All right. Okay. So, welcome back to the class, everyone. We have just gone through Romans chapter 5. It is a truly amazing chapter where Paul shares with us some things that you don't find him communicating that in many other places, except as I mentioned, he touches on something similar in 1 Corinthians chapter 15. So, keep your hand in Romans 5 and let's go to 1 Corinthians chapter 15 and we're just going to read verses 45 to 49. 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 45 to 49. Could somebody read that for us as he contents back him? 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 45 to 49, please. So, shall I read? Go ahead, please. And so it is written, the first man, Adam, became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first but the natural and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the second man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have born the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly man. Thank you. So, this is one other place in Paul's episodes there. Paul is drawing a similar picture like what we saw in Romans 5. In Romans 5 he talked about one man, Adam, and he said he's a type of him who was to come, which is Jesus. And then he's drawing the contrast through one man's sin, through one man's obedience. And he's drawing the contrast of what happens to us. Similarly here in 1 Corinthians 15 verses 45 to 49, he's referring to Adam as the first Adam. He's referring to Jesus as the last Adam, verse 45. First Adam was a, he became a living being, whereas the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. Now think about this. Jesus is the last Adam. First Adam, Jesus is the last Adam. So meaning to say that in Jesus there is an end to Adam's race. This comes to an end. The last. So technically there are still people born of Adam's race. It's happening. But in Christ that comes to an end. So when we are in Christ, it's the end of Adam's race. Because Christ is the last Adam, full stop to the Adam's race. So technically people are still being born of Adam's race. But in Christ Adam's race comes to an end. Then he says, well, verse 46. Well, he's talking about the natural. He says, well, I'm actually talking about the natural and spiritual. So he's talking in Christ spiritually. You know, spiritually Adam's race comes to an end. The natural continues, of course. The natural people are still born of Adam's race. But spiritually in Christ he's the last Adam. And then he goes on, verse 47. The first man was of the earth. Then he refers to Jesus as the second man. Very interesting. The first man, second man. The first man was natural and of the earth, the second man. So if you want to think about it, there are only two men, so to speak, or two races. There is the natural earthly and then there is the spiritual heavenly. So Jesus is the second man. He says, verse 47, the second man is the Lord, the Lord Jesus, from heaven, heavenly. So there's one race of people who are of the first Adam, the first man. They are natural and earthly. There is another race of people who are spiritual or in Christ. We don't know what people in Christ. They are spiritual and they are from above heavenly. And these people, for them, it's the end of the Adam's race because they are in Christ, he's the last Adam. It's over. And he's the second man. It's a new race. And this race, second people are born of the second man. They are spiritual and they are from heaven. And then he says, verse 48, the natural, those who are born, those, verse 48, the natural, those who are natural, they bear the image of the man. Verse 49, they bear the image of Adam. They resemble Adam. They like him. Whereas verse 48 and 49, end of the verse 48 and 49, as is the heavenly, so are also those who are heavenly. That means the spiritual people, you and I, we bear the image of the heavenly, the one who is from heaven. That means right now, the way verse 49 is translated, it says, we shall also bear. But actually, the little Greek does not have a future to it. It says, we now bear the image of the heavenly. Let us also bear, let us show forth the image. So in these few verses, he's doing again a wonderful contrast. He says, first man, first Adam, the natural man, the first man, last Adam, second man, spiritual man, first Adam, man from Earth, second man or last Adam, man from heaven. In Adam, we all die in Christ. We are living. And he says, just as we have born the image of the first one, that means we were born of Adam's race, so we bore that image. Now we are of the last Adam. We are of the second man. So he says, we now bear the image of the last Adam, the second man, the heavenly man, the one who is spiritual. We bear his image. So this is very powerful that in Christ, we bear his image. We are like him. We represent him. We are also from above. We are born from above. We bear his image. So this is the only other place where the Apostle Paul is writing in this manner to express what has happened to us because of Jesus Christ. So we go back now to Romans. Any questions of Romans 5 so far before we start of Romans 6? Any questions? Okay. So now we go into Romans 6. So in Romans 6, Paul is building up on what he has already shared. So he has said, in Christ, we have received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. In Christ, we have received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. So then he's countering a question that people would ask. Should we therefore continue in sin because God is giving us so much grace? Should we just continue in sin? So now this whole issue of sin, we are forgiven, but how about living free from sin? We are forgiven from our sins. We have been justified. We have been made righteous. We understand that by the grace of God. But should we now continue living in sin just because there is the grace of God and this righteousness and we are justified and so on? So he's now transitioning to talk about Christian living. How do we live in view of the cross, in view of what has happened on the cross? And what he is going to bring out in Romans 6 is an in-depth understanding of the truth of identification. He has introduced that for us in Romans 5. He says, you know, in Adam it's like this, but in Christ we have received this. Wonderful. But let's take a deeper look at our identification with Christ. What does it mean? How does it affect our lives? A deeper look. So that's what happens in Romans 6. He goes deeper and says, okay, I want to tell you something more. Not only are we forgiven from sin, but we are delivered from sin and a lot of things related to that. So we don't have to live as slaves to sin anymore. So remember, Adam brought sin into the world and death came. We became slaves to sin. Here he's saying we are set free from sin, Romans 7 to 6, but he's explaining to us how that happened. Okay? So let's begin again. We'll go through a few verses at a time through Romans 7 to 6. Could somebody read Romans 7 to 6 verses 1 and 2 for us please? Sure. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace might may abound? Certainly not. How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? So he is asking a question which probably wasn't the minds of the people. Hey, this is wonderful. Christ has given us the free gift, the grace of God and the gift of righteousness. It's wonderful. So should we just continue living in sin because God has given us grace? And this is a question that I guess much of the church would be asking today, especially with all the emphasis on the teaching on grace. Thank God for the revelation of the grace of God. And we must embrace and be strong in the grace of God, the grace that God has given to us. We must live in it. We must enjoy it. But just like this question here, should we continue in sin that grace may abound? You know, the answer is very clear was to certainly not. Just because there is so much grace doesn't mean we just continue in sin. Verse two, certainly not. We cannot do that. We cannot continue in sin so that the grace of God will just be poured on our lives. Why? Why is that? There is grace, but grace doesn't empower us to sin or allow us to continue in sin. Why? Because now Paul is saying, look, in that same cross through which grace was given, some other things also happened on the same cross. And so he's going to tell us about that. Listen verse two. How shall we who died to sin live in it? So Paul said, wait a minute, I want you to know something about yourself. You have died to sin. Now he's writing to us believers. He said, you have died to sin. Then you say, well, Paul, when did I die to sin? I mean, I know I'm a believer in Jesus. I know I received grace, the grace of God. I know I've received the gift of righteousness. But when did I die to sin? When did that happen? Verse three. Can somebody read verses three and four, please? Paul, do you not know that as many of us as we are baptized into Christ Jesus, we are baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptized into death. That just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  So he already said, we have died to sin. So he said, when did I die to sin? Well, he says, when you were baptized into Christ, you were baptized into His death. Now, is he talking about water baptism, or is he talking about some other baptism? The answer is he's talking about the spiritual baptism. He's not talking directly about water baptism. I'll explain to you why. Because he's saying we have been baptized into Christ. So we must understand it from the language of the author. What would this author, which is Paul, mean, being baptized into Christ? Well, where else does he write about this? Well, he writes about this in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and verse 13. Over there, he says, for by one spirit, 1 Corinthians 12 verse 13, for by one spirit, we were all baptized into one body and made to drink of one spirit. That means the Holy Spirit baptized us into the body into Christ. So there it is being baptized into Christ, not baptized in water, but baptized in Christ. So he's talking about that. Now, water baptism, water baptism is a physical expression, is an outward expression of verse 3, Roman 6 verse 3. So it is perfectly fine to read Romans 6 and verse 3 at the time of water baptism. It's perfectly fine because water baptism, like we said, it's a physical expression of a spiritual reality. So it's perfectly fine. But what he's focusing on is a spiritual reality. And what happened? What is the spiritual reality of the spiritual truth? The spiritual truth is that all of us as believers have been baptized into Christ. We are brought into Christ. We are immersed. The word baptize means immersed, to submerge, to overwhelm. So we have been put into Christ so that we are clothed to be overwhelmed with Christ, immersed into Christ. And what he's saying is, when we were baptized into Christ, we were baptized into His death. That means by coming into Christ, we are now identified with His death. We are baptized into His death. So this is something to think about, to understand. Christ died approximately 2,000 years ago physically. About 2,000 years ago, Jesus died. Here you and I are 2,000 years later when we hear the gospel of Jesus and we believe in Jesus Christ. And today when we believe in Jesus Christ, we are baptized into Christ. We are immersed into Christ spiritually today, 2,000 years. But at the same time when we are immersed into Christ, when we are brought into Christ, God says, because you're in Christ, I'm going to treat you as though you were in Christ 2,000 years ago, so that what happened to Christ 2,000 years ago becomes effective in you today. So how is that possible? Well, he already spent time explaining in Romans chapter 5, Adam sinned.  It affected by what happened 6,000 years ago by one man's disobedience. So the same truth is continuing here. Christ died 2,000 years ago physically. Today you and I believe in Jesus. We are baptized into Christ. We are immersed into Him spiritually. And the moment we become identified with Him, we become identified with His death. And he's going to tell us in detail what happened. But I want us to just understand this, the spiritual side of this. Spiritually, we are made one with Jesus. And because we are made one with Christ, we are baptized into Christ. We are also baptized into His death. That means when we are identified or we are immersed into His death, which took place 2,000 years ago, and verse 4, somebody could read verse 4 please. Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death that Jesus as Christ was raised from the death by the glory of the Father even so we also should walk in newness of life. So verse 4, we have been baptized into His death. That means when Christ died, we are made part of His death. Therefore, that means because we are part of His death, we are also buried with Him. That means when Christ was buried, we also were buried with Him through baptism into death. We are baptized into His death. We are buried with Him. Not only are we buried with Him, but just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, that means He was resurrected. So we are also resurrected with Him. So very interesting truth that today we have received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, but there's something more that's happened. We are baptized into Christ. We are identified with Him spiritually because we are with Him spiritually. We are identified with His death, with His burial, with His resurrection. This has meaning for us today. We are living here 2,000 years after that happened. 2,000 years ago, Jesus died on the cross. He was buried and He was resurrected 2,000 years ago. And Paul is saying, when Christ died, you and I died. When Christ was buried, you and I were buried. When Christ was resurrected, you and I were resurrected. This has meaning or it has implications for our life here today. And what is the implication? How does it make a difference? How does it matter to you and me today? He is explaining. Verse 5, somebody could read verse 5. For since we have become one with Him in dying as He did, in the same way we shall be one with Him by being raised to life as He was. So he says, look, we have been united with Him in His death. We will also be united with Him in His death. That means we died with Him, we will also be raised with Him. And that's the whole thing. Start to finish His death, burial, resurrection. We are with Him. We are identified in Him. So it's not like we just died with Him and were buried with Him. And when He rose up, we were left in the grave. No. We were crucified with Him. We were buried with Him. And when He resurrected, we also resurrected. That's the point. Okay. So he's saying we are identified with Him throughout this whole thing. We are united together. United together. We used the word identified or united together with Christ. That means when Christ died, we died. When He was buried, we were buried. When He was resurrected, we were resurrected because we are united together with His death, burial, and resurrection. And not only that, we know from Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 6 that we're also united together with Him in His ascension. That means when Christ ascended, we ascended. And we're also united together with Him in His exaltation. That means when He was made to sit at the right hand of the Father, you and I were made to sit at the Father's right hand. So in all of these five stages, crucifixion, burial, resurrection, ascension, exaltation, or seething, all the five stages, the Scripture is saying we were united together with Him. When Christ died, you and I died. When Christ was buried, you and I were buried. When Christ was resurrected, you and I were resurrected. And Christ ascended, we ascended with Him. And when Christ was seated at the right hand of the Father, we were made to sit together with Him in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 2 and verse 6. But what does all this mean to us today? How does it affect our lives today? Paul is explaining, is going to explain to us. But remember what he started off with? He started with a question, should we continue to live in sin? Because God is giving us grace. And his response was, we died to sin. So how can we live in sin? He says we died. He's going to explain to us how this happened. In order to explain that to us, he has introduced this truth of being united together or being identified with Christ in His death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and seating at the right hand of the Father. He's introduced that. But now he's going to explain bit by bit how this affects us being free from sin. Let's read verse 6, please. Verse 6 and 7. Knowing this that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. So verse 6. Knowing this. Knowing this. So this is something we must know. And God's people, meaning the church, must be made to know this. So many people don't know it. When I say many people, I'm talking about the church people, God's believers, they don't know it. So he says, knowing this, know this. What? That our old man, our old man, was crucified with him. Old man versus new man. Old man is what came to us through Adam. The new man is what comes to us through Jesus. That's why now when we say Jesus was the last Adam, we understand it. Because in Jesus, the old man comes to an end. It's the end of the old man. And in Jesus starts the new man. We had a new creation in Christ. So he says, know this. Our old man, which is the sinful, Adamic nature, the sinful nature inside of us, the nature that made us, that gave us the propensity to sin, the tendency to sin, our old man. What happened to our old man? He says, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him. So when Christ died, you and I died. That means when Christ was crucified, you and I were crucified. What part of us was crucified? The old man says, know this, that the old man, the old sinful nature was crucified. To be crucified means to be put to death. It's the end of it. So the old man is no longer alive because he's been crucified. He's dead, just crucified with him. So as a believer, you don't have the old man. You have the new man, which comes through Jesus. So there is no sinful nature in your spirit. Now, the mind and the body is different. The mind needs to be renewed. The body needs to be crucified. The mind needs to be taught how to think differently, renewed. It may still think according to the old ways, but the mind needs to be renewed so it can think differently. The body needs to be crucified because the body would still want to behave like the old. But it needs the old things to be crucified and it needs to be retrained to live according to the new man. Yes, he will explain to us in Romans 6, but understand this, that in the spirit, in your spirit, there's no more old man. It's the new man because the old man was crucified. And what else? Because of that, verse 6, the old man was crucified with him that the body of sin might be done away with. The body of sin representing the sum totality of sin. So when it says the body, the word body is used in many different ways in the New Testament. It can talk to about the physical body, or it also can refer to the sum totality of something and the full measure of something. So that's the way it's used here in verse 6, that the body or the sum totality, the totality of sin, the body of sin might be done away with. I mean, just it must be done away. It's the end of it. It's caught and rid of. So the old man was crucified so that the totality of sin in our lives was done away with so that we no longer are slaves of sin. We are no longer slaves of sin. Verse 6 is so powerful. This is truth. And as a believer, we are no longer a slave of sin. Because the old man was crucified and the totality of sin was taken out of your life. When you and I died with Christ on the cross, that's what happened. And so in verse 7 he says, He who has died is free from sin. So you think about this in the natural. And a simple example is to think about a man who was a drunkard. So imagine a man who was a drunkard all his life.  If he dies, now you can lay his body out and you can put all his favorite alcoholic drinks around him. He won't even move his little finger. Why? He's dead. He was dead. He's free from sin. He's not going to get up and drink because he's dead. That's just an example. But Paul is saying verse 7. So what Paul is saying in verses 6 and 7 is, we are dead. We meaning the old man, that sinful propensity within us and the sum totality of sin that was controlling us is gone. So we are dead. Therefore he says, we are free from sin. And this is what took place on the cross. When Christ died on the cross, we died with him. Our old man was crucified and the power of sin in our lives was broken so that today we can live free from sin. That happened 2,000 years ago. We were not born. We were not alive at that time. But God is saying, because today you are identified spiritually with Christ. You are also identified with what happened 2,000 years ago. Just like we saw in Romans chapter 5, the earlier chapter, how what happened to Adam affects everybody else or what Christ provided is available to all of us. Same way what happened 2,000 years ago. Today becomes effective in your life and mine so that we can walk free from sin to the truth that the old man was crucified and the power of sin over our lives is broken is real. It comes to you spiritually. It is spiritual truth. And so you and I can walk in that spiritual truth today. That today you and I can say my old man was crucified with Christ and the body of sin or the power of sin over my life was destroyed so that I no longer am a slave of sin. I am dead to sin and I'm free from sin. We can say that today because spiritually this is ours in Christ. Is it clear? Any questions on that? Okay. We just look at two more verses before we close. Let's look at verses 8, 8 and 9. I think we can do that. Yeah. Let's read 8 and 9 please. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. Knowing that Christ having been raised from the dead there is no more death no longer has dominion over him. So he says if we died with Christ, it will also live with him. That means the story doesn't end with just the crucifixion. Christ was buried. Christ was resurrected. And if we believe that we have been united together with his death as he has already told us before in verses 4 and 5, we believe we are also united together with him in his burial because we are buried with him. And we also believe that we are united together with his resurrection. So we live with him. So Paul says the rest of it is true. And when Christ died, when Christ was raised up today, death has no more control over him. So in the same way, these past things that we have put behind have no more control over us. But what does this mean? We know that when he mentioned this already for us in verse 4, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we also walk in newness of life. So to be resurrected with Christ means we have been raised to walk in newness of life. So he's saying I don't need to go and explain all those to you because he's already mentioned the rest of it to us. We can probe deep, we can go into that in detail. So when Christ was buried, you and I were buried with Christ. What does that mean? When somebody is buried, it's the end of the old. The old has no more claims on that person. Example, if a man on the earth, let's say he had huge debt, he may have, let's say, 100,000 rupees in debt. Let's say he was alive, he had a lot of cases against him. Maybe in the court, there are many cases against him. Let's say he had all these problems. But the moment he dies, none of these things matter. He's dead, he's buried. This world has no more claim on him. The 100,000 rupees that he owed. Nobody can come and say, hey, wake up, pay that 100,000 rupees. He's dead, he's buried. It's over. There's court cases going on.  Come to the court, it's over. So burial, being buried, signifies a complete transition, a release from the old. The old has no more claim on you, the buried. So Paul is saying, we were buried with him. When Christ was buried, we were buried with him. He says, verse four, we were buried with him. That means the old life has no claim on you. Whatever sin, whatever problem, whatever was there in the old life, no claim, because you were buried with him. And he says, we were raised from the dead, just like Christ. So we can walk a newness of life. So resurrection means new life, new life.  Resurrection, you're given a brand new life. You're living the eternal life now. Eternal life does not start in heaven. Eternal life starts the moment you're born again, because all this is applied to you that instant. So right now you are walking in eternal life, meaning the life of God is in you. I know there is some part that's not true yet, meaning our bodies are mortal and we're going to go into the grave. All those things are there. But in our spirit, we have eternal life. It's already there. It started. And I know it will get better. We will receive glorified bodies. We will be with the Lord in heaven. All those things will come. But it has already started inside us. Eternal life has already started inside. We are walking in newness of life, because we are resurrected with Jesus. I'm going to pause here. We will pick this up starting from verse 11. We will pick this up next week. And I trust that you've been following with me. And these are just amazing chapters, Romans chapter 5 and 6, maybe my most favorite chapters along with Romans 8. It's like in the book of Romans, Romans 5, 6, and 8 are like just wonderful, wonderful chapters. So take some time to read on it. Think about it and chew on it. Just enjoy it. Okay. Any questions before we pray and close? We'll continue this next week. Okay. All right. I would just request somebody to please pray and dismiss the class. We'll go for a break after that. Who would like to pray? Okay. Go ahead, Kiran. Or Thomas. Okay. Let Thomas pray, because... All right. Let's... Thomas, go ahead and pray, please. Father, in Jesus' name we thank you, Father, we pray that you will be living. Father, thank you for such a wonderful revelation through Paul to the Holy Spirit of Lord.

Bless you, Daddy. Let your grace and mercy stay with us. Abundance. We love you. Praise you. We give you glory and honor. Jesus' name is written. Amen. Amen. Thank you, everyone. Enjoy. Oh, sorry.

Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is the exploding watermelon. So I have some great neighbors that let me come over and use their grandkids. We do experiments about once a week and today we are going to explode a watermelon. Thank you for letting us use your backyard and not mine. So adult supervision and safety goggles are required. Okay so we're gonna blow up a watermelon.  So right Ken the science dude is bringing the best for last before they go back to school next week and we are gonna blow up a watermelon. Yesterday was actually a national watermelon day so we missed it by a day but we're still celebrating. Perfect absolutely perfect. The watermelon we're gonna put rubber bands around it. Okay make a prediction out there whoever's watching how many rubber bands to be able to squeeze it all the way through to cut it in half to explode it. We got some guesses. A hundred and ninety. Hundred and thirteen. Hundred and thirteen. How many guess how many Parker. Two thousand. Two thousand. Papa. One ninety One ninety eight. Ken. I already know I've done this experiment before. Then we can't hear from him. What's happening is the potential energy is going to be squeezing it in and then when I get to that point when it's ready to burst the kinetic energy is going to bring it out and then kind of helps us cut the watermelon up for a seat. Awesome. Awesome. We got number sixty four size rubber bands here. Sixty nine. Sixty four. Sixty four. Okay it's already full surface. I had one ninety eight. I think you got about another eighty or ninety to go. Two hundred. Definitely got a figure going. So I slowed it down here in slow motion. We're starting to come up here. Here's four hundred and sixteen. You can see Papa backing up. He knows he sees a crack in it. He sees a little bit of liquid pumping out the sides as the rubber bands are squeezing that watermelon. It's about to explode any minute. When you see cracks in water coming out he knows better but P is not going to let that happen. Come on Papa come back one more. You can do it. So the boys decide hey they aren't coming in. We're doing number four hundred seventeen right here. P does get Papa to come in. I'm going to circle around to try to get a better view of this watermelon explosion as they're trying to put four eighteen on its boom. Explosion everywhere. Fifteen feet all around the yard. It's so thankful they use your there you are not mine. It's just watermelon everywhere. Success. Final count four hundred seventeen rubber bands. It's a success. Here it is in slow motion from a different angle. You just saw Papa was backing up. He sees a crack. He sees water coming out the top. He knows it's about to hit and right there you can see the rubber bands halfway cut through. I mean it's slicing that thing perfectly and one of the favorite shots right here that we freeze frame is how P's rubber band is catching the top of the watermelon which basically stopped it from launching about ten feet in the air. Though he did have watermelon pieces at least fifteen feet off to the side. I mean it was a complete mess and I know it was great that we did it in their backyard. What a fantastic fun science experiment. Thirteen! Thirteen! Too much of a mess does it? I was trying to get out of the way.


Welcome to Hack and Sack Meridian Health's podcast series for Women's History Month. I'm your host, Jody Mayberry. I have the pleasure of interviewing Nancy Corcoran-Davidoff, who is Executive Vice President, Chief Experience Officer, and Chief Human Resources Officer. With Nancy, we're going to explore the topic of researching and implementing best practices. This podcast is part of a series of dynamic short interviews sponsored by the Hack and Sack Meridian Health's Women in Leadership Team Member Resource Group. In fact, this group identified the topics of this series they felt were important areas to explore. Let's get started with Nancy Corcoran-Davidoff. Nancy, tell me the importance of researching and applying best practices from an organizational level. Obviously, when you're working in a healthcare industry, you know, it's science-based. Probably over the last 20 years, coming to any meeting or any initiative, people expect you to come to the table having done your research, having come with either best practices, leading practices, or a business case for why you're recommending a certain path or a certain method or a certain policy. So I think that research is part of a responsible way of making changes in an organization. It's not just willy-nilly that you've done research. You've validated that this is a meaningful recommendation. In my role as the Chief Experience Officer, we never really go to the table without doing our research to know that what we're recommending or suggesting is going to get us an outcome or a result. There's a lot of activity in the healthcare industry and certainly in hospitals. And so when you are asking people to do something, you want to be relatively certain that you're going to get a good result or an outcome or you're going to improve some process or resolve some issue. And I think you can't really do that unless you've done research and have high probability of success. What type of research and where do you look for best practices that might be a good fit for the hospital? In healthcare, there's a number of companies that do a lot of research, such as the Healthcare Advisory Board. I like to do a lot of reading. The Harvard Business Review Magazine and literary searches is quite lucrative also. But I do a lot of reading. I also have relationships with the Barrel Institute, which is an institute that is dedicated to improving healthcare for patients. We also have a relationship with an organization called the Experience Innovation Cafe. And their mission is also research-based to help organizations to improve the delivery of care and to humanize the delivery of care, improving communication and empathy and compassion, and reducing emotional harm for patients. IHI, the Institute for Health Improvement, is another organization. So in healthcare, there are numerous organizations that dedicate their mission is to provide us with research and basically provide us with best practices or leading practices that have improved outcomes. I mean, healthcare for as long as certainly as I've been involved in it, it has always been very transparent in terms of the science and the improving of outcomes. People are very willing to share how they've improved the way they deliver care for patients because they want it to be more of a systemic change adopted by the industry as opposed to just one organization. We are not at a loss at all in this industry for organizations that are dedicated to doing research and sharing that research with us. When you do come across a new best practice, something that's making a difference through the research that you do, how do you go about applying it? Because that's obviously the next step. You found something that matters and now you need to implement. There's two things I'd like to share with you around that. One is we have put together what we're calling our Experience Innovation Cafe. This is a venue and an event that we hold monthly. At that event, we choose a topic. It may be a problem or it may be something that we want to implement in the organization. We do research and we narrow down the solutions or the vendors to the top in the country that we believe are really delivering. We bring those vendors and those solutions to the Experience Innovation Cafe and we invite stakeholders from throughout the organization, all levels of the organization, including our team members, to come to that event and we have each of the solutions presented. We get feedback from the stakeholders and then we basically review all of that feedback. The next step after that is either to implement if the case is so strong and we believe that we should just deploy and move forward or we start to do pilots. We may pilot it in different areas of the organization to be sure that this is a right fit for our organization. It may have been successful in other places but maybe it's not right for us. We sometimes take a next step and we will pilot it and based on the results of our pilot, we make a final decision as to whether or not we're going to spread it organization-wide or in certain segments of the organization. That's one way that we validate the research and we pick the right solution for our organization. The other way that we're doing it is about a year and a half ago, we made a decision to establish a governance structure in the organization for the human experience work that I was going to be leading. That governance structure was a way for us to deploy how we get the work done. Once we make a decision that something is appropriate for the organization and should be deployed throughout our continuum of care, we take it through our governance structure. That's basically at the highest level of the organization we get buying for the strategy. We then go to the operations leaders and we get funding and we get approval for our deployment plan and then we basically, through a human experience governance committee, we then cascade that information out into the organization to groups that we call our quadruple-aimed councils. Those councils lead dyad leadership groups throughout their organizations that deploy this best practice or this solution. That governance structure is set up as a way for us to get this work done consistently and also our way to continue the research to make sure that we are monitoring the results and that we're getting the outcomes that we're expecting. It's a very robust structure and it also is bidirectional so it's not always top down. Sometimes the ideas will come from our team members or from middle management and they will bubble those ideas up to the human experience committee and then up to leadership. It's a very robust governance structure put in place to help us deploy and execute and continue our own organizational research. This is so helpful because it just shows that when something new is being implemented, how much of a process it passed through. It's not taken lightly that something new is being put in place. I love hearing how much it passed through to get to the people that are out doing the work. The Experience Innovation Cafe has been a tremendous success because the stakeholders can see the presentation and then we have time during the day for them to interact with the solution, to talk to the vendors, to talk to the people who have done the research or who have deployed the solution in their organizations so they can kind of touch and feel the solution or the product. There are very robust feedback and very clear opinions about whether they think it's good or bad or indifferent. That venue has been very successful for us. Actually our last venue, we had to cut off the attendance because we ran out of room for people to come. We actually also provided transportation because we wanted really to get people to come. Our organization spans the coast of New Jersey, I think 150 to 200 miles, and so it's quite a distance for people to come, so we decided to provide transportation to show the commitment that we have to get people there because their opinions are so important. One of the things that I'm also responsible for, human resources here in the network, and our team members have expressed to us time and time again during their engagement surveys that we do annually, that they want to be involved in decisions that involve or affect their work. This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate to them that we want their opinions, that we want them involved also and that their opinions are meaningful and that it will help us make a right decision. It also helps that they go through this process and then when we deploy, they feel like they had a hand in it and so they have a more vested interest in making it successful. They engage in whatever it is because they endorsed it or they felt that it was the right thing to do. We've examined best practices, how to research, how to apply as an organization what you do. How important is it though for individuals to take the same approach? Well, I think it's very important. I mean, anytime as a leader in the organization, anytime any of my managers or team members come to me with an idea or suggestion or a problem, I encourage them to come to me with their own research. First, how did they substantiate that this was an issue and is it an issue that is isolated or is it a systemic issue or is it an issue that's only affecting a small group? So they have to do some level of research because you can't react to every idea or every suggestion or every problem that someone brings up. You have to determine what's really meaningful to the organization. I think the recommendation or the suggestion or innovation also has to be supported because you want to be able to request resources. One of the ways that we're encouraging our team members to get involved in this process is we're starting what we're calling innovation grants. When we did focus groups with many of our team members, they said that it was sometimes difficult to get their ideas heard. So the Experience Innovation Cafe is one way for them to do that. But they also said that it was often hard also to get funds to start an idea or to test an idea or to do the research. And so we've started what we're calling innovation grants. And these grants are for team members and they put together a one-page application. Part of that application is explaining the research they did around this issue and the value that the organization is going to get from solving this issue. And if they have any ideas, where do they come up with these ideas, did they come up with them on their own, and this is their testing and their piloting and their own research, or did they get this idea from someone else and there is already research to back it up. We're supporting those grants and those ideas, again, to cultivate innovation in the organization. One of the things we want our team members to do is to be courageous and to come forward with ideas continuously on how to improve the delivery of care or the service levels that we're providing to the community. Many times team members feel like that's leadership's job or their manager's job and we don't take that approach at all. We really want the people doing the job, they're the best ones to help us to understand how we could do it better at a better value for the patients and the community. Let's say that I show up to work every day and I do a good job and I work hard, but I've never really thought about applying this, researching best practices and finding a way to improve my job personally. If this is something we haven't done yet, where do you recommend we can start? I think it's working with the supervisors and with your peers, with your other team members. I mean, there are simple things that people can do every day is examining how they're working and is there a better way for them to work. There's articles written about Toyota, right? Toyota, the Toyota production line. Anybody on the Toyota production line can stop the line if it's unsafe or if they have an idea about how to improve the production of that vehicle. We want to apply those kinds of principles in our organization to say anyone at any level is responsible to continuously improve how they're doing things. One, to make sure that our patients are safe. We are on a, I guess we call it a journey and I think it is that, of implementing high reliability throughout our organization, basically applying the airline aeronautics industries principles of checks and balances, safety huddles, getting everyone, wherever you work in the organization to think about safety, improvement and value. And I think that's where we're starting, is educating every single employee in our organization and everyone that's hired into our organization that this is one of our core values. It's to constantly be looking for ways to do things better, never to be complacent and also to be consistent. So when we set things in place that we believe create a safe environment for our patients in the community that you abide by that until you bring forth an idea that could improve it. But we want people to deliver highly reliable care in a way that our patients will value and then become loyal to our organization continuously come back. So I think high reliability is a very important way in which we communicate to every member in our organization that everyone's input is valued and that they should feel safe to bring forth their ideas. Thank you for listening. Please tune in for our other podcasts.


What's up everybody JC over jazzy's case breaks calm 2017 18 upper deck the cup hockey one box break random number block number 13 just sold out and again Everybody gets ten spots no teams assigned just numbers a random number from zero through nine And if you get number three block numbered randomized to you as an example You'll get all cards with three being the first number next to the dash on the left side So for example, we pull a hit out there that it's two forty three out of two ninety nine That'll be your hit thirteen out of ninety nine three out of twenty five forty three out of forty nine Etc. Etc. It'll go to number three block our redemption of cards will go to spot zero even if we know it's a one-on-one There could be non numbered cards in this cup hockey's the brilliant set I believe in signature renditions are unnumbered. So if they are any of them pulled in this break will randomize them all in one Lot and Someone will get that so here you go. Here's a dice. Well, here's a customer names and the numbers. Let's roll it three to three six times one two three four five and six Matt Buckler down a Matt Buckler six times here one two three four five and six Five down a two five down a zero Matt with five as well seven and four Steve with eight and three Timothy with one Shawn with nine Matt with six Stephen with two and Matt you have zero So let me know if you guys want to make any trades. If not, I'm closing it All right, TWC trade one and close Let's see if this is tough at least the right year. I know it's tough, but I feel like you 1718 One two for the top three four for the middle five six for the bottom one so one two top These will be for the next random number blocks, which would be number 14 and 15 All right, we start off with Craig Anderson 48 or 249 You didn't miss anything Joshua. We're just doing this hockey break really quick and then go back to mosaic 48 that's going to Steve We have will butcher five out of 249 spot five going to Matt Buckler I think I'll Matt get some devils for you We have James Neil honorable numbers four out of 18 Spot four also going to Matt Buckler. I don't know when James Neil was on the Vegas Golden Knights Expansion draft I believe you have a numbered card It's a Brady Shay brilliance. So again, someone will have a shot at this at the end of the break These are unnumbered we have Vile Huso 103 out of 249 spot three going to Steve and last one here is a Austin Matthews base 190 out of 249 zero going to Matt Buckler So there you go Just like that One box down Still potential for big monsters rookies in that box, but here you go a little recap and that Brady Shay Everybody have a shot at this So let's go back to a dice roller Let's get a list dice Just a customer names Let's roll it Five and a two for seven times one two three four five six seven Going to Steve congratulations at the seven times Going to get that pretty Shay Pretty sure you guys Jaspiescasebreaks.com


It is finally here. The Davis's Q&A review for NCLEX RN, which includes next gen NCLEX. So Davis products always come in book form and or with Davis Edge. So all together, you get over 12,500 questions, over 2,500 in the book and then 10,000 online in a test bank where you can have a drop down menu and see and select what topics you want to review. They tell you how the NCLEX is made up, how many percent of each section here is done. And as always, Davis gives you the question and the rationale. So here, for example, we have this question. The nurse teaches the client to compress and secure a JP wound drain, which image shows that this teaching was effective? So this is a question with a picture where you have to select which picture is correct. So when we go to the answer choices here, 659, it tells us illustration one, demonstrate proper care of the JP drain. It is compressed to provide suction and the cap is secure and the drain is secure to the client's clothing to prevent traction on the skin. As always, they also give you reasons why the other options are not correct. And then here for clinical judgment and to evaluate your outcomes, they tell you what to study for or what the reason is. So remember that a JP needs to be compressed to allow for negative pressure. Aseptic technique should be used when handling the cap to empty the drain and the drain should be secured and it does not pull on the client's skin. And then it tells you what concept area that pertains to. Now, if you do have the online version of all these questions, you get this oldest data in a chart and where the Davis Edge product will analyze all your tests that you've been taking and then it'll give you suggestions on what to review from there. And I also wanted to show you, there's a lot of different chapters. And then at the end, we have a comprehensive exam that again goes into different multiple choice.  You have these picture questions here. Then always you have some sort of graphs you might wanna need to interpret. You might need to interpret some labs, some food diary intake, a cardiac rhythm. Again, picture identification, lots of pharmacology questions and then case studies over case studies. And then again, the answers. And then at the very end of the book, you have all the new test items, case studies, bow tie and trend items so that you can go over those and then with the guidance of the book and the rationales, it'll tell you why did you get them right? Why did you get them wrong? So you have all these different items here that are very helpful. Remember, as always with discount code Petro20, you get 20% off all of the Davis products and I highly recommend this resource to get you ready for your next gen NCLEX. You got this.


Hello, sir. How are you tonight? We are setting up a DUI checkpoint. Have you had any alcohol to drink at all? We have officers out here looking to identify an apprehend drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You'll come in contact with one of the officers. The officers will conduct a quick investigation. Do you mind if I check your eyes real fast just to make sure? No, sure. Go ahead. Are they observing any signs of impairment, smelling alcohol, the odor of burnt marijuana? You just had the one one joint, right? If they reasonably suspect that there's something for them to investigate further, they'll ask the driver to step out. They'll run them through roadside maneuvers, which is standard field sobriety testing. If the subject doesn't perform those as a reasonably sober person would, the officer would have them choose between taking a blood test or a breath test. I just need to make sure that you haven't been drinking this evening. If you're going to consume alcoholic beverages, you get behind the wheel of a car, or you're going to smoke marijuana or take prescription drugs, you could potentially be arrested.


Chrome 77 Approacheth. Here's what's new in DevTools. First up, you can now copy an element CSS styles. I like the styles on this link element and want to copy them. First, I right-click and select Inspect to highlight the link in the DOM tree. Actually, I want to make the font italic first. Now, I'll right-click the element and select Copy Copy Styles, and when I paste to the clipboard, I can see the element styles, including my font style italic declaration. When you're reading an article and the content jumps around, that's called layout shifting. It usually happens because ads and images have finished loading and the page didn't reserve space for them. You can now visualize layout shifts from the Rendering tab. However, a word of warning, this feature can cause your screen to flash a lot, so if you're prone to photosensitive epilepsy, you might want to look away. To visualize layout shifts, first press Control-Shift-P or Command-Shift-P to open the command menu. Type Rendering, run the Show Rendering command, and then enable the Layout Shift Regions checkbox. Now, as you load or interact with pages, layout shifts are highlighted blue. The Audits panel has a couple new audits and a new metric. As always, if you want to find ways to improve page quality, go to the Audits panel, then click Run Audits, and after 10 seconds or so, the Audits panel gives you a report on how to improve. The Estimated Input Latency metric in the Performance section has been replaced with a new metric called Maximum Potential First Input Delay. The old metric did not factor into your performance score, and the new one doesn't either. The new Keep Request Counts and File Sizes Low Audit reports the total number of network requests and the size of each request. And down in the PWA section, the new Apple Touch Icon audit checks that your PWA can be added to an iOS home screen. DevTools now automatically syncs its theme with your OS theme. Right now, my OS is in its dark theme. When I open DevTools, it's also in dark theme. When I set my OS to its light theme, and then close and reopen DevTools, DevTools is also in its light theme. By the way, dark theme isn't new, we've had it for a long time. To manually enable it, press Ctrl Shift P or Command Shift P to open the command menu, type dark, then run the enable dark theme command. For light theme, run the enable light theme command. If you create conditional breakpoints or logpoints a lot, there's a new keyboard shortcut for opening the breakpoint editor. While my cursor is in the editor, I can press Ctrl Alt B or Command Option B on Mac to open the breakpoint editor. To choose my breakpoint type, I can press Shift Tab to select the menu, then Space to open the menu, then I can select either breakpoint or conditional breakpoint or logpoint. If you're not sure how to use conditional breakpoints or logpoints, check out the links in the description for more information. Prefetch links give you the chance to download resources before they're needed in order to speed up subsequent page loads. The network panel now indicates whether a resource came from the prefetch cache. On this page, I'm prefetching an HTML file and a CSS file. In the network panel, you can see that the resources were downloaded even though they're not actually needed for the page I'm currently on. When I navigate to page two, the size column tells me that the resources came from the prefetch cache. Check out our resource prioritization guide to learn more about prefetch. The console now shows private class fields. In this older version of Chrome, I'm defining a class called cat with a public field called name and a private field called color. When I inspect the object, I can't see the private field. In Chrome 77, after I define the same class and inspect the object, I can see the private field as expected. The background services section now supports push messages and notifications. A push message is when a server sends information to a service worker and a notification is when a service worker shows information to a user. To record notifications, go to the application panel, then go to the notifications pane. Then click record. Now when I send a notification, I see it logged to the table. I can click the notification to view more information about it. However, considering that this is a background service, it wouldn't be that helpful if it only worked when DevTools was open. So DevTools logs notifications and push messages for three days, even when DevTools is closed. For example, first I'll close DevTools, then change the title and message to closed, then send the message. To reopen DevTools, I'll press control shift I or command option I, which is the shortcut for reopening the last panel I was using, in this case the application panel. And here you can see that the second message was logged. Here's a bonus tip about a lesser known DevTools feature, the DOM Tree Search UI. To open the DOM Tree Search UI, focus the DOM Tree, then press control F or command F on Mac. You can search by strings like DevTools or CSS selectors like input type equals hidden or even XPath queries. Thanks for watching. We'll be back in six weeks for Chrome 78.
