This paper proposes a new semi-supervised classification approach for identifying urban changes caused by an earthquake. It uses a combination of labeled data, ground motion and fragility functions to accurately detect affected areas. This method has been tested on the 2023 Turkey earthquake sequence and achieved an accuracy of 81%, demonstrating its potential for rapid damage assessment in the aftermath of large-magnitude earthquakes. This article was authored by Imar Portillo and Luis Moya.


I believe with all my heart that you're watching this because you have a compassion in your heart for people. You care about others and everything in you desires to see others be saved, healed, delivered, empowered. You are focused on others. You are focused on the lost. And that great compassion that God placed in your heart drives you to a desire for the miraculous.  You desire to see those who are bound in wheelchairs walk. You desire to see those with deadly disease set free from that death sentence. And I believe that God's healing power is for today. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has not changed. And God today is still doing miracles. And I believe He wants to use you. So I want to show you from Scripture keys that I've learned about the healing ministry. Let's begin by reading Mark chapter 16 verses 15 through 18. And then he told them, go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe, those who believe what? Those who believe the gospel. So those who believe the gospel message will have these signs following them. They will cast out demons in my name. We, of course, have been given authority as believers over demonic powers. And they will speak in new languages or speak in new tongues. They will be able to handle snakes with safety. And if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. Here the Scripture is talking about authority over demonic power again.  That's God's healing virtue flowing through your life. In 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verses 7 through 9, the Bible talks about the gift of healing. So not only are we to lay hands on the sick to help in the work of evangelism, but we also are to lay hands on the sick in the church in serving one another. 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verses 7 through 9 verse 7 tells us a spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. Who is each other mentioned here in 1 Corinthians chapter 12? This is talking about fellow believers. So in Mark chapter 16 verses 15 through 18, the Scripture is talking about praying for the sick in the work of evangelism. So it helps to aid in the presentation of the gospel when we use the miraculous power of God. But then also we are to pray for one another. We see that in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 7 we saw that the gift is for helping each other to one person. Verse 8 now, the spirit gives the ability to give wise advice to another. The same spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same spirit gives great faith to another and to someone else, the one spirit gives the gift of healing. Now James chapter 5 verses 14 through 15 say this, are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins you will be forgiven. I believe that God wants to use you as a vessel of his healing power. Well if you have the faith to believe for the miracle, then I believe that the Holy Spirit will meet you there at the place of your faith. This is about preaching the gospel. This is about evangelism. This is about helping fellow believers. This is about seeing the works of the devil destroyed. And as I mentioned just a moment ago, I believe it was God who placed that compassion in your heart.   That compassion in your heart is from the Holy Spirit. And I believe that that compassion was placed there that you might be moved as the Lord was to minister. In fact that's one of the points I'm going to be talking about compassion. But we have to remember that the greatest example that we have in regards to the healing ministry is the Lord Jesus himself. We can look throughout church history and point to men and women who God anointed to pray for the sick. He gave them powerful healing ministries and they serve as wonderful examples of faith.  But ultimately well we can glean some truths. Well we can glean some advice. Well we can glean some wisdom from those who God has used in the healing ministry. Ultimately we look to Jesus. Ultimately we look to him as the standard. So the question isn't how did so and so do it. Or what was so and so's method. Different people were used in different ways and one ministry may not look like the other ministry. But ultimately you have to ground the healing ministry. That healing grace must be grounded on the principles of the word. Though the methodology may vary from person to person. Because God has created us all to be unique. Now we have to look to Jesus as the ultimate standard because there's a great danger when we look to the standard of man. So if we just compare ourselves to the healing evangelist who have gone before us. We're in danger of repeating their mistakes. So while honoring the grace on their lives. Well even gleaning some things from their experiences. That's wonderful. Ultimately we must fall back on the safety net. That is the example that Christ laid before us. These are the benefits of Christ's likeness. You see that power flowing. So first let's look at the fact that Jesus was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Philippians chapter 2 verses 6 to 8 say this. Though he was God he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead he gave up his divine privileges. He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on the cross. So here we see the scripture talking about the fact that the Lord Jesus shed from himself certain divine privileges. Now let me make this absolutely clear so there's no confusion about what I'm saying. Jesus always was always will be God. There was never a moment from the time of his birth to the time of his ascension where Jesus wasn't fully God. And by the way there was never a moment where Jesus didn't know that he was God. He was always aware of the fact that he was God. So let me make that clear. It's not as though Jesus stopped being God when he came to earth. No in fact the scripture talks about the fact that he laid down certain divine privileges and at any moment he could have picked them up. So he chose to limit himself in certain ways to demonstrate for you and I how to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. That was one of the reasons he did that but of course he had to come and die as a man.  But at no point did he cease being God so I want to make that perfectly clear. But Acts chapter 10 verse 38 tells us and you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him. So here it's very clear in the scripture that Jesus moved in the power of the Holy Spirit. So let me make this clear one more time. I know sometimes people don't like when I overemphasize the point but I think it's better to be clear rather than to be unclear and cause confusion. Jesus laid down certain divine privileges but he was always truly God and truly man. At any moment he could have picked those divine privileges back up so by his own will he surrendered to death upon a cross. And in doing so and living in this way he relied upon the power of the Holy Spirit. So that power came on him. He was baptized in the whole with the Holy Spirit and with power he was anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power and this is how he carried about his ministry. So that's key number one you and I have to rely on the Holy Spirit. It's not about methodology. It's not about technique. It's not about your personal experience. It's not about who raised you or who you know or your ministry connections. It's all about whether or not you're walking with the Holy Spirit. The key to the power of the Holy Spirit is the presence of the Holy Spirit. Spending time in the presence of the Holy Spirit is what ultimately brings forth true power. Now this is very important because I think sometimes we begin to rely upon the flesh. We start to rely upon techniques and methods and systems and we try to systemize what is spiritual. You cannot systemize that which is spiritual. So that's number one. Jesus was baptized in the Holy Spirit. He operated in Holy Spirit power. He flowed with the Holy Spirit. You and I should do the same. We're not relying upon human effort. We're relying upon the Holy Spirit and I think especially if we go several years of flowing in God's power we run the risk of falling on our experience rather than falling back on the Holy Spirit's power and so we need to make sure we caution, we exercise caution in that area. Next we see that Jesus had a prayer life. So prayer is ultimately what brings forth the will of God in the earth. Jesus prayerfully followed the directions of the Father. John chapter 5 verse 19 says this. So Jesus explained, I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself. He does only what He sees the Father doing, whatever the Father does the Son also does. Here we see again another example of Jesus having laid down at least for the time being those divine privileges and now He's relying upon the Father and the Spirit. So Jesus prayed when He was alone. We see that in Matthew 14.23 after sending them home. He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. Night fell while He was there alone and He instructs us to do the same. In Matthew chapter 6 verses 5 and 6 we see that Jesus instructs us to pray privately. So there's something about praying when you're alone. Private prayer reveals that you actually believe in prayer because if you didn't actually believe in prayer it would only be for the purpose of performance and therefore you'd only pray in public. But the fact that you believe in prayer is what drives you to pray privately and only those who truly believe in prayer actually pray privately. So if you want to heal like Jesus healed, you have to pray like Jesus prayed. If you want to walk in the power that Jesus walked in, you have to walk in the lifestyle that Jesus walked in. The closer you get to the lifestyle of Jesus, the closer you get to that power. So Jesus was disciplined. He would pray in the morning. We see that in Mark 135. He would pray at night. We see that in Mark chapter 6 verses 46 and 47. And He would pray often. Look at what Luke 5.16 says, but Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. And by the way in Luke chapter 6 verses 12 and 13 the Lord Jesus prayed all night before selecting the 12 disciples. So right before a major decision He increased His prayer life. Yet many believers just want to go out and they rely upon their own charisma. They rely upon their own faith. Look, we don't rely on our own faith. We rely upon Him. We by prayer are depending upon God.   He was modeling for us what it is to walk as a Son of God in the earth.  You need a prayer life. You want to see an intensification of the miracle working power of God in your life. You want to see the sick healed more often. You want to see greater miracles and there are different degrees of healings. Then you need to increase your prayer life. There's consecration that has to take place. If you want apostolic power, you need apostolic lifestyle. So pray like Jesus prayed.  So Jesus was baptized with the Holy Spirit.  Next we see that Jesus discarded doubt. Now, faith does not deny reality. Faith does not deny reality. Faith trusts and hopes despite reality. Faith changes reality. In Mark chapter 5, verses 35 to 42, the Bible says this. Well, he was still speaking to her. Messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, your daughter is dead. There's no use troubling the teacher now. So obviously, a very sad situation. Jairus' daughter dies. He had gone to the Lord hoping for a miracle before her death, but that wasn't God's timing. Verse 36, but Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, don't be afraid, just have faith. So this man's daughter is dead. Jesus says, just have faith. Then Jesus stopped the crowd and wouldn't let anyone go in with him except Peter, James and John, the brother of James. Verse 38, now, when they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw much commotion and weeping and wailing. He went inside and asked, why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn't dead. She's only asleep. And here in verse 40, the Bible says the crowd laughed at him, but he made them all leave and he took the girl's father and mother and his three disciples into the room where the girl was lying. And of course, verses 41 and 42 reveal that he raises her from the dead. But notice that the Lord put out doubt. He confronted that doubt and addressed it. Now, this doesn't mean that you can't have any doubt. Of course, we know in Mark nine, verses 17 to 26, that's the story of the man whose son was demon possessed. The disciples couldn't drive the demons out. When the man comes to Jesus, he says, Lord, if you can, the Lord says, what do you mean? If I can, anything's possible for those who believe. He says, Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief. Faith is action despite that doubt. So this doesn't mean that you need perfect faith or that there can never be a thought of any sort of doubt. Obviously you want to do as much as you can to curb that. But faith has to do with aligning your trust, hopes and beliefs with the word of God. So the situation may look bleak. The situation may look challenging, but your faith has to look beyond that particular circumstance. Ms. Coleman and her meetings would often put the wheelchairs in the very back of the room. And she didn't do this to be mean or because she was inconsiderate or because she had no compassion for the sick. She had great compassion for the sick. Rather, she did this because she didn't want to look with the natural eyes. She wanted to look with the eyes of faith. So by not seeing the wheelchair, she was able to just look in the spirit and see the healings. Now, again, this doesn't mean that we take every practice of every healing evangelist who has gone before us and implement it as if it's scripture and become dogmatic about it. But the principle there of addressing the doubt properly, of seeing through the eyes of faith, of choosing to trust the word of God despite what the circumstance says, that is the principle we're laying down here. And he addressed this doubt quite directly. And there are intimidating spirits that try to hang around and squeeze out the faith out of a room. In fact, we've had several services just, I want to say about a year ago, when we first came out here to Austin, I was on my way to service and the Holy Spirit spoke to me. He said, somebody is coming tonight to disrupt the service. I told the staff that I said, someone's here today to disrupt the service. And I'm up there on the pulpit. And I said what the Holy Spirit said, someone came here with the intention to disrupt, but I want you to know your power is broken here. Well, there was a lady there who did not like what was being said and toward the end of the service, she gets up and leaves. In fact, it was kind of funny because she gets up and she comes in front of me.  And she wanted people to see that she was angry and she was leaving. And the Holy Spirit said, that's the lady. That's the one who came to disrupt. But you see, by addressing that spirit, by addressing that issue, whereas one person tried to intimidate, the Holy Spirit pushed back on that by simply addressing it directly. Now, I am not saying that you call everybody out who you suspect of being suspicious or having doubt, okay? You don't do that, but you flow with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will help you to be bold and direct when addressing doubt. So you have to address doubt. And sometimes the doubt is in you. Sometimes the doubt is in the individual who's believing for their healing. But, you know, one side of them believes, the other side of them doesn't. You have to work with them, get them to that place of faith, which is the next point, which is Jesus worked with faith. Many times in scripture, like in Matthew 9.22 in Luke 18.42, the phrase was used, your faith has made you whole. So whether we like it or not, whether it sounds kind or not, the truth of the matter is that the scripture is quite clear that the faith of the individual sometimes plays a major role in them receiving their healing. Now, in the case of Jairus' daughter or Lazarus, the question may be, well, who had the faith for them if they were dead? So we understand that this is, of course, a general statement. And there are sometimes exceptions to generalizations. But generally speaking, faith is a key factor in the miracle. Now, this does not mean, please do not hear what I'm not saying. This does not mean that if the miracle didn't happen, that it was because the person didn't have faith. That's not always the case. Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. We have to at least consider it as a factor. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Now, of course, that's talking about the message of salvation, but the biblical principle there is that the word produces faith for what it promises. So when someone hears a promise from God, that produces faith in their spirit, and of course they're ready to receive. Mark chapter 6 verses 5 through 6, we see that Jesus wasn't able to do that many miracles in his hometown because of the unbelief of the people in his hometown. Well, they didn't regard him as a great man of God. They just saw him through the eyes of familiarity, if you will. And because of that, their faith was low and the miracles were few. But in places where the faith was high, the miracles would abound. So faith does play a role. Faith is a dynamic. Now, this is where in the healing ministry you learn you work with the faith of the people. If you come to one of our services that we do anywhere around the world, you'll notice that there's a certain way that we do it. Now, I'm not saying you have to use this method. In fact, I don't even use this particular structure to the service every time because sometimes the Holy Spirit will direct me. Actually, tonight, I want you to do it this way. But it's what I call spirit-led structure or spirit-led order. It's the way the Holy Spirit has led me to do it, where it will begin with worship. Then I'll preach a salvation message. I'll take an offering in the middle so we can get it out of the way. And then I go into ministering a healing message. And in that healing message, you'll notice I'm just talking about faith, talking about miracles. I'm sharing what the Scripture says about the power of God. And what I'm doing is I'm ministering the Word to produce faith in the hearts of the listeners. And I can sense in the Spirit. Now, what I'm giving you here, this is experience principally based on the Word. But again, don't become dogmatic about this. I'm not giving you a system to follow. I'm just showing you how I put this particular principle into practice. In those services, as I'm ministering the Word, I'm teaching on healing or I'm sharing a healing story, I can sense the faith of the people rising. Now, here's the mistakes some make.  And they will prematurely begin to pray for the sick or minister deliverance or healing or whatever it may be that's being ministered that night. They move in prematurely before the faith of the people has come to its fullness. So they'll share for five minutes and go right into it. Okay, well, maybe you get a few who come along with that. For example, my daughter often has me make her popcorn. Now, when I'm making the popcorn, there's been a couple of times where I left it in the microwave a little too long and it burns the popcorn. She doesn't like that. I have to make another bag. And then there's sometimes I make her popcorn and I take it out too early and it's mostly kernels that haven't popped with a little bit of popcorn. It's kind of like waiting for that perfect moment. If you wait too long, the popcorn burns. If you move in too soon, there are mostly kernels as opposed to popcorn. Same thing. I know it seems simplistic, but I just want to use it as an analogy because as I'm ministering to the people, I want to make sure that their faith has come to fullness. Sometimes when I'm ministering, they're just, you know, arms folded. They're just watching me. Let's see if this guy's the real deal. Let's see what he really wants. And sometimes they have to work past their own cynicism. They have to work past their own doubt. Sometimes they have to move past their own distractions. Many times they're coming from work. They're coming from home. They're coming from school. And so they're in that service and they have to come out of wherever they were. And this is why we'll worship and I'll teach the word and then we'll worship and I'll teach the word because I'm ministering to their faith. I'm ministering in a way that I believe will help them to come to fullness of faith. And if I move in before that moment, yes, there will be some miracles, but there will be many who haven't come to that fullness yet who don't receive. Now here's the other end of that coin. If I minister beyond that certain point where their faith has come to fullness, well now people are going, I got to get out of here. And some preachers make this mistake. They want to give a 45 minute message. And I've learned that if you have a message and you can sense that now is the time to move out in power, forget about your notes at that point because some preachers are very like, well, I haven't finished point three, four and five, like forget it. Their faith is full. You got to move now. So some preachers overfeed them, if you will, and they take them now to the point of where they're operating out of intellect. And so there's a fine balance. Me, I can tell that this all works with me. Again, don't take this as a system that you have to follow. But again, the principle of working with their faith is what I'm talking about. As I'm ministering, I can sense their faith coming to fullness and I can literally from the bottom of my feet, I can feel this, this like, I don't want to say it's like an oil, like, like, like almost like the anointing oil. I can just feel this, this sensation coming up from the bottom of my feet. And it's like this hot tingly sensation. And it comes all the way up. And I wait until it comes right to the top of my head. Then I feel like it's come to fullness. And as I feel this, sometimes people notice I'll rock back and forth. And I'm just, I feel like I'm just caught in this wave of the spirit. And so as I'm ministering, worshiping, producing the Word, producing the teachings that will bring forth faith, because God's Word does not return void, I sense the moment their faith comes to fullness. And once I sense that fullness, I begin to rebuke sickness, begin to rebuke disease, begin to pray for the sick. And that's when the miracles begin to happen. Now, it does not rest on me, but this is just the way the Holy Spirit leads me to do it. So the principle primarily is work with their faith. Some people need a little more of the teachings. Some people need to hear a story, but you're working with their faith. Now think about the fact that for the woman with the issue of blood, it was a single touch. That's Luke 8, 43 and 44. For the Centurion servant, Luke chapter seven, it was a Word that was sent forth. So God would do different things. Jesus would do different things for different people based upon where they were. And you notice he didn't necessarily minister to the sick the same way every single time. There were different ways that he would work with their faith. So for one, it's a touch. For another, it's a word. For another, it's mud in the eyes. But either way, it's working with their faith. So that's another principle of ministering healing. Next, we see that Jesus had compassion. Jesus was moved with compassion. Luke 17, 11 through 15, Matthew 20, verse 34, Mark chapter one, verse 41. That compassion is what drives the healing ministry. Now please hear me carefully. That healing compassion in your heart is what brings forth longevity in the healing ministry. You want to know how to be faithful to this ministry? If you're not careful, you'll no longer see people. You'll just see crowds. Some of you know what I meant by that. You stop seeing people. You start seeing crowds. And I'm not just talking about public ministry. I'm talking about just operating in this healing grace in general. I'm using public ministry as an example, of course. And you just start to see not that someone's life is transformed or that that's an individual who now won't suffer in this way or that way. And instead of seeing it from their personal perspective, you kind of just see it as, oh, another miracle on the list. Another cool story to share. Another check mark on my list of testimonies. And while we rejoice in testimony, well, it's awesome to hear healing stories. You have to realize that they're more than just a healing testimony. They're more than just another great story to help you grow your ministry. They're more than just just a cool thing that you witnessed or a demonstration of power. These are people who are suffering in sickness. And when you see a miracle happen, it's not just a cool testimony. It's somebody's life being completely altered. I can't tell you how many times I've heard testimonies from people, and it's wonderful. Or they'll message me and say, Brother David, we couldn't have children. This is our son. Or Brother David, we couldn't, I couldn't eat without issues with digestion. Here I am enjoying a meal. I'll never forget when I was in Northern California ministering to a woman who'd been wheelchair bound. And she sent, we got a video from one of her friends who knew some people at our ministry. She sent a video of her that very weekend dancing at a wedding when she was bound to the wheelchair, dancing at a wedding. And I'm saying, Lord, this is this. Remember when Jesus said, the food I have, you know, not of, I've eaten food you know, not of. And the disciples were like, Lord, who brought you food. But of course he was talking about having ministered the gospel to that woman at the well to do the will of the father. It's, ah, it's fulfilling. It's life giving. You see the work of the Holy Spirit in these people's lives. And you're bursting with joy. And if you don't see it that way, and it's not compassion that you're operating in, you will fizzle out. You'll lose the drive. You'll lose the motivation. Why? Because it's just just miracles. It's just cool stories. It's just, you know, for some, sadly, it's just great PR for their ministry. And it's like, no, my goodness, these are lives transformed. So that compassion gives you longevity because it keeps you focused on why you do it. And by the way, that compassion will drive you to deeper places because here's what happens. When you pray for someone who is sick and they don't get healed, everything in you says, okay, how do I, how do I get to the place where I can even see that healed or that level of miracle happen or that, that healing virtue flow and that kind of a situation and you're driven to the prayer room. You're driven to study the word.   So that compassion is very important. Jesus, Jesus responds to the cry of the desperate. Jesus responds to the cry of the desperate. Don't just see people, don't, or don't just see testimonies, see people. So have Jesus work with their faith. Jesus had compassion. And finally, Jesus set an atmosphere. Now, I think we have this misconception about Jesus and his ministry. And we imagine that Jesus just kind of aimlessly wandered around without any structure or intention, but that's not at all what Jesus did. In fact, Jesus would come into a region. He would find a venue. He would use that venue to preach a message. And then after preaching his message, he would pray for those or sometimes before preaching his message, he would pray for the sick. He would cast out devils. He would perform miracles. That was the mode of his ministry. That was the methodology. So he would go to a region, find a place to preach. Why would he do that? Why not just do it anywhere? Why preach the word? Why get them to sit down and listen? Because the atmosphere is sometimes necessary to help the people receive. Now, people often ask me things like, well, why do you need the music? Well, I don't need the music, but people do. People need the music and people need the worship and people need the word and people need the focus. Can God move without these things? Absolutely. God does not need an atmosphere to move. People need atmosphere to receive. Think about the salvation message, for example. If you're trying to share the gospel with someone and they're just distracted by everything going on around them, they're kind of halfway listening. They're going, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. And they're busy. This is why sometimes it doesn't work when you're evangelizing on the street and people are in a hurry. They're not going to hear it because they're distracted. But you get someone in the living room, a personal conversation. You're opening up, they're opening up, and now you can share the gospel. That's the atmosphere to share the gospel. When someone is caught in worship and they're no longer focused on the cares of this world and they're no longer focused on what worries them. They're just looking to Jesus. Well, my goodness, that's an atmosphere for miracles. Why? Because when Jesus becomes more real to you than your sickness, the healing results. When you're so focused on your presence that you forget about the sickness, that's when healing virtue begins to flow. And so we look here to Luke chapter 5, verse 17. I'll begin there. One day he was teaching and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee in Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for him to perform healing. And some men were carrying on, and some men were carrying on a bed, a man who was paralyzed.  But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd. They went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher into the middle of the crowd in front of Jesus. Watch this. Now, seeing their faith, there we see faith as a factor. He said, friends, your sins are forgiven. You, the scribes and the Pharisees, began to reason, saying, who is this man? Who speaks blasphemies? But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, why are you reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier to say? He's going to prove himself here. Your sins have been forgiven you or to say, get up and walk. But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic, I say to you, get up and pick up your stretcher and go home. Immediately, he got up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God. Of course, everyone was astonished. But nobody's here. I want to go back here to the beginning of the text where the scripture says quite clearly, and the power of the Lord was present for him to perform healing. This is quite the stark contrast to Jesus being in his hometown because there he can only do a few miracles here. The faith was high, so the power was present. Well, how can faith be high? Well, that's partly due to atmosphere. It's getting people to focus and I'm giving you things that many people don't talk about, but it's important that we know these things. You see, when people get into an atmosphere of worship, when they become so focused on the Lord that they're no longer focused on their sickness, that really is the breeding ground of faith. To look to Jesus is to have faith produced in your heart. And so in our services, this is what we do. We set an atmosphere. We make sure there's a place for the people to sit. We make sure that there are no distractions. We make sure that everything is honoring to God in the way it's presented. And this allows the person to focus and to receive and to not be distracted by all the cares of the world. And in that place, now it's conducive for them to receive the word, for them to have their faith boosted. These are keys to the healing ministry, guys. So we see he was baptized with the Holy Spirit. He had a prayer life. He dealt with the doubt. He worked with the faith. He had compassion and he set an atmosphere. Now, as you use these keys, I believe that God is going to make you a vessel of healing. Write this in the comments. Say, give me healing hands. Write that in the comments. Let that be your prayer. Give me healing hands. The prayer I used to pray. And still to this day, I often think of it and often pray it. When I was about 11 years old, when I started praying this, I said, Lord, let my hands be your hands. Interesting. As I just said that I felt real intense heat on my hand here right now. I used to say, Lord, let my hands be your hands. Heal through them.  Help me to see things, people in situations, the way you see them.  I want to hear your voice.  I want to speak your truth.  Take me where you want me to go. Let my being be your being. Let my heart beat as one with yours. Crucify my will. And in its place, resurrect your own.  Let that be your prayer. Say, Lord, give me healing hands. Write that down right now. Let that be your prayer. Father in the name of Jesus. Wow. Strong impartations taking place here. Strong impartations taking place. Lord, I thank you that your healing virtue is flowing. Touch your people. Heal them in Jesus' name. In part to them, Lord, gifts of healing cause them to walk in your miracle working power as they minister according to your word.  Help us to do as you did. Help us to live as you lived. We honor. We bless you. Now you're believing for a healing. Let's pray. You're believing for a healing. Let's pray. I want to pray for my friend, Mary who's watching right now. You called me on the phone just before the stream and I told you I'd pray for you right now. So let's pray. Father in the name of Jesus. I rebuke sickness and disease. Bring strength to her body. I come against every demonic attack in the mighty name of Jesus. Let the power of the enemy be broken now in Jesus' name. And are you watching? Just receive this. Thank you, Lord. Father, bring healing to hearts. Bring healing to bones and to nervous systems. Thank you, Lord, that you're healing cancer, digestive issues, skin disorder. I rebuke it in Jesus' name. Injuries of all kind be healed in the mighty name of Jesus. I can, I can feel like tingling on my hands right now. That's his power flowing. Just receive that. Thank you, Jesus. Wow. He's a healing Jesus. Thank you, Lord, that you're healing virtuous flowing like a mighty river. Touch your people. I pray in the name of Jesus.

Don't you recommend turning off DMs for scam purposes? Anybody want to screenshot that anywhere? Anybody ever heard me say that? No. I tell you, don't get into direct messages with people. If you are one of our members and you are caught direct messaging people, I will remove you from our room for breaking our rules. But it has nothing to do with that. I have a whole video on that. Go check out the discipline video. It avoids all kinds of issues. Everything from people, listen, we've had good-hearted people. I'm going to go ahead and talk about a few of them. We've had good-hearted individuals become friends in our room and things of that sort. But what's weird is these long-distance friend-relationship things where you're making friends online or whatever, the only thing it does is cause problems. So just to be honest, I don't say the only thing. There can be other things, but the risk is too great for the reward because we've had people who have guilted people into making them feel like they have a health problem all of a sudden. And listen, it's going to happen to everybody. I just want to warn everybody. It's like, oh, we're filling this health problem. Listen, dime a dozen. You are not guaranteed health here on earth. You are not guaranteed to live here forever. Everybody's going to die. Get used to it. Your health is not everything.  Did your dad care about living a long time? How did he eat? Did he eat well? Did the mom help him out? Did she feed him right? Listen, don't share your stuff with me about your family life. If you don't want my chastisement of the same, okay? And I'm not interested in chastising your family. I'm not interested in chastising your decisions on how you take care of your temple because I believe that the physical body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. And if you didn't take care of the body and look at the same time, I get people like, well, my dad, he did everything right. Everything. Yeah, so we always hear, but you know what's crazy? People have hidden sins that nobody knows about. And it is not our obligation to try to solve those for you. And if you're coming into our room and talking about your health problems and other people's health problems that are related to you, those health problems and related things to you are your challenge from the Lord. They are not ours. They are not mine. They are not anyone else's in our room.  Everything here on earth is a test. Okay?  What matters, now I can help you with this one. You want to make sure that before your mother, father, uncles, aunts, Joey, niece, whoever is saved before they die, I can help them with eternity. You understand me? Let me repeat that for you. I can help you with eternity.  Yes, everyone. Did you know this? Everyone has eternal life all of it.  It just depends on where you're going to spend it. In heaven or hell, my friend. It's very simple. Now that part I can help you with, but you're going to come in there and start guilting people on to being like, hey, you know, pay for my mom's heart transplant, whatever, pay for my dad's knee surgery, blah, blah, blah. Pay for my, listen, you do not need to guilt people into it. You do not need to come and ask for those things. But that happens. People get in direct messages and all of a sudden they're like, oh, donate to my kid's charity event. Oh, donate to my whatever. Like, why? It's sorry. You know, like, but that stuff happens.  You have that type of stuff going. We've had sexual harassment happening in here. Okay. We've had, you know, females who are trying to trade, trying to take care of their stuff and whatnot. And all of a sudden like they're getting DMs all over the place and DCDM and Q on the two, you know, just bad situations. I have yet to find great, now good. Sure. There's good things that can happen in direct messages. Oh, I help this guy do it. Well, why not just do it in public? Right? Don't be tempted. Exactly. Don't, I don't start the temptation. Okay. Because it starts with a friendly DM. Okay. Starts with a, hey, how's it going? Oh, it's just curious how things are going. Oh yeah. Hey, hadn't seen you around in a while. If I hear one more person in our room coming, I haven't seen so-and-so in a while or where so-and-so, who knows? Maybe they died.  Life is short folks. Life is short and take care of yourself. Take care of the things you need to take care of. Like, well, it's nice to take care of others. If that person needed your help, they would have contacted you and you're not the first on their list.  They've never seen your face before. Come on, get real. I get it. We start to create these, you know, fake relationships online with these, you know, social media connections and whatnot, which again, social media can be good for a lot of things, but in the same way, it can be bad. If you can say it in a direct message and say it in private, you can say it in public. And if you can't, in fact, I challenge somebody, give me an example of something that can only be said in private. They can't be said in public. Try to find me, I mean, think really hard. I want to find the exceptions to the rule. You're hanging out here in our Discord channel chat. Talk about something that you need to talk about in private that you can't talk about in public. Where do you go? Nothing. The thing is, is anything that can be said in private can be said public. And what's interesting is it'd be like, well, so-and-so can benefit from this. Guess what? So could everyone else? Let me repeat that for you. If it can be beneficial to one, it can also be beneficial to, I wouldn't say all, but some. There are some others. Somebody else is going to have that same question or same issue. There are a lot of silent types in our room. A lot of people that don't talk a lot, but they're coming in there to find things.  They don't mind scheduling a call with me, but they're not interested necessarily in talking in public and things of that sort. But they say they learn so much from the public chat. I have a reason for everything that we do here. Everything I ever do. Every single thing down to when I fart is thought out.  There is nothing. I promise you nothing we have overlooked. Do not step before I look. So just keep that in mind. And it's for your own good. It's for your own good. It's for our own good. It's for everyone's benefit. I promise.

Very often what people do with a wild turkey is they just remove the breast and Then they throw everything else away.  It makes incredible stock now These are the wild turkey tenderloins inside the tenderloin There's this tendon right here That I like to remove and you can just kind of work your way around it or you can in the night turkey breast There are some fibrous areas that I like to remove.  I have wild boar Italian sausage on my camp chef stove That's gonna go inside my stuffed wild turkey breast. I want to cut a big pocket in this.  I've got boar sausage Mushrooms onions wild turkey is actually a lot more on the dry side than chicken So if you're complaining about your wild turkey being dry Chances are you what you've probably done is overcooked it But if we put some things like boar sausage and mushrooms and onions and I'm gonna put a little cheese in there and then stuff it Well, that's gonna help it quite a bit. I want to put a little fresh basil in here And like I said you could tie this or wrap it in bacon if you like I'm just gonna fold it over wait a minute cheese And if you put a little breadcrumbs in there, it'll keep the cheese from running out I put my rolled and stuffed turkey breast Same side down so the same side where it all comes together. That's down so that will seal so all the junk doesn't run out I'm gonna let it set up and I want to put some fresh avocado on top and Again the key to wild turkey cooking is to not overcook. I've got the wild turkey look It's got the sausage the mushrooms the cheese it's stuffed. It's gorgeous. You can do this in a camp chef smoker also


U.S. and British ships were hit again in the Red Sea. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels said they struck U.S. and British ships in two separate attacks in the Red Sea, one of which was confirmed by a security firm. Houthi spokesman Yahya Sari said the first attack targeted the American ship Starnasia while the other targeted the British ship Morning Tide. He noted that both ships were struck with appropriate naval missiles. Sari went on to note that the missile attacks came in support of the oppressed Palestinian population in Gaza and in response to joint American British aggression against Yemen. He underscored that all U.S. and British warships in the Red Sea and the Arab Sea are legitimate targets for Yemenis within the legitimate right to respond to any act of aggression, defend their homeland and nation and in reaffirmation of their staunch support of Palestine. The senior Yemeni military figure also emphasised that his country's military will continue its anti-Israel operations until the Tel Aviv regime halts its onslaught against Gaza and lifts all restrictions on supplies of humanitarian aid for its residents. Security firm Ambri had earlier reported a drone attack on a British-owned cargo ship of rebel-held Yemen, the latest in dozens of incidents in the Red Sea. The Barbados flagged ship reportedly incurred minor damage on the port side in an attack off the rebel-held port city of Hodeidah. Ambri said, adding, there were no casualties. The ship speeded up and performed evasive manoeuvres before continuing south toward the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait. The firm said, British maritime security agency UKMTO said it had received a report of an incident off Hodeidah.


Let's now go back and revisit what is climate change. The first thing that we realise that's significantly different is that we've got almost a watt per square meter of extra energy. And when we think about how that extra energy is distributed around the surface of the Earth, it's not going to be uniform. We're going to have areas where it's higher and areas where it's lower. And so we've got an intensification in a local scale. Now you can see why we're getting these intense thunderstorms, very high winds, big hail storms, tornadoes. The intensification of the gradients which cause local weather are manifesting themselves in these extreme events. The rate of urbanisation and the rate at which we are emitting carbon dioxide is very rapid and has not leveled off. And so this means that the atmosphere is in a continuous flux. And that has consequences for what to expect in the future because we're not going to get oscillations and then a new equilibrium because we keep changing the ballpark. And so these oscillations are going to continue until such time as we can level off the carbon dioxide emissions or at least the carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and the amount of urbanisation that we are inflicting upon the landscape. What that means in terms of extreme events is a little bit difficult to answer. We certainly expect the intensity and the frequency of occurrence to continue increasing for some time. But danger is and something that people, especially in the insurance world I suspect are very worried about is that these events are going to become much larger in scale. So we're going to be getting very large disaster areas and we've seen evidence of this. The fires, for example, earlier in 2020 that took out a lot of southern New South Wales. The millennium drought that covered huge areas of southern New South Wales. There's a pattern here. Flooding over large areas. Heat waves. These are all things that we expect to continue to occur with increased frequency and intensity.


Hi, my name's Koolahan. I'm an explosive detector dog and a patrol certified dog. I'm a Belgian Malmois, born and raised at Lackland Air Force Base.  We first start off with the obstacle course. It helps me practice everyday scenario that I might run into like running upstairs or jumping through a window. Next I search a car by sniffing anywhere I think a bad guy might hide explosive. I'm suited for this job because my nose has roughly 300 million receptors and it compared to humans who have only 6 million receptors. I'm also patrol certified meaning that if I have to I can protect my handler and other personnel by biting an individual or finding an individual in a building or open field. I need to be able to not bite an individual when they come into my handler because not everybody's bad. This is what we call the field interview. Next we did the standoff. If an individual is running away from me but decides to give up and be compliant I'm able to stop and not bite that person. Next we did the search. My handler makes sure that the individual has no type of weaponry on them that's going to hurt myself or my handler. I have to provide overwatch to make sure the individual doesn't hurt my handler or try running away. In my free time I like to lay on the bed and enjoy it while I can. I also like to chase after the cats on base if I ever see them. There's this one that I don't like too much. He gets in my face if I get too close to him and he doesn't move. A lot of people don't understand that I'm just like any other dog. I love attention. I love play and I like to have a good time. I might be scary and mean on the outside but on the inside all I want is some love.


Hi everyone, this is Jason Zak from Nathaniel School of Music. In this lesson I am going to talk about three very organic things you need to do as a musician which are not really there in textbooks or most syllabi or most methods of teaching and for some reason I find these three methods probably the most important for my journey as a musician to play music professionally with a variety of artists with a different set of genres and even during recordings to bring out that emotion into what you're doing. So what this lesson is going to take up are things which matter beyond the chords, beyond the notes you have to play, beyond the technical stuff like the scale, the pattern, the rhythm, the arpeggio, what should the left hand do, what should the right hand do, when should they both intersect with each other, you know. So we are not going to get into those technical things, it's more the general things which you need to do beyond the given things which you read in sheet music or which you listen to in a song. So whenever you watch a video on how to play a song or any concept or even when you read a piece of sheet music, yes it does give you the information but it doesn't necessarily get you to play like a pro to get you to play in a way which arguably most of the professional piano players or in general all musicians have in common. Anyone who reaches a certain level on their instrument tends to inculcate these things into their practice. Now when I'm saying this I'm not trying to say that the concepts covered in this lesson are going to take you years and years. It's just some things I've learned over time as an artist which I feel I should have probably done when I was new to the piano. Instead of focusing on the technical stuff maybe I should have gotten more of the obvious natural organic general stuff. So in this video we are going to look at the three natural or organic things which I want you to do while playing the piano and this is a great set of three checklists or bullet points if you will. Whenever you're playing a song before you want to perform it in front of people, before you want to record it and showcase it to your friends, family or your own YouTube or Instagram channels these are the three things you may want to checklist before you actually put out that song because sometimes when we record our music on any instrument we really don't know whether we played it nicely or poorly or if there's room for improvement and so on and so forth. Sometimes you play something with a lot of heart with a lot of energy and then after a good night sleep after the adrenaline settles so to speak you wake up and then you realize oh man I have to redo this take or if only I had played it better before it made it made it into the final recording and so on. So here are a few things to ensure that that will not happen that the moment you played you can feel that yeah I am going somewhere and I have the right vibe required to execute this particular piece of music on the piano or pretty much any instrument even if you're a drummer or a guitar player this lesson should perhaps help you. Now before I get cracking it'll be awesome if you could hit that bell icon and hit the subscribe on our Nathaniel School of Music YouTube channel that will help us go a long way and you can also support us on Patreon at different tiers you could also consider a course at our school a semester program for six months at whichever skill level you're at so let's get cracking with the lesson. So the first thing you need to understand with music are what I call the three dimensions or the three axes of music which we are in control of whenever we play our instrument first off as we all probably know time so time is generally looked at in the X or the X dimension and we time is generally followed in a micro level or at a macro level so at a micro level you're looking at okay I have a note how long should it be played for should it be 1 2 3 4 or 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 or 2 1 2 1 2 or 1 1 1 3 or even half 1 2 3 4 or you know triplets 1 2 3 4 so time is always a factor for your note because you can't just play a note you have to figure out how long is the note and also is it a subdivision of the beat right because the beat is generally what the audience are going to feel when they listen to you playing the audience is not going to get into the technicality of what note you're playing how long is your note and they're not going to move their body to that they are going to move their body to the natural pulse which you give them and then all of those notes would be governed by that natural pulse so if the pulse is this 2 3 4 you would either be on the beat you'd be multiplying the beat 3 4 in this case I'm playing minims or you'd be dividing the beat 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 and so on so this is how you look at or target the X axis the X axis is basically how long is each note and then at a macro level you tell yourself that the X axis will be moving at a certain speed that's what we call the tempo of the song that's the rate of flow of the beat 1 2 3 4 versus 1 2 3 4 versus 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 you see that right so that's what we call the tempo and also the X axis or the time axis will be governed by the cycle length or what we call as in music meter or time signature is it 4 beats per cycle or measure or is it 8 beats per cycle or measure or is it 7 6 5 9 13 17 31 or whatever so these things considered that's your X axis the Y axis is very easy you just figure out what note you're going to play is it G is it F sharp is it a chord is it a note is it a melodic phrase or is it a harmonic phrase so the Y axis is telling us pitch is the pitch played together or is it played one by one one by one be melodic together would be harmonic in nature so you combine the Y and the X and you pretty much have music it's like which note should I play among the palette of 12 right a b c d e f g and then the five sharps and flats and then you figure out should I play those notes melodically or harmonically then you figure out how long should each of these notes be should they be for half a beat or should they be for a whole beat or should they be you know multiplying by 3 or multiplying by 2 and so on and so forth so now the next dimension or the what I call is the Z axis will control the level at which the Y and X are going to showcase themselves now the Y axis at a very micro level could be looked at which note to play but then at a more macro level you would try to argue with scale because you don't play all the 12 notes in a composition right you will be playing seven notes or five if it's pentatonic maybe seven it's a scale so the X axis you look at micro macro even Y axis you look at it in a micro macro way micro as in which note macro as in which is the set of notes am I in the major scale am I in the minor scale and in which key am I in the key of B or a flat or C major or F minor and so on now the Z axis or the Z axis what I also call as the volume axis is something which will come into play once the X and the Y are sorted once you know okay I have to play this note for this length but then how loud should you play that note of that length right so you play a C can also argue with C higher lower or whatever you say okay the C should be for two counts one two three but you're not arguing how loud should it be so that is the dynamics or the volume axis now even volume can be at a micro or a macro level at a micro level you're saying play the C super soft but then you generally look at volume over a phrase or over a few bars of music or maybe over a section of a song so during one section you say play soft and then build up and then go to the next section which is louder so that's how volume can happen right one section you do it soft the other section you do it loud so as you journey forward learning your desired instrument or your chosen instrument you tend to realize that these are the three things which need to be more and more within my control time pitch and volume so I have these three strategies which I think will help you or in your journey to play not only a polyphonic instrument like a piano but pretty much any instrument you you put your hands to so the first thing I would encourage you to do is when you're playing music or a piece of music or a song is move your head or move some part of the body to the pulse now I know I've said this a lot like a broken record in a lot of the previous YouTube videos by making this first point very very clear you need to if you are playing a piece of music you need to be able to deliver the pulse not only for your audience first first for yourself because if you want to play your instrument with conviction let's say you have a pattern you have a I'm playing a lot of notes but what's holding this together is if you observe my head it's always moving to the pulse and why I recommend head for piano is because your legs are generally going to be taken over by the pedals especially if you play the piano for a few years your your foot is now playing the sustain pedal so you can't really tap your foot as we tend to tell guitar players guitar players I would recommend you to tap your foot but you can also move your head if you're watching this video if you're a singer it may be tough to move your head and sing so then you can tap your foot if you're a horn player if you're a violin player I think the foot will work so head or foot or some part of the body which is triggering the pulse of the song now this can be helpful in so many ways one is it helps you as a composer if you're making a song your song automatically has purpose you may have a song you may have a riff you may have a lick you have a small phrase or whatever it may be it gives you purpose and the other thing with the pulses it gives you confidence if you play music you know it's like if I can move my head with my own piano real-time I know I can play with anyone on planet Earth and it's very very true so you have that confidence to walk into a jam room environment or even in a concert and be like I can play this gig or I can play with these musicians and playing on the pulse is as a recording artist as a musician who records a lot in a studio myself included you are always uncertain of time you're always not knowing am I on time am I with that metronome we hear that metronome tick tick tick tick going on a lot during our recordings right so you try to argue am I with that metronome in the first place and a good way to be you know not so self-conscious when you're recording and be solely into the music having the metronome should just be this electronic friend which is just a reassurance that you are on time now you need to have your own natural sense of timing before you walk into a studio you we don't use the metronome to be slaves to it we use the metronome just to be with the DAW with the production software and to be aligned with all the other tracks which we are working on right so you need that natural sense of time and I feel that that needs to come from you from within and what better way to get it out than your own body so as you play music whatever you play as simple as it may be and the head moving the head or the body kind of also backfires or gives you something as a reward so to speak on an instrument like the piano or the bass or the guitar by moving your head your body is kind of sending music to the instrument we always wonder I'm sure how do we make music right it's a huge huge mystery but if we let our subconscious ecosystem drive our fingers or drive our you know limbs to play our respective instruments that's a lot better than being told what to do so I don't think you can compose when you're told what to do when you have to stare at a piece of sheet music or stare at a brief when we make art we are always in the dark if we are starting from scratch from a blank canvas so the only place to seek guidance or to seek direction is from within from our own body or our own subconscious mind so moving the head is something I would encourage you all to do right now whatever you're learning whether it's a song whether it's a recording or even if you're a teacher or a regular musician you you need to always come convey your ideas to whoever it may be your student your audience or whoever it may be with your head whatever you want to ever play for anyone you should be able to play it with your head moving or leg or some part of the body sometimes I move my entire torso so that could also help with the music I play a lot of rock so it kind of works on stage as well as you sometimes see a lot of rock musicians do we move a lot we jump headbang I'm not suggesting that you do all of that fancy stuff if you want to feel free but just move your body a little bit here in there okay let's move forward now how do we get the y-axis into play how do we control the y-axis as a composer as an improviser or as a student of this amazing field of music you need to sing so what I mean by that is if you play the piano let's say your right hand is doing or let's say your left hand is playing a chord progression something like this now you want to get something going in your right hand try to sing it before you even decide to play it in the right hand and it's a bit tricky but try to match that try to match what you're singing on the keyboard on the piano you can do this even on the guitar so this is where you're playing with purpose you're playing what you want to play rather than play what you can play with what your fingers end up doing and this is also a good practice tool because as we I'm sure you probably agree or you would have been told this and you would have told many other people this in many walks of life good practice is always doing something you don't know right so when you practice something on the piano in a robotic way just playing what you did yesterday and getting super fast at it I don't think that's practice that's just work or that's just you know using energy or spending energy so I like to spend energy wisely I want to grow I want to improve each time so I think when you bring in the data from your mind through your voice it pushes your fingers to get better and to do things which it could never do and in turn compose music as well play things which you have never played before that is a composition so just a simple set of ideas on this front so you go so try to do this take a chord sing a tune now you can do a call and response at your own pace you can respond quicker or you can respond take your time now you may not be able to do so many notes call and response so then you could perhaps take three notes sometimes you get it sometimes you mess it up and that's the fun of the practice you're always in a spot so to speak so that's another thing I would encourage you to do sing with whatever you can on the piano even if now singing will also help if you're not playing melodies on the piano let's say you're playing a chord progression don't just play this just to play these four chords play it so that it can become a song and if you feel you're not really a singer or you haven't sung before or you know you just can't sing trust me you can and there is no excuse the voice is a free instrument we don't have to spend money for it you know thousands of dollars or rupees to go and buy a new instrument chain strings and whatever other repair work our voice is luckily right there you know so we are blessed with the tool of this musical instrument you should use it there's no excuse so if you want if you haven't get some singing lessons going as well that might also be helpful our school would be a nice start so you go with chords try to sing anything or if you're doing a cover try and do that even if you don't know the words just try and mumble away as you play the chords of something which you're eventually going to play with your fellow musician friend who's a singer or maybe you're playing it for a choir or with a band whatever it may be you should be prepared before you enter that rehearsal room so let's say you're doing an existing song whatever it may be so try and sing along even though you're not the actual singer in the troupe someone else who's better than you probably who's the assigned singer will be doing that particular activity you just be able to sing and I encourage you to be part of a singing group in a in an ensemble maybe take take care of singing some harmonies or background vocals or some echoes here and there that will sound also nice and add value to your a CV as a musician right so singing and playing is a very very important thing and I have one last piece of advice for you so let's move forward so while you play the piano or the guitar or any instrument which allows you to breathe unlike the vocals or maybe the trumpet or other such instruments where you're focusing more on you know you have to breathe in order to get the sound out on an instrument like a piano I would always recommend you to play once you're confident with whatever you're playing let's say an arpeggio once you're okay with doing this try to focus on your breathing so if you just breathe in let's see what happens well what happened was I did breathe in but look what happened to the music naturally I didn't even think here's what happened again so the volume get louder so that's generally what tends to happen as you breathe in I guess it just excites the body or gets the muscles to be more proactive or tense and then you get a louder sound just naturally and if you breathe out I'm sure you'll agree that the reverse process will happen in getting louder out getting softer this is one of the reasons why a musician or maybe your teacher or someone you've observed or who you like is playing the same information as you same chords same pattern same melody same accompaniment but yet they sound so much better I think this is the differentiating factor the dynamics the volume changes which naturally happen with a more experienced musician is what is that difference what makes that person a pro and someone else not so much of a pro because all of us pretty much play the same things scales chords inversions seven chords in the major scale blah blah blah we all play the same stuff pretty much some of us play more notes faster stuff more data than the other but we are all dealing with the same data so I think a pro does that very often and it's part of their DNA to play with a lot of dynamics so I think you can work on your dynamics by breathing and breathing also serves another use it makes you relax while you play the piano because you're focusing on something which is not yourself you know you're just focusing on your breathing and not what you're doing not you're playing not this finger or that finger am I playing the pinky instead of the ring or some other random difficult choice you kind of throw away all that and just focus on breathing so that's something which I've told myself a lot even during a show or during a recording you'll always observe me breathing during the process you may see it in some of the riff videos or other things which we shoot it's important for me it's a it's a conscious thing I don't do it just like that I actually do it because I want to control my volume so I do it for a technical need I want to control the z-axis which we talked about earlier right so breathing allows me to control volume singing allows me to control pitch and moving my body allows me to control time which is the x-axis those are the three dimensions I briefed you guys about throughout the lesson and these are the three tools or the three strategies which don't need any app don't need a book don't need any form of formal education it's just something you possess from within you to become hopefully a much better musician than you are today work on it it should be a work in progress it's not going to happen overnight but I think over time it'll become natural and see what works for you for your body and for your workflow and your ecosystem and these are just three ways to control the three axes of music you can ask other musicians they might have other ways but ultimately you need to be in control over these three dimensions whether you're a musician who's a beginner or at whichever level I think these three axes need to be in control so hopefully these pieces of advice will enable you to play music with a lot more conviction and get your audience to enjoy a lot more right guys this is Jason Zach again from Nathaniel School
