Good evening everybody. Yes, I was a student here way back in the 80s and Later tonight, maybe I can share with you stories about young Dave Pavanca Who was a junior when I first came here? And a wonderful man of God and a friend even then. Well, it's such a joy to be with all of you It's a joy even more so because we were not able to gather last year, amen Isn't it good to be together in the flesh as people of flesh I? Had so many conferences and meetings moved online or cancelled all together last year And I can't tell you how many times the scripture verse came to me from second John the second letter of John where he says I have much to say to you, but I would rather not use pen and ink or zoom Or Facebook or YouTube you remember that line in the The letters of the New Testament, right Well praise God that he's brought us here together And then this group is especially wonderful because you're people who are hungry for the word of God You're people who love the word of God And I get to share that passion with you.  Oh Lord To the promised land you have for us Lord we pray that you would open our hearts tonight each one of us to the specific revelation that you have for us from that desert generation our Ancestors in the faith Lord that you would give us specific wisdom Guidance for our own desert journey Lord so that we will not only Reach the goal of that journey, but that we will also help lead others on the way We ask this through Christ our Lord Amen the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen Thank you, I want to take my starting point from one Corinthians chapter 10 Where St. Paul recalls that desert generation and he's reminding these new Christians in Corinth of the events of the Exodus That they no doubt knew about most of them were not Jews But no no doubt from Paul and others they had begun to read and learn the Old Testament And they knew about the crossing of the Red Sea and the pilgrimage in the desert for 40 years The cloud of God's presence and the manna and the water from the rock and all the amazing things So Paul brings that up And he says the point is don't be like them Don't be like that generation Don't desire evil the way they did don't be idolaters like they do don't indulge in sexual immorality like they did Do not put Christ to the test like they did do not grumble like they did Wow Lot of lot of things to unlearn from that generation. He says then in one Corinthians 10 verse 11 Now these things happen to them as an example But they were written down For our instruction on Whom the end of the ages has come They happen to them as an example The Greek word is from the word type boss, which is where we get type meaning a figure a prefigurement an event in history is History of salvation that in a mysterious way Points forward to and signifies The greater things that are to come So Paul is telling them these new Christians who are still kind of taking baby steps in the Christian life That would happen to that original generation of Israel That generation that spent the 40 years in the desert with God at the beginning of their history of that as a nation Was written down For our sake Who live in the end times? Who live in the very last times as we're awaiting the very last day? Ever since the ascension of Christ We're in the last times and awaiting the last day and it's for us That these things were written down How wonderful that we're spending three days at this conference Talking about those things that were written down for our sake that Exodus generation Was the generation really at the beginning of Israel's history as God's people They already existed from the time of Abraham But it was really the exit of Exodus event that made them Into the nation in covenant with the Lord God It's where they discovered who God is when he did the mighty act of rescue Delivering them from slavery. It's where they sealed the covenant with him on Mount Sinai and the 40 years following that in the desert Was their formative time For God to teach them his ways In their infancy as a nation and so that time in a particular way lays down Principles that are valid for the entire rest of the history of God's people old covenant and new covenant in other words All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten The Exodus was the kindergarten for God's people the 40 years were the kindergarten for God's people now It's it's curious that before kindergarten God had his chosen people spend their toddler years in Egypt Their toddler years as a nation so God had them according to his perfect plan spend centuries in a nation known for its idolatry a powerful empire of Such wealth and advanced learning and technology that literally scholars are still trying to figure out how they built the pyramids and some of the other great works of the ancient Egyptians and And yet It was also a culture that had sunk to such a low level of idolatry that they worshipped creeping things like beetles and snakes a Nation that enslaved God's people and wanted to keep them in bondage so God Deliberately had his people spend their toddler years there And then he brought them out And they had their kindergarten time with the Lord their time in the wilderness for God to test them and and teach them his ways Isn't it curious to That Jesus the son of God incarnate Also spent his toddler years in Egypt The Lord had his own beloved son Live in that nation known for its idolatry known for enslaving God's people and wanting to keep them in slavery When the prophet Hosea says out of Egypt, I called my son God is saying through Hosea Hosea is talking about Israel God called his son Israel out of Egypt But then Matthew in his gospel Takes up that scripture and says this is a type of foreshadowing of Jesus out of Egypt. I called my son the whole history of Israel is Relived in Jesus the son of God so Egypt that wicked nation of idolatry in the ancient world Represents the world and still today Egypt stands for the world Wealthy powerful very advanced in technology and science But worshiping creepy things like for instance total sexual self-indulgence and total self-indulgence in the grab for power and prestige and possessions and position and Still to this day Wanting to keep God's people in bondage we too Spent our toddler years so to speak in Egypt. We start out our life before we are in Christ in the world and Then through baptism God has brought us out of Egypt and Now our whole life on earth is our kindergarten time with the Lord For him to teach us the the basic Lessons of who he is Who we are in him how he wants to act in our lives so that when we finally get To the promised land the real promised land of which the the lush Abundant luxurious land of Canaan was only a pale Shadow when we get to the promised land of the kingdom. We'll be ready Because of our kindergarten time in the desert so we have a lot to learn from that generation. I think especially now Because if we've all lived in desert times for at various seasons of our life The past year and a half has been a desert time For the entire world But in a particular way for God's people Throughout the world. This has been a time of Deprivation a time of dryness a time of hardship a Time of being stripped of the usual comforts a Time of having to depend on God more radically So I think it's a particularly good time to study again What was written down for our sake for our instruction about that original generation? So as I prayed about it The Lord highlighted three lessons from the desert generation that I want to share with you and They're roughly from the beginning the middle and the end of their desert journey So I'm going to tell you what they are as I go along the first lesson that the Lord highlighted for me is The Lord will fight for you The Lord will fight for you Okay, now here's the context When the Israelites were in Egypt They did not yet know the Lord personally When they were enslaved exodus tells us they groaned and cried out for help and their cry came up to God If you read that carefully it doesn't say they cried out to God It says they cried out for help and Their cry came up to God They didn't even know who to pray to They didn't know who to talk to it was the groaning of human beings under deep Oppression and darkness and brothers and sisters that cry is going up to heaven now From so many around us who are still in Egypt and don't know the Lord They didn't know his name even Moses didn't know his name They had forgotten the history of the patriarchs But then God sent them Moses He began to go talk to Pharaoh then God sent the plagues on Egypt the Israelites got to witness God judging the gods of Egypt and Then they're at a different stage No longer Once they have seen God act Can they say they are ignorant of God? God has revealed his name to Moses at the burning bush. I Am who am and Now they've seen him do signs and wonders just as he had said he would do He's visited the plagues on Egypt the whole point of the plagues on Egypt was revelation of God Throughout the whole sequence of plagues again and again. It says I'm doing this that you may know That there is no one like the Lord our God that you may know I am the Lord that you may know there is none like me in all the earth Now they've experienced God's mighty deeds They have a greater responsibility to trust him Experiencing God's action actions in our life brings a greater accountability To trust him because now we know him by name So in chapter 14 of Exodus They've now just celebrated the Passover for the first time They've put the blood of the Passover lamb on their doorposts and their lintels the angel of death has gone through Egypt Putting to death the firstborn of Egypt and sparing the Israelites and they have fled But then you know the story Pharaoh changes his mind right He comes after them he pursues them to the Red Sea and they get to a place called pihahiroth Pihahiroth it means mouth of the gorges and they're trapped To their right and their left are steep rocky impassable gorges Behind them is the most powerful army in the known world in front of them is the Red Sea and This is where this lesson is about to come So they're trapped there at pihahiroth Has anybody felt at some point in the last year and a half that you were in pihahiroth? Between a huge army and the Red Sea no way out gorges Steep craggy gorges on both sides. No way out anybody. I know I have Okay, this is where it says they said to Moses Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us and bringing us out of Egypt? Don't you love the sarcasm? What large architectural structures is Egypt known for? Pyramids what are they? graves Is it because there are no graves in Egypt you let us out here? They're terrified and they go on and they say Is not this what we said to you in Egypt? Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness Funny how memory works If you've read Exodus chapters 1 through 12 Do you remember the part that says where the people said Moses leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? We love making bricks in the hot sun all day, especially when we have to collect the straw ourselves We love having our baby boys thrown into the Nile to die. Just leave us alone Moses Of course, they never said that But all of a sudden When faced with possible death Egypt looks so good. I'd rather be enslaved Then have to trust God I'd rather go back to the world and The ideas of the world and the thoughts of the world Then have to trust God Brothers and sisters don't we have that tendency deep within us Have we not seen that tendency Manifested in a powerful way throughout the pandemic in the last year and a half There has been a pandemic of fear That has been enslaving the world seeking to enslave the human race and coerce people by fear into yielding themselves to greater and greater slavery because People resist having to trust God They would rather be enslaved to governments and government policies and Ideologies and false narratives Then to trust God Now I'm not talking about proper precautions Appropriate safety and things like that, but I'm talking about a level of fear That is stirred up by the enemy that goes way beyond Anything legitimate especially for those who have seen the Lord do mighty deeds and rescue us from slavery and so We have to listen to this lesson that Moses now gives to the people He said to the people fear not stand firm and See the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again the Lord will fight for you and You have only to be still Here is God's great first lesson on the battles his people will face From this point on through the rest of salvation history the Lord will fight for you How about if everybody just takes two seconds and think of a battle you're facing in your life Maybe it's in your family situation Maybe it's in your health. Maybe it's in your finances. Maybe it's in your work Relationships just think of a battle you're facing and the Lord is saying to you I Will fight for you Do you trust me? And could everybody turn to a person on your right and your left and tell them the Lord will fight for you Okay, say it one more time like it mean it Amen, amen Well after saying that Moses stretches out his hand over the sea the sea divides into Israel passes through the Red Sea on dry land The waters come back upon the Egyptian army pursuing them and they're drowned in the depths of the sea God does it by a blowing of wind Ruach Do you know that Hebrew word Ruach? It means wind, but it also means spirit God's spirit wind blows over the deep divides it into That which had trapped them it just it's gone It's moved out of the way in it totally unexpected way I mean they probably were as likely to think they were gonna have a helicopter rescue in 2000 BC as the waters parting and Forming dry land Now a wind blowing over the deep a dividing of sea to form dry land does that remind you of anything else in the Pentateuch? Creation there's a new creation going on here God is recreating his people the Exodus is a new creation and the very thing that the Israelites were most terrified of the sea the place of of chaos and and danger and shipwreck Has suddenly miraculously become the very way to life The very way that God brings them out of the trap they were in Life right through death passing through death into life isn't that what baptism is and Isn't that what God still does for us?  There's no formula. There's no substitute For hearing his voice His personal voice, but he wants to tell each one of us in each battle that we face Either be still The Lord will fight this one for you Or go fight The Lord will fight this one for you so Moses goes up to the top of a hill With the staff of god he raises his hand and whenever moses held up his hand Israel prevailed and when he lowered his hand amalek prevailed But moses his hands grew weary so they took a stone and put it under him He sat on it Aaron and her held up his hands one on one side and the other on the other side So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun and joshua mowed down amalek and his people with his sword Two hands raised in the air. What does that look like? Well for one thing it looks like praise of god, right? Praise of god. What was moses doing with his arms in the air? Praising god for the victory that was not yet won, but he trusted that god would win One other thing hands raised like this looks like Looks like a figure of jesus on the cross doesn't it? moses a type of jesus It says in psalm 63. I will bless you as long as I live In your name. I will lift up my hands lifting up our hands physically Is a bodily gesture that gives god glory I encourage you to do that for whatever times of worship where we have left in this conference to Raise your hands like moses because there is a way that when we do that We are signaling to the demonic realms and the forces that are arrayed Against god and against his people We are signaling to them that the lord fights this battle and that the victory belongs to jesus christ Who has already won the battle on the cross and that we're not going to just give in to the enemy and his tactics And we're not going to fall down in fear Because he's won He's won so we stand with moses On that hill and with jesus on calvary and with god's people through the ages who have praised him for his victories Israel learned this lesson. They really did learn it Centuries later in the time of king jahosaphat Israel's enemy the moabites formed an alliance with two other nations to attack the people of juda This huge army of three allied enemy nations camps against them. They're terrified So king jahosaphat sends out the army to defend juda And guess who he puts in the lead archers the artillery The singers The singers What kind of a war you know military leaders that He puts the singers in front and their job was to sing and praise the lord as they went before the army Give thanks to the lord for his mercy and durse forever Sure enough the levites go in the front praising the lord And what do you know at the it says in two chronicles 20 verse 22 At the moment they began their jubilant hymn The lord laid an ambush Against the ammonites moabites and those of mount seer who were coming against juda So that they were vanquished for the ammonites and the moabites set upon the inhabitants of mount seer And completely exterminated them and when they had finished with them they began to destroy each other When juda came to the watchtower of the desert and looked toward the throng They saw only corpses fallen on the ground with no survivors So brothers and sisters if we have this powerful anti-gospel ideology coming at us from this side and this evil Anti-gospel ideology coming at us from the other side and this one coming from another side Who do we want to put in front? of the army of god The singers the the those who praise and worship that's all of us And the angels with us and the saints with us praising and thanking god And knowing that the lord is the one who fights our battles So in other words, when is the right time to praise god? You got it You mean when things are going fine, right? You mean when? You know, we've had a victory in the battle when we've we've had uh Things go our way, right? No Always, but especially when the battle it really heats up and it's intense That's when it is most the time To praise and thank the lord. It says in hebrus 13 15 Through him through jesus. Let us continually Offer a sacrifice of praise to god continually Our praise in times of desert in times of battle is especially Fragrant and pleasing to god. It's especially Precious to him. It's like pressed oil When we are in times of struggle when everything's going great and we feel good and everything is going swimmingly It's still good to praise the lord, but it is especially precious in the difficult times because it's an act Of radical trust To praise god is to say i don't know how in the world i'm gonna get out of this or you're gonna get me out of this lord But you're worthy of my praise and i know that you will get me out of it And i know that the victory is yours And the the amazing thing i've seen in my own life again and again When we do that When we praise god in the most difficult circumstances It releases God's power in the situation It releases god's power when we praise him it in a mysterious way He chooses to act when we are in the right Disposition opening ourselves to allow him to act by making that act of trust in praising him And believing that he's going to fight the battles for us So that's the first lesson. It's in certain ways. I think it's the most important The second lesson that the lord teaches his people of the desert generation Shows us kind of the opposite of what praising god looks like It's called murmuring It's the murmuring generation. You know what murmuring is right? Me me me me The Hebrew word could be translated gripe groan grumble complain Or me me me me me me This is what the wilderness generation became known for The generation that saw the greatest miracles in the history of the world up to that point Became known as the murmuring generation The grumbling generation When they got thirsty they murmured when they got hungry They murmured when they got tired of all the manna that god was feeding them miraculously they murmured In numbers 11 verse 5 it says The people said we remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing The cucumbers the melons the leeks the onions and the garlic But now there's nothing at all but this manna to look at Cost nothing that fish in Egypt they cost nothing like the manna the miraculous bread from heaven is so expensive The free daily nutritious meal god is giving them That cost them nothing and and here they are again Wanting to go back to Egypt It takes a long time to get it takes longer to get egypt out of israel than to get israel out of egypt, right? True for us as well well centuries later The psalms recall that wilderness generation and warned against their example especially in psalm 95 It's a well-known psalm because st. Benedict Made it the first psalm of the day that his monks would pray day after day after day And it is now the opening psalm for morning prayer for all priests religious and many lay people throughout the world today If you hear his voice Harden not your hearts as at maraba meaning rebellion As on the day at masa meaning testing In the wilderness when your father's tested me and put me to the proof though they had seen my work So the psalm is telling us That to murmur which that generation did Is actually to harden your heart against god To complain Is actually an act of hardening your heart against god It's actually saying My problem is bigger than god It's actually an act of unbelief When we murmur A classic example of murmuring for that generation was A little over a year after they had left egypt They had had the covenant with god at mount synei that spent almost a year at mount synei And then shortly after that they arrive at the very border of the promised land in kadesh And god tells them to send scouts to spy out the land. You know this story, right? How how many days do they send out the scouts? 40 days a time of testing Now why didn't god just bring them right into the land?  Because so often When god wants to bring his people into greater blessing He first tests them He brings them to a point of decision Will you trust me?  Knowing that you won't Quickly turn away from me In idolatry because you will have been matured By your having been tested by faith that has been proven And tested and strengthened So that's why god did it so the scouts go into the land They cut down a cluster of grapes so huge they have to carry it on a pole They return and they report Yes, god was right. It's a land flowing with milk and honey. It's amazing Only god forgot to tell you that the people who inhabit it are like giants and we look like grasshoppers next to them We're outnumbered out fortified out gunned and there's no way we're going to be able to conquer these people murmuring A direct contradiction To what god had promised them Going all the way back to abraham that he would give them this land Well two of the spies thankfully Gave a different report Than those scouts the the other ten True it is flowing with milk and honey The the inhabitants are giants and we do look like grasshoppers next to them But one thing the other scouts forgot to tell you is that god is with us And god Plus one person is a majority And if god promised this land he will enable us to occupy it So after that rousing speech by joshua and calib. What do the people do? Rally to the cause They panic Would that we had died in the land of egypt Or would that we had died in this wilderness? Why does the lord bring us into this land to fall by the sword? Clearly the god who who sent all the plagues upon egypt and part of the red sea And sent us water from the rock and manna from heaven is clearly not able to conquer the canaanites A total rejection Of god's plan of salvation for them right within sight of the goal Within sight of the goal They get cold feet And they want to turn back to egypt God says to them How long will this people despise me and how long will they not believe in me in spite of all the signs I have wrought among them They've put me to the test Ten times Ten is a hebrew number of completeness The fullness Of what god gives us and what he wants from us God sent upon egypt ten plagues The people respond to the ten miracles Freeing them from their enemies And then ten Commandments at mount sinai Teaching them how to live in relationship with god how to walk in god's ways With precisely ten acts of rebellion And unbelief and disobedience Unbelief and disobedience are really two sides of the same coin Faith is not faith without obedience If when we don't obey it's because we don't have faith Well, we don't have faith We don't obey Now god says then I will forgive them after moses pleads for them But there is a consequence your prayers are answered Be careful what you pray for you prayed that we want to go back to egypt Okay So be it Would that we had died in this wilderness so be it None of you will see the land That I swore to give your fathers You're going to wander in this desert until you've all dropped dead And i'll bring your children in Well then all of a sudden they change their tune Oh well, you know, come to think of it we can conquer the canaanites Because god is with us But after god has already decreed his sentence upon them now it's presumption Now it's not faith now it's presumptuousness And what happens they're routed by the canaanites Psalm 95 is reflecting on all this Today if you hear his voice Hard and not your hearts The tragedy at kadesh Is that the lord wanted to bring that original generation into the land He wanted them to enjoy what they had heard about The land flowing with milk and honey But they missed out on it Because they murmured and they hardened their hearts When the lord tests us It's because he wants to give us an upgrade He wants to bring us into a greater blessing He may want to bring us into a greater level of responsibility in his plan in his kingdom He wants to bring us into a a greater level of intimacy with him And if we murmur We can miss out If we murmur instead of praise him There was a time a few months ago where the lord really convicted me of this I suddenly as I was praying I realized that I had Dropped into an attitude of complaining about the whole pandemic situation The mask mandate the social distancing all this stuff, you know that we all suffered from But I had dropped into a mode of complaining about it And not praising the lord in the midst of it and even for it And the lord convicted me that that is a sin against him because it's actually an an act of unbelief When I complain it's saying the problem is bigger than god And so I I repent and I said lord I'm so sorry for having that Attitude of complaint and I know that whether I speak it out loud or not it affects the people around me And it it lowers the spiritual atmosphere And so I I was really freed from that I I had a new joy in my heart after I I had made that repentance the letter to the Hebrews Centuries after psalm 95 Also reflects on this same generation and their same unbelief that they showed In Hebrews 3 12 it says Take care brethren Lest there be in any of you an evil unbelieving heart Leading you to fall away from the living god But exhort one another every day As long as it is called today That none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin For we share in Christ if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end Hebrews was speaking to a generation of Jewish believers in Jesus Who under the pressure of persecution And probably seeing the Roman destruction of the temple looming in the near future We're tempted to fall back away from Jesus Away from All that they had been given in him through faith and baptism back into the ways of the world And so he's exhorting them Don't let there be an unbelieving heart in you leading you to fall away, but also exhort one another every day Brothers and sisters We need to do that We need to be like iron sharpening the iron of the faith of the people around us We need to exhort those who have over the past year and a half Fallen away from their first love Fallen away from Christ from the church As it has become more inconvenient more difficult Not only to literally get to church But even more To be a absolutely believing faithful Christian in the public square today As as as the culture is telling us with more and more insistence Burn incense to Caesar Bow down before the ideologies of the world How many Are giving into that pressure and walking away And so we have to exhort one another every day as long as it is called today And help one another to get all the way through that time that we have whatever time is left to us in the desert of this life To make it all the way into the land We we want All of those around us to come with us. It's not just about you know I'm here to get to heaven one day. I'm here to get as many other people to heaven with me as I can I'm here to make to bring as many people into the land infinitely more glorious than Canaan as possible So we have to exhort one another and and Let go of repent for any attitude of complaining which actually hardens our heart against god and actually blocks us From the blessing and the upgrade that he has for us Okay, the third lesson I want to do this more quickly The third lesson of the desert generation comes at the very end of their time in the desert When they are about to enter the land once again After Kadesh they had 39 more years wandering around And finally the next generation is ready to enter the land and moses gives his last will and testament His sermon his his farewell address to the people of israel Before he dies he himself will not see the land But he gives them this farewell address. It's the entire book of deuteronomy I guess he wasn't known for back then they didn't have the 11 minute homily rule The very heart of that book is the great shema Deuteronomy 4 6 hero israel The lord our god is one lord And you shall love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength I love that last word with all your strength literally in hebrew. It's muchness That's the only way to translate it literally With all that you are your muchness exceedingly It's like four exclamation points love god with everything that you are. How can god demand that kind of absolute fidelity and love Because that's how he loves us with his muchness with everything he is with his whole heart and soul And so moses gives that command and then he goes on And these words that I command you this day shall be upon your heart And you shall teach them diligently to your children And talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise Your covenant love relationship with the lord Must be passed on to the next generation Very intentionally It will not happen automatically The next generation must be very intentionally with Great perseverance brought into that covenant love relationship with the lord And he goes on you shall you shall bind these commandments as a sign upon your hand To mark what you do and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes To mark what you think and you shall write them on the doorposts of your house To mark your families coming and going And they shall be on the gates on your gates Meaning in everything you do in the public sphere in public life Let it be marked by your love for the lord Israel took that commandment to heart And the Passover liturgy every time they celebrated it and still celebrate it Today is like a catechesis for their children and the youngest child Asks why is this night different from all the other nights and the father then says let me tell you About how good god is let me tell you about what god did for me When he brought me out of egypt 500 years later Let me tell you what god did for me when he brought me out of egypt Every one of us needs to be able to say to our children and our god children and our grandchildren and our nieces and nephews Let me tell you what god did for me When he saved me from sin and death when jesus came into my life When jesus changed this Sin pattern in my life when jesus freed me from this addiction or whatever the marvelous works of the lord in your life When jesus led me to my spouse when jesus showed me what his plan was for my life We need to be able to tell that story Not only be able to we need to tell that story to the next generation Because what happens When we don't the next generation will be uncataclyzed They'll be very aggressively catechized by egypt And that is happening right now At a speed an intensity That i don't know has ever happened before Our children and grandchildren and god children are being catechized with incredible intensity and pressure right now By the secular culture By ideologies diametrically opposed to the gospel Just a couple of examples You you know probably that lgbtq plus ideology ideology is being promoted in disney movies now In tv shows for small children children's libraries throughout the country are hosting drag queen story hours lgbtq ideologies also on cereal boxes and being promoted in toys like legos At an even worse level a recent op-ed In a supposedly mainstream newspaper like the washington post claimed that So-called kink culture Of the kind you see in pride parades is good for children and children should be exposed to it And the san francisco gay men's chorus was in the news recently because they put online this song Beautifully sung by them all of them together The lyrics that said this You think we're sinful you fight against our rights you say we all lead lives you can't respect But you're just frightened you think that will corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked Funny just this once you are correct We'll convert your children happens bit by bit Quietly and subtly and you will barely notice it Every once in a while the mass comes off And you see what's really going on and it's spoken so openly and clearly It startles everyone it should shock everyone There is an epic battle being fought right now for the next generation Just as there was at various times in israel's history egypt seeking to lure The next generation back to itself and back into slavery and out of their covenant love relationship With the lord and so brothers and sisters whether you have any small children in the home right now or you Like me you're a godparent Or an aunt or an uncle or a grandparent whatever it is I really believe the lord is calling us in a particular way today Teach your children diligently Whatever opportunities you have i know it can be delicate if their parents are not Going in the same direction as you but take whatever opportunity you have a few weeks ago I was on vacation with my family. I was at mass with my nieces and nephews some of them are teenagers I felt like the lord said you need to sit down with them and give them theology of the body I said lord they're on vacation. They're having lots of fun with their friends If you want this to happen you got to make it happen So after mass I go out there's a there's this little gaggle of teenagers all talking to each other and having fun And they got their motorbikes and everything and I said, how would you like to have an evening of theology of the body here in the chapel? How much chance for that, huh? Lo and behold the oldest one who was 18 Says oh wow that would be awesome He's the leader that all the other ones look up to And they're like yeah, let's do that So I sat them down in the chapel We had a great time talking about theology the body and what to do when your friend comes out as transgender And questions like that that was what the lord told me to do He's going to tell each of you to do something very specific in accord with your gifts But teach the next generation diligently Evangelize the next generation who are being so so lured away by the world So there are the three lessons the lord will fight for you Hard and not your hearts But instead praise him And teach your children Diligently and they With us then will enter into that eternal unshakable kingdom that promised land of which Canaan was just a pale shadow Glory to god


Well, so thank you all again for speaking with us for this interesting breakout session. Ours was very lively. I believe the other session was like that too. And moving on to our plenary, which is starting with me, I'll give a small recap of our session 2A, which looked on the social aspects followed by Daniel. And then we'll have Kanya take over from there. So really quickly, we have three speakers, UT, Dianto, and Moira. And we have very interesting and very, I would say, broadening discussions and talks. UT talked about social cohesiveness, why it's important in the context of Wheatland restoration, particularly so because restoration activities face many challenges. And there is this space which is contested who owns the resources or like the ownership issue, the institutional issue and over time how those changes. So we discussed about those. The cohesiveness is an important parameter in that because these at a landscape level, these keeps on evolving. Then Dianto presented us with more questions than answers and basically highlighting again the complexity and we were discussing a little bit about the complex nature of relationship in terms of land and resources in yours and the conflict that arises and presenting a case study from West Kalimantan and the role of social forestry, how the area is targeted for social forestry, but it is a peatland and a peat dome and how those actions created more, I would say confusion because there's no clarity who owns the rights to that land and who decides what is undertaken there. And then lastly, Moira, she presented analysis, a case study from Vietnam where she looked into the network analysis of all different members within a small village community. And her presentation focused on the importance of participation for success of restoration program and what are the topics that come under like the equity, the social equity, how it's all equitable for everyone. And then exploring these networks, exploring these information exchange at a very local level can provide us with some insights and how to make these restoration, peatland restoration successful at a local level. And these are a few of the topics, the social aspect that are importantly included when we talk about criteria and indicators. So all three presenters provided a very, a quick snapshot that highlighted the complexity and very important topics related to peatland restoration. Thank you all. Thank you, Rupesh, and from our group, we were talking about the economic aspect of products coming out from peatland, Ibu City working with Lambung Mangorad University, but closely intact work with the local community in trying to improve the processing of product coming out from degraded peatland. So there are dozens of species that can be utilized and they all have a high market values. The challenge that they have really is how to improve the quality and also to access the market. But this product suddenly can come together with the restoration activities because they are non-timber products and certainly will be sustainable if the quality of the forest is also improved. So there are a lot of opportunity for South Kalimantan to link with activities in other places, especially to improve the price of these products. The university also play an important role in being the incubator of this product as well. So I should mention that. From Sumetohor village in Riau, we learn from Pamanan who is a local leader and also activist in the local NGO dealing with the improvement of product of Sagu. He has been working with community to produce Sagu with better and better quality, but a lot of assistance needed to improve, number one, the quality of the products so that they can improve the grade with a price of around 1700 rupiah to about 7000 rupiah per kilograms if it is processed well. That kind of technology, maybe not too difficult technology is needed so that the local community can have a better living and also a policy from the government to use the local product for any kind of social aids that are now being used during the COVID pandemic. It's a lot of budget to do that. The Bansos scheme is very important to purchase local product and use locally. Adarsono with his large scale conservation project in Pitland also made a very impact in the surrounding areas, the buffer area, even if it is mineral soil, working with farmers and growing a coconut to produce cobra as well as sugar. And the market is very high, very good, it was subsidized at the beginning and now they can be on their own or even perhaps busier to serve the market needs, the demand. So that's the stories from three different places from the economic perspective. Thank you very much. Thank you Pa Daniel. So next we have Kanya. She will be presenting with the, she has one evaluation and survey for an interactive exercise for all audience. So let me give blow to her so you can explain what her exercise is and let's all participate. Kanya, how about you? Thank you Rupesh. First of all, I would like to say thank you to our speakers for the insightful sessions and discussions and thanks to all our participants who already actively participated during the sessions on the chat box. Like Rupesh said, I will have a little exercise for all of us to be involved in. After you heard the presentations and involved in the discussions from this event, I would like to ask you some questions. So there will be questions appeared on your screen. It's a polling questions. We have three questions covered, government aspects, social and economic aspects. Each questions will have five choices. You need to choose three out of five choices. Okay. Without further ado. You have muted. You clicked the wrong button. I'm sorry. It's because I'm nervous about that. So, okay. I'll re-explain again. So we will have three questions. Each questions will have five choices. So please choose three as your best answer out of five choices. So without further ado, let us start the exercise. Hello, Madini. Can you help me to show the questions? Yeah. So this is the first question. Please choose three most important criteria for government aspects. These are five choices. So you need to choose only three. And then, yeah, please answer quickly. 30 seconds. And submit. And submit. Yeah. Don't forget to submit. Okay. Can you show me the results, please? Wow. So this is the answer. Most of us chose transparencies is the most important criteria and indicators. Follow up with the strong governance. And then. Access to resources. That's quite interesting questions. And then, okay. Move to the next question. You have to close this. So, like the previous one, please choose a three out of five questions, answers about the criteria for social aspects. Is it access to information, social networking, to new rights resolution of conflicts or local institutions. You can only pick one. You can only one. Why? Why Rini? You cannot choose to three. Well, let's choose the top most. Just the top. The best. Sorry about that. Yes. Please show the results. So most of us think that the most important criteria is about the tenor rights. Probably it's based on Paddianto presentation about the tenorial conflicts. And then the last move to the last questions, please. So it will be. It's like the previous one, please. Choose your best answer. And then submit it. Please show the answer. So most of us chose. Access to markets and then follow up by improved value of products. And then sustain production. Okay, please. Close. Thank you. I just want to add like a little sentence here. Those criteria, I think that's important for us to explore more. But let me synthesize what Pahar is saying in the previous session that whatever criteria that we chose, we need to think it will be localized criteria so that it can be implied and more understandable by our audience, especially for communities. So don't do complicated. Also said by Ravi from previous sessions of this webinar. Thank you very much. Back to you. Thank you. Thank you. Very nice exercise. We learn across this criteria today. And we are arriving in the last session that is equally important because this will help us to travel to the next session or the next series of webinar. So I would like to invite Paharis Kunawan, who is currently in the field is somewhere in South Kalimantan.  Take care of yourself, Paharis. So please address the participant and give us your kind words and wise word how to move forward after this session. Paharis, you can also directly close this session after you have your message. Thank you very much. Thank you, Professor Daniel. Thank you, Rupis and Kanya. Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Good morning from everywhere where you are right now. I am pretty happy to have this event. I want to show something for Professor Daniel. What do you want to show from your computer? Yes, yes. Wow. Go ahead. So, yeah, I think the last our patient that Kanya already asked to make more easier how to make a priority the criteria and indicator for the, I think for the three aspects, the government, social and economic and all of you already excited items and then we right now follow up for the, like our assessment for the next, for the next meeting, we would like to discuss more detail about the, how we measure the criteria and indicator. It's also important to have like a deeper discussion about the discussion. And as I show this slide, as you know, that's nice. Okay. And I say nice speaker that the activities and we also listen from the all of the speaker that we also understanding that rural development methods and restoration must be from village know that. I think this is very important because the different ecosystem with others and ecosystem all over the world and the system already have many, many inhabitants or many communities. So how do we make the deal about sustainability life for the future. And then the other so we talk about the future that we can make a donation of the and so the many aspects would be considered as you already know the hydrology, biophysics and other socio-economic aspect. So, I think the high principle for the governance, but I saw that we already decide the important that about the government, about how to make a transparent and then also access the information and also the budget. So I think we need also to make a detail for the next meeting, how to measure and how to do this criteria and indicator. And the social aspect, I surprised that the participant said, in my understanding that, of course, the tenorial is very important, but I think we consider other aspects like social cohesion, social networking also very, very important to be established in the criteria and indicator. Land restoration agency has the IDPG indicator, but also I think should be including for the social criteria and indicator. So we need to be careful also if we work at the level, you cannot say very strict how to the community or how to the people use the land, because the concept of the restoration is also still new for the level community feel it. So I think we need to process to encourage and then to approach and work together with the community. I think that also very important for our discussion next discussion. And then I give the attention about the community or alternative sustainable life. I think we also listen to partners or not. As with the college, we cannot rely on the homo detainting. Of course, we need to make like the added value and also the product for the various products. I think the ecosystem, especially in the tropical, the understanding in the whole landscape. So we cannot say just one or two products, but also about the whole of the ecosystem to be a service for us. So I think we consider that how we also promote for the payment ecosystem services and then based on our research activity. So we are confident that we need to make the mix more detailed for the supporting community livelihood in the future. So we cannot rely on the one commodity. So I think all my include including remark and then so I think the next meeting we need to more discussion how to we measure how to establish the methodology to our decision criteria and indicator. And of course we are, I think so, very, very, thank you for all of you and all of the participants, especially from the team restoration gamut era. I mean that the local restoration, restoration team, we hope they can involve and then also can participate for the, our next meeting and then for the, our activity for the, like the, or the, to, to, to, to, to strong, to make a strong the criteria and indicator for the tropical pitland restoration. I think that's all. Thank you and stay healthy for all of you. Good afternoon. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Thank you. Thank you very much Haris. Bye bye.


Now we are making measurement of that shimne which is 60 cm as the range and diameter of 10. This is a very metal cut sheet, mild steel sheet for that base which has diameter of 30 cm. The next step is to drill holes on this sheet of 0.5 cm. Then after drilling those holes, we lull. This is the construction view of how our converter will look like in this one. The top one is the shimne of length of 60 cm and diameter of 10. This is the base of 30 cm as the diameter and the length of 60 cm. After that we are going to make holes on the base and then we are going to lull those base and make those shimne. After that we are going to cut another piece of metal which will be covered in the bottom and the top of our base. All pieces, all metal sheets are ready for them to assemble. The next stage is to go to the workshop so I can assemble them. I can lull drilling holes and assemble them.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2017 Chevy Camaro LT2 RS package is stock number 20J235D. We're here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, near New and used sports car headquarters. This 2017 Chevy Camaro has the 3.6-liter V6 engine. It puts out 323 horsepower. This car has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process that has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off, and this car is 100% ready to go. We're going to go inside, all the way around, under the hood, started up in this video. Garnet, red metallic is the color, and we shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second. If you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the car before seeing it in person. If you like the video on how we do things here at Summit Automotive in the upper right-hand part of the screen is a subscribe button to our YouTube channel. Click that if you want, and then click the bell notifications and you'll get updates every time we do videos here of our new and used inventory. This one comes with 20-inch painted alloy rims, really good-looking rims on this car, and it has Coomho Majesty 9 245 40 ZR20 tires, and these tires look very new. Still see the little wear knob on the side there, and I'd say they have just about all the tread left on them. Front fender is in excellent shape, I didn't see any dents or dings on there. It does come with the LED running lights, projector lamp headlamps, and the LED fog lamps. Front bumper is in really nice shape, I didn't see any major dents or cracks on it. The hood is in very nice shape, as are the stripes that are on it. I didn't see any dents or dings on there, and the passenger side front fender is in excellent condition as well. There's no other side rim, no scuffs or scrapes, and as you go down this side of the car, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos, so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the car, you can see the car, hear the car, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful, and that Brett sent you. Back rim just as nice as the rest. On the back we have 275 35 ZR20s, and they are just as new as the front tires. We might have put those on in our safety inspection, I apologize for not checking the system before starting this video, but they are very, very new tires on this car, if not brand new. Rear bumper is in absolutely perfect condition, you get the nice bright chrome-tipped exhaust there. The trunk lid is in excellent shape as well, I didn't see any dents or dings on there, and those stickers are in nice condition too. We'll check out inside the trunk in just a second here. Going down the driver's side, no dents or dings on the quarter, and for full disclosure this back rim is in very nice condition as well. Driver's side door is very, very nice, it does come with power mirrors. Before we check out this really good looking interior, we'll check out the trunk here. The back storage area is very nice and clean, and I believe that's your tire inflator kit. And then your RPO codes are right here, feel free to pause that, go back and pause it if you want, make sure this car has got all the options you're looking for. And that trunk shuts nice and solidly. Inside we have the Kalahari Brown Leather Interior, you get those black accent strips in there too. Seats are in really nice shape, no major rips or tears, power driver seat. Back seats are in excellent shape, you do have the latch child safety system, those seats do fold down for extra storage to the trunk. Once again those seats are in really nice shape. You do have auto headlamps, power locks, power windows, power mirrors, and the Bose premium sound system. We'll hop inside and check out the miles and the radio, and everything this car has to offer and then we'll start it up. So this thing's trimmed out really nice on the inside, and I think I got to start it up for us to see the miles and everything. Anyways, starts right up, and you'll see there's no check engine lights or anything like that. This car has 36,509 miles, it does have a digital speedometer, compass display, instrument cluster is very nice and clean. Comes with the leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and information center controls on the right, audio controls on the right, you get the flat bottom on the steering wheel, cruise controls, and radio controls on the left, you also have the paddle shifters. This one comes with the Chevy MyLink radio, AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities, and this one does have the factory navigation system. So you can see you have the blend and all the XM channels down there, you also have a projection manager where you can project yourself onto the screen via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, so if you have a different nav system you like better than the factory one, project it right up there, such as Google Maps or Waze or something like that. Down here you're heated and cooled seat buttons, your dual climate controls, this has the eight speed automatic transmission, you have your stability control, your different driving modes, so you see in the instrument cluster here you've got snow, sport, and tour for your different options, and you can switch that with that switch, and your parking brake is right there as well. Heal-less entry with the remote start, color matched key fob protector, passenger side seat and floor mat are in excellent condition, smells very clean inside this car, headliner is a nice shape and it does have the power sunroof. On-star capabilities in the mirror and you do get map lights up there as well as sunroof controls and home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll, actually we already looked at the back seats, we'll take a quick look under the hood. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you will have been able to verify the quality and condition of this car all the way around inside and out. Under the hood we have the 3.6 liter V6 engine, 323 horsepower engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth, looks like it does have a K&N air filter and just very nice underneath. You can see the shocks are doing a nice job holding that hood up, there is your emissions sticker. Once again this car has been fully safety to inspect it, has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off, has four, I'm going to say brand new tires and is 100% ready to go. You get the HID headlamps on there, the LED running lights and fog lights there and I would highly recommend this car from a quality and condition standpoint. This thing is like new all the way around and to see more pictures of this car, one of our other 450 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, Wranglers, sports cars, Camaros, Challengers, Chargers, Mustangs, GT500s, you name it we got it, go to that website right there, www.summitauto.com full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations all at summitauto.com and if you'd like to check out more HD videos you can go to youtube.com slash summitauto.

I want to insist what our duty really is, is do we need to give a specific diagnosis when possible because this really helps guide management. And what we need to consider in addition to, of course, the sonographic characteristics is the age and menopause status of the woman, a potential risk factor for ovarian cancer, such as, for instance, familial history of ovarian cancer or Lynch syndrome, identical symptoms, and also lab abnormalities such as CA-125. So we really need to have a global picture of the patient. And so when we talk about evaluation of adnexal mass, ultrasound is widely accepted as a first imaging modality. It will involve not just transabdominal, of course, endovaginal and color-empowered Doppler. And several studies have shown that expert sonographic interpretation is highly accurate in differentiating benign or leave a long lesion from potential malignant masses with a high negative predictive value. So we leave MR for characterization of adnexal masses that are indeterminate ultrasounds. It's a problem-solving modality which has high sensitivity as well as specificity for identifying malignant and benign masses. CT really doesn't play a role except perhaps for characterization of dermoids in the characterization of adnexal masses. But of course, many are found on CT and it's really important, of course, in the staging of cancer. So what we'll talk about is illustrative key sonographic character, is it of benign lesions that we can readily diagnose? And with use sonographic criteria that will help answer the question, is this mass likely to be an aggressive or invasive ovarian cancer or is it likely benign? And we'll discuss some indeterminate masses because all this is really important in terms of allowing us to formally declare a conclusion and offer appropriate recommendations and I will discuss them as we go along. These are the simple rules from IOTA, the international variant tumor analysis. The SRU is more focusing on the nexal cyst in their more recent paper. And then there is finally the ORADS from the American College of Radiology which tries to be a very comprehensive management strategy to classify risk of ovarian or nexal mass being malignant. And so I would encourage everybody to adopt at least some of them to try to make it to uniform throughout your practice, especially if you have a very large number of radiology such as we have at NYU or we had at Hopkins. Because that will allow you to offer recommendation for management based on current evidence-based practice. Of course, we do that after discussion with the referring clinicians, but that will allow us to minimize unnecessary follow-up imaging and also refer to the appropriate specialist. So let's first talk about benign and nexal masses then we can readily diagnose. And the first one is an ovarian cyst in the premenopausal women which is ovarian lesion, I should say not really mass. And you have simple cysts which is basically a failure of the follicle to involute or hemorrhagic cysts which is thought to be failure of the corpus luteum to involute. These tend to be symptomatic. And then of course, I think I'll need to insist in cases of hypostimulation or gestational trophoblastic diseases. So this is the most common lesion in 50 or younger women, a simple anechoic cyst. And the recommendation has changed a little bit recently. So if it's less than three centimeter it's basically considered normal. Between three and five centimeters, the SRE guidelines suggest that you don't really need to do a follow-up in this premenopausal women. Between five and seven centimeters, if it's really simple or you can think about it but most will recommend a follow-up in two to six months. And over seven centimeter definitely a follow-up and possibly suggesting another imaging modality because above this size is really difficult for ultrasound to be sure that this isn't simple cyst. And this is just an example of a corpus luteum which is, you know, Floyd, vascularity around it that we all know about.  Now in the older women, it's a little bit different. So this is a 76-year-old woman which has an edexal mass. You see this about four and a half centimeter. It's also completely anechoic with a thin wall. So it's a simple cyst. And if provided that it's unilocular, that has thin wall, there is no color dropper or just high resistance for at the edge of the cyst, we've seen that many of these women, you know, screening of asymptomatic postmenopausal women about 3.3 to 15% will have this cyst. And particularly 10% of postmenopausal women on tamoxifen will develop cysts. So it becomes a dilemma, what to do with this? When do we need to worry about them? When we need to follow them? So the recommendations are that you check the C8125. It's normal. If it's less than three centimeter and your comfortable is a simple cyst, you probably don't need to follow. Above three centimeter, you do three to six months for characterization and then six to 12 months for growth. And then yearly afterwards, at least until stability is assured is what the general recommendation is because the natural history of the cysts is either they remain stable or they resolve over time. Now, if there is any of these, the cyst and loges or there are mural nodules or thick septations, then I would recommend perhaps before surgery at least to get an MR with contrast or also in cases where the patient's really anxious or unable to undergo regular ultrasound, then you need to maybe have MR or even laparoscopy. And in those patients that have this cyst, we move some of the path findings that have been reported as serous or musinocystidinomas, perovirion or endometriosis that have done dormant in this postmenopausal woman or hydrocell banks. The only thing I would say is be very careful when you call this a simple cyst, especially in older women because you can have reverberation artifact near the near wall and that's fine. But sometimes this can hide nodule. If you see in this case, this is not just reverberation because you shouldn't have reverberation artifact in that corner. And if you turn on it actually in the corner, you see that there is a mural nodule.  So we really have to be careful before we call something a simple cyst. Now, sometimes if the cystic mass is more than 10 centimeters and both the aorta and the ovarians will talk about size and generally when the cyst is more than 10 centimeters then something else needs to be done about it. But if you assist at large with some of these features predominantly cystic mass, no septations or a few very thin septations, no mural thickening, no flow or high resistance flow, then this is likely that it's at least very likely to be benign and this patient may undergo an MR and then a G1 surgery. And this turned out to be just a very large benign silver cyst adenoma. So these are some of those features that in the cystic region would favor the fact that this is going to be a benign cystic neoplasm. Now we're all familiar with the next very common the nexomass, which is a hemorrhagic cyst. If you see a retracting clot with these acute angles or if you see this lace-like or fishnet appearance they will have, they will be avascular of course because this is just a blood clot with maybe some flow at the edge of the lesion. And sometimes they can have a fluid fluid level and in these cases it's very easy straightforward diagnosis. If they're five centimeters smaller there is really no need to follow up. If they're larger perhaps you want to follow up in six to 12 weeks to make sure they resolve. And it's the same rule if you see an ovarian cyst on CT in a young woman you basically apply the same rule. You don't really need to get an ultrasound to follow up. If they have an atypical appearance such as this one which looks more solid then of course you'll get a follow up and you can see that this patient came a little bit earlier than we suggested but anyway it had already resolved. Another lesion we can diagnose with confidence is endometrioma which is basically functional endometriotic tissue outside the uterus. And there's a diffuse form that basically forms cart tissue but the chocolate cyst is what we're talking about here which is a localized endometriosis of the ovary and they have a very typical appearance. They can be multilocular or unilocular but they all have this diffuse ground glass low level echoes. They can have septations but the other thing to look for is this ecogenic foci in the wall. That's very characteristic of endometriomas. It's basically probably debris from hemocidurin from the hemorrhage. So then look for that if you think something is an endometrioma. And of course if it's a large cyst such as this one is more than seven centimeter you can see again that this has a typical ground glass appearance then you may want to do an MR just to confirm and basically they will be high signal intensity on T1 because of their blood content and there's a characteristic tissue shading that you see again due to the hemocidurin content of these lesions. Now be careful again because this lesion if you look very quickly also looks like there are diffuse low level echoes however this one has nodules. So there are nodules like these soft tissue nodules and this is not an endometrioma and this turned out to be a borderline serous tumor. Now another lesion that we can readily diagnose is this one. This was a 56 year old woman with breast cancer so you can imagine that she was very anxious but we can reassure her because this is indeed an ovarian mass more solid appearing but it has these typical ecogenic lines within it which is characteristic of a cystic teratoma dermoid and this is the dermoid mesh. Now these are quite common probably one of the most common ovarian neoplasm they can be bilateral. They mostly are seen in younger adult and pregnant women but eight to 10% are found in post menopausal women. They contain derivatives from all three germ layers. They are very characteristic ultrasound features. Dermoid mesh or ecogenic mass with shadowing and this is another that's the only solid mass if there is shadowing within a solid mass this is part of the iota simple rule that will also be a dermoid. They may have calcifications and they may have some other appearance such as a fat fluid level or floating ecogenic balls and if you have two or more of this sign this is a really old paper but this whole tool this is 100% positive predictive value for the lesion being a cystic teratoma. So this is a small ecogenic mass in the ovary. This is a lesion that's why this has we have talked about a tip of the iceberg sign because there is so much shadowing and the shadowing in this case is probably from fat mixed with hair we don't see the borders of the lesion that's why it's called a tip of the iceberg. Now sometimes they have less different appearance so this is a lesion that has a fat fluid level with a hairball that floats at the fat fluid interface and also the Wachitansky nodule here and the CT confirms the presence of actually bilateral dermoids. This one is very large but again it has these floating hairballs and this one also has these characters six shadowing so we can be pretty confident that this is going to be a cystic teratoma and this large size perhaps might not be a better idea just to get another study such and more to confirm plus as we'll see in another chart there at Whisper torsion. And this is however a very typical appearance this patient had pain and really in this mass it's a solid appearing mass and there is no shadowing so really in this particular case we cannot be comfortable that this is a dermoid and so we're going to get a CT but also an MR with fat saturation the T1 with fat that confirms that this is fat in this lesion and this is indeed a cystic teratoma but this is an atypical lesion you would not be able to make a comfortable diagnosis on ultrasound. Now again be careful because the nodule if it's a cystic mass and there are ecogenic nodules you want to make sure that there is shadowing to call it a cystic teratoma in this particular case there is no shadowing and this was a high-grade ovarian cancer. Now another lesion we can comfortably diagnose is a hydrocell things by its tubular appearance and when you look at it on cross-section you can see the thick and fimbria so that's an easy diagnosis to make. Now again you can get a sense that it's tubular even though a portion of the fallopian tube is more distended and this patient did have an MR that confirms the diagnosis and she was 56 years old so we wanted to make sure but this is another comfortable diagnosis you can make. Another one is a pair ovarian cysts which is a simple cyst probably from one of these embryologic remnants in the broad ligaments so it's separate from the ovary and of course it is important to recognize that they are separate from the ovary because they're not going to change they're not functional cysts so you just have to call it a simple pair ovarian cyst. And then finally peritoneal inclusion cyst is also a lesion that we can often comfortably diagnose when it is basically strapped peritoneal fluid because the ovary will secrete some fluid and because of adhesions around the ovary the fluid will not get resolved and will be trapped. Usually this patient has a history of prior surgery pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis the usually a lesion of premenopausal women with active ovaries and the important thing to recognize is that they have a passive shape they don't create mass effect they tend to surround the ovary as you can see here. So to summarize these are benign lesions we can diagnose with certainty we can put it in our report and basically reassure the patient.


The supplement that I've been using and loving is Seamos. Now I know what you're thinking. Why are you using Seamos? There are a lot of health benefits to Seamos. You can add it to really anything. I have the purple Seamos and the original Seamos. So the first one that I have is the purple Seamos. You can see it's a really pretty purple color. This is actually the Seamos that I'll be using in my breakfast this morning. And then I have the traditional gel Seamos. This one's a little bit of a beige color. So you're probably wondering, what is Seamos? Why are you taking it? I wanna tell you guys all about the benefits of it, the origin, and then I'm gonna show you how I typically take it, and that isn't a smoothie. You can really add it to anything. There are recipes you can make with it, including guacamole and soups and ozzi ebuls. You can even take it all by itself. So for hundreds of years, Seamos has been used for medicinal purposes. In fact, the name came about because it was often used as a source of nutrients and food during the Irish potato famine of the 1800s. It's a type of red algae, a seaweed, basically, so this seaweed has been long applauded as a super food. It's found in the shores of the North Atlantic, surrounding Ireland, Europe, and North America. The Herbal Vineyards brand, which is the purest form of Seamos, actually sources their Seamos from the Caribbean waters of St. Lucia. How fun is that that this came from St. Lucia? It comes in various colors, shapes, and sizes, but all of the different Seamos variations have the same nutritional value as long as the super food is 100% wild, crafted, and not farm raised. Now, Herbal Vineyards, it says right here, is wild, crafted. So this particular Seamos isn't farm raised, so it's going to be the highest quality that you can get. And not to mention, one thing I love about the Herbal Vineyards is it's raw and it's organic. So some of the benefits of Seamos is it can supply our bodies with nutrients. It's really nutrient-dense, it's a super food. It has 92 of the 110 minerals the body is made from, containing beta-carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, and sulfur, as well as minerals like magnesium, meganese, calcium, phosphorus, and zinc. It can strengthen our immune system. It also has a lot of anti-inflammatory properties, which is something that you know is really important to me because I do suffer from inflammation. It can provide nourishment to the skin. It can improve cell growth and your metabolism. And it also releases amino acids that are essential for protein and collagen synthesis. And we know how important collagen is for hair, skin, nails, and skinny elasticity. It can also improve your emotional health. It's been known as a mood booster. All of the minerals play a key role in your brain function. And when we're feeling low or a little more crankier than usual, adding Seamos is a big indicator of that phasing out. There are a lot of benefits to Seamos. Number one, and one of the main reasons why I've incorporated the herbal vineyard Seamos into my life is because it has been known to increase thyroid function. And you know that I suffer from an underactive thyroid. So if I can increase my thyroid function, I am all about it. It contains DIIdo thiamine, which is actually something that's deficient in people that have thyroid issues. So it contains that nutrient that helps boost your thyroid. It also regulates your metabolism, digestion, and mood. It also helps improve your energy levels by providing B vitamins. I actually take a B12 vitamin every day. So the fact that this has those same properties in it can eliminate one supplement from my daily dose. And really important, Seamos actually helps regulate a healthy weight. It contains high levels of iodine, which is really, really important for weight loss. It helps boost your metabolism, regulate your thyroid. Both of those contribute greatly to whether or not you're able to lose weight. And it also helps you build lean, strong muscles and helps with heart health. So there are so many health benefits with Seamon. Like I said, by adding it to a smoothie or making it in a super guacamole, you don't taste it at all, but you still reap all of the rewards. I start with one tablespoon as I get used to implementing this supplement more into my diet. So maybe after the two week mark, I'll go ahead and up it to two tablespoons and then slowly increase it to the recommended dosage. So I really, really like this product. It's a newer supplement to me. Like I said, I've been using it just under a couple of weeks, but I really, really am enjoying it. I'll make sure that I link it down below for you guys with a discount code. Highly recommend herbal vineyards after lots and lots of research because this is wild, crafted, raw and organic. It's the creme de la creme of CMOS on the market. So if you're looking for a new supplement to add to boost your thyroid, help with inflammation and boost weight loss, definitely check out herbal vineyards. Look how sweet she is. Every time I'm working in my office, she is always in here with me. Lola, are you cozy, baby? Hi honey. Hi baby girl. I love that she stays in here with me. Sorry if you can hear the blower in the background. Troy's outside blowing the yard. I made this tuna fish the other day. It's just a can of tuna, some light mayo and some sweet relish. And I need to finish it off. There's about half of the can of tuna left. So I'm going to have them with the Sonoma Cheddar Crisp. I actually bought these at TJ Maxx. They're really good. And then I'm having Aresa Zero Sugar for dessert. I don't know, it just sounds really, really good. I'm just going to have one of these. So that's going to be my lunch. So while I eat my lunch, just quickly, I wanted to share with you guys why I'm using these cheddar crisps here instead of regular crackers with my tuna. I shared on my Instagram that I was having some stomach issues like some digestive issues. I ended up actually having to go to urgent care and get some antibiotics. I think I had some type of bacterial growth or something in my stomach. Carbs really made it worse. So anytime I would eat really any carbs, it would just flare it up. Now I've been on my antibiotics for a few days. So chances are that wouldn't be the case now. So I ended up buying these to eat with my tuna fish instead of carbs. So I wanted to finish them off and I want to make sure that I get through my seven days of antibiotics before I really introduce a lot more carbohydrates. I did have one of these Reese's Peanut Butter Cups last night. That didn't affect me at all. But that's why I'm eating it on these cheese crisps instead of regular crackers. And I will say these cheese crisps, they are incredibly delicious. Super, super good. So I'm definitely feeling better but I just wanted to let you know why I'm choosing these over crackers. It's yard work day.  He's also going to be spraying some weeds in the front and backyard. Now that everything is in bloom, we're definitely getting a lot more weeds than we did when we first moved in. I did pick all the lemons on my lemon tree so they're completely gone. And this is actually blooming too, which is really, really pretty. This tree right here, we're taking that out because it's dead unfortunately. We didn't realize that it was completely dead. You can push on it and it moves. And then the vines on the wall are growing really well. And these bushes over here on our house have grown a ton since we moved in. Everything's grown a ton. And then this tree right here, whatever kind of tree it is, we think we're going to remove it too since it's so close to the house and this whole limb over here is dead as well for some reason. So we're considering taking that out too. Do you have the zoomies? This dog gets the zoomies every day, sometimes multiple times a day where he'll like run in, run out. He runs circles, he's crazy. Let Lola out, Lola. It is afternoon snack time and I am craving something lemony. So I'm gonna have my two good lemon or Meyer lemon yogurt. I love this yogurt. I love everything lemon. I mean, could a two lemon trees in my backyard be suited for anyone better than for me? So I'm definitely going to have my Meyer lemon yogurt and then I'm going to put two tablespoons of the safe and fair birthday cake granola right on top for that extra crunch. My nutstop order is here. You guys know how much I absolutely love nutstop. I just placed a huge order, now that we've moved to restock the pantry. So I wanted to show you guys what I picked up. I will make sure that I link my favorite nutstop products down below for you guys with a discount code. So definitely take advantage of that so that you can order from their website. And one great thing about nutstop is it is a small business and all of their products come in one pound packages. So you get a whole pound of whatever you purchase from them for a really affordable price. They have everything from trail mix, nuts, seeds, baking, candy, you name it, they have it. So let me show you what I grabbed. First is this trail mix.  I really like it because nuts are so great for weight loss. They're a healthy fat protein source. So this is the super supreme mix. It has peanuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, soybeans, almonds and then some sunflower oil. So I thought that that would be a really good snack. I also like to put trail mix and things on my yogurt. Also speaking of snacks, you can see I was in a snacky mood when I placed this order. I did grab their toasted corn. So these are their giant toasted corn nuts. So basically like corn nuts about big size. So again, I thought a really quick, simple snack. Another trail mix, I couldn't pass this one up. It sounded so good. This is the cranberry trail mix. And there's cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds, raw soybeans, banana chips and peanuts a little bit of sugar and some sunflower oil. So again, trail mix, vibes all day here. And then another thing I love putting on my yogurt is granola. You guys know I like that for a nice crunch. So I just grabbed their traditional granola. One of my favorite nuts and one of the healthiest nuts great for weight loss are pistachios. So these are the roasted salted pistachios. I like to get mine in the shell because it takes me longer to eat them. I can easily pop in a whole handful of the pistachio nut, but this way I take my time eating them and actually enjoy them. My husband loves black licorice. So I did grab the licorice all sorts. So this is just a mixture of those fun black licorice themed pieces. I just think they're so pretty, especially to put out on a candy jar on the counter. And another nut that we both love are cashews. So these are the roasted salted cashews. Again, that's a great, great snack choice. And what they do with anything that is perishable, so chocolate or anything, it comes in this nice refrigerated bag. So the first thing in the refrigerated bag are the sea salt caramel drop. So basically these are sea salt little chocolate chips. And I thought, again, great for baking, great for adding to homemade trail mix, topping yogurt, they're tiny little chips. So you can have a lot of them for the points and calories. And then I thought that I would try one of their sugar-free chocolates. I've actually never tried them. So these are the sugar-free chocolate peanuts. And I thought if I was gonna do chocolate, I would do chocolate with nuts, because that way it's a little bit more balanced of a snack. Again, I haven't tried their sugar-free. I'm hoping that it doesn't upset my stomach. Just some artificial sweet-nose do, but I wanted to give it a try. And for Troy and myself, I did grab the yogurt peanuts. I thought that these would be another great sweet treats and a great snack, because again, you have the peanut and the yogurt coating. I also picked up the sugar-free chocolate cashews. I thought you can't go wrong with chocolate and cashews together. As I mentioned, they're one of our very favorite nuts. And then last, but certainly not least, are the dark chocolate drops. Again, a great chip for baking and for snacking, and dark chocolate is just a little bit healthier for you than milk chocolate. So that is my nut stop order. I did end up getting quite a few things. I'm really excited, you guys. No, I love nut stop. I love supporting a small business. Don't forget, I will link it down below with some of my favorite items and 10% off for you so that you can go over to their website and do some shopping. For dinner tonight, I'm making a one pan pizza chicken. I'm really excited for this. Lots and lots of protein in this recipe. And we're going to pair that with some roasted potatoes and then I'm going to roast up some fresh organic green beans, organic mushrooms and organic zucchini. We have all this produce in our fridge for my imperfect foods box. So we're going to go ahead and use it all up. And then here's what you'll need for the pizza chicken. Minced garlic, mozzarella cheese, turkey pepperoni, marinara sauce of your choice. I'm using up the rest of the rails that I used in my recipe video that went live last Sunday. Fresh basil, salt, pepper and of course some chicken.   Get these on a sheet pan and into a 425 degree oven to start roasting while we start making the pizza chicken. So the first thing I want to do is get my potatoes in just because they take the longest. So I'm going to drizzle about two tablespoons of olive oil right over the top. And one of you suggested putting the buttery steakhouse seasoning on potatoes and vegetables. So I have this from Costco. Haven't even opened it yet. So I'm actually really excited to try this out. So I'm going to season my potatoes with the buttery steakhouse blend. I'm going to pop the potatoes into the oven and then we'll chop up the zucchini and the green beans.  We're going to add our chicken.  And then we're going to season it with some salt and pepper and allow it to cook completely through. It should take about four to six minutes. When your chicken is just about done cooking I'm going to add some minced garlic and allow that to get flavoring. I have a little over half of a jar of my Raios marinara. I'm going to add that right on top of the chicken. Add your torn fresh basil. Allow that to simmer until the marinara starts to warm through and your chicken will finish cooking at this point as well. Then we're going to add 24 pieces of turkey pepperoni. Allow it to simmer over medium heat for about five minutes. Last thing we're going to do is add one cup of light shredded mozzarella to the top and allow that to melt. Pizza chicken is done. This looks so incredibly delicious. I am going to plate this up along with the roasted potatoes and vegetables and I'll be back to share points and calories. So here is dinner for tonight. So I have one serving of the pizza chicken, roasted potatoes, mushrooms, green beans and zucchini. Lots and lots of veggies in tonight's dinner. I will put points, calories, serving size, everything here on the screen for the pizza chicken. So here's dessert for tonight. I'm going to have one of my Yasso mint poppables. These are incredible by the way. If you can score the poppables, highly recommend the mint chocolate 10 out of 10. Wrap on today's what I eat in a day on W. I hope you enjoyed coming along with me today for all of my food throughout the day. That dinner recipe, million out of 10. So, so good. You'll find that on my website.

Well, my dear students, the course is Labour Policy Pakistan and the topic is Unfair Labour Practices on the Part of Employer or the relevant section that is section 31 of the Industrial Relations Act 2012. My dear students, the heading is Unfair Labour Practices on the Part of Employer. Section 31, subsection 1, no employer or trade union of employers and no person acting on behalf of either shall impose any condition in a contract of employment seeking to restrain the right of a person who is a party to such contract to join a trade union or continue his membership of a trade union. So, section 31, subsection where he says that no employer or trade union of employers or any person on their behalf is not able to impose any condition in a workman's work contract that he cannot join a trade union. He can join a workman of his choice of trade unions. If any contract has such a provision, then it is void. The employer or trade union of employers or any person on their behalf refuse to employ or refuse to continue to employ any person on the ground that such person is not a member or office of a trade union, then the employer or trade union of employers or any person on their behalf will not refuse to employ any person on the basis that such person is an employee or trade union officer or member. The employer or trade union of employers or any person on their behalf will not discriminate any person on the basis of employment, promotion, condition of employment, working condition of employment on the ground that such person is not a member or office of a trade union. Employer or trade union of employers or any person on their behalf, the deep part is that dismiss, discharge, remove from employment or transfer or threaten to dismiss, discharge or remove from employment or transfer a workman or injure or threaten to injure him in respect of his employment by reason that the workman is or proposes to become or seeks to persuade any other person to become a member or office of a trade union. So this activity is that any worker or union of employers or any person on their behalf will not discriminate any person on the basis that such person is a member of a trade union. These are a lot of things that come in unfair labour practice on the part of employer. So the employer, if he does this work, then these unfair labour practices on the part of employer are called. The employer or trade union of employer or any person on their behalf, he cannot compel or attempt to compel any officer of the collective bargaining agent to arrive at a settlement by using intimidation, coercion, pressure, threat, confinement to a place, physical injury, disconnection of water, power and telephone facilities and such other methods. The employer or union of employer or any person on their behalf will not compel any workman or any collective bargaining agent to arrive at a settlement by using intimidation, coercion, pressure, confinement to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place. The employer or union of employer or any person on their behalf will not compel any workman or any collective bargaining agent to arrive at a settlement by using intimidation, coercion, pressure, confinement to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, physical injury to a place, that complete secession of work is likely to cause serious damage to the machinery or installation and has permitted temporary employment of a limited number of workmen in the section where the damage is likely to occur. You would be enlightened to know that unfair labour practices are being stopped because they are not a part of civilisation and the workmen are being given independence in a specific area so that through the proper democratic process they can go to trade unions and get their rights. Hope you have understood the topic. Thank you very much indeed.
