Please join me in a moment of centering silence. The end gathering him is number 15. Good morning. Welcome to the First Unitarian Society of Madison. This is a community where curious seekers gather to explore spiritual, ethical, and social issues in an accepting and nurturing environment. Modern universalism supports the freedom of conscience of each individual as together. We seek to be a force for good in the world. I'm Maureen Friend and on behalf of the congregation, I'd like to extend a special welcome to visitors.  Newcomers are encouraged to stay for our fellowship hour after the service, so visit us in the library, which is directly across from me and through those center doors. Bring your drinks, bring your questions. Members of our staff and laymen's ministry will be on hand to welcome you. You may also look for persons holding teal coffee cups. These are FUS members who are knowledgeable about our faith and about our community and who would love to visit with you. Is John Powell here this morning? He'll be in later. Okay, so experience guides are generally available. John's one of those. To give a building tour after each service. So if you'd like to learn more about this sustainably designed auditorium and our National Landmark Meeting House, please meet near the large glass window on the left side of this auditorium immediately following the service. We welcome kids to stay for the duration of the service, but if either you or your child feels the need to get up and move around, there's a child haven just behind the glass on my right side, and the loja out there, the hallway is also a good place to hear and see the services. So right now is a good time to turn off your cell phone, and I'd like to acknowledge those people who helped our services run smoothly. The lay minister today is Tom Boykoff, the person who agreed to do so warmly is Patty Witty. We have four ushers today, Brian Kahnis, Tom Dolmich, Marty Hollis, and Nancy Daly. Biss Nitschke made the coffee for us, and like I said before, John is our tour guide. Please take note of the announcements in the red floors. That's the insert in the order of your service, which describe upcoming events of the society and provide more information about today's activities. Again, welcome. We hope that today's service will stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and stir your spirit. Into this house of worship, come in and find peace and unrest. Inspiration and aspiration, acceptance and challenge, come in and find light for your darkness, a friend's touch for your loneliness, music to stir your souls. Come in and let your heart sing for all the blessings that are yours on this fine, fair morning. I invite you to rise in body and spirit for the lighting of our chalice. And Maureen, if you would do the honors, please join me in the words of affirmation printed in your program. We come to this time and this place to rediscover the gift of free religious community. To renew our faith in the holiness, goodness, and beauty of life. To reaffirm the way of the open mind and the responsible heart. To rekindle the flame of memory and replant the seeds of hope. To reclaim the vision of an earth more fair and with all her people want. And in the spirit of that oneness I invite you to turn to your neighbor in exchange with them a warm greeting. Please be seated. And so on this seasonably cool spring morning, with the robins parading on the thawing's turf and the crocus just beginning to poke its head above the ground. On this lovely morning, we pause to acknowledge the presence among us of two young souls who are just beginning their life's journey. At this time of seasonal transition, we welcome Miriam and Emmett's parents in welcoming them, their children, into our lives, into this, our spiritual home, and we offer these families our friendship and our support in the opportunities and the challenges that lie before them. We trust that the commitment to and love for each other is strong in the vanquish and lowny Langton families, and it is our sincere wish that these two youngsters will be blessed with secure homes, dependable caregivers, that they may enjoy the freedom to develop their own personalities and to shape their own unique destinies. Our tradition, Unitarian Universalism, holds that every person comes into this world fresh and unsullied possessing inherent worth and dignity. And so this morning, we would acknowledge that these children, Emmett and Miriam, are bona fide human beings with their own special gifts, with needs and feelings that matter just as much as any of ours. Although they have yet to fully unfold, they are already vital active participants in their family's home life, full partners in the work and play of living, and true heirs to all of our dreams and values. Dedication does not make these children full-fledged members of First Unitarian Society, for that is a choice that each of them must make for themselves when they attain the age of reason. But this ritual does affirm Miriam and Emmett's place in our hearts, and it affords them the special kind of emotional security and spiritual opportunity that a Unitarian Universalist congregation such as this one can provide. And so we are glad that moved by a sense of the blessings of parenthood and trust in this community, Greg and Courtney, Robin and David have chosen to express their values and their progressive religious faith through this ritual. And yet, ultimately, it is all of us, friends, relatives, teachers, not just parents, who are responsible for the teaching and nurture of these children. And so by presenting them to us today, their parents acknowledge that Emmett and Miriam are more than private treasures, but they are young souls in whom we all have a stake and for whom we all wish the best. On this day of great promise, we not only dedicate these lovely gifted youngsters, but we dedicate ourselves to them and to their interests and to their welfare. And now I invite our two families to come forward, join me up here on the stage. Somebody's talkative this morning. And I would invite you now to look to your insert and join me in repeating the words for the 9 a.m. dedication. You will see Emmett's and Miriam's names. For the gift of childhood, whose innocence, laughter and curiosity bring hope, joy and new understanding into our lives, we lift thankful hearts. We welcome Emmett and Miriam into this spiritual community and extend to their parents our love and support in the joys and challenges of caregiving. As these children grow, we will share with them our insights, our values and our dreams that they may enjoy the rich benefits of our religious heritage. And now I would like our children, those who are younger in age, to please stand. All of our kids. So my young friends, Miriam and Emmett, as you can see, are very young now, but they are already a part of this community. And in the future, you are going to have a chance, we hope, to get to know them better. And so we ask, will you befriend these children and do what you can to help them feel comfortable and welcome here at First Unitarian Society? If so, please say we will. Very good. Thank you. You may be seated. And also among us today are a number of people who bear a special close relationship to one or the other of these children. Would you please stand as I call out your name? Accompanying Miriam today are her grandparents, Cindy and Steve Venker, and Pam and Lee Erickson. And we have with us also Terry Venker. And Terry Jacobson could not be with us, but he is with us today in spirit. With Emmett, we have his grandparents, Larry and Rachel Langton. His other grandparents, Neil and Kelly Lowney. Not here? They are with us in spirit, I understand. Debbie and Joe Bossenberger. And they are with us in spirit as well. So my friends, you who are standing, do you take upon yourselves the privilege and responsibility to nurture, defend, and support the freedom and growing spirit of the child to whom you are related? Will you recognize this child's worth as a person and encourage them to speak truthfully and always from the heart? And will you share with them the best that is in you, the values and the dreams and the insights that have given your life meaning? And finally, will you help this youngster to understand not only his or her rights, but also the rights of others? If so, please say we will. Please be seated. And with Miriam, we have brother Elliot. And Elliot, will you try to be a good friend to your little sister so that you can help her to grow up safely?  I think he's kissing the foot, so that's a good sign. And we have Milo with us, almost invisible. And Milo, you're Emmett's older brother, aren't you? So Milo, will you try to be a good friend to your little brother and do what you can to help him grow up safely? I take that as a yes. And so now to the parents who have brought their children before us, Greg, Courtney, David, Robin. It is your privilege and obligation to provide an environment both of security and of challenge for your child to grow up in.  Will you respect as well as protect him or her and bestow your love as a free and unmerited gift? And do you also reaffirm your commitment to care for and to support one another as partners in life and in parenting? And if so, please say we will. So in the act of dedication, we use the symbolism of water as a sign of our common heritage. In our tradition, there is no suggestion of the washing away of inherited sin. We know that these children came into the world with all the limitations that are natural to our human species. But we also believe that they arrived here innocent. So water in this instance stands for vitality. We know it is the elixir of life and the source of all potential. And for purposes of today's celebration, a portion of this water has been saved from our annual water communion service that's held in late August, to which members of this community bring water from their travels across the continent and throughout the world. And so its use here today reminds us of our common bond with all-embracing, ever-sustaining nature. Name this child, Miriam Grace Fankl. We dedicate you in the name of truth, the promise of love, and in the fellowship of this community. Name this child, hey smiley, Emmy, Emmett Lowney Langton. We dedicate you in the name of truth, the promise of love, and in the fellowship of this community. May each of you be granted clarity of thought, integrity of speech, and above all, compassionate hearts. And as a token of their dedications, it is our practice to give each of these children a rosebud, a fragrant symbol of beauty, promise, and love. These roses have no thorns symbolizing the better world that we would give to our children if it were in our power. We know that the world is not altogether as lovely as these roses, but we hope that these children will learn to recognize the beauty and goodness that does exist, and that they will grow in wisdom and compassion and add their own beauty to the world. So as these rose unfolds in natural beauty, so may your lives unfold. We conclude our celebration with words from a former minister of First Unitarian Society, Kenneth Patton, after which we will bestow a little comfort item on our children. Kenneth Patton wrote, the child has come forth from the great womb of the earth. The child has come forth with stardust in his hair, with the rush of planets in his blood, with shining in his eyes like sunlight, with hands to help shape the world around him. When one baby is born, it is a symbol of all birth and all life, and therefore all must rejoice and all must smile, all must lose their hearts to the child. Blessed be and amen. And Dora would now like to present each of you with a comfort item that has been handmade by a member of our shawl ministry, and may you find comfort in it and remember our community as your children find warmth with these comfort items. And now as our families head back to their seats, I invite you to join me in singing together him number 338. Please be seated. We continue our service now with a personal observation by a man named Mark Jordan. He writes, the kidney donor lay half naked on the bed, covered to his waist by only a thin white sheet. He opened his eyes. He smiled groggily at me. Well, that's a pleasant surprise, I said. Hardly anyone smiles after coming out of surgery. All around us, nurses and surgical assistants counted needles and gleaming silver scalpels, and the surgeons monitored vital signs through glasses fitted with shining lights and magnifying lenses. I applied pads to the portable EKG, preparing the patient for transport to recovery. And as I did so, he continued smiling. It could have been the ketamine or the propofol in his system, and yet there seemed to be something genuinely tranquil about his expression. Aren't we the happy one, I said. Of course I am, he replied, I'm not sick. Well, that's true, I said. He was a firefighter. Had the slim, athletic frame of a man in his prime. The anesthesiologist gave me, you're just a nursing assistant, so get on with your job look. But I couldn't help continuing. I just have to ask, why did you do it? Some of the surgeons frowned disapprovingly, but I was only saying what was already on everybody's mind. Even the nurses stopped sorting instruments and paused to listen to his response. The patient's grin widened. Why did I do it? Oh. Faith, he said. Faith, faith in God, I asked. No, he said, in people. Faith in people, faith in all people. Before I could ask him to elaborate, the surgeons gave clearance for him to be wheeled into recovery. And in the hallway outside the operating room, I took off my mask and threw it in the trash, still thinking about the man's reply. And I asked myself, could I, who walk in the crowded city streets every day, could I, who are blind to everything but my destination, could I give the same answer that he gave? As I hold up in my studio apartment each night, eating ice cream and watching the news, do I have that kind of a connection with humanity?  And he'd responded by offering her one of his kidneys. He didn't even know this young woman. The exchange defied the basic laws of self-preservation. I walked down the hall and looked through the window of the operating room next door. On the table, the young girl was being prepped for surgery, orange swabs of sterile betadine were dripping down her skin, breathing tubes projected from her sleeping face. A nurse walked carefully past me, carrying a small container. And inside that container was the young girl's salvation. Friends, so good to have our talent share your gifts this morning. Students of European history pretty much agree that during the period stretching from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, the age of faith was gradually eclipsed by the age of facts. As part of this process, Ptolemaic astronomy, a system that had reigned unchallenged for a thousand years collapsed under the weight of the solid evidence supplied by Galileo's telescope. The result was what Thomas Kuhn famously called a paradigm shift in our understanding of the universe and of our place in it. A similar transformation was taking place in the field of jurisprudence. How do we know whether a person is guilty or innocent? Well, for centuries, the strategy employed by authorities to determine guilt or innocent was called trial by ordeal. In effect, those accused of heresy or of crime were put to the test, placed in conditions that would cause them either to drown or to be seriously burned. Why? Because it was believed that God would intervene in such circumstances and preserve the innocent. If the person suffered death or grievous harm in the ordeal, well, it was because God had vouchsafed their guilt. Let God decide was the principle by which justice was served. But in time, trial by ordeal fell out of favor and a new methodology was adopted for determining guilt or innocence, first in England, then on the continent, hard evidence, the testimony of credible witnesses, for instance, that took the place of divine intervention. Trial by jury, well, that put God on the sidelines and placed judgment in the hands of men, Joe LePore writes, which was definitely an improvement, but still, it made a lot of people rather nervous.  We must recognize and we must reject the lies preferred by priests and the dispensers of fables. We must strive to see the world as it really is, Lucretius said. Only by liberating ourselves from all these harmful illusions can we begin to lead truly happy lives because, Lucretius said, knowing the way that things really are awakens in us a sense of wonder. These days, however, a surprising number of people seem to be factually challenged, either unable or unwilling to come to terms with what the evidence clearly suggests. No, undocumented immigrants do not commit crimes at a higher rate than legal citizens. Anthropogenic climate change is not a Chinese hoax. The geological and biological evidence does not support the creation account that we find in Genesis. Donald Trump did not win the popular vote, nor was Sweden attacked by ISIS-inspired terrorists on February the 18th. So are we witnessing an end to the reign of fact? Well, there are, of course, reasons why some people simply cannot accept, as Lucretius said, the way things really are. They may do this because they know that certain facts might have the power to undermine their dearly held belief system. If reading the rocks contradicts Genesis, then biblical literalists want no part of earth science and its body of knowledge. For fundamentalists, divinely revealed scripture will always provide a truer picture of reality than anything that science can put on the table. Indeed, if the rocks contradict the biblical account, then why Lee Satan must have been messing with the rocks? For those whose confidence rests solely on this edifice, the edifice of the Bible, even the slightest inconsistency is impermissible because if there is one inconsistency, then there may be others and pretty soon the whole structure begins to totter. Tensions of this sort clashes between faith-based and fact-centered systems of knowing. That's nothing new. It's been going on for a long time. The 17th century Jewish philosopher Baroque Spinoza cast his lot with the latter, with fact-centered systems of knowing. And that caused him in the 17th century to be viewed as an atheist rather than as the empiricist that he really was. Spinoza wrote, philosophy has no end in view other than the truth. Faith, on the other hand, looks for nothing but obedience and piety. But the foregoing does not adequately describe what's going on today outside of the sphere of religion proper. Truthiness is the term Stephen Colbert coined to describe this phenomena, later updated by Kellyanne Conway when she referred to certain alternative facts that she had at her disposal. The Lord's infallible word isn't what is at stake here, defending the gospel against challenges by skeptics and disbelievers. But the polarization we see today is kind of similar. And once again, the pursuit of truth seems to have become something of a zero sum game. Either you have it or you don't. But the contest now is over the facts themselves. Which are true? Which are false? Who are the truth tellers? Who are the bald-faced liars? What accounts for this state of affairs in our scientific world? There are a couple of pieces to the puzzle that may help to explain. First, as Joe LePore tells us, there is simply data. Lots and lots of data. The place once held by facts, she writes, is being overtaken by data. And it's all available to us on the internet 24-7. So if we have a bone to pick, if we have a particular pet idea to defend, data to reinforce that position is just a couple of clicks away. Now a good bit of it is, of course, inaccurate or incomplete. Some of it is false. Some of it is malicious information planted by Russian hackers. But when we Google no LePore writes, we no longer take responsibility for the validity of our own beliefs. And we lack the capacity to see how all those bits of data fit into a larger whole. Essentially, we forfeit our reason. If the problem begins with this surfative data, it certainly doesn't end there. For we are all subject, all of us indiscriminately. We are all subject to certain mental habits that color our perception of the facts. According to Ohio State University's Gleb Sopersky, two psychological processes in particular compromise our ability to accurately assess evidence. First, he says there is the phenomenon called anchoring. Anchoring, by which we develop a belief based on our first impressions, our initial contact with an idea. And so once a belief is anchored, dislodging it is very, very difficult. The first exposure conditions all the content we receive moving forward, including any disconfirming evidence we may happen upon, Sopersky explains. And then there is what he calls the halo effect, which causes us to idealize certain individuals and to discount any information that might take them down a peg or two. Negative facts about that person, they're treated as lies or as slanders hatched by jealous or vindictive enemies. And so for those who believe in the president and are convinced that he shares their interests, nothing will cause them to waver. Not a history of sexual exploitation, a series of business bankruptcies or a string of broken promises. Come what may, President Trump will remain the white knight in shining armor, the halo firmly in place over his head. Now some of us may say, we don't treat our heroes like that, the people we admire. We're not guilty of this halo effect, but I suspect that we are all subject to this thing called anchoring. Because when we choose one source of information over another, Rachel Maddow over Sean Hannity, Nation Magazine over the weekly standard, well that affects our beliefs. Having been exposed early on to a particular point of view, we are likely to adopt it as our own and maintain it even when the evidence might point another way. So for instance, we were told for many, many years that consuming fatty foods was bad for us. And even after nutritional science concluded that some fatty foods have definite dietary value, a lot of people continue to eschew them. That's called anchoring. And then finally, there is the act of lying itself, playing false with the facts as it were. Writing in the Scientific American, Jeremy Adam Smith acquaints us with three different kinds of lies that we can tell each other.    White lies are generally altruistic and they are told to spare somebody else pain or embarrassment. This much is obvious.  But then Adam says, there are blue lies. Blue lies are kind of a hybrid variety that is altruistic and selfish at the same time. So when one utters a falsehood to further the interest of the group to which they belong, they are telling a blue lie. So if you belong to a sports team that cheats and you lie about the cheating, yes, it's unethical, but you are helping your team to win. Blue lies are altruistic in that they create stronger bonds of social solidarity, but only among those who belong to your group. Blue lies pull some people together and they drive others away, Smith writes. And thus they can become very potent weapons in intergroup conflict. And blue lies have become a commonplace in contemporary political culture where they are better known as alternative facts. So these then are some of the social and psychological forces that help to explain the current decline in the currency of fact. But the problem is actually more complex and it's deeper than this because ironically, when there ceases to be widespread agreement over what constitutes a valid fact, then people begin gradually to lose faith. And it can be very challenging to live in what is increasingly becoming a faithless world. To understand what we're up against, I need to talk just momentarily about the nature of faith and how it really does differ from belief or conviction. When Henry David Thoreau derided it, writing that there is no creed so false but faith can make it true, that he gave voice to a common misconception. Thoreau, like many of us, equated faith with exceptional credulity, with an intellectual stance that cannot withstand scrutiny and examination. But the biblical scholar Gunther Bornkamp points out that this is not the way that faith was understood by the apostle Paul, for instance, or by members of the early Christian community. The Greek term that they used was pistos, which literally meant in the Greek trustworthy or that which you can rely upon. It had nothing to do with general opinions and convictions, Borcombe argues. Truly understood, faith is this inner attitude, a disposition not of the mind, but of the soul. The progressive-minded Roman Catholic theologian, Hans Kung, put it this way. Faith is not an irrational, blind, daring leap. It is a trust that is responsible to the eyes of reason and grounded in reality itself. It does not deny the way things really are. Exactly, faith has more to do with trust than with belief, per se, and this is why today we are suffering from a crisis of faith as well as a crisis of fact. What do the opinion polls tell us about faith in America's major institutions? At almost every level, we find extraordinarily high degrees of mistrust and cynicism toward government, toward religious organizations, corporations, the major media, schools, teachers, and even today the scientific community. Just about the only entities that receive high approval ratings today are first responders and the military owing to the extraordinarily positive publicity that they routinely receive. Now, understandably, there are some valid reasons for the collapse of faith in our vital institutions. Where government is concerned, think Vietnam, think Watergate, think the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, think Congressional gridlock, the nation's banks.  But this steady drumbeat of negative reporting and commentary has also played a role causing many Americans to conclude that these institutions are incorrigible and such a belief is now anchored in many people's minds and it will be very hard to root it out. And this loss of faith in the institutions that serve us then creates a more generalized negativity in the public mind. We lose faith in each other. The faith that that young kidney donor still retained. We no longer trust that despite our differences we are all in this together. And the mutual disdain felt by America's urban and rural residents, that reflects this erosion of faith between and among the citizenry. Faith is, as I mentioned, it is an inner attitude. It is a way of being in the world. But with each new disappointment, with each fresh injury, it strength wanes the scope of our faithlessness expands. Now today we know that we are in the throes of a serious opioid epidemic. And we know that many Americans have come to rely on antidepressants and sedatives just to get through the day. And such developments reveal a basic insecurity about life itself and about the human prospect. Michael Ignatieff says that we are currently living through an extraordinary, if largely imperceptible, destruction of faith in the future. The list of what needs to be done he writes here and now. The list of what needs to be done to make modernity fulfill its emancipatory promise, that list is long and accomplishing any of it depends on the faith we have in the capacity of men and women to work together to secure their objectives. So what's the answer? How do we begin restoring people's faith in the American project? Well to begin with I think we can all try to become more aware of our own biases and the mechanisms that our minds use to create and to maintain those biases. This would allow us I believe to become more humble about our convictions and to adopt what the 20th century philosopher Karo Popper called an attitude of reasonableness. I may be wrong, you may be right and by any effort we may together get nearer to the truth. That's the attitude of reasonableness. Easier said than done of course. But as more and more of us are able to model such open-mindedness, others may in fact begin to emulate it. And there's another, a second kind of openness that we can begin to practice. One that the Jewish theologian Martin Buber recommends in the name of faith.  Real faith means holding ourselves open to the unconditional mystery which we encounter in every sphere of our life and which cannot be compressed into any formula. What he's saying here is that when it comes right down to it every human being is something of a mystery. And so to have faith in that person means to adopt an open receptive attitude toward that mystery. Because if we presume to know everything there is to know about a particular person or a particular class of persons, then we strip them of their mystery and in the process called into question their inherent worth and dignity. I know who you are. And so why should I listen to your story? Why should I entertain your ideas? In honoring another's mystery, we open ourselves to new possibilities and even to new life, which in Martin Buber's thinking is really a profound act of faith. And then finally, we must not allow ourselves to succumb to what the late forester church called the sin of sophisticated resignation. The sin of sophisticated resignation. As astute, well-informed people appalled by the state of the world, we may be tempted from time to time to throw up our hands and simply say, ain't it awful? Isn't it bad?  And yes, there is a good deal out there that we might judge to be awful, but dwelling on that fact only contributes to a loss, a further loss of our collective faith. So let's make an effort to lift up some of the more positive contributions that the institutions we depend upon are making. Our schools, our businesses, our public servants, our faith communities, without which our lives would be so much poor. These gifts aren't that hard to find if we take the time to look for them. So let me conclude with a few words from the esteemed African-American minister, teacher and mentor to Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman. Thurman writes, during these turbulent times, we must remind ourselves repeatedly that life goes on. Because this, at times, we are apt to forget. The mass attack of disillusionment and despair distilled out of the collapse of hope that may leave us with this sense of futility. But that is a great deception. There is no need for us to fear evil, Thurman says. There is every need to understand what it does, how it operates in the world, what it draws upon to sustain itself. But the evil of the world must not be allowed to move from without to within. To drink in the beauty that is within our reach. To clothe one's life with simple deeds of kindness. This is always the ultimate answer to the great deception. Blessed be God, amen. You will note from your program that our offering in its entirety this weekend will be devoted to the Unitary Universal Service Committee, and you certainly can learn more about their work from the insert that was included in your program today. Please be generous. We gather each week as a community of memory and of hope, and we bring to this place our joys and sometimes our broken selves. We seek here a place where these experiences of ours might be celebrated and lifted up and shared. In our Cares of the Congregation book today, there were two entries. Marty Hollis offers thoughts and prayers on the 12th anniversary of her mother's death. So we join Marty in mourning that loss. And then thoughts and prayers for the family of our aunt, Mary Paul, who passed away on March 27th after a six year battle with cancer. Not sure who entered that particular one, but the family of Mary Paul, we celebrate them and care for them in this time of loss as well. And we also hold in our hearts any unexpressed joys or sorrows that might have occurred to you during the course of today's service. Let us now experience just a moment of silence and the spirit of empathy and of hope. By virtue of our brief time together today, may our burdens be lightened and our joys expanded. Please join me now in singing our closing hymn number 341. Please be seated for the benediction on the postlude. Sophia Lyon Fos was a notable educator in our tradition during the 20th century. These are her words. The religious way is the deep way. The way with a growing perspective and an expanding view. The religious way sees what physical eyes alone fail to see, the intangibles at the heart of every phenomenon. The religious way touches universal relationships and goes high and wide and deep. It expands our feelings of kinship with all that is. We have therefore gathered this morning as a company committed to this way, to the religious way. Blessed be and amen. How can we be so happy? Happy? Come let's make some r-


You two, what's up? It's all right, man, it's a good day. Sun's out, 60 degrees.   One of the biggest unknowns. Hands off, I got no clue what I'm doing. As always, I'm taking you on the journey. We're gonna take a trip in Sacramento and a trip down Mike's brain today, but first we gotta get legs. So I haven't weighed myself today, but diet went pretty good. Considering the Super Bowl was this weekend, I didn't do all that. I had chicken thigh. So I'm gonna squat, deadlift, light legs, and then me and Seabass are gonna take you on an adventure, man. Give this thing a thumbs up.  Bigger chat is, I guess, entrepreneurship. And that's really what I wanna chat with you all guys about. It seems really trendy and it seems really cool to be an entrepreneur and invest and build your own path and create your own products and create your own content. And don't get me wrong, I think it's cool, but I think it's a little bit glorified on the internet, right? You're not just gonna wake up, grind, murder, kill, create a YouTube video and become a millionaire and have Playboy models and Lamborghinis in your driveway. So for me, it's something I fell into because my ADHD didn't allow me to go to college. I tried and I was a good student. I had a 3.7, I think I was smart and I could study, but it just drove me wild. I wanna rip my skin off in class. So I dropped out. And even before that, I maybe told the story a couple of times, but maybe not super in-depth. On my first job, I was in seventh grade and I guess you'd call it problem solving. So I was on the committee for the dances. We'd do a Halloween dance or whatever for the junior highs in the area. And I was on the committee to make the Halloween one. It was me and my boy Chris, one of my best friends. And maybe other people, but. And we were in there and you gotta hire the DJ and get the decorations and get the snacks and bop, beep, boop, bop, send out the invitations. But the DJ costs like 1500 bucks or something, right? For a four-hour kids dance. And we hired them, we looked up the reviews or whatever. We got them there. And then afterwards, I think we did a debrief from the dance and me and my buddy and all the kids thought the DJ sucked. And we're like, we paid this cat 1500 bucks. And I went to my teacher, me and Chris, said, all right, what if we DJ the next one and you just pay us 500 bucks? But we're gonna play the slappers and we're gonna, the kids are gonna have a good time. And from that day on for the next six years, I began DJing weddings, dances, junior high, high school, anything I could in the area. Couple house parties that people pay us for, for a Christmas and birthdays. Me and my friends started asking for lights and fog machines and DJ equipment and speakers instead of gifts. And I basically, I guess, became an entrepreneur then.     Cause every failure I've made or every success I've made has always been because my decisions and what I do. And then I can look back and adjust or I could keep going or I could quit or I could flip the script or I could pivot. This one, the day-to-day is off me. And I'm putting a chunk of change into a spot that is an adventure. And so the risk goes even higher. Any entrepreneurship, what they don't talk to you about online is what? 90 plus percent of businesses fail in the first two years. If you are one of the whatever, five or 10% to make it, how many of those people are making the money that you think you're gonna make? And that's all entrepreneurs and all businesses. It's not as cool as you think. You're stressed all the time, you gotta do jobs, you don't wanna do all the time.   And I don't film it, cause I don't want pity.  Like that ain't fun. And I don't wanna exploit our members. That's just normal day stuff. And I don't wanna pat on the back for that either. That's what I signed up for. This business we're opening is a new genre, a new world. We're gonna meet the guy behind the ideas and hopefully I can feed him some ideas and help when I can. A little bit more money and a little bit more riskier. Libby O'Saw. Brunch, party, weekend party, daytime party, food, a little bit of drinks, which is in my style but I do love food and I do love community. We're right next to the King Stadium and we'll hopefully be opening up Q2 of 2023. My dude Nick's taking the reins. He's the leader in all this. We'll chat and you'll guys learn to know him in the vlogs a little bit. We just wanted to give you a teaser. So I guess a restaurant tour, which I never thought. I never wanted, I never thought. But this is like a big project. So we'll show you the square foot. We wanna kinda show you before and after. We don't wanna leak too much right now. But it's gonna be dope. It's gonna be dope. A little bit more construction to do. A little bit more planning to do. And I'm just trying to give tips where I can because again, I've never run a restaurant. I'm just an idea guy and a problem solver but branding, marketing, content. So I'm hoping where I can. But I think it'd be cool. So if you're in Sacramento, maybe we'll figure something out where you drop my name and get the hookup.  Help you all. Because without y'all, I couldn't do this. And now I guess I'll own a pancake. It is upper class though.   So here we go. Although I was just an employee at Slingshot, it felt very entrepreneurial. Although my money wasn't on the line, my time and energy was, I was the first employee ever there. And the company had only been around a year when I started. So this is kind of the only world I know. But the restaurateur world, the bar world, the night scene world, I know nothing. And again, my money's just kind of up for grabsies. I'm gonna help as much as I can into the areas and departments that I know, right? Marketing, maybe apparel merch, et cetera, et cetera. I know nothing about food. I know how to cook my own dinner.  But hopefully it's just a cool adventure and I'll be able to tag you guys in. We're gonna eat post-workout meals there as a team. Maybe have team meetings there. I don't plan on being at the parties but I'm sure we'll get some clips just to show you guys. And again, if you're in SAC, we're a couple months out but I'm gonna find ways to support you all through this. So if you're in SAC, maybe you can get a little discount, no promises, but I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna see what I can do. I appreciate you guys. Morning after coming Q2 2023 Sacramento, California. 3sb.co, as always, clothes available. This tea is literally my favorite from the drop and it's up right now. I think we have most sizes left, but quantity is low. So check that out. If you're in Sacramento, man, Thirst Street Barbell, you know where to find me. You know where to find us. And I'm gonna hit the road. So we over me maybe a part of something bigger yourself always driven by culture and community. So I'm like, I'm out.

Hello everyone, welcome to a video lecture on nodal or node analysis in a electrical network. Myself, K. R. Biradar, Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Walton Institute of Technology, Singapore. Let us start with the learning outcomes first. At the end of this session, you will be able to apply nodal analysis to electrical network and find voltage and currents. These are the contents. Start with introduction, nodal analysis and different points to remember for nodal analysis and there is a concept called super node. And what are the different steps to be followed for nodal analysis, problem and lastly references. Introduction, nodal analysis is based on the Kirchhoff's current law. In this method, one node is assumed as reference node and its potential is assumed to be 0. In nodal analysis, we need to assume one of the node is reference node, its voltage is 0. This node is also called zero potential node or base node or datum node. In the other nodes, the node voltages are measured with respect to base node. These nodes are called major nodes. You can see this diagram. It consists of, there is a reference node, this is also called datum node and B and C are major nodes. These node voltages VB for node B is measured with respect to this datum node and also at node C, the voltage is VC which is measured with respect to this reference node. Common point of all the branches are considered as reference node. The B and C are the major nodes. It is important to note in node analysis, the branch B to E is considered as the entire branch. From here to here, we need to consider as an entire branch, but this A is not another node. Similarly branch C to H is considered as the independent branch, hence node D is not considered as the major node. From C to H, it is an independent branch, hence this node D is not considered to be as a major node. Generally, the nodes where three or more branches meet are the major nodes. You can see this node B will have three branches connected, node C will also have three branches connected. Therefore, these two are the major nodes whereas A and D have connected, only two branches will not be considered as a nodes. In the figure shows the direction of the branch currents and the voltages, node voltages. Node voltages are VB and VC, branch currents are I1, I2, I3 and here I3, I4 and Ix due to this current source. Apply KCL at the nodes, all the outgoing currents are considered to be negative sign. I1 is going out, I2 is also going out, I3 is also going out. Therefore, minus I1, minus I2, minus I3 equal to 0 at node B. Similarly, at node C, I3 is incoming, I4 is outgoing and Ix is incoming. Therefore, I3 plus Ix minus I4 equal to 0. If I want to write currents I2, I3, I4, we need to consider the resistors R2 between B and C. The B node have a voltage VB and node C have voltage VC. If I want to write this I3, I3 equal to it is flowing from node B to C. Therefore, VB is positive and VC is negative, VB minus VC divided by R2. Similarly, current across R3 will be VB minus 0 because this is V equal to 0, a reference node, VB minus 0 divided by R3 that is equal to VB by R3. Now branch across CG, we consider that is current across R4, VC minus 0 divided by R4 that is also equal to VC by R4. Between B and E, we have considered one voltage source. This voltage source also considered while writing the I1, I1 is flowing from B to E, but this voltage source is tries to force current against I1. Therefore, Vx we need to take minus sign. Therefore, I1 equal to VB minus Vx minus 0 that is reference rho divided by the resistance across this is R1. This also equal to VB minus Vx divided by R1. What are the different files to remember while applying the nodal analysis? First one is while assuming branch currents, make sure that each unknown branch current is considered at least once, we need to consider all the branch currents. Second one convert the voltage source present into their equivalent current sources for nodal analysis. If I want to apply these nodal analysis, I need to have only current source that is why convert that voltage source into current source. Second one follows the same sign convention, currents entering at node R to be considered as positive while currents leaving the node R to be considered as negative that means incoming currents to a node are positive and outgoing currents to a node are negative. As far as possible, select the directions of various branch currents leaving the respective nodes. Supernode in the figure the nodes V2 and V3 are directly connected through voltage source without any circuit element between V2 and V3 there is no circuit elements like resistor capacitor inductor instead there is a voltage source. The reason surrounding a voltage source which connects the two node directly is called supernode. This is actually supernode. Now consider a loop including supernode as shown in figure 5. We need to form a loop by using this supernodes and the voltage source. Here V2 and V3 and their sign conventions, now you apply the KVL to the loop.  First one identify the nodes and choose the node voltages like V1, V2, V3 etc. Second one choose the currents preferably leaving the node at each branch connected each node. Third one apply KCL at each node with proper sign convention. Third one if there are supernodes obtain the equations directly in terms of node voltages which are directly connected through voltage source just we have we have seen this. Fifth one obtain the equation for the each branch current in terms of node voltages and substitute in the equations obtained in step 3. We need to find the branch currents in terms of node voltage and substitute those in step number 3. Sixth one solve all the equations obtained in step 4 and 5 simultaneously to obtain the required node voltage. Using the equations obtained from 4 and 5 we can find the unknown voltage and the currents. Let us see a problem for the circuit shown find the branch currents I1, I2, I3 and node voltages V1 and V2. This is the electrical circuit having three resistance and the two current sources. We have marked this as V1 and this is V2 these two are the major nodes. There is a reference node here which is connected to ground which value equal to 0. And currents which are leaving from this node is I1 and I2 and from this node it is I3 and 5 ampere. Pause the video and try to solve and find the answer. I think you might have solved this problem let us see the answer. Change node analysis at node 1 or first node what are the currents coming to this node 3 ampere is coming and I1, I2 is leaving plus 3 minus I1 minus I2 equal to 0. At node 2 I2 is coming I3 is leaving and 5 ampere is also leaving I2 minus I3 minus 5 equal to 0. Now I1 equal to that is current across this branch is V1 divided by R that is V1 by 6. Similarly, I2 equal to current is flowing from first node to second node. First node voltage is V1 it is higher potential V1 this is at lower potential minus V2 divided by branch resistance is 3 ohm. Similarly, I3 equal to V2 minus 0 divided by 2 ohm substitute to these I1, I2, I3 in these equations. So, the plus 3 minus I1 is V1 by 6 minus I2 is V1 minus V2 by 3 equal to 0. So, if you simplify it becomes 0.5 V1 minus 0.33 V2 equal to 0. Similarly, at node 2 equation I2 is V1 minus V2 by 3 minus I3 is V2 by 2 equal to 5 is also equal to 0.33 V1 minus 0.83 V2 equal to 0. In these two equations we can find the value of V1 and V2 after finding V1 and V2 we can substitute in these equations we can find the currents I1 I2 I3. The voltage V1 and V2 equal to V1 equal to 2.72 volt and V2 equal to minus 4.9 volt substitute these V1 and V2 will get I1 equal to V1 by 6 which is equal to 0.45 ampere I2 equal to V1 minus V2 by 3 which is equal to 2.54 substitute V1 and V2 will get this answer I3 equal to V2 by 3 which is equal to 2.45 ampere these are the references used to prepare the above ppt thank you.


Today we're opening a mystery package, I think, I don't know what this is, but we're about to find out. What's up guys, we're back with another epic video and I got a package in the mail and I'm not sure what it is, I opened it up and saw a note and it seems to have a bunch of random product in it, so we're gonna open it up as a mystery package because I don't know what it is, but first we have a giveaway. I will be giving away two apprentice illusion magicians and two evil heroa dusted golds from the newest legendary duel of season three. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, turn on notifications and let me know what you think about the mystery package. I'm really excited because I really have no idea what this is, I don't remember if they told me they were sending this or not, I guess we'll find out in just a second, so let's get into it. First we have a note, let's see what this says. Ruxen, thanks for opening the kybacorp mystery package. This is a kybacorp mystery package, three booster packs, seven pharaohs collection booster packs, two secret rare kybacorp random pack, one deck box, structure deck, paper mat, pack of hollows, card sleeve and kybacorp item, okay? Tell them to go shop with us at kybacorp2021etc.com, also subscribe to our YouTube at realitim, all one word. These mystery packages contain the same amount of stuff. I didn't load drawers up lol, okay I guess, I mean that's up for interpretation, but they say they didn't, also limited to three until I get one more in stock, okay so there's only three of these apparently, so we have one of four maybe, I'm guessing there's three more, so let's see what's inside. The first item is a structure deck, this doesn't look like a any structure deck I've ever seen. We have a structure deck dark side of the rainbow, um, hello? What is this?  I'm very confused, we're about to open it up and find out, let's see what's in a dark side of the rainbow structure deck, where's this custom, I'm like what is this? Okay this is certainly a fake card, rainbow dark dragon, I mean it looks pretty cool I'd say, but there's no foil or anything unfortunately, that would be pretty nice.  Maybe it's like a custom card and wait, maybe there is foil, wait, there's like secret, but it like doesn't shine, it's like okay it barely shines, it does shine a little bit, so it's sort of there. Are these just like the fake versions of the Tirol like are all the new crystal beast cards that are coming out? Like I'm so confused because like when we open for the blue eyes while dragging the other day, go check that video out. This is a real card in there, I don't know if this is actually what it's called, but this seems like it's the deck for crystal beast, but it's not actually out in English yet, maybe they actually just put the right or the correct names on it, very interesting, so we get an early version of the crystal beast. This is weird, this is like, I didn't know, I don't know what to think about this, it's like not cards that are out in the OCG, but they're not on the TCG, but they're in English, but they're fake, but they're real cards that are coming out, okay this is an old card, so some of this stuff is old, but I guess this is just a crystal beast like deck early, very weird, I mean, okay that's kind of hollow, very weird, I don't know what to think about this, pretty cool and also weird, like it's cool to see these like already, even though they're not out yet, these do not go around very well, okay trap strap, is that a real name, trap strap, that's odd, yeah that's very odd, okay, all right I'm not sure what to think about that, let me know what you guys think in the comments of that deck, so I guess the real card, they didn't seem to have weird names or anything, so it's just like the real versions, but they're like in the bad old, you know, fake quality, I guess, weird, let's just keep going, item number two, what is this, oh we have a, one of the mats, okay, what's the mat gonna be, it's one of the paper mats, so this came out of like a structure deck at some point, structure deck, a cyber strike, so it's the cyber strike play mat, I never really like these because they don't lay down very well, you play on them and then they kind of like do like this and stuff, you know, in the middle of it, so not a huge fan of them, but very cheap, so affordable if you don't want to spend any money on your mat, okay, we have some penny sleeves, I can always use these, card sleeves are always useful for like shipping cards and stuff like that, so that's cool in the mystery packets, let's see what else, we have, oh uh oh, anime cards, what's it gonna be, let's see what we will get, I don't know, so far we've had two sets of fake cards technically, I mean these aren't real technically, but they're anime cards, so like it's kind of accepted at that point, it's okay for that, let's see, we have the wing dragon of raw, very beautiful, the red eyes black dragon, the silver fang, flames wardsman, the giant soldier of stone, feral imp, change of heart, I really like the change of heart, I really like how the anime card and they just look cool, you know like all artwork and then you know there's not like borders or anything, I mean there's a slight border, but vampire lord, we got the year for the iron knight, we've got the graceful charity, card of sanctity, draw six cards, man-eater bug, time wizard, we've got a guilford, the lightning, sangan, genzo, pot of greed, panthe warrior, we've got garland doll for, no that's not him, it's a garland doll, this is the ultimate rare guy, this is like, it's a similar gene name, I can never remember, oh we've got mammoth graveyard, this is spellbinding circle, the original art, spellbinding circle, because that's you know the exodian, the ocg hat is this behind it, the triangle-y one, we've got the meteor bee dragon or something, Celtic guardian, dark hole, black skull dragon, we've got the premature bear with the x on it, which is the ocgr work which is pretty cool, no negate attack, we've got, I'm not just Celtic guardian, the grande moth, and then we've got a copycat, where's the, where's the pecanium moth, oh wait, say where, pecanium moth needs to be in here with the grande, that'd be pretty sick, we'll put grande back there because he's pretty grande, but wait, 50% of you guys are not subscribed to the channel according to this graph, so go down below and click that subscribe button, so it's a deck box, let's do these cards I guess, so we have these cards here, these are, these are also fake cards, I'm so confused, I guess, I mean are they fake or custom or like, I don't understand, I mean this is like, looks kind of customy, you know with that really nice looking foil actually, it looks pretty cool, we've got a like, collector rare dark magician and blue eyes, I guess that's what that's supposed to be, it's like, I got that same collector rare like, shatter sort of foil look to it, and then a really beautiful, I don't know what foil this would be called, but it looks nice, we should add that to the TCG, it looks really good, what's it gonna be in here, oh, these are a, oh, hunter dragon, so this is actually a real card, so these are the first couple of real cards I think, dark magician from MVP one and hunter dragon secret rare from the dragons of legend complete series, okay, real Yu-Gi-Oh cards, that's a good start, these appear to be real from what I can tell, so let's see if these are real as well, they said their store's on Etsy, I definitely feel like I'm buying on Etsy, like a lot of fake stuff, a lot of real stuff, you know, just some different versions of stuff we have, let's just see, okay, there's a red eyes B dragon, and I will both say black now, red eyes black dragon, so they're both the collector rare look, another red eyes, this is like a red eyes mystery pack, we've got a black rose dragon, red eyes black dragon different, we have all the, wait, there's two of those, we've got two red eyes, okay, red eyes dark dragoon, this looks like a trap card, it doesn't look like a fusion, it looks like a trap card, I set my trap card, I activate red eyes dark dragoon, in response to your attack, and then a starless dragon, can you imagine that, flipping up a red eyes dark dragoon, that'd be kind of funny, so honestly, I don't know what to feel about this mystery bag, I guess if you want cards like this, but it's, I don't know, I'm not the biggest fan of like fake cards personally, I like, I enjoy opening them and looking at them if they're like weird, but like these are like real cards that are just fake, you know what I mean, it's just like a fake version of a real card, so it's like, it feels weird, I don't know, all right, let's see what this one is, the god of obelisk, the son of god, this is what I'm talking about, the son of god dragoon, I think that's actually the ocg name though, the god of obelisk, azote of the forbidden one, saint dragon, the god of osiris, I can't remember what his actual name is, we've got a left arm, right arm, right leg, and left leg, so we've got a bunch of those shattery foil ones, so okay, all right, more cool stuff, more cool stuff, here is a deck box, we also have one more thing after this, actual booster packs, is that what's going on here, actual booster packs, so we've got legendary duels, duels from the deep, possibly one of the worst sets in yugioh history, it's very bad, we've got three packs of that, so three packs, all bad, so not that great there, but let's see what else there is, so far, I don't know their pricing, but like, not gonna lie, there's not a lot making me like, oh, we really need to buy, you know, get another one of these, you know what I mean, because it's mostly fake cards, which you might like though, so if you're interested in that, I guess, but then like, you know, this is a bunch of random super rears, okay, I mean that's kind of cool, called the mummies actually worth a couple bucks I think actually, so a couple of cards there, we got a, so these look like mystery lots or something, or something like that, I don't know, but I'm guessing you're not gonna get anything too crazy in these, you know, in a mystery lot, oh there's an obelisk, we know that from the back, so this is legendary collection, or yugioh's legendary deck, so you know, it was widely distributed, but it's still an obelisk, that's cool, and token is cool, and then a couple of rears, which you know, it's just rare, so nothing too crazy there, a couple more of these, let's see if there's anything like crazy, like so far like, I'd say we haven't pulled anything over like a dollar or two, let's see if there's anything else, token that's pretty nice, red dark magician I think is like three dollars, so that'll be like our best card so far, and of course, you know I like red dark magician, because this used to be my profile picture for YouTube and everything, so pretty cool card there, tokens are always nice to grab, those are always nice, so that was probably the best card we've pulled so far, is that red dark magician, okay we've got another rare, a blue eyes white dragon, that's MVP one, this I think is around a dollar, something like that, marbled right, these are just literally comments out of lead nine, so those are, those are worth less than zero dollars, but you know, blue eyes white dragon, that's pretty nice, okay so every time they've given at least a decent card, so like a one dollar card, but nothing insane yet, I don't know if there's like ratios on this stuff, we got a sniper, so that's also from Yugi's, oh no that's legendary collection one, I think that's even easier to find than Yugi's legendary decks, more legendary collection nine, I don't think they even told me they were sending these, because I don't remember this at all, obelisk the tormentor, I know they all have all the gods with different versions, that's kind of funny, so mismatched set there, okay, very nice, very nice, two to go, and then we have a couple more things to end it, well we of course have those packs, so I guess we can open for the Ghost Ruler from Endroplet, there's a nice like inversion of the Wing Dragon raw from the Tens, speaking of Tens guys, who's excited about the Tens, they're coming out soon, we are gonna have a discount code with Sasiado, so don't forget like if you're gonna buy some of those, check out the discount code affiliate link, it sports me, I appreciate if you guys do that, also it's gonna be a great set, it's gonna be a really great set, so hopefully we'll have some good luck, okay another Wing Dragon raw, so a lot of guide cards in that, that's a LDK too, okay those guide cards have just been printed a lot, there's a lot of different versions, so far not really the craziest mystery box ever, but you know that's, oh giant hand, there it is, there's one, they must have pulled one out of this box and put it in there, okay two packs to go, but yeah that's how it goes with mystery packs, especially like hand packaged ones especially, you know there's not a lot of, oh this shark got an ultra rare, that thing is way off centered, oh my goodness, but ultra rare, we'll take it, yeah they're not all great and not saying this is like the worst thing ever, but yeah it's so far not that exciting, I mean if you buy a mystery pack, the problem is it's like if you don't get something great, then it's like you know, is this like a scam, you know is this how it always is, because like they said there was only three other ones, so there'd be four total, like if all four are like this, then there's not much going on there, so and I mean if these are like ten dollars, then that's one thing, you know, then that's not bad, but if they're like a hundred dollars, you know, it all depends on the price point, let's see this is the last part, the final part, the giveaways, let's see what we're gonna add to the giveaway, let's see if the giveaway is better than the actual pulls, let's see, I'm trying not to reveal these all at once, but they're very taped together, so we have a five headed dragon, okay, we've got another god card, I think I'd rather have this one than the ones we got, but that's one you guys get to get, which is pretty cool, obelisk the tormentor, ultimate rare god god magician, this was in a ten, so it was guaranteed, but so cool, an ultimate rare, another obelisk, a dart magician from Dupoe, I haven't seen this artwork in a while, that's pretty cool, and then a blue eyes wide dragon, so a few decent cards there for your giveaway, so if you guys want that included in my giveaway as well, don't forget to like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, let me know what you think about the mystery box slash package, whatever it was, I would say not great for the most part, but you know, and maybe the other ones are better, who knows, so if you guys enjoyed it, make sure to let me know in the comments, and if you guys enjoy

Hello, and welcome to this presentation. My name is Badr Dean, and in this video, we'll learn how to cache the bitmaps stored in an SD card. In this first part, we'll see how to set up the SDMMC peripheral and add FrataFS file system to the SDM32F746 TADGFX template. I will start by TADGFX designer, which is a GUI builder that lets you easily build the visual appearance of your graphics application. Here, I have to select application name and use SDM32F746 SD cache bitmaps. On the application template, I'll click Change and select SDM32F746 Discover Kit template. Here, we see we have two different versions, one that does support SDM32 Cubemax project and one that does not. I will select the one that supports SDM32 Cubemax to easily add SDMMC configuration. I click Select. And then in the UI template, I click Change. And I will select any application template from here. For example, today, I will use the Animation Texture Mapper and then click Select. Then I'll click Create. And now TADGFX will download the template from the server. Now I have the application template available on my desk. I'll click Generate Code and then click on Browse to the TADGFX files. Click here and then here I have my TADGFX files. I go up by one level here and I find my SDM32 Cubemax file, this IUC file. I'll double-click on it. Here, I have my SDM32 Cubemax open. Now we need to enable the peripheral that's connected to the SD card. If we look at the user manual of the SDM32F746 discovery board, we see that SD or microSD connector is connected to SDMMC1 peripheral. And if we look at the schematic, we see that the 4-bit or 4 pins are connected to the SD card. So I go back to SDM32 Cubemax, go Connectivity, select SDMMC1, and then select SD4-bits widebush. Then we'll enable the SDMMC1 global interrupt. And then we go to DMA Settings and we enable the DMA channels for TX and RX. This helps to offload this CPU. OK, then if I go back to the schematic of the SDM32F746, we see here that the microSD uses a GPIO for detect signal. And this pin has to be set up as input with pull-up. So this microSD detect pin is connected to PC13, as we can see here. So microSD detect is connected to PC13. I go back to SDM32 Cubemax project. And we select PC13. And we set it up to GPIO input. We still need to enable the pull-up, the internal pull-up for PC13. We go to System Core, GPIO. We go to PC13. And here in GPIO pull-up pull-down configuration, we select pull-up. OK, now we are done with the SDMMC configuration. We go to Clock Configuration tab. And we see here that the clock is above what the spec says. If I check the data sheet of the SDM32F746, we see here that the clock frequency for the SDMMC peripheral has to be lower than 50 MHz. So we see here that the SDMMC clock is 200. So I'll select the PLL48 clock. And then here I'll divide this clock by 8. And here we have the SDMMC clock set up to 50 MHz. Next, we want to use a file system to allow us to do file operations, such as open a file, read a file, or write a file. So we'll go to middleware and FATFS. So here we'll use FATFS on SD card. And then for the detect signal, we use PC13. And now I'll save my SDM32QMX project and click on Generate Code. So the code is successfully generated. I'll click Open Project. Thank you for joining me in this video. And we hope that you enjoyed learning how to set up the SDMMC peripheral and add FATFS file system to the SDM32F746.GFX template. And the second part of this video, we see how to set up the bitmap cache and how to cache the bitmaps stored in an SD card.


Man it feels good to be back in FNAF board adventure We're gonna try and squeeze in another episode because it feels like we're getting really really close to the end so Really excited about that talk to Mal hair. What's up Mal hair? Hey there y'all Well, would y'all mind doing a favor for me? We've been doing a lot of favors today, but sure see I left a very important item of mine and deep metal mine If you could have retrieved for me, I would be so thankful Just try to make sure it comes back in one piece and don't forget to remember Jeremy Make sure you don't lose it like I did haha. Well, I'll see y'all My head It was wrong. Nothing. I just think seeing things from all these stress for the stress. Come on Let's go to deep metal mine. What the heck? Okay, so Why do we have to remember Jeremy's glitch trap? I have no clue what deep metal mine is found that so our objective is to just Investigate the place wasn't glitch trap out this way originally, so let's try this whoo chest. Oh, I can't get to it Okay, I think he was like right here originally Hmm. I guess we're just gonna have to look around for a bit. Oh I found something. Oh, hey, do you by any chance? Who are you? Well, I'm babing. This is but Rhetorical question can't read today, but we need to find Someone's lost.  Oh totally pizza wheel. Oh A hundred percent actually wait a minute Hold on. He's hitting quite hard Gift boxes. Okay. I don't like how you I Don't like that wait Wait a minute. Did he just get rid of all our gift boxes? Hold on. I gotta watch that again. Hold up. Oh my god. Are you kidding? That's not good. It's fine. It's actually not that fine Let's do that just to heal up a little bit. Oh My god. Okay, so I feel like This guy's gonna be easy to defeat. It's just that he hits pretty hard Which is not I clicked off the game shoot. Um, what am I doing? Happy jam? Okay, we need neon wall back up. That's really saving us right now. Okay neon wall awesome really really good Hey pizza wheel Baby is not doing too good on health Let's get gift boxes back up because we are losing those Okay, he's almost dead, but he's still hitting us pretty good Okay, that's good Few more rounds and then we've got him in the bag. Happy jam get our health back up Uh pizza wheel get that and I think cosmic songs should do it. I'm gonna wait So all of these hit and there we go Good job boys. We did it now we should yeah 28 29 maybe 29 okay, can we get to 30? Let's see. Can we get oh so close? Oh find in question mal hair. I'm guessing he's not gonna be where he was No, why why would he oh? That wasn't too bad. He was just where he started. Oh, howdy. I guess it didn't work out, huh? That's just too bad. I love this music from help wanted God what what is this a simple we what the freak? You like it. Well wait what what? Now it's just you and me baby. What should I say elizabeth? How do you?  I don't know. I'm giving him a pyronexin Wow, you're just as bad as I thought don't you remember jeremy jeremy That's right. I told you to remember him. Yeah me. Oh, he's jeremy. I'm jeremy You forgot me. Just like you forgot all the others. That's pretty that's That's sad. I should expect this from the lady who just Left me in a fire and then killed entered without even holding a funeral. We killed entered Whatever. I've been waiting to get my plan into full motion. So sorry for exposing myself so early by loser Baby baby. What's wrong you and mal hair spaced out. It was weird You just stared at the grass for a few seconds. Yeah, it was really creepy. It's it's jeremy Mal hair. He's jeremy. What? He he's up to something bad. I know it. Who's jeremy and why should I care? He was just born but jeremy was a friend of ours at the circus back when we were brow boys Pawns. It was a freak show attraction due to his Mental instability. Jesus I don't think us not being able to get him and the others out of music Out of that fire helped his condition. So he's out for revenge. Great He might be after us, but he'll hurt a lot more people doing whatever he's trying to do We got to find him. Come on. The music is back I got worried because I didn't know what was happening with the sound find mal hair. Well, it seems like we're always doing that and that In this series, aren't we how am I supposed to know where he is? Does it really want me to search this entire freaking map? Oh, I was just jamming jamming to the beats. I like the song. Hey, what's up? I should have saved.  It's you again. Shoot. What are you doing here? I'm in the middle of something Where's brown boy and mal hair brow boy is six feet under. I don't know about mal hair though We're freaking brow boy died. Did I miss something? Wait, bro boy is dead. Yeah mal hair killed him I gotta work for the little guy now. Then you're free. You don't have to listen to anyone Sorry, if I don't do this, he'll kill me, but it seems like you're pretty close to death We don't know what you're doing, but we won't let this but we won't let it happen Do I gotta fight this guy again? I think I gotta fight him again I do. Okay monster man Monster mash. Wow. Okay. This is really not gonna be that bad and he's almost dead We've already fought him before so I just thought I'd skip this fight Yeah, he's almost dead. I don't even have the neon wall up anymore.  Nice Man, we're really cranking these levels 31 Wow, and I clicked off the game again. I need to stop doing that. Our objective is to still find mal hair I don't know where he could be What The astral outskirts. I've never been here. Oh, he's gotta be out here. He's gotta be The freak is the shadow valley. I don't like how you're looking at me I can't talk to you. Okay, I can't go that way Um I go in here No Excuse me, sir Do you I forget? Oh no. Hey. Hey there seems like you're new around here. Welcome to the underneath specifically shadow valley I'm not sure how you got here, but be safe. This place is dangerous besides I just cleaned my lawn.  Finally found you How what you brought a friend you you've got a friend with you. Hey, baby. Jeremy So we're not gonna use her fake names Yeah, like my new toy made it myself It'll be so much fun to watch and rip you apart But I got other things to do should probably check back in the forest after you're done But I thought you said it was just gonna kill me. So why would you You literally just spoiled your entire plan Ah, so I am fighting glitch trap Awesome I should have put up a wall.   Oh my god. Okay, so No, that's not what I wanted to do. I have to get this right I can't just hop into a fight all willy-nilly without my wall Cosmic wall. Thank you neon wall whatever I don't even know what it is at this point gift boxes because those keep going away super fast For some reason. I don't know why okay. Uh now cosmic song Okay, he's like halfway there. This is fine. Where are my boxes? Thank you I didn't think we would actually be fighting glitch trap. That's awesome Cosmic song again Okay, we need heels like right now I didn't really do all that much, but it's better than nothing. I guess Yeah, I didn't think we would be fighting glitch trap. That's really cool nice I mean he's almost dead again This fight the fights in these in this game really aren't that bad Um, they hit for quite a bit Other than other than that. They're not that bad. Okay. I'm gonna risk it.   Yeah, but it's blocking the way So let's just get what do you mean it's blocking the it was in the middle Of the passageway. I could clearly go around that thing So let's just get rid of it already what this feels like a totally useless fight. Why am I doing this? I could I literally just could have walked past it. I fought the tree. I literally just could have walked past you You're not even that bad of a boss Something I don't like about this game is that right there is that the characters don't have Attacks that are specific to them. They just hit you randomly I wish they had attacks of their own that would be really cool to see and mic toss to end it off Another easy dub out of the way boys 34 We're rolling 35 Oh my god, 35 find mal hair near the dark oak forest What do you mean near the dark oak forest?  I just I just want to show you guys Guys, who's that? Who are you? you Okay, you guys liking this game so far not really i'm kind of scared about that thing not gonna lie.      We're in the end game now.  Uh-huh Great another fight Let's kill this thing already. Then we find fredbear. He should help us I don't I it didn't seem like fredbear was in a great mood Uh, if I remember the last time we saw him. He was in a bit of a predicament predicament. Okay, so this is glitch freddy Again Another easy dub. Oh, he hits pretty hard though.  I always forget to put up the wall There's the wall. Listen. He's a pretty cool model though. I really like him. Oh god My gift boxes are gone. All right, come on gift boxes gift boxes. Thank you um Yeah, again another easy fight if I'm skipping over these fights It's just because it's the same thing over and over again and As fun as it is to fight these guys I feel like and this is going back to what I said earlier if they had their own unique attacks Then the fights would be a lot more interesting and enjoyable But because they just lunge at you like that Uh, I don't know and I'm just doing the same moves over and over again so Again, not much new things. We are fighting a new guy, of course, but um You know, we're gonna beat him easily and then once we're done with him. He's gone I don't know. Here we are in his final moments to say goodbye He's not dead He's still not dead There we go. It was nice knowing you glitch Freddy. You're pretty cool, but now we're level 36 I know we're level 37 find fredbear. Is he gonna be in here? No, okay. Well another search begins This sounds like the minecraft music. Whoa. What the heck?  So boys, how are we doing? How are we doing? Fredbear who? You guys made it uh Helping me out.  I believed in you But you took her from me for the last time.  It was an accident caused by faulty chainsaw wiring. No one's to Fredbear. No chipper.  I loved her so much. I loved her like a son. She was like father to me It's not it.  That's it. I'm taking you down too Well, this is gonna be great. I bet after this I gotta find where he kicked Fredbear to And I'm a finna be mad Hey, how about you? How tough are you? Welcome to the neon wall. How tough are you? Yeah, I mean I think what they did was that everyone has the same health They just hit harder or weaker depending on I didn't want to I didn't want to do that depending on how far you've gotten in the game because this This is just bogus like I'm gonna get this fight done in two minutes I like how the name this fight is chipper's revenge Good joke game dev man chipper got clapped hard Ooh chipper, how does it feel? 38 39 check on Fredbear Fredbear there is no way he only kicked you that far like come on man Well, he's freaking dead Fredbear Fredbear get up. I'm sorry. This isn't funny, but it's funny kid Listen to me. Don't don't be sad because it's over be happy because it happened I'm glad I could give you the lives you always wanted and I hope I gave you more Now go kick that rabbit's bum Shoot I brought you back from date dad. I I say that a lot you stole my line Chipper is going to kill Fredbear for one thing what yeah, I stopped him though What do you just do what did he just do did he just like reset his memory or something? Go to the actual plane. I'm pretty sure it's that's the ice game. That's the flip side. This is wait the actual Oh plane. Yeah, this is it. This is it so What I just I just chill here Found them Yo, what's up, Ennard? How we chilling? How we doing?  I'm not there Thankfully my interdimensional speech device at least lets me taunt you from beyond Did you do to Ennard?  I don't really want to get involved with this tea Anyway, hope you all have a good time wish I could see it shut up Jeremy my sweet Ennard. I'm so sorry. Great. We have to kill Ennard again. No, can't do that We can't prove him right Ennard. This is gonna hurt a bit So if we're not gonna fight him, what are we gonna do? We're still gonna fight him. He's got ball boys with him. Um This isn't gonna be too hot. I wanted to put up my wall Okay, well the fact that oh Okay, I don't really like this fight off too much Wait, hold on the wall. I need wall and now I need the boxes pizza Hey, come on boxes boxes. Awesome That's one down It's another one. Did you just go into a tea poach tea pose? I think he did. Oh god. This ain't looking too good Actually, no, it's like I'm fine. What am I talking about? Oh shoot? Okay, I didn't realize that my guys were dying. Maybe this isn't too good neon wall. Yes, please I can't lose below. I cannot Come on. Come on. I cannot Not now Not this phone to the game mostly because I haven't saved in a while. That's him gone Okay, just ended left. This is good I really can't die Have it saved in a really long time Okay, come on on cost of song Good almost there almost Oh, he's so close. I'm just gonna let this play out I'm gonna let my bee get him. My bee deserves the right. Oh, oh, that's really close there Come on. You get one last try. Okay, never mind.  All right. I forgot it doesn't No, he why that takes so long the ball was empty 40 42 it just it never ends. We're just gonna get so many levels Objective say goodbye. I'm guessing we have to go here Is it gonna let me through? No, it still doesn't let me through What? Oh How how did I miss that or was that he no that must have been there. How did I miss that? What is with this game and all the deaths? Oh my god Maybe it's okay. We just No, it's not okay. We we killed him again.  We just proved germy right bad Bad show This guy's so messed up. I can't believe he'd do this. No We did this we neglected. I didn't mean to skip that we neglected someone who cared about us probably That's what it said. No germy let himself become the monster. We were friends We had our moments and yet because we let him slip away. He turned He's making us stoop down to his level. He knows what he's done We have to save him Ennard, it'll be okay. You can rest now My god So what do we do now it said say goodbye. Is that it? Oh save germy How may I ask can I finally go out this way? No, I don't want to fight you guys I can go this way the dreamscape woods. Oh my god. This place is called the end Oh, no. Oh, I see him. I am going to get to him. Why am I getting so much money? All right, germy This is where we say Goodbye Howdy, howdy, I guess now we're gonna start with hello germy this has to stop Hmm Nah Okay, I'm not done with you yet.  Okay, ready for the final act because it's about to get Bloody are we finally fighting this guy? Yeah Holy freaky deaky schmeaky us that okay. Well, I guess we oh my god. This guy hits hard Geez, okay. Can I gift boxes? Oh my god, this is not a fun fight Pizza wheel. Okay. I need gift boxes. All right The goal here. Okay. This is the strat Everyone does what they need to do. Baby does the wheels the pizza wheels foxy does song The cosmic song Freddie does the pizza wheels you do gift boxes every single time you do gift boxes And when the wall goes down, I'll put it back up Other than that everyone does the same exact thing and that's gonna get us all the way to the end This does not look like it's gonna be fun It's really okay gift boxes immediately. I need that freaking wall Okay, we got one we got one. Okay gift gift. Thank you. We got one That's good. All right this the entirety of this fight. I'm gonna keep in okay This is not looking too good pizza wheel. Okay. Come on. Come on gift boxes gift. Thank you This is not too he keeps going for fruity. It's not good. Why does he keep going for fruity? Okay pizza wheel. Oh, we got that in that's good. We got that in Ooh, he took our foxy. We need him Okay, okay.  Okay gift boxes immediately This is not good. I just put up a wall and it's already gone This is not good. Hey, we got two. That's good All right. Yeah. Oh wait, we got three All right, can we can we do it? We're not gonna do it, but can we do it? Actually gaining health because the med kit Ah, luckily I saved. I think that's the first time I've died. That's a big out Okay, no messing around no messing around We are going all out Just this once Bobs over. Okay. We are doing significantly better this round Now that I know what I'm actually going up against I think we're doing a lot better. Well, he looks like he's cross-eyed. I'm not gonna lie It's kind of weird Anyways, we still have Quite a long ways to go until he's dead, but we are doing a lot better, which is really good should be it Almost there and wait wait for it. We're gonna hit him with the mic Boom That's great. We should get a lot of xp of might That's what fredbear said to us I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry Hey, we're cool.  He's kind of creepy, you know When you do bad things bad things happen back That's called That's what I said. I'm sorry. We left you. We didn't want to I swear You almost left and are behind almost you killed him twice. He's got a point Once anyway When someone exposes you for your lies you crumble.  That's really dark It's a good game though Really good game I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot I'm gonna let the credits roll because all these people deserve to uh Really? I look topi fox right there. I see 418. I knew I swear it was minecraft I knew it This is a really good game.  Wow. Look at all these faith mortis Mario and Luigi dream team Mario Odyssey Sonic Unleashed Splatoon 2 Look at all these special things. Look at all these people. Don't be fox a bit Ryan Lewis fusion My brother my mother my grandmother grandfather my whole family. Bless you and thank you Thank you for all the followers of the game drill page You're gonna list out every single follower. I've already said that I enjoyed the game And I really did enjoy the game and I really do mean it This was a great game Solid five episodes out of it. So many more. Thank you. Okay, silly. Don't listen Thank you Again, fantastic game. So glad I played it through completion It's sad because I don't do that a whole lot the end that the The ending being blue makes me feel like there's more endings if there are more Let me know because I would love to go through and play this again. This was great turn What happens after? Oh Look, it's so pretty full on cutscene Oh, look at this rest in peace. Show me rest in peace pretty fast bread baron entered That's great To be continued now, I did read I did read that the second game Development wasn't going too hard on it Is that it?  Relax. Well, I guess that's it. I absolutely Absolutely loved this the story was absolutely Incredible. I loved following it and I just I love it a lot. It introduced new characters a new storyline My dogs love it so much as well as you can hear Yeah, so the characters the story All the levels that you can go to like they were 15 More than 15. I think actually um because some of you send them send you Two different locations.  The only bad thing I have to say well I have a few bad things. We're not bad things, but Criticism, I guess you could say I didn't really like the missions or the objectives where you had to find So in characters because then you just again 15 plus levels really fun to explore but To look through every single one when you're trying to find just one thing to progress the story Not my favorite thing in the world. Also, um, I mentioned this several times in this video specifically But if the enemies had their own special attacks that they attacked you with that'd be awesome That'd be great It didn't even it doesn't even have to be new ones like mad endo He could use unscrew in some cases. Um, or like the water Octopus guy, I forget his name. I think it's like colossal or something He could use like water beam or water blasts or hose. I forget what it's called But you know, you know what? I mean like attacks that are specific to that character. I think that'd be really cool um But other than that, like I said, I absolutely love this game And I'm so glad that you guys loved it washing me play as well because again This game is just absolutely incredible and you can tell um Just by looking at it and by the credits just how many people Worked on this game supported it and love it and it's just absolutely incredible. You don't get many you don't get fair games like that um Really anymore as much as you did back in the old days with candy and pop goes Joy creation all those big big title fan games. This is This is up there with some of the most recent ones. So yeah phenomenal job to the game devs and um Wish you guys best luck. Um on your next walks, whether it is a sequel to this game I think it was called like finalford nexus or finalford adventure nexus Whether or not that does pan out to happen or if you're going to move on to something else Really wish you guys the best luck. So that's it for finalford adventure. Absolutely crazy I didn't I didn't think this was going to be the fun episode But here we are if you made it this far smash like and if you're not already subscribed Hit the bell icon because well first subscribe And then hit the bell icon because curse of dread bears coming out Really really soon. It's right around the corner. So yeah, thanks for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side Goodbye wait hold on hold on Hold on where's it? Where's the flips? I'll see you guys at the flip side level. This is bad outro Goodbye


OASIS or Openly Available Sources Integrated Search is a search tool for locating open educational resources. OASIS can be searched by the type of learning activity, such as simulations, labs, or lessons. In this example, we'll look at finding interactive simulations. We'll follow the interactive simulations source type search from the main menu. The search results page shows over 2,000 interactive simulations have been found. At this point, I'll use the filters to narrow my search results further. The filter options are subject, source, and license. Under subject, I can focus on an academic discipline like biology. As an example, let's take a look at the record for membrane channels. The record provides further descriptions of the resource, including the targeted learning level. The simulation field contains the link to the resource itself. For this simulation from FET at UC Boulder, you may download a Java version for offline use and actually for your own purposes for future use, or you can provide students with the link to the browser-compatible version.
