There are a lot of videos out there to help you get better at rocket League.

And, some of them are even worth watching.

However, I think the situation is a little more complicated than some would make it out to be.

Most of them will examine the common mistakes that people make,

and propose that their decision-making is the problem with their gameplay.

They see the result of any interaction as the choice made by the player.

And, I mean it's not wrong to say that bad choices will lead to you losing the game.

That's where they're coming from.

They'll look at replays and point out the times that you pass to the enemy, and they'll

tell you not to do that.

They'll see that you didn't clear it well and suggest that you should have.

You should have cleared the ball well.

They'll see a missed opportunity for a pass, and they'll tell you that you need to work

on your awareness.

You need to be able to know where your teammates are, so you can pass the ball to them.

That's what went wrong there.

These are all good suggestions, and they're not wrong.

You shouldn't pass to the other team, you shouldn't own-goal, and you shouldn't screw

over your teammates.

The point I'm trying to make is that most of the, the stuff labeled as advice is,

stuff that you will already know, and stuff that you would have known otherwise

had no one ever told you.

If you really want to help out your teams, and if you want to do better in 1's, then

you're going to have to practice mechanics.

This is the area of your gameplay that you have the most control over.

Here's what I've been doing.

I like to start with Hannah's Playground, and I usually just do the drills that are

on the screen right now.

So, going counter-clockwise or clockwise around in circles through these rings.

And, it's just a nice and slow kind of gradual warm-up.

It, uh, it kinda, it brings you through all of the directions, but it's just very slow.

In case I haven't mentioned it before, getting these workshop maps is really not hard.

All you need to do is log in on Steam,

and then go to the site.

Like, I'll provide the links in the description below.

But, you just need to go there and click subscribe, and that's all you have to do,

and it will show up in your workshop maps.

The next workshop map I like to do is called "The Wall".

And, I like this map because you get to take-offs and landings a lot,

and what happens in those moments is [that] you have to switch from your aerial control

scheme to your ground control scheme,

or from your ground control scheme to your aerial control scheme.

And, when you have to switch skill-sets like that--just like when you have to switch mathematical

operators,

when you're doing math (like if you switch from doing addition problems to subtraction

problems)--

it takes a bit of extra mental effort.

So, that's what we're working on here:

we're trying to integrate our ground control with our aerial control.

Some of these levels can actually be kind of tricky, so I'm going to leave the video

of me doing the full run in here.

It's gonna last about two more minutes from this point in the video,

and you can feel free to just skip over it if you want.

So, I was gonna talk about the dribbling challenge, but I think there's another drill that I have

in mind that probably no ones really advocated for...

at least not that I know of.

Just go down to options, go over to controls,

go down to left stick sensitivity, and then set it up to ten.

When the left stick sensitivity is set to its default of one, it gives you the full

range of motion with the control stick.

So, pressing a little left on the control stick results in turning a little left,

and now, with it set up to ten, we've pretty much removed any subtlety or any middle-ground,

so if you slightly push to the left, it's going to register as your control stick being

pressed all the way.

So, essentially what we've done is magnify the result of pushing the control stick so

that you can't kind of finesse it.

You have to think about what direction you're pushing the control stick and know beforehand

how long you're gonna have to hold it in that direction.

Now, if you've seen all these drills and you're like,

"Nah, that's all super easy for me.

I-I'm too good."

Then, there's one more difficulty I can throw in,

and that is:

to turn the screen upside-down.

So, switching your screen to "landscape (flipped)"

Obviously this is the same clip and I've just flipped it upside-down.

I'm gettin' a little tired of doing all these things, and I probably couldn't have beat

level twenty-three upside-down.

It's...

I'm okay at it, but this is probably beyond me.

Especially with the left stick sensitivity set up all the way to ten.

That was almost a tongue twister.

Alrighty, thanks for watching.

Bye!

What Blind People See | How Seeing Can Destroy Your Life - Duration: 6:00.

What do blind people see? Black, complete nothingness. That's what most people

assume vision, or rather lack of vision is like for blind people. Heck, even

people who have 20/20 vision assume people who need glasses, they see without

glasses in a complete blur, but that's not the case. I take off my glasses, it's, it's not blurry it's it's more fuzzy. It feels like your eyes are tired all

the time. But back to the topic at hand, what do blind people see?

One person who have full sight up until the age of 31 then he had a botched

surgery which severed the connection between his eyes and his brain, he

described blindness as not total blackness everyone assumes. He said the

answer, at least in my case, is light. Lots of it, bright, colorful, ever-changing,

often terribly distracting light. He said, "How do I begin to describe it. Right now

I've got a dark brown background with a turquoise luminescence front and center.

Actually it just changed to green. Now it's bright blue with flecks of yellow

and there's some orange threatening to break through and cover the whole lot.

The rest of my vision is taken up by squashed geometric shapes, squiggles and

clouds I couldn't hope to describe enough before they all change again.

Anyway, give it an hour and it'll all be different" when he first went blind and

he started experiencing this he thought it might be a sign that his eyes were

beginning to work again but unfortunately that wasn't it it was just

his brain making a pretty fact that no long receives visual stimuli but what

about people who have been blind from birth one person said I see nothing I

have never seen anything I don't see black because I I don't know what black

is I've never seen it one kind of interesting way to try this for yourself

is look straight ahead and cover your right eye with your hand now you can

only see through your left eye but what you see through your right eye you don't

see anything you can only see your left eye that's what being blind is like it's

seeing nothing others who have had sight but then went blind say it's similar to

falling into a great this there's nothing but if they rub

their eyes really hard they see sparks those with light perceptions say they

can see shadows figures that's about it they can tell if the lights are on or

not what's actually interesting is that these people see perfectly in their

dreams they only see the dark when they awake

the title of this video is what do blind people see the answer to that is is

nothing they see nothing at all and it's so hard for us to imagine nothing

because well to to us everything is something and nothing is well nothing is

nothing it's commonly assumed that when someone loses their eyesight they gain a

superpower okay well not super virus but like their other senses are touched

their smell it becomes like super heightened now what many people think it

is is that whatever their sight blind people pay much more attention to

hearing than we do because because we simply don't need to however there is

mounting evidence that when a person loses their eyesight their brain

actually undergoes an Makeover of sorts the area of the brain devoted to sight

gets put to work on processing other areas a study published in the Journal

of Neuroscience found the people who are born deaf use areas of the brain

typically devoted to processing send to instead process twitch and vision

perhaps more interestingly the researchers found that this neural

reorganization effects him deaf individuals perceive sensory stimuli

making them susceptible to a perceptual illusion that hearing people do not

experience in fact the people who lost their eyesight often have enhanced

auditory abilities brain imaging studies showed visual cortex in the blind is

taken over by other senses such as earring or touch and contributes to

language processing she's wearing flourish okay that's amazing so yeah

they kind of do have superpowers but what if a blind person suddenly gained a

vision well it wouldn't be great if they've been blind their entire life

there are a few stories of people who were born blind but gained sight later

in life it's very rare there's only a small

number of it ever happening say for example if somebody was born with

cataracts and then we had the technology to cure them of it later in life and

when they gained vision it wasn't great it actually destroyed their lives

because they suddenly had this crush of information coming in for example they

couldn't understand why some objects are smaller than others so they might see a

car up close on that far away and be like why is one small and someone would

say well it's small because it's further away that's why it looks smaller these

are small but the ones out there are far away

small faraway but why does something being further away make it smaller you

see blind people couldn't understand perspective perspective is not something

you were born with is something you learned you learned us baby so they may

see birds in the sky high above and try swap them like flies it's interesting to

think that you could live for years as a blind person and suddenly your life is

ruined by gaining sight thanks for watching Mike

How Receivership can Protect Values in Dissolution of Marriage – Fiduciary Broker Vlog #1 - Duration: 3:22.

Hi, I'm Dan Collins – a California licensed real estate broker with expertise in real

property matters in Probates and Trusts.

I am also a California licensed general contractor and receivership expert.

To learn more about receiverships protecting values, please visit my website: probate-realtor.biz

Today I want to give you an example of how a Receiver can be useful in cases of divorce.

Let me tell you about a case I worked on involving a very unhappy divorce.

A married couple owned a California licensed property management business and, over a period

of two years before the wife filed for divorce, her husband had been skimming profits.

This allowed the husband to create a "war chest" of cash, and to falsely mask the

value of the business by underreporting net income.

Now theirs had been a long-term marriage, and the wife had started the business years

before her husband came into the picture.

When the wife discovered the skimmed profits, she retaliated by emptying the client trust

account.

There were tenants moving out of homes and apartments who had security deposits at risk

as well as client funds held in trust, which creates a very serious situation on many levels.

The attorneys representing the parties quickly realized they had a situation where the actions

of the litigants were becoming destructive to the property management business, so they

requested the appointment of a Receiver on an ex-part basis with the hope that the Receiver

would, with a properly crafted Court Order, quickly step in and salvage the business.

As an impartial and neutral Receiver, I convinced the wife to return the unused trust monies,

which allowed the Receiver to honor and return property management tenants' security deposits

and client trust funds.

Had a receiver not been appointed and been afforded the ability to take quick action,

tenants and clients would surely have filed complaints with the California Bureau of Real

Estate, which would have taken disciplinary action that may have resulted in the loss

of both the husband and wife's California real estate broker licenses.

Then, I counseled the husband that his skimming of business profits would end badly if he

didn't come clean and return the money, and fortunately he listened to reason.

By returning monies to the business, he avoided prosecution.

As the Receiver in the case, my job was to protect and preserve the business for the

benefit of all, and fortunately I was able to do that.

The unhappy couple did finally get divorced but the business avoided the consequences

of not being able to return tenant security deposits and client trust funds which preserved

the husband and wife's professional licenses.

Protecting their professional licenses allowed them to divorce and still have their livelihood.

Liverpool's defense must be fixed - Here is How Jurgen Klopp can do it | News Now - transfer | #LFC - Duration: 2:44.

With Liverpool's defence, it is a problem which needs fixing, and Klopp knows it.

"We talk about this from the first match day, the only way to fix it is to stay strong

and work on it," he said afterwards.

How can Klopp do that, though?

Not only do his side concede goals, but they concede good chances; shots at goal from close

range, making them harder to save.

Here are some of suggestions for the German coach to contemplate.

Three-at-the-back is back in vogue.

Chelsea won the Premier League last season with this system, while Manchester City and

Tottenham have had success with it, the latter against Liverpool on Sunday.

For Liverpool, it would offer more solidity and potentially allow better cover to individual

errors.

With a three-man defence, it would allow Joe Gomez or Ragnar Klavan to join the current

centre-back pairing, and give support to a nervous back-line.

Alberto Moreno and Trent Alexander-Arnold also seem ideal wing backs in this system,

though it would leave fewer slots for the wealth of attacking talent at Klopp's disposal.

It is a move several supporters have been calling for in recent weeks, and there was

a glimpse of what could be during the defeat at Wembley.

The issue in selecting the former Charlton man at centre-back is twofold: he remains

inexperienced there, and the expectation will be great.

Similarly, with Nathaniel Clyne out, it would mean a right side of Gomez and Alexander-Arnold,

but also demanding both physically and mentally on a duo so young.

The move would come with risks, although short-term problems could be soothed by long-term benefits.

Klopp and his squad have often been quick to note that goals conceded do not depend

on the back five alone, and that more is needed from those who play ahead of them.

Perhaps moving one of those who play ahead of the Liverpool captain, Gini Wijnaldum or

Can, into a deeper role, could provide a bit more balance.

Marko Grujic could also be a potential holder in this set-up.

How can a good God allow evil in the world? (Creation Magazine LIVE! 6-22) - Duration: 28:31.

Death and suffering is everywhere!

How can an all-powerful, loving God allow suffering?

This week on Creation Magazine LIVE!

Welcome to Creation Magazine LIVE!

My name is Richard Fangrad.

and I'm Calvin Smith.

This week on Creation Magazine LIVE our topic is 'How can a good God allow evil in the world?' Wow.

Talk about a huge subject, but it's one that we often hear questions about and that

many Christians struggle with as well.

Not only will we give a Biblical response to the question today but we will also show how

the proper response relates directly to the creation/evolution debate. Yes.

The origin of death and suffering is vitally important in defending Christianity, and many

people use the present suffering and death that you see everywhere as an excuse not to believe in God.

So it's vital to have an answer.

Such a justification of God's goodness in the face of evil is known in biblical terminology as theodicy.

Now the big picture is that Adam's sin is the reason for all the death in the world.

A consistent biblical answer points out that death is an intruder, so it is not part of

God's original creation, but is ultimately due to man's sin.

Right, however, according to theology that accommodates long ages, death has always been with us,

and theistic evolution even says that God used this 'last enemy' as His means of

producing His "very good" creation!

Not a really wise response…

Over a decade ago now, terrorists in the US, murdering 3,000 people

and we see more of this all the time.

And of course, this wasn't even close to the worst mass murder by evil men or movements that we've seen.

The evolution-based Nazi regime wiped out 6 million Jews and many others.

These morally evil deeds lead many to question why a loving God would allow such evil acts.

Of course there is also suffering caused by 'natural' evils like the magnitude 7 earthquake

that devastated Haiti back on the 12th of January back in 2010, killing at least 220,000.

Or the March 2011 magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan, that was a thousand times stronger.

And the magnitude 9.3 earthquake west of Indonesia on the 26th of December 2004 and that produced that devastating

tsunami that killed over 230,000 people in 14 countries.

Even those tragedies actually pale in comparison when you look at some of the other natural evils.

For example, in a few years of the mid-14th century, the Black Death (the bubonic plague)

painfully wiped out an estimated 75–200 million people in Europe, or a huge percent of the population.

In quite recent times, the First World War, with 9 million killed, was followed by the

even more devastating Spanish Flu epidemic

which killed at least 50 million of the world's population, many of them

young healthy adults.

Yes and another type of natural evil is physical disability or handicap.

We can think of Helen Keller for example, who lost the senses of both hearing and sight when she

was a baby, and Joni Eareckson-Tada who was paralyzed from the neck down when she was

a teenager. Those are evil things.

In addition to the headline events, just think of each of us. I mean we suffer illness, we suffer

headaches, accidents, and eventually, death.

So it's not surprising, when the burdens become too great, that people cry out to God, "Why

don't you do anything?

Why don't you care?"

Yes, and as the shock of each traumatic event subsides for a while, people begin asking why such things occur.

Reading about past wars or visiting memorials, for example, like the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.,

inevitably raises questions, "How can there be a loving God controlling the

universe in the light of such death and suffering?"

The pervasiveness of evil and death and things like that, is possibly the most effective tool that atheists use

to attack the Bible's picture of a 'loving God'.

Atheists make what appears to be a reasonable complaint: "If God is loving and all-powerful,

then why doesn't He use His power to stop the evil, suffering, pain, and death in the world?"

Multitudes have rejected God because of suffering.

Now as you can see, this is an incredibly important topic, and sadly, most people—and

many Christians—have no ready answer to the question of death and suffering in the world.

Over the next few minutes we'll dig deep into God's word for answers.

And we'll start that when we get back…

Most people have heard about the meteorite that hit the earth and supposedly caused the

extinction of the dinosaurs.

Secular geologists refer to this as the K/T extinction, and they regard it as one of the

most significant mass extinctions, according to their deep-time view of earth history.

However, did you know that the secular geologists have identified seven other mass extinctions

in the portion of the geological record that contains complex plant and animal life?

This shows that scientists are increasingly recognising the catastrophic nature of the

geologic record.

This goes against old ideas of only slow-and-gradual processes being responsible for all the rocks

and fossils.

These new perspectives are much more in line with a Biblical view of earth history, whereby

Noah's flood wiped out all air-breathing land animals not on the Ark.

No, there were not eight mass extinctions in earth history—but there certainly was

one massive extinction event!

To find out more from Creation Ministries International visit our website Creation.com.

If you've just tuned in, this week we are talking about 'How can an all-powerful,

loving God allow suffering?'

We've seen that many people have used the question to reject God entirely and become atheists.

OK so let's talk about death in general.

'Darwin's Bulldog', T.H. Huxley once said, "If our hearing were sufficiently

acute to catch every note of pain, we would be deafened by one continuous scream."

Of course his argument's pretty clear here.

A good God wouldn't allow such evil.

But do atheists really have a case?

For atheists to complain about 'evil', they must provide a standard of good and evil

within their own worldview.

If we are simply evolved pond scum, as a consistent atheist believes, where can we find an

objective standard for right and wrong?

Richard Dawkins once said, "The universe we observe has … no design, no purpose,

no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

… DNA neither knows nor cares.

DNA just is.

And we dance to its music."

But our ideas of right and wrong, under this system, are merely artefacts of some chemical

processes that occur in the brain, which happened to confer some survival advantage on our alleged

ape-like ancestors.

But the motions in Hitler's brain obeyed the same chemical laws as those in Mother

Teresa's, so on what grounds are the latter's actions 'better' than the former's?

Also, why should these terrorist attack slaying thousands of people in New York be more terrible

than a frog killing thousands of flies?

In an atheists worldview there is no objective standard of truth, no absolute right, no absolute wrong, Dawkins has admitted it.

What's right for you might not be right for me, etc., and then it just breaks down.

But a Christian knows there's an objective standard for morality that transcends individual

humans, because it was given by an objective and transcendent moral Lawgiver who is our Creator of course.

An atheist's argument against God because of objective evil inadvertently concedes the

very point that they are trying to argue against!

To say something is 'good or evil' is to say there must be an absolute standard by which

to judge such things. By which to differentiate between things that are good and evil.

Right, and we should note that the argument isn't that atheists can't live 'good' lives, its

just that they have no objective basis for their goodness if we are just rearranged pond scum.

So here's the atheistic argument summarized.

It goes back to the pagan Greek philosopher Epicurus who lived from 341–270 BC, who

was cited by the early Christian apologist Lactantius who lived from AD 240–320 then

used by the Scottish 'Enlightenment' skeptic David Hume, very famous, who lived in the 1700's.

In schematic form, the argument could be written this way:

1). If God exists, then God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and morally perfect.

2). If God is all-powerful, then He has the power to eliminate all evil.

3). If God is all-knowing, then He knows when evil exists.

4). If God is morally perfect, then He has the desire to eliminate all evil.

5). Evil exists.

6). If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate

all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.

7). Therefore, God doesn't exist.

Now the first premise describes the Judeo-Christian God as revealed in the Bible. All knowing all powerful, etc.

Premises 2–4 are plausibly held to be what the Judeo-Christian God would do with such

attributes.

The first two are held to be the Judeo-Christian premises, while #5 is indisputable (although

only truly justifiable under a Judeo-Christian world view).

So antitheists draw the conclusion that God can't have the attributes that the Bible

reveals about Him (#6), and conclude that such a God doesn't exist (which is #7).

Right, but some theistic philosophers try to retreat on #1, by denying that God is all

powerful, we see that in things like 'open theism' which is one of the, I think, dumbest heresies to come along in a long time and 'process theology'.

But this is not true of the God of the Bible.

So how then do we explain this?

Tune in in just a minute and we'll give you some answers…

The Genesis Account is the "Rolls Royce" of creation books.

It's a thorough, verse-by-verse analysis of the first 11 chapters of Genesis, revealing

what the text means.

Unlike most commentaries it includes the additional step of providing cutting-edge scientific

support for the history recorded in Genesis because its author, Dr Jonathan Sarfati, is

a PhD scientist.

Since science confirms the truths in God's Word, if both are properly interpreted, this

nearly 800-page book makes a fantastic reference tool for pastors or anyone wanting to know

what Genesis really means.

On this week's episode we are talking about 'How can a good God allow evil in the world?' A very important question for Christians to answer

and we've detailed an atheistic argument regarding 'evil' and God's existence, which we're going to re-state here because it's important for us to keep track of. So here we

go. Number 1). If God exists, then God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and morally perfect.

2). If God is all-powerful, then He has the power to eliminate all evil.

3). If God is all-knowing, then He knows when evil exists.

4). If God is morally perfect, then He has the desire to eliminate all evil.

5). Evil exists.

6). If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate

all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.

7). The conclusion? Therefore, God doesn't exist.

Right, now we've discussed how points 1-3 and 5-7 are sound, and that even number 4

is sound but incomplete, as Christian philosophers have long argued that Premise 4 should be extended to:

4'. If God is morally perfect, then He has the desire to eliminate all evil—unless He has

a good reason for allowing it.

Then there is no incompatibility with #5.

Yes and since no antitheist can know and show that there is no possible good reason for allowing

evil, since that would be a universal negative, the argument collapses as logical disproof of theism.

This was expressed in a wonderful book Dr A.E.

Wilder-Smith when he said, "This is how God triumphs over evil—not by 'stopping'

it, but by using it to His greater glory."

Later on, we'll see some biblical reasons why God is permitting suffering.

Yes, and apologists have also long pointed out that the atheists' argument doesn't work

for another reason.

The existence of evil now would be incompatible with #4 only if it read:

4) If God is morally perfect, then He has the desire to eliminate all evil immediately.

Yes that's a really important point because

God was to get rid of all evil immediately, He would need to destroy all of us!

And with this understanding, we can correct #5 to read this:

5'. Evil exists for now but will one day be destroyed (as the Bible says); or God has not got rid

of evil—yet! There's another way to put it.

Now this by itself is enough to show that not only do atheists not have a way of defining

good and evil anyway, but that atheists lack a logical case against God, using this argument. Right and that's good.

But it is still important to have a good apologetic explanation to go further and explain where

evil came from, why God allowed it, and what He is doing about it—and has actually already done about it.

Yes. Now the Bible clearly states that when God created moral beings, there was no actual evil.

In fact, evil is not a 'thing' in itself, even though it's real.

Evil rather is the lack of some good that something ought to have.

For example, a wound can't exist without a body, and the very idea of being wounded

presupposes the concept of a healthy body.

Right. Things have to be in context.

Blindness in a humans, that's a physical evil, because humans are supposed to see, but oysters aren't, they're not supposed to see,

so blindness isn't an evil them, so it's a lack of something right?

Also, evil actions are done to achieve things like wealth, power, sexual gratification,

which the evildoer finds 'pleasing' but they aren't necessarily 'good'.

So since evil isn't a thing, God didn't create evil.

And this lack of evil extended to the animal kingdom.

In particular, people and animals originally ate plants, not other animals as it says

in Romans [Genesis] 1:29–30.

There was no violence or painful suffering in the original "very good" world. Right, that was Genesis 1:29 and 30 by the way, just so if you are following along.

What did I say? You said Romans. That would be Genesis.

Yes there's a biblical illustration in Isaiah 11:6–9 and 65:25 which are pictures of a

future with allusions to the Edenic paradise God originally created.

These are famous passages of course about a lion and calf, wolf and lamb, and a vegetarian lion

and a non-harmful viper, a snake.

Yes and significantly, both passages close with indications that this reflects

a more ideal world and that the current world does not.

"They shall not hurt or destroy …" "They shall do no evil or harm …". These indicate

that hurting, harming and destroying animal life wouldn't have been part of a "very good" creation.

And this is again where long ages, trying to mix in evolution, trying to in mix millions of years of death and suffering before

Adam sinned it just doesn't make sense theologically. It falls apart. Trying to blend those things together it just doesn't work.

Why would God have created with things killing each other in the first place?

I mean we can't even explain sin when you try to add millions of years and evolution and all this type of thing.

And this is a point that our speakers make over and over again. There was no death before Adam sinned. It was a very good world. No sin, no death, no corruption.

More when we get back…

Several years ago, the paleontological world heralded the discovery of a fossil called

Tiktaalik roseae.

Some scientists claimed it as a perfect missing link between fish and amphibians, and so it

started appearing in school and university textbooks.

However, the discovery of a series of footprints in Poland, made by a four-legged animal, has

changed everything.

That's because these foot prints were dated according to the same evolutionary ideas at

18 million years older than Tiktaalik.

Therefore, from an evolutionary perspective, if four-legged animals existed before Tiktaalik,

then Tiktaalik cannot be the transition between fish and four-legged land animals that it

was claimed to be.

Indeed, these footprints are so significant that they have prompted some scientists to

say: "we thought we'd pinned down the origin of limbed tetrapods.

We have to rethink the whole thing."

Isn't it amazing how just a little bit of new evidence can completely undermine a neat

evolutionary story?

We're back and our subject this week is 'How can an all-powerful, loving God allow suffering?'

So OK, we've shown that God didn't create evil, but its here now so what happened?

Well, God created both Adam and Eve, as well as the angels, with the power of contrary choice.

This means that they had the power to make a choice contrary to their own nature.

Even God doesn't have this power. He can't sin because that goes against His perfectly holy nature.

Yes, it's an attribute of God that He can't sin.

Now the power of contrary choice itself wasn't evil, but it meant that there was the possibility of evil.

Evidently, God saw that the greater good would come from it, that the result would be creatures

who genuinely love God freely.

Actually, real love must be free—I mean if I programmed my computer to flash 'I

love you' on the screen, it wouldn't exactly be genuine love now would it? Right.

But Adam's misuse of this choice resulted in actual evil befalling him and the rest of the material

creation, over which he had dominion of course.

Now a short time after Creation Week, Eve was deceived by the Serpent's temptation,

and in turn gave the forbidden fruit to Adam, who wasn't deceived, but still ate it.

We actually see this statement in the New Testament in 1 Timothy 2:13–14.

Yes and as a result of his sin, Adam and his descendants acquired a sin nature we read

about in Romans 5:12, and lost the power of contrary choice.

It now meant that they could no longer go against their sin nature, and you see that explained

of course explained in Romans 7:15–25 and other places.

People today don't get their sin natures by sinning; they sin because they have a sin

nature. That's how it works.

Now in the Eternal State of redeemed humanity, having been purified by Christ, we'll no

longer even have the potential for sin.

The new heavens and new earth, will be even better than Eden.

Yes! That will be great.

So in summary, following Augustine: Adam and Eve were created with the ability

not to sin.

After the Fall, humans had no ability not to sin.

In the Eternal State, humans will have no ability to sin.

Now what about this so called 'Free will' defense?

Sometimes Christian apologists invoke something similar to what we've been mentioning, a

sort of complete 'free will defense' to kind of save the problem of evil here.

Yes but the biblical account is more nuanced—any 'freedom' applied only to Adam and Eve;

their sin lost the true freedom they were created with.

Their descendants, that's all of us, are now in bondage to sin.

Only redeemed humanity in the eternal state will have true freedom from this bondage.

OK, that's a pretty good overview to explain 'moral evil' in the world, where people

cause bad things to happen.

But what about natural evil?

What about when someone is taking a walk and a branch falls off and kills them

or hurts them?

Or what about tornadoes or earthquakes?

Right, the 'free will defense' is fine in the face of moral evil, but seems less

direct with regard to these kinds of natural evils, but the Bible tells us that Adam was the head of the human race in

Genesis 1:26–28 says that mankind was given dominion over creation.

So when he sinned, the whole creation under him was cursed as well.

Right, and since God is the author of life, death is the natural penalty of life without

God, the giver of life.

Also, because the Lord is holy and just, there had to be a penalty for rebellion.

Yes, the Fall was cosmic in scope.

As Romans 8:22 says, "the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs".

Adam and Eve couldn't have been separated from God, be Fallen, and still live in a Paradise without consequences.

Everything is running down because of sin.

God has given us a taste of life without Him—a world full of violence, death, suffering,

and disease.

In summary, God is allowing us to experience what we wanted—life without God. And we'll be back...

Welcome back. This is our 'In the News' section where we highlight something to do with the creation/evolution

debate in the popular news. So what do we have?

Well here's one called, "Cockroaches use their own internal GPS to get around!"

We'll read certain sections. There's always something about the creation/evolution debate in the news. Always something. I like to scan the news articles all the time.

Well anyway, this one starts- "When navigating your kitchen, cockroaches

likely don't need to stop for directions.

Turns out, the pesky insects have an internal GPS."

The article continues, "To uncover this internal GPS, the researchers put cockroaches through the same experiments

that are used to uncover the navigational brain cell activity in rats.

Placed on a rotating platform, the insects were encircled by a black wall with a single,

removable landmark: a white square.

The cockroaches were then rotated 360 degrees a number of times, in 30-degree increments,

both clockwise and counterclockwise."

Poor dizzy little guys. "'For instance, imagine walking toward a door when the door is there, compared to when it

used to be there, but someone removed it.

It's easier to precisely encode direction when there is some kind of a reference point

we can compare our heading to', lead study author Adrienn Varga, a doctoral student at

Case Western Reserve University, told Live Science in an email.

'Same with cockroaches apparently,' Varga said." And it continues,

"Cell activity peaked when the white card was inserted in the wall, indicating that the

roach's head angled toward the visual reference.

Without the white card, activity in the same brain cells indicated that the roaches knew

their orientation, despite its absence.

Tests also included placing a foil cover over the heads of the cockroaches to block

any visual clues.

Brain activity in the blinded roaches indicated that some brain cells do not need visual cues.

When the foil was removed, the cell activity reflected the roaches' heads shifting toward

the visual reference point.

This suggests that their internal GPS was remapping to include the new visual information,

according to the researchers."

Wow! So cockroaches have GPS systems. Isn't that cool?

I mean the U.S. Department of Defense developed the GPS system we use and got it fully operational in about 1995.

It originally used 24 satellites.

I wonder if that took any intelligence to create? A little bit maybe.

But look at this quote from the article as to where this GPS system came from and they say this,

"The mechanism is likely an example of convergent evolution" Evolution can do anything! "...when distinct animals develop

similar systems independently to manage the same problems."

Because as you read the rest of the article they talk about how a number of animals actually have the ability, this GPS type programming.

Actually Dr Jonathan Sarfati from our US office now, he's in the United States, wrote a book called 'By Design' and in that book he lists several creatures

that do this. You know, the theory of evolution is so instilled into the consciousness of people today,

I mean this was just a popular level article. I'm sure there were millions of people around the world that probably checked out this article.

And does it ever even occur to them? You've got a little bug, its brain is this big, it's got a GPS system and that's just supposed to have evolved ...Through random

processes over millions of years that just happened. Amazing. And creation is an inferior explanation for that?

Its amazing. Well creation isn't even mentioned in the article right? As is normally the case with these new scientific discoveries

the option that maybe there is another explanation that could account for this GPS ability in these cockroaches brain there

Its never even mentioned so evolution must have done it.

Its no wonder that people only come to that conclusion if that's the only thing they ever get talked about.

In Creation magazine you'll read about these kinds of amazing scientific discoveries but we don't censor out the biblical response.

We'll tell you what the evolutionists have said, in a lot of cases we're commenting in the magazine on article like this, and then we give a much superior explanation

from the Bible. The Bible's history just makes so much more sense of the science.

Come on back next week, we're talking about the Lost Squadron. If you don't know what that is you'll have to tune in next week. See you then...

8 Words That Can Change Your Life. Law of Attraction, Money Magnet, Subconscious Mind Power - Duration: 15:02.

Eight words that can transform your life.

A few years ago, I was asked to answer this question on a radio program: "What is the

biggest lesson you have ever learned?"

That was easy: by far the most vital lesson I have ever learned is the importance of what

we think. If I knew what you think, I would know what you

are. Our thoughts make us what we are. Our mental

attitude is the X factor that determines our fate. Emerson said: "A man is what he thinks

about all day long." How could he possibly be anything else?

I now know with a conviction beyond all doubt that the biggest problem you and I have to

deal with, in fact, almost the only problem we have to deal

with, is choosing the right thoughts. If we can do that,

we will be on the high road to solving all our problems. The great philosopher who ruled

the Roman Empire, Marcus Aurelius, summed it up in eight

words, eight words that can determine your destiny:

"Our life is what our thoughts make it."

Yes, if we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we

will be miserable. If we think fear thoughts, we will

be fearful. If we think sickly thoughts, we will probably

be ill. If we think failure, we will certainly fail. If we wallow in self-pity, everyone

will want to shun us and avoid us. "You are not," said Norman

Vincent Peale, "you are not what you think you are; but

what you think, you are."

Am I advocating an habitual Pollyanna attitude toward all our problems? No, unfortunately,

life isn't so simple as all that. But I am advocating

that we assume a positive attitude instead of a negative

attitude. In other words, we need to be concerned about our problems, but not worried. What

is the difference between concern and worry? Let

me illustrate. Every time I cross the traffic-jammed streets

of New York, I am concerned about what I am doing, but not worried. Concern means realising

what the problems are and calmly taking steps to

meet them. Worrying means going around in maddening,

futile circles.

Years ago, I read a little book that had a lasting and profound effect on my life. It

was called As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and here's what it

said: "A man will find that as he alters his thoughts

towards things and other people, things and other people

will alter towards him. Let a man radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished

at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material

conditions of his life. Men do not attract that which they

want, but that which they are. The divinity that shapes our ends is in ourselves. It is

our very self. All that a man achieves is the direct result

of his own thoughts. A man can only rise, conquer and

achieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can only remain weak and abject and miserable

by refusing to lift up his thoughts."

So let us remember these words of William James: "Much of what we call evil can often

be converted into a bracing and tonic good by

a simple change of the sufferer's inner attitude from one of

fear to one of fight."

Let's fight for our happiness! Let's fight for our happiness by following

a daily program of cheerful and constructive thinking.

Here is such a program. It is entitled "Just for Today". I found this program so inspiring

that I gave away hundreds of copies.

Just for today. One. Just for today I will be happy. This

assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that "most

folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Happiness is from within; it

is not a matter of externals.

Two. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything

to my own desires. I will take my family, my business,

and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.

Three. Just for today I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it,

nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine

for my bidding. Four. Just for today I will try to strengthen

my mind. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental

loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

Five. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn

and not get found out. I will do at least two things I

don't want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise.

Six. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly

as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise,

criticise not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try

to regulate nor improve anyone. Seven. Just for today I will try to live through

this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I

can do things for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep them up for a lifetime.

Eight. Just for today I will have a program. I will write down what I expect to do every

hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It

will eliminate two pests, hurrying and indecision. Nine. Just for today I will have a quiet half

hour all by myself and relax. In this half hour sometimes I will

think of God, so as to get a little more perspective into my life.

Ten. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy

what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those

I love, love me.

Milton in his blindness discovered that same truth three hundred years ago.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

Napoleon and Helen Keller are perfect illustrations of Milton's statement: Napoleon had everything

men usually crave - glory, power, riches, yet he said at St. Helena: "I have never known

six happy days in my life"; while Helen Keller - blind, deaf,

dumb, declared "I have found life so beautiful." If half a century of living has taught me

anything at all, it has taught me that "Nothing can bring you

peace but yourself."

I am merely trying to repeat what Emerson said so well in the closing words of his essay

on "Self Reliance" "A political victory, a rise in

rents, the recovery of your sick, or the return of your absent

friend, or some other quite external event, raises your spirits, and you think good days

are preparing for you. Do not believe it. It can never be

so. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." Epictetus, the great Stoic philosopher, warned

that we ought to be more concerned about removing wrong thoughts from the mind than about removing

"tumours and abscesses from the body."

Epictetus said that nineteen centuries ago, but modern medicine would back him up. Dr.

G. Canby Robinson declared that four out of five patients

admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital were suffering from conditions brought on in part by emotional

strains and stresses. This was often true even in cases

of organic disturbances. "Eventually," he declared, "these trace back to maladjustments

to life and its problems."

Montaigne, the great French philosopher, adopted these seventeen words as the motto of his

life: "A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as

by his opinion of what happens." And our opinion of

what happens is entirely up to us.

What do I mean? Have I the colossal effrontery to tell you to your face, when you are mowed

down by troubles, and your nerves are sticking out

like wires and curling up at the ends, have I the colossal

effrontery to tell you that, under those conditions, you can change your mental attitude by an

effort of will? Yes, I mean precisely that! And that

is not all. I am going to show you how to do it. It may take a

little effort, but the secret is simple.

William James, who has never been topped in his knowledge of practical psychology, once

made this observation: "Action seems to follow feeling,

but really action and feeling go together; and by

regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly

regulate the feeling, which is not."

In other words, William James tells us that we cannot instantly change our emotions just

by "making up our minds to" but that we can change our

actions. And that when we change our actions, we will

automatically change our feelings.

"Thus," he explains, "The sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if your cheerfulness

be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as

if cheerfulness were already there." Does that simple trick work? Try it yourself.

Put a big, broad, honest-to-God smile on your face; throw back your shoulders;

take a good, deep breath; and sing a snatch of

song. If you can't sing, whistle. If you can't whistle, hum. You will quickly discover what

William James was talking about, that it is physically

impossible to remain blue or depressed while you are

acting out the symptoms of being radiantly happy!

This is one of the little basic truths of nature that can easily work miracles in all

our lives.

A man can be concerned about his serious problems and still walk with his chin up and a carnation

in his buttonhole.

I have seen Lowell Thomas do just that. I once had the privilege of being associated

with Lowell Thomas in presenting his famous films on the Allenby-Lawrence campaigns in

World War I. He and his assistants had photographed

the war on half a dozen fronts; and, best of all, had

brought back a pictorial record of T. E. Lawrence and his colourful Arabian army, and a film

record of Allenby's conquest of the Holy Land. His illustrated

talks entitled "With Allenby in Palestine and

Lawrence in Arabia" were a sensation in London, and around the world. The London opera season

was postponed for six weeks so that he could continue

telling his tale of high adventure and showing his

pictures at Covent Garden Royal Opera House. After his sensational success in London came

a triumphant tour of many countries. Then he

spent two years preparing a film record of life in India and

Afghanistan. After a lot of incredibly bad luck, the impossible happened: he found himself

broke in London. I was with him at the time.

I remember we had to eat cheap meals at the Lions Cornerhouse restaurants. We couldn't

have eaten even there if Mr. Thomas had not borrowed money from a Scotsman, James

McBey, the renowned artist. Here is the point of the

story: even when Lowell Thomas was facing huge debts and severe disappointments, he

was concerned, but not worried. He knew that if

he let his reverses get him down, he would be worthless to

everyone, including his creditors. So each morning before he started out, he bought a

flower, put it in his buttonhole, and went swinging down Oxford

Street with his head high and his step spirited. He

thought positive, courageous thoughts and refused to let defeat defeat him. To him,

being licked was all part of the game, the useful training

you had to expect if you wanted to get to the top.

Our mental attitude has an almost unbelievable effect even on our physical powers. The famous

British psychiatrist, J. A. Hadfield, gives a striking illustration of that fact in his

splendid 54 page booklet, The Psychology of Power. "I asked three men,"

he writes, "to submit themselves to test the effect of mental

suggestion on their strength, which was measured by gripping a dynamometer." He told them to

grip the dynamometer with all their might. He had

them do this under three different sets of conditions.

When he tested them under normal waking conditions, their average grip was 101 pounds.

When he tested them after he had hypnotised them and told them that they were very weak,

they could grip only 29 pounds, less than a third of

their normal strength. One of these men was a prize fighter;

and when he was told under hypnosis that he was weak, he remarked that his arm felt "tiny,

just like a baby's".

When Captain Hadfield then tested these men a third time, telling them under hypnosis

that they were very strong, they were able to grip an average

of 142 pounds. When their minds were filled with

positive thoughts of strength, they increased their actual physical powers almost fifty

per cent. Such is the incredible power of our mental

attitude.

I'm deeply convinced that our peace of mind and the joy we get out of living depends not

on where we are, or what we have, or who we are, but

solely upon our mental attitude. Outward conditions have

very little to do with it.

If we want to develop a mental attitude that will bring us peace and happiness, here is

Rule 1: Think and act cheerfully, and you will feel

cheerful.

SHOCKING Ways Nuclear Explosions Can DESTROY Your Body - Duration: 5:20.

Nuclear war.

It's a term that's associated with annihilation, devastation, and perhaps the end of life on

earth.

Modern humankind had never heard about or experienced the horrific aftermath of a nuclear

explosion until the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Now, 70 years later, the world has a combined arsenal of 15,000 nuclear weapons across 9

countries.

The true horror of nuclear explosions is not solely in the instantaneous, or short-term

devastation that it causes, but in the longevity of its impact, which can cause deadly harm

for generations following the blast.

The consequences of a nuclear explosion include radioactive fallout and other environmental

effects; inflicting damage on all life that lasts from milliseconds to decades.

The effects are calculated from the point of explosion, also known as "ground zero".

There is a difference between reactor accidents and a detonation of a nuclear weapon explosion;

nuclear weapons have high concentrations of uranium or plutonium isotopes while nuclear

reactor power plants have very little or none.

At first, the pressure wave, or overpressure, from the explosion radiates outward which

produces sudden changes in the air pressure so strong that it could crush or knock down

objects, and even destroy large buildings.

The intensity of the explosion depends on the height of the burst above ground level.

It has a similar effect to a two-second flash from a huge sunlamp.

Since the thermal radiation travels similarly to the speed of light, the visible light produces

"flash blindness".

With a 1 Megaton bomb people as far away as 24km will be affected (on a clear sunny day).

Flash blindness usually only lasts a few minutes, but When the flash is focused through the

lens of the eye, it will result in permanent retinal damage.

Within minutes of the nuclear explosion.

90% of the fatality will be due to burns from thermal radiation and 10% due to super-lethal

radiation exposure from ionizing radiation.

People can suffer from third-degree burns as far as 8km from the point of explosion!

When 24 percent of the body suffers from a third-degree burn or, when 30 percent of the

body suffers from a second-degree burn, it is possible to suffer from serious shock which

could be fatal without immediate specialized medical assistance.

According to data, a single nuclear weapon explosion could produce more than 10,000 burn

patients.

In the days and weeks following the blast, radiation poisoning will be the most potent

killer.

There are numerous lethal radiation syndromes, including bone marrow death, central nervous

system death, and gastrointestinal death.

Areas of the body particularly susceptible to radiation are Skin (which can experience

blistering, flaking, hair loss), Lungs(which can suffer from occlusion, edema, inflammation

and lead to pulmonary insufficiency and death), ass well as male and female Reproductive organs

(potentially leading to permanent sterility)

Long after the acute effects of radiation have subsided, radiation damage continues

to produce a wide range of complications, depending on the amount of radiation the person

was exposed to.

These effects appear two, three, even ten years later.

According to Japanese data, there was an increase in anemia among persons exposed to the bomb.

In some cases, the decrease in white and red blood cells lasted for up to ten years after

the bombing.

Ionizing radiation above a dose of around 50-100 Millisievert exposure has been shown

to significantly increase the likelihood of dying of cancer due to its mutating effect

on DNA.

A significant correlation between exposure level and degree of incidence has been reported

for leukemia, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and cancer of the salivary gland.

Often years pass before radiation-caused malignancies appear, like 2 years on average for leukemia

and 10 years for skin and lung cancers.

Beginning in early 1946, scar tissue covering healed burns began to swell and grow abnormally.

Mounds of raised and twisted flesh, called keloids, were found in 50 to 60 percent of

those burned by direct exposure to the heat rays within 1.2 miles of the hypocenter.

There was also an increase in cataract in the survivors at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, even

those who were who were partially shielded.

A single nuclear explosion can also harm the population decades into the future!

Exposure to radiation in the first trimester can cause the lifetime risk of fatal cancer

in the child to increase from 25% to 100%!

In 1995, research conducted by Nagasaki doctors found that 7000 of the survivors had a high

incidence of depression or PTSD, 50 years after the bombings.

Scientists estimate that if 100-Hiroshima sized nuclear bombs exploded, tens of millions

of people would die from climate changes alone.

The soot rising into the atmosphere would block out any sunlight for years, leading

us into a nuclear winter where another study estimated would lead to as many as 2 BILLION

people dying of famine.

So there you go.

Those effects came from what humans were capable more than 70 years ago.

Now, with more and more powerful and devastating weapons being constructed and tensions running

high, humankind may be closer than ever to the brink of self-destruction and extinction.

Dropping the Hammer - Jack Marshall Can't Do This - Webseries - Episode 13 - Duration: 6:17.

We have a problem.

After the incidents in the last video,

I decided I would run the camera in the library all night to see if I could pick up anything and...

Success!

Well, I'm not happy about it but,

you know what, just take a look.

[muffled footsteps]

It's creepy, right?

Like spine-tingling, hair-raising

I didn't sleep all night once I saw that video kind of creepy.

If that's House on the video, then why is he sneaking around at 2:00 a.m. in the dark?

And if it's not House, who is it?

I think it's time I put on my detective hat.

I don't have a hat, so work with me.

P. I. Jack Marshall on the case.

These are for your friend, you say?

Donni. She's my best friend and my cousin on my mom's side who's - -

- -doesn't matter.

She's on a research expedition in northern Alaska and there's nothing to do up there, so...

I'm not sure why she'd want to know about me.

Well, you, the house, the actual house, the whole situation.

So, you said that you've been working for my aunt for almost five years.

Yes, yes, that's correct.

(O.S.) What's that?

Um, I said how long have you worked for the estate?

About five or six years.

You said there's no heat coming out of here at all?

No, doesn't feel like it, but I haven't used it until now.

You know, since it's getting colder I wanted to get it fixed.

So, what's your typical day like?

Not very interesting, I'm afraid.

I go somewhere. I fix something. Go somewhere else, fix another thing.

It usually involves a trip to the market and uh, the post office and, um...

Sometimes, I just sit in my truck.

So, how many people would you say have business with the estate?

A half a dozen, perhaps.

Really?

The cleaners, the postman - -

The cleaners?

Once a week.

Uh, when would you say they come?

Before you're awake, I'm afraid.

So, how often would you say you're here for maintenance?

(O.S.) Whenever your man calls me. I'm not on a schedule.

After brushing my teeth, I check all the doors and windows in the house, including the cellar.

Generally speaking?

Once, twice a week.

Mr. Morgan, he's here nearly every day of the week.

Is he? Oh, that reminds me.

I found this the other day. You think it's his?

Why, I can't say for sure. I could ask him if you'd like.

Oh, no, no, I got this.

I came across this earlier in the week. Is it yours?

Mine? No. I have my own.

Oh, wow, that's so shiny. It's, just, brand-new.

Well, this must belong to the house then.

I try to be in bed by 10:30 each night but,

if I'm reading an especially good book like Walden - -

- - Oh, you know what, I think we have more than enough.

Nope, yep, we got it.

Heater's back up and running.

You're a miracle worker.

Been fixing things a long time.

I'll bet you have.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out when something's been broken on purpose.

I don't know if I follow.

Been thinking about that brick that came through your kitchen window.

Really?

Someone would have to be awfully close to bust that thing through the glass.

Mm-hmm.

If I were you, I wouldn't feel safe here.

Some might think twice about being a sitting duck.

Well, you're only a sitting duck if you choose to be.

So, thanks for fixing the heater.

Jack.

Okay, so, what did we learn?

The hammer is definitely Morgan's.

The tags are practically still on his new one.

So, is that him on the video?

I don't know, but he definitely caught on to my little stunt with the pipes.

The real question is, what is he looking for?

And House is either clueless or an accomplished liar.

Although I don't know what he would lie about. He's so boring.

And the more people that have access to the house, the harder it is to keep an eye on everybody.

Although at this point I think I trust the faceless cleaning crew more than I trust Morgan or House.

And in the interest of not being a sitting duck,

I think it's time for some upgrades.

This little operation is getting a surveillance package.

Although I do have to figure out how to

install the equipment without being seen.

Something tells me the middle of the night might not be our safest bet.

But, once the cameras are up, I think we'll have a better understanding of who's in the house

and what they're up to.

Or we'll have exclusive access to House's weekly musings on Thoreau.

Win-win?

Virtual Reality and How it Can Help Your Organization - Duration: 6:51.

On this episode of the vlog we're talking about virtual reality and how it can help your organization today

Now the reality is people think virtual reality is something

that's way out there in the future, but the truth is it's here today.

Now people are consuming virtual reality in their homes you might have been

to a conference or convention or somebody had a booth set up.

So you can begin testing virtual reality today

but the reality is these technologies are moving quickly

and the way you're going to be able to use these tomorrow

is gonna be enhanced by how you begin utilizing today.

So I'm gonna give you three steps you can take today to get started with virtual reality

and actually creating virtual reality content.

So step one is you've got to get a headset. This is one

I paid about $20 for on Amazon

and you can just take your smartphone put it right in here and begin consuming virtual reality content.

It's not that expensive, you can good

just go to Amazon search virtual reality headset

and you'll find one similar to these or maybe the exact same one I had an affordable price.

You don't need to pay more than fifteen or twenty dollars.

Get a virtual reality headset and begin testing it today.

Step two is you need to download some virtual reality apps on your smartphone.

So I have an iPhone and there's lots of apps out there

so if you just search VR in the store, I want to share with you my three

favourite VR apps right here in the iPhone, my first is

the Within app

W I T H I N

search that in the app store

and there's lots of videos that you can begin

downloading from the Within app and really begin seeing some creative uses of virtual reality

right there in your mobile phone the next app that I want to recommend is the Fibrum

Rollercoaster App

F I B R U M

Rollercoaster App

This might seem silly and it kind of is, it's essentially just a virtual roller coaster that you can go on when you're

in your phone with your headset

This is my kids favorite app.

They love to do it almost every night put on the headset go on a virtual roller coaster

It's a lot of fun in virtual reality is made to be that way

When we use media people like engaging in fun activities.

I think we'll just give you a great idea of what's possible

with virtual reality

Now the last app that I want to recommend to you is from my church

Hillsong Church

so if you go to Hillsong

VR in the app store and download that app you could see some of their worship songs that they've created an

experience for in virtual reality. Now I think that the advantage to this app

It's just like many other apps as it gives you different perspectives of

how people are using virtual reality to engage people in creative experiences

So now that you have a way to watch a VR and you've tested a few apps the next step is to begin

Creating VR, so here's the cool thing you can get a stick

Just like this and so this is a little virtual reality camera

you can see as to camera angle, cameras on it that connect not to make a

360 degree videos, this camera is less than $200

There's many options like this out there, and it will connect right into my iPhone.

You can see the little plug in right there.

I can actually

livestream virtual reality from my phone

anytime

anywhere

Now these cameras are great for taking pictures doing videos

but there are no limitations to you being able to create virtual reality content

easily and excessively through your mobile device

I've cut taken videos on this uploaded right to Facebook or uploaded it right to YouTube

and people can now consume

this content in virtual reality, so as you begin to see virtual reality content

engage with it in a very practical way, then you should begin creating content and

finding opportunities to create content.

You know I've done videos like I recorded my daughter's baptism, a lot of people have watched that on YouTube

and I've sent it to family members so they can watch my daughter get baptized and then they can watch

me watch my daughter baptized or watch my wife

watch her get baptized, there are many different experiences

You look at sports, the sports are very popular way that people are using virtual reality that they're watching

the activity and they could watch the scoreboard if they choose to, or they can watch the bench if they want to.

You're choosing your own experience when you watch that video content, so virtual reality is very creative

and then there's the animated time

And that's why I sent you to the Roller Coaster App

because they're animated opportunities, now those are more complex, more complicated

but there are those opportunities to create virtual experiences

utilizing not just a rectangular screen in front of you

but a full scope of what somebody could be viewing as they put on a virtual reality headset.

So the future is wide open, the future is exciting in the future is a virtual reality

and so I hope you'll begin engaging in the future today. I hope this vlog was helpful for you

If you have a great link to a great virtual reality headset or some great apps or some great cameras

I hope you'll link those up. I want to share one last thought before I let you go on this vlog

Facebook made a big deal about virtual reality

at last year's f8 conference, they actually gave everybody a 360 camera

No, I missed it. I was actually checking out the oculus rift headset

I had to go sign up to get it mailed to me later. I moved to New York. I didn't get it

I'm not mad at you Facebook. I'm just disappointed. I'm not really that disappointed. I appreciate the conference

I am a little bummed

but Facebook basically gave everybody a 360 camera because they said people loved

360 videos on Facebook we need more of them we want to encourage you to create more of them

so we're gonna give everybody a camera.

So this tells us that Facebook sees that people like 360 cameras

Facebook has two billion active users over 50% of their content is video.

They know what people want, people want 360 video

I think you need to create it if you weren't already convinced. I hope that helps

They also are investing in oculus rift and creating 360 video cameras themselves

and so I hope you will invest in the same future that Facebook is investing in begin creating content

and then the last thing when it comes to Facebook is that Facebook is also created

this is what I was demoing when I missed getting the camera is Facebook spaces

Facebook spaces is social VR

It's a social experience where people to do virtual reality together. It is very futuristic

it is almost it actually is weird, but it's cool and

More people are going to be doing it in the future. It's a part of the future.

This is going somewhere get started with it today.

Thanks for watching the vlog. I can't wait to comment connect with in the comments.

Can Indoor Training Lead To Injury? | The GTN Show Ep. 11 - Duration: 15:54.

- Hi, I'm Leanda Cave and you're watching the GTN show.

(uplifting electronic music)

- This is the GTN show, welcome.

With just one big race left to go this season,

we're going to be looking ahead

at the XTERRA World Championships

as well as covering last weekend's racing results.

- We also have news from a recent study

that may change the way that you run on a treadmill,

as well as the GTN Pain Cave, caption competition, and more.

- Well, we're obviously back in the set.

I've just about recovered from my race

and Mark is back in good health, which is cool to see.

- Yeah, we had a fantastic week out in Kona,

we actually got to meet a lot of you out there

which is fantastic, and we got to experience Hawaii

for the first time, the big island

that everyone talks about.

How did you find it?

- Yeah, it was amazing.

I mean, it's one of those things in triathlon

is iconic, and having got to race it

I see why it's so iconic now.

I'm definitely having a bit of a break from training,

and enjoying that and enjoying actually

getting to see a little bit of island

which was cool. - Yeah.

- But, some amazing performances which leads us on

to our weekly poll. - Yeah, I mean,

we were blown away by Patrick Lange's performance.

He's getting ever so close to breaking that eight hour mark

which is why we asked last week,

will the eight hour mark ever be broken by the men?

And we have some results here for you.

- We do, and it was a pretty large percent of you

who said yes, it will, 97% are sure

that it's going to be broken.

And in the comments, actually, it was interesting to see

there were some predictions as to who it might be

and we've yet to see Javier Gomez and Alistair Brownlee

step up to the big distance, but many of you think

they could be the ones to do the sub-eight hour in Kona.

- This week, we are interested to find out

which world title means the most to you guys.

Is it the Ironman World Champion, the Ironman 70.3

World Champion, the ITU World Champion,

XTERRA World Champion, which is coming up this weekend,

or the ITU Long Distance World Champion.

What are you thinking?

- Well, I mean, that's a big choice to go from,

but there's actually even more races out there than that.

We're gonna focus on those, and for me,

two jump out: it's the ITU World Champs or the Ironman

World Champs, and I think I'm slightly biassed

towards Ironman, just cause I've raced that distance.

But outside of my personal experience, I think

it is the longer race, you can't do as many of them

in a season, it's so specialist, that distance.

So yeah, I'm gonna go with Ironman, what about you?

- I can understand that, and we did witness you suffer

for 11 hours out in Hawaii, but no, in all seriousness,

I do think Ironman 70.3 doesn't get enough credit

for actually how tough it is.

It's four hours, flat out, and you see athletes

specialising for that now, but again,

maybe I'm a bit biassed cause that's what I specialised on,

and I've never done an Ironman.

But I did come from ITU racing short distance,

and that is pretty tough as well,

and those guys also go to the Olympics,

they are class athletes.

Yeah, I think my vote lies in the ITU short distance.

- Okay, well, I think we'll have to ask you again

when you've done a full Ironman, Mark.

Well, we'd love to know what your thoughts are,

so do vote in the poll above my head.

- Well, this weekend, we have the final

triathlon world championships of the season,

and all eyes head back to Hawaii

but this time to the island of Maui

for the XTERRA World Champs, and we have

quite a mix of athletes in both the men and women's

pro fields with ITU athletes, Ironman athletes,

Ironman 70.3 athletes, and obviously,

the cross country XTERRA specialists, and Heather,

what's going to happen in the women's race?

- Well, I mean, the one to beat has to be Flora Duffy.

She's the three times winner out there

and she's recently crowned ITU world champion

and she has managed to mix in some mountain bike

training throughout her season, and that's,

you know, what is so key for the XTERRA,

is the skills on the mountain bike.

So, I mean, she's by far the one that everyone's

going to be watching, but Leslie Patterson

could give her a run for her money,

she's gonna be starting there for the eighth time,

and out of seven starts, she's actually had

four second places and two wins,

so pretty consistent on the island.

- I know she was out for a bit cause of lung disease,

isn't it? - I think so.

- Yeah, so, and I've heard she's back strong as well.

- Yeah, so, I mean, she could well be one to at least

push Flora, potentially threaten her.

Also, Laura Philipp, who's been specialising in 70.3

and got the bronze in Chattanooga.

Since then, she's been moving her sights to the XTERRA

and focusing on her mountain biking skills,

so she's one to watch along with Barbara Riveros,

who, the last couple of years, has been injured just before.

She's been on the podium in the past,

so she'll be looking to get back on there for sure.

So it's looking a strong field on the women's side.

What's it look like on the men's?

- Well, we've got the top seven finishers from last year

competing again, so, again, seriously competitive.

And of those seven, we've also got two finishers

from the men's pro field in Kona.

We got Ben Hoffman, who came ninth in Kona

and actually seventh in Maui last year.

Also, we got Braden Currie, who's gonna be

doubling up for the first time.

And actually, he's an XTERRA podium finisher

in the past, but the big name we're looking out for

is the defending champion, Mauricio Mendez,

who has been in incredible shape,

so he's definitely the strong favourite going in.

But we've also got strong cyclist Ruben Ruzafa,

who's actually lead going on to the run

the last four occasions, he's won it in the past

but last year he was actually passed by Mendez

and Ben Allen to finish third, so he's

definitely going to be trying to go for the win.

So a really exciting race for this weekend.

- Another race coming up this weekend

is the Jurien Bay Clouds to Coast Triathlon,

which is not quite an XTERRA, but it's extreme

in it's own way.

- It's certainly unique.

It starts with a skydive, you swim to shore,

bike, and then run.

I'm certainly gonna try and get my entry in

for next year.

- Yeah, I think that's on the bucket list.

- Okay, moving on from sky diving triathlons,

and this study caught our eye.

Let's face it, running can be a little bit

uncomfortable at times, so we sometimes look

for a bit of distraction, and if you're running on the

treadmill, that distraction could be watching TV,

but, apparently, it could be causing you injuries.

- Yeah, you're right.

According to the University of Nottingham Trent

and the University of Valencia,

they have discovered that by running on a treadmill

and looking at something, like a TV in your gym

instead of looking naturally just ahead of you,

changes the position and the style that you're running in,

and it makes you higher, and then apparently you're lifting

your feet higher as a result, and therefore,

more impact on your joints, it's your ankles and knees.

And I mean, that makes sense, but I was also thinking

it was going to just change your body position,

make your more upright, and mean more of a hill stripe,

but I guess both means more impact, so maybe not so good.

- Well, do you think we should tell Lionel Sanders?

- I'll leave you to that one.

- Well, it is an interesting topic because Lionel

just came second at the Ironman World Championships,

and it's quite well known he does pretty much

all his training indoors. - [Heather] That's insane.

- Five to six hour turbo rides, two to three hour

treadmill runs, and he's even got an endless pool now.

- I know, I mean, it's not just him.

Lucy Charles, another second placer at the Ironman

World Champs, and she's a big advocate for indoor training,

so it'll be interesting to see if they have a look

at this research and maybe change

where they position their TV, who knows?

- Yeah, I mean, and they're not alone.

There's a lot of professional triathletes that are

big advocates of the indoor training.

I mean, I guess there's a lot behind

sort of the quality without being disrupted whilst training,

just get on with it really. - Yeah, yeah.

- And Training Peaks have actually just put up

Lionel's power far from the Ironman World Champs,

where he held a normalised power of 313 watts

for over four hours, and then ran off really well.

- That's impressive.

- Yeah, that's enough to sell indoor training to me.

- It is, but we'd love to know what you think

and whether indoor training is for you.

Do leave your comments in the section below.

Last week, we brought you the sad news that

Tim Don and Matt Russell got knocked off their bikes

at the Ironman World Championships in separate incidents.

And at the time, we knew that Tim Don was already

recovering well, but since then, we've heard that

Matt Russell, even though he was rushed to hospital,

he's actually going to be okay

and he's making a speedy recovery.

- Yeah, best wishes to both of them.

But moving on, and actually staying with

the Ironman World Championships, this one is for

the triathlon geeks out there, that includes me.

Every year, some experts in the industry head out to Hawaii

to count all the bike brands and the equipment brands

of the athletes that are competing

in the Ironman World Champs.

- Wow, that's a lot of counting.

That does need quite a lot of patience,

I think I'd leave that one to you, Mark.

- Yeah, to be honest, I think I'd pass as well.

But we do have a lot of results here for you,

so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to grab my laptop for this.

And, can I have a drumroll please, Heather?

- Okay.

- Alright, and with the bike brands, the top bike brand,

for another year running was Cervelo.

And then on the wheels, it was Zipp Wheels again,

for another year running.

Components went to Shimano, pedals, Shimano as well.

Power metres was Quarq, helmets, Rudy Project,

which again, for another year running.

Saddles, ISM, aero bars, Profile Design,

who also got front hydration as well.

And then rear hydration went to Xlab,

as well as frame hydration to Xlab.

- Sounds like we're at the Oscars

as you read out all the winners.

- Well, I enjoyed it, anyway.

And that geeky bit of news concludes our triathlon news.

Okay, now it's time for the caption competition,

and last week we had quite a funny photo of Heather

lying on the tarmac out in Hawaii.

We had some great captions coming in,

to kick things off, here's one from Supernpstr.

Firstly, it said, "Congratulations Heather,

Awesome result, awesome job." - [Heather] Thanks Supernpstr.

- Their caption was, "That's what you call

on the ground reporting."

- I like it, it's a tough one this week.

There's one more, and it is Andrew Tabberer,

who says, "I may be a Kona finisher

but I'm still down to Earth."

Now, Andrew, you do win this week's caption competition

so please send in your details to get your free cap.

- Yeah, just get in touch over Facebook,

but this week's photo from the Ironman 70.3

World Champs was of Gomez on the podium

drinking out of a shoe.

- [Heather] I guess it's one way to make sure

no one steals your drink.

- And we're looking forward to hearing your captions

as well, so please leave them in the comments below.

- And now for comments of the week.

And we've chosen a couple that caught our eye.

The first one is from the video

How to Set Up Your Hydration System, and Matt Dion

says, "I go for chocolate milk between the bars

and hard liquor behind the saddle."

I guess that's a quick way to get your recovery in,

as soon as you finish training, you just

take the chocolate milk out.

- And the hard liquor to numb that pain from the race

or the training? - Each to their own, Mark.

- Yeah, well, on the Triathlon Jargon video,

we had quite a few funny suggestions,

and this one from Stian Pollestad,

he said, "NA: Never Again."

I can definitely relate to that

from some training sessions and races.

- Yeah, I think that's useful, and I might

suggest that to my coach, I can put on

my training programme next time.

- Well, please keep your comments coming in,

and just drop them in the comments below.

- On to race news, and this time of the season

it's a bit quiter and then we've had an added cancellation

from last weekend at New Orleans, the 70.3 there had to be

cancelled due to bad weather, and they couldn't even manage

to shorten the goals, which was a shame.

- Well, we did have Ironman 70.3 in Miami,

and actually Igor Amorelli, who placed 14th

at the Ironman World Champs, was back racing

just a week later, and he exited the swim

with a minute deficit but turned that into a

three minute lead off the bike, and then took the win

with a five minute lead over second.

Second place went to Franz Loeschke,

and then third was Paulo Roberto Maciel.

- Well, on the women's side,

it was Ellie Salthouse, who after several months

out with an injury, she was delighted just to be

back on the start lane, and dominated.

But it was more about consistent performance,

so she was second in each individual discipline,

the swim, the bike, and the run,

which gave her the overall win ahead of

Angela Naeth of Canada and then

Sarah Lewis of Great Britain came third.

- Now for GTN Pain Cave, where we ask you to

send in photos of your own Pain Caves,

and to kick things off, we have one here

from Andrew Griffiths, and he's got his bike set up

on his turbo, and, most importantly, he has a GTN towel.

- [Heather] Most importantly, for sure.

I do like the fact that it's resting on a swivel arm chair,

so whether that's where he'd sit his coach

if he's lucky enough to have his own coach--

- Maybe his wife?

A bit of time spent together whilst he's training.

- That's one way. - Moving on,

something less glamorous, we have one here

from Paul Murphy and, let's be honest,

this is probably something I can relate with.

I have to cram my turbo into a fairly tight space,

so yeah, this shot shows it's not always nice and pretty.

- As long as it's practical.

- He's getting the job done.

- And he's using, I think, could be a freezer

to put his laptop on top of, it's very much improvised,

I like it. - Yeah.

And finally, here's one from Charlie Pennington,

he sent in over Twitter, and we do actually know

Charlie came fifth in Kona at the Ironman World Champs,

so congratulations Charlie. - Yeah, in his age group.

- And we can see why, he's got a very impressive set up.

Projector on the wall, and then another screen.

- And then just quite a few bikes,

showing off with those in the corner there.

- Yeah, and that's only the ones that we can see.

So yeah, fantastic. Please keep your GTN Pain Cave's

coming in over Facebook or over Twitter

using the hashtag #GTNPAINCAVE.

- With the XTERRA World Championships coming up

this weekend, we thought we'd make it a bit of a

mountain biking special for the triathlon zone,

and we've picked out a few of our faves,

including this one from Matt Barton,

which was from the XTERRA Utah and, what's here, Mark?

- Well, it looks like a very clean transition.

In fact, I can't actually see any run shoes,

so perhaps it is a split transition,

T1 and T2 in different locations?

Very clean for an offroad track, but anyway.

And here's one from Doug Hall from the

XTERRA European Champs, he sent this one in over Twitter.

In fact, Doug was actually racing in the Elite race,

and it's a very clean looking bike.

It's a titanium frame, very smart.

- I like it. - Very nice.

And then finally, moving on--

- Oh, this is a little bit different.

It is a mountain bike, but actually,

you probably can spot in the background there are a few

road bikes, so this isn't an XTERRA triathlon

but we thought, as it's mighty fine, we'll give it a shot.

It's Els Kooi and basically very proud of the

rainbow towel, it's all very colourful, that setup.

- Yeah, even a picnic bag.

- I like that.

- So probably not the quickest transition,

just like she's there to make sure she's comfortable

and ready to go, but yeah, please keep your

transition zone photos coming in over Facebook and Twitter.

- Hi, I'm Luke McKenzie, and this is the GTN show.

- So I want to take this opportunity to thank everybody

who left such lovely messages.

Before my race, I had loads of really encouraging

good luck messages wishing me well for the race,

and, to be honest, it did actually help

and I was thinking of all those people

watching it and following it when I was out there,

and then also for the vlog that's just gone out,

there's been some really lovely comments on that,

and do keep them coming if you've not watched it yet.

- Well, that is it for the GTN show.

We're really looking forward to bringing you the results

from the XTERRA World Championships which are this weekend,
