welcome to Radiant Prayer from the Radiant City Center in Kalamazoo. We're gonna be interceding as we always do at 8 a.m. We're gonna be praying for church in Kalamazoo and as always when you're praying from a different location feel free to put your city and your location in and we're gonna be praying out of Paul's Prayer in Ephesians 3 for the church in Ephesus. Be strengthened with might by a spirit in the inner man. It's such a brilliant, incredible, comprehensive prayer for for strength. How many of y'all say hey I could use strength. I could be strengthened today. I know your boy's got his hand up today and right now we're we're I want to just read through the prayer too as we're entering into worship just to just to marinate in it for a minute before we actually intercede out of it. So if you have your Bibles out Ephesians 3 I'm gonna start in verse 14. For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ from who the whole family in heaven and earth is named that he would grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might through his spirit in the inner man that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you may be rooted in ground and love may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us to him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever amen amen let's go before him this morning Lord we stand before a father who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think Lord we come not as beggars not with a poverty mindset but knowing you are

God would you make us one Lord that we would not isolate ourselves Lord and think of our individual churches as the church of Kalamazoo but Lord you would bind us together in love you said that we may be able to comprehend with all of the saints Lord we ask just for corporate revelation of your love or that you would take us deeper into the love of Christ and into the love of God Lord fresh

throughout this city Lord that you would break in to the college campuses Western and K College Lord KVCC Lord that there would be there would not be a like this fence where there is a prison inside of ideology Lord that that marks you and strongholds that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God but but you would raise up believers Lord to penetrate those walls of those colleges Lord that we would see your spirit breathe and a move of God on the college campuses in our city Lord that you would come upon college students Lord I ask for those that are nineteen twenty years old living in dorms Lord K College and WMU Lord that you would baptize them in the Holy Spirit and with fire with boldness they would preach your word with golden it with boldness they would witness and share Lord that we would see signs and wonders Lord on the college campuses of this city we would see signs and wonders in the streets Lord you said there's prayer in my house there will be praise in the streets and we are hungry to see the praise erupt in the streets we are hungry to see the name of Jesus confessed on the street praise in the streets so Lord we ask with all the saints God can we comprehend the width the length and depth the height that we would know the love of Christ you would release the fullness of God on the church of Kalamazoo the name of Jesus for those represented on the live stream the strengthening of the Lord in our hearts we'd be praying from Psalm 16 if you want to go ahead and flip there beginning in verse 8 this is David's confession I have set the Lord continually before me because he is at my right hand I will not be shaken therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices and my flesh will dwell securely verse 11 you will make known to me the path of life and in your presence is fullness of joy and in your right hand there are pleasures forevermore so father we just lean in we lean into your desire God to strengthen your people with might in the inner man we lean in to that place of agreement with your tender heart God to root and ground your people young and old alike from the littles God to the seasoned leaders that you would have a people in Kalamazoo that you would have a people in this land God who are strong in the power of your might who are strong in your joy God with peace guarding their hearts and minds because your presence and so Lord I'm asking that right now as we stand in the gap as we lift our own hearts to you as we lift our own families to you as we lift your church in Kalamazoo before you God I'm asking that you would grant grace to set Jesus continually before us that your beauty God would be set before us that we would have eyes like the dove riveted on you God and not fear and not anxiety and not the counterfeit loves of this fallen world and not the relational pressures and the financial pressures holy spirit I'm asking that you will do what you can do that you love to do that you would set Jesus this beautiful man with eyes like fire infinite in beauty before us that we would Lord be strengthened and immovable in our faith and in our love we're asking Holy Spirit set Jesus before your church in your name we pray our perspective for people who are strengthened on the inside for a people who know your presence God who find their joy and strength in being with you so Lord I'm asking all across this city set Jesus continually before your people God I'm praying for leaders right now ministry leaders God I'm asking that Jesus would be set anew before them that you would break Lord the parameters of religion and tradition God that you would remove the hamster wheel before them and I'm asking that you would set Jesus before them and that they would be rooted and grounded in your love Lord strengthened in your presence again that there would be a reviving and a refreshing to leaders all across the city all throughout the network all throughout every church represented on this live stream God we just say set Jesus before leaders today Lord open their eyes afresh to his beauty set his voice that's still small voice before them God that they would not be moved taken by discouragement that they would not be shaken by compromise that they would not be shaken in weariness and unbelief we speak strength to leaders we speak Jesus to be set continually before them in worship Jesus name Jesus you are the source of our strength you are the source of our joy that translates a strength in our heart and joy asking that you will do what your church so desperately needs in this hour that you would be set before us that you would be our vision you would be the one thing capturing our days that it's your presence Lord above all else I'm asking Lord all across this city in every home that you would be set continually before husbands and wives that you would strengthen their marriages God that you would be set before families continually in every expression in those arsenic hours God in those moments of exasperation with littles and teens God that Jesus would be set before them renewing hope restoring joy renewing strength Lord we just say set Jesus before your people before families before littles before high schoolers and college students God those that are just traversing hostile environments today on college campuses God navigating human ideologies and doctrines of demons we just say Jesus be set before them continually as truth Jesus be set before those in the marketplace who are navigating that oh Jesus be set for your church we ask thank you that you are more committed to strengthening us to anchoring us in you to bringing us through as burning and shining one strong in the Lord I thank you that this is your zeal Holy Spirit that you've got us I thank you that you will do everything you have promised to do Lord thank you that you are setting our eyes on Jesus that you are strengthening our hearts in love and all that we have asked all that we have even thought of to ask today God exceedingly abundantly beyond all of that you are answering we thank you for your faithfulness Jesus thank you for this privilege to minister to your heart to agree with you concerning the things on your heart for our own individual lives and our families in this city and this land thank you for the honor of this priestly ministry God I ask all that has

downtown and join us God bless you


So in this question, AB is given to be parallel to CD, so these two lines are parallel and you have to find out the value of X. Now if you look at this picture or the diagram of the lines here, it's very difficult and actually there's no trans-clear cut transversal here, isn't it? So hence if this is not there, we have to do some construction, so hence let's do one thing. What we are going to do is we are going to draw a line parallel to AB and CD passing through E. Okay, so let's do that. So what I'm doing is I will be making a line parallel to AB and CD. You will ask why do I do that? Is this the only method? Not necessary. Also done or you could have also done was you could have produced this and do all geometry and then figure out. But then so you could have produced A to make it our transversal and make produce CD as well. This could also be a possible way of solving it. But then what are we going to do? We are going to draw our transversal or sorry, a line parallel to AB and CD passing through E. Why? Because now the angle X which I have to find out is now sum of two angles, which ones? So if you see this angle is let's say this angle is Y and this angle is Z. Okay, so can I not say that X is equal to Y plus Z? Okay, Y plus Z. And now let's see about Y and so if you see let me put a name here, let's say this is F. So angle. Okay, before that you have to mention that you have you have done a construction and the construction is. What is the construction? Construction is EF parallel to AB parallel to CD. Right? EF is drawn. So you write EF parallel to AB and CD drawn. So therefore angle EAB plus angle AEF will be equal to 180 degrees. Is it it? Why? But adjacent angles, adjacent angles, adjacent angles on a transversal on a transversal or supplementary we studied that, isn't it? So using this particular property we can say EAB is plus AEF is 180 or hence we can say 108 degrees which is EAB plus Y is 180 degrees. So Y clearly is 180 degrees minus 108 degrees which is nothing but 72 degrees. Okay. Similarly, similarly. Okay. What is it? Angle Z plus 112 degrees will be 180 degrees. Same, same, this reason, same reason, right? So hence Z is equal to 180 degrees minus 112 degrees which is nothing but 68 degrees. 68 degrees. So hence what is the final value of X? X is Y plus Z which is 72 degrees plus 68 degrees. Hence it is 140 degrees. So we found out the value of X. Why is this working? X equals to Y plus Z. We initially did this from here. If you say this angle is Y, this angle is Z and this angle was X. So X is Y plus Z. We found out Y and Z. We added them and we got 140 degrees. That's the final answer. Okay. So in such problems, you know, even, you know, let's say it was not very obvious what exactly to do and what should be the approach like. So we did some construction and the construction was we used the fact that EA could be transversal but EA was not transversal to AB and CD. So hence we made a line EF parallel to AB so that EA becomes transversal to AB and EF and EC becomes a transversal to EF and CD and hence we could solve the problem.


This paper investigates the use of deep convolutional neural networks, CNNs, for classification of complex wetland classes using multispectral rapidite optical imagery. Seven popular CNN architectures were evaluated, including DensNet-121, Inception-V3, VGG-16, VGG-19, Inception-ResNet-50, and Inception-ResNet-V2. The results showed that the full training of Inception-ResNet-V2 provided the best achieving a classification accuracy of 96.17%. This was significantly higher than the other CNN models tested, which ranged between 74.89% and 93.57%. Additionally, the results demonstrated that the integration of Inception and ResNet modules is an effective architecture for classifying complex remote sensing scenes such as wetlands.

The model was calibrated to match the dynamics of the epidemics in 42 countries, including reported deaths and mobility patterns. The results show that low-income countries are more likely to experience a faster progression of the virus than wealthier ones, highlighting the disparity in the global response to the pandemic.

This is who we're here for. You can see this is Kyla and baby Tanner. We're gonna open with a prayer Our elder Leon over here will open us with a prayer. So if you can all just rise for a moment Thank you very much elder Leon to choose this for your your words this morning I'm just to give you a quick background every most of you have already received our press release So you know a little bit of what had taken place February 11th the Prince Albert police service issued a press Release of themselves stating that there was an incident at home They attended arrested one individual and returned back a few hours later to a deceased child that litigation and that Circumstances I guess rather than litigation is continuing. So again, there are certain things that we can and cannot say But with that Through our own investigation. We found that that wasn't the situation There's more to that situation and that's why we're here today to make sure that something like this never happens again Right now baby Tanner is laying in the community on the traditional territories of Thunder child's where his final home is Elaborate a little more on the evening of the night in question police arrived to a domestic disturbance call and The mother here Kyla was the one that was taken into custody although she was Obviously upset at the time she'd informed officers that her child was home And in danger and nothing was done about that. That's more of a clear picture of why we're here today With Thunder child chief James snakeskin So we thank you chief for coming to say a few words Thank you Tomaya Mr The last one mom or time on what a most on where I'm super to mom That's it. Yes. I was going to tell me what they need and I'm gonna make sure I'm a part of my Elam and I'm just a man.  I'll go. I'll go. Yeah, I can't you can give it to them and I can't do that. Yeah, you can They get into it. I'll be 90 meter. I'll ask So yeah, it's always a not-so-mere thing when I, yeah, why we might not be taught it's going to be a seat of strategy, they will use what they will use how I'm going to be taught it, yeah, umse usse mio, yeah, who thought that I'd be taught it's going. First of all, I'd like to thank the creator for bringing us together here to, discuss what happened and going forward to how we can prevent that tragedy, tragedy like this happening again. I'd like to thank the elder for the open prayer. When we heard about the passing of the young person here, we, as a community, we got together and we tried to support the family as much as we can. We had our CFS people involved, what you call the communication also and my counselors being involved. It was always, it's always a community effort. Unfortunately, that's about the only time we get together and talk about issues that affect our everyday lives is when there's a tragedy that happens. It's not only isolated in one or zero, but when something like this happens, it affects all of us because I keep saying that we're all interrelated. I don't know if this is the right place to say this, but you're always here at Canada, giving foreign aid to people in different countries. I think they should look in their own backyard and give that aid to us. There's a lot of mental issues happening out there with COVID. I think they should be funding those kind of things so we don't have what you call unfortunate deaths like what happened to the baby tanner. I thank everybody for attending. It shows that we, as an Indigenous group, native of our First Nations, we are strong when we come together, but with that, I can ask them to highlight. We'll have Chief FSA and Chief Bobby Cameron to come say a few words. Thank you, Larissa, and thank our no-goom-no for the perilous morning. Akayla, and your family. I'll grant you a word, Lord, and your executive, and our executive, which we're on the media that's here, and a lot of emotions running through many of us have hurt and anger to name a few. We just can't understand why those officers who fielded the calls, who answered the calls from 9-1-1, when Kyla put the call in, it was clear she said, my baby, they get to the residents and detainer. Again, she said, my baby. In the cop car, she said, my baby, and in the cells, she said, my baby. And the staff sergeant, I don't know his name, at the time said, Kyla is sober, but the officer still under the assumption, he took her in under the assumption she was intoxicated. And some of the excuses we heard, we don't have the training. Well, resign if you don't have the training.  John Bergen and Greg Dion do something. Terminate these guys without pay. They are just as much to blame for this young boy dying as the father. We demand you to terminate them. And we demand Christine Tell to step up and do something too. The speakers before me talked of racism. This evening, some of the non-first nation people will hit social media and put us down. There they go again, racism. I'll tell you this. If that was a white baby, this would never happen. Never. If Kyla was a white woman, this would never happen. Them officers would have taken the utmost care and attention if Kyla was a white woman. And if that baby was a white baby in that house, but were first nations. And again, being subjected to horrendous, disrespectful, ignorant behaviors from these types of officers. So we're angry and we expect and demand justice. We demand immediate change. We demand immediate results. Greg Dion, I'm going to call and text you until you make changes. John Bergen, I don't have your cell number, but you can make the changes too. If not, then you should resign. If you don't want to do something right for the people of Prince Albert, which are first nations, then get the hell out of there.  If the mother decides to seek legal action, we're going to support her. All it would have took for those officers was to make a 30-second walk into the house. And clearly, they would have saw an intoxicated man with a baby in the house. This little guy would still be alive. A 30-second walk. That's all it would have taken for the officers to save this little guy.  PA, GC, and many others have continued to push for our own, our own First Nation tribal police. This is clear, a clear example of how our own First Nation police force would have the compassion and the respect and the dignity to take the extra time to walk into that house. This poor little young mother here. My goodness, we demand a media change and we demand it today. We expect those individuals to make a statement by day's end and terminate those officers. Because if the mother decides there's going to be legal action, then they have no other alternative but to respond. This is clear discrimination. There's no excuses to say we didn't have the training. That's a lame, weak excuse. We didn't have the training. What training do you need to walk towards the house and make sure that baby is safe in the house? That's a training with a father, a mother, a grandmother, a grandfather. That's the kind of training. It's gut instincts, common sense. So media, you have a story to tell. And we hope you tell the right story. We hope you say the message that was spoken here this morning on behalf of our FSIN and our executive and everyone that's here today, our 74 First Nations under Child Chiefing Council. This lady deserves all the respect and all the justice that any mother would expect. That was it. Bye, bye. Thank you. And acknowledge all of our of the media that are here. Of course, our our elder and thank you for that opening pair. Knowledge folks around the front table as well. And my name is Dutch Lara. I'm the second Vice Chief of the FSIN. My portfolio is justice as Larissa has said. My statement today. I want to acknowledge who's here with us. This tragedy deserves national attention. It has been far too long that our people have suffered the experience of racism at the hands of the justice system. One of our young First Nations woman at a time of need where she feared for the safety of her child and herself received another dose of reality from the officers of the Prince Albert police service. At the time during this incident, they labeled Kyla as being drunk despite being sober. Prince Albert police service ignored the importance of her plea for help and her motherly concern for her baby. And they did not check safety check on baby Tanner as a follow up. They locked this young lady up. They lied and said she was drunk when she was not. This is criminal negligence that would be disgusting in any country. The police locked this woman up as I said and did not care about the safety of the baby, the First Nations baby. The sergeant who was responsible for the cell block allowed this woman to be unlawfully confined against her will and again ignored Kyla's plea for her baby safety. To us, the police assisted in baby Tanner's murder and the chief of police made a loud and clear statement as he kept these officers at work. To this date, they are still on patrol. This is shocking and vile incompetence at all levels. Echoing Grand Chief Hardlock's comments, Provincial Minister of Corrections and Public Safety Minister Tell, you have the authority to step in and address these injustices. Your ministry accredits Prince Albert police service and you have the responsibility to ensure ethical professionalism and public confidence. We called upon you after the third in custody death of a First Nation man at the Prince Albert police service last fall and you responded then that it was business as usual. We will not rest in our fight for justice as our people in Prince Albert are at risk. In December of 2018, an incident happened or many incidents happened in a city in western Ontario. Two Ontario government bodies published reports that affirm that Indigenous residents of Thunder Bay had long known that both the city's police force and the board of commissioners that oversees them were so encumbered by their own systematic racism that they had been failing to carry out even basic responsibilities. The intervention by the provincial government in Ontario is what we refer to as reconciliation. Minister Tell, we ask you again, meet with us, make this a priority and recognize our concerns of our nations. Thank you. So this ladies and gentlemen is Kyla Frenchman. This is her sister Jocelyn. This is the mother of baby Tanner. Jocelyn, you want to talk about baby Tanner a little bit? It's obviously understandable very hard. She's keeping her for all of us. She's okay. It's okay. You don't have to say anything. Don't worry. Okay. It's okay. As you guys can understand, it's a very hard emotional time for all of us. We've provided a quote in the press release from the family from Kyla. He was a very sweet boy. He was always smiling. He was always happy. He didn't have a chance. And it's time now that we bring justice for him and we're not going to stop fighting for baby Tanner until there is justice for baby Tanner like Chief Cameron said. So with that, we thank you all again. Please do respect the privacy of this family at this very emotional time and direct any media questions and calls to us. Grand Chief from the Prince Albert Grand Council, Brian Hardlot. Did you get Larissa? Thank you Larissa. Thank you for the opening bird. And the Chiefs up there, Chief. A true body. A true father-child. A young lady here. A young woman. And of course, a Vice Chief Dutch. And Vice Chief drove from my office. Then asked him when I'm here. I'm grateful that I'm here. I'm here to really make the change. But first, I thank you for the opportunity here this afternoon to say what I have to say and really with a heavy heart. In honor of this child, baby Tanner, and of course, the mother child. This news conference here today this afternoon is about the child. And it's really about the mother here today. I think I don't think it I know as leaders, as leaders, whether it's provincial municipalities, as first nations, as tribal councils, and as first nations. And all organizations, the police services, in this case the Prince Albert Police Service, and the organizations within within the Prince Albert Police Service. All the support systems that are there. Yeah, the mobile crisis that's there. A victim services. We all have a responsibility. We all have that responsibility. The provincial government, they have a great responsibility when this happened. And I feel that today in my heart, our most precious valuable resource, the child. A child. We are not, we are being proactive there. We are not reacting. And I say that our most valuable resource, precious. When we speak, we say that we will work hard. I will work hard. I believe we have, as a Prince Albert Rand council with my colleague, Vice Chief Joe, the 12 Chiefs of the Prince Albert Rand Council and all their council members. We will work hard and make sure that this doesn't happen again to our first nation's people, to any other first nation's mother. Very, very, very troubled on how this this situation was handled when all the support systems are there. All the government support systems that are there. All the first nation's support systems that we have, that they did not follow policy, their policy. And again, I'll say this is about responsibility. I call on the provincial government to step up, talk to us, the municipal government of Prince Albert to call on us to better things for our first nation's people in our urban centers, our vulnerable people, our young mothers to be protected. I just come this morning from a conference in Prince Albert, a, posted by the RCMP and the, the North SAS victim services. And victim service services is part of the PAPS, Prince Albert Police Service. So that's one. But as caring people, we're also supported in our Prince Albert Rand council. We have an urban services, a unit, a, the mighty nation, they have a support service. Yeah. You know, but they, when they, people that are supposed to activate those services and they don't, that's where the problem is. And either they don't, they're not trained that way or they're not experienced officers. I don't know, but we demand answers. Why that wasn't done. Kina nasko mit na, kina nasko mit na. I thank you. I thank you to the media. I know you'll put this story out there and it's about making change into the future. N'a nasko mit na, kina nasko mit na. Mercy Joe Bedavio. Hey, hey. What do we want to see? We want to see justice firstly for this family. Secondly, we want to see an overhaul and a review of how the police in Prince Albert conduct their business. We want to see a review of the personnel involved with and their, and how they do their internal governance. We want to acknowledge as well that there's many good policemen in the Prince Albert Police Service, but there's a certain few that control that agenda and it's time for some of those, those officers that have been there obviously too long to retire and to let a different focus, a different frame of mind, community policing, getting back to community policing as opposed to, and prevention as opposed to arresting and detention. That's what we'd like to see. Speaking as the Vice Chief of the Prince Albert Grant Council, Vice Chief Joe. First and foremost, I'd like to acknowledge our creator for giving us this opportunity to set the light of injustices of our people. And thanks for the opening prayer there, and thanks for that. You know, I'm here to support Tanner and Kaila. You know, I just want to say a few words by saying the injustices of our people. You know, they depend on us to do the work for them. And it's so important, you know, the media that's here today to share that story, to share our emotions, the pain that our people are going through, like leaders of the day, especially now, you know, as you can see, the Boosie trial, there was no justice for our people there. The justice system needs to not only favor anybody, but to favor everybody. At the end of the day, we're going to keep on seeing this, that little boy didn't even get to see the future that holds for him, because there was nothing. You know, I'm excited about that. I'd always want to say, you know, when my colleagues says, are the young generation are the most important resource, they are because they are the next generation of leaders. And we have to keep on putting the good fight of our people. And I'm not excited to say this, and I don't know what there's so much racism that we fight amongst our other, you know, I just want to say that racism is live and well in here. And, you know, we always say this, we always, all of us breathe the same air, we walk the same ground, we look at the same sky, we drink the same water, majority. When I say that, you know, we're only skin deep, different. The only thing that's different is, you know, the way our people, the genocide of our people, of this Canada, of this Turtle Island. We have a long way to go, but we keep on have to have advocating for the people that can't speak for themselves. Today, kind of, you know, we need, she needs our prayers. It's not only Kyla. Imagine how many people are out there going through the same situation. Just imagine, this is just one story, but that's one story too many. That little boy will never see life, just like your own children, your own grandchildren, as much as you love them. That's how much that little boy was being loved. We always point fingers, always point fingers at the females or the males of that family, but the system is broken, not only the justice system. You know what's broken? This is what's broken in our people, the people that are so racist towards our people. Yet they live the luxuries of Canada, they live the luxuries of the resources that come of our Turtle Island. I say that we only accept it to share the land because the Creator only gave us this land. He never gave it to us. He gave it to us for to share with others. I just want to say that thank you and Tanner will not be forgotten. This journey, we're going to walk with Kyla and also the Boussi family that never got justice. No more. The leaders of the day, like I say, the ministers that are involved with the government's provincial and also the federal, they need to open their hearts, man, open their hearts that can easily be happening to your children and grandchildren. Leave a legacy, leave a legacy for our people, leave a legacy for your family that you were known, that you tried to do your best for your people of Turtle Island.


Alright, Patrick, thanks for jumping on this call. I appreciate it. Yeah man. Awesome. So why don't you go ahead and take a moment and walk me through your experience of going through a sales training and some of the results that you've had after going through the training? Well, I was super skeptical in the beginning. I'm not even Corey was like, I had found you on Facebook first. And then I told Corey, I was like, dude, we should look at this and try this out. Corey being my agent owner. And he was like, I don't know. And then I saw more or more of you on Facebook. And we dove in head first. And in the beginning, I was my first boy here here at Hall State, I wrote maybe geez, maybe 35 was like my max, I would consistently hit 25 to 30 every month. And then since taking your course, I have literally doubled my item number just from implementing a few things here and there. Now I'm full blown, pretty much following your class, tea to the tea. And it's it's phenomenal. I'm on pace this month, like I told you before to write 90 items. I'm already at 30 the inch the 12. Yeah. Yeah, you texted me yesterday and you're like, yeah, I'm already at 30 or 33 items in 10 days into the month. So that's part of all. So tell me what you did right after the workshops and you did 20 to 30 apps or items per month prior to and then that very first month, what did you do right after coming to the workshop? Because it's been about 45 days, right? Since you attended the workshop. Yeah, yeah, right about two months. And it's been so the first thing I did was I went straight to my problem areas, which I was able to recognize and it was asking for the sale. My biggest issue was asking for the sale and then overcoming objections. That's what it was and overcoming objections. Those are the two things that I dove straight into from your course that I immediately took away. Just implementing those two alone made my numbers jump and then Yeah. And I like how you didn't just try to come in and overwhelm yourself and holding right away.  Now I'm going back to this part. And that's really the way to do it.  They're absolutely cool. I follow those scripts. I don't even change the wording. I literally have them memorized word for word verbatim along with the objections. I think the people that are the most successful with your course are the ones who actually study it and learn it inside and out. And those are the people who are going to be extremely successful with your techniques. Yeah. I just had another agent send me a video the other day and he's like, yeah, my team member went on a dry spell for 20 days where he didn't sell anything. And then we went to the training course and he didn't really adopt to try to make it his own, change some of the script to make it sound like how he normally talks. But what the agent did, which was funny, he's like, all right, leave the office, go on a walk, circle the building, circle the city, do what you need to do. Just come back when you have the script memorized, we'll role play, and then you're going to do that again tomorrow. And then the next, keep doing that until you have the script memorized where you can just recite it off of memory. And what was funny is that as soon as he started doing that and he started implementing the script in his calls, which is a difference, I know it sounds simple, but it's different in knowing the script versus actually doing it correctly on the call. Anyways, he started doing that and every single day since last week, he's closed one household, every single day, going through a dry spell of 20 days. So the power of just memorizing the script. Yeah. And the other thing is too, like, you're not going to, it's not like a magic button that you push and it's just going to, you're going to walk out of there and be like, boom, I'm selling this in the items. You have to actually implement, because what you're giving is, is so much info. It's all, like every single word is, it's gold. It's, I mean, it's literally money in my pocket. You've made me, you have made me more money in the past two months than what I would make in, like, three or four months time last year. And dude, like, I could never thank you enough for that, man. It's, it's phenomenal. I know that at this point, literally the sky's limit, it's going to be, it's going to come down to actually being able to not having time to write that mini. Does that make any sense with all the paperwork and all? Like, I'm just not going to physically have enough time to do it all because it's like, they're just chomping at the bit for it. It's way different than what I was usually running into, which was objection after objection after objection. Let me talk to my wife. I'll call you tomorrow. I got to look over the policy one more time. They're just like, oh, okay, let's get it. And it surprises me too. Like, I'm like, okay, all right, yeah, let's do it. I didn't expect that kind of reaction because before in the past, I was very laid back and I would, I would move slowly and I would use the tone that I would use like what you had taught us. I would use the tone at closing where you would slow down the entire process instead of just, you know, rolling through it, rolling through it, keeping it moving and then slowing down and then closing the deal. And that's made a big difference. Like everything, dude, everything you taught us.  It's nonstop. It's been the best thing, the best decision that my agent owners ever made was coming to your course. Yeah, man, that means that means the world to me. And going to what you just said, what it makes me think about is, you know, some people are are really good storytellers where they share a story that moves you have goosebumps, like tears coming down your eyes. And then another person shares that same exact story, but it doesn't hit home at all. And it's the same exact event being explained, but the word choice and the pace and the delivery of that story makes a difference in how the person reacts emotionally. And because selling insurance, a lot of it has to do just with logic, it's emotion, especially if your price is a lot more expensive. And I think that's the big difference in someone like you who has understood that it's not just the words on paper, it's the delivery of those words. And piece by piece on the correct way in implementing it. So I appreciate you, you're running with it the way it's designed. And yeah, any last thoughts or comments for those who want to be watching this? It literally changed my life. I mean, following the course changed everything, like everything. Just to give you an idea, it's literally only been 45 days. And my wife and I are going to Cancun next month. Nice. Just from the increase in sales, like change, dude, change my life, it changed everything. I can't, I'm completely indebted to you 100%. Awesome, man. I appreciate it. Okay.


Here I have an old analog TV. I also have an Arduino. If you want to see how to use an Arduino and just a few pennies worth of other hardware to display images and text on an old TV like this, be sure to check out my second channel because I just released two videos on that topic. If you haven't checked out my second channel, it's all on hardware, mostly working with microcontrollers such as an Arduino or ESP266 chips. So a lot of videos going up there. Be sure to check it out. There should be a link in the description as well as an annotation on the screen. Hope to see you over there.


Next question is from Vicki Lula 18, how much does age influence the ability to make muscle and strength gains? That really depends on the age. Now, here's the thing. A lot of the clients that I would train as a trainer tended to be in the age group of, I would say 35 to 45, I'd say, was a good chunk of the people that tended to hire me as a trainer. And when you're between 35 and 45, people like to say, oh my gosh, because I'm older, my body doesn't respond as fast. It's not that big of a difference in those age groups, at least not in comparison to consistency, good technique, good nutrition. Here's what tends to happen though. You have more time to accumulate injuries and more time to accumulate poor movement patterns. So the challenge tends to be when I get a 40 year old, I have to correct a lot of things before we can really move forward. But straight up, here's a deal. I'm going to tell you something right now that some of the fittest people I've ever trained in my entire career were people who were over the age of 38. And now it's not because they were at the prime age. I guess you could compare the prime age of, you know, 20 or 25 to that. And you'd see there's probably some advantages. But the reason why people in their 40s tended to do so well, they were more wise, they were more consistent with their training. And they had the wherewithal to know that they should probably work with a professional. Whereas you tend to get a 23 year old who's got all the great age benefits, but that lacks the wisdom to get any help. I know I wouldn't have got help at that age. Don't you think that this is misunderstood because of all the studies that point that, oh, when we get older, you lose muscle. Oh, when you get older, hormone levels come down. Right, hormone drop. So there's tons of research that's around this that. And I think that's why this question comes up a lot. I think this is why it's so misunderstood because someone will be like, wait a second, I just read somewhere that says, as you get older, you know, testosterone levels decrease or muscle loss happens or like, immediately feeds you an excuse. Right. And what people are understanding is that this is like a, this broad study of the average person that just goes through their life, what tends to happen. What you're not taking into consideration is all their habits and behaviors over the course of those, those 20 years to your point. So like I've, so I've had clients that were in the best shape of their life in their late 50s. But that's because their diet and exercise regimen in the late 50s was better than it's ever been in their entire life. So you just have to keep that into consideration. Now, do I think the older you get that you've, and you've prolonged those good habits, the harder it's going to get? Absolutely. If you take, if I get somebody who is 30, never exercised, never dieted or tried to eat correct, right?  Do I think they have less of a hill to climb than the person who starts at 55? Yeah, of course they do, but it has less to do with their age and more to do with like for 40 years. They haven't been exercising. They haven't been doing these things. Therefore, hormone levels are down. They've lost muscle over those years. And so they have a greater ability. It's all the lifestyle that led into that. Yes. And so it's, it's a matter of like how much do we have to adjust and correct to even get close back to like that honing in on that, that straight path. And so I think like the, you know, the longer you wait to adjust and to correct a lot of these things that you know, you should be doing right. You know, the harder it's going to be for you to then make gains. But you know, for me, I bought into a lot of the age thing for a while, even as a trainer was like, I don't know if I can, you know, if my older clients were really going to make like substantial progress other than just maintenance, you know, or just like maintaining their strength. But I had a 70 year old guy who actually gained muscle and like gained like 10 pounds of lean muscle and it blew my mind. 70 years old and you can still gain muscle, but it was just an all new stimulus, very slow, methodical approach. Eating really well, great community he was involved in. He was all in and, and you know, and that happened. Yeah, your body never loses the ability to adapt. When it does, you're probably about to die, right? So you can always adapt one way or any other. And yes, adapting in a positive way might get more challenging as you get older. But what I find interesting is we tend to focus so much on the negative. Here's the positive that I think is great about as you get older. As you get older, if you're consistent with exercise and nutrition, the further you separate yourself from your peers and it becomes not a small difference, a drastic difference. Like if I took 25 year olds that worked out and compared them in eight, right? And compared them to the average 25 year old. There's a difference, right? There's a bit of a difference between the two minimal though, you take a 70 year old. Yeah, that takes care of themselves and you compare that to a 70 year old. That's the average seven year old. It's light years of a difference. It's the difference between one group can completely take care of themselves, have no issues, have no health problems. And the other one is on medications, might have had some chronic health issues, might need assistance to be taken care of. Well, anybody that's listening right now that is north of 40 years old and has lifted and exercised most of their life has already experienced this. Oh yeah.  Like you see the, maybe when you were in your twenties and you were lifting like that, you didn't look that different or you weren't that separate. You weren't that much more in shape than the most of them or the average amount of them. But man, once you start getting to 30 and then 40 and then 50, that gap just gets wider and wider and wider. It gets massive. And also, you know, the hormone stuff and all that age can influence that. But when all things are equal, age doesn't make as big of a difference, right? So if you have a 45 year old with healthy hormone levels and compare him to a 30 year old with healthy hormone levels, there's a smaller difference, not a huge difference. When you throw all the other factors in, of course, then you can see some big differences. But my best success has always been with people in that age group. And I think they take it more seriously. The more likely to take advice when you're younger, here's what happens when you're younger. Here's a big difference that I'll tell you right now is that you get away with more because you, it's not cumulative. So when you're 25, you can have looser form and screw up a little bit and whatever. When you're 45, you might have done that a few times. Now you're like, I can't screw up anymore because it's going to hurt really bad. And it's not, I was haphazard in my 20s. Oh, I mean, when I was in my 20s, I was, you know, caution to the wind. I hadn't experienced any major injuries or pain. But after a few times of that, you know, now I'm much more careful and smarter about the way I train. And then here's the other thing nobody talks about. If you're consistent, muscle memory is amazing. It's so easy for me to maintain a body weight, you know, over 195 pounds with relatively lean, you know, with a relatively lean physique, you know, when I was younger, man, it was a struggle. It was hard to keep that much muscle. Now it's like I could work out a fraction of the time and maintain that. So there's also this cumulative effect of a consistent exercise that stays with you and builds with you. If you've ever met a 65 year old bodybuilder who's been working out consistently, you can see that, man, this person's got a lot of muscles that's just sticking around on their body versus when you're 25.

Hi everybody, we're back, this is Dave Vellante, I'm with Wikibon.org, I'm here with Jeff Frick, my co-host for the week. We've been going wall-to-wall coverage. This is day two for us at Knowledge. We're here at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas. ServiceNow's big user conference. We've been going toe-to-toe with all the execs, with all the end customers, and a lot of excitement here, big event this evening. We'll be back tomorrow for half day of coverage with more practitioners, more partners, more execs, later on today with Mike Scarpelli coming on, he's the CFO of ServiceNow, very interested in seeing that segment. But right now, we're with Mitch Kenfield, who's with KPMG, he's a managing director at the consultancy, Mitch, welcome to theCUBE. Thanks for having me. Yeah, so big event for ServiceNow, obviously. You guys do a lot of these events. Talk about what you do at KPMG, and we'll get into the ServiceNow angle. Sure, so I'm a managing director in our CIO advisory practice, and what that means is, we are all about the business of IT, so if you think of the CIO as a CEO of a technology business, we bring capabilities to help them do that more effectively, more professionally, and as I mentioned, truly run it as a business, as opposed to a second, you know, kind of afterthought organization, and so that's where our group comes from. So what is CIO's telling you these days? I mean, we went through the period of this IT matter, we cut costs, we cut time to the bone. You helped them navigate through that period of time, and now we're sort of, it feels like anyway, Mitch, we're entering this new phase of innovation. You got cloud really hitting on all strides and cylinders, you got big data coming in, you got all the innovations from the hyperscale world starting to seep into the enterprise, and it just feels like there's a renewed energy within IT. Is that sort of an accurate description, and what are you seeing in your customer base? I would definitely agree, I think there's, it's a combination of that renewed energy from a, and energy from a services perspective, what can we do different, how can we enable our businesses different, what can we provide, how do these things like cloud and mobile and all that, how do they help us do a better job to our customers, but on the vice versa, that same cost controls and doing things smarter and having a more financially diligent, you know, maybe methodology toward it is not going away. So it's a balance of that, which goes back to that concept of it's a business now, and how do I make sure I'm nimble and innovative, and at the same time I'm effective and I'm providing quality in those lives. That cost effectiveness and cost kind of, it's almost the new, it's the new DNA of IT, isn't it? It's kind of here to stay, but that doesn't mean innovation is dead. Why not? Because the businesses are moving too fast, right? So IT has to be able to keep up. And so, and it's two things, I think our clients, their business-facing organizations are expecting innovation, expecting new ideas from IT, expecting them to bring capabilities to the table that help them. They're not expecting them to be order takers anymore. You know, they're at the table on a part of the business. And so that level of innovation and that level of agility that it requires is not going away. And then on the vice versa, we still have to keep the lights on and have everything running effectively and do a good job of just providing the day-to-day service. So I think at the end of the day, the job of the CIO has initially changed, but the pace of it and the complexity of it, I think, are continually increasing. Yeah, Mitch, I want to follow up on that because it seems like too, the pace of innovation just continues to accelerate and the amount of new things that are coming down the pipe, both in terms of technology, but also priorities just keeps accelerating. You know, how are you advising them? And more importantly, if you're sitting in that CIO chair, how are you prioritizing these things? And how are you deciding which ones to do, when and how? And then you don't want to jump into something that's going to be irrelevant in years or months or potentially shorter time than that. Absolutely, and it's a great question. I would say, I think, traditionally, technology organizations haven't been good at an ongoing innovation. If you think of kind of a research and development capability that a business would have, technology organizations haven't been good at that. They've been good at kind of periodic innovation and then I go back to kind of keeping the lights on, if you will, and then I have some fun, so I think about new things and then I go back to over here. And so to your point, it has to be a part of the DNA of the organization. It has to be a capability in the technology organization that's always looking at R&D investments. Where should we spend our capital that can enable the business? And then on the other side of it, I have to have processes and capabilities that enable me to run that in the way that I can pull back and change my mind. The day is not where I can start huge investments and go down multi-year paths to realize I might start something and things change and pull back here and go back over there. And that's again, that's something that is difficult for many IT organizations to do, but we're seeing a lot more of that in our clients or maybe a little bit ahead of the pack. And then what about two, just from the people side, the people that are trained in the technologies of today, which as those things keep changing so, so quickly, now you've got to retrain the old dogs or find some puppies out there that you can bring on. I imagine it's a very competitive environment. We saw downstairs all these ServiceNow guys who were doing ServiceNow at their company said, hey, this is a pretty cool thing. I know it pretty well. I'm going to jump outside and hang my shingle. I'm an empowered businessman now and they're doing their own thing. So I would imagine the competition for resources has got to be difficult. It's very difficult. We have, when we communicate with our clients around the concept of the business of technology, there are two things that we talk about that address that. And one of them is obviously the talent and resource management capability and really viewing as a CIO, viewing the collective talent of your organization as an asset and how do I protect it and grow it and so on. And then another term we use with them is something called the ecosystem, which generically means that the capabilities and the tools I have to deliver service to my business are varied. And in some cases, those are my own resources. In many cases, as we know, those are resources from external parties, sorcerers, some of them are here, some of them are offshore, all those kind of things. But collectively, I look at that as an ecosystem that as a CIO I'm responsible for and I have to have a proactive approach to deal with things as you're talking about. And we're seeing drastic shifts in where that talent is. We're seeing some clients that are struggling with kind of the specific aging workforce and retirement ages. We're seeing clients struggling with the different cultures of millenniums that are coming in, millennials that are coming in to the workforce and just how they think different and they truly operate differently. And so there's lots, they don't do email, they don't, they truly don't. I mean, I've had clients, I have one client in Florida that literally said we're done with email because people won't be using it, right? And it's just, so you have to, that kind of management of that system that ecosystem of capabilities is so important. And again, it goes back to the job is not necessarily changed but the job's getting more difficult. Yeah, but I guess what helps and what we've seen in the last five guests that we've had, Dave, is the enthusiastic response to be a business guy, not just a technical guy with the people that we've had here in theCUBE. And I would imagine for giving people an opportunity to grow professionally inside an organization, to have that carrot with a tool such as this. Like I said, yeah, everyone just jacked up to use the tool. They're so excited to use the tool. Whoever gets excited to use the tool, they're happy to go to training, they're happy to use the tool because they're going to transform their business. But more importantly, they get a professional opportunity to have serious impact and do something really productive. That's got to help. It does. And I think that the thing that we, KPMG, are very excited about from a ServiceNow perspective is that it gives you an environment to really automate and connect to business processes. And if you think of the business of IT, it helps you deal with that more effectively. But then the same capabilities from a platform help you offer ideas to the business about making their world easier, right? And so there's always going to be roles in the technology organization for technical resources and resources that do that kind of work. But there's more and more roles for resources that have that business capability that are truly consultants within their organization that can go sit in front of a peer from a business unit, from an operational group and have a back and forth conversation where they're bringing ideas to the table about, hey, here's some things we could do that would help you. Even five, definitely 10 and more years ago, it was more of a, let me tell you what I want technology organization and a technology organization would then say, okay, well here's what I have to do. And so we're seeing that change and I think that's that excitement and the people in a technology organization from the CIO all the way to folks that just start in their career, they want to be valuable and they want to have those conversations and be a resource and a valuable resource to the end of business and I think we're at that point now. So KPMG, you guys are thought leaders, but you don't per se get paid for being thought leaders, get paid for actually taking thought and turning into strategy and action. So I want to relate that to what's happening at knowledge and service now in particular. So you've got this great platform and it goes in and solves some problems. You guys have a much wider scope than incident management and change management and problem solving, et cetera. Can you talk about that a little bit? What is your scope? How do you differentiate? What role does service now play in that? But I'm interested in your broader scope of services and what's happening these days. So in KPMG, obviously a large global farm, we have groups that focus on audit services or traditional, what our brand is. We have groups that focus on tax services and then we have a group that focuses on advisory or consultative type services. And within that advisory group, we have a practice that we call CIO advisory, as I mentioned before, it's really all focused on enabling the business of IT. So how do we make the IT function more effective, more efficient, provide better services, provide the right services, which is not always an easy question. And if you looked at that as a business unit, how would we go into that business unit and make it better to be generic? And within that, we see service now as a key part of our toolkit to do that because part of what that means is looking at a technology organization and making sure that they have repeatable practices. And that sounds simplistic, but in many of our clients, they don't. In many of our clients, it's based on so-and-so does this really well, so we always pull them in in that case. And so we often get involved to help them, let's understand what those repeatable practices can be. Let's make sure they're doing the right things. And then let's look at ways, and this is where our connection with service now comes in, let's look at ways where we can automate those, we can have them be more effective, we can simplify them, we can have meaningful intelligence and dashboards and reports so that if I'm in charge of that business unit, if I'm the CIO, I can actually see what's going on. In many cases, what we find in our IT organizations, our clients, is that they're an extremely hard-working organization and an organization that is used to just doing whatever it takes. But many times, they're not elevated, there's not that force through the trees kind of conversation where they say, okay, here's why we're doing this. And this is the right thing to do. And this information helps to make a better decision. And so our services are all around helping them determine the best things to do, how to do those, and then we bring capabilities to actually implement and make those changes. And so that includes things, the configuration of tools like ServiceNow, that includes process work, that includes a lot of work in what we call organizational change because in any organization, changing the way it works, and the people impact of that is difficult. And I might be biased, but I would say in the IT organizations, I think that's even more difficult, just getting folks to do things a little bit different, and so that's where our support to our clients comes in. How about industry domain expertise? I mean, obviously you got expertise in pharmaceutical and financial services and so forth. What's the intersection between your CIO advisory practice in your industries? How does that all work? So it's like this, is a great way to say it. So we go to market by industry. So we firmly believe that the industry specifics are kind of, what's that business book, good to great. I mean, that's what takes us from providing good services to great services. And so that industry specifics is what we go to market with. And so we have folks that are in our group that focus on those specific industries. And then we have folks that understand that the 80% that's common is pretty important too, and so we connect that together. So on a typical effort for us, a typical delivery effort will bring people that understand the very specific nature and challenges and constraints, if you will, or opportunities of that industry with folks that work in that same area from over and over again. A good example is we're doing work in some healthcare organizations, and we have folks, we're doing a large ServiceNow implementation, that they're all about the configuration of ServiceNow and those core IT processes that are pretty common across any industry. But the key distinctions around a healthcare industry, things like medical records and ICD-10s and regulations and things there, is that if you don't understand those and bring those to bear, you're going to take five steps forward and a few steps back, and so we tie those together from the beginning. Excellent. All right, Mitch, well listen, thanks very much for coming by theCUBE. We really appreciate your sharing your insights. Good luck with your practice, and maybe we'll see you next year. I appreciate it, thanks for your time. All right, thanks for watching everybody. We'll be right back. Jim Pitts is coming up. He's the head of Cloud Automation at ServiceNow. So we're going to dig into the automation topic, and then we're coming back with Mike Scarpelli, who's the CFO of ServiceNow, and then we're going to wrap. So keep it right there. We're right back. We're live at Knowledge here in Las Vegas. This is theCUBE.


It has got to be one of the biggest questions ever asked. Are we alone? But seriously guys, you have to wonder if we are alone in the universe. When you think of all the stars in the night sky, with each star at the center of their own individual solar systems, the fact that there are literally billions of stars visible on a clear night makes the mind boggle, but they can't all be poisonous wastelands, can they? We think not. In fact, the chances are that interstellar travelers have actually visited the Earth in the distant past. Think about it. There are numerous depictions in the forms of hieroglyphs, sand skirt, rock carvings, paintings, etc. All the way down the line, right up to the eyewitness accounts in the modern world. There are millions of singular pieces of evidence. Why is that? Well, why do you think that is? You got it.  Now before you dismiss this, ask yourself a few basic questions that are only answered by the words ET involvement. How do they cut and move the massive stones for all the mega-ancient sites across the globe? Some of the stones are in excess of a thousand tons. Why are government officials coming out and declaring that aliens are in direct contact with world governments? What are the Nazca lines for? And why do you believe in gods? We don't want to go too deep with this just now, but you know what we are getting at there, right? Anyway, guys, we want to bring you some fresh content, so we thought you would like to hear about the Southern television broadcast interruption from 1977. Just wait till you hear this. On the evening of 26th November, 1977, a speaker interrupted transmission for six minutes and claimed to be a representative of an intergalactic association. Seriously, guys, this actually happened, so stay tuned. The voice, which was disguised and accompanied by a deep buzzing, broke into the broadcast of the local ITV station Southern television, overriding the UHF audio signal of the early evening news being read by Andrew Gardner from ITN to warn viewers that all your weapons of evil must be removed and you have but a short time to learn to live together in peace. The interruption ceased shortly after the statement had been delivered, transmissions returning to normal shortly before the end of the Looney Tunes cartoon. The broadcast took over the sound, only leaving the video signal unaltered, aside for some picture distortion. The incident caused alarm locally and attracted considerable publicity in the next day's Sunday newspaper. The event was reported around the world with numerous American newspapers picking up the story from the UPI Press Agency. The broadcast also became a footnote in UFOology. There had never been any explanation of the broadcast and the identity of the hijacker was never traced on Earth. Could this be an actual warning from an intergalactic association? If it was, they seemed to be ticked off at how humankind are evolving here on Earth. What do you guys think of the warning message? Did we heed the warning? Comments below. Thanks for watching and remember, the ways by which we arrive at knowledge are hardly less wonderful than a discovery of these things themselves. In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside universal threat to make us recognize this common bound. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot, that's here, that's home, that's us.  The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on the mode of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
