There was this school in this school where the teacher was teaching that God doesn't exist and her proof for God's nonexistence was the fact that you can't see God, therefore he doesn't exist and so she simply said, do you guys see a dashboard? Do you guys see the board? You know the chalkboard? Everybody says yes, we can see a chalkboard. Chalkboard exists. Then she pointed to her table, she said, do you guys see the table? Yes, we see the table, therefore the table exists. And then she asked the third question, she said, do you guys see God? Everybody said no. She said, well, we come to the conclusion God does not exist and Johnny sitting there he rose his hand and asked the teacher if he can ask a question of the class and the teacher says, Johnny, go ahead ask the question and the Johnny repeated few questions. She said, do you guys see the teacher's chair? They said, yes, we can see the teacher's chair. The teacher's chairs exist. Then he asked next question She said, do you guys see teacher's brain? They said, no we don't. She says based on that conclusion we all come to the mutual agreement teacher doesn't have any brain She said, why should we listen to someone with our brain?  You can't You know most of you can't see music, but you can hear music your eyes are limited God did not create every information to be available to every sense that he gave you God allows information to be sometimes received by one sense and Completely not received by another and so your ears they depend on your eyes when it comes to seeing and your eyes They depend on your ears when it comes to hearing and your eyes your ears your touch depends on the nose when it comes to smelling So we all know that the reality of the physical world cannot be perceived by one sense Exactly same thing is applied to spiritual world spiritual world is real Spiritual world is as real as you are your thoughts are spiritual in the sense. They cannot be detected by a microscope Your motives cannot be detected by a machine There's no machine in the world. They can detect your consciousness But we all know sitting here where the atheists agnostic or Christians. We all come to the same conclusion We have thoughts we have a mind and we have a conscience And if you're sitting here today and you doubt that you have a mind or you doubt that you have thoughts Or you doubt that you have a consciousness you need to see a psychiatrist Because you have a problem Typical person whether atheists or not atheists will come to the same conclusion that they have a mind They have thoughts and they have consciousness and all of these three things cannot be detected by not one machine in our Tricities that means that these things are invisible. Therefore. They are spiritual Spiritual world is real spiritual world created a natural world spiritual world Influences the natural world spiritual world is older than natural world and spiritual world over Rules and overrides the natural world as Christians We must be get more acquainted as spiritual beings with the spiritual world as Christians we must also Understand it is the will of God to show in our life in the supernatural ways God wants to do things. No man can explain God wants to do things in our life No men can get a credit for but God Today we live in the world We live in a generation that is hungry for supernatural right before the service I scroll through the movies in the local movie theater and three almost every weekend three to four movies in our movie theaters are all about zombies spirits haunted houses Horror or some kind of a supernatural activity? Why are these movies produced? Why is walking dead such a popular TV show? Why is anything that has to do with paranormal activity that was made with few hundred thousand dollars and became a and just a huge Sensation in our generation because our generation has an appetite for supernatural and many times that appetite is not Satisfied within the church and the Hollywood sees that appetite and since they're only interested in making money They feed that appetite with things that actually harm people instead of help them God wants us as Christians us as church is to have a healthy Desire for the supernatural and that supernatural desire for that supernatural is fully satisfied in the scriptures of God because somebody say a man The church is supernatural Jesus's ministry was supernatural one third of his ministry. He cast out demons He addressed the spirits and the darkness and the demons and the curses in people's lives But after a while when the church became popular because of Constantine Emperor Constantine He made Christianity stop persecution stopped and he kind of make Christianity famous And when Christianity became famous, Holy Spirit was no longer necessary to advance the cause of the good news People relied on the Holy Spirit, but he was no longer as needed. I was before and Holy Spirit whenever he is not needed He draws away After a while we know what happened to the church, you know crusades and so many other bad things that happen For which the church still gets the rap from the world or well look at you guys what you've done But that's exactly what happens to a church when the church becomes drift away from the things that are Central in the Bible and the things that are central is God's power God's spirit and God's presence It's like the Chinese Christians that came to United States and upon leaving United States They asked them what is your opinion about the American Christians us and they said we are so amazed and surprised and shocked with how much You guys can do in America without God You know it's sad, but it's sadly true a lot of times if you remove the Holy Spirit from our lives Or even from our church services nothing really would change But if you remove the Holy Spirit from the Bible everything changes If you remove the Holy Spirit from the people who live outside of United States or Western countries everything changes I want to speak to you briefly today on the topic of curses very controversial topic But for us it has nothing to do with Controversy it has to do with helping people who are suffering and who are in need as you heard David's testimony And you hear testimonies in our church a lot of people who get freed from demons people who get freed from curses Most of you you already know our church is known for that kind of things Well, I believe the church of Jesus is supposed to be known for those kind of things And though this topic is debated in many circles and many places for us. It's not a topic to debate It's a topic to encourage people so people can find freedom in the name of Jesus Christ. Can I get a witness in this place? There is few types of curses the first one that's common one and that's the generational curse a Generational curse is when a curse gets passed on from one generation to another As statistics says if your father was an alcoholic you have a ten times Higher likelihood of becoming an alcoholic I remember reading a story this today actually about a correction officer who was working in the prison And he noticed he met this man who was in prison because he molested his own child And after a few months of praying for this man He finally led him to Jesus Christ and this man repented of his sins and he mentioned how his own father molested him And he mentioned how his father was molested and and this correction officer who was a Christian He says I can't believe such a disgusting thing that happened in this family And he says my idea that generational curses are not real. He said it was shattered into pieces by meeting this family Sometimes we bury our head in the sand and we pretend the reality doesn't exist But the Bible says iniquity of the fathers get visited up to four generations There is possible to be in the family where there is a curse and it passes on from one family to another There is a story about two famous families And these families lived about a hundred years ago. One of them is Jonathan Edwards and the other one is Max Jukes and This is a long story about how they got circulated to but I'll just read difference between their families You can see on one the guy who looks like a priest He represents the Edwards and the other guy who represents Jukes. Most of you heard this. I'm gonna repeat it for you 300 out of a thousand two hundred of This guy's descendants so one out of four They were very very poor One out of four died an infancy from lack of good care and lack of good conditions 50% of women know 50 women they lived in a very promiscuous Like prostitution lifestyle 400 men and women were physically wretched early by their own wickedness seven were murderous 60 had had were habitual thieves who spent an average 12 years each in lawlessness 130 were criminals who were convinced more than once of a crime Now compare around the same time this man's family Jonathan Edwards one of them was was a US vice president Three of them were US senators three of them were governors three of them were mayors 13 were college presidents 30 were judges 65 were professors 80 held public office service a hundred were lawyers a hundred were missionaries pastors and theologians Definitely in this family and in this family. There were few people who were doing good but the most of the family Had really bad and the other one most of the family was doing really good Generational curses are real we see that in the Bible like David's family And then we see the souls family where it seems like a crooked tree and the other we see were somewhat established Tree where people follow God's path and God's will and God wants to break Generational curses and release Generational blessings upon our life. Can I get a witness in this place?  It's also for those who send them remember hearing a story of a young man who wanted to Punish a girl because she didn't like him He liked the girl and she didn't like him back So he went to a witch doctor now It's not dominant today where people go to which doctors if they want to get us somebody we do a lot of other nastier things today But in those days people would go to a witch doctor He went to a witch doctor and he said I want to cast a spell on her meaning I want to destroy her life The witch doctor of course asked for some money He gave her some money and then she created a lock and she says I want you to pronounce all the nasty things You want to happen in this girl's life? So he go ahead just open up his mouth and just let it let it out said all day.  I want her to die I want her to have this and that he said that and the witch locked the lock and threw the lock in the river and the key somewhere else and Exactly everything this man pronounced became real in this girl's life until few years later Everything he pronounced on her life started to happen in his He came to church asking God to change his life and the prophecy was spoken to him saying there is a lock and That lock is the cause of all of your problems.  Take a look at this video. You most of you saw this. It's karma.  You want to hit some elderly people? Or this what happens? You want to hit that innocent animal? You want to hit a sign?  I wish they'll drop dead. I wish somebody will do worse to them. I wish they break up I wish they will be sick. Remember you're sending a ball at the wall. It will hit them. It will hit you back You can't throw mud in somebody's face without getting your hands dirty Cast curses work all the time But they many times they backfire on the people sending them not just the people receiving them a third type of curse is a earned curse It's a curse that we draw upon our life by indulging in rebellious ways against God The first time curse was mentioned in the Bible was when Adam Revealed against God.  That's a curse on the family.  I Remember hearing a story of a man who really wanted to get married But either he was not good-looking or didn't have a personality But he just didn't have a luck and he had this particular girl He was so fascinated by but she just wouldn't even give him a time of the day And so he decided to go and use spiritual means to manipulate her And so he went to some lady who used a charm on him and she told him if you take this soap and you bathe yourself And then you go where she is she will like you He paid for soap and there was a charm. It was a spiritual manipulation. It was demonic So he took that soap washed himself in that soap and he went in and the girl Adam Over start to like him He's a man this works When it got more soap until he proposed to that girl kept washing himself in this charm of soap To keep getting this girl and eventually they got married after a few months of marriage the soap stopped working and The girl realized she married The craziest guy on this planet and what she did is she first burned his clothes Then she burned his house And then she wanted to burn him and that's when he brought this crazy girl to church Saying she is crazy as Prayer was being offered for them the pastor of the church who God uses supernaturally He looks at him and he says the problem is not the crazy girl. He says you're the crazy guy He says you went to the devil to get her and you used manipulation manipulation through witchcraft and through spells to get her and now what happened is you got her the Devil's ways and the devil gave you one thing but with another hand he took what your life depends on He says you're the one that needs deliverance not her and After he prayed for her and he prayed for him They received deliverance and God restored their marriage and they still stay together and God gave them a second chance You can't go to the devil for help and expect not to get a curse with it When we step on the Satan's territory, we draw a curse into our life when we walk with God We draw a blessing into our life. Can somebody say amen? The second part of this message I want to speak to you about how to overcome those curses if you have a Bible Let's go together with me to Galatians chapter 3 verse 13 and verse 14 If you do not have a Bible you can look at the screen and I will read Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law Having become cursed for us for it is written Cursed is anyone who hangs on a tree That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus That we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith. I Want you to see the amazing part Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law The law is ten commandments. We know the law is not cursed. The law is good But when you break the law, it brings curse and the Bible says in here that Jesus came to redeem us from the Consequences of breaking the law, which is curse and Jesus Became cursed for us. So not only Jesus took our curse on the cross But he became cursed for us and the Bible explains how cursed is anyone who hangs on a tree today A cross is a symbol of Christianity Then cross was a symbol of a curse Today cross is a beautiful jewelry Then cross was a curse place It was a symbol of a curse and Jesus died on the cross to remove the curse Not just to free me from my sin but to deliver me from the Consequences of my sin and break the power of curse over our life can somebody say amen and not only that But it says in here that the blessing of Abraham Might come on those who are Gentiles in Christ Jesus that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit So we see here How we overcome the curse in our lives Operating in our lives number one is that we have to see ourself as Abraham's children the cross Connects us to Abraham's family The cross Disconnects us from the curses of our family Abraham was a good man and Abraham was a very blessed man You know We thank God for our families, but how many of you secretly don't raise your hand. You would wish to switch your family just for a week a Month a year a decade a live templates Don't raise your hand because your parents are here Your siblings are here, but but we all some of you like I don't care faster. I want it now I Think God secretly knew that our families are good and we love our families We appreciate our families But but we all know that it would have been awesome to be born in a in a different family And God gives us a chance to be in our physical family with our physical family to switch spiritually to a better family To belong to a family and God gives us this family family of Abraham Where Abraham becomes your spiritual father? Well, you begin to accept and anticipate the blessings of Abraham to roll on your life Generational blessings on your life through Jesus Christ to overcome curses. You have to Mentally see yourself as a child of Abraham Abraham had a name First his name was Abraham Abraham means glorious father That's sufficient and enough to have one child few children, but God comes to Abraham and says Abraham I'm gonna bless you. I'm gonna give you so much stuff. I'm gonna give you health I'm gonna give you this and that and Abraham. I'm gonna change your name God. Why do you want to change my name? See? Long after you're gonna be dead. I'm gonna send my Jesus.  Well, Abraham was healthy So healthy that father children at the age of 100 and when his wife passed to glory He kept on having children he remarried and not only Abraham But Sarah because she was under blessing at the age of 90 She was so good-looking without a plastic surgery without makeup without lotions that kings were killing for her All the ladies you're a daughter of Sarah There is no greater blessing no better plastic surgeon than the blessing of Abraham and a blessing of Sarah Blessing of Abraham means you are gonna be strong physically That doesn't means you will never have a flu day or week But that means because of that Spiritually you accept that I am gonna be healthy. That's why we work out That's why we eat healthy. That's why we stay away from bad foods That's why we don't take anything wrong into our body like alcohol and drugs That's why we don't tattoo our bodies. You may say is it wrong? See I got this nice car and the moment I got it It's an Audi and it had stickers on the bottom Audis Audi signed stickers the first thing I did with that car is I ripped those stickers off and washed it off Because I would always put stickers on my Camry when you get an Audi you don't want stickers on it Let the car shine for itself. It has enough beauty and glory in itself a lot of Christians They put stickers on themselves.   Let the glory of God shine through you Watch your body and receive the blessing of Abraham. Your body is gonna be strong Your body is gonna be beautiful and your body is going to be blessed by God somebody say amen Blessing of Abraham is not only you're gonna have a health, but you're gonna have faith Abraham was known to be healthy man, and he had faith and dreams not nightmares. He lived a long life He was married. He was happy.   We don't have to live from poverty and lack That's where you may be in a reality But today the revelation of God says that Abraham is your standard and we spiritually connect to that I remember talking to a wonderful young man who just gotten saved in our ministry He OD'd before and he was pronounced dead one time at the Accident scene, you know this man never had money only bills and court court dates restraining orders not restraining orders all kinds of You know orders to to show up to court and everything and he was telling me today. He's of lad You won't believe it. He says I am completely dead free. He said this week all of my debts are paid He said before I was so scared to receive any letter from the court And he said recently I got another letter from the court and my previous mail I'm a previous place where I lived and when I called that place and I asked them Please open that letter because he said the only letters I got from the court was bills or you have to come to court And so I was expecting another one when they opened the letter and he says you won't believe it lad in that letter was a refund He said who gets refund from court He says God changed my life so much. I get refunds from the same places. I used to go and pay stuff See, that's what happens when God's blessing blessing of Abraham begins to kick into your life. Your life begins to change Yes, it might not happen overnight.  I no longer work at the church I don't receive salary from the church yet every month. I give back to the church $20,000 and that's not in America. It's in the country's outside of America and as of this month He was able to give with his wife 60 cars to people. I was like man, I wish I would be in his church That's blue Abrahamic blessing when God blesses you enough that you're able to give When God blesses you enough that you're able to bless other people and walk out from financial source If you're in financial problems today, remember God says through the cross you can be connected to Abraham You can have Abraham as your daddy can somebody say a man How do I apply that say to yourself constantly? I'm not cursed I'm blessed Look at yourself in a mirror when you have bills and overdue bills and maybe collections Losing your home, or maybe reality is going down Make sure in your mind you don't go down with your reality in your mind You will say well, but what difference does it make it makes a big difference because your reality can always change Make sure your mental attitude stays Anchored on the cross the curse was redeemed from and I am blessed with Abraham The Bible says let the redeem of the Lord say so when you redeem from the curse You gotta say so you can't wait for your bills to change you can't wait for your health to change You can't wait for you to get married and somebody to treat you well before you look at yourself and you tell yourself I am redeemed from the curse of the law not because I feel so not because the bills say so not because the doctors report Say so it's because God says so and God's word is higher than the reality God's word created a reality it can change it Can somebody say a man? Say to yourself every day when you don't feel blessed say to yourself. I am blessed. These are not empty words You're not just positively speaking There is a blood and the cross two thousand years ago that is backing you up You're not just something you thought in your head and you're just trying to keep yourself happy because you read book secret No, it's because you read book called the Bible and the Bible says in the cross You will redeem from the curse of the law and you're blessed with Abraham Tell yourself all the time. I am a blessed man. God is on my side. Can somebody say amen? the second aspect of it is Victory on the cross doesn't end the war it starts it Victory on the cross does not end the war it starts it Which means that when Jesus Christ died on the cross he paid for everything a hundred percent but That victory Doesn't end the war for you. It actually begins a war for you and let me explain When David was facing Goliath and Goliath was big and buff And the Bible says that David came against Goliath and he threw a stone in his head and Goliath fell when Goliath fell The war wasn't over actually War just begun The only difference is by falling of the Goliath in the heart of every Israelite Exploded faith and Aurora arose inside of them before they were hiding But now they are victors because Goliath fell and because Goliath fell a war that broke out was the war where they ran at their Enemy with the victory inside already Before they had defeat in their mind they were running from the enemy But now their champion David defeated the champion of the enemy and they ran at the enemy and they defeated them The difference between you and the world You don't fight for victory.   God is also trying to teach you how to be a fighter Sometimes you get lonely and you get freed from that loneliness and that depression and everything is good until you had that low time and Those emotions they surface again And this is the moment that you have to not throw up your hands in the air and says oh, I'm so helpless I'm just gonna sleep in my bed all night and all day and just watch Netflix and cry myself to sleep You got to rise up and be a warrior and fight Not for victory, but from victory already purchased on the cross of Jesus Christ Amen The Bible says in Christ we are more than conquerors More than conquerors. How can you be a more than a conqueror?  It's depression begins to crawl back in for others It's the craving to smoke again for some It's the craving to look at pornography or to inhale in that drugs people begin to invite you to the same concerts and nightclubs That you used to go to and that thing begins to come back those feelings those thoughts begin to come back And this is the time where the devil tells you you're not really free Especially when the person stumbles or falls and the devil begins to come and flood you with the thoughts of guilt and shame It says listen, you're never gonna change This whole thing that people are getting changed. That's for special people and you're not those special people This is the moment you have to rise up and not tell yourself But tell that wicked devil so listen devil you got a wrong person You cannot speak like this to me and you gotta tell that devil listen Satan get behind me I may feel down, but I am seated in the heavenly places with Christ.   He didn't say cry about it He didn't say call all your friends and posted on Facebook and take a picture of it He didn't say whine about it.  You're a warrior There's a movie that always helps me There's a one clip of that movie and I'm gonna show it to you It's it's it's very cheesy movie to some of you and it's written by c.s. Lewis. It's a clip from Narnia But you will get the spiritual point. I want you to see the right now Your emotions are like a beautiful pet on a good day. They're so friendly. Your emotions are so cute They're so nice They make you so happy your thoughts They send you good vibes But the moment satan comes in your emotions turn into wolves They raid at you.   He didn't get hurt. This is when the first time you overcome your own battle After him you lead you to edmund peter Clean your sword rise Sir peter wolf spain Knight of narnia forgive me, but when I hear about defeating the devil, that's the only thing that I think about I sometimes feel exactly like that guy The pet that was okay and then turns into a lion or turns into a wolf that begins to attack me And you begin to feel like there's few more moments and you're alone and god is there. It seems like he's not helping Why is he not helping because jesus didn't only come to free you He also came to empower you And you will never know what you have Until you have to use what you have Until you have to stand on god's word until you have to fight those bad feelings that satan sends until you the circumstances come And you feel alone. Maybe you feel like just like that I know this is a a movie and it's a fabrication of a man's imagination See us louis, but it points a beautiful picture that jesus doesn't just want you to go 25 times to a prayer line Go to prayer line. That is great.    I am blessed. You have to change your confession No longer just describe your problem attack your problem with your words Attack that feelings begin to say for them to take the rightful place in jesus mighty name


No, I'm playing and I'm like, nope, not for me. Yeah, right now I'm doing a busy car and doing commissions.  I leave those games to the younger kids. I play the tournament. Since 1991, it'll be going on 23 years. In barely a few of 19 years, Golden started out as a good girl art book. But I got bored with just pictures and just cute faces and, you know, in risque positions.  They, you know, that solved their own problems, that got into adventures, got into trouble, got out of trouble. And I didn't want them to be rescued by some Tuxedo mask. I wanted them to take care of the villains themselves. So I began looking for ideas for the theme. Gina, the themes came to me when I saw this three musketeers at the back of our old Captain America. These Indiana Jones sites going into this Incan temple to discover a giant three musketeers bar. And I thought, hey, Indiana Jones. And slowly, it began as Indiana Jones, but then fantasy elements came into it. I said, OK, Indiana Jones, Final Fantasy. Different elements that I'd like to start occupying, too. OK, Indiana Jones, Final Fantasy, Star Wars. And this became everything I wanted to put into. And thanks to the theme and the story, everything fit. The main person on Gold Digger is the character's insatiable appetite for seeking the long lost, the undiscovered, and the mysterious mysteries of the past that have been buried by time and space and circumstances and volcanoes and lost civilizations and uncovering the mythical true history of this fantastic universe. Her curiosity comes at the cost, but it's still a fun ride. Yes, I do. I'm finishing up my Star Wars, my Steam Wars project. It's sort of like a Star Wars-inspired steampunk adventure. One of my side projects is programming. I'm really liking the Unity 3D software development package and my background in C-Sharp and Java is really coming to play here. And I'm making my first video game in sort of a turn-based tactical video game in the vein of Discaia. I'm going to call it. But it's like Discaia and Final Fantasy tactics, but with spanking. Your one power is to be able to spank the evil out of villains as close to the line as I can get. OK, you're welcome. Well, see you.


Hello, I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the crime club. I'm the librarian. Murder on margin. Yes, we have that crime club story for you. Come right over. You're here. Good. Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable? The book is on the shelf. It is Murder on Margin by Robert George Dean. The very intriguing story of the stocks of passion and the bonds of death. Let's look at it under the reading lamp. It is late evening in a room of a shabby hotel in Midtown Manhattan. A trim, slick-haired man is eyeing the blonde girl sitting near him on the sofa. He watches her carefully as she pours herself a drink.  That's the fourth one you have. So what? Nothing. Only when you start guzzling like that it's a sense something's eating. I told you I was tired. Okay, baby, okay. Come here. Oh, please, Nick, don't. Yeah, you are tired, ain't you? Well, what do you expect? You know better than anyone else what a day I put in. You've had tougher days. Maybe I have.  Well, I can't blame you for that.  Joan. What? Maybe you'll be able to quit your job soon. How? You know Larry Carson, don't you? Who? Larry Carson, the stockbroker. You know the guy in the brokerage house, a couple of doors to my shop? Oh, yeah, I think I've done his nails. Oh, sure, you have lots of times. Well, he's a smart trader, knows the market inside out. Well, he's been giving some tips to Tony who cuts his hair. And Tony's made himself quite a bundle. So what? So I've been talking to Tony. He's going to pass them tips on to me. Oh. I'm going to start right away. Just as soon as Carson gets back. Gets back? Yeah. He told Tony today he was leaving town on a business trip. But he won't be gone long. What's the matter? Oh, well, nothing. I think it's a swell idea, Nick. You bet it is. Pretty soon I'll have some real dough and then I'll come here, baby. Don't, Nick. Just a little kiss, honey. Don't.  I said, come here.  Let's go. Hey, you've got a bracelet on under your sleeve. You're crazy. Am I? Come on, let me see it. No. Let me see it. Just a minute, sweetheart. OK. Give me back that bracelet.  Diamonds, huh?  Who's the guy? I asked you, who's the guy? Larry Carson gave it to me. Carson? It doesn't mean anything, Nick. I swear I haven't planned him for a sucker, that's all. By an emperor sucker? Yeah, just getting all I could out of him for the two of us. No, they don't. For the two of us, huh? Come on.  Get up, I said. Don't. Don't. Are you all right?  Get out. OK. Come on. So long, sir. Ear through? It's rather late. I'm quite aware of that. I was thinking that you wanted to turn in early. Still the dutiful wife, eh? Well, I have some market reports I want to study. Oh. Answer that, will you? Hello? Oh, yes. Just a minute. For you, Larry. For me? Yes. Hello? Hello, Larry. This is Joan Randall. I thought I told you never to call this number. I know what you told me, but I had to talk to you. I tried the other place and couldn't get you. I see. All right, what do you want? I... I heard you were taking a little trip tomorrow. Yes? I thought we had a date. Sorry, I meant to call you about that before I left. Oh, you meant to? Yes, it came up suddenly. It's just routine business trip. I'll be back in a few days. I don't like it. Oh, don't be silly. I'm not. I had the feeling for some time now that you wanted to brush me off. What?  Don't do it. I shall do whatever I feel. Yeah? Well, get this through your head, Mr. Carson. You'll pay off or else. Hello? Did you hear me? I said don't... It's going to be right either. It's convenient to have a wife, isn't it, Larry? It must sound convincing when you tell them I won't give you a divorce. Yes, I guess it does. Larry, when are you going to set me free? So? You've been saying that for months now. Carl and I want to be married and I want a clean start. That's why I haven't begun any action myself. Yes? We don't want to wait any longer. I want a divorce now. Very moving appeal, my dear. But I confess I don't understand it. You and Carl Hamill are hysterically a lightweight. Is he? Then why did you ask me to be a partner in your firm? It was quite simple, Ruth. I needed some money. Now I'm sorry I took him in. Oh, it's Carl. I don't doubt it. Larry. Hmm? I heard you mentioned something about a... a business, sir. Well? If you were to stay away a long time, it would delay my divorce. Hmm. That's quite an idea. Yes. I've got another idea too, Larry. Oh? What is it? I'm afraid I'd better keep this one to myself. Oh, Mr. Hamill. Oh, good morning, sir. Can I help you up there? Well, yes. At least I hope so. I'd like to see Mr. Carson. Well, Mr. Carson is a very busy man. I know, Mr. Hamill. I've been waiting here outside his office since quarter to ten, and now it's twenty after. I see. Well, I was just going in to see Mr. Carson myself. I'll tell him that you're here. Oh, thank you. Oh, by the way, what's your name? Pat Barton. Pat Barton? The private detective? Oh, yes. I want to consult him about some stocks. Oh. I'll be right back. Okay. Well, I beg your pardon, sir. Do you mind if I go answer the ticker? No. Thanks. Let's see. Commercial solutions, thirty-one and a half. See, it looks like a pretty good stock, doesn't it? Uh-huh. Yes, sir. Might go up to thirty-two. Uh-huh. Yes, Larry, I will. Oh, was that last order at twenty-nine and a quarter? Right. Oh, Mr. Barton. Yes, Mr. Hamill? I told Mr. Carson you were waiting. He'll see you in fifteen minutes. Oh, thank you. Meanwhile, I'll just keep my eye on the ticker. Fine. See you later. Right. Uh, let's see. Salt preferred twenty and a quarter. Oh, Larry. I think we can go in now. Okay, Mr. Hamill. Oh, Larry, this is... Well, that's funny. He isn't here. You're wrong, Mr. Hamill. Look, on the floor near the desk. Good Lord! Someone put a rope around his neck and pulled it tight. Very tight. I swear I don't know how you'd do it, Pat, but every time there's a murder, you're right in the middle of it. I'm sorry, Lieutenant Riley. It just happens. I don't arrange them. No. Well, the way you solve them sometimes makes me wonder. Okay, forget it. Let's take another look at the late Mr. Carson. Okay. Uh, let's see. After he was strangled, he must have slipped to the floor. Mm-hmm. But that would hardly occur for his must-have appearance, though. What do you mean? Well, his shirt is half out and his belt is twisted. Do you think that maybe he was just a sloppy dresser? No, Lieutenant. You can see his suit was obviously just pressed. And look at the shine on his shoes. Uh-huh. I think the killer must have searched him. For what? His wallet was still on him and nothing was missing from it. Yes, but there wasn't much money in it. Did the medical examiner give you the time of death? Yeah, probably between 10.15 and 10.30. Mm-hmm. I suppose that tells you who the murderer is, sir. Not quite, Lieutenant, but it helps. Yeah, a lot. What gets me is how the killer got in and out. Now, there's Carson's private entrance leading to the hallway into the street, and that's locked. Uh-huh. And now, this door here to the main office through which you entered. Now, you say that you were sitting right next to it from a quarter to ten on? Yes, and the only one who entered was Carl Hamill. I think I'll have a little talk with that guy. Mr. Hamill? Yes, Lieutenant. Would you mind stepping in here? Mr. Hamill, according to Mr. Barton here, you were the only one to enter this office. Yes. And that was about 20 after 10, a time when Carson might have been killed. What do you mean, you? That he was alive when I left the office? Do we? Well, of course, Mr. Barton. But you were sitting right at the door when I came out. You heard me turn around and... And ask him about that last quotation. Yes, I heard you, but I didn't hear him. Huh? Oh, that's right. I remember now. He didn't answer me. He just nodded. Oh, I see. Mr. Hamill, excluding Mr. Carson, who had a key to the private entrance of this office? Well, I... I believe Mrs. Carson had one before. Oh, she did, eh? Yes, but, Shirley, you don't think that she had anything to do with this. That's why she couldn't... Take it easy, Mr. Hamill. Pat, yes, Lieutenant? One of my men reported that in the hallway, leading from Carson's private entrance to the street, is a door of a private club. Oh, yeah. Now, there's a doorman posted at that door from 9 o'clock on. He'll be able to tell us just who entered this office by way of that private entrance. Good. Well, I get... What's that? What is that? It's a plot closet, Lieutenant. Well, there she is, behind the filing cabinet. Good. Hey, bring me a hand. I can't seem to get out of here by myself. All right, all right. We'll just get this cabinet out of the way. There, there we are. Okay, come on out. Yeah, sure. Why, Miss Randall? You know this girl, Mr. Hamill? Well, yeah, she's the manicurist at a barbershop. A few doors down the street. Oh, okay, Miss Randall. Talk. Huh? She seems to be pretty drunk, Lieutenant. What were you doing in that closet, sister? Who was to know? I'm Lieutenant Riley of the police. Police? Yes. Take a look at the floor near the desk. Oh, Larry's dead, huh? Uh-huh. You ought to know. Me, I didn't do it. No? How'd you get in here? I had a key. Larry gave it to me. Oh. Palouse was gonna run out on me. I wanted to have a little talk with him. Uh-huh. I got here early, before 9. Didn't want anybody to spot me coming in. I hid behind the cabinet in the closet.  Well, I knew it would be a long wait, so I took a flask along. I was nervous. Before I knew it, the flask was empty. Then I passed out. Uh-huh. Miss Randall, there's a keyhole in that closet door. Did you see or hear anything that might help us? No, not a thing. I see, I see, I see. Okay, sister.  But don't get any idea that you're out of this mess. I'm gonna check on you all the way. Pat? Yes, Lieutenant? Get your hat. We'd start check with the barber shop where she works. Were you Carson's barber, Nick? No, Lieutenant. Tony took it. Oh, well, where, where is this Tony? Well, it's been raining all morning. We were slow and Tony and the others ducked out. They're probably chewing the fat in a cafeteria down the street. Uh-huh. You got a man of curious name, Joan Randall. Yeah, she didn't show up this morning. I don't think she'll be in today, Nick. Well, what do you mean, Mr. Button? Why are you so nervous? Well, Joan and me, we've been kind of going around together, and if anything's happened to her... Well, nothing's happened to her yet. But she's in quite a spot. You see, we found her in Mr. Carson's closet. Yeah, she was pickled, Nick. Now, was that a habit of hers? Well, when she's worried, she likes a couple of shots. Uh-huh. Nick, it seems that Joan and Mr. Carson were quite friendly. Did you know that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It didn't mean anything. He had a lot of dough and... Well, you know how it is. Yes, we know. You don't think she killed Carson, do you? We're not sure, Nick. But if you ask me, you're going to need a new manicurist. For me, Lieutenant, it is unbelievable. I simply refuse to believe it. I know, Sergeant. I know that Carson's dead. You've got to help us. We help you. How? What time were you at your post this morning? What time? Why not, Claude? In all my 23 years as doorman to this club, I arrive at nine sharp. Not before, not later. Uh-huh. And from your post, you can see anyone who enters the hallway to go to Mr. Carson's office. Absolutely. Sasha, do you know Joan Randall, the manicurist from the barbershop around the corner? You mean the Blanc Barrage? Sure I know her. Did you see her enter the hallway this morning? No. Are you sure? Absolutely. Hmm. We must have got here before that. Like you said. Did you see anyone else, Sasha? Yes. Just one person. Who was it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Just one person. Who was it? It was Mrs. Carson. Mrs. Carson, eh? What time was that? About, uh, quarter after, uh, no. Twenty after ten. And she went down the hallway to Mr. Carson's office? Yes. Did you see her go in? No. The hallway turns to the left. You can't see the door. He's right, Lieutenant. Okay, okay. Now I want you to be very careful about this next one, Sasha. When did she come out? I don't know. Huh?  Yeah? I was outside for a couple of minutes. In other words, she could have slipped out during that time. All right. Oh, Sasha, would it have been possible for anyone else to have entered while you were outside? Uh, this could not happen. When I went out, I looked up and down the street. There was nobody near enough to sleep in. Oh, I see. Well, Lieutenant, what's next on the menu? The blue plate special. Mrs. Carson. Mrs. Carson, Mrs. Carson, do you have any idea who might have murdered your husband? No, Lieutenant. I have. Yes? You, Mrs. Carson. Me? Yes. Why, that's absurd. Utterly absurd. For your information, you were seen going down the hallway to your husband's office. What? Oh, come, Mrs. Carson, the identification was positive. You were there, weren't you? Yes, Mr. Barton, but I didn't see Larry. Huh? Oh, what do you mean? Well, I, I went up to the door of the office, and then I stopped. Why? The transom was open. I, I heard Carl, uh, Mr. Hammel talking to Larry. I lost my nerve, and, like... What do you mean you lost your nerve? Well, I, yes, I'd better tell you the horse talk. Yes, I guess you'd better. I'd wanted a divorce from Larry for some time. Without going into it, I can assure you I had very good reasons. Yes, we met one of them. Never mind, Mrs. Carson. Go on, please. Well, I, I met Carl Hammel, my husband's partner. We fell in love. I told Larry about it and asked him for a divorce so that Carl and I could be married. Mm-hmm. Larry kept putting me off. Then last night I learned that he was taking a, a trip out of town. He said he'd be gone for only a short time. Yes. I had the feeling that he was up to some... You see, he was very spiteful. I felt that he was going to stay away to delay my divorce. I made up my mind that he wasn't going to get away with it. Mm-hmm. This morning I set out for his office for a showdown. I, I took a gun along. A gun, Larry? Yes, but when I stood outside Larry's door and, and heard Carl's voice, I, I realized how foolish I'd been. I knew that I, I could never kill Larry. Uh-huh. I, I turned around and went home. Mrs. Carson, did you hear what Mr. Hammel and your husband were talking about? Uh, uh, yes, they, uh, they were discussing some stark quotations. Did Hammel mention the quotation on murder? What do you mean? You don't think that Carl, oh no, he didn't kill Larry. Of course not. He didn't. You didn't. Nobody did. Only the guy is dead and the commissioner wants to know why. Hello? Hello, Ruth. Oh, Carl. I was hoping that you were... You, uh, you heard about Larry? Yes. The police have just left. Oh. Carl, I'm afraid we're in trouble. What, what's the matter? I did something terribly foolish. I went to Larry's office this morning. What? But why did you... Wait, I, I didn't see him. When I got to the door, I heard you talking to him. Oh. I, I heard you quarreling. Did you? Did you tell the police about it? No. No, I told them you were discussing stark quotations. Carl, is, is there anything you wanted to tell me?  No. But darling, you sound as if... I love you, Carl. No matter what happened, remember that. I love you. Lieutenant, I made as fast as I could. What's up? I've got some more pieces for our puzzle. You have? Yes. Do you remember when we examined the corpse? You thought the killer had searched him? Yes. Yeah, you were right. And whoever it was made off with a hundred grand. What? I had a man go over the books at Carson. There was a hundred thousand missing from the credit balance. Now it looks like Carson was going to take it on the land, you see? And he figured on traveling light to throw everyone off guard. Yes. Probably just an overnight bag and the money. From the appearance of his disarranged clothing, I'd say he had the cash in a money belt. Uh-huh. Did you speak to Hamill about this? Yes. Yes, and he was quite upset. Not only over the loss of the dough, he said. He was worried about the effect on the farm's business. Is there any way to trace that money? No, and I haven't got the ghost of an idea. Who can it... Wait a minute. Joan Randall. I've had the feeling that Dame was holding something back. You think she took it? Either that or she knows who did. Come on, Pat. Let's get to her before she puts away another quart. Maybe she's out, Lieutenant. Yeah, Pat, but not the way you mean. She's probably hit that bottle again. Oh, there's no use. The door's locked. I have a key, Lieutenant. Huh? A key that opens a lot of doors. Oh, well, go ahead. Make believe I'm not looking. Okay. Let's see. The light switch ought to be dead. I don't smell any liquor, so maybe... Holy smoke. She really is out. Look, for good. Yes. Whoever stabbed her wasn't kidding. She must have been lying on the bed at... That odd? What is? Well, apparently after she was stabbed, she still had enough strength reached down and clutched one of her shoes from under the bed. Yeah, and she probably rolled over and held on to whatever came into her hand. No, Lieutenant. Shoes are usually placed together on the floor. And from the position of the one still there, it would have had the strain to get the shoe she's holding. Uh, yeah. Well, why do you think she grabbed a pat? I think it was an attempt to tell us who murdered her. Oh. Well, it's a woman's shoe. And the only other woman in the case is Mrs. Carson. Hmm. Or maybe... Yeah. Yeah. While I was talking to him about that money, he told me he used to be a shoe manufacturer. What? Yeah. Well, I guess that doesn't... I'm not sure. Huh? There's something that keeps buzzing at the back of my mind. Something that... Of course, Larry Carson shoes. Larry Carson shoes? Yes. Now, there's just one thing we ought to check, Lieutenant. And then I think you'll be able to wrap this case up. Better keep back out of sight, Lieutenant. Okay, Pat. I just wanted to make sure that Sasha is still sitting on that part bench. Oh, don't worry. I've got my eye on him every second. Are you certain your plan will work? Well, I don't see how it can miss. A half hour ago, Sasha telephoned the killer. His message will force the murderer to meet Sasha here in the park. I see. Then you expect another life and job, huh? All right. We'll have to be on our toes to prevent it. Wait, Lieutenant. I think we're getting a bite. I was beginning to think you weren't coming. I thought maybe... Help! Get him, Lieutenant! Get him! Stop or I'll shoot! Good shot, Lieutenant! Are you all right, Sasha? Yes, Mr. Barr. Good. Is he alive, Lieutenant? Yeah, the bullet just creased his scalp. Okay, Nick. Come on. Come on. Up on your feet. As a barber, you usually stand behind a chair. Well, now we're going to let you sit in one. Did Nick reveal where he hid the money, Lieutenant? Yes, it was under the floor in his room. Oh, good. It's nice of you to give me a lift home, Lieutenant. Ah, that's all right, Pat. You deserve it. Sasha, too. Ah, it was nothing. Nothing at all. Oh, you don't ever ask me to do it again. Don't worry. We won't. Say, Pat, how did you tumble to Nick anyway? Well, there was the fact of the shoes. Carson's and Joan's. Uh-huh. Carson's shoes were shined. And that was peculiar. Why? Well, since it rained all morning, his shoes should have been spotted. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. But I failed to see the importance of that fact until Joan was killed. She died in the act of reaching for her shoe. Uh-huh. And then it hit me. Someone had shined Carson's shoes. Obviously, he wouldn't have done it himself. So the only other possibility was a shoe shined man. Yeah, but where in the world? Well, since there was no shoe shined man involved in this case, I turned to the only person who could have impersonated one. Nick the barber. Exactly. He was alone in his shop. Not only the barbers were gone, but also the shoe shined man. I see. So Nick dressed up in the dark apron, carried the box and got by. Huh? Yeah. Wait a minute, wait a minute. How did he get into the Carson's office without Sasha seeing him? But you know, Lieutenant, there are some men who are invisible. Invisible? Yes. That is, they're taken for granted. Nobody observes them. Like a mailman, for instance. Oh. Well, a shoe shined man visiting the offices in a business building is exactly the same. You pay no attention to him, so he loses his identity. I see. Of course, when I brought the point up with Sasha, he remembered. Oh, what is it? I don't know what it is. What did you say, Sasha? Never again.  And so closes tonight's crime club book, Murder on Margin, based on a story by Robert George Dean. James Irthine did the radio adaptation. Roger Bauer produced and Jack McGregor directed. Jack McBride played Lieutenant Riley. Julie Stevens was Joan. Ellen Shields was Ruth Carson. Danny Ockle played Sasha. Harry Thompson was Pat. Joe DeSantis was Nick. And Sherling Oliver was heard as Carl Hamill. Oh, I beg your pardon. Hello. I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the crime club. I'm the librarian. Yes. Come over a week from tonight. Good. We have the very exciting story of a package that was wrapped up by death. It's called Murder Makes Some Mummy. In the meantime? Well, in the meantime, there is a new crime club book available this week. And every week at bookstores everywhere. Yes, it's available now. Fine. And we'll look for you next week. This program came from New York. This is the world's largest network, the Mutual Broadcasting System.

On Monday, August 15th, the Pikeville Police and Fire Departments, along with the community outreach program, hosted a golf scramble for charity. The money raised will be going towards Christmas gifts for needy children, especially those affected by the recent flooding. This is the first time I think we've had the golf scramble itself. This is the raised money for outreach program for school supplies for children, Christmas gifts for children, and it's a joint effort between us and the Pikeville Fire Department to get this going on up here. We have 17 teams show up, which is on a Monday, and it overcast and rainy like it is, is great. All these guys come in here and donate the money and put up money for it. It's a good deal. It's a thing. It's going to be a yearly event now. I think this is the first actual first golf scramble we've had though. Turnouts are great. We have 20 teams sign up for it, and we have 17 teams show up. Like I said on a Monday morning, and it overcast and rainy everywhere but here, and we were blessed with good weather. It's not rained on as yet, and the turnout's been great. Everybody's morale's great. Everybody's pumped up. They want to win it. You know, there's still competition here, and so they want to win it, and we hope the best team prevails and gets their prize. Our detective Bruce Collins, he's an avid golfer, also a patrolman, Josh Lawson. He is an avid golfer. He's on one of the teams today for the city. They come up with the ideal, passed along to the Chief. The Chief thought it was a great idea to raise money, and it gets everybody outside. It gets everybody outdoors enjoying their self, physical fitness too, and camaraderie. Everybody's having a good time today. And so those guys come up with the ideal, and the Chief was more than willing, and the city backed us up and said, hey, let's do this. And Stonecrest provided us with this absolute beautiful location to do this in. It's amazing up here. While both the police and firefighters are glad the funds are going towards a good cause, the participants at Stonecrest are also happy to get out, share a round of golf with each other, and help their community. Well, first of all, it's a great day to be out here. The Pytwall Police Department hosting this event today to raise money for children for Christmas and recognizing the wounded warriors. So it's great to be out here in the day. It's perfect weather, cool, not too hot, and a good turnout for a great event, a great cause. I'm glad to see that people have come together again, and there's a lot of damage, and it's just terrible what's happened around eastern Kentucky with the flooding. But you know, people will, they'll bounce back, and they're very resilient, and they'll bounce back. For Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.


Hello, and welcome to this video, that is part of a playlist on how to use the Datalon Function Pack with the STWIN board. Specifically, I'll be covering how to download the Fillmore binary to the STWIN using the STM32Q programmer software. And this of course applies to any binary, not only the one I'm using here. This Function Pack implements high-speed data logging application and provides a comprehensive solution to save data from several combinations of sensors and microphones configured up to their maximum sampling rate. The Datalog is compatible with both versions of the STWIN kit. STEVAL, STWIN KT1 and KT1B. They are by the way very similar to each other. In fact, they share the same schematic and layout. The only few changes are in the bill of materials. STEVAL, STWIN KT1B, which is the only one available from now on, includes STEV A110, BlueEnergy M2, Blue2toEnergy module, and the new IMP23 ABS UMAMS microphone, with a frequency response up to 80 kHz, suitable for ultrasound analysis. The Datalog Function Pack is already the preloaded Fillmore on the STWIN version B. However, it's always good to upgrade it to the latest version available on the website. From the STWIN webpage that you can reach using the short URL st.com/.stwin, you can go to the Tools and Software section, where you will find the link to the supported software packages. Choose fpsns.log1 and click on Get Software. Accept the license, login with your account, and the software will be downloaded. Unzip it to a directory of your choice. You may want to choose a short path as a root folder, otherwise there could be issues with some developer tools that don't support long paths. In the zip file you can find the complete source code of the project that we don't need now, because it's easier to use directly the pre-compiled binary. There are different ways and different tools to download a firmware binary to the STWIN and to an STM32 in general. We're going to explore a couple of methods, both using the STM32Q programmer software. You can download the software from the STWIN website. Now I'm going to assume that it's already installed on the PC. For this first method you only need the STWIN board and one micro USB cable. Open the software and select USB. Now connect the cable to the board and the PC. While keeping the user button pressed, press the reset button once. The STM32 will execute in bootloader mode. At this point we can click the refresh button to detect the device and connect. Click on open file to load the binary and download. After a few seconds the procedure is completed. Disconnect and manually reset the board to let the new firmware start. The second method involves the usage of the ST-Linked bugger that is included in the STWIN kit. The ST-Link V3 has been added to the STWIN package because other than flashing a binary it also enables debugging and other advanced features. For the moment we are just using it to download the binary. We still need the USB cable for the STWIN just for the power supply and we need another one to connect the ST-Link to the PC. As an alternative it is also possible to connect the ST-WIN to the battery. Switch back to the ST-Link mode and hit refresh. The ST-Link parameters should already be ok but in case they are not you can check the ones I am using here and connect. The procedure is now the same. You load the binary and download it to the board. Just be aware that this firmware upgrade button is not to upgrade the firmware of the target mega controller but to upgrade the firmware of the ST-Linked bugger itself. Which by the way is a good practice from time to time.


Good evening, my name is Gopal and I will be talking about compressing deep learning models so that you can build mobile apps or IoT applications if you have a very low memory system. So, can I assume that at least some of you have a deep learning background or most of you have deep learning background. So then let me I had a little bit introduce about deep learning. So, deep learning is a kind of a trending or buzz word these days right. So, it is just nothing but what I say a series of computations like filtering you know image processing image filter and all. So, it is a series of those kind of computations and end of the day end of the network you have either classification or detection of faces or objects any general objects. So, that is basically deep learning that is required for this talk that is it you can consider as a series of computations for image processing or computer vision application like detecting person detecting car self-driving all stuff. And typically the process is you collect the data say you want to detect a car you collect millions of images of car and then you have to train a network deep learning network on that and at the end of the training so you will have a trained model. So, the filters are trained to detect the car and that model size that we after training I call it as a model which is a parameter series bunch of numbers and that ranges from the few 100 megabytes to like a gigabyte. So, depending upon your complexity of the deep learning network. So, if you have to build such application on a very low power low end device so you cannot afford to have few megabytes few 100 megabytes of model stored on your SD card you will be simply wasting space on the SD card for example right. So, this talk about is about how to reduce this deep learning model size to fit into SD card. So, or a mobile application so you do not have to have application with 250 megabytes downloading. So, nobody is going to download that right so yeah hopefully this will help you to build such applications computer vision applications on low end devices. So, outline is I will just this is very superficial in this particular topic it is actually a active research area I will talk about IOT's and challenges and popular network how to reduce this deep learning model into a smaller size and how to use low precision and I have case study of detecting objects like faces or human body then I will show you the demo. So, demo is on this PC I do not know how to how to this yes so as I introduce deep networks which require high memory right high SD card storage that is storage and also when you load that into your RAM. So, that requires that same amount of RAM space so and also very computationally intensive. So, it requires lot of CPU cycles so you need a very GPU's normally to compute this kind of output of this kind of networks and large models as I said few 100 megabytes so you have to have that much nor flash or not flash on the board. And so fortunately so you can do some kind of tricks to this deep network to reduce the size and still it will be as accurate as the normal floating point when you are using the floating point computations. And we all know that this is challenge when it comes to IOT's or mobile SOC platforms so I will just go through how to reduce the model size. Just to give a brief overview on state of that research in this field actually reducing this model size falls into three categories one is at the algorithm level you reduce the network size you do not see if my particular deep learning network has hundreds of layers you reduce the number of layers number of stacks layers and that is at the algorithm level and then you train your network on your data and then you have your deep learning model ready. And the second thing is network compression which say you have model which is already trained you can take out certain connections inside the network so that you can drop out all those computations all those parameters of the model. So, this is after training so this is called compression and the third one is quantization so you have model you have all parameters in 32 bit numbers and you can quantize this to lower number of bits so it is low precision networks and even one bits which is called binary networks you can have all the parameters with just one bit either 0 or 1. So in this talk I will just focus on this particular part and actually it is subset of this particular topic how to reduce how to represent model from 32 bit to 16 bit yeah I will I just have divided this into three levels so this is your PC where you have GPUs to train the deep learning model and you have a data millions of images stored here and you do the training and after training you convert this model which is a parameter into a very low precision 16 bit or 8 bit and you create a build application out of it so that goes into your mobile storage SD card. So, when you are going to run the application you are going to load that as it is on the on the system memory but before loading that you will cannot back to floating point so that means so model size is low there because it is a low precision model on the SD card so when you load it to RAM it is going to occupy the same amount of memory because before this stage so that is that is 32 bit and then you do normal floating point computations so there is there will not be any reduction in the accuracy. So, the advantage is you just save the SD card space so you have 30 bit numbers here say the model size is 100 megabytes you convert it to 16 bit your model size will be 50 megabytes so you store you save that much amount of storage on your end device and the level 2 is so you do the same thing and instead of loading converting into floating point and loading into memory you just load as it is low precision model and when you are computing computing on when you are processing image to detect some objects in that image you on the fly you convert into float so that will add on to your application run time because you have to convert again and again each image you process you have to convert again but still you are going to say both SD card space and the RAM space the level 3 is we have low precision model in the SD card low precision model in the RAM and the computations are also low precision. So, you do not need a floating point hardware floating point CPU to run the application so you can use low precision 16 bit or 8 bit or even lesser arithmetic operations using your fixed point CPU. Normally most of the DSPs are fixed point you cannot. So, that is the level 3 so we have and when you use low precision arithmetic your application also going to speed up normally so that is another advantage all this can happen without losing final detection accuracy of the algorithm. So, I will show you a demo but currently I started this project 2 weeks back so the development process is only here only till level 1 so my plan is to take this to lower more levels so that we have we will save memory and save CPU time as well as a case 3 this is object detection deep learning network which is called YOLO and very lightweight version of the same thing is called tiny YOLO. So, after training it takes 64 megabytes is the model size all the parameters and it has 7 billion operations floating point operations this one I can just ignore if you are not very familiar with object detection but the key thing is this is the original model accuracy algorithm accuracy using the original floating point model that is the 16 bit models I do not think you can notice a difference so almost as accurate as the floating point model so that is the key point here. So, then I wanted to show PC demo but unfortunately I can I can I can still hopefully show yeah okay I do not know if you can see or not but this is a 64 bit model you can see 63.5 megabytes and this is a 16 bit model which is 31.7 megabytes so I have application running let me check okay let me just configure how much I do okay 4 minutes more than half or you can speak a little more. Just let me switch to original floating point model and compile it okay all right. This is a model trained on to train to detect 20 objects like a person a person chair or bird or horses all this stuff and then so this is the original model running here now I will just compile for sorry I do not have a very good UI because just for quick demo. So, this one is using a 16 bit model hopefully it will detect all of you all right. So, actually if the application is not very critical so you can use this kind of tricks to reduce the model size so if it if the application does not detect you sometimes there is nothing nothing is going to happen right nothing is going to crash or something like this. So, as long as application is like a normal entertainment case or it is not like a I do not think model is trained for that kind of objects but maybe bottles and all it can detect and dogs and horses all this yeah that is it any questions this is running on my laptop GPU get force 920 m yes this is for inference final testing yeah currently because. Yes yes this one is using graphics card and running around 8 frames per second so very I told you 7 billion operations so if you just run using CPU it may run at 1 frames per second hit me when you install NVIDIA drivers NVIDIA drivers sometime. Oh ok thank you maybe VGA will be better ok. Because I have not used this laptop to project anytime so this is my personal laptop so yeah any other questions please yeah I have this ongoing project if any of you are interested you can just go to this Github and you can contribute if you are interested because I plan to extend this for level 2 and level 3.


Welcome to the Metal Voice once again. Richie Faulkner, guitarist, elegant weapons and of course Judas Priest. How you doing my friend? Brother we meet again which is an exciting thing because we're always talking about cool stuff so I'm doing very well. How you doing? Good to see you again. Good to see you as well. Great exciting news Invincible Shield is the upcoming 19th studio album by Judas Priest that will be released on March 8th via Epic Records. It was produced by the band's touring guitarist Andy Sneak who also produced 2018's Firepower. Also an upcoming U.S. tour starting April 18th as well. All right. Describe to me in one sentence, this is for the headline here, the new album. Just describe to me in one solid headline for this new album. I can't do that. You can do it. You can do it. That's insane. It's Judas Priest in 2024 is what it is. All right. All right. How about this comment on my review right here and I'll let you go with this. Okay. This album will stand on its own over time. The same way British Steel did, the same way Scream of Revengeance did and the same way Defenders of the Faith have. What we are getting here is a continuation of the Firepower sound with more musical interludes, more memorable songs, more memorable solos, more memorable melodies and more intricate songwriting and a metal smack in the face. I would say that's pretty accurate. I think it's its own animal as all the albums are as you said before. It's the character of the band that's been there for over half a century now. There's Halford, Glen Tipton, Ian Hill, Scott Travis. Scott's been there for 30 years. There's that beautiful legacy that they laid down along with KK Downing and Les Binks and Dave Holland and all those guys in the past. We always try to do something a little bit different in whether it's musical or lyrical content or we always try to make it better quote unquote. Better songs as you said, better production, better solos, better melodies. We always try and strive to do something that's better than the last one and has its own unique quality. I think that's pretty accurate what you said there. I am totally blown away by the way by this album. I can't believe it. It's unbelievable. When people hear this, they'll understand what we're saying. It's just what I'm saying. That's one of the most interesting things and exciting things about our record release. Now this is my third one with Priest as you know. We have a record that we know and now you've heard as well and no one else has heard it. No one else has heard songs like God is my witness or Sovereign and the King or Invincible Shield. No one's heard it yet. It's an incredibly exciting time. As you know man, as soon as that thing comes out, everyone's going to be giving their opinions and saying what their favorite track is and how it relates to other albums. That's the beauty of Priest, man. That's the beauty of Priest and now Priest family that we love so much. We can't wait to release it. What was your guitar plan going into this album versus the last album? What was your mindset? Well, there's two sides to this. I always do it the same way. I sit down with a guitar whenever. Like today I might sit down with a guitar and a riff will come out or a section will come out. I'll come up with something that sounds strong and build on that and I kind of let the guitar dictate what I'm coming up with and we take those ideas and then get them in a writing session together with the three of us and we put those ideas out there and see if anything sticks. I've always done that with the three albums, with the band, but what I did differently this time. We had a bit more time to develop riffs and solos and musical parts because of the lockdowns of the pandemic. There were a few solos on this record which I actually worked out. I don't usually do that. I usually play some Off the Cuff solos in the studio and a little bit stick here and there and you build it around them. But a few of them on this record I actually worked out. I'm always trying to find my own voice. I'm always trying to find my own thing to say. Coming in after KK Downing who had such a unique voice and Glenn as well, what am I going to say? That's always been my journey. I mapped out some of the guitar solos on this record which I don't usually do. I'll name you some of the songs that people haven't heard. I'll just throw in my little tidbit and then you tell me what you think. All right, here we go. The Serpent and the King. This to me is like Free Will Burning's cousin. That's interesting, man. That's great. Obviously it's a fast screeching pre-strike with Rob's banshee vocal style. That one had been around for a while with no vocals, but we knew there was something in the song. We knew there was an energy and a fire. And when Rob put the vocals on, I think it was one of the last ones that he came up with. It just sent it over the top, man. That Halford high register banshee while is something that really in the dynamic flow of the record, that's something that really makes the record and that song jump out. I really love that song. It'll be fantastic to play live. You know what I love about this album versus the last? I do love the last album, but this one's better because there's more little musical interludes. You're going off with the guitar on different tangents. Do you agree with that? I definitely agree with that. I've used the word progressive before and the internet tore me apart. Everyone's got a different definition. I think it was your fault. I think you put that out there. That's okay. I stand by that. It's progressive in the sense that it kind of, as you said, it doesn't stick to verse bridge chorus. If there's a musical part that wants to go somewhere else, we'll go there and then go somewhere else and then go somewhere else and then come back with twists and turns along the way. If anything, I think it's a less commercial record than firepower because it kind of, it strays away from that three-minute single as much as it could. I wasn't really interested in that dynamic. So I was just putting in more musical bits. Panic Attack actually had another musical part in it, which was a slower, solo part. We actually took that out because we actually thought it was too many, too many parts in there. So that was the kind of attitude that I was going into it with. And that's what the album kind of took on as a character. So we went with it. I love it. Invincible shield. This was my comment. Jawbreaker free will burning vibe and themic. Yeah. See, this is the thing when you release a new priest record, you attach it to songs. You have to. You have to, right? There's another way to describe something. Like for someone who's never heard it, you need to have some sort of context, right? No, you're absolutely right. It's one of those songs I've just mentioned, which has riff after riff after riff after part. The solo goes off in a different direction. The solo is almost like a musical piece in itself. It changes almost like Randy Rhodes. I was going for that. That was one of the solos that I mentioned. And I wanted like a Randy Rhodes type feel. And yeah, it's a challenging song to play right until the very end. There's stuff going on. So it's a great, fun, fast, anthemic track. And it sums up the title of the album, really. That's what it's all about. It's the metal that we all know and love. And it's our music and our community. And when I mean Defenders, I don't mean as the whole album because Defenders is a very different album. I'm talking about the more ferocious, fast tracks of Defender. That's what I'm getting. Those that vibe. No, for sure. Exactly. Gates of Hell Defenders vibe again with lots of 80s flash guitar, which would be allude to Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhodes ish. I think that's a fair statement as well. I mean, I think because of the vast tapestry that priests have laid down in the past, the diversity, you know, you have stuff like another thing coming next to Screaming for Vengeance, next to Beyond the Realms of Death. There's such a diverse groundwork that's been laid. If there's something that we're working on and it has that flair from that point in time, if it's a strong idea, we'll go with it, man. And it just allows you to do more stuff creatively, I think. I think, yeah, it's got a tip of the hat to the 80s, maybe, but a good, strong track, I think. Yeah. God as my witness, this is bark at the moon on steroids. Yeah, man. You know, you're saying these things. I never thought of things like that. But when you say it, you're not wrong. That's another fast one. This comes in after Crown of Horns, which is a mid-paced anthem. And when this one, there's a fade-out on Crown of Horns. And then when this one hits you, sometimes it makes me jump still. If I've got the speakers cranked and there's a fade-out on Crown of Horns, and then this one jumps in, this is relentless, this one. That's a great track. Escape from Reality. I'm getting a doomed Sabbath feel here. Yeah, that was one of Glenn's songs that he brought in to the sessions, and we needed a midsection. So we came up with something that was leaning, you know, as I said before, if you put some riffs down and they start to take on their own character, and it was a very kind of Sabbath-y midsection, and Rob went with that dynamic as well. But that was one of Glenn's ideas that we thought was strong and has a different texture on the album, both in sonics and in sentiment of the vocal. So we thought that was a good dynamic to have in there. And, you know, I just want to talk about Glenn for a moment. Glenn, you know, it's so sad about his illness. How's he doing? Well, he has good days and bad days, as you know. But, you know, again, what he could do on this album, we went in with the pretense of if you can play it, he would. And if he couldn't play it, then I would take over and share the responsibility. So it was important for us to have Glenn in there. And I think it might have been important for him as well to be included. Yes. As much as he could be. Like an elder, right? He's like an elder sort of looking over everything and just. Ah, dude. He's exactly like escape of reality. Something like that Glenn comes up with, that's a little bit off the cuff, and it has its own character. Glenn does, Glenn's vital to the pre-sound. So, yeah, that's how we approached it. Sons of Thunder. This is what I'm hearing. Sunset strip, a distant relative of hell-bent for leather. Bang on. I think that's bang on. I think definitely it reminds me of hell-bent for leather in heart. That's another one of Glenn's. Glenn came to the session and he had this song Sons of Thunder. We added a couple of bits and solo sections and stuff like that. And again, that's Tipton. Hell-bent for leather was Tipton too. So that's a testament to how he writes songs, short, sharp and to the point. Giants in the sky attribute to the metal gods that have passed. Is that, is that a fair, like it's hard for me to hear the lyrics, right? So I'm just trying to figure this out. You're absolutely right. But Rob has that kind of way of having something meaningful, but yeah, ambiguous as well. You know, it's slightly, you're not sure what it could refer to. But yeah, you're right. It's the metal gods that have passed that music, their music will live on forever. The last words on Rob's final scream is you will never die. And that kind of, I'll take as a reference to the music and these metal gods that we all hold in such high esteem, it will live on forever. And then you have like the bonus tracks with our three. And I thought, wow, man, these guys, I don't even know why they're bonus tracks. But then you have the Lodger and I think this is from the movie of Jack the Ripper, correct? It could have that kind of thing. It tells a story. It's Bob Halligan, Jr. that wrote that song who's got a history with priests, you know, taking heads are going to roll. Exactly. Yeah. So Bob, he produced that song for us and gave it to us. And it kept coming back, you know, we'd do work on other songs. And then that one kept coming back. And he's got a really unique, it's almost like a Broadway type sentiment, as you said, with the Jack the Ripper type stuff. So we wanted those three tracks. We thought they're strong tracks, but for one reason or another, didn't make the actual record, but we wanted them to be out there. So you know what it's like, man, you listen to some bonus tracks or some bands and you like those better than the ones on the record. So we just wanted to put everything out there. So Vicious Circle, Lodger, and Fight of Your Life. Fight of Your Life is one of my favorite songs on there. I love it. He's a great swagger. Yes. So we wanted to put them all out, but have that kind of album dynamic as it was and then put those out separately. Just to clarify, Bob Halligan, Jr., is this a cover or is this a song he wrote for you guys or what is that all about? He wrote it and thought it would be appropriate for priests to do, you know, with the history. And I think he could hear priests doing it and Rob singing it and stuff like that. So he presented it to us. And as I said, it just kept coming back into the sphere of consciousness. And we thought, let's have a go at it. And we did. And it came out really unique, I think. In the last few minutes that we have, tell me about Rob's vocals on this album versus the last album. Like to me, Rob is just far and off on all cylinders. You couldn't ask for a better vocals. Not only vocally, but the way he puts the songs across really connects the listener with them. You know, the sentiment of the song comes across and Rob's got such a diverse range, as we all know. He'll do the higher stuff. He'll do the low stuff and the stuff in the middle, which really is so dynamic. He's not just like a one-trick pony. He doesn't just do one thing. Rob does so many things, which makes him the metal god, the undisputed metal god. And it's fantastic to work with him. You know, and comment on this. Like, I'm listening to priests, I listen to sacks, and I listen to all the legacy bands. They seem to be the trailblazers of today. Like, we're in the past, it was the younger bands who were the trailblazers, you know, the 18, 19-year-old, 20-year-olds. Why are legacy bands pumping out such quality music? That's a good question. I think they've always, you always set out to create the best you can, I think, and they've always done that. You're right, there definitely seems to be a resurgence in, you know, quite-on-quite legacy acts. We're going out with Saxon, Uriah Heap in a couple of months. I don't know, man. I think things come full circle sometimes and tastes change and develop. And I don't know, man. It's just like a, as you said, it's a an upsurge in that type of classic metal. And I'm there for it, man. I love it. All right. Last thing, rethink your opening statement. How do you describe the album in one sentence? I still can't do that, man. It's such a, I can't do that. I can't. It's so, like, quantifying and describing your own music is so difficult to do without sounding, I don't know. I don't know, man. It's up to the listener. It's something that the listener is going to decide. I've got my opinion of it, which is, you know, it's who we are as priests in 2024. That's what we're coming up with, that we're forging forward on the legacy that they've laid and moving somewhere else, hopefully. And I hope fans dig it. On that note, Invincible Shield March 8th on Via Epic Records. The tour starts on April 18th in U.S. Hopefully you'll have some more dates come into Canada. Thank you so much, Richie, all the best. And I'll say it again, this is an outstanding album. Congratulations. Thank you very much, man. Thank you very much. I'll talk to you again soon. Talk soon, my friend. Bye. See you tonight. Bye-bye.


Welcome back. More on the Supreme Court's ruling that states can now force online retailers to charge and collect their state sales taxes from consumers out of state, shoppers out of state. We're going to show how it's affecting the markets in your pocketbook. Taking a hit, online retailers like Wayfair, eBay, Etsy, Overstock, all finishing in the red. Department stores look at this, of Brick and Mortar Guys, Target, Nordstrom, JCPenney, Coles, Dillards, they are in the green. Helps them. Shopping center REITs, also trading higher. These are the shopping mall guys. Let's bring in the panel. Kadina Group president, Gary B. Smith. And look who's here, stock swoosh owner. Melissa Armo, Gary B, what's your reaction? Well, I think people are getting way too excited that these Brick and Mortar retailers are going to come back and make a resurgence. I don't think that's ever been their problem or at least hasn't been their problem since basically the dawn of the internet. I think it's all about convenience. On the flip side, this is obviously another big government land grab where they hope to increase their coffers. They don't care about consumers. They only care about increasing their budgets. President Trump said, oh, this is a win for consumers. Still scratching my head trying to figure out how. Yeah, what do you think, Melissa? I think these states are really desperate to collect more money in their coffers. I'm from Pennsylvania, live in New York now, but last year in 2017, 43,000 notices were sent out for people who filed the returns to try to deny deductions. The state is desperate to collect taxes. And that was a record number for the state of Pennsylvania. These states are hurting in New York even. Even all the taxes we pay. So what's gonna happen, they're gonna keep spending instead of taking control of the budgets, which is what these states should do who are in debt and need money coming in. Now they're gonna say, oh, we're gonna get all this tax money in. Truth be told, we should have all been paying it anyways. To be fair, the brick and mortars and the online people both should have been paying the same, but ultimately consumers are gonna end up paying more. So I'm not happy about it, it was a shopper. I hear what you're saying, Gary B, what if you're an internet retailer with a presence in a high-tech state like California and New York, what do you do?  Amazon is, they're not paying taxes in general for the third-party goods they sell.  So it's gonna be like healthcare all over again where the small guy can't figure out how to do it and eventually goes out of business. You know, you may wanna buy stock in H&R Block, I'm kidding, but to Gary B's point, Melissa, I mean, there are 10,000 separate taxing jurisdictions across the country. That's what the little guy's gonna have to deal with, right? I know, and I'm surprised actually that Trump supported this passing because really he's been looking out for the little guy. So as far as small businesses, just like Gary said, this really isn't good for the little guy.  But how is it gonna affect our wallets, our pocketbook? As far as people's shopping habits, I don't think they will change. In other words, if you love to shop online on your phone or your computer, you're gonna continue to do that and you're just gonna pay the tax because it's the convenience, you're paying for the convenience. You might buy one less item because of the tax of the cost of it, but you're not gonna stop shopping online. People are not gonna stop using Amazon. It's gonna affect the smaller businesses just like Gary was saying, and that's the problem. I don't think consumer spending is gonna go down as a result of this.  What do you think, Gary B? I agree. Let's just say it's a $100 item from Amazon and it goes up $6, and now it's $106. I'll tell you what, as an Amazon Prime customer, which more and more of us are, I'd still spend the extra $6 not to have to get in the car and go to the shopping center park. I'll do all that stuff. It's still worth it to me. Gary B and Melissa, we love having you on. Come back soon, guys. We're gonna be right back after the break with more. Don't go away.
