at the beginning was there and through whom all things were created. We see in Hebrews, we see in Ephesians, so which means that the early church understood this. Right, Paul is writing to the Ephesian church and this is what was taught and this is how they understood it and even right through even from Genesis that the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, they existed, the Trinity being mentioned right there at creation. Okay, then let's look at the birth of the Lord Jesus. The birth of the Lord Jesus. Luke chapter 1 verses 32 to 35 and you can just follow in the notes whether you can just you can open the notes. It's there. Yeah, Shani, you have a question. Yeah, I just wanted to clear. Was that Ephesians 3 9? Just one second. Just one second. I'm just going to, can you just turn this speaker please, this side so I can hear. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, that's fine. You can hear through this. Not clear. It's a little low, is it? Okay. Yeah, Shani, if you don't mind, if you can also, if you can put it on the chat, that'll be helpful because here it's kind of there's a resonance. Yeah. Okay, Anusha has a question. Where are the notes? Notes are in the class work section and you can go to resources and it's uploaded there. Can you see that? Okay, Ephesians 3 and verse 9. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Ephesians chapter 3 and verse 9, verses 8 and 9. If you read that. Okay, got that. Okay. Okay, so let's look at, you know, the birth of the Lord Jesus, Luke chapter 1, 32 to 35. Okay, so here also we see that the picture of Trinity. Now, why are we looking at all this? Why are we looking at all these scriptures and why do you want to establish that this fact that God exists in three persons as Father, Son and Holy Spirit because our cause is about the third person of the Trinity, about the Holy Spirit and it's important that we understand this. Okay, because there could be certain, you know, certain schools of thought or, you know, people saying that, okay, it's only about Yahweh, right? Or people could be saying it's only about Jesus, Jesus only, right? Or, I don't know, people could also be talking about it and it's only the Holy Spirit and I think that's, that's, that could be a very small, you know, minority. But then the fact is that God, right through scripture, the scriptural understanding of God is that God is a triune being, right? That he exists in three persons. Okay, so we can explain Trinity, we can go to, you know, a great extent, we can simplify it and we can say things like, you know, it is like how we look at water, okay, water you heat it, it becomes steam and water you freeze it, it becomes ice and so on, you know, all these simplistic explanations to explain about Trinity, but it still falls short of full understanding because it's a mystery, right?  For example, we can be in one place at one time, yeah? Time, space, we are finite and if you're here in Bangalore, you cannot be in Chennai physically or in Mumbai, physically. But when we, when we look at the nature of God, we see that he is omnipresent, right? When we see, especially when we look through the Bible, we see that he's here and he's talking to another person at the same time, especially in the book of Acts, you know, we looked at Ananias and, you know, so we see that God is omnipresent, which means he's present everywhere, yeah? At the same time, that itself is a mystery, right? For us, so also Trinity, the fact that God is a triune God, we see these verses, we see that, yes, it is mentioned in the Bible. In creation at the birth, when he's talking about the birth of the Lord or the coming of the Lord, it talks about God being so distant as far, so distinct as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, okay? So let's look at this verse. So look chapter 1, verse 32, right? The angels said to Mary, these are the words of the angel and it's announcing, the angel meets with Mary and announces to Mary what is going to happen, okay? So it's talking about the Lord. Verse 32, He will be great and will be called the Son of the highest, okay? Who will be great? Jesus, right? It's talking about the Lord Jesus saying He will be great and He will be called the Son of the highest and the Lord God will give him the throne of his Father David and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of this kingdom there will be no end, meaning it's something which is eternal. Every kingdom or every reign of every king comes to an end, right? But here says that of his kingdom there will be no end and then Mary says to the angel, Mary said to the angel, how can this be? Since I do not know a man and the angel answered and said to her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you. Therefore also the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God, okay? So how many persons are mentioned here, right? How many do we see? Three, right? Says the Holy Spirit will come upon you, so Holy Spirit is mentioned and then the power of the highest, again in the verses preceding that, it's talking about the power of the Son of the highest. He shall be called the Son of the highest, like talking about God, Father. Then says and the power of the highest will overshadow you and that which is born, the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God, so is referring to the Son. So we see we cannot actually negate or leave out any one person of the Trinity, right? Just because, hey, I don't understand this, you know, how can one plus one plus one be one, right? One plus one plus one is three, right? So that's you know, regular, usual mathematics, so just because we don't understand that if I leave one out, right? If I say, okay, I don't understand this, I'm just going to leave this out of my framework, of my, you know, scriptural understanding, then we'll be in great problem because one, the Bible is full of that, Bible is full of references to each of the persons of Trinity and we see these scriptures over and over again where the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is mentioned, okay? So we see that the Father's mentioned the Son and the Holy Spirit, okay? Another place, okay, we are moving on. Another place where we see very clearly the Trinity being mentioned is in the baptism, the baptism of the Lord Jesus, okay? Matthew chapter 3, Matthew chapter 3 and the Lord is meeting John the Baptist and John the Baptist announces or introduces the Lord to everyone saying, he's not worthy to even, you know, carry the sandals and all that and then the Lord Jesus comes on the same and says, you know, I need to be baptized by you. So this is what happened, okay? So we're looking at verse 16, okay? So the Lord is baptized, he comes out of the water. It says, when he had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water and behold, the heavens were open to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him, okay? So the Son is coming out of the water, Jesus, the Son who's baptized is coming out of the water and it says here that the heavens were open and the Spirit of God descended upon him. So we see the Son and we see the Holy Spirit being mentioned here. Next verse, verse 17 and suddenly a voice came from heaven saying, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. So another amazing picture of the Trinity, right? The Son coming out of the water. It must have been amazing to be there at that time to watch this, the outworking or the, you know, the presence of the Trinity. The Son coming out of the water, the Spirit of God descending upon the Son and a voice from heaven, the voice of the Father, obviously it's the voice of the Father because the voice declares, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. So God the Father declaring and affirming that Jesus is his beloved Son in whom he is well pleased and the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit descending upon the Son. Again we see the picture of Trinity. So there should be no doubt in our minds, you know, is God triune? Yes, right? There's several references. Maybe we didn't, you know, go through all these references but when we look at scripture, we see that there are these references and even more. Okay, then we move on to Matthew 28, Matthew chapter 28 and the commission, the commissioning, the Lord Jesus gives this instruction to the disciples and it was 19 and he says, Matthew 28 and verse 19, go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Now that's a very important statement. Why? Because the Son here is declaring, he's giving the commission, what we call as the Great Commission, right? He's commanding the disciples. This is what you need to go, go to all the nations, you need to make disciples of all the nations, teaching them to observe all the commandments and he's saying you baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. So several things that we learn here, right? One is the Lord Jesus is putting the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit on the same level, same plane, right? It's baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. So which means that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are co-equal on the same level.  Sorry. Yes, there are several verses which talk about the difference in roles. We'll come to that a little later. But this is what we see and he's saying, when you baptize, you baptize in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, right? So in Jesus' mind there was no difference. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, God, Trinity, triune God, okay? And we see this again in the picture of Trinity, okay? Then let's look at Hebrews chapter 9, okay? Hebrews 9 and verse 14. We have seen about four so far, okay? Hebrews chapter 9 and verse 14, okay? What does it say? It says, okay, let's just read from verse 11 onwards, okay? Hebrews 9 verse 11. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come with the greater and the more perfect and the more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood he entered the most holy place once for all having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God, okay? We are looking at verse 14. Let's read that again. How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Do we see the Trinity there, right? We see, right? How the Son offered himself through the eternal spirit meaning through the work of the eternal spirit and it talks about how he offered himself without spot which means without any blemish, without any sin, without any limitation, right? How he offered himself to God and this whole act of redemption cleanses us, cleanses our conscience to serve the living God. Okay, so here also we see the Son being mentioned, the Holy Spirit who enabled the Son to offer himself as a living sacrifice to the Father. Okay, so in redemption so we see that every, what shall we say, you know, every milestone if you want to call it that or every, you know, every crossroad, every significant moment through the timeline of scripture, we see the Trinity. We see God as being described, we see the functioning, the working of God as a trying being. Okay, so in redemption the Trinity is again revealed. What about the resurrection? Okay, Romans chapter 6 verse 4, therefore we were buried within, Romans chapter 6 and verse 4, therefore we were buried within through baptism into death that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father even so we should walk in the newness of the Father and the Son. Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father. Okay, and we read in the previous verse that through the eternal spirit he offered himself. Okay, another verse, Romans chapter 8 and verse 11, but if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead would also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you. Okay, let's read that again. If the Spirit of him, Spirit of who? Jesus or who raised Jesus from the dead, so who's he referring to? If you read that verse, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead, yeah referring to the Father, right? If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead, so the Spirit of the Father who raised Jesus from the dead, so you see the Holy Spirit, see the God, the Father being mentioned there, you see the the Lord, the Son, the Jesus being mentioned here, right? So if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit.  Okay, so in the resurrection of the Lord again, very significant moment in history, a very significant moment for entire humanity, right? It is because of the death burial and resurrection that our lives are changed, our destinies are changed. So very significant moment we see the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit working together or designing and you know orchestrating this whole thing so that we could have life. The Spirit of him who gives life to our mortal bodies, okay? Okay, and we, you know, like this, we can go on, there are several other places, when we come to the book of Acts, Acts chapter 7 and yeah, yeah, Shani. Can you do Romans 6-4 again, please? I'm sorry, your voice is a little, I think putting it on the chat would help, Shani, if you don't mind. Yeah, if you put it on the chat, that'll help, please. I think from some folks it's a little clear, but from some it's not clear, something's in. Okay, can you go over Romans 6 verse 4 again, sure. Okay, let's look at Romans 6 and verse 4. Okay, so Romans 6, so therefore, therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should also walk in the newness of life.  And it here, this particular verse refers to the Lord Jesus being mentioned here and also the Father. So it says that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should also walk in the newness of life. So the reason we looked at the verse is we see Christ being mentioned, we see the Father being mentioned in the work of resurrection. And then we looked at Romans 8 and 11, which talks about the, yeah, which talks about, yes, the next verse being Romans chapter 8 and verse 11, where we see that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit being mentioned in the work of resurrection. Okay, hope that helps. Right, okay, okay. Fine, so we're looking at Acts chapter 7, right? Acts chapter 7 and, you know, very exciting times at the same time, very tumultuous time in the New Testament. We see that, you know, the New Testament church being born and people coming to know and being added to the church and so on. And we see here, Stephen being mentioned and Stephen is mentioned as someone who's full of the Holy Spirit and he's mentioned with others, right? And there were seven who were chosen, people of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, wisdom and so on. That's all chapter 6 and verse 5 describes these people who were chosen to take care of the administrative work in the early church, right? So here in the martyrdom of Stephen, right, Stephen is brought before the people and just before he is actually martyred, okay, killed for being a witness for Christ, we see this.   Okay, so here we see the same thing with he being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God and said, look, I see the heavens open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. So he has this vision and he declass this and, you know, they're not able to tolerate that and then they they put him to death by stoning him to death. That is what we see.  I see the Lord Jesus. I see the Son standing next to the Father and heavens were open before, for him and he says, I see the heavens open. I see the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God and they rushed towards him and he was martyred there. Okay, so in the martyrdom of Stephen, we see the Trinity again being referred to. Okay, lastly, there are other scriptures but this is something, you know, you can go through that, John 5 17 and so on. But we look at Revelation 5 and it says, Revelation 5 and verse 6, and I looked and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as though it had been slain. Having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth and then he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. Okay, the lamb of God referring to the Son and it talks about the seven spirits of God, you know, referring to the seven characteristics of the Spirit of God. You know, we're going to be studying that again when we look at these characteristics being referenced in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 11 actually gives these characteristics. Isaiah 11, how the Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom and understanding and counsel and might and so on. So we will look at that when we study later. But we see that the Spirit is being mentioned. We see that the lamb of God is there in the heavens and then we see the one who sits on the throne, God the Father being referenced. Okay, Gertrude has a question, if God is loved then why violent death for the disciples? Well God is love and we know that well that the martyrdom was not orchestrated by God, right? It is because of the people who did not want to receive the message who were against the receiving the Savior and his and his love, right? So and that is the reason for martyrdom, people who gave their lives for the sake of the gospel and that continues to do that. Yeah, so is the Seven Spirits the Holy Spirit? Yes, it's the characteristics of the Holy Spirit, okay? And which we see in Isaiah chapter 11, if you go through Isaiah chapter 11, the first few verses talk about Spirit of Understanding, Spirit of Wisdom, Knowledge of the Lord, Fear of the Lord and so on about the Holy Spirit. Okay, right and I hope that helps Gertrude and also Shanee. Yes, Pastor. Yeah, okay. Okay, so yeah, with that we come to the end of this chapter, which is on the Trinity. So there are several other verses also, you know, 1 Peter 1 and verse 2, 1 and 2 John 14. So, you know, you can go through that, but the reason why we want to want to go through this whole thing is to for us to understand that there are specific scriptures which talk about the Trinity. And we need to know, we need to be sure of these scriptures because we don't want to miss out on any of the, you know, the ministry of the Father or the Son of the Holy Spirit. We don't want to leave that out of our lives. That is one thing and we need to understand that. Yes, this is a mystery for sure, just like the omnipotence of God or omniscience of God or omnipresence of God, but just because it is, it does not fit our finite understanding, we don't have, we should not leave that out. Okay, Stipchia very boldly, clearly declares right from Genesis 2, Revelation and all these significant moments, the picture or the description of Trinity or the presence of God being mentioned as Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Right? Okay, so let's remember that. Okay, so in Luke 32, 33, what does it mean when it says that the Lord God will give him the throne of his Father David and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. Yeah, so it's talking about the Father and how he will reign over, the throne of David, you know, the Lord came in the lineage of David, you know, earthly speaking through David's line and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. Right? The spiritual house, he will, he's going to reign forever and that term forever is that he's eternal, his rule and reign is going to be, his rule and reign is eternal. So that is what it refers to, Luke 32 and verse 33, when Luke 32 or just one second, please. Or do we look at Luke 2, right? Yeah, Luke chapter 1 and verse 32 to 33, right? That's the one. Okay, fine. Yeah, so yeah, so that's the, so that it was that it talks about natural lineage and it talks about how the Lord Jesus is actually from that lineage, the earthly lineage and the fact is that he rules over the house of Jacob that he is, you know, he's the sun is, he's the reigning one and its reign is not a, it's not for a time period but it's a eternal reign. Yeah? Okay, so we'll take a break and we'll come back in 10 minutes. Thank you.


With the click of a button, I can send my work to the entire world. It can feel empowering. I tap a screen and suddenly my ideas are reaching a larger audience. But what if that's not always ideal? True, audience matters, but so does solitude. There's power in disconnecting from the world and creating art for an audience of one. See when I'm publishing to an audience I'm thinking about how my work will be perceived. I want people to love what I made. So I'm sharpening my ideas, I'm reshaping my words, and at times I grow kind of risk averse. I start caring too much about what other people think, and it makes me less creative. But when I'm alone I can make mistakes, big mistakes, nobody knows, nobody cares, and this is why I journal. My journal is a forest filled with scribbles and sketches and wild ideas sprouting everywhere. I can go anywhere, I can dance and sing and yell, I can wander and wander, I can take a creative plunge into the unknown, because everything is an experiment. And that's the power of journaling, it's a secluded space of creativity.


Hey everyone today's recipe. We're making vegan lentil chili in our instant pot All right, what that means is we're gonna have a nice quick delicious meal in just a matter of minutes We do have to chop up some vegetables because there's a whole boatload of them in this But it is super delicious and definitely worth trying out. I'm rockin Robin And I'm gonna show you how to make it right after this So before we get into our recipe go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell And that way you'll be notified when my new videos come out every week We're putting out something healthy and delicious, and I don't want you to miss it So let's go over those ingredients first up. We'll need some red lentils I'm using red lentils in this recipe because they tend to break down in soups and stews And that just makes them nice and thick and hearty perfect for this recipe. We'll need some canned Kidney beans. I have some fire roasted diced tomatoes Fresh garlic. I have what's called here a mirepoix, which is carrots celery and onion I have and everything here by the way is pretty much organic I have some red chard here that I'm gonna chop up a red bell pepper Some butternut squash. Let's see. We have some vegetable stock here maple syrup That's just gonna sweeten it up just a touch and for our spices I have chili powder smoked paprika ground cumin and some oregano We'll also need a little bit of salt and some olive oil We're gonna cook everything in our instant pot Which makes everything really simple and easy to clean up, but at first I've got to cut up my bell pepper here So that we can get it in the pan We're gonna saute our onions bell peppers and our carrots and celery first and saute those for about five minutes but first we got to chop up our Bell peppers so that it is about the same size as the others All right now. We got that bell pepper ready. We are ready to start cooking You're gonna turn your instant pot to saute So let's do that. I'll set it for about five minutes Because that's all it needs to take okay So we're gonna add some olive oil to the bottom of the pan about a tablespoon and then we'll toss in our onions the celery the carrots and The bell peppers and then we'll just wait for that to get hot and we'll just saute that Until things soften up.  I'm just gonna roll them see how I did that and just rolling them up And then I just cut it and then I'll cut it the other direction so the pieces are small And that's that's good. That's ready to go So we're gonna put everything in the instant pot except for the kidney beans and the reason here goes the lentils The reason I'm not gonna put the lent the kidney beans in right away is because they're already soft and cooking and if I pressure cook them They're gonna get really mushy, so I don't want that here goes the tomatoes Fire roasted tomatoes and toss those in there. I'll put our vegetable stock. I Got this one at Trader Joe's has some pretty good ingredients in it Butternut squash in the pot now I'm gonna add some maple syrup to this and This is just it's not gonna make it sweet. It's just it's gonna give it a hint You won't even hardly notice it, but it just makes the recipe better toss in that charred we cut up now for our spices We've got our smoked paprika chili powder the ground cumin and The oregano And we're gonna add some more salt to this And we'll have to adjust that later now. We'll stir this up and then we'll set it to cook Okay, to cook our chili would just make sure your vent is on seal and Then we'll hit the pressure cook button and I'm gonna cook this for 12 minutes and this is on high All right, it's been 12 minutes. I'd let it set for a minute, but I'm gonna Release the pressure so we can see how it's doing Okay, pressure's released here we go. Let's give this a stir Now it looks to me like the lentils are done They look soft. They're kind of broken down which makes this nice and thick and creamy Now I'm gonna go ahead and take a taste of this to see if I need to add any more salt or You know any other spices Be careful when you do that because this is piping hot Super delicious, I don't think we need to add a thing I'm gonna toss in the beans now and just stir them in and you can keep your Instant pot on warm and they will just heat up Because this is very very hot. Look at how beautiful that looks Dinner is done. It happens so quickly Such a hearty meal. You're gonna love it. I'm gonna serve this up so you can have a look at it Thank you so much for watching Share the video if you know someone who might enjoy a nice vegan recipe and of course you can make it non-vegan If you like you could always toss in some you know ground turkey or hamburger You know if you want to but it's delicious the way it is lots of good flavors, you know, it's it's really very nice So thanks again. We'll see you next time if you have any comments Let me know down below in the comment section or any recipe requests. I'd love to hear from you. Alright, we'll see you next time


Hey guys, Kevin here. This video is for those people who want to make your own printer. For example, a DTG printer, or a cake printer, or maybe an industrial printer. When you do a printer, you have to deal with those optical encoders. Today, I'm going to show you how to work with a disk optical encoder. You can see on the disk, there's little marks. When the disk is routed, the mark is going to deflect the sunlight, not sunlight, it deflects the light. If you don't have the background, just google optical encoders, there are lots of articles explaining how it works. Basically, you have one side, you have LED, that shines the light, and the other side receives it. Today's sensor is from Epson, which is they have two photo sensors on this side. So you will not only measure the speed, you can also measure the direction of the rotation. Don't worry about the concept right now, I'm going to show you, and it's really easy to understand later. This disk is mounted on the other side of motor. When the motor shaft is routed, the disk is also routed. Here's the encoder, and you can see one side is emitter, and another one is received light, and notice the output, there are four pins. You get one pin for the ground, and one pin for the power for the VCC, and then you have two more pins, and one pin is for the sensor A, and another pin is for the sensor B. It doesn't really matter which one, which is way, which is B. When you program, you're going to find out really easily. And all those units are built together, and you use a Mabuchi FK130SH motor, and you can find it at bchtechnologies.com, and go to printer parts, and Epson, and motor. And today we're going to talk about this DIAP91 optical encoder. And in the encoder, if you need any files that we're going to talk about today, just click the Arduino sketches, and it will bring you all the code that we're going to cover. If you don't have an Arduino, or never had any experience with it, go to Amazon, and search Arduino start kit, and just buy the cheapest. And today we're going to use this one has the main board, and also has the power regulator. For example, I have this new project that I need an RGB sensor to tell the color on the substrate. So I need this RGB sensor, it's another $10. And a couple more things, maybe $50 later, I can build a machine that right now is selling for about $1,000. Just to give you some hint, oh, it's more than $1,000, that's how much it cost. OK, you got your Arduino board, and don't worry about you don't understand it. Just pay attention to the side, it has a bunch of numbers, like 1, 2, 3, 4, and those are the pins. I made a little bit of homemade adapter cable for those four pins coming out from the optical sensor. The cable is from the original Epson cable. So Epson uses one white wire, they already tell you this is ground. OK, into the ground. So now we have three wires left. The middle one is the power. So the middle one was supposed to plug in some kind of power source. Then left and right, there are pin A and pin B. For the board, you plug in your computer's USB cord. And those two pins going to provide power, one is a 3.3 volt, one is a 5 volt. And you can use any of those grounds as ground. And those number pins you can use either as input or output. So our first plan is connect the white wire, the ground, to the ground. And then we connect the middle, the red wire, to the 3 volts. You can connect 5 volts, try 5 volts works too. And then the two data pins, we just connect to pin number 2 and number 3. And then we tell the computer, we're going to input something and let the computer show us. OK, white to the ground, middle to the power, the 3 volts. And left over, one to the 2 pin, one to the 3 pin. This software is free download and you can get it from your kid, the kid, your brother from Amazon. So first we tell the computer, we put the pins A in 2, pin B in 3. The rotary position is the reading come from pin A. I'm just have a variable to hold it. And the previous reading of the pin A, I'm saving as a rotary previous position. So when I compare the two positions, I know if the disk is turned or not. So in the setup, we tell the computer that we're going to read from pin A and also we're going to read from pin B. And then we're going to start serial communication so we know what's going on. And the rest of setup is just a couple of prints show us. The loop is the board going to execute forever and just keep looping. So when I say the previous value and the recent value changed, we know the disk has been routed. So I'm going to just print the output and tell us the position of the two pins. So we click upload and that's going to upload the code into the board. Remember we'll use a story begin to start our communication with the board. So we can open up the serial window. So you can see the first part of the code executed. So now when I turn up the disk, the computer compare two values. If they're different and only they're different than the previous value, print out this AB position. So say if I turn it one way, the two value is the same. But if I turn it the other way and the value will be different, that's how you detect the direction of the turning. So now we can detect exactly when the disk turned and the direction of turning. And we can calculate speed and we can do all sorts of things. OK. That program will work really well if you compare it doesn't do anything else. Just sitting there waiting for you to turn the disk.  So when they want to do other things, you turn the disk and it's not going to record it. To be able to record all the changes, you need something called interrupt. OK. Here's the second script. It sounds really fancy, but it's really easy to understand. Interrupt means stop whatever you're doing and do the thing I'm telling you to do right now. OK. So first thing we need is something called volatile. That means this number always changes. And we're going to use this variable to store the number marks, the disk turned. After that it's easy, PnA is 2, PnB is 3. And here we define an interrupt function to tell the computer what to do when there's interrupt. So we read from PnA to a variable IA, we read into the B into IB. If the two numbers equal, so there's one direction. If it's not equal, there's another direction. Every time it gets interrupted, the number marks increase by one. The setup is the same serial connection, PnA and PnB are input. And here's the function, attach interrupt. That tells the computer, I need an interrupt. And the zero is the poor zero. The zero always connects to PnN2 on the Arduino board, Uno. And if it's like a Mac or something, you have to check which zero goes to. So always suppose zero there. And physically it will connect, always connect to your interrupt Pn into number two. The SR is the SR function we define. If we define the function as an other name, that's Kevin, then here we have to write this as Kevin. The word change means, I don't care if it's changed from zero to one or one to zero, and get me interrupt. You can also use the word rising or falling. And however, that only change the direction, like for example, it's rising, it's from zero to one. So in this case, we know it can change both directions. So we use the word change. In the loop, you can compare to last loop. In the loop, just one thing, just print the number marks, that is the whole point. In the loop, you do whatever you want. And just whenever the PnA changes the voltage, the system immediately jump into the interrupt routine, and do the interrupt, and it doesn't come back to you. So you'll never miss a moment that you turn the disk. Here is what it looks like. So you have to turn it really, really fast, between the printing and the number already added. Okay, we did this part. Now we're going to through in the motor. You cannot drive the motor directly from the Uno board. So Uno has the power source, but the reverse current from the motor going to fly this board in a second. So we're going to use a little controller chip. And what this chip does is it takes the little current from the Uno board and controls the really, really big current on the motor. I'm going to use this L293D, as example, I can send that 10 of them, it's like $8. If you do a lot of things, I suggest L298N, which is a little bit better than this. We'll put a chip on the breadboard. Here's how the breadboard works. On both sides, there are power and ground. So those ones are connected. So you put one in the ground, they are all grounded. And one below it, the red line is the power. So you put the power source there, anybody need the power, you can just attach to that power and you're going to get that power. For example, I need a 9 volt here. I can just connect a line from the 9 volt to the 9 volt power. All those columns, the four of those, they're connected vertically. So they're all connected. So if I want to connect anyone to this lag, I can connect any of those three slots left. And here is how this chip works. The chip has a dent here. Underneath the dent is number one, and then number two, number three. Those two lags should go to the ground, or you can connect to a really large heat sink. So it's not really used, it's used as ground. Number one is enable.   Basically I think there's a speed control. And then those two lags that I can connect with the blue line, they are for directions. So you put one of them in high, one of them in low, it goes to one direction. If you go vice versa, if you put another one high, this one low, it goes to a different direction. I just control the direction of the motor turning. So those three lines, the enable line, and those two lines control the speed and control the direction. The furthers to the right is the one, the right line, which you control, or not control, on which you connect to the high power. You connect to 9 volts or 12 volts power. So we only got two lags not connected. Those two lags go to the DC motor. It really doesn't matter which direction it goes, because you can control the direction. You can see we only used half the chip, because actually this chip is designed for two motors. You can control another motor on the other side. For this speed control, you need to just use one with squeaky symbol next to the number. Then two wires to give directions, then ground, then put those two blue ones to the motor. The last one is for the power to the motor. Your Arduino package comes with a power adapter. This is really cool. We can connect to a 9 volt battery, and you can fit it right on the breadboard. Then it powers on both sides of the breadboard. And also you can control the voltage of each one. So for example, I want this to be a 3 volt. You just move the pin to the 3, connect the two pins on the 3-volt side. This time, I'm going to use the 5 volt. It's a little bit underpowered for this motor, but I also have. Okay, let's start. Pretty easy. Number of marks. This time, I also calculated the number of turns, because there are too many marks, and there will be overflowing. The motor enable is at pin 11. Enable is when you control speed. And then the two other like I control the direction at 10 and 9. Then from the optical pin A is on the 2, and the pin B at the 3. Remember the interrupts for the Uno board, you have to put on the 2. And here's the interrupt function. I read from optical pin A and optical pin B, if they equal, it's one direction. If they're not equal, it's another direction. And if a number of marks is more than 100, that means one full rotation, I just set to zero. And then I increase the number of turns by one. And the setup is just a boilerplate. This pin is input, that pin is output. Attach the interrupt and give me a serial communication. And motor A and motor B are going to control the direction, so one is high, another one must be low. However, I can just put it in the setup, because we do not change the direction in this example. And here I define a variable ii, which I use the ii to control the speed. So I assign an ii to the maximum, then one is larger than 125. Why 125 is because I found this motor stalls if it's lower than 125.  So it's going to start with high speed, then get slower and slower, every time by step of 10. And I output the ii value, which is the arbitrary number you give to the enable wire. Remember the speed that we use here, adjust that the arbitrary number is not actually turns. It adjusts arbitrary number from one to 225, we'll give to the motor, give to the controller. But the number turns is the one that you actually calculated from your interrupt function. Next example we're going to use this one as a step motor. The step motor is not like RC motor, step motor have more wires and more complicated. And the advantage of step motor is it can precisely control the angle it turns. So it's used for the 3D printing, however it's more bulky and it's more expensive. So here I define an x to control the marks. So basically I turn the motor off by giving that wire, but it enable wire at zero voltage. And then I say, if you can call one mark stop, then the next time you'll record two marks you stop, then three marks you stop. So that's going to control precisely how much the motor can turn. Let's say it works, pretty cool stuff. If you like this kind of video, please click like, otherwise if I say a thousand people watched it, but there's only like 10, 20 likes, I may just stop making those videos. Instead I'll make a video for me eating a pie or do a TikTok dance. I hope you like this video, the emphasis on like.

Greetings and welcome to the Introduction to Astronomy. In this video we are going to talk about the evolution of higher mass stars. Previous videos have looked at the evolution of stars like our Sun and there is quite a difference in what happens to a high mass star as compared to a low mass star because the high mass star is better able to produce heavier elements. It will get higher temperatures and therefore heavier elements produced in its core. So while our Sun was stopped at carbon production in its core, higher mass stars will be able to go beyond that. So let's take a look a little bit at what we can see here. So let's look at the evolution of a more massive star and this should look relatively similar to what we had seen for the lower mass stars that we had built up except that we had only built up carbon in the core. In this case, when something is more massive than the Sun, the temperatures will continue to rise and that means eventually we will get to the point where carbon is able to fuse together and we will build up multiple layers and as we see here we go from hydrogen, the envelope and we get hydrogen and helium fusion and then we can get helium fusion and then carbon and oxygen, magnesium, neon and oxygen, silicon and sulfur and finally up to iron. So iron builds up in the core and this is the key point that happens there because that is the limit as to what we can do as we will see later on. Iron is the last element that can be produced through nuclear fusion and give you any energy. To try to fuse anything heavier than that actually takes energy away from the star and so the build up of iron in the core becomes a very important stage in the life of a star. So let's look at an example and what we have is the star Ada Carinae and this is an example of a very massive star right at the limit of 100 solar masses about as massive as a star can possibly be. It is ejecting material out into space and that material is enriched in heavier elements. So this is going through all of those stages right now and building up heavier elements in its core. There is extensive mass loss going on and while the fusion the core continues to fuse elements eventually this will become unstable produce iron in its core and become a supernova. So this is one that is likely to become a supernova in the relatively near future at least astronomically speaking in that meaning that it could happen in tens of thousands of years or even 100,000 years. It is just when it builds up that iron core that it starts to become completely unstable but this is one star that astronomers look at as a possibility to be the next nearby supernova. So let's look a little bit at how we actually build up the elements by this process. So as we saw here we build up to iron in the core and this is where a lot of the heavier elements come from. Elements normally stars produce a fuse hydrogen into helium. These heavier stars are actually fusing the iron limits fusing the higher limited stars. So iron is that limit. You cannot go any higher than iron when you are fusing materials because no energy will be released. The core eventually becomes unstable, implodes collapses down and then rebounds back outward as a supernova explosion. So what this means is okay we've produced elements up to hydrogen, up to iron, how do we get heavier than iron because iron is element number 26 in the periodic table and we know that there are 92 naturally occurring elements. So where do the rest of them come from? Well it is believed that some of them could be created during the explosion itself. So during the mass of energy of the explosion, heavier elements could be fused together. It's also believed that sometimes in the collision of neutron stars, heavier elements could be created. So there are some other ways to build up those heavier elements. And when we look at how we build those, what we see, we can look at a graph like this which shows the average binding energy of each element. So hydrogen is down here, it has no binding energy because there is nothing for it to be bound to. Helium is then up here and then we have carbon and oxygen, some of the more common elements in the universe. And this is, the iron is the limit because no energy is released because of this binding energy. As long as you are working your way up this area, you can gain energy by nuclear fusion. So fusing hydrogen into helium gains you energy, helium into carbon, carbon into oxygen, and so on up until you reach iron. However, if you try to fuse iron you start going on the downward slope of this and you are unable to get any energy out of this. You can also work the other direction. So this side is fusion. This side works nuclear fusion, which is how energy is produced in a nuclear reactor. We fusing fusing separate uranium into lighter elements and that also gains us energy. Note how it is actually moving upward if you go this way on the graph. So you can get energy going this direction, you can get energy going this direction, but when you end up with iron you actually get a problem because you can't go either direction and gain energy. And this is where things like supernovae will come from. So let's take a look at some of these heavy element abundances. What do we have? Well, we have what we call two different populations of stars. We have population 2 and population 1 stars. Now population 1 stars are the oldest stars, are the older stars. So these are stars that are present in globular clusters and they have very low heavy metal abundances. Heavy elements, metals, again anything other than hydrogen and helium are much less, one one tenth to one one hundredth what we see in the sun. We also see stars that have heavier element abundances that are similar to the sun and those are the population 2 stars. What this allows is where can we form earth-like planets? When we want to wonder where other planets like the earth formed, they could not have formed from the earliest generations of stars. The metal abundances are very low and if there was not enough carbon, iron, silicon and carbon to be able to form planets like the earth then we would not have been able to form earth-like planets from those very earliest generations of stars. However, the later ones, the population 2 stars would have then been able to form these abundances, would have been able to form planets much like our own earth. So let's take a look a little bit about what happens as we approach the end of the life of a star much more massive than the sun. What we find is that each stage takes a shorter and shorter period of time. So the time becomes less each time, the temperatures get higher, which means that nuclear reaction rates are going to go faster and the fuel will last a shorter time. So we have stages that might last millions of years, then hundreds of thousands of years, then tens of thousands of years and you work your way down to things like a thousand years for one source of fuel and then a hundred and then just ten and then even less than one year. And when you build up iron in the core, that's when you've gotten to this stage. Once it builds up iron in its core, it is going to implode, essentially all of the iron will get so hot that the iron will disintegrate and tear itself apart and the whole losing its pressure and then the star will implode around it and then rebound back out. And that is a very short timeframe, in fact when we get down to here, when we produce that iron we can be talking a day or less for the amount of time that it might take that star to go through that stage of its life. So let's finish up as we do with our summary here and what we found is that massive stars are better able to reach higher temperatures, higher pressures because there is more material pushing down or on them from above and that allows the temperature to then increase so you get a higher temperature down here in the core and therefore you confuse heavier elements and in fact they confuse up to creating iron in their core. Eventually if you form an iron core the star becomes unstable and what that means is that it will end its life as a supernova the star will actually explode. This can never happen for a star like our sun. Our sun will never get close to forming iron in its core. It takes a star many times the mass of our sun and it's only the very largest and most massive stars that are able to undergo this type of supernova explosion. So that concludes our lecture on the evolution of high mass stars. We'll be back again next time for another topic in astronomy. So until then, have a great day everyone and I will see you in class.


Hey guys, this has been a review that I've been really looking forward to, finally doing it. This is Bree, if you guys remember Bree, she did the review for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. We also did a reaction video about the trailer for Crimes of Grindelwald. And... Grindelwald! Yeah. We'll bring her back for the review of this film because I feel that we might have some interesting polarizing ideas as well as some interesting kind of just thoughts about the film. But I guess just firstly, what did you think of it? I liked it at first and then I thought more about it and now I have a lot more feelings. When I once saw it, I had heard all the negative news about it. I didn't think it was terrible. I just thought it was boring and very broken. This film basically is proof that JK Rowling needs a script supervisor. She can write a book, but she can't write a script. I know she's a fantastic writer and everything, but those aren't the same mediums. You need someone who's involved in big movie media stuff like this. But what were things you liked about this film? What did you think of it in terms of just more building on the lore? And I guess the whole character of Grindelwald because you got to see Death not drunkenness. Well, what you said building up. Basically, to me, I did feel it was a filler movie. And you kind of need those when there's a lot of movies. Well, that's supposed to be five. Yeah, so you kind of need movies to kind of develop what's happening in the storyline to connect dots. So I liked, in the ending, what can come up with future movies. I guess. Yeah, but you're right. I think the only thing that really stands out in terms of what happened in this movie is Grindelwald escapes. And that's it.  Yeah, I don't really understand what this set up. Credence is Dumbledore's sibling though. Yeah, that's another whole bag of worms. That's so much power and that's what I mean. That's another big bag of worms in that too. A lot of people like that doesn't make any sense apparently either. I don't know how it doesn't make sense. But mind you though, she did establish in the first one that obscures last only ten years, right? Yes. All of a sudden, Newt says, Oh, this puts a stronger bone than others.  Cool. And now she just seems to have completely forgotten about that. Credence doesn't seem to have any problems being this massive ball of terror and power. It's not killing him at all. He's just, hey, Nagini, let's go. No, he's clearly not stable. He seems a lot more stable in this than he was in the first one. I'm not objecting to the way they're developing his character. Oh no. Anything can happen, right? Oh, true. I think that's just another kind of twirl around with the issues. There's so many different storylines happening. There's Queenie and Porky. There's Newt and what's her name? Porky. There's Grindelwald obviously. Dumbledore's addition and then Credence. Yeah. And it's like, wow, there's a lot of movies happening right now. You couldn't have split this into different ones? No? Okay. I did like they kept with his visual stuff. I think that it's good for now. But the thing that I am a little worried about is that since David Yates is directing all five movies, we're not going to have a change of theme and kind of visual style like the Harry Potter movies did. At least the first four. First five, really. Because Chris Cronland is Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cronzo, Mike Newell and then David Yates. So there's been a change and I'm kind of worried that David Yates is going to just... It's going to be too consistent. It's going to be kind of the same film over and over again. Well, I mean, it definitely wasn't compared to the last one. I felt it was very similar. I think for me it wasn't similar in the ways that I would want it to be similar. Admittedly I had more color than God. That was something that I was drastically missing from the first movie. Everything was so gray and dull in America and then France has all these colors and their ministry was like a really cool looking building. So I like that they added a little bit more variety, a little more color and there weren't... I thought the dragon cat thing was kind of funny. I like the animals and I like that part. I do. I loved it so much. I thought it was better than the weird elephant rhino thing. There has to be weird combinations of everything though because it can't be... It has to be cool and weird. But to me there wasn't enough animal development or like animal storyline. Like it's fantastic beasts in the world to find them. I think that's the problem that they shouldn't have kept that fantastic beast as a name holder. It should have just been different movie names throughout. I guess because she's like, oh Harry Potter and so I'm going to do a fantastic beast and so I think that she's written herself into a pickle because I very... I bet she's trying to force monsters and animals and whatnot into these movies and it's going to be so shoehorned in by the last one. He's literally going to bring a dragon hawk or something. That's how it works. The combination of things... Well apparently he's not even going to be the main character anymore which kind of needs to happen because the final battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald... We're basing this off of a textbook writer, right? Yeah, that's what I loved so much about the first one. That's what I loved. The thing, basically Newt encapsulates the feeling that I get when I watch the first couple Harry Potter movies as a kid. He encapsulates the whimsical and wonderful and wholeheartedness and just special people. He's a special person so to me he brought back the nostalgia that came with Harry Potter. Oh I can see that. It's sad for me to see it not continuing because that's really what kept me... I went to that movie not expecting anything when I first saw Fantastic Beasts and I was so happy with it because it captured that. Yeah, I thought it was better than I thought it was going to be too. I was very worried. I found the side characters really enjoyable. Queenie and... What's his name? The guy who... I love him too. It's such a wonderful character. I just remember him from that ping pong movie. Balls of Fury. Yeah but that's another issue, just the whole Queenie thing. She just switches sides like that and she just watched Grindelwald murder 20 people in cold blood and she's like yeah I'm going with you. I can read your mind.  I'm susceptible. I'm curious to see why that happened.  In the grand scheme of things like what was the thought process to... Like how is that going to end up? Is that going to become a different story that really affects something else in a future story? What was that? And if they don't do anything with that I'm gonna be so upset. Yeah I have a feeling it might just get dropped. No because in that ending when they're talking like she's being really helpful to him and maybe she'll be like a right hand. No. Woman because she can read people's minds and she's clearly corrupted. Well I guess that ties into the final thing. Like Grindelwald what did you think of Depp's performance? I've heard a lot of people say that they thought that he was a good. They someone thought that he had presence. I honestly just thought he looked bored. He's like I'm not being weird. I'm in white makeup. I've got two different colored eyes but I'm not weird. I don't know what to do. I think that goes into my feelings of there wasn't very much character development. Oh no. Which again was something that I felt was really important and I really enjoyed in the first one. And I hate comparing the movie so much to the first one but it was hard not to. So for Grindelwald it was hard to get enticed by his character because there wasn't very much there so I wasn't attached to him as a villain. Oh yeah well because like nothing really happens in this movie. Like you said it's a placeholder film. Yeah. For what's going to happen. Like maybe the next one will have a lot more. But this is just again coming full circle. I really feel that Rowling needs someone to help her write these movies.  No that twist doesn't make sense. No McGonagall wasn't even born yet. Oh Nicholas Flamel. Okay I thought he was he was a bit fan-servicing but I thought he was kind of cool. I thought his inclusion was funny. I read so much about his name. Yeah you've never seen what he looked like right.  Yeah and he's brittle. You know my rating out of seven. For that what would you give this film? Um.  Yeah. I'm gonna give this film a three because I feel that the film had some cool parts to it. There are some narrative issues. It's kind of boring. But it's not the be all end all worse. There's been a lot of worse movies this year. I don't think it was a bad movie. I think it was a boring movie. I think that's my my biggest crime for it. I felt very bored when I was watching this. The crime of... No. There's lots more to come so... Yeah but anyway thank you for being back again. I'm very happy to have you back. It's been a while. So you know you guys can wait and see whenever we hopefully can do a reaction video for the trailer for the next movie. And then... I'll cry more. I think I cried in the last one. You got really excited. And I was like hey that's cool. Wait that doesn't make sense. I don't know. It's Hogwarts. I cried. I cried when it showed Hogwarts in the last one. In the reactions people loved you. They hated me. They hated me. So I'm expecting the same thing for this video. So anyways guys thank you for watching. I hope you liked it. If you did leave a like and if you're interested in more maybe subscribe. Otherwise see you guys next time. Bye!


Everybody forced here upping 2023 archive six series baseball 20 box case number five random divisions There's the result link the results right there link is in chat. You can always find a late sports cards calm. Let's get started Come on now one of one Tony or judge come on There's a brain in lap for the rays I'm a 2019 a rookie auto to our 2019 rookie to 51 Bowman rookie there AL East. I Am not sure Shane. I did I didn't watch One of them be open to be honest. I forget what the biggest one was That that true blue wander PSA nine first one was pretty big I know the green shimmer Bobby wit as well Got a Nolan Jones Guardians auto to 99 on a 2020 Bowman AL central Basically the entire time Almanac was going I was I was already at the shop doing some other stuff Getting Matt Olson auto from 2021 tops AL West to 51 2019 a rookie Corbyn Burns 2019 Bowman rookie auto Corbyn Burns Brewers Eight of 80 and Al central next is a hunter green one of one from heritage I don't think I believe That is the Dayton dragons. I believe that's I don't think he's never been on any other team than the Reds, right? Dragons is Reds. Yeah, it goes Reds. They've been on another team anyway So NL central one of one hunter green. Congrats. Got that card extension Someone probably looking up anyway, but All right, Mitch Anniker 10 of 10 we pulled the other one another one of these earlier AL West on 20 2019 I think this is 19 19 Archives there. I believe archives AL West Yeah, I'll have to go back and check some of it out. I'll probably just I guess put them on a playlist later I just watch them all AL East started here Matthew Libertor 2020 Bowman number to 47 were you and was that an Almanac man here was that in? I'm sure that was in here then that's pretty cool though 2021 Bowman rookie auto Casey Meis to 54 for the AL central Casey Meis that guy needs to get healthy Got Shaila Angel leaders to 99 NL East 2020 Bowman auto 99 there Kenzie Gore Padres 2021 Bowman auto to 56 NL West. Yeah, that's a pretty good one Shay That's a very good one actually like I don't think that was the the highest competition on the run But that was definitely that's definitely You know, that's that's higher than what was being there and at least one of one Ginzer 2021 auto of Ozzy Albie's congrats NL East One of one Albie's an AL West Seth beer to 65 AL West Seth beer 19 Bowman I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy some of that tomorrow. Yeah For sure. Oh, yeah Well, I've had four beers by two to 44 first Bowman Bobby Dalbeck so 2017 first Sorry 2016 first Bowman Bobby Dalbeck AL East Next up a redemption of Salvador Perez.  So it just automatically goes there. So AL central Salvador Perez next up AL West Marcus Simeon auto 18 to 50 on a 2018 tops 2018 that's pretty cool too. Yeah, the AL central 2019 Bowman auto Royce Lewis to 70 Royce Lewis That's what they needed this Darren Lewis Look at that to 14 on a 2020 to Bowman card, O'Neill Cruz rookie auto and Al central nice O'Neill Cruz Good stuff there Ready for him to come back healthy. That is a Lee over Piguero. It's a 17. That is a Who is a Greensboro grasshoppers? Greensboro grasshoppers card here Greensboro grasshoppers Pirates, right Yeah, so and now central Lee over Piguero there. Just wanted to make sure it was still the Pirates And always a pirate now has been a pirate's first moments pirate all that good stuff It's gonna go to that team Shane if it isn't see if there's a team on the card It goes if it's a minor league team, it's gonna go to the affiliate. That's how that's how we have to play it Got a mark can auto to 55 For the it's kind of like that's how we would do g league and basketball essentially to even though There's not like g league cards, but yeah Mark can a ls auto to 55. Yeah, six series has some weird rules just because You get older cars. It has to go to the card, you know mark Canada 55 a ls 2018 tops And then for like, yeah, the whole the redemption thing is is is another thing too Got a nl central auto Jesse winker tops opening day 2022 to 39 Yeah, because then you can get into things where guys that play for multiple MLB teams too that have been a lot I have like a minor league card. So then it gets to like, oh well Yeah, it's it's not like perfect, but it's how you break six series really some all right that'll do for the case Thanks again everybody on 2k 6


Okay, everybody's here. We have a final speaker for the day. It's Ricardo Banffi I was going to talk about lessons learned after 190 million lessons served. Good afternoon. Thank you for coming I'm here to talk about some lessons before anything else I have to say that I'm new to Udemy and Most of what I'll describe happened before I arrived What I'll talk about is therefore the work of other people and the lessons, however, I think they stand on their own Well, this is where we are now Udemy was founded in 2010 And in six years it grew to 11 million students 40,000 courses given by 20,000 instructors in 80 languages The 109 million lessons served number I used for the title was gathered from a table that tracks students watching our videos Lesson one is about preserving our culture as we grow We're a learning company and learning is in our DNA For any healthy organization Preserving its culture is essential to its well-being What I'll talk about is about the engineering team or the teams have different Different things they do Well, we are very serious about onboarding onboarding new employees The idea is to get a new hire From a new hire to a productive engineer in the shortest possible time We use extensive automation. We have standardized Development environments Development environment that's reasonably flexible and if you really want to you are able to deploy our website on your first day I did that in the first week Even I can do it. We learn and teach Ourselves using our own tools There are Udemy courses about our applications from the user perspective from the back end perspective That are given by our own team So you can hear about the application as it is described by the people who created it We also communicate a lot We have hundreds of people in three continents and We spend 11 time zones We all hang out in Slack We use hip chat until last like yesterday literally We just moved We also use scrum We have the usual stand-ups grooming sessions We also have hangouts Hangouts We can do so we conduct all hands meetings on hangouts or other solutions if we have too many people Every meeting room is capable of joining a hangout. We have big screen camera good microphone So we can join we have meetings.  We can't commit code with missing spaces We can't push broken code That means get runs a basic set of tests before we are allowed to commit You're allowed to push to commit. It's flake eight. So still anyway and You can't merge if your code doesn't pass Very extensive set of tests. So you're absolutely sure that when you merge your code, you will not break anything Also We also use custom tools custom Django admin scripts custom Django admin commands To help prevent accidents So if you want to update a series of records a series of Objects in the data store, you will not be handed a sequel my sequel prompt In fact, it's very few people who have that kind of access Instead you'll have you'll do that through code. That's Reviewed by someone else That's known to be I Won't say bug free but it probably is less bug free than you typing sequel commands on the my sequel prompt Even though we do We go to such great lengths to prevent that some accidents happen I myself deleted a shared database on my fourth week fourth week the company I was out of the Dublin office where I'm based. I was in San Francisco and I Deleted one of our shared databases Not production environment development environment, but thanks to me the whole development team with the San Francisco office Which very large actually Had a mandatory coffee break Because no one could do anything Yeah, there's some room for improvement What we can do to that Well, we have the shared database. We're working now To have an individual database for everyone With just enough data so you can so that you can run your development with meaningful data We also constantly make improvements to our Development environment We add all the time we add code that makes it easier to develop we've had extra checks with add Some extra functionalities that were not there before Personally last week I think no last month I added a Bit of code that made some tree objects represent themselves in a nicer way on the terminal on the IPDB prompt It was a horrendously complicated logic and by that I had someone lessened my cognitive workload so that I with my Somewhat limited brain I could wrap it around a very complicated problem without having to worry about Imagining what the objects look like I could just print them on the screen and have Look into them The second thing the second lesson is that as you grow You start to you have to well all the time you should you should be measuring everything anyway When you grow you will start measuring measuring it in bulk So every application we have generates Collects metrics about themselves about itself. We collect those metrics in a huge Not Facebook huge but still pretty impressive scale For that we use stuff like sentry Datadog and chart.io This is not Although this is considered something important to us These applications are good enough. So you don't have to develop them again. These guys are good so Datadog Sentry for alerts Google Analytics and most of front-end is Constantly monitored of that Also, we have a huge user base with that comes the possibility of doing extensive tests and experiments Where you enable some feature and you can track on a B tests how the user base behaves Since you have a lot of people coming you'll have good quality data on that and We can actually know how something will impact us well before we enable it to the whole user base This way surprise are minimized Which is good. I like I don't like surprises That also allows us to have early warnings if something starts to If you see the distribution say of execution time the given function and you have a peak at like a hundred milliseconds And you start developing a peak at zero milliseconds. You know something is wrong so you can watch those distributions on a tool like Datadog and This data must be Timely we must receive it Soon after it's collected we can we must be able to see it immediately This large user base is all It's convenient because it generates a lot of data we can analyze But it also amplifies any trend very quickly and It's really not that good for you if you only know that What caused an outage of a week-long outage of a service? You don't want that you want to know if possible before Am I going too fast? No Yeah, I suspect you like this one It's about questioning and being a bit Willing to abandon an approach Let me say that they Netscape in this case Delayed a new version by three years. They did it by making the single worst Strategic mistake that any software company can make They decided to rewrite the code from scratch Okay This is Joe's Polski. Who knows Joe's Polski? Raise your hand Well for those who don't know him. He's a pretty clever guy He created a lot of stuff used daily Like Trello or Stack Overflow. Who's a Stack Overflow here? Come on No, I don't believe you. No, no Everyone should raise hands that Okay He said it in an article This things you should never do that everyone should read even if you want to disagree with him later Told you you'd like it Yes, we moved from PHP We had a large PHP application built on a custom made framework created by designed internally by our founders Who here has has built their own framework who thought at that time it was a good idea Who regrets that now Okay, we're good This is a problem because new hires has to be trained on a framework they have never seen and It takes a long time It ties an expensive resource it ties an engineer that's already trained on that And the engineer will be tied and not building useful things useful things for the business useful features Things users are demanding That's specific always had the very little tests With the lack of tests maintenance becomes walking on the minefield The fear of breaking stuff and not seeing it until it goes into production or worse yet until the corrupt user data Will drive you to adopt a very careful approach You will always you end up opting for safe changes Instead of using it instead of writing some more maintainable More elegant more performant Code you may even be tempted to replicate side effects of a previous implementation out of fear you'll break something you are not seeing and Obviously this makes development slower and more expensive so what did they do and I say they because I arrived right after the The migration was finished, so I didn't even see that happening.  I'd love to see that I'd love to be able to delete some PHP code. So what did they do? No, they didn't jump for the first technology or the technology. They love the most They actually created a project and evaluated they evaluated the various options they did a small Proof of concept project with each of those and with what they learned they Guided the decision they looked into How easy it was to develop for that platform what they knew How well the platform encourages good practices and How easy it is it would be to onboard New engineers on them. Yes. This is a serious project. It's not a Lot of resources was put behind it They set deadlines they agreed on goals They did that as if the company dependent on it because actually it did Well, I know you probably have guessed which technology they chose because I wouldn't be here talking about it I wouldn't be on nude con for something so other conference telling stuff instead of here Well, what you didn't you got what? And what beautiful environment I am I have the luxury of working with Well, we got a modern Django based application And modern it runs in Python 3.5 and Django 1.8. We are considering the move to Django 1.9 It also allows us to onboard engineers much quicker Because Django is an opinionated framework and you don't have to teach every decision. We made every decision You didn't made a lot of decisions already baked in the platform We have 88 percent of test coverage That's not perfect. We can do we probably will improve that One of the things is that we can't commit code We can't merge code if with the merge the code coverage goes below a certain threshold I have cursed this decision a couple times myself in the end. It's for good with all that We had also a lot of new features We had a more consistent code base Which is what opinionated frameworks frameworks are for And well, there's some of course as anything that was migrated There is some scar tissue where PHP and Django coexisted some table names are a bit odd some field names are a bit interesting and Do we have some special few types and some parts when we have to fight to fight Django's opinions and let me tell you Django is very persistent in fighting back Who had here to fight back? Now you laughed come on someone raise a hand Okay, and what we did we learn from that? Well the immigration took a while to what's two years Two years with 30% of the engineering team dedicated to it It was done incrementally feature by feature and there's a motivation thing on that The the team involved the team responsible for the migration Track the progress by counting the lines. They actually delete it. This is why I'm wearing this t-shirt They call themselves the deletionators We've cried deserved one I'm I borrowed the t-shirt. I didn't delete any PHP line. So All the time the website was up and running and It was as you would browse the pages you would see an high a hybrid PHP Django application Showing your your page showing the data you were used to also Since everything was changing Mindset will set will mindsets would have to change. So that's where the Automate automated checks come from so instead of ending up with an untested code base They enforced some things that they considered mistakes. They learned from the PHP code base and they worked Against the impulse to allow the Django code base to be like that It's also final lesson here. This is about The importance of the mission as I mentioned in start you we are a learning company We exist to help anyone learn anything That's quite a goal This also means that anyone can teach something to anyone else We all have things we like to talk about we all have passions. We all all have Stuff that he would like to teach other people if we could or There are stuff we'd like to know more if only we could find a person who could teach us What is the impact about one third of the Udemy students are starting a growing their own business using the Knowledge they acquired Through the platform for that We also have lots of people who became full-time instructor instructors who basically changed careers from being Something to teaching that's something they love to do if you visit or stand you'll see a couple sheets of stories of how Udemy changed the lives of those people and I'll tell one of those stories not one that's on the that sheet those paper sheets Well I'll tell the story as it was told to me by my colleague Aaron who actually knows this smiling nice guy He's Lynn Smith he Had a lifetime career as a copywriter He wrote ads for companies like Vodafone Lloyd's BBC IBM And after this lifetime career he decided it was time to retire and To keep himself busy as his career as he winded down his company his career He got involved in Udemy And he decided to start I can't start teaching people to write proper copy well It turns out he Probably didn't retire because as of now he has taught more than 56,000 students I myself was very impressed with his number because I was once a teacher and My largest class was like 50 student 50 60 students For a course that took 20 classes 20 weekly classes if I were to get close to what his this guy did after he retired It would take me 500 years To do that This is a 10x guy 500x guy probably When I read the stories when I read the messages our internal emails send Forward that our students sent I see our mission is very very important In the end everything we do everything we do at Udemy everything we all Do here at Europe Python is about the people is About the community it's about people it's about teaching it's about learning and sharing. This is what we do Thank you. Oh one more thing if you in case you buy a course if you use the import this for zero Code you'll get a 40% discount any questions, okay give a bigger, okay Thank you, and I know nothing about Django, but you said that you have to fight the framework back An example like I know nothing Django's opinionated framework, so it assumes you want to do stuff in a certain specific way I know it's no longer the case but a good example I can bring up is from I Think a long time ago, and I met that situation. I wanted to I was doing an image bank for a portal and We wanted to save the images the originals in a way that they would be deduplicated with Which meant we would change the use the file name that was uploaded to a different one And they would play that they would place it on a different folder than what Django wanted to do It took me like one week to build the application and Three weeks to build the logic to allow the the application to save the files Where we wanted them to and it was really really ugly code at that anyone else Hi, you said that Django and All the PHP code coexist at the same time, right? You you probably didn't just Flip the switch So can you explain this a bit more like you probably couldn't use internal Django road system and other features? like how did you manage to Do this that the boat for systems coexist? Django and PHP share the same database with the same Data that's why we have some strange table names in some parts of some other parts of the system The URL routing was done both on the web server and the Django application So some some of the URLs would direct the PHP application some Sends you to the Django application Is that what you wanted? Okay, so after you launch fully Django, then you had to do some cleanup the code Yes, you basically hard-coded some of the URLs and yeah as the as the PHP code was being removed the rules that sent to it the code itself it was deleted from the configuration Any more questions? Sorry, it's not planned, but I can clarify the routing what we did is we had an engine X front-end low banter And we had roots custom roots a giant routing table in there That was selectively route traffic to the Django app or let it route back to the PHP app We just slowly deleted those roots and that more and more roots fall through to the Django app That's basically how we flipped over without doing a big bang release So things went wrong. We could just simply add the route back in and went back to the PHP app again Okay, thank you for that. So I hope to see you all at the lighting talks. Let's thank Ricardo
