not that diligently. June was insane. Deli is also proving insane. I shan't be telling you what I think of it. Oh, I don't think that I should be doing that. So I'm kind of mad about it. Well, it's been a minute since I last posted a video. There are several reasons for that. So let's catch up.  So I haven't like filmed any- well, that's not true. I have been diligently- not that diligently. My patrons chose the book to like for me to read and vlog for them in June to be a legacy. And I knew it would be long and it was longer even than I anticipated. One, because the book is long, so it took me a while. Two, I recorded a lot of extra footage because I just like can't be stopped. And then holiday and got sick, which are the other reasons that I've just generally not been like posting anything. And then I also was like a point of principle for me to like finish the vlog for my patrons, which became a two-parter. It was like three hours after editing, three hours. So like I had to split it up for my patrons because my computer and like yeah, because my computer wouldn't be able to handle a file, like all the files to make it all one three-hour of vlog, like because it's in- I have a 4k camera now. I mean my computer cannot handle that much. So I had to split it up for my patrons, but also until I actually like took that footage and edited it and uploaded it, like I wouldn't have room on my hard drive for anything else. So I was like, yeah, I need to finish this because I need to finish this, but also because I can't do anything else until I finish this. But also also, so there's just like so many like just perfect storm. Okay, so I was behind already and I was like, I really need to record something, I really need to record something. And then I started using a new face product, which I only learned after the fact has an adjustment period. So like my face started looking really bad. And I was like, oh no, maybe this isn't the right product for me. And I googled it and they're like, yeah, like you should like start slow, use it every other day, every third day until your skin gets used to it. Because like it's pretty typical to like your skin to like not like it at first. And I was like, oh great. So like having a 4k camera, it's not very forgiving.  Didn't really look great. And then I was having house guests over for the 4th of July, who were over for like majority of that week slash like I had to like clean the house and buy groceries for them and like just like, be busy with prepping for them and had them here while I was also working I had the fourth off but that was the only day I had off. So I was like working and entertaining. And so like no reading, no filming, no nothing was happening. And then while they were here, I got really, really sick. I don't, you know, I haven't pounded patient zero. I don't know exactly how I got sick, but I either got sick from their kid because it was my friend and their kid, like a little kid.  Or it's that like we went to Universal Studios on the 4th of July, which is also like a huge park with tons of people and tons of germs. So like at some point, I got really, really sick. So like, I'm now you can probably hear that I sound a little bit nasally. I'm mostly fine again. It's taken me like I started feeling sick Thursday. You don't know what today is. But anyway, so it's been like over like about a week or a little over a week since I started feeling sick. And now I'm not totally better. I'm still like coughing a lot.  I'm just like recovering from having been sick. I finished the vlog for my Patrons for Jade Legacy finally, because I had three hours of footage after editing. Now I finally was able to like clear my memory card, clear the space in my hard drive and film new things. But we are already halfway through July. And I didn't get up the TBR for July. And I now have the wrap up to also do so today, all I have to say today, we are going to do both my June wrap up and my July TBR all at once so we can just like catch up. And this also gave me time to like finish some June books. I still didn't finish my June TBR. But some of my June TBR I was finishing in July. Yeah, June was insane.  So I'm quite stressed by how large my July TBR stack is when I haven't really started on that because I've been finishing June and we're halfway through July. So let's go chronologically, I guess. Let's do my June wrap up and then actually won't take that long because of reasons. And then July TBR and then I'll be caught up-ish. I just have to like do all the reading then. So yeah, it's good to be back. Good to be feeling like I'm back. And sorry for being absent so long. But yeah, now you know why. And let's talk about what I did manage to rate. Okay, so the first book that I read in June was The Last Word by Taylor Adams, my book of the month club pick. Yeah, this was my like pick from the books of the month is a thriller about somebody who posts a negative review of a book. And then they like the author of that book comes for them. Or at least they think that that's what's happening. So I was like, as soon as this was one of the choices, so many people were like, wait a minute, you have to pick that. That's like, that's about you. I was like, that's why I don't want to pick it because I'll be like, oh no, if this happens to me. But that is not a fear that I have because this book was ridiculous. And not even in like a fun campy way. I've certainly read books that are ridiculous, but are like, it's like a nebulous, like hard to define thing and it probably varies person to person. But I feel like a book needs to be like self awarely ridiculous, like it needs to lean into being ridiculous and like needs to give you the sense that like it also knows. And it's like, we know we're ridiculous. This is why I love the show Riverdale.  And ironically, I cannot trust her, which you know, fair enough. But Riverdale knows what Riverdale is, like no one in Riverdale, no one writing Riverdale, no one directing Riverdale is under any illusions about what kind of show that it is. And when people I've seen like videos, people be like, this dialogue in Riverdale is so unrealistic. Like who talks like this? And I'm like, do you think that they are unaware? Do you think that Riverdale doesn't know that it's like surreal, that it's like over the top, that it is breaking the fourth wall, that it is homage and pastiche and absurdity, like it consciously is choosing to do these things stylistically. So like, I love Riverdale. And if Riverdale didn't know that Riverdale was Riverdale, okay, then fair enough, that's that's fair criticism. But it definitely knows like it's doing this on purpose with intention. Anyway, point being this book was just kind of bad. Like it wasn't like, so over the top that it's become like a satire of itself, which is kind of what I guess that's what I'm getting out of Riverdale. Riverdale is like self-saturizing. I do not recommend this is not a particularly good thriller. The premise is pretty bad. And then like the the answer to what's been going on or like the who did the doing of the done it type of thing, not very satisfying. I don't recommend. It's pretty it's pretty dumb in my opinion. So the reason this wrap up won't actually take that long it's not it's partially because I didn't finish my tbr but it's also because four of the books on it are the books that Bookhorn chose for me for our tbr swap. And we are having our like live shots about it in this coming week, I believe Wednesday and Thursday, we or Tuesday Wednesday, I think Wednesday, Thursday, and we haven't decided who's going first, but like those are the two days. So I will not be telling you like what I think about the Bookborn books here because I will be telling the world what I think of them during the live chat with Bookborn. But anyway the next book that I read was Invisible Women, a data bias and a real design for men by Caroline Criado Perez. So this is the first of the Bookborn books that I read and finished and you'll find out what I thought on Bookborn's channel in the coming week. Next was another Bookborn book and that was The Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson. I shan't be telling you what I think of it. If you want to know what I think of it, you'll have to join us in the live show on Bookborn's channel. The next book I read was my other Book of the Month Club book and that was A Gentleman in Moscow by Amore Tolles. I read the Lincoln Highway end of last year, beginning of this year, was very impressed with it and decided to read all the Amore Tolles books that Book of the Month Club has. I read Rules of Civility next and after I picked it everyone was like no not that one. You're a gentleman in Moscow so this is I think the third and final book that they have. I don't know if Amore Tolles has written more than this. I think this is the only other one that Book of the Month Club has. So yeah this is a lot better than Rules of Civility. I think of the three I think Lincoln Highway might be my favorite but I did really really like Gentleman in Moscow. I'd have to think about that which I definitely had time to think about because I knew I was doing this wrap-up but I didn't think about that. So anyway very different in terms of like subject matter and setting and all that than Lincoln Highway. This takes place sort of like Soviet Russian Revolution era. It follows like an aristocrat that's under the house arrest because he's in a hotel but he's under hotel arrest for like the rest of his life because he's an aristocrat and that's like against the Bolsheviks. So but for reasons they're not going to kill him they're just going to let him live in this hotel but he cannot leave the hotel. I did see criticism not a lot. Mostly this has really positive reviews. I did see criticism and I had to like sort of think about why because I was like that should bother me because that's a good point but it didn't bother me and why is that. So like I always like want to know why I think what I think it's not like enough for me to just think a thing. I'm like why do I think that? Am I right to think that? The fact that this is like a really tumultuous time with like a lot of hardship like historically speaking like this era and this like area of the world had a lot of people going through a lot and suffering a lot.  So it's like who cares? Like there's so many people that went through so much more and whose stories I guess would be more interesting because they've gone through more. So like who cares about this guy?  So like who cares about this guy and also how interesting could that possibly be when he literally can't leave a hotel?  So like who cares? So the reason this doesn't, I mean I think that's fair in terms of like you know who are we focusing our narrative on? Who are we going to like not platform but you know like give our attention to like certainly there are more worthy stories but I don't think every book needs to be worthy. You know what I mean? And it's not like there aren't books that and movies and shows that like cover this era of history and do show you those hardships. So if like there if this was like a completely unknown era, an unknown hardship you know that we were like bringing to people's attention this era then I'd be like okay probably don't focus on the aristocrat that like was in a hotel. But there are a lot of stories about this already so like to center the story on this character who's like a little bit out of touch already because they're an aristocrat and is even more out of touch because they literally cannot be in touch with what's going on outside because they cannot go outside. Like he cannot go and like participate in like what's going on in his country because he literally cannot do that. So I really enjoyed the way that this like presented this kind of like tiny little microcosm and this person's day to day life is like focused on his day to day life.  So it's like all these like little kind of mundane you know the Downton Abbey of the Russian Revolution you know like just like just people in this big hotel going about their business and interacting with him and he's kind of a quirky guy. But the way that telling this story like having the lens be focused on this aristocrat the way that like in the periphery like you observe the changes that are happening in Russia without that being the focus of the narrative. So it's like you absorb the revolution and the political upheaval and everything biosmosis because even in this like isolated like little like the narrow scope and narrow view of this character you still witness the changes that are happening in this country without even meaning to. Like the way that you don't have to be paying attention to it. You don't have to be like focusing your narrative on those changes to see them manifest in like even in this like hotel that is like this dude living this like isolated life in this hotel. You see the changes like even without meaning to and then he himself like I think it's like it's kind of like reading like Name of the Wind or like Looks Like That where it's like okay it's like the day-to-day stuff but it's like written really compellingly with like really good character work. So like I found the main character like charming and it's not to say like I'm defending the aristocracy or anything like that but like you know he's a human being like it's you know you don't dehumanize the poor neither should you dehumanize the aristocracy like um he's an individual person who made individual choices having been born into the aristocracy as he was like it's not his fault that he was born an aristocrat and he like has interesting views some of which are like that's like a you know a good way to think and be a person and other stuff that's like you're clearly an aristocrat but like not the worst version of that and he's just like an interesting person with an interesting perspective on things and that people he interacts with are interesting people with interesting perspectives on things and it was just like it was a lush and and good time that like it wasn't like propulsive or like this thrilling horrifying historical epic or anything like that but it was in how mundane everything was that it really like felt like lived in and I really felt like I had like spent all these years with this man and kind of gotten to know him and like gotten to know this hotel and just kind of like vibed and there's like there's genuine like there's heartwarming things there's tragedy there's I think it was really beautiful and I think it's fine to tell a story like this you know what I mean like I you don't have to tell focus your story like find the absolute worst possible situation in any historical time period and like that has to be the story you tell if someone had it better than that person then you can't tell their story you have to tell the worst story like I don't think that that's like a fair metric so anyway if you're interested in anything that I just described like I would highly recommend this next up for the year of gayman I read a noncy voice by Neil Gaiman which was a reread this was my first time listening to it on audiobook and I do recommend the audiobook it's one of the few gayman audiobooks that's not read by Neil Gaiman which is probably to its benefit because like there's a lot of like accents that I I'm sure Neil Gaiman would struggle to do um where that he would be like oh I don't think that I should be doing that and the narrator is very very very good and yeah it's been it had been a minute since I had read this and it was I had it was interesting to me like the things that I definitely remembered the things like I didn't before even picking it up that I was like if you asked me what happened to the noncy boys like that those were the things that I remembered and other things that are like pretty like significant that I just completely forgot so it was like weirdly like reading a book for the first time because there was so much that I had forgotten but also familiar so yeah I owe you a couple gayman videos um but you know they're they're coming next up for the witcher readalong we read baptism of fire by Andres Apkowski and the chat for it was on chapter three podcast as they all are if you missed it I'll leave a link down below we had a great chat I told Bethany this is like the farewell tour for Geralt because the focus like after this point really shifts away from Geralt so I love this book I loved it the first time I loved it this time and it was a great time talking about it so yeah check it out if you missed it next to I'll just do it once because I'm not gonna tell you I shan't be telling you what I think of them and the bookborn books are stories of your life and others by Ted Chang and a song for the void by Andrew C. Piazza and um yeah if you want to know what I think about these books you're gonna have to watch the live on Bookborn's channel now these next two I finished in July which was barely jay legacy by Fondali I did it I finished the green bone saga um I feel like I've lived through something I really really do what a ride what a ride so much happens in these books so much time passes in these books in particular the last one yeah Fondali man she is uh very talented so yeah I finally finally did it and last but not least is the my patrons and I are the buddy read for us um is they read along of the daughter of smoke and fountain trilogy which is a reread for me as everything this year is I'm just rereading everything days of letting starlight by Laini Taylor which is the second book in the daughter of smoke and fountain trilogy and yeah I there was something really really big in this that I had totally forgotten and when I was reading it I was like how did I forget this oh boy if you've never read these books before I recommend them so I'm re-reading them but um trigger warnings I mean I told I remembered this one being really really dark and being without doubt the darkest one in the trilogy but most of what I remembered of the darkness was like the war side of darkness because there's a lot of that in this but there is also so I had forgotten that and I was when I was reading this was like oh I'm glad I warned everybody that this is the darkest one because I totally forgot about this whoo like reading the whole of this book but in particular of this thing that I forgot I'm just like how is this YA is that allowed this is really really dark but really really excellent so I'm excited to read the third and final book this month those are all the books that I read in June typically I would say like and subscribe blah blah blah but nope we're doing July TBR so all these books I have to read before the end of the month which is like very very soon oh no oh no first up I have The Cask by Freeman Wills Croft this is for Blades and Bodice Rippers because of course in July we have Blades and Bodice Rippers and I have no time the live show for this will be on Mars channel this year as with everything we are dressing up with all of our live shows for Blades and Bodice Rippers so since this is like a it's also og23 if you have forgotten so we were trying to read like genre progenitor type of things so this is like a classic I believe a detective store I mean it has this fun emblem so presumably I could rely on that but yeah this is like a classic um detective story so we're all dressing up as something adjacent to that either like from this era or generally detectives or whatever the voice is giving out I don't know if I can keep going I can do this I can do this so yeah I'm looking forward to reading this my patrons and I are buddy reading just because it's not like the official buddy reader anything um Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov this is mostly my fault I think because I won't shut up about Blade Runner 2049 and Blade Runner 2049 frequently references Pale Fire so I got my interest up for reading Pale Fire and I got everyone else's well not everyone but some people's interest up so I think they've my patrons have already read this I think they read it while I was sick so I need to catch up but I'm quite excited to read it and then probably rewatch 2049 again then my patrons and I now that we're done with Book of the New Sun we've decided to do another sci-fi series to read as well not as the official buddy read but also to like chat about extensively so the Hyperion Cantos is what we're tackling next I read the first two last year I think or the two years ago how long has it been it might have been two years ago anyway my patrons actually chose Hyperion the first book for me to read and vlog for them at some point and then I myself then read the second one but I never finished the third and fourth ones so we're going to do them all over again so the first and second ones will be rereads for me kind of like a book of the new sun where I had read some of them but not all of them so we're reading all four every other month so next month I'm not reading um Fall of Hyperion that will be September but anyway I'm looking forward to it because I really did enjoy Hyperion. Next is the book that my patrons have chosen for me to read and vlog for them so now that I've just finished the Jade Legacy vlog I need to like immediately dive into vlogging again and then it's A Natural History of Dragons a memoir by Lady Trent now I'm kind of bad because I used to own this in hardcover I used to own this whole well I don't know if it was a whole series like whatever without at the time so it was like three or four books I owned them all in hardcover and then I like didn't read them for forever and I was like am I ever going to read these probably not so I got rid of them now the hard covers are out of print and my patrons chose it for me so I had to go and buy a stupid paper bag so I'm kind of mad about it I wish I could go into my past self and be like nope don't don't do it you're gonna need this because this like I mean I'm finally getting better about like you don't need to keep this you're not going to use this you're never going to read this just get rid of it and now the fact that this has happened it's gonna like set me back in my like mental health now everything I'm just gonna be like no but what if that happens again maybe I do need it you never can tell anyway at least it's a lot shorter than jade legacy so there's that next up for the year of gaming is I think the only book by gaming in my year of gaming that I have never read before I'm pretty sure that's true it's not true fragile things short fictions and wonders by Neil Gaiman um I've read trigger warning and smoke and mirrors so I've read those short story collections this I think is the only short story collection of his that exists that I have not read I was really looking forward to it I mean I still generally am um because I remember the both times that I saw him speak he read a story from fragile things which made me go oh I really need to read that collection because that was a great story and also it's like you know new game in which is like not a thing regularly for me like I've read most of Gaiman already my patrons already started reading it or finished it and they're not too hot about this collection they're like that's not as good as trigger warning or smoke and mirrors so I'm like this is probably my favorite cover for all of the short story collections just because I like bees a lot I don't even know if that's a bee is it a bee possibly I don't know but I like that kind of thing and it's orange objects will do the best color I'll probably do with this what I did with smoke and mirrors um which is to vlog where I tell you my thoughts as I finish each story I don't know where I will find the time to do that but that is my intention next because I didn't read it in June um we pushed the live show to July although it's coming up fast his dark age um for the red rising readalong the live show will be on my channel I need to read it I've read this one most recently from all the ones that were rereading which is all the whole series I read this like a year or two ago year or two ago for Alan's readalong so this is pretty fresh in my brain but I would like to reread it although it is really really dark but anyway looking forward to chatting about this book and making Alex cry about all my accurate theories next is a book that um I haven't read in a long time but I loved it the first time I read it and I sort of talked my patrons into reading it as well because the sequel um which this was originally a standalone but there's a sequel coming out this month or next month I don't know but I want to read the sequel so I wanted to read the first one again and that is house of salt and sorrows by Aaron A Craig when this came out I got a lot of buzz I feel pretty like not I don't feel much excitement for a lot of white fantasy this is like probably like five years ago probably but yeah it's copy assigned is it cool no it's no I have an octopus on it that's cool it goes I have a cool boomerkin here but the game of thrones quote on it who knew I didn't publication date that's what I was checking 2019 no I thought it was a little older than that but that's still yeah that's oh my god that is almost five years this is a retelling which I don't really like usually fairytale retelling so I'm like no really retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses which is not a fairytale that people retell very often it's always Cinderella Beauty and the Beast well usually those two sometimes sleeping beauty sometimes snow white it's never the 12 Dancing Princesses I was so surprised by how moody and atmospheric this book was the ending like let me down a little bit but otherwise like I like devoured it I was like I think the first time I read it it was like around Halloween time and I had been reading books that I thought would be kind of spooky and they were just like doing nothing for me and then I picked this up randomly and this was like quite spooky and I was like okay this was not like my Halloween read but like dang this is way more atmospheric and giving me like way more chills than anything that I thought would and since then she came out with a different book not the sequel to this completely unrelated called small favors it was also really atmospheric and interesting and I was like I think this is an autobiography for me that one also had an ending to kind of let me down so I was like this is what I've come to know about this author is that like I really like her work I like the atmosphere her endings like leave something to be desired but that's fine the journey is worth it so she's written a sequel to this House of Roots and Ruin which comes out like very soon so hence rereading House of Salt and Sorrows another YA book I'm reading with my patrons I think they already started slash finished it that is the third in the Jane Austen mysteries that I've been enjoying manslaughter park by tears of price um the first were um pride and premeditation and sense and second degree murder I enjoyed both very much and I like mansfield park which I know a lot of people don't um so I'm quite interested to see what she does with mansfield park to make it murdery um I mean I just have a really good time with these when I read them so I expect this to be no different and then even though I didn't actually manage to finish before they are hanged in June last argument of games in July I'll finish before they are hanged like I'm not too like worried about it I've read it a few times before they are hanged is my favorite in the trilogy so I probably will make enough effort to finish it and then also last argument of kings so you know when I get to it oh because because Mara's reading them so at some point we will chat about them I don't know when I don't know anything in the witcher readalong continues with tower of swallows um which I remember the first time I read the series this was where things went downhill for me I'm hoping that because I'm going in prepared for that this time that I kind of like um this like was like with feast for crows like I remember the first time I read the game of throne series or a song of ice and fire I was really let down my feast for crows but ready rereading it going and kind of knowing what it would be and what it wouldn't be I actually really loved the second time so I'm hoping the tower of swallows now that like I do know what this is and what it isn't that I will enjoy it a lot more the second time but we shall see this is 100 000 the best cover in these new hard covers like stunning 10 out of 10 no notes next up is mickey seven by um edward ashton and just getting this book was kind of a saga this is the uk hardcover I could had been kind of interested in this book and then been like oh I'll get it whenever and then I saw a sequel come out to it and I was like oh yeah and then I went to look and blackwell supposedly had one copy left of the hardcover of the first one and then obviously the new one had just come out so they had that hardcover and I was like oh cool like just in time so I ordered both the hardcover of this and the sequel and then like a month later blackwells was like whoopsie dubsy sorry we don't actually have that book so here's your refund and I was like what I have the hardcover now of the sequel they must match so I found on amazon uk um this copy from a third party seller which like cost twice as much as the copy that I had ordered from blackwells but I was like this has become a thing now I must have this because the uk cover is as always superior to the american cover it's a sci-fi story and um I've talked to my patrons or some of them into reading it as well so there's no like reason for this this isn't a read along this isn't anything like that it's just because then um I skipped book of the month club um in I usually read like the previous month's books in the subsequent month so like I didn't pick anything for um June right okay whatever yeah I didn't pick a June book but I did have a book last year from book of the month club book uh book of the month that I didn't actually read um that was like leftover so I was like well since I skipped then I'll slap this in and that's other birds by Sarah Addison Ellen but of course July is like a crazy busy month so if there's anything that I can bump off it's probably this so I probably still won't get to this but it's short I would like to get it done and count it towards my reading challenge on book of the month but anyway that's what this is and last but not least is the aforementioned conclusion to the daughter's book and bone trilogy dreams of gods and monsters by Leni Taylor this is the thickest and in my opinion the weakest in the trilogy at least the first time I read it I think it still will be because it was like a pacing thing it wasn't yeah the story is fine it's the pacing but I'm still looking forward to it and those are all the books that I read and will read in June and July and why I haven't been around so let me know in the comments down below if you missed me don't let me know if you didn't miss me or whatever you only know I post videos on saturdays other random times as well but only saturdays so like and subscribe for my patreon if you feel so inclined and I'll see you when I see you bye


The comic version of Gore from Thor, God of Thunder, was a hideous alien with a bulbous nose-less face, fangs, twilight-like head-tails, and a disheveled look. Twilight is a race from the Star Wars franchise, seen for the first time in Star Wars Episode 6, Return of the Jedi. Due to its trailer being released much later on, Thor, Love and Thunder has broken the record for the shortest gap between an MCU movie's first trailer and its theatrical release with less than a two-month gap between both. Christian Bale is the second actor to play Batman to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, after Michael Keaton and Spider-Man Homecoming. Tycho Whitey is the first person to direct more than one Thor film. He also directed Thor Ragnarok. During the scene in New Asgard near the beginning of the movie, there's a play put on for tourists where Matt Damon plays the stage version of Loki. Matt Damon played Loki in the movie Dogma, directed by Kevin Smith.


This is a video about finding the median of a continuously distributed random variable. Suppose we're looking at the graph of a probability density function. The median is a place where the probability of getting less than the median is a half, and the probability of getting more than the median is a half. In other words, it's the place where the cumulative probability is a half. And so the output from the cumulative distribution function is a half. And this is the key formula that we need to remember. The median is the solution if the equation f of m is equal to a half. Okay, let's look at some examples. You might be given the probability density function for a continuous random variable and asked to find the median from that. But in order to find the median, we need to solve an equation involving the cumulative distribution function, not the probability density function. So the first thing to do is to convert the probability density function into a cumulative distribution function. There are various ways of doing this, and you might like to have a go before continuing with the video. Okay, one way to convert a probability density function into a cumulative distribution function is to use indefinite integration. And we can say that when x is between 1 and 3, f of x is the integral of a sixth of x plus 1. That's the same as the integral of a sixth of x plus a sixth, which is one-twelfth of x squared plus a sixth of x plus c. Okay, but now we need to find out what the plus c is, and we can do that by looking at f of 1. We know that f of 1 must be 0, because the probability of getting up to and including 1 is nothing. And so if we substitute 1 into the above formula, we know we should get the answer 0. In other words, we know that a twelfth times 1 squared plus a sixth times 1 plus c should be 0. If you solve that, it means that a quarter plus c is 0, and therefore that c is minus a quarter. Okay, so now we can say what the cumulative distribution function is in this case. f of x is 0 when x is less than 1, a twelfth of x squared plus a sixth of x minus a quarter when x is between 1 and 3, and 1 when x is greater than 3. Now we know the cumulative distribution function. We can find the median by solving the equation f of m is equal to a half. Putting m into the function gives us a twelfth of m squared plus a sixth of m minus a quarter equals a half. Or in other words, a twelfth of m squared plus a sixth of m minus three quarters equals 0. This is a quadratic equation, and one way to make it easier to solve is to multiply everything by 12, which gives us m squared plus 2m minus 9 equals 0.  And that gives us the answer 2.16 or minus 4.16 to three significant figures. And obviously the only correct answer here is 2.16, because that's the only answer that's between 1 and 3. So 2.16 is the median. Let's look at another example. This time suppose that we're given the cumulative distribution function, and we're asked to show that the median is 2.46, correct to two decimal places. Well this time we could try and solve the equation f of m is equal to a half, but you can see it would be an extremely complicated equation, because it would involve cubes of m and even the fourth power of m. And actually there's a much simpler method. We can show that the median is 2.46 correct to two decimal places by showing that it's between 2.455 and 2.465. And we can do that by showing that the cumulative probability at 2.455 is less than a half and the cumulative probability at 2.465 is greater than a half. And we can work out these cumulative probabilities simply by substituting the numbers into the cumulative distribution function. So first of all let's work out f of 2.455. It turns out to be 0.499 0876 990 and so on. And secondly let's work out f of 2.465. It turns out to be 0.503 456 1846 and so on. And that's all we need to do really. We just need to point out that because the cumulative probability at 2.455 is less than a half and the cumulative probability at 2.465 is more than a half the median is definitely somewhere between 2.455 and 2.465 and therefore whatever it is it rounds to 2.46 to two decimal places. Let's look at a third example. This time suppose that the cumulative distribution function is defined in four pieces and we have to find the median. So suppose that f of x is 0 when x is less than 0 and it's 1 when x is greater than 4. Then there are two definitions for between 0 and 4. Between 0 and 2 it's a 12th of x squared and between 2 and 4 it's a third of x minus 1. Let's see how we would find a median in this case. Well we're supposed to be solving the equation f of m is equal to a half. So we could begin by assuming that m was between 0 and 2 in which case we'd get the equation a 12th of m squared is equal to a half. And when we solve that we get m squared equals 6 which means that m is 2.45 to three significant figures. But it's important to realise that this can't be the right answer and perhaps you can see why not. We assumed that m was between 0 and 2 and now we've got an answer which isn't between 0 and 2. So in fact our assumption must have been wrong and actually m must be between 2 and 4. So in that case we need to solve a third of m minus 1 is equal to a half or in other words m minus 1 is equal to one and a half which means that m is 2 and a half. And this time you can see that we're all right. We assumed that m was between 2 and 4 and we've got an answer that's between 2 and 4. So m is equal to 2 and a half. The median is equal to 2 and a half. Okay now it's important to understand what just happened here. To begin with we were trying to find an answer which was between 0 and 2. We assumed that the median was between 0 and 2 and that's like trying to find a triangle like this whose area is equal to a half. But it turns out that you can't do that because even if you take the whole triangle up to where x is equal to 2 the area is still less than a half. You'd actually need to look at an even bigger triangle like this to get an area that's equal to a half. But obviously at x is equal to 2 the definition of the cumulative distribution function changes and so we can't have a triangle like this giving us a probability of a half. Instead we get a cumulative probability of a half by going into the region between x is equal to 2 and x is equal to 4. So we need to be careful here and be on the lookout for phantom answers that aren't really correct. A better way of tackling this question is actually to test at the very beginning whether the answer is between 0 and 2 and between 2 and 4. And the way to do this is to find the cumulative probability at 2. If we calculate f of 2 you'll see that it's a 12 times 2 squared which is a third and that's less than a half. So that means that when x is 2 we haven't got a large enough cumulative probability yet to reach the median. The median must be more than 2. And as soon as we know that the median is more than 2 we know we should be dealing with the case where x is between 2 and 4. And we can solve the equation exactly as we did before. Okay, so that's three examples of looking at finding the median of a continuously distributed random variable. I just want to end by talking about quartiles and quantiles more generally. So the median is the solution of f of m is equal to a half. And you can find the lower quartile in a very similar way. You just have to find the solution of f of q1 is equal to a quarter. You can find the upper quartile by solving f of q3 is equal to three quarters. And for example, you could find the third decile by solving f of d3 is equal to three tenths. Okay, that's the end of my video about finding the median of a continuously distributed random variable. The most important thing that you need to remember is that the median is the solution of f of m is equal to a half. Thank you very much for watching.


Well hundreds of people headed to Hackensack for a winter wonderland festival and while some in the north would leave the area for the winter organizers were excited and many wanted to come back to hack. Malmyer reports. And what else do you do in the winter? Get together and have fun. It's a four-day festival full of snowmobiling, ice fishing and fishing out those who are willing to jump in the lake. This is our first time doing it and we got all of our like family members here some of them at least to come out and do it with us. Stasia Williams and her family are new to the area. They were excited to hear about the events including the penguin plunge. I've always wanted to do this so we find I was like hey they have one right up the road let's do it. Roger Jaycock stopped by the chili feed at the Legion. He says he comes every year to the festival. Come in for the polar plunge and then if the weather's decent we ride snowmobiles in and then come back for the fireworks and that. One organizer says this is exactly what back to hack is all about. I think the goal and the purpose is to bring more people to the area and it's a community event so it brings people together as a community. While the activities are fun for the entire family they're also bringing much needed funds to the area. In 2013 the penguin plunge raised nearly $11,000 for the Pines Area Medical Development Association. Bonnie DePri says the festivities work better when the area nonprofits are involved. If they want to join in to the festivities and do something we want that to benefit them as well. While the chili feed benefited the Legion when people dropped by they could put in their names for silent auction items. All of the items were donated to raise money for the 4th of July fireworks. The community has been very generous with their donations and truly appreciate every one of them. New this year was a fish fry prepared by the Cass County Sheriff Department and held at the Hackensack Firehouse. Free will donations were accepted to help buy new equipment. We need a new tender tanker truck and we're looking for money for that. Even the area businesses were helping each other such as giving away movie tickets as a kids game prize. We're totally about bringing the community together and having fun and working with everybody here. In Hackensack I'm Mal Meyer, Lakeland News.

If you have your Bible today, we're going to go into the scripture. I would like you to follow with me. If you don't have a physical Bible, you can open the U-Version Bible app and receive notes there as well. In John 3, verse 14, it's a very famous verse, verse 16 that we all know, but I'm going to read two verses before verse 16. It says the following, and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of God be lifted up, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life or eternal life. And in verse 16, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. If we go to Numbers 21 where the story originated, I'm going to read two verses, Numbers 21 and verse 8 and verse 9. Then the Lord said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and it shall be that everyone who is bitten when he looks at it shall live. So Moses made a bronze serpent, put it on the pole, and so it was. If a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. Now, we know from the Bible, you don't have to be a theologian, but if you've read anything or heard anything about the Bible, you know that there are different typologies or similarities or shadows of who Jesus is. A lamb, a lion, the Holy Spirit sometimes is viewed as a dove, fire, wind, oil. But in here, Jesus himself speaks to a religious man and he compares himself to a serpent, a snake. From the beginning in the Bible, in the first few pages of the Bible, you meet a serpent and he is not symbol of Jesus. He is symbol of the devil. Snakes are devils. And those of you who keep snakes as pets, I don't know about you. I just think, or pigs as pets, or cats as pets. Okay, I think I'm crossing the boundary now. But all right, keep the cats. Cats are okay. But pigs, that's crossing it. Okay, you can keep them. If you really like the piglet, keep the piglet. A snake, everything about a snake is evil. The way they are, the way everything about them. And in the Bible, they were presented serpents, snakes. Jesus told us, gave us authority over snakes and serpents. Satan is presented as a serpent. And this is the time where Jesus himself, he doesn't compare himself to a lamb in this instance. He doesn't compare himself to a lion in this particular story. He says, as Moses lifted a serpent, and he begins to make a comparison to himself as a serpent. I believe every person needs to encounter Jesus as a snake, as a Christian. As an unbeliever, we meet Jesus as a lamb who takes away our sin. In Egypt, Israel met this lamb that was innocent. This lamb died. And because the lamb died, Israel was protected from the death that was killing the firstborn. But when they go on into Numbers 21, they are out of Egypt. They are out of slavery. They are out of the grip of their enemy. They're out of their past. They begin to complain. They are saved already. But they're complaining. They have flesh issues. They have other problems. And the Bible says the serpents begin to bite them. And God doesn't bring the lamb again. He brings a snake. Makes a bronze like a red copper collar. Makes a snake through Moses and lifts it up. And says, if you look at the snake, you will live. In Egypt, if you have the blood of the lamb, you will live. But the moment you get saved, God gives another revelation about his son Jesus Christ. Where he is revealed as a bronze serpent. Why is that? Jesus as a lamb died for my sin. As a serpent, he became my sin. As a lamb, I received redemption. As a serpent, I was given righteousness. As a lamb, the sin was placed on him. And therefore the penalty of my sin was removed. And I am forgiven, but still struggle with guilt. I am forgiven, but I still have the memories and I still have the residue of my past.  I still complain and grumble and make mistakes. I am saved. I am pulled out of Egypt, but I still struggle with certain issues. But when I encounter the serpent, when I encounter Jesus who became my sin, I am not forgiven of sin. I am clothed with righteousness. It says in Corinthians, in Corinthians 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 21. And if you have that verse and you can put that verse up. 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 1. It says the following. I was memorizing it today actually, but I want to read it. 5 21. For he made him who knew no sin. To be what? It doesn't say he made him who knew no sin to carry our sin. John the Baptist looked at Jesus and says here is the Lamb who takes away the sin. But Apostle Paul in here says he made him who knew no sin not to take my sin on himself. To be sin. Why? So that I can become righteousness of God in him. Not so that I will be forgiven. That's been taken care of by the Lamb. It's so that I will become righteous because that's been taken care of by the serpent. Jesus on the cross became a serpent. He didn't just take my sin, he became my sin. Why? So that God doesn't just forgive my sin. But God makes me as righteous as Jesus was sinful. Jesus did not become sin by sinning. I don't become righteous by right doing. Jesus became sin by surrender. And I become righteous by looking at Jesus on the cross. The revelation of Jesus the serpent was not given in Egypt. It was given to the delivered folks. If you are here today and you don't have a relationship with the Lord, I want to introduce you the Lamb of God who came on this earth and he took your sin upon himself and he paid a penalty in full for all of your sin.  Now remember talking to a girl who committed abortion and couldn't forgive herself for what she's done. She grew up Catholic and said that I need to punish myself. Listen, Jesus' blood is enough. If it wouldn't be enough, God would tell you so and says you still need to add something to that. God doesn't expect you to pay more or add a tip to that payment. Once you receive forgiveness, what a glorious gift that is. The weight is lifted off. The pressure, the grip of the devil over you is broken. You're not done with God yet.  Jesus says I want to reveal another feature of me to you.  Because a serpent, it wasn't a real serpent. It was a made serpent. He didn't take a serpent from the ground. He was beating people and fried it or put it in the oven and cooked it and hanged it. This wasn't like that. He made a serpent out of a bronze and on the cross, God made Jesus in Corinthians. We read 2 Corinthians 5, 21. It says he made him who knew no sin, meaning that there was no serpent. He made out of a bronze a serpent. He makes Jesus that has no sin in his thought, in his attitude, in his motive, and Jesus becomes, not just pays for my sin. He becomes my sin. And why is that necessary? Because God doesn't want me to just be delivered from Egypt and become an ex-slave, ex-sinner, ex-loser, ex-dis and ex-dead. God wants me to become righteous, righteous. It's more than just I'm redeemed. It's more than just my sins are paid for. It's more than just God wiped the record clean and I am going to heaven when I die. That's forgiveness. That's redemption. That's eternal life. But righteousness, meaning you lived your life right. It's not just you lived your life pure and innocent. You lived your life right. There is a reward for that. And that, my friend, is what Jesus became in the wilderness for Israel. That's what he became on the cross for you as a Christian.  You're not measuring up. You're breaking your own New Year's resolutions. You're losing your streaks on the Bible app. You're constantly tripping into this, falling into that, sleeping into this. You're not good enough. After Egypt, the Lord does not want you to elevate your wounds, your faults, your shame, and your guilt as a point of gazing upon. He didn't ask Israel to study and to investigate and to gaze upon where the snake bit. He says, lift your eyes from your faults.  But I thought the lamb took over the Egypt's problem. Yes. But Egypt is gone. You still have you. And the you gets you in trouble. The you gets you bitten. The you hurts. The you trips up. The you, yes, the you, the people chosen by God in the wilderness complain.   And God says, I didn't just deliver you from Egypt. I wasn't just your lamb. I'm also your serpent.  And I want you to lift it to Jesus, not the lamb, but a bronze serpent who became righteous, who became sin so that you can become righteous. How do you become righteous? The same way Jesus became sin. Jesus didn't smoke, drink or hanging out with the prostitutes, sleeping with them to become sin. He surrendered and the father made him sin. And if the father knew that inside of him he was still pure and holy. He was a maid.  This was like fake sinner. Jesus was the only fake sinner there because he was not a real deal. Like Jesus on the inside was so good and pure that even his betrayer said, I betrayed innocent blood. Even Roman said, I wash my hands. This is an innocent man. Jesus wasn't guilty. They didn't kill him because he did something bad. He was made serpent. Yet God turned his back on him even though he was a fake sinner.  If your faith feels fake keep walking in it, keep looking at the cross and say this is where fake landed him therefore I can live feeling fake because then something happens with this fake. The wounds begin to close up. As they look to the serpent they were beginning to be healed. They were beginning to be delivered and those things that maybe you kept falling into they begin to be loosened up of your life and God begins to bring you deliverance and transformation. Righteousness. You know in Matthew chapter 5 it says blessed are those who are righteous. Righteousness, sense of righteousness carries a blessing. A blessing doesn't come from cars, houses and the particular neighborhood that you live in. Blessing doesn't come from the brand of clothes and the kind of friends you have. Blessing comes from carrying a sense I'm righteous. And not because it's been now three months that you haven't done that thing that you were hoping to break but it's because you have the gaze on Jesus who became sin so you are righteous. In Matthew chapter 6 verse 33 it says that seek first the kingdom of God and then it says this and his righteousness.  It's easy to do that.  Bible says in Isaiah that our righteousness in Isaiah 64 verse 4 it says human righteousness is filthy rags the word rags there is a word for a cloth a woman uses during her menstrual period. Bible says in Proverbs 28 verse 1 it says that the righteous man is as bold as a lion when you have righteousness you have courage when you have righteousness you have strength when you have righteousness your head is up you have boldness to cast out devils you have boldness to pray for the sick when you've done right if you remember the the weeks that you had things that you did right your prayer is even bolder you're like Lord I know it's been only three days that I read the Bible but I'm sure feel very confident today imagine standing on the righteousness that Jesus has accomplished and full of finding boldness that God looks at you as though you have all the accomplishments all the brownie points of Jesus you can pray with boldness you can live with boldness you can dream big dreams you can pray dangerous prayers you can step out of your comfort zone why because there's boldness that people look at you and say well is it because you fasted for so long oh yeah I do fast but I stand as a righteous man on the righteousness of Jesus I seek his righteousness and he blesses me oh it says though God looks at me and he recognizes Jesus so he go ahead and blesses Jesus not realizing that it's actually me the same way that he looked at me on the cross and saw me and punished Jesus now he looks at me and he sees Jesus and he says I'm gonna add blessing to you because you're wearing Jesus's righteousness you are bold because you're carrying Jesus's righteousness in Proverbs it says that a wicked man falls by calamity but a righteous man falls seven times and gets up that means that when I carry his righteousness I'm never protected from temptation but I am protected from living in a failure I am pulled up even if I fall I rise back up why because his righteousness pulls me back up his righteousness and Ephesians chapter 6 it says it's a breastplate if a human righteousness is just a bloody cloth his righteousness is a weapon his righteousness is bulletproof and why does God make his righteousness a breastplate because it protects the heart see your heart will judge you because your heart operates based on knowing only what you did but God's righteousness puts into account what he did and sometimes the Bible says in 1st John that our heart will judge us but God is greater than our heart that means when my heart judges me I have a breastplate that says heart sit at the feet of Jesus because there is more than what I did he did something on the cross he spilled his blood he became sin that I will become righteous don't listen to your heart my friend listen to God's word let God's righteousness cover your heart don't let take lose from your heart because your heart is not the best indicator of true information your heart only knows you it doesn't think about the cross but the breastplate it protects my heart it tells my heart God is bigger than you I know you made a mistake I know you don't measure up I know you were doing good until you realize your neighbor is doing better now you realize you're not doing good and the breastplate says cleans close to me and says it's not about you doing good it's about God becoming sin that you can become righteous the Bible says that God delivers righteous from all affliction when you are walking in who you are as a righteous person God will deliver you from all your affliction that doesn't mean you won't have affliction the affliction won't have you God has you no weapon formed against me shall prosper every tongue that rises against me I shall condemn the Bible says this is the heritage of the Lord and their righteousness is from God what does that mean that means I go to a courtroom of my consciousness and my consciousness executes judgment and say you messed up you're horrible you're not good enough and the enemy when he releases his voice he attaches his vice because all of the demonic weapons are voice activated and I get up in that court and I am shaken and shivering because the facts are against me but I remind myself I am the heritage of God I am his child I am his offspring and my righteousness is from God so devil it is true that I got bitten by a snake it is true I don't measure up it is true but that is not the truth the truth is Jesus became see that I become righteous somebody give God some praise if you know that you are righteous give God some praise lift your hands and say Jesus I thank you that I am righteous I silence every voice of the accuser right now I silence every voice of accusation right now every voice that says you are worthless every voice that says you'll never amount to anything because of what you done devil shut up I'm the heritage of God and my righteousness comes from him I don't get my righteousness from my right living I get my righteousness from a right standing Jesus became sin that I will become righteous standing Bible says that righteous will not be shaken will not be forsaken but the verse that I like the most about the promise when I look to Jesus for my righteousness is Romans chapter 5 and verse 17 and it says the following it says that for one by one man's sin death has entered into the world if by one man's offense death rained through the one much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one Jesus Christ Paul is saying if through one man death came through everyone thanks Adam he said through Jesus Christ if we receive the abundance of grace see some of us received to escape Egypt but we haven't received enough grace to live above the current circumstances that we have we received the amazing grace that helped us to run away from the grip of Pharaoh but today God wants to tell you he doesn't just great have grace for you to escape hell he has grace enough for you to reign in life this is New Testament when they were being persecuted when they were being attacked and thrown to the lions Apostle Paul is writing the grace we have enables us to reign in life that means that you can reign above the situation that you are in right now the situation that is walking all over you right now that family drama that is happening that is waiting you down maybe that and that situation with your finances right now that is honestly it's ruling you the Bible says that through the gift of righteousness you can reign over that you can rule over that you can rise above over that you can walk above over that there is a power in your voice because of that there is a power in your act in your declaration because of the righteousness of Jesus embrace grace my friend it's time to move from rags to righteousness Jesus as a lamb he took your sin as a serpent he became your sin if you don't feel righteous you don't have to feel righteous you have to believe righteous Jesus didn't feel a sinner on the cross he was not a sinner but he was one no matter how he felt Jacob didn't feel like Isaac excuse me like Isa when he came to his father and wore the his brother's clothing he didn't feel like him in fact he shook and was scared to death to come into his father's presence pretending to be someone else what worked to his advantage is his dad was blind what works to your advantage is your Heavenly Father chooses to ignore the fact that you're not Jesus but you wear Jesus's righteousness and because you wear his righteousness all the clothing carries certain scent the Bible says that Isaac he said I smell Isa I don't see him but I smell my Bible says we are fragrance of Christ when I put on the righteousness I walk into the presence of God I talk like Jacob I smell like Isa I can still talk like the old me and God says I smell Jesus in this room I'm gonna go ahead and bless him why I smell Jesus on him I smell the righteousness of Jesus I smell the perfection of Jesus on him and I'm gonna add things to him I'm gonna not let him be shaken I'm gonna make him bold as a lion I'm gonna let him rise up even if he falls why because I smell Jesus on him he wears the righteousness of Jesus have you put the righteousness of Jesus in the wardrobe of your doctrinal convictions you know a lot of us have garments we never wear we keep him in the closet for some other day this is the only garment you shouldn't keep in the closet how do you put it on by confessing and trusting how do you put it on by saying Jesus I thank you you became sin that I became righteous and at that moment you become conscious of it and living as though that's true come on every hand raised let's begin to thank the Lord right now so Lord I thank you for your righteousness Lord I thank you for your righteousness I thank you that you became sin that I will become righteous I thank you for amazing grace I thank you for abundant grace I thank you that you were the lamb in Egypt and you were my bronze serpent in the wilderness I thank you that I don't just glance at the cross I can gaze at the cross come on every Henry's every redeemed child of God whose sins have been washed who didn't have to pay for what they did because somebody else picked up the tab hands lifted high just begin to thank him right now every child that has been bitten by a snake every child of God that lives with guilt this is your moment to shake that thing off this is the moment to lose yourself from that and realize you don't have to perfect your faith on your own you fix your gaze on Jesus you already paid a price you already became that out of praise right now if you're righteous and you know make some noise you know some of you heard his testimony you know a long time ago but from the things that you know he did there's a lot of stuff that was following for a long time he had this dream you know to go to a particular school and have a particular job and had a lot of setbacks because of the stuff that happened in the past and I want you just gonna hear what happened so I bathe people in radiation and it's a two-year program and so I'm last stretch second quarter I broke my leg it set me back a whole quarter and I was on the verge of failure I was on the verge of getting kicked out three start next year three times through third time of success and so it felt like I was going nowhere and especially with the broken leg not knowing where I was heading and we're just scared of getting kicked out but somehow I just had that vision in my head to just keep on going keep on going keep on going and then they also presented us with job opportunities still being a student and I too saw myself in that position and it was like Joseph going from Potter first to prison it just kept on getting worse and worse and somehow you know perseverance knowing who you are knowing what the enemy says about you and then what God and people see you do and succeed and so and so a week and a half ago manager sat me down he's like here's the plan here's the opportunity we have a job do you want it and I was like you know the door open I'm gonna stick my foot in there so far in there that it's not gonna close on me again you know when the God delivered my brother from the things that he was in chain to and he missed a lot of time and then he was trying to go to this program I remember Jordan we were in the home group praying for his tests and he would fail and then things wouldn't work out something didn't work out and it was too late or something there was a few years already and time was ticking and then you know he finally got into that program and then when he's in that program he gets all of these accidents all of these things that pretty much should throw him out of that program you know and the enemy can come and the enemy always has a voice and with that voice he says things like you know you're not gonna make it look you've messed up too far just settle for just just give up just quit but I want to tell you something today God is not gonna bless you because you're good God's gonna bless you because you seek his righteousness because you have his righteousness and if he's gonna do it for Andre he's gonna do it for you whether it's in your health whether it's in your school whether it's in your family whether it's with children whether it's in your business I believe there is a good God he's on the throne and he says that I want to bless those who hunger and thirst for righteousness if you know that you are righteous today is your time to decree and declare today is your time to begin to believe and ask for the things not that you deserve but Jesus deserves today is your time not to walk like a mouse but to roll like a lion today is your time not to wallow up in the mud like a pig but rise up from that thing that you fell back into rise up from that thing that you're lying in right now hallelujah right now we're gonna take authority over every voice of the enemy that is using your past using your current situation to tell you that you're not gonna make it and you're not gonna you're not gonna mount you're not gonna break through this your life is over because of the righteousness of Jesus we're gonna silence that voice right now in Jesus name come on somebody you're watching us on live soon because of the righteousness of Jesus you have a roar right now and it's not even the volume of your voice it's the substance of your spirit it's the one devil hears it he is terrified because the righteous is roaring the righteous is speaking the righteous is declaring the righteous is shouting the righteous is stomping his foot the righteous is raising his hands the righteous is singing songs the righteous is prophesying to the tribals I want to say this witness say every voice that has risen against me voice of accusation voice of defeat voice of the enemy in the mighty name of Jesus I shut you up I silence their voice I silence their voice voice of depression be silenced voice of defeat voice of crying be silenced in the name of Jesus come on open up your lips right now begin to silence every voice of the enemy in your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ in Jesus name we come against every voice of the enemy we come against every voice of defeat every voice of low self esteem we come against every voice of depression right now we take authority over you in Jesus name we break you down we break you down we break you down we shut you up in Jesus name we reject your voice Satan we reject us your voice in my life in our lives in Jesus mighty name every voice of defeat and setback
