Hi everyone! How's it going? I am very excited because today I have a really special video for you. Today we're going to talk about daily routines. Now, if we're talking about daily routines, what verb tense would we be using? Hmm. Of course, it's the present simple, right? And we've practiced the present simple a lot. So we're going to continue to practice, but we're going to look at natural spoken English. So of course, this is the English that you hear outside of the classroom on TV, in movies, and everywhere else. This is the English that you need to know if you truly want to become fluent and you truly want to understand native English speakers. So what we're going to do is we're going to look at a very popular YouTuber, Stefan James, who runs the very successful YouTube channel Project Life Mastery. And Stefan has kindly offered his video that he made, looking at the daily routines of the world's most successful people. So we're going to look at clips of this video, and then I'm going to stop and explain the language that Stefan is using. So we're going to analyze his speech, look at his pronunciation, and look at his expressions, because they're very different than the expressions and the pronunciation that you're used to hearing in the classroom. So before we start, I want to say a huge thank you to Stefan. And in this video, we're only going to look at a small portion of Stefan's video. So in the comments, you can watch the full video that he posted, and you can continue to learn about these daily routines of the world's most successful people. So without further ado, let's jump right in and get started. So in this video, I'm going to share with you guys. So in this video, I'm going to share with you guys. What do you notice his first word is? So that word filler we've already talked about. So in this video, I'm gonna, what do we have here? I'm, of course, it's a contraction of I am good, repeat, I'm, I'm gonna. And what's this? A reduction of going to very good. I'm gonna, I'm gonna share with you guys. And here, of course, we have guys, which I taught you last video that it's gender neutral. So here, obviously, he's talking to an audience of both men and women, but he's still using guys to mean both. So in this video, I'm going to share with you guys. So in this video, I'm going to share with you guys some of the morning rituals of the most successful, the most famous people in the world today and throughout history. Some of the morning rituals of the most successful, the most famous people in the world today and throughout history. Now let's just look at this. Now in the video, he says this very quickly. And it's because we're reducing the words. So of commonly between two words of is reduced to summer. By here, I'm making this sound very quick as well. I'm saying some, some, and I'm connecting it with. So this sounds like together summer, summer, repeat, summer. And then I also say the as one, some of the, some of the, okay, repeat, some of the, very good. Some of the, some of the, some of the morning rituals of the most successful, the most famous people in the world today and throughout history. Here's the first person he talks about. And this is Tony Robbins. Now remember that we use the present simple to describe facts about individuals, their personal information. So here, his job is a life coach. So how would you put this in a sentence in the present simple? You could say Tony Robbins is the verb to be in the present simple is a life coach because we need that article before our professions. So repeat, Tony Robbins is a life coach. Very good. Okay. How could you put this information in a sentence? Again, you could say Tony Robbins is from California as a complete sentence. Repeat Tony Robbins is from California. Very good. And his age now put this in a complete sentence. Very good. Again, Tony Robbins is 57. Now notice of course we're using is because I'm referring to Tony Robbins in the third person singular, which is he. So I need he is for all of these sentences. Okay. Now let's find out about his daily routine.  He starts off every single morning doing now here. Where is the verb in the present simple? Very good. Starts. And of course we have this s because it's he. He starts. Now what does this mean? Starts off. Notice we have off. This is a phrasal verb to start off. So we need the verb and the preposition in order for it to make sense.  Very good. And this just means begin. So I could say he begins at that as he begins. This is in the infinitive.  And what do you notice with this verb? It's in an ing a continuous form. This is because of the sentence structure. He starts off every single morning doing. Okay.  So here the something is every single morning. That's the something by and then your verb in ing. Now here we have doing. Now notice, notice that in this sentence, there's no by. By should be right here. Now why is this? Is he being grammatically incorrect? Well, to be honest, yes, he is. But because by is such a small word, a preposition, English speakers often leave them out because we don't need them to understand the meaning. However, grammatically, we need to include this by. So I'll give you some examples. I always start off my meanings by introducing everyone. Okay. So what's the verb in the present simple? Start off. And of course, I don't have that s because the subject is I. Okay. What's an adverb in the sentence? Always is the adverb. Very good. I always start off something. The something is my meetings. That's the something.  Another example, I never start off my day by drinking coffee. Okay. So again, the verb in the present simple start off. What's the adverb here? Exactly. Never. I never start off. And what's the something in this sentence? Very good. My day is the something. I never start off my day by and then my verb in ing by drinking coffee. Okay. Very good.   Okay. Of course, you know who this is. President Barack Obama. Now let's find out some information about him. Job, of course, politician. Now put this in a complete sentence for me using the verb to be. Barack Obama is and then what do I need? Is a politician. Very good. And Barack Obama is from Hawaii. Excellent. And this one. Good. Barack Obama is 56. Very good. And he starts off working out 45 minutes first thing in the morning. He starts off working out 45 minutes first thing in the morning. Okay. Now again, he was the same expression starts off. But what are we missing here? Very good. I need by he starts off by working out. So notice he did it twice in a row. He's leaving it out. Okay. And then I have another phrasal verb to work out, which I taught you means to exercise, exercising. But of course we need that verb in the ING form because that's how this expression goes to start off by verb in ING by working out 45 minutes first thing in the morning. So here we have a time expression first thing. And this just means early in my day. So first thing in the morning. So let's say I woke up at six o'clock a.m. Well, maybe something I do first thing in the morning could be at six 30, for example, or maybe even seven o'clock. So it's just early in my day. It doesn't have to be literally the first thing I do. Okay. And we can say first thing in the afternoon or in the evening, it doesn't always have to be in the morning. So for example, I always take my dog for a walk first thing in the evening. So the evening, let's say the evening starts around five o'clock. Well, maybe I take my dog for a walk at six o'clock. So again, it doesn't have to be right at five o'one. It just means early in the evening. So in this expression here, where is the verb in the present simple? Good. Take my dog. Okay. And is there an adverb in this sentence? Yeah, always. I always take my dog. And he starts off working out 45 minutes first thing in the morning. And he starts off working out 45 minutes first thing in the morning. He also avoids coffee instead of and instead drinks water, orange juice or green tea. He also avoids coffee and instead drinks water, orange juice or green tea. So notice how he begins his sentence with which is just a word filler. And this is a word filler we want to avoid as much as possible. He also avoids. So what's the verb in the present simple? Very good. A voice. So this is a negative expression to mean to not want to do something. He also avoids coffee. Okay, but notice here that there's no verb. This is just a noun. He doesn't add a verb, which is fine. But if we wanted to add a verb, we need to use a verb in ING form. So for example, he always avoids drinking coffee. Now, sometimes in English, we have one verb and then the next verb is followed by ING. And really, it just depends on the verb that comes before. So avoid is one of those verbs that afterwards we need an ING. But notice avoid is still in the present simple. So I need this as he avoids. And what's the adverb? Always. Very good. He always avoids drinking coffee. But we don't need it. We can do this structure here. He also avoids coffee. And if I wanted, I could repeat a subject and say and he instead, but I don't need to like in this sentence, he instead. So instead is a word that we use to decide between options. So I have one option is coffee and the other option is water. Well, there's also orange juice or green tea. So I can give a sentence and say I drink tea instead of coffee. So notice here we have instead of but your sentence is in the present simple because this is talking about our daily routine. I drink tea instead of coffee. Okay, or I could say I'll have coffee instead. So we can use this as a standalone word at the end of a sentence. If someone offers you two choices, you can say someone might ask, would you like tea? And you can say, no, I'll have coffee instead. Okay, very good. He also avoids coffee instead of it and instead drinks water or shoes or green tea. He also avoids coffee instead of it and instead drinks water or shoes or green tea. Do you know who this is? This is Mark Zuckerberg. Now he is the founder of Facebook. So give this to me in a complete sentence. Good, Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook is I need to say the founder of Facebook. Very good. Can you give me a complete sentence here? Mark Zuckerberg is 30. Very good. And remember that we also use the present simple for our likes and dislikes because these are considered information about us. So I would put this in the present simple as well. So can you give me a complete sentence? Mark Zuckerberg likes with an S because it's he. He likes computers. So this right here is a complete sentence. He likes computers. Mark Zuckerberg likes computers. Very good. He always wears the same thing every morning. The same shirt. He always wears the same thing every morning. The same shirt. Okay, let's start at the beginning here. He always. Notice that there's a slight Y. We use this Y sound to connect two vowels. So I have a vowel here and a vowel here. So to make this a smooth sound, I can say he always, he always, he always, but it's so quick and so subtle that you don't notice it very much. But you can use this to connect vowels. He always. Repeat. He always, he always. And what is the verb in the present simple? Excellent. Wears. Good. He always wears the same thing every morning. The same shirt. Okay, now notice here we're using always, which means of course, every day. But do you think Mark Zuckerberg wears the exact same shirt every single day? Probably not. However, English speakers often use always, even if it's not seven days a week. So I can say I always wear sweaters in the winter. But really, it's more of a usually or often because always technically is seven days a week. Now, I don't wear sweaters every single day, but I'll commonly just say always, if I mean usually or often. He always wears the same thing every morning, the same shirt. He always wears the same thing every morning, the same shirt. Do you know who this is? His name is Howard Schultz. Okay, let's find out his job. Okay, can you put this in a complete sentence? Okay, good. So we need, of course, the verb to be Howard Schultz is now I need an article we say the CEO of. So remember with Mark Zuckerberg, it was the founder of Facebook. Here it's the CEO of Starbucks. Do you know what a CEO is? It's a chief executive officer. It's the highest position within a company. Okay, good. And can you put this in a complete sentence? You can say he is from New York City. And as a contraction, remember, I'm going to say he's, he's from New York City. Good. And of course, what does he like? Give this to me in a complete sentence. Very good. He likes coffee and probably he likes Starbucks coffee. Okay, let's find out his daily routine. As he says, I get up at 430 in the morning. I get up at 430 in the morning. Okay, so what do you notice here? First of all, get up. This is, of course, a phrasal verb with a verb and a preposition. Okay, and notice the sound.  I get up.  Now, why is this happening? Because in American English, when we have a T between two vowels, we turn it into a D. I get up. I get up. Repeat, I get up. Very good. I get up. And now we have an at with a specific time at 430 in the morning. There are many different ways to express time in English because we use a 12 hour clock. We have AM and PM 430 in the morning, which is also 430 AM, or we can just say 430. And same if it was PM, we could say seven o'clock PM, seven in the evening, seven at night, or just seven. So many different ways to express time. As it says, I get up at 430 in the morning. As it says, I get up at 430 in the morning, 430, and I walk my three dogs and I work out. I walk my three dogs and I work out. Okay, so where's the first verb here? I walk. Walk my three dogs. Now we can also say, take my three dogs for a walk. These are two different sentence structures, but they mean exactly the same thing. So one we're saying, I walk. The other is, I take. Okay, I walk my three dogs and I work out. But here he's not saying end. He's saying N. I walk my three dogs and I work out and I work out. This is a way to reduce this in natural spoken English and I work out. Good. And notice here, work out. But because of linking, I'm going to transfer this case sound onto this vowel and it's going to sound like I work out, count. I work out. Repeat. I work out. Very good. And I walk my three dogs and I work out. And I walk my three dogs and I work out.


Here are three people whose record on COVID-19 shouldn't be forgotten. Anthony Fauci tried to pretend that lockdowns were not his fault. But let's be clear, Fauci used his position as the top government health advisor in the country to advocate for prolonged closures.  Teachers Union leader Randy Weingarten was ideally placed to advocate for kids, and what they needed was to go back to school. Instead, she vigorously opposed President Trump's plan to reopen schools, calling it reckless, callous, and cruel. And if she had her way, kids would probably still be forced to wear masks. When Joe Biden was running for president, he said the COVID vaccine shouldn't be mandatory. A year later, once he was in the White House, he flip-flopped and ordered a vaccine mandate for 80 million workers to stop the spread. Then Biden declared, you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations. But although vaccines offer significant protection, that's not true. Vaccinated people get COVID all the time. It even happened to Biden himself.


You may wonder, does it matter where you have your mammogram? The simple answer is, yes, it does matter. The Breast Center at Hackensack University Medical Center is designated a breast center of excellence by the American College of Radiology.  We have designed a center specifically for breast imaging so that we can practice at the highest standards. We have state-of-the-art equipment, including multiple 3D tomosynthesis machines. 100% of our screening patients will receive a low-dose 3D mammogram. The advantages to 3D mammography are that fewer patients will be recalled for additional imaging, and we can detect smaller cancers. All our mammography technologists are certified in mammography and are experts in positioning. They work with the patient to obtain the best images possible with the least discomfort. In addition, our ultrasound technologists are certified in breast ultrasound. Our technologists spend their entire workday doing breast imaging studies and assisting the radiologists during procedures. The doctors who read your studies are radiologists who are all board-certified in radiology and have had an extra year of specialized training in breast imaging.  We believe in a team approach to your breast health. Our dedicated and compassionate nurses and nurse navigators help patients every step of the way. Should you need consultation with any of our specialists, including but not limited to breast surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, geneticists, or support groups, our multidisciplinary team is here to help. We know that no two women are alike. All our patients are treated with respect and dignity throughout their experience. Where you go makes a difference. Be your own advocate. It might save your life.

The results of this study suggest that pregnant women have limited knowledge about the benefits of anti-natal exercise. Additionally, most women did not believe that exercise would be beneficial during pregnancy. This suggests that more education is needed to increase awareness among pregnant women about the importance of physical activity during pregnancy.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Greg Andrews from Search Minerals. How are you today Greg? I'm great. Thank you, Tracy Greg, I could not be happier for search minerals shareholders Everyone following your story. You said you were going to achieve these milestones So let's start with the most recent one you signed an MOU Non-binding MOU for an off-take agreement with USA Rare Earth I understand what this means, but perhaps those out there an investor in tell land do not so let's talk about this first Sure. Yeah, signing the MOU with an off-take agreement is important for us as as what it does is that it sort of validates that you know When we get into production that we have sales at the end of the day The 500 tons per annum that we signed with US Rare Earth would represent about a third of the production that we anticipate from our Foxtrot and Deep Fox Deposits, so it's really important that we we continue down that supply chain For our funding partners that was that's important for them to see the credibility and validity of our project in that sense Well, not just the credibility, but the significance of this I know Jack Lifton did a piece about this recently about how this will make you both Really providing a supply chain for rare or Earth's in North America Do you agree with this and can you comment a little further on this, please? Yeah, absolutely Tracy. It was important is that that is our goal is to strengthen the North American Rare Earth supply chain, strengthen and create it And this is just one of the the stepping stones. US Rare Earth is doing a mind-to-market They bought the magnet facility from Hitachi So they have their facilities that they're working towards and then and when we look at our supply chain You know, we've gone from producing our concentrate We we've signed with Saskatchewan Research Council and US Rare Earth so looking at the separation for the oxides And now Tracy we want to the market's really pushing us to to to make the neodymium metal And that just pushes us further down the supply chain and having the off-take agreement Sort of starts to solidify that route for us Speaking of route, I actually think you called it the sprint to production or was it race to production? We we say sprint to production Tracy and and it really kick started in February when they uh, you know You know search has been in the headwinds for you know, in all rarest companies for the last five years But the tailwinds sort of started shifting in January, February, and we were able to raise Some funds both hard hard funds and flow through funds which allowed us to do our work programs Which were necessary for our sprint production when we want to do our sprint production that involves getting our pea updated which we expect that for January and February of 2022 The work that we've done with the funds that we raised we did 7 000 meters of drilling in our deep fox We we produced 6 000 assays that we've got all the results back. Dr. Randy Miller and his team Work tirelessly to get ours because we've put on tight deadlines for ourselves In amongst all that we still did our our fox metal and silver fox They're going to be drill ready for next year too. So a lot of things were accomplished in that short amount of time That that we're very proud of our team that was able to get that done And for those of you out there following rare earths or critical materials in general You may not appreciate where this sprint is actually Expected to be we have a timeline, right? We're looking at the end of january. Is that correct, right? Yeah, and I think uh, tracy, that's really going to reset Our business plan because our pea the only pa we have was from 2016 And so there's really five things that have really changed in significant way from 2016 to the one that we expect number one adding deep fox as a resource with fox trot will Be allowed to increase our production to 2 000 tons per day, which is great our Continued pilot plant work by david reisinger has been able to complete has increased the recoveries from 79 percent to 90 percent Our deep fox resource in itself had 15 percent higher grades Which is great. So all those elements Are contributing to you know our expected pea You know being quite robust when we release it and the other thing tracy that we're quite excited about is we believe that we'll be able to say That you know, not only will it be robust, but we'll be economic at today's prices as we know the prices have doubled So our 2016 pa said We're not economic, but our prices need to double for us to be economic And now those prices have come to our forecast, which is is great for us And while we always attempt to have short impactful interviews I have to ask you one more question because you touched on this already. You mentioned Dr. Miller right dr. Randy Miller dr. David Driesinger one of the things we've been discussing on investor intel Some of the news lately about another rare earth exploration product project that lots of money had been invested in Had to be withdrawn At for now because they just can't find the talent To get it done. So if you could just talk about your talent Some people may appreciate being reminded of what you have put together because you have been building this for some time And you have some of the most talented players in the rare earth processing Supply chain on your team already. Congratulations. Thanks, Tracy. Well, one of the things when we Entered this space was was You know to be that low cost capital cost producer little operating costs and we look at You know four pillars really defining the rare earth space Where by number one pillar is the resource and number two that you have to be able to process it Number three you need to be able to separate it and number four you need to have the offtake So when I look at my four pillars and I said I've talked to randy miller managing the resource That's a check mark with David Driesinger Managing the processing. That's a check mark separation. We're working with us for air since the scatch on research council So that's great and the recent mo you with us for air just helps complete our pillars that we're that we've been working towards Well, speaking of pillars that most people don't discuss As you have perhaps the friendliest group of shareholders I've ever seen in my entire life I think everybody that lives in newfoundland is a shareholder. Obviously, that's an overstatement But you have a group of friendly Loyal shareholders that have been cheering for you. Uh, would you agree that that Conclusion is correct. Oh, it is Tracy. And you know when I when I'm out there in, you know, I was out there Just recently visiting all the town councils On the street people know who search minerals are this is a project when when I talk to the town councils that just the the Their communication is great. This is a great project for southeast Labrador our workforce You'll have a workforce. Our families will come home. Our communities are shrinking You know, we really this this is a project that that the province is really taking notice of and the shareholders Have been have been loyal with us since they invested in since 2011 Waiting for waiting for us to complete our job and and with that we just constantly thank our shareholders Our indigenous partners and it took a bit community council provincial government federal government all those people that Have invested in us when the rare earth wasn't really capturing the investment dollars, but it captured their their dollars and imagination Well, for those of you new to search minerals search minerals is on the spritz production and the timeline is early 2022 Greg Andrews. Thank you so much for joining us today. Congratulations on your recent mo you offtake agreement with usa rare earth Thank you, tracy


Right, so hey guys and welcome back to another Python tutorial This video is being done on a request I've received recently So thank you very much for requesting this video and without further ado. Let's begin in this video I'm going to be showing you guys how to basically Compile any Python program that you create into a Windows executable file so in this way you'll be able to finally finish once you finish to your program you'll be able to compile it into an executable file and No longer require Python to run that file So to begin with what you want to do is make sure that you've got pip installed on your computer And it's added to the fabs. So the easiest way you can do this is by going to Google and If you haven't got Python already the down the install file just get it from the Website Python.org and then when it's already you're just gonna open it up The reason we're doing this is to find out whether we've got the PIP module installed and whether it's on system paths or not So what you want to do is click on modify and then you need to make sure that this has been ticked So PIP needs to be ticked and then you call it click next and then it should say add Python to environment variables So this needs to be ticked as well if it hasn't been ticked It's not a big problem. Make sure both of them are ticked so the PIP and this one and hit install I'm not gonna do this because I've already got it installed So you can now close this if you've already got it installed and what you want to do next is so I'm gonna create a test file. I have this folder called test new text file test Test.py and then inside I'm just gonna do a short program I'm just gonna say hello world and Then we do input so that the window doesn't close on us So just save this file and so what I'm gonna be doing with this file is changing it into an executable file So we don't need Python to open it first of all what you want to do is type in cmd and open command prompt And when you're done with that you want to type in the command PIP install pie installer pie install is basically a module that will allow you to convert any PY file into any exe So PIP will install that for you want to return this command hit enter and then as you see on my screen It says requirement already satisfied. This is because I've already installed it You should look a bit different and once the installation is successful You have pie installer installed So next you want to Browse to the directory using cmd. So I'm in my Z drive right now. So I'm going to do Z and then Call on and now I'll be in the Z drive.   I'm sorry about that Actually, it's an A drive. So I want to navigate to CD desktop Once I'm on my desktop, I'm going to navigate to my test folder. So CD test now We're in a test folder and then we have test of PY in there. So we want to do pie installer and Test.py Right. So when you hit enter the process to start and as you see right here in real time, you see some files being written to the directory and once it says Completely completed successfully. You should have your program ready. You might see some warnings during this process But you don't need to worry about them Your program is going to be in the disk folder and if you open the test again, you'll see your test.exe right here So as you see right here, you do not need Python no longer and it's an exe file You can just double-click on it and it's going to execute your program Another way of doing this is I haven't really tested it But we're going to test it in this video. So you could also do I'm just going to delete these files for now so that they're not overwritten and they don't cause any problems We could try another one. We do PY installer and then we do test.py again and Then we can do one file. Basically what this should do is keep it to one file instead of like scattering it all over the directory Give it a quick second and hopefully it should run.  So if you double-click on this file right now We have Hello World and that's the only independent file in there Anyway guys, that was it for today's tutorial. Hope this has helped you out.

Well, it's important to keep America free, to have our freedoms that we enjoy. Hi, I'm MC2's Andrew Gamble, and I've been in the Navy for seven years. I joined in 2004 after some college, and it's been a real honor serving the United States of America. In honor of Veterans Day, I have the pleasure of asking others what service means to them. This is basically about being part of something larger than yourself, about having the opportunity to wear the fluffier of your country and to serve other people in a very, very meaningful way. And I feel very proud that my father served on a destroyer. I think it's a very, very honorable thing to do it, if you want to do it. And the minute I got out of high school, I went down to the boot camp. I'm here to help my country as well as other countries whenever they're in need. I think the Navy is a good role model for the young people of today because it's high expectations.  It is all about helping the people throughout the world. Whether it's on a land or the sea or in the air, I mean, you guys are on the front lines doing what it takes to keep all the rest of us safe. I think a lot of people in the U.S. don't realize that or don't think of that often enough. I want to help students learn about the United States. I'm a U.S. history teacher. So, you know, and the things that I pass on to them are things that I learned from my father, values that my father passed on. I have a great role model and a mother and my grandfather as well. I think he definitely taught us to be strong and dependent and respectful of authority and he definitely passed on to me in school. So, I hope people are volunteering for it because we certainly need young people to go into service.


as well stick on the safari first shocks how you doing buddy made good progress on that mystery monster want to report to the ecological research team why got another voucher cool oh wow they came back with the highs i needed earlier interesting cool man so i'm eating dinner at the same time flyspots is living quarters bigger progress on that mystery monster want to report to the ecological research team this looks smaller progress on that mystery monster want to report to the ecological research team this is the upgraded one did i see a place to eat there i don't know i think so good grief living it up cats on the heart i know right so i killed his engine ass the troublemaker is going to make even more trouble if we don't get out there we're we're halfway done chap and that was just a few optional quests so we're gonna we're gonna knock that out today our great heroes haven't anything cameras off temporarily until i finish eating guys i'm just gonna check my uh my resource guys here i don't think i have any deliveries no all my bounties are still in progress am i enjoying the game i actually am yeah i am enjoying it i'd like to see about ammo see if i need to restock anywhere oh thunder ammo's new wait i didn't see let's go let's go do my equipment i forgot i need to uh have to talk to him fun's keeping you busy i got a new bow yesterday but i didn't even see if it could use different ammo i also am upgrading to the bone armor alpha i need quality bones to upgrade it and i think i got a few more okay so i got three quality bones i'm gonna round the core bones okay i don't need core bones anymore okay um so i just need to get four more quality bones for that oh i can do normal level three now and i can do paralysis sleep nice i can also do demon and drink now i can do that now i need some of that new ammo i can use that's what i'm doing i'm almost done eating guys normal three he didn't have normal three this is expensive so i'm gonna do like 20 excuse me what is this all right i'm done eating but now there we are so let's go update my load out i'm gonna need like that can i craft normal level three let me look register to load out so you need gunpowder level three to do that i guess i have to find that material okay um i think we're ready stick on some more she wants me to tickle pink but i don't know if i want to do that my engine that shouldn't be too bad right chat right chat session ideas in chat and the title as well hopefully it doesn't derp out today i am logged in right nope i am not wait what is he right here he's like right next to the base i don't have any voucher he's like right here because it's like soon as i logged in it was like spotted the engine now so he's a close he's a close bye he's the close and the bye tell you man dauntless people asking me about how i feel about dauntless do i still feel the same and i was saying that the pc version really hasn't changed at the pillion but now that i'm understanding more about this game i see the the the i forgot to play um i just see how much dauntless has how much work they got cut off for them what they got to do pick the wrong time to reload also let me uh put on my mantle wasting opportunity man it kind of worked i got his leg stop reloading oh my goodness i'm picking a absolute wrong time to reload good block good block cool cool cool cool engine that mucus this game mostly solo not really i've created my own online session so the viewers can join me um and just people can join whenever they can i could go search for an online session if i want and join others so it does promote co-op but the story is kind of segmented the way they designed it the story is kind of segmented so it's like a lot of stuff you have to do solo first and then and then you have to uh and then you can play with others i just felt like donson didn't have nearly as as in depth systems but i didn't place up so i could be wrong um you're right you didn't have to play to actually notice that it it's it's it's lightweight that's why people call it monster hunter light it is it's pretty lightweight all right let's go ahead and see if i can nail this come back here turn the key and the thing i put in my review the same thing wait i don't have any poison why do i poison that's not good yeah just dauntless needs more content that's the way i put in my review they just need a lot more content consistently coming in like warframe style and if they do that they'll succeed they don't even need to have as in-depth systems they just need to keep pumping out content and they're coming storm update they gotta do better than that um the fact that they split it out into multiple parts is kind of i didn't like that they did that these these paralyzed things aren't paralyzed oh that's shrink not paralyzed whoops my bad and it's a great solid game dauntless is a great solid you know free to play a game but like i said they you you tear through the first the first amount of content is really good you're gonna you're gonna burn through it you're gonna repeat it you're gonna get the gear and then you're gonna you know for some people may take two months some people may take one month you gotta have stuff constantly coming in otherwise people are gonna leave and they don't necessarily have to even leave to go into monster hunter it's just they're gonna run out of stuff to do and that's what the majority of dauntless players are saying we've run out of stuff to do we need more things to do and if you don't have as in-depth systems as monster hunter you know you just gotta keep piling on what you already do which is like i said it's not necessarily a bad thing oh i gotta get the dung out it's not necessarily a bad thing dung pod um it's not necessarily a bad thing it's just it's a different way of doing things they just got to pump out the content oh he got the dung too okay and i'm rooting for him man i really want them to succeed we need a free to play didn't we both dung pod him yeah he's got the poop like coming off he should be leaving by now they just got to do better than the comic storm the comic storm split out like that to me wasn't a good idea wasn't a good idea and they say that's what we asked for but i don't agree with that so well that's bad so much healing coming my way by the way the difficulty does ramp up when other people join so yeah keep that in mind paralysis ammo is it just me or paralysis ammo is bad is he paralyzed now is that his paralyzed face is that what it looks like to be paralyzed chat oh there he is this bigger goose bigger goose chat i think he left i think i overshot that actually no i did no i did i don't know i'm almost doing pretty good now having to operate a gun is really cool chat uh am i out i'm out okay bad timing bad timing ten jubelous remembers specific goose gotta find that clip i gotta find that clip when i first saw him appear sport i was like is this a goose he's just like carpet bomb does man this uh but i have figured out the secret to footprints and i am happy okay in the face in the other face block i blocked i blocked again well that thought stay right there don't move daddy's got a little surprise for you he moved well i hit part of his leg nope can't run that's wrong ammo in the butt in the face in the face in the butt face sleep wake dude i love the hbg i'm i'm loving this thing oh man mr bowls freaking bear off yeah solo hbg i i found that after i got shield it became a lot more bearable like a lot more bearable because i can block a lot of stuff and i can tank a lot of stuff because before i got that shield i was getting wrecked man i was getting destroyed that's blocked right there you just basically right click and you just block whatever he brings actually that makes that noise that you become a tanky character which to me is really good yay it's the most vague statement ever dbrn it's the most vague statement


It's a beautiful day you're out on your bicycle riding at your favorite velocity of five meters per second. When all of a sudden what's that 35 meters ahead of me? It's a mosquito and that mosquito is also moving towards me at a velocity of negative 15 meters per second. So the question is how far from your original starting position are you going to hit that mosquito? I've always loved this question because it allows us to solve a problem using a couple of different methods both of them you actually learned about back in science 10 and math 10c. The first method we're going to take a look at is a graph. Let's make a displacement versus time graph. In this graph I'll be at the pink dot moving forwards at five meters per second and the mosquito will be the blue dot moving backwards at negative 15 meters per second and the key to remember here is those velocities are going to be the same as the slope on the displacement time graph. So where should I start? I think I'll start off at the origin zero meters and zero seconds and I'll scale the y-axis in increments of five meters. The mosquito is going to start off 35 meters up on the y-axis and this is a key idea to the problem as well. If I start 35 meters away from the mosquito that gives the mosquito a wide intercept of 35. Now let's make a graph of my uniform motion. After one second I'll have moved five meters. That line that I just drew has a slope of five meters per second which is the same as my velocity. After two seconds I guess I'll move a total of 10 meters. So now I've got a line that represents my motion. What about the mosquito? Mosquito has a negative velocity. That means it moves down 15 meters in the first second and down another 15 meters in the second second. Now we have this interesting intersection point where the two lines cross is the position in time and space where I'm going to hit the mosquito. So it's about 1.75 seconds and I can tell from my graph it's eight ish meters. I can't exactly get that decimal place which is a little unsatisfying. I'd like to be able to know exactly how many meters from my starting position I hit the mosquito. So there's another method we could use if we're looking for a little bit more accuracy. Think of the equations of these two lines. I would have an equation of y equals 5x because my slope was five meters per second and I didn't have a wide intercept and the mosquito would have an equation of y equals negative 15x plus 35. These equations are in slope wide intercept form which you'll remember from back in math 10c. You'll also remember you did a whole unit on this idea called systems of equations. This concept that if you have two equations which are solved for the exact same variable you can make those two equations equal to each other, cancel out one of the variables and solve for the last one. So that's what we're going to do here. I've got negative 15x plus 35 equals 5x. I'll add 15x to both sides getting 35 equals 20x. I'll divide both sides by 20 to get the value of x as being 1.75. Once I round it to two significant digits that gives me a time of collision of 1.8 seconds. One of the other cool things about systems of equations is once you know the x variable getting the y variable is easy. We just substitute the x back into one of the original equations. Either one will give the same answer and in this case our y variable of 8.75 meters is how far I go before I hit the mosquito. 8.8 meters to two sig sticks. I hope this video helped.

In this video we're going to look at what an isomer is. Consider the molecule butane. The parent part of the name, but, tells you that there are four carbons and the suffix tells you that all the bonds are single, so we can draw the structure. And the formula is C4H10. However, there's another way of arranging four carbons and ten hydrogens. And it's this. In this molecule the formula is exactly the same. There are the same number and type of atoms, but the structure is different. It's T-shaped rather than a straight chain. It's a completely different molecule. So these two molecules are called isomers. They have the same number and type of atoms, but the atoms are bonded to give different structures. Let's now look at this collection of molecules and work out if any of them are isomers. So let's number them first. We'll call this one number one, two, three, four. And I'll start with number one. Now, first of all, how many carbons are there? So one, two, three, four, five. Six carbons in this molecule. And you have to imagine the hydrogen. So on this end carbon here, there are going to be one, two, three hydrogens. Four, five. This carbon here is only going to have one hydrogen because it's already got three bonds to carbon. That's six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. C6H14. And in fact, you could have worked that out just by looking at the molecule because you can see that there are no double bonds in it. And if they're all single, it must be an alkane. And you know the formula for an alkane. It doesn't matter whether the alkane is branched or not. The general formula, CNH2N plus two still holds. Okay, so that's C6H14. Let's look at the second one. One, two, three, four, five, six carbons. And again, you can see it's all single bonds. So it's an alkane. So it's going to be H14. It's a good exercise if you're not quite sure of this to draw it out fully as a Lewis structure or a structural formula to convince yourself there really are 14 hydrogens in this molecule. So that means that these two molecules here are isomers. They have the same number of carbons, the same number of hydrogens, but the atoms are arranged in a different way. Looking at the third molecule, let's count the carbons. One, two, three, four, five, six. So it is also C6H14. Is it an isomer? Now if you look carefully and compare it with number one, you can see that actually it's exactly the same as number one. I've just tilted it slightly. So you've got to watch out for this. The same molecule can be drawn in different orientations and it may look slightly different. But if you carefully examine which atoms are bonded to which and they're arranged in the same way, then it's the same molecule. Lastly, looking at number four, we count up the carbons. Two, three, four, five, six, seven. C7, it's an alkane. So the number of hydrogens is two times seven plus two, which is 16. It clearly can't be an isomer because it has a different number of carbons. So it's just a different molecule.


CHAPTER 12 I believe in the doctrine of Christ, and the articles of my belief are as follows. I believe that true happiness will only be possible when all men begin to follow Christ's doctrine. I believe that the fulfilment of this doctrine is easy, possible, and conducive to happiness. I believe that, even if it is left unfulfilled by all around me, if I have to stand alone among men, I cannot do otherwise than to follow it in order to save my own life from inevitable destruction. I believe that while I followed the teaching of the world, my life was a life of suffering, and that it is only by living according to the doctrine of Christ that I can attain the happiness that the Father of Life destined me to enjoy in this world. The law is given through Moses, but happiness and truth are given through Jesus Christ. John chapter 1, verse 17. The doctrine of Christ is happiness and truth. When I did not know the truth, I did not know true happiness. Thinking that evil was happiness, I fell into evil, and I doubted my right to long for happiness. Now I have understood and believed that the happiness for which I long is the will of the Father and is the lawful basis of my life. Christ says to me, Live for your happiness and for that of others, and do not believe in the snares, temptations, candelos that attract you by assemblance of happiness, while they in reality deprive you of it and entice you into evil. Your happiness is in your unity with all men. Do not deprive yourself of the happiness given to you. Christ has revealed to me that love toward all men is not only a duty that we must all strive after, but that in it lies true happiness, a happiness as natural to men as it is to children, as he says, and it is innate in all men until it is destroyed by deceit, error and temptation. Christ has not only revealed this to me, but has enumerated in his commandments all the temptations that draw me away from the state of unity, love and happiness, natural to man, and entice me into the snares of wickedness. The commandments of Christ show me how to escape the temptations that led me away from true happiness. Happiness was given to me and I have destroyed it. Christ's commandments reveal the snares that have destroyed my happiness, and therefore I cannot help endeavouring to avoid them. My creed is in this and in this alone. Christ has shown me that the first snare is enmity, anger. I believe this and can therefore no longer harbor a feeling of enmity against any man. I can no longer pride myself upon my anger as I used to do, nor justify it to myself by thinking myself great and clever and others insignificant and foolish. As soon as I remember that I am giving way to anger, I can no longer refuse to acknowledge myself in the wrong, nor can I help seeking to be reconciled to those who are at enmity with me. Nor is that all. If I know that my anger is unnatural and wicked, I likewise know the snare that led me into it. The snare was my standing aloof from others, acknowledging only a few as my equals, and all the rest of the world as insignificant, racas, or foolish and ignorant. You fall. I see now that these habits of holding myself aloof from others and considering them as fools, racas, were the chief causes of my enmity toward men. On recalling my past life to mind, I now see that I never once harboured a feeling of enmity toward those whom I considered my superiors, those whom I considered better and nobler than me, and that I never intentionally wounded their feelings—that, on the contrary, the most trifling circumstances sufficed to excite my anger against a man whom I considered my inferior, and the more I considered myself above him, the easier I found it to outrage him. But I know now that he who humbles himself before others, and who works for others, is the only one who stands above the rest. I understand now that what is highly esteemed by men is abomination in the sight of God. My woe is foretold to the rich and famous, and why beggars and those who are humble are the blessed. My understanding of this has changed my view of all that is good and noble, or bad and base in life. All that had formerly seemed good and noble in my eyes—things such as honour, glory, education, riches, all the refinements of life, elegant furniture, good food, fine clothes, etc., have grown worthless to me. All that had seemed bad and base, such things as obscurity, poverty, uncouth manners, simplicity of furniture, of food, of clothes, etc., have grown good and noble in my eyes. If, therefore, I now inadvertently give myself up to anger and wound another's feelings, I dare not, after a moment's serious reflection, yield to the temptation that deprives me of true happiness, union, and love, any more than a man can set a snare for himself in which he was once caught. I can no longer try to rise above other men, and to separate myself from them, nor can I allow either rank or title for others or myself, except the title of man. I can no longer seek fame or glory, nor can I help trying to get rid of my riches which separate me from my fellow creatures. I cannot help seeking in my way of life, in its surroundings, in my food, my clothes and my manners, to draw nearer to the majority of men, and to avoid all that separates me from them. Christ has shown me that the second snare that destroys my happiness is lasciviousness, sensuality. Knowing this, I can no longer acknowledge such passions to be natural, and I cannot justify them to myself. No sooner did I feel that I'm giving way to my passions than I know myself to be in an unhealthy, unnatural state of mind, and try by all possible means to escape this evil. And knowing the sin, I know too the snares that led me into it, and I can no longer yield to it. I know that the chief cause of temptation lies in the separation of men and women from those to whom they were once united. I know now that the forsaking of those to whom men and women have been once united is the divorce that Christ forbids, for it brings depravity into the world. On recalling my past life I see clearly that it was not only the unnatural education I had received that had led me into lasciviousness, by both physically and morally exciting my passions and justifying them by all the refinements of wit, but likewise by having forsaken the woman with whom I had first been united. I understood the full meaning of Christ's words, and saw that God had created man and woman in order that they might live in couples, and that what God had joined together should never be put asunder. I now see clearly that monogamy is the natural law of mankind, and must never be broken. I understand the words that he who divorces wife, that is the woman to whom he was first united, forces her to commit adultery, and brings new evil into the world. My belief in this has changed my former estimate of what is good and noble, or bad and base in life. The things that I had formerly prized, a refined, elegant life and a passionate and poetic love extolled by all poets and artists, has become wicked and hideous in my eyes. A hard-working, poor, simple life which masters human passions alone seems desirable. It is not our human institution of marriage that makes really lawful the union of man and woman. I consider as sacred and obligatory that union alone which once and forever binds a man to the first woman he loves. I can no longer give way to idleness, and an easy life, which always tends to excite inordinate desires, nor can I find pleasure in novel reading, poetry, music, or balls, which I had hitherto regarded not only as innocent, but even as refined occupations. I cannot forsake my wife, for I now know that my doing so is a snare for others, for her, and for myself. Neither can I cooperate in the separation of any husband and wife, whether their union has been associated with church rights or not. Every union between a man and a woman I consider to be sacred and binding to the end of their days. Christ has revealed to me that the third snare that destroys my happiness is the taking of an oath. I believe this, and I dare not take any oath, nor dare I allege for my justification that my doing so cannot harm any one, that all do so, that the state requires it of me, and that my refusing to do so will do no good either to others or myself. I know that this is an evil for all men and me, and I cannot do it. I know besides wherein the temptation lay which enticed me into this evil, and I dare not yield to it any more. I know that the snare lies in our sanctioning deception. Men swear to submit to the commands of other men, whereas man must submit to God alone. The most awful evils in the world by the consequences they entail, such as war, imprisonment, executions and torture, only exist through this snare by which all responsibility is taken off those who do evil. I now understand the meaning of the words, all that is more than a simple affirmation or negation, yes or no, is evil. Every promise is evil. Having understood this, I now see that the taking of an oath is against my own good, as well as the good of others, and the knowledge that it is so has altered my estimation of what is good and noble or bad and base. All that had seemed most good and noble to me before, obligatory allegiance to the government, the extortion of oaths from men, all the deeds conscience condemns that are mostly the result of a man's having taken an oath, seem bad and base to me now. Therefore I can no longer set aside the commandment of Christ which says swear not at all. I cannot now swear an oath, nor can I insist upon others doing so, nor can I encourage men to consider taking an oath as necessary or even harmless. Christ has revealed to me that the fourth snare is resisting evil by violence. I know that my doing so leads others and me into evil, and cannot therefore justify myself by saying that it is necessary for the protection of others, of my property, or of myself. No sooner do I remember this than I cannot help abstaining from violence of every kind. And I know likewise what the snare is. It is the erroneous idea that my welfare can be secured by defending my property and myself against others. I now know that the greater part of the evil men suffer from arises from this. Instead of working for others, each tries to work as little as possible and forcibly makes others work for him. And on recalling to mind all the evil done by others and myself, I see that it proceeded, for the most part, from our considering it possible to secure and better our conditions by violence. I now understand the meaning of the words, man is born not to be ministered to, but to minister to others. I now understand the saying, the labourer is worthy of his hire. I now believe that my happiness and that of all men will only be attained when each labours for others and not for himself, when none refuses to labour for him who is in need of help. My belief in this has altered my estimate of good and evil. All that I had formally prized, such things as riches, property, honour, and self-dignity, have grown worthless in my eyes. And all I had formally despised, such things as hard work, poverty, humility, the renunciation of property, and the renunciation of one's rights, have grown good and noble in my eyes. If I now feel tempted to defend others or myself, the property of others or my own, by violence, I can no longer give way to temptation. I dare not amass riches for myself. I dare not use violence of any kind against my fellow creatures, except perhaps against a child in order to save it from present harm. Nor can I now take part in any sort of authority, the purpose of which is to protect men's property by violence. I can neither be a judge, nor take part in judging and condemning. Christ has revealed to me that the fifth snare is the distinction we make between our own and foreign nations. If, therefore, a feeling of enmity arises in my heart against a foreigner, I cannot help acknowledging, after a few moments serious reflection, that the feeling is a wicked one, and I can no longer justify this feeling to myself by acknowledging the superiority of my own nation over others, or by the cruelty or barbarity of any other nation. I cannot help trying to be kinder and more friendly toward a foreigner than toward my own countrymen, rather than otherwise. And knowing that the distinction I formerly made between my own and other nations is evil, I see the snare that led me into this evil, and can no longer consciously let myself be drawn into it. It is the erroneous idea that my welfare is linked only with that of my native land, and not with that of all mankind. But I now know that my unity with other men cannot be destroyed by frontiers, barriers, the disposal of kingdoms, or by my belonging to some particular nation. I now know that men are equal everywhere, that all are brethren. On recalling to mind all the evil that I did myself and that I suffered from others in consequence of the enmity that so often exists between different nations, it is clear to me that the cause was the gross imposition called patriotism. I can remember perfectly well that the feeling of enmity toward other nations, the assumption that a difference existed between them and myself, was not a feeling natural to me, but was grafted upon me by the senseless education given to me. But I now understand the meaning of the words, love your enemies, do good to them. They are all the children of one father, therefore be like the father, that is, make no distinction between men, treat all as brethren. I now see clearly that I can only attain happiness by being in unity with all my fellow creatures. I believe in this, and this belief has completely altered my former estimate of what is good and noble, or bad and base. All that I formally prized as something worthy of respect, love for our native land, pride in our country, and our administration in military exploits, now seems not only pitiful, but also hideous to me. Cosmopolitanism, which I had formally despised, now seems a noble thing to me. I can no longer take any part in quarrels between various nations, either in speech or by writing. Neither can I take part in any of the various administrations based on the difference of nationality, whether in custom houses, in collecting taxes, in preparing ammunition or firearms, or in military service. Still less can I take part in war against other nations. And having understood what is conducive to happiness, I can no longer do what deprives me of it. I believe that I must live thus. I believe that it is only by living thus that I can find a rational purpose in life. I believe that my rational life is the light given to me, in order that it should shine before men, not in my words, but in my good deeds, that men may glorify their father. Matthew 5 verse 6 I believe that my life and my knowledge of the truth are the treasure that has been entrusted to me, that they are a fire that cannot be quenched. I believe that I am a Ninevite in relation to other Jonas from whom I have learned the truth, but that I am also Jonah in relation to other Ninevites, to whom it is my duty to reveal the truth. I believe that the only true purpose of my life is to live up to the light that is in me, not to conceal it, but to set it high before men that all should see it. And this belief gives me new strength to fulfil the doctrine of Christ, and destroys all the obstacles that had formally stood in my way. All that had undermined my belief in the truth of Christ's doctrine, and had made it seem impracticable, all that had set me against it, such as having to endure privation, suffering and death at the hands of those who do not know his doctrine, is just what now confirms its truth in my eyes and detracts me toward it.  And I feel myself irresistibly drawn to him. He said likewise, the truth will set you free, and I feel completely free. I had previously thought that enemies would come to make war, or wicked men would assault me. And if I did not defend myself, they would despoil me and all my family.  And this seemed horrible to me. But all that troubled me before has now turned to joy and confirmed the truth. I know that my enemies, the so-called wicked men of the world, robbers, etc., are men, and are the sons of men. That they, like me, bear love for goodness, and hatred of evil, innate in them. That they live as I do, on the eve of death. And, like me, can only be saved by fulfilling the doctrine of Christ. If the truth is unknown to them and they do evil, my knowing the truth makes it my duty to reveal it to those who do not know it. I cannot do so otherwise than by refusing to take any part in evil, and by confessing the truth by my deeds.  This is an error. If there were a society of Christians who did no evil to anybody, and who gave the surplus of their labour to others, no enemies, either Germans, Turks or Savages, would torture or kill them. They would take what these Christians, for whom there would exist no difference between Germans, Turks or Savages, would give up to them. If a Christian is called upon to take part in war, that is the moment for him to testify the truth to those who do not know it, nor can he testify it in any other way than indeed by refusing to go to war and doing good to all, whether they are enemies or not. But if the family of a Christian is assaulted, not by foreign enemies, but by wicked men in his own country, and if he does not defend himself, he and his family will be robbed, tortured and killed. This is an error again. If all the members of a family were Christians and gave up their lives to the service of others, not one man would despoil them or kill them. Mikluha Makli settled among the most brutal tribe of Savages, and was not murdered by them. They learned to love him and submitted to him, because he did not require anything of them, but did as much good to them as he could. If a Christian has to live amidst relations and friends who are not Christians, in the full sense of the word, who defend themselves and their property by violence, and who call upon him to take part in their violence, then is the time for him to fulfill the duty for which life was given to him. The knowledge of the truth is only given to a Christian in order that he should make it known to others, and especially to those he is more closely connected with, and to whom he is bound by ties of relationship or friendship. And the Christian can testify to the truth in no other way than by avoiding the errors into which others have fallen, and refusing to take part either in the violence of the aggressors or of those who resist them, by giving all up to others, and by showing that his only desire is to fulfill the will of God, and that he fears nothing as much as acting against it. But the country cannot allow a member to evade fulfilling the duties incumbent on every citizen. The administration of the country requires each man to take his oath of allegiance, to take part in judging and condemning. Each man is obliged to enter the military service, and if he refuses he will be exposed to punishment, exile, imprisonment, or even death. And here again the Christian is called upon to fulfill his duty to God. The Christian knows that all these things are required of him by men who do not know the truth, and therefore he who does know it must testify to those who do not. The violence, imprisonment, perhaps even death, to which the Christian will then be exposed in consequence of his refusal, will enable him to testify to the truth, not in words but in deeds. Every act of violence, pillage, execution, and war is the result not of the irrational force of nature, but of man's ignorance of the truth. And therefore the greater the evil these men do, the further they are from the truth, the more desperate is their state, and the more necessary it is that they should be taught the truth. And a Christian can only transmit the knowledge of the truth to others by keeping away from the error they are in, and by returning good for evil. The whole duty of a Christian, the whole purpose of his life, which cannot be destroyed by death, lies in this. Men linked together by deception form, we might say, a compact body. In the compactness of this body lies all the evil of the world. Revolutions are only efforts to break this compact body by violence, but its component parts will last until an inward power is communicated to them that can force them asunder. The chain that fetters them is falsehood, deception. The power that sets each link of this human chain free is truth. The truth is transmitted to men by deeds. Deeds, which bring the light to each man's heart, can alone destroy the chain and remove one man from another out of the compact mass fettered by falsehood. And this has gone on for 1800 years. The work began when the commandments of Christ were first placed before the world, and it will not end until all is fulfilled, as Christ says. Matthew 5 verse 18. The church whose members tried to unite men by persuading them that it was necessary for salvation to blindly believe that the truth was in her is no more. But the church whose followers are not united by promises of reward but by good deeds lives and will live forever. That church does not consist of men who cry Lord, Lord, and live in sin, but of men who hear his words and follow his commandments. Those who belong to that church know that their lives will be blessed if they do not break the unity of the Son of Man, and that their happiness can only be destroyed by their leaving the commandments of Christ unfulfilled. And therefore they follow them and teach others to do the same. It does not matter if these men are few in number or many. They are that church which shall not be overcome and which all men will join sooner or later. Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
