Schooling can become paid.
Hi! The other day the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia Vladimir Zhirinovsky
published on his page in one of the social networks
the message that the study of foreign languages
in schools should become paid in order
not to sponsor a brain drain from Russia.
Logic Vladimir Volfovich, obviously, is this.
Due to the budget, young people receive
a high-quality secondary education,
and after graduation, for various reasons,
are disappointed in their country
and understand that living in another country
will be "definitely" better.
Because of this, the only sure way out of the situation,
the wiser young people,
considers admission to a foreign university or a job at work abroad.
From this side of Zhirinovsky, of course, one can understand.
After all, if a brain drain from Russia passes this way, it is really insulting for the motherland.
In this situation, I, and I'm not afraid to assume that most taxpayers,
the opinion on the inadmissibility of sponsoring the state of brain drain abroad
completely coincides with the opinion of Vladimir Volfovich.
If Zhirinovsky, the head of one of Russia's largest political parties,
proposes such unpopular measures
to protect the intellectual resources of the country,
the situation with the leakage
of young specialists in the country can be described as critical.
In this regard, a mere measure
in the form of the introduction
of paid foreign language instruction in schools,
the problem with the refinement of intelligence in the country,
absolutely, definitely will not be solved.
Dear deputies, I appeal to you:
"An integrated approach is needed here."
First, it is necessary to prohibit all citizens of the country
from the age of zero to 60 years to go abroad.
In general, to the old age,
thoughts of foreign countries never occurred to the head!
Secondly, foreign languages in schools do not need to be taught at all.
Even if somehow someone can go abroad
- it's not scary!
Anyway, he will not understand anything there!
If these measures prove to be insufficient,
then it is necessary to resort to an extreme measure:
it is necessary to prohibit everything altogether.
Let people know only what the government will tell them.
Only in this way will the state guarantee that the people will be happy.
However, dear deputies, seriously, we have already passed all this,
but unfortunately, the bright future of prohibitive tactics, unfortunately, did not bring.
Therefore, preventing people
from building their happy future at home or abroad is not right and not fair.
Are we worse than others?
Politicians are constantly thinking in some way to limit the people,
so that it would be better for him to live from this.
This is nothing strange - it's their job.
Dear friends, love your house, the entrance to your house, the yard of your house,
your city and then you definitely
will not want to leave your country.
Well, if for some reason you still leave it,
you will certainly want to return.

Make Disciples, Only God Can Make A Convert - Duration: 25:59.
hello and welcome again to my channel
Jesus doctrine today I want to talk
about the very very exciting topic of
discipleship Jesus says some very strong
things his final words before he ascends
into the heavens he says in Matthew 28
and he says go therefore and make
disciples of the nations baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit the reason that
Jesus' final of proclamation to his
disciples was not going get converts but
was go and baptize and make disciples is
really important, the reason Jesus is
focusing on this disciples is because
it's through the discipleship program
that you were really going to help
you're really going to bless you really
go into minister you're really gonna see
deliverance is you're really gonna see
transitions taking place in people's
life Jesus never said go and get people
saved and make converts go and make
Christian so that they can fill the
churches Jesus yes he wanted us to be
saved but he wanted us to also be
conformed to the image of his son he
wanted us to have the inheritance, he wanted
us to have the blessing of Jesus but you
can't have that in your life except you
have the likeness of Jesus being formed
and forged in you, being like Jesus
was always the greatest need and
discipleship has always been the means
to fulfill this need now if you're
anything like me you got saved you
started attending church and you kept to
yourself and God began to do mighty
things in your life on your own and it
was just you and Jesus for a while
although you attended the church and
people were there with you
it was very much you in Jesus if you're
that person today I am not telling this
to take anything away from you but even
Paul the Apostle with his dramatic
conversion experience knew the need to
be discipled and he had Barnabas taking
under his wing and take him away for a
season to be built upon he what he
learnt to minister he learned the
scriptures he learned the character of
God yes God was doing something special
this great apostle but he don't need it
to be discipled though he knew the
Scriptures it wasn't enough there was
still a process of spending time with
the Brethren (and God) being accountable to one
another in the brethren to being
sharpened for we know that iron sharpens
by there is essential absolutely
essential!
Discipleship isn't about
knowing the Bible or knowing the
Scriptures perfectly inside and out it's
not that at all
thus like worship is about the
Scriptures being inside of you and
changing who you are you taking on the
nature and the character of Christ oh
that's exciting and so when you get
disciple you're going to be challenged
on the way you think the way you
approach the way that you look and you
are going to challenge other people to
consider why you do that and why you
don't do this and it's part and parcel
of the process both you and the person
disciple in our learning as you go
through the issues and the difficulties
and the challenges of walking out the
Christian life together
discipleship is essential Jesus taught
multitude he preached on the
mountaintops he spoke to crowds even fed
thousands he spent a lot of time
teaching in the synagogue and correcting
the scribes and the Pharisees in public
he spent times always ministering to
crowds however,
this is not the whole
picture of the Ministry of God the
Ministry of Christ also went and he went
into houses and ate with people it went
into a quiet place and he taught men how
to pray you got people to a place where
they were able to ask questions and be
able to have conversation with him to
shape and to challenge who they were he
was able to share things about their
life he was able to reveal things that
he could see in the individuals life it
was not always this corporate experience
of being ministered to for a son there
was a complete of her element of Jesus's
ministry which we call discipleship the
reason that Jesus preached the multitude
is because he could get his message
heard by by thousands at the same time
powerful, but the reason he discipled
only a fear was
you cannot have personal relationships
if everybody you cannot go around
telling everybody your personal
information your personal life your
personal business but when you bring a
group of friends close to you and
there's a mutual trust that's gained in
that shared now you can begin to impart
who you really are your deepest secrets
why you do what you do and when you do
it you can begin to show them the
relationships that you have with your
parents and with your family and with
the Brethren your relationships that you
have with sinners and with the unsaved
as well as with the religious rulers and
teachers of his day Jesus who decide
which it was able to challenge
stereotypes the Samaritans they're
unclean don't go near them he was able
to deal with racism with prejudices with
preconceived ideas about bringing up
swords and fighting the Romans and
establishing a kingdom for our own means
you see it was who discipleship that the
impartation of how to practically live
for Jesus Christ
is shared this is what Jesus did it's
this process that it helps us through
the Holy Ghost to form Christ in us
fully so that we are ready and equipped
for every good work, you see the discipleship
ship is the key now now there's probably
some people watching is thinking oh the
side worships only really needed for
those that are going to be the pastors
or the preachers or those that feel call
or leadto minister or to lead in these
sort of ministries I want to tell you
that is absolute nonsense Jesus says go
into all the nations and make disciples
why because everybody needs discipleship
everybody needs that experience
everybody needs that family structure
around them that close-knit, someone to
speak into their life in a time,
someone to guide them,
someone to guide others,
someone that they can lead and guide.
discipleship is a process it's not
designed to make you a pupil for the
rest of your life but to bring you into
relationships where you're teaching and
when you're learning and when you're
growing not just from your own
experiences but from that of the rest of
the body of Christ for that of the rest
of the local church for that from that
from the experiences of
were Christians even not in your church
around you. Its through discipleship that
you aren't able to grow beyond your own
practical experience this is essential
Jesus was speaking about his disciples
and he said you know what govern
disciple and make disciples and those
disciples will make disciples this is
something that can continue forever
it's perpetual its sustainable this
isn't just a message that helps you this
is about giving people the character
that will help generations to come
and so we've got to be really really
clear that discipleship is essential for
everybody men and women need to be
disciples some of you think all women
aren't disciples Jesus didn't choose the
twelve, Jesus didn't just disciple
those people that would lead the church!
He disciples the people that came to
him that wanted to be discipled, now he
had limits there were some people I
fully acknowledge he says go and tell
somebody about what you see or go back
to the place where you've come from he
did do that why you cannot disciple
everybody there's no two ways about it
Jesus would have been swamped with
thousands of people if everybody could
have been a disciple at the same time
but what Jesus also understood that if
he invests properly in a group of young
men and a group of women that will
invest in other men and over women and
then once those disciples are forged in
May they can disciple in other men and
over women and the longer you a disciple
the less contact time you're probably
going to need with those people that
disciple you freeing them up to disciple
of us this is about perpetuating the
kingdom of God, His righteousness and the
character and the nature of Jesus Christ
in your life.
So you're probably thinking
okay I said a lot about Jesus discipling
in everybody let's have a meet
specifically about Jesus disciple in
women
and so I'm gonna read from you
Luke chapter 10 verse 38 downwards now
it came to pass
I say when's he entered into a certain
village where a woman named Martha
received him into a house she had a
sister called Mary which also said Jesus
feet and heard his words.
stop
so we got two sisters Martha bless her song was a
good sister and she does something that
is very typical of righteous holy
women she opened their home up to Christ
and she allowed Christ into a home she
allowed him to come into her house and
to minister not only to herself but to
her sister Mary and to her family it's
through opening ourselves up the through
the discipleship process that we allow
the blessing of the character change and
the confrontation to become more and
more who God wants us to be to happen in
our life now when they get into the
house something interesting happens Mary
sits at his feet, like anybody would when
they listening to someone is teaching or
guiding or instructing
now let's see what else happens
but Martha was cumbered about much serving and came
about to him and said Lord do you not
care that my sister has left me to serve
alone bid her therefore that she helped
me and jesus answered and said unto her
Martha Martha you are careful and
troubled about many things but
one thing is needful! Mary had chosen a good part
which,
shall not be taken away from her
stop
so Mary he's sitting at the feet of
Jesus whilst her sister a is doing what
women do and they cater, they feed they are
hospitable and they make everybody feel
so welcome in the house.
This was something that was very important
This is something that's crucial today
Christians ought to be hospitable
however, Jesus used even hospitality of
Martha to begin to teach something but,
Sometimes there is a time that you've
got to be still and be and hear the word
of God.
You've got to be still and have a
time to reflect, there's gonna be a
time where you're able to sit at the
Masters feet and have a time for
yourself with God.
He wasn't condemning Martha for her actions,
in fact if Martha had not opened her home then there would
have been no discipleship happening
here because,
discipleship is always a
choice an individual has to open
themselves up and it is clearly Martha's
decision to be disciple that Mary ends
up being blessed.
We need to not condemn this woman here now because,
we need to
understand what's going on but, Jesus uses
Martha was opening a home and Mary sitting
at the feet of Jesus, to be able to show Martha,
'not only do you need to open yourself
but that sometimes you need to sit at
the feet and listen for yourself that
isn't to say that serving isn't an
important role.
Some people make this into gender, saying Jesus was trying to make
everyone a disciple and everyone a
teacher and everyone a preacher.
Discipleship is not about preaching,
discipleship is not about gender,
it's about character and Jesus here is trying
to teach that sometimes opening yourself up
and then being busy about the things of
God, the things of righteousness,
the things that need to be done isn't enough,
sometimes we need to take that time
alone in the same way that Jesus
preached to the multitude and he took
his disciples to quite solitude place,
to pray.
There is something being
taught to men and to women about having
alone personal time, where God is able to
minister to our needs.
Discipleship it's his personal character confrontation us, Now
Jesus wouldn't have been able to do that
to a multitude, he couldn't just up his
sermon and say Martha you're not doing
this,
then Edward you ain't doing that,
Suzanne and you're not doing this,
Norman, Peter, Bartholun follow me you ain't
doing this right but in the smaller
setting he was able to spend the
individual time and minister
individually to people this is what
discipleship is about it's about that
intimacy with God it's about that
intimacy with one another as you reveal
the things on your heart and never feel
the things that God is dealing or gonna
speak to you or speak through you to
another intimacy another proof that
Jesus chose to disciple absolutely
everyone is the fact that Judas of
Iscariot who Jesus knew would betray him
he still chose to take him on board and
disciple him even though he seemed like
such a waste let me tell you this some
other men that I have invested time
following up in that have never made it
for God that I've tried and I've spent
time working and believing God that
they'll be saved and it all some known
to you think those things built me those
things built offers that witnessed it
those things built a multitude of people
you see sometimes we get into this
mindset that we should only work with
people when it's going to work out the
way that we want or when we see the
expected outcomes
we desire that isn't mine discipleship
was for everybody even for those that
were known that they may not make it but
you still try to see what would come
about from this so Judas of a scab it
was called to be a disciple of Jesus
even though jesus knew who's gonna
betray but I tell you this there's a
power for dynamic when people can see
that you're working with people because
you value all people devalue them as
precious and special regardless of what
they do or they're going to do but you
still give them the time of the day and
you still believe God for them it's
empower 'fl thing to minister to people
issues women have often asked me should
they be women's beside worships I'm
gonna kind of try and answer this by
explaining why men's discipleship suffer
men only and why there may or only with
it imagine you've got a male pastor
who's preaching the word but he's not
just preaching the word and men's
discipleship he's opening his whole life
up to you he's exposing his own personal
struggles as a man with his morality
with his decision process with his
thought process with the mistakes that
he's made he's actually going up onto a
pooping and exposing himself and then
opening them for questions so that
people could probe and understand what's
going on inside of his character that
makes him think and see the way that he
does it's a very intimate and a very
very private thing that a man does when
they take someone on to disciple them
when they begin to share their life and
the reason that preachers do this isn't
because they believe that they can
disciple a thousand people in the room
at one go through Minister side Bishop
but they believe that if they can expose
something if they can extend themselves
out and show the experiences and the
times and the challenges and the
questions and the wisdom that they've
gained and the heart and and the deeply
personal things this isn't just what the
Bible says here in the ministry this is
about a man exposing his own life
exposing the life of others men that
he's spoken to this is about sharing of
manhood so that other men can see what
makes a man tick but more than what
makes them tick what processes men need
to go through
what stages what emotions what battles
the in particular those men have been
through an over men are going to go
through in order to make Christ fully
formed in their life and it's always
presented in a male led arena for that
reason you don't you can't have a man
exposing very personal and very intimate
things about his manhood to a woman
that's not his wife it wouldn't be right
it would be wrong in the same things
true of a woman's beside worship however
obviously we don't have women preaching
in the church where I attend and so you
don't see we missus up we ship anywhere
in that sense from a pulpit however even
with the men's type worship and only
with a women's discipleship where you
have this coming together and this
speaking this coming together and this
fellowship in these coming together and
having intimate relationships menses our
bishops are done so that men can come
together the men will group together
that there were way for a day that they
can begin to speak they can begin to
share they begin to pray together
there's a time for it like Martha and
Mary Mary's made time for Jesus men so
side bishops get men away from work from
their children from their families so
that they have time as men to speak and
to fellowship and to share their lives
their experiences their struggles with
one another so that they can be
strengthened it isn't about just the
preaching it's about making up
opportunity for men to feel comfortable
in communicating these things now I've
often seen that women are far better at
coming together in twos or threes or
picking up the phone and sharing their
hearts their feelings and their emotions
and reflecting on what the Word of God
has said and what they should do but
it's not normally the case with men you
normally have to fight to get them to
talk so what you do is you bring them
together you say things you challenge
them and you let them go and have those
conversations
men's discipleship is so important we
recently seen massive problems in
youngsters particularly young boys and
going to church young boys and
maintaining and living for God and the
reason is because they have all these
expectations that can't be fulfilled
from just being
saved their needs to beat the cypher
ship there needs to be a venes to
express to learn to do to experience to
change who they are and to go and to go
out and to to experiment to try to
preach to minister to express and it
without discipleship without the leading
and the guiding of other men
how are these young boys ever gonna make
it how are they gonna have ever figure
out what their the destiny of their life
is what their will is if there's no
people around them there to encourage
them to continue to seek God encourage
them that when they don't know where to
go to just keep moving forward encourage
them to do something so God says stuff
or in some cases to tell them to stop
and to try and this offer direction and
see what God might get involved in we
have got to be very careful that we
don't just get people saved and leave
them to themselves Jesus believed in
discipleship so there are some
experiences I want to list down
specifically that I feel that every
believer and the every single believer I
can't stress it enough no man no woman
needs to be left behind with this I
believe every believer needs to have a
few of these experiences that I've just
written down on a bit of a notepad when
I think about my discipleship process so
the first thing is I learnt to pray from
being around of the disciples I heard
them pray I saw them play they made
hands on me and prayed God and believed
that I'd be filled with the Holy Ghost
I'm speaking the spirit they
discipleship is that process and without
discipleship chances are you're probably
not going to experience some of this it
was food discipleship that I first
learned how what to do when I went to go
and visit the sick when I went to go and
visit someone at a house it was a new
believer it was when I first learnt how
to take control and dominion over
situations that were demonic it was
where I first learnt so Messel against
the flesh and I was first challenged on
how to correctly wage war against my
flesh and deny myself it was food as I
push it that I learned these kind of
things
it was food aside worships that I
learned to give practical advice it was
through discipleship but I learned how
to take correction but not just the
correction how to give encouragement how
to
to receive encouragement and why
sometimes we need to have correction and
encouragement and how we need to balance
the two so not hurt and destroy people
it is through discipleship that I
learned how to use the Word of God not
as a sword to divide people apart and to
cut people up but to heal and to build
them up and to speak into lives destiny
and future envision you see discipleship
was a crucial aspect of my life and of
me I can't I can't stress that though I
got saved and I was doing well and I
attended church of my own accord once I
got saved of my own decision I felt like
God spoke to me it's really free
discipleship that I've seen the greatest
acceleration in my Christian walk and
what youngsters want is they want to run
before they can walk the only way that
they're ever gonna get to a place where
they're gonna be happy that they're
gonna have the joy and they're gonna be
useful the way that they want to be
useful is if we take them in and show
them how to make themself yourself we
show them from our own experiences only
fast-track Allah we give them advice and
we allow them to go through those
experiences for themselves as they're
learning so that they're engaged in this
Christian walk nobody young wants to be
a Christian by name only everybody wants
to be a disciple but they just don't
know it they want the joy they want
peace and happiness they want purpose
they want supernatural power they want
anointing they want understanding of the
Word of God they want the character to
be able to deny the flesh they want to
see change and impact on the world that
they're living in but they can't and so
they get frustrated and fizzle away
particularly young men book who
discipleship you have a chance to
wrestle back against this you've got to
make disciples now a lot of people
saying you know we got a study to show
yourself approved yes you do but that
isn't what discipleship is discipleship
isn't just the studying to show yourself
approved as a work man rightly dividing
the word of God discipleship is about
you building relationships with other
men and disciple in them and them decide
billing you and you gain underneath the
wing of your pasta or of a senior man
someone that's been around and that
knows the Christian life that's
experienced wings and you know what you
might come to them with something that
never never been
before but between the two of you that
you're gonna work it through together
discipleship is a place where you can
share your struggles and your successes
encouraging one another but ultimately
allowing Christ to be fully formed in
your life
I believe that discipleship is the most
important part of the church and that if
a youth group are meeting and they're
active and the youth groups growing but
there is no personal individual
discipleship you are letting them down
because you are failing to help them to
develop the character that they need to
make it for God I'm not saying that you
have to start people having fun but
there needs to be the personal
commitment to making sure people grow
into the strong able Christians able to
make decisions April to discern able to
know what to do in given situations that
really ought to be taught and learned
through discipleship men and women have
slightly different roles with regards to
ministry women have a ministry that's
completely exclusive to women that no
matter how much a man tried we can't
enter into record childbearing and
child-rearing rearing we can't
breastfeed we can't bear children we
can't give birth to the Living Young we
can't experience some of the things that
women have gone through God has made
them unique and special and that element
of their life and ministry should they
wish to go into that area of their
ministry is divine and that's a place
where only enough a woman could really
disciple a woman about those processes
and what it's like to go through that
there's a specific place where women
need to disciple women and men need to
disciple men equally men is a place when
it comes to the ministering of the Word
of God if they want to go on to be a
minister now I said it earlier
discipleship is needed whether you want
to preach or not whether you want to be
the leader of a church on the side mushy
peas for all men but if you want to go
into those sort of ministries you've got
to be discipled by a man about those
sort of issues a man that kids been
through it and that knows what the life
is the notice of struggles and the
battles that knows what the Word of God
says very well because that's what
you're going to be preaching and so
study to show yourself approved is
important but that doesn't replace the
cycle ship the two is completely
different and you need to do both if you
want to be a man of God leading Bible
studies rightly dividing the word Oh
encourage everyone to study to show
themselves approved but if you want to
be a preacher you need to be giving
yourself perfectly in that area of your
life and the only reason I'm mentioning
it is because I know a lot of people
think discipleship is for the practice
of building preachers it's not show
yourself approved and that extra
fervency in going that step further and
giving themselves is required if you
want to minister and help others in
their needs as a preacher so jesus spent
three and a half years disciple ii met
three and a half years poor the apostle
got saved and for three years he again
goes to the dark side of the world and
begins to learn what it is to walk out
this Christian life it's important that
we understand that discipleship is not
getting people to get past the test so
that they're ready to learn for the rest
of their life without advice
discipleship is an ongoing process but
after you've intensively got yourself
involved in discipleship and you
allowing people and you learn certain
things you then qualified to begin to
start disciple in coffers you're still
at the start for yourself this there is
someone over you but you're probably not
going to be as dependent upon them to
lead and guide you about certain things
that you've learned and so now they've
got freedom to take on up over man
you've got to be careful that we don't
forget that we also still need to be
disciples and ultimately we're all
disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ who
speaks to us but that is not an excuse
to cut yourself off from prophets and
sisters please do like and subscribe to
my channel Jesus doctrine and I'll keep
you updated with lots of other new
videos that I'm doing make disciples of
all the nations

What Can Your Genetic Portrait Tell the World? #PublicInterestTech - Duration: 2:47.
We use computers, we use phones, we use the Internet,
we see these things,
and so we have some kind of tangible relationship to them.
But when you go to your doctor
and they take some fluid out of your body
and then come back and tell you about it,
we don't see all the biotechnology that's happening behind the scenes.
We don't see the whole market in fluids and data that's behind that.
It's totally invisible to us.
Heather Dewey-Hagborg, take one.
I studied visual art alongside computer science.
And so my work is really trying to ask deep questions
about technology and how it functions and its impact on society.
In Stranger Visions, the question was
how much can I learn about a stranger from a hair.
I collected genetic artifacts,
so things that strangers left in public, like
chewed-up gum and cigarette butts and fingernails.
I extracted DNA from them and analyzed it.
And then what came out of that were these 3D printed portraits
that represented one genomic interpretation
of what a stranger might look like
based on their genetic material.
One aspect, was the kind of genetic surveillance aspect,
that there was this vulnerability of the body.
And then the second thing was this new technology
was emerging of DNA phenotyping.
DNA phenotyping is the attempt to create
an actual picture of a person's face
from nothing more than their DNA.
Two years after I exhibited Stranger Visions,
a company called Parabon NanoLabs launched
a product called DNA Snapshot
that claims to do just this—
to take DNA from a crime scene
and make a picture of "the criminal."
And this I knew from my work and Stranger Visions
was just not possible; it was too subjective.
There were many possible interpretations
of one person's face based on their data.
It wasn't this reductionist process.
Actually, it was complex and nuanced and messy.
The biotechnological universe is growing all around us all the time.
DNA phenotyping, recreational genetics,
databases like 23andMe and Ancestry.com,
GEDmatch, the criminal database.
We have to really radically think about
what it means to live in a time where there is no genetic privacy.
We have to be hackers.
We have to, like, DIY the whole thing.
I would really like to see more artists
and creative people working in
public interest technology,
making visible this kind of hidden world of biotechnology.

How can accountability partners change your life - Duration: 4:33.
Hi everybody
It's already my last evening. So today was the last day
Of our holidays. I hope you can hear me. Well, I have lost my my earphones in the mountain somewhere. I
Really enjoyed it. I
It was
I'm here many years already. I think 15 years every year. We're coming to the same place to the same hotel
but some
major changes have taken place
so I
Feel I feel very happy very comfortable we are satisfied usually at the end of holidays I
Tend to get a bit I used in the past to become
Bit short-tempered because everything was going back to normal. I didn't want to leave I was not really
satisfied
said
Maybe expecting more from that we then
could have happened but this has really changed and it makes me happy and
Usually I spent a lot of money in behind you can buy wonderful clothes and shoes
so I must admit a
thousand euros that was no problem for me to spend but it made me very
Unsatisfied once you spend the money you think somehow I thought I can you buy me some
Some satisfaction with that, but it's not
the same
It always costs a lot of money and I just don't need it I'm very relaxed this time
I have you as accountability partners
I have something to look forward to when I'm coming back home because nothing has changed you were there before?
You were here with me. I took everything with me
My cell phone my laptop
You as a group
So you will be with me when I'm back home. So I think that made a big big difference
And I'm very happy with that
So, yes, thank you for being with me. I know it's holiday time and
some of you are maybe on vacation, but I think when we are back and
Middle of August end of August everything will come back to normal we have to reschedule
I would like to make my the next webinar tomorrow in a week
That would be the 18th of August. So we're gonna make a post about that in the group. I
Became aware that I am not really
Focusing or I
Haven't really written down what I really want. What do I want to achieve? I'm not I'm not after any
Material things like I want this car or I want to have this house
So I have to get a bit more clear about that at the moment. I can just focus on my
90 day challenge when it comes to my health or
to my goal
Sticking to four times per week 30 minutes of cardio. I definitely accomplished that during my holidays and
I want to reduce my body fat at the moment. This is the only
Measurable goal that I have so I will stick to that and I have to become more clear
about
what I really want to achieve in my life or with this online business I have to
Write it down and take some time maybe half a day to really I was not in the mood to do it here
This is everything that I want to do at home
Because it's important we need to be clear about that
How can the delete but the universe deliver something to us?
If we just don't know what you want by ourselves, so that that will be another
Duty and tasks for me that I will follow up
So yes, I have to say goodbye to what a wonderful City Hall and I'm definitely coming back next year
Maybe we can make it a bit earlier and go twice a year. You don't know
So I will all come back to you tomorrow. I love you. Bye

İngilizce Dersleri - 10. Ders ***Türkçe ve İngilizce Altyazılı*** ( 'CAN'li cümleler) - Duration: 3:10.
Hello everyone. In this video we are
talking about modal verb 'can' in
affirmative, interrogative and negative
sentences. Let's start with the
affirmatives. In affirmative sentences we
use 'can' between the subject and the verb.
For example; 'I can play piano', 'He can speak German'. As you see it comes after
the subject and before the verb. To make
it in a question we use 'can' at the
beginning of the sentence, like that;
'Can you play piano?' or 'Can he speak German?'
To make it in the negative we use 'not' after can, like that; 'I cannot play
piano', 'He cannot speak German'. In the
negative form we can also use 'cannot'
like that; can't so as a short form we can write it but
pronunciation differs in American and
British accent. In American pronunciation
it's used like /kent/, in British
pronunciation it's like /ka:nt/. again
American /kent/, British /ka:nt/.
If you go to America and you want to pronounce that word like can't
be careful that you pronounce it with the long /a:/ phoneme,
not with the short one like 'cunt'. It can be very offensive for Americans. Especially for the women.
Now let's look at the usage of 'can'. Firstly can't
denotes ability of someone for
example; when you say 'I can play piano' it
means that I am able to play piano or 'he
can speak German' means that he is able
to speak German.
The second usage of can denotes
possibility of the sentence ,for example;
when you say 'I can come to your party.
I'm free on Saturday' means that I am
available to come to your party, 'I don't ,have anything to do so it is possible for
me to come to your party. I can come to your party on Saturday.
But if in negative you say that 'I can't
come to your party' it doesn't mean that
physically I'm not able to come, it means
the situation is not possible. It's not
possible for me to come to your party
so I can't come to your party. Let's look
at another example; 'They can't be on holiday. I saw their car
in front of the building this morning.'
means that it's impossible for them to
be on holiday. Because today I saw their
car in front of the building. So as you
see can and can't or can't is used for
ability and possibility.

How short can royals' dresses and skirts be? Royal protocol queried after Meghan Markle steps out in - Duration: 2:55.
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is not afraid to live royal life her own way
Since marrying Prince Harry, Kate Middleton's sister-in-law has broken a few royal outfit rules, as has every woman in the famous family
However, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis' aunty raised eyebrows more than she has before recently as she attended a performance of Hamilton in London with Harry in a short black tuxedo dress
Many people commented on how short the dress was for a royal, with many pointing out the length was not royal family friendly
Top Stories Meghan Markle tuxedo dress: Duchess of Sussex's short outfit is a Meghan Markle favourite Meghan Markle flashes legs as she joins Prince Harry for a performance of Hamilton Others loved Meghan's daring choice, and applauded her for showing off her amazing figure
But did Meghan actually break a royal rule? Is there a minimum length of skirt and dresses for the royal women? While the Queen is reportedly not a fan of short skirts and dresses, there is no known royal rule that says how long a skirt or a dress should be
Having said that, it's easy to believe there are some guidelines, as the Queen, Kate Middleton and other female members of the royal family usually opt for knee length or longer
Most Popular Loose Women: Coleen Nolan issues statement after explosive Kim Woodburn fight Kim Woodburn Loose Women: Loose Women receives 448 Ofcom complaints over row Cheryl sparks concerns as she shares 'frail' snap as Liam moves on However, have been occasions when the Duchess of Cambridge has chosen a shorter style for a royal event
In 2013, Kate wore a black and white polka dot dress during a visit to Warner Bros Studios which fell a couple of inches above the knee
In fact, Kate has worn a lot of dresses in the past the same length as Meghan Markle's black tuxedo dress – and so we doubt the Duchess will be in any trouble

Prince Harry 'Can't Stop Singing the Songs' of Hamilton, Teases Wife Meghan Markle - Duration: 3:17.
He'll be back — because he's a Hamilfan! Prince Harry surprised the audience at a special West End performance of the smash musical Hamilton on Wednesday night when he launched — briefly — into one of the show's numbers
Despite the public teaser of his vocal abilities, the prince's wife Meghan Markle says he sings all the tunes at home — not just the songs performed by the king
Speaking with Rachel John, who plays Angelica Schuyler in the London version of the Broadway hit, Meghan, 37, said, "We saw it back in January, February and thought it was incredible
" Continued Meghan of her husband, 33, "Harry loved it, it was the first time he saw it, and now he can't stop singing the songs!" Harry greeted Jason Pennycooke, who plays the Marquis de Layfette, with a "Bonjour!" "The first time round [I saw the show] I was laughing so much
Just fantastic," he told the actor. The song Harry performed was "You'll Be Back," which is sung by King George, his sixth great-grandfather, in the show
And Meghan — who wore a $595 black tuxedo minidress by Judith & Charles — added, "We could just feel the energy
It was so engaging." The show was a gala performance to raise money for one of Harry's charities, Sentebale, which helps young people in southern Africa
The event raised "hundreds of thousands of pounds," the charity chairman Johnny Hornby said
Every Photo from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Summer Date Night at Hamilton "We knew Harry and Meghan had been to the show almost secretly, although a cast member tweeted it, and loved it," Hornby told reporters
"Harry and Meghan love the show. This is the third time that Meghan has seen it. They were very involved in the event; we chatted about it and they were so excited about doing it
" And referring to Botswana, where the couple went shortly after meeting in summer 2016 (and where a stone in her engagement ring was sourced), he added, "You know how much music is important in Lesotho and to be able to bring all these things together, and how important Botswana is to the couple, is so beautiful
" "I think for the cast it's even more electric that Lin-Manuel is here because he's theatre royalty
And of course tonight we have true royalty too." The money raised on Wednesday will help "open a camp to help young people with HIV in Botswana later in the year, so the money will go directly to Lesotho and Botswana," Hornby added

How Much Home Can You Afford - Your Mortgage - Fifth Third Bank - Duration: 1:22.
Here's the deal with figuring out how much home you can afford:
in order to know what you can afford,
you first need a clear understanding of your income versus expenses.
It's important take a financial snapshot of where you are now –
what your current debt is,
how much you spend on everyday things,
and any immediate purchases you need to make –
to make sure you still have room for savings in your monthly budget.
Then, try to estimate how much your future debt, spending, and income will likely be,
to see if your desired mortgage amount is still manageable.
Remember to take into account the increased costs of home ownership,
such as renovations, maintenance, and utilities,
and consider large future purchases like cars or your children's tuition.
Once you've reviewed your budget, you'll want to get pre-qualified with Fifth Third.
Prequalification gives you an estimated amount that you can borrow from us.
The process is quick and easy.
You'll submit information regarding your income, assets, and debts,
and in return will get a letter showing you're prequalified and ready-to-buy.
Then, you're ready to start house hunting.
Get started online, call, or stop by one of our financial centers to obtain
your prequalification and begin shopping for your new, affordable home.
And that's the deal with figuring out how much home you can afford.

How to Stop a Binge (You Can Do It) - Duration: 5:56.
What's up Phoenix and welcome back to the channel.
In this video we're gonna be going into how to stop a binge.
You know that moment where you're like right on the verge of binge eating.
There's so much we can do in that moment, so I'm going to break it down and show you
step by step how to make sure you don't give in to a binge.
Alright, let's get started.
First of all, if you've never been here before, welcome.
I drop video's every single Thursday to help you end the battle with food and your body.
So if you're new, be sure to subscribe and hit the bell, so you are notified every single
time it goes live.
Alright, let's get started.
So what is your body actually wanting when you're binge eating.
Your body first of all is not wanting food.
It's not wanting to numb your emotions with food.
Your body is wanting a state change.
It wants to go from one vibrational frequency to another vibrational frequency.
Now, that doesn't mean numbing the one vibrational frequency that feels sticky, or feels awful,
whether that stress or pain or anxiety or whatever it is, that doesn't mean numbing
it.
In fact when we do numb it, we miss the lesson.
We miss why it's there in the first place.
Our body only knows how to communicate to us through sensations, that's it.
Our body does not have an English language.
Our body can only communicate through either physical ailments, if our bodies breaking
down or if we're sore or if we got stomach aches and things like that.
That's how our body tells us somethings wrong or the emotional side, our body gives us signals
like tension, anxiety, stress, fear, doubt, all the rest of it to let us know that something
is out of alignment or we need to slow down or we need to look at something or need to
feel through something.
And so how we stop binges is not through ignoring them or suppressing the emotionality, it's
through leaning into it.
And I know that may seem counter productive because in every other area of life, we feel
pain and we're like let's get rid of it.
Put a bandaid on it, let's take some aspirin, let's pop some pills, whatever we need to
do.
But for the sake of this and our relationship with food, we really need to feel into that.
Now when I say state change again, we can create a quick state change through binge
eating, because it immediately changes our state, but not for long.
And then we feel shameful and guilty that we used food as a drug in the first place.
That's not what I'm talking about, but through feeling our emotions and through understanding
them ... like okay, I feel this sensation because this, or I need to have this conversation
with this person that I'm putting off, or I haven't completed this thing that I need
to do, or I did this really bad thing and now I'm feeling guilty.
Sensations are leaving clues for us everywhere and so what is your body communicating to
you.
What are you needing to pay attention to.
For us to use food as a drug, we can't actually get that information.
We need to be in a state of non-consumption for us to allow that data to come through
to us.
So that sensation is data, right.
It's divine data that just gets downloaded to us and we get to feel it and we get to
understand what it is and do something about it, in the way of healing it and loving it
and slowing down and taking action to help dissipate it and get it to a higher frequency.
So when we're binge eating we can't do that and so what you need to get really clear on
is how do you want to feel.
What is your reason or what is your intention for putting that food in your mouth.
And so just by like being present in this moment and simply just by asking ourself these
questions, we're going to derail binge eating.
But what tends to happen is we don't ask ourselves these questions, we get into like this hypnosis
state where we barely remember, we like come to and we're like oh shoot, I ate all the
Ben and Jerry's or whatever it is.
And that to me [inaudible 00:03:38] frustrate with ourselves and we're like oh, did it again,
I have no will power, I'm never going to be able to get out of this, I'm not good enough
for it.
And then the whole self sabotage cycle starts and rears it's head.
And so when we can take steps before, we can understand how to change our state through
feeling.
The second we start feeling and we're present we begin to shift and change our state.
And so we're not going to stop binge eating through dieting or through restriction or
whatever it is, we're going to do it through actually feeling.
We have to feel in order to heal.
In a second here, I'm going to show you my number one strategy that I used when I was
overcoming binge eating to help me truly shift that narrative and get into a place of being
able to heal my emotions rather than numb them.
And before I do that, I want to make sure that you are signed up for our five day food
freedom challenge.
That's five days, it's totally free.
I walk you through step, by step, by step to help you end the battle with food and your
body by giving you videos and meditations.
And there's a community to help you as well.
So if you've not yet joined be sure to click the link below and get your bum in the door.
So one thing I always ask myself as I was getting through this battle with food is,
what am I really hungry for?
It's never about the food right, so I had to ask myself, what is that thing that I am
hungry for?
What is my body asking you of me and how can I honor it?
And when you sort of ask yourself those questions, you begin to get beautiful answers.
To go oh, you need to slow down, you need to go have that conversation.
You need to drink some water, you need to go out in nature, you need to do something
fun, you need to not take yourself so seriously.
And once we begin to start to really untangle all that and honor what our body needs, our
body is then like, oh, she's listening to me, or he's listening to me.
We have a relationship, this is like a back and forth thing.
Versus your body trying to communicate something and you going, nope, I'm not doing that.
This is a way we begin to start re-establishing that connection between mind and body, head
and heart.
Alrighty, that is it for this video.
If you enjoyed this video, let me know by writing in the comments and giving me a thumbs
up.
If you did not enjoy this video, let me know as well.
My intention is to create quality content for you every single week to help you end
the battle with food and your body.
So thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you so much and I'll see you next week for
another video.
Bye for now.

That won't happen again.
I don't feel that creepy aura of her anymore..
Did you feel that ghost's aura..?
Yes I did..
Should I call it a possession?
Anyway at that time,
I felt her aura and
I kind of know what that ghost have in her mind.
A ghost's mind?

Are you sure that all the teachers went for a dinner?
Yes.
They just all went.
But do we really have to do this?
If we get caught, we will get more than a gig!
But there's no other way!
This is the only place where we can look school records up.
Guys..I feel somewhat like it's crime..
There must be sooyeon's school records in it.
Oh, I found the school records of 2013.
Why..are they all balnk..?
Other records got no problem.
What happened to this school?
Did someone erase it on purpose?
Wasn't it too clean to be erased?
Or someone might have swapped it.
The one that we saw could be fake.
I mean, who did that?
Did..the ghost do it?
Guys.
Don't be frightened. It's me.
You almost make me pee on my pants,dude.
I'm sorry.
Can I talk to you for a second?
It will make me more confuse if I have a word with you right now.
See you next time.
If you guys are looking for a records of that ghost...
How did you know that?
I saw you came out from the teacher's room.
Did anyone see us beside you?
I'm not sure.
Anyway the school records that you were looking for might have erased.
How did you know that?
Not only the school records but also the memories of all the students and teachers of this school
and the whole of the school have been manipulated.
Manipulated by who?
The ghost who was a student of our school...
Soo yeon.
The ghost controls human's memory?
The ghost manipulate by human's soul as she pleases.
And also
yours are being manipulated.
Also by sooyeon?
No.
Then by who?
The one who manipulating your memory is...
Gangrim.
Excuse me?
Yes.
Gangrim that you know
isn't human.
Hari: Hyunwoo..!
Hari: Hyunwoo..! Wake up Hyunwoo!
Gangrim: He fainted.
Hari: What do yo mean by that? Wait, where is Gaeun?
Hari: What is going on in our school?
Jumin: This is all because you came to our school.
Gangrim: That is what I have to say to you.
Hari: You guys are the same.
Hari: Neither of you guys did good. I can't trust both of you.

What a scrapyard in Ghana can teach us about innovation | DK Osseo-Asare - Duration: 14:18.
Come with me to Agbogbloshie,
a neighborhood in the heart of Accra,
named after a god that lives in the Odaw River.
There's a slum, Old Fadama,
built on land reclaimed from the Korle Lagoon,
just before it opens into the Gulf of Guinea.
There's a scrapyard here where people take apart all kinds of things,
from mobile phones to computers,
automobiles to even entire airplanes.
Agbogbloshie's scrapyard is famous
because it has become a symbol of the downside of technology:
the problem of planned obsolescence.
It's seen as a place where devices from around the world end their life,
where your data comes to die.
These are the images that the media loves to show,
of young men and boys burning wires and cables
to recover copper and aluminum,
using Styrofoam and old tires as fuel,
seriously hurting themselves and the environment.
It's a super-toxic process,
producing pollutants that enter the global ecosystem,
build up in fatty tissue
and threaten the top of the food chain.
But this story is incomplete.
There's a lot we can learn from Agbogbloshie,
where scrap collected from city- and nationwide is brought.
For so many of us,
our devices are black boxes.
We know what they do,
but not how they work or what's inside.
In Agbogbloshie, people make it their business
to know exactly what's inside.
Scrap dealers recover copper, aluminum, steel, glass, plastic
and printed circuit boards.
It's called "urban mining."
It's now more efficient for us to mine materials from our waste.
There is 10 times more gold, silver, platinum, palladium
in one ton of our electronics
than in one ton of ore mined from beneath the surface of the earth.
In Agbogbloshie,
weight is a form of currency.
Devices are dissected to recover materials, parts and components
with incredible attention to detail,
down to the aluminum tips of electric plugs.
But scrap dealers don't destroy components that are still functional.
They supply them to repair workshops like this one in Agbogbloshie
and the tens of thousands of technicians across the country
that refurbish electrical and electronic equipment,
and sell them as used products to consumers that may not be able to buy
a new television or a new computer.
Make no mistake about it, there are young hackers in Agbogbloshie --
and I mean that in the very best sense of that word --
that know not only how to take apart computers
but how to put them back together, how to give them new life.
Agbogbloshie reminds us that making is a cycle.
It extends to remaking and unmaking
in order to recover the materials that enable us to make something anew.
We can learn from Agbogbloshie,
where cobblers remake work boots,
where women collect plastic from all over the city,
sort it by type,
shred it, wash it
and ultimately sell it back as feedstock to factories
to make new clothing,
new plastic buckets
and chairs.
Steel is stockpiled separately,
where the carcasses of cars and microwaves and washing machines
become iron rods for new construction;
where roofing sheets become cookstoves;
where shafts from cars become chisels
that are used to scrap more objects;
where aluminum recovered from the radiators of fridges
and air conditioners
are melted down
and use sand casting to make ornaments for the building industry,
for pots which are sold just down the street in the Agbogbloshie market
with a full array of locally made ovens, stoves and smokers,
which are used every day
to make the majority of palm nut soups,
of tea and sugar breads,
of grilled tilapia in the city.
They're made in roadside workshops like this one by welders like Mohammed,
who recover materials from the waste stream
and use them to make all kinds of things,
like dumbbells for working out out of old car parts.
But here's what's really cool:
the welding machines they use look like this,
and they're made by specially coiling copper
around electrical steel recovered from old transformer scrap.
There's an entire industry just next to Agbogbloshie
making locally fabricated welding machines that power local fabrication.
What's really cool as well is that there's a transfer of skills and knowledge
across generations,
from masters to apprentices,
but it's done through active learning, through heuristic learning,
learning by doing and by making.
And this stands in sharp contrast
to the experience of many students in school,
where lecturers lecture,
and students write things down and memorize them.
It's boring, but the real problem is
this somehow preempts their latent or their inherent entrepreneurial power.
They know books but not how to make stuff.
Four years ago, my cofounder Yasmine Abbas and I asked:
What would happen if we could couple
the practical know-how of makers in the informal sector
with the technical knowledge of students and young professionals
in STEAM fields --
science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics --
to build a STEAM-powered innovation engine
to drive what we call "Sankofa Innovation," which I'll explain.
We took forays into the scrapyard
to look for what could be repurposed,
like DVD writers that could become laser etchers,
or the power supplies of old servers
for a start-up in Kumasi making 3D printers out of e-waste.
The key was to bring together young people from different backgrounds
that ordinarily never have anything to do with each other,
to have a conversation about how they could collaborate
and to test and develop new machines and tools
that could allow them to shred and strip copper instead of burning it,
to mold plastic bricks and tiles,
to build new computers out of components recovered from dead electronics,
to build a drone.
And here you can see it flying for the first time in Agbogbloshie.

Yasmine and I have collaborated with over 1,500 young people,
750 from STEAM fields,
and over 750 grassroots makers and scrap dealers
from Agbogbloshie and beyond.
They've joined hands together to develop a platform
which they call Spacecraft,
a hybrid physical and digital space for crafting,
more of a process than a product,
an open architecture for making,
which involves three parts:
a makerspace kiosk, which is prefab and modular;
tool kits which can be customized based on what makers want to make;
and a trading app.
We built the app specifically with the needs of the scrap dealers
in mind first,
because we realized that it was not enough to arm them with information
and upgraded technology
if we wanted them to green their recycling processes;
they needed incentives.
Scrap dealers are always looking for new scrap and new buyers
and what interests them is finding buyers who will pay more
for clean copper than for burnt.
We realized that in the entire ecosystem,
everyone was searching for something.
Makers are searching for materials, parts, components, tools, blueprints
to make what it is they want to make.
They're also finding a way to let customers and clientele
find out that they can repair a blender
or fix an iron
or, as we learned yesterday, to make a french fry machine.
On the flip side, you find that there are end users
that are desperately looking for someone that can make them a french fry machine,
and you have scrap dealers who are looking how they can collect this scrap,
process it, and turn it back into an input for new making.
We tried to untangle that knot of not knowing
to allow people to find what they need to make what they want to make.
We prototyped the makerspace kiosk in Agbogbloshie,
conceived as the opposite of a school:
a portal into experiential and experimental making
that connects local and global
and connects making with remaking and unmaking.
We made a rule that everything had to be made from scratch
using only materials made in Ghana
or sourced from the scrapyard.
The structures essentially are simple trusses which bolt together.
It takes about two hours to assemble one module with semi-skilled labor,
and by developing tooling and jigs and rigs,
we were able to actually build these standardized parts
within this ecosystem of artisanal welders
with the precision of one millimeter --
of course, using made-in-Agbogbloshie welding machines,
as well as for the tools,
which can lock, the toolboxes, and stack to make workbenches,
and again, customized based on what you want to make.
We've tested the app in Agbogbloshie
and are getting ready to open it up to other maker ecosystems.
In six months, we'll have finished three years of testing
the makerspace kiosk,
which I have to admit, we've subjected to some pretty horrific abuse.
But it's for a good cause,
because based on the results of that testing,
we've been able to redesign an upgraded version of this makerspace.
If a fab lab is large, expensive, and fixed in place,
think of this as the counterpoint:
something low-cost,
which can be locally manufactured,
which can be expanded and kitted out incrementally
as makers acquire resources.
You can think of it as a toolshed,
where makers can come and check out tools
and take them via handcart
to wherever they want in the city to make what it is they want to make.
And moving into the next phase, we're planning to also add
ceiling-mounted CNC bots,
which allow makers to cocreate together with robots.
Ultimately, this is a kit of parts
which can be assembled locally within the informal sector
using standardized parts
which can be upgraded collectively through an open-source process.
In totality, this entire makerspace system
tries to do five things:
to enable emerging makers to gather the resources they need
and the tools to make what they want to make;
to learn by doing and from others;
to produce more and better products;
to be able to trade to generate steady income;
and ultimately, to amplify not only their reputation as a maker,
but their maker potential.
Sankofa is one of the most powerful Adinkra symbols of the Akan peoples
in Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire,
and it can be represented as a bird reaching onto its back to collect an egg,
a symbol of power.
It translates literally from the Twi as "return and get it,"
and what this means is that if an individual or a community or a society
wants to have a successful future, they have to draw on the past.
To acquire and master existing ways of doing,
access the knowledge of their ancestors.
And this is very relevant
if we want to think about an inclusive future for Africa today.
We have to start from the ground up,
mining what already works for methods and for models,
and to think about how might we be able to connect,
in a kind of "both-and," not "either-or" paradigm,
the innovation capacity of this growing network
of tech hubs and incubators across the continent
and to rethink beyond national boundaries and political boundaries,
to think about how we can network innovation in Africa
with the spirit of Sankofa
and the existing capacity of makers at the grassroots.
If, in the future, someone tells you
Agbogbloshie is the largest e-waste dump in the world,
I hope you can correct them
and explain to them that a dump is a place where you throw things away
and leave them forever;
a scrapyard is where you take things apart.
Waste is something that no longer has any value,
whereas scrap is something that you recover
specifically to use it to remake something new.
Making is a cycle,
and African makerspaces are already pioneering and leading
circular economy at the grassroots.
Let's make more and better together.
Thank you.
(Applause)
