The Search Engine Google is showing this animated Doodle in few Countries for celebrating Hubert
Cecil Booth's 147th Birthday.
Hubert Cecil Booth was an English engineer known for inventing one of the first powered
vacuum cleaners.
He also designed Ferris wheels, suspension bridges and factories.
Later he became Chairman and Managing Director of the British Vacuum Cleaner and Engineering
Company.
Booth is known for introducing one of the first powered vacuum cleaners.
Before Booth introduced his version of the vacuum cleaner, cleaning machines blew or
brushed dirt away, instead of sucking it up.
In 1901 at the Empire Music Hall in London, Booth watched a demonstration of a device,
which blew dust off the chairs, and thought that "...if the system could be reversed,
and a filter inserted between the suction apparatus and the outside air, whereby the
dust would be retained in a receptacle, the real solution of the hygienic removal of dust
would be obtained."
He tested the idea by laying a handkerchief on the seat of a restaurant chair, putting
his mouth to the handkerchief, and then trying to suck up as much dust as he could onto the
handkerchief.
Upon seeing the dust and dirt collected on the underside of the handkerchief, he realized
the idea could work.
Booth created a large device, driven by an internal combustion engine.
Nicknamed the "Puffing Billy", Booth's first petrol-powered, horse-drawn vacuum cleaner
relied upon air drawn by a piston pump through a cloth filter.
It did not contain any brushes; all the cleaning was done by suction through long tubes with
nozzles on the ends.
Although the machine was too bulky to be brought into the building, its principles of operation
were essentially the same as the vacuum cleaners of today.
He followed this up with an electric-powered model, but both designs were extremely bulky,
and had to be transported by horse and carriage.
The term "vacuum cleaner" was first used by the company set up to market Booth's invention,
in its first issued prospectus of 1901.
Hubert Cecil Booth initially did not attempt to sell his machine, but rather sold cleaning
services.
The vans of the British Vacuum Cleaner Company (BVCC) were bright red; uniformed operators
would haul hose off the van and route it through the windows of a building to reach all the
rooms inside.
Booth was harassed by complaints about the noise of his vacuum machines and was even
fined for frightening horses.
Gaining the royal seal of approval, Booth's motorized vacuum cleaner was used to clean
the carpets of Westminster Abbey prior to Edward VII's coronation in 1901.
The device was used by the Royal Navy to improve the level of sanitation in the naval barracks.
It was also used in businesses such as theatres and shops, although the device was too large
to be feasibly used as a domestic appliance.
When cleaning the royal mint, upon leaving he was arrested as his machine had collected
a massive amount of silver dust from the coins and he had forgotten to empty it.
He was however quickly released.
Booth founded Goblin, his company to sell vacuum cleaning services and refined his invention
over the next several decades.
Though Goblin lost out to competition from Hoover in the household vacuum market, his
company successfully turned its focus to the industrial market, building ever-larger models
for factories and warehouses.

Melania Trump Made $100,000 Last Year From Sweetheart Deal With Media Outlets - Duration: 3:14.
A recent report has revealed that Melania Trump actually worked out some kind of sweetheart
deal with Getty Images to pay her an exorbitant amount of money to sell photos take of her
family between the years 2010 and 2016 to media outlets.
But only - And this is the interesting part - but only if they were used for positive
stories.
So Melania Trump worked out this little sweetheart deal with Getty Images, who then sold these
images for networks to use during their coverages, for magazines to use, newspapers, and it ended
up netting Melania Trump, last year, more than $100,000.
Now here's the thing: it could have gotten her as much as $1 million.
We don't know about that because on the financial disclosure forms, they only have to report
a range of what she made from that specific deal she had.
And the range is from $100,000 to $1 million.
So again, we don't know how much they've made because the White House refused to give us
any kind of clarity on it.
Getty Images has refused to give the media any clarity on how much they paid her.
But we do know that she was willing to sign this contract to let Getty use these images
that they had take, but only if they were used in positive media stories.
So here's what I figured from this specific story, is that the Trump family absolutely
loves the media!
No matter how much they tell us that they hate it, they absolutely love it!
But only when they can control it.
And that is what these idiots have been trying to do for their entire life: control the narrative,
control the message, control the media.
That's with Melania was trying to do with these photographs of her family.
Now what's even worse is that media outlets paid this ransom fee.
They ran the positive stories so that they could use the pictures, and then that money
goes to Getty, which then goes to Melania Trump.
That is absolutely appalling.
Especially considering the fact that now that they're public officials, you could go there,
send a dude with a camera, take a couple of quick shots of them, and then use that.
You don't need to pay the exorbitant fees for these Getty Images just because you think
they look better.
And then you're not beholden to report only positive stories about Melania and Donald;
you can say whatever the hell you want.
They're public figures, which means they're out in public quite a bit.
It's pretty easy to get a picture of them at this point.
There's no need to continue paying money for this to give an already wealthy woman and
her disgusting husband even more money.
But that's what they're in it for.
Not only do they want to make more money, but they want to control what the media says
about them, and that is exactly what Melania Trump's little sweetheart deal here was all
about.

Hubert Cecil Booth was born in Gloucester, England, 1871.
He was educated at Gloucester College and Gloucester County School under headmaster
Reverend H. Lloyed Brereton.
In 1889 he entered the Central Technical College, City and Guild, London after passing the entrance
examination.
He completed a three-year course in civil engineering and mechanical engineering under
Professor William Cawthorne Unwin FRS.
He completed the Diploma of Associateship (ACGI), coming second in the engineering department.
He became a student of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Booth is known for introducing one of the first powered vacuum cleaners.
Before Booth introduced his version of the vacuum cleaner, cleaning machines blew or

Firestorm Erupts After Trump Refuses To Lower Flags to Half-Staff - Duration: 3:46.
FIRESTORM ERUPTS AFTER TRUMP REFUSES TO LOWER FLAGS TO HALF-STAFF.
Annapolis Maryland Mayor Gavin Buckley requested, that American flags be flown at half-staff
in honor of the five Capital Gazette journalists, who were killed last week.
But President Trump has apparently denied his request, just days after the horrific
mass shooting.
Buckley said he was "disappointed" in the president's decision, and said the attack
on the newspaper was "just as important as any other tragedy."
"Obviously, I'm disappointed you know.
Is there a cutoff for tragedy?"
Buckley told the Baltimore Sun.
"This was an attack on the press.
It was an attack on freedom of speech."
Buckley said.
The mayor put in the request to the White House over the weekend, and said he had hoped
that lowering the flags would help keep national attention on the tragedy.
Buckley said he decided not to lower the city's own flags, after receiving the president's
decision.
"At this point in time, it would start to polarize people," he said.
"I don't want to make people angry."
The state flags in Maryland were ordered to be lowered, to half-staff from Friday until
Monday night by Governor Larry Hogan.
As you can imagine, many on social media expressed their angst with the president's decision
on Monday, with some even pledging to fly their own flags at half-staff.
The president has ordered flags to be lowered at half-staff for previous shootings, including
the Santa Fe High School massacre in May and the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas
on Valentine's Day.
So Trump's decision will no doubt create controversy due to his numerous comments,
attacking the press during his presidency.
Trump has called the press the "enemy of the American people", and has called out
media outlets and journalists by name on his Twitter and at his rallies.
Even as he was talking about his "respect for the media" following the massacre on
Friday, Trump couldn't help lashing out a little about the press.
"I have a lot of respect for the media, tremendous respect.
Some of the greatest people I know are reporters, and people in the media," he told a group
of journalists aboard Air Force One.
"But also you have, like anything else, people that are bad."
"Obviously, the press has treated me very badly.
In the meantime, I'm president, so I guess they didn't treat me badly enough," he
boasted.
Trump called Thursday's murder of five people at the Annapolis Capital Gazette's offices
"terrible."
"Nobody has the full story yet, but what happened there is a disgrace," he said.
Hours earlier he said that the shooting was "horrific" and pledged "eternal support"
for families of the victims.
"I'd like to address the horrific shooting that took place yesterday at the Capital Gazette
newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland," Trump said.
"This attack shocked the conscience of our nation and filled our hearts with grief.
Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked
while doing their job."
Jarrod W Ramos, 38, was armed with a shotgun and smoke grenades when he launched his attack
on Thursday.
He opened fire at the newspaper killing five people.
Ramos had a long-running grudge against the newspaper, after they exposed him for stalking
a woman.
He is being held without bail in Anne Arundel County, where he has been placed on suicide
watch in jail.
The charges against him carry a maximum penalty of life without parole.
Maryland has no death penalty.

Panel: Delivering Media Accessibility at Scale - Duration: 52:19.
JOSH MILLER: All right, so we are
going to talk about accessibility in the media
space at scale.
We've got Morgen Dye from BBC studios,
John Luther from JW Player, and Daniel Peterschmit
from Science Friday.
So some really nice and varying perspectives, I think.
So rather than have them each introduce themselves,
we're going to dive right in, and I'm
going to ask to maybe talk, first about why
are you dealing with this?
How did it come across your plate?
What's driving accessibility at your organisation?
So Morgan, I'll let you start.
MORGEN DYE: A few things.
I think, first off, we really wanted to be doing this.
Accessibility and creating services that are inclusive
really cuts to the heart of what the BBC is all about.
We've been doing accessibility for a long time.
Another thing is in television.
There's not many options.
You have to be creating captions, for example.
But it's not just the mandates and the regulations,
but it's also our partners are insistent upon it.
So yeah.
JOHN LUTHER: OK.
I think for JW Player, our perspective
is a little bit different, because we're not
a content provider.
We're basically a technology provider.
So for us, the main driver for this is customers.
We have many thousands of customers who are doing just--
I think in Kevin's presentation, he touched on this--
just the scale of how much video is
being created every second of the day is just gigantic.
So as that customer base grows and their content base grows,
customers--
their regulatory, not only just doing the right thing
and making things accessible for everybody,
because we are a web--
primarily web technology company, and the philosophy
of the open web is--
I've been involved with for a long time-- it's for everybody.
It should be accessible to everybody.
But beyond that, there are regulations.
We do a lot of business in Western Europe.
Now in the United States, there's
legislation, as most people in this room are probably aware.
You have to be compliant or you do
risk getting sued or other unpleasant things might
happen to you.
So there's that side of it.
The other side of it is as our company has evolved
into not only the technology, but we're also
now becoming a data company.
Video intelligence is this new market and product that
we're starting to develop, where the more we can know about
a video and its context, recognising what's in it,
what it's about, transcription, machine learning--
all these things, which I'll talk about a little bit later
in my presentation.
It's all part of the same philosophy.
We want to know as much about every piece of video
for the customer, not for--
we're not doing anything creepy with this stuff
or following, tracking anybody around.
So those are the two pieces of it.
Primarily for customers, but secondarily,
just to know more about the content
so that we can make content discovery and all
these other things that video intelligence means to us.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIT: At Science Friday,
we're much more than a radio show.
We have videos, we have original articles,
and we provide free educational materials K
through 12 for science classrooms based off
our radio content.
So we were with NPR for a long time, up until about 2013,
and they do transcripts for all their shows.
So when we left, we lost that, and there
was a lot of staff turnover and new people coming in,
and we didn't have transcripts for about a year.
And when that happened, all these educators
came out of the woodwork and were saying, we really
need transcripts for our classrooms
because of [INAUDIBLE] and [? IDEA. ?]
If you're not providing different forms of learning
for kids with disabilities or sighted or hearing
disabilities, it's really crucial for teachers.
So we started integrating-- once we heard,
because if you're already doing it,
it's just like a thing you should be doing,
and then you don't hear people--
you don't expect people to say, hey,
this is great, because it's expected.
But then it goes away, and in that case,
and then we see how great the need is for it.
But yeah, we do transcripts for all our segments,
for our videos, for other audio products, so yeah.
But education is a huge component for us,
and that's the gateway for a lot of people.
JOSH MILLER: So let's talk about barriers for a second.
In terms of getting things off the ground--
it's more than one person, obviously,
it's more than just you people sitting here.
How do you get people around you to buy into this, whether it
be budget, dev resources--
how do you get everyone on board to say yeah, let's do this?
MORGEN DYE: Again, I think for me,
it was actually quite simple.
I'm very fortunate to work in a company
where this is just part and parcel for what we do
and what we've been doing for a long time.
So honestly, there wasn't a lot of fights, if you will,
when it came to getting buy in on creating
captions or [? AD ?] or whatever it might be.
That's not to say that there weren't challenges, for sure.
Cost is certainly the first thing that everyone sees
and the first thing that everyone has a concern about.
But I think we learned very quickly, actually,
that when it comes to cost, it all sort of just comes out
in the wash, if you will.
I think it made our content more valuable to our clients,
to our customers, and so whatever
investment that we were making, we easily made it back
with our content sales.
So I don't really have any, I guess, tips.
I'll leave it to these guys to see if they have
something more useful there.
JOHN LUTHER: Well, for us, it's a matter of competitiveness,
I think.
As I mentioned, we're primarily a technology provider.
We've always prided ourselves--
our core product, which is our video player,
has been around now for 11 years, I think.
Alicia would know better than me.
She's the product manager.
But we've always prided ourselves
on being the most accessible video player.
We've been the first to integrate
a lot of accessibility technologies,
such as we're the first web video player
to provide captions and all these other things.
So to maintain just competitive advantage and be,
again, the most accessible player for everybody,
so that as people come up against these requirements
and have to, again, with legislation
and everything else, I'm proud to say
I think they come to us first.
And I've actually been emailing and preparing
for this talk and things with some people,
and they still say you guys do this better than anybody else,
meaning primarily the captioning and [? AD ?]
and WebVTT support and things like that.
So it's about buy in, the question?
JOSH MILLER: Yeah.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIT: It was a little bit trickier for us
at Science Friday.
You really don't realise how amazing something is until you
don't have it anymore.
And you realise how much effort it takes and the resources
required.
So those emails from those teachers helped a lot,
but we were--
part of it is just starting to do it.
And then this is a thing we're doing now,
and we should ask for the budget for it.
But also, it's for people who either
don't have a personal connection to accessibility or disability
who are just focusing on getting the show out every week.
It can be hard to convince people that this
is a thing we should be doing.
So we have so many stakeholders, with our member stations,
with teachers, parents, students,
everyone who listens to the show, people on the web.
I think once you bring your stakeholders front and centre,
and you can help people step into their shoes in sort
of an empathy way, I think it can go a long way.
But then there is grant money out for this,
and we're primarily grant-funded,
along with listener contributions.
It does need lead-up, though, and time so you have the time
to apply for the grants.
It is expensive, but if you're a nonprofit like this,
there are resources out there.
JOSH MILLER: So you've all mentioned
basically the benefits of doing this stuff, which is awesome.
Because that's what we're always trying to preach,
that there's more than just the cost side of this.
So, Morgen, you mentioned ROI and the cost washing out.
Differentiation, John.
You realise how valuable it is once you lose it.
I mean, there's some really interesting stories here.
So we talk about this idea that social video
has been really valuable for us, because it's
allowed other people to have this aha moment of watching
a video with captions when they had no intention of watching
that video.
And now they're all of a sudden watching, like, oh, wow,
captions are kind of cool.
So you've also alluded to mostly having full support across
the organisation.
But what happens if you have a new producer, a new developer
come in and they've never seen this stuff before?
How do you get them to understand
that this is a good idea, and that this is what we're doing?
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: For the web development side of it,
a lot of people, or at least the people in the organisation,
they just interact with the way sighted and hearing people,
interact with the web.
And it's hard for them to understand
we need alt text on images.
And it comes down to getting everyone in the room
and being like, this is a screen reader and this is how--
this is what it's like to experience the web in this way.
And then when you have something that direct in front of people,
I think that's an easy way to--
there's so many dimensions to this.
And to just drop a hint every once in a while,
we have designing--
I put up these worksheets for designing
for accessibility for autistic users or deaf users,
just as design tips.
A lot of people are audio people at our work.
But put it right in front of the kitchen,
and it's just something that's hopefully on people's mind.
Like, we're not just designing this for people
who can hear our show.
JOSH MILLER: Morgan, do you have analytics around this stuff?
Are you actually measuring how it's being used?
MORGEN DYE: I don't know if we have exact numbers in that way.
Some interesting anecdotes just being a British company.
Most of our programming is going to be with British accents.
So even those who are not perhaps deaf or hard
of hearing, people really enjoy watching our programming
with captions on.
It's actually one of the first things
I tell people when they're getting into doing captions,
is spend some time actually watching video
with captions on.
Until you immerse yourself in that experience
and spend a lot of time discovering for yourself what
makes a good captioning experience versus a bad or not
so good captioning experience, you really
don't know where to start.
But yeah, I don't have any sort of metrics or numbers
that I can provide on the amount of people using them.
I know that-- speak to our comments team.
One of the first things that you will hear
is, where are the captions?
If something's missing on one of our services
with one of our partners, captions
are always the first thing that are noticed.
If the quality is not as perfect as it should be,
people will notice, and we'll hear about it.
I can speak a lot more into how we
react to those sorts of things.
JOSH MILLER: So, John, differentiation's, I think,
are a really interesting one.
If you're already differentiated and ahead,
how do you continue to stay ahead in that space?
JOHN LUTHER: Well, I mean, to address
the first question a little bit, if a developer or a product
manager comes in, I'm actually very
happy to say that the level of awareness of this stuff,
compared to when I started in this business in 2002,
is just--
so there's general just people knowing
the difference between a caption and a subtitle
and all these things that, for a long time, people just--
JOSH MILLER: Who'd have thought people cared 10 years ago?
JOHN LUTHER: Yeah, right.
It's like captions-- everything was burned into the video.
There was all this stuff that--
so yeah, there's that.
And then on the other side of it, I think for us,
we've always--
again, I keep coming back to the web standards.
That's very, very important to us not only philosophically,
but just competitively.
So we contribute to standards.
We're W3C members.
I encourage anybody else here to--
if you don't have the budget to be a W3C member,
you should definitely just participate.
There's a lot of community groups in the W3C that
don't require membership.
I work a lot with people from the BBC.
There's just a lot of stuff going on there.
So hearing the standards, contributing to standards,
just being aware of what's going on in the market, what
people need--
I mean, it sounds simplistic and elementary,
but that's really what we try to do, is just stay up on things.
There's just so many resources out there now,
like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
If people have never read that document,
I encourage you to just read it.
I'll also talk about it a little bit more this afternoon.
The latest version of it just was published last week.
There's open source tools now that
help you audit your website and software to make sure
that you're complying.
There's just so many more resources out there
than there were before that we're
trying to contribute to to just stay competitive, but also
because it's the right thing to do.
JOSH MILLER: So you're kind of all--
I don't know if lucky is the right word,
but in a nice position to be in an organisation that embraces
it all.
And you all, I'm sure, interact with other content/technology
organisations that may be trying to do something similar.
What are you seeing people do wrong?
Where are you seeing the mistakes?
What are people missing?
MORGEN DYE: I think what I'm seeing in what we experience
a bit at first, as well, is we're treating captions a bit
like just an element in a assembly line.
We're sort of dehumanising the process, and not
enough people are spending enough time stepping
back and thinking about, again, how do these captions--
how are they presented?
What is a good accessibility experience?
People are a bit more just focused on the delivery aspect,
making sure they get to places on time.
And that's obviously critical, but not
enough focus is being spent thinking
about the quality and the accuracy, in my opinion.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Yeah, quality and accuracy
is super important to us, too.
As a science show, everyone is an expert in something.
And if you get something wrong, then you will know.
They will let you know.
But I think maybe this isn't such an outward thing.
But besides it just being the right thing to do, it can be--
I think something that's overlooked
is that it can be really helpful in development content--
transcriptions.
The biggest part of our transcription budget
goes towards our videos--
not just for the final video product,
but our video producer--
maybe there's like two or four people in a video.
And each of those people is an initial at least hour-long
interview.
And having the transcripts for that immediately
is super helpful.
We use it for our social media, to grab things really quick.
One of our partners used to be PRI,
and they would take our transcripts--
on our segment pages, we usually have a few paragraphs.
But they would take our transcripts for that segment.
Someone who would write a whole article.
And since they're our partners, we
could just re that article back on the segment
page and hopefully hook people better that way.
So there's so many in-house, in-development advantages
to having transcripts, besides just the last step.
JOHN LUTHER: The first thing they
do wrong is they use the wrong video player.
[LAUGHTER]
It should be-- no, facetiousness aside,
I think that transcripts--
speech-to-text most people now are pretty well clued in to,
at least knowing it's something that they have to do.
And I think audio description is--
and that's not necessarily something
that people get wrong.
They're just not doing it.
And as Kevin mentioned--
and maybe it was in your presentation, I'm sorry--
it's just really important to not only--
I have three kids on the autism spectrum,
and they're very loud.
So my captions are on all the time on my television.
And so as you mentioned, it's very helpful to just have that,
even as a sighted person, because I
can't hear the TV half the time, especially the subtle sounds
coming out.
So I don't necessarily think it's wrong.
It's just there needs to be a lot more awareness about, OK,
you can't just--
yes, the machine transcription.
Everything's getting much better very quickly.
But the audio description piece of it,
as people have mentioned, is extremely expensive.
It's very, very hard to do well and accurately,
but it's something that people just
need to be more aware of and just factored in.
You got to budget it.
JOSH MILLER: So thinking about now
getting tactical operationally, if you think about--
and I'll give you options so you don't have
to say anything too negative.
But if you think about something you're either
really happy you're doing today that you
wish you had figured out sooner, or something you think
could still be improved, what comes to mind?
What have you figured out well?
MORGEN DYE: I think something that I
wish we would have done much sooner
is figured out how to work with things like captions in-house.
We were highly dependent on external vendors at first.
And we still are, and I would never
recommend transcribing all of your content in-house.
That's quite a lot of work, obviously.
But being able to do just really simple tasks with captions
in-house has saved us a tonne of time.
It's much more efficient and saves us a lot
in terms of operational costs.
And that's just doing basic things like timing offsets,
making quick fixes; if there is a mishear or a misspell,
being able to quickly open that file up, change it, get it back
out to your client or partner.
That's been a huge thing.
I wish we would have started doing that earlier.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: On the web development side,
we have these external sites called microsites
that are just for larger projects, which
we code from scratch.
And I just wish that in my--
I wish I had more knowledge or I did more research
on all the W3 practises.
But I really wish my college computer science classes
included this, because it wasn't existent in my computer science
classes.
And that's where it should start,
because it's hard to hook people.
They have set practises, and it's so much harder.
And just learning it, too--
the W3 standards are great, but it's so much stuff,
it can be hard to know where to start.
And Google Chrome has a pretty decent audit now,
but it's still a huge investment.
And I wish I had invested in that earlier,
but we're doing the best we can.
MORGEN DYE: Yeah, I mean, there's
not a lot in terms of prior education
before you go out into the industry
and start working with this stuff.
People don't go to college to learn
how to create captions, which on my team
we probably have nearly a century's
worth of collective post-production experience.
And not one of us actually knew a thing
about SCC files, DFXP files, 608 versus 708.
It's just not something that we learned,
and so we had to get into it.
And so it was very daunting at first,
but how cool would it be if people, especially the younger
people coming into the industry, could
have this knowledge up front instead of learning it
on the fly as they go.
JOHN LUTHER: I still struggle with 608 versus 708.
I think as a company, I wish we would have just gotten--
so in 2015, we started this kind of--
Jeroen and I, one of the founders of our company,
said, let's just transcribe everything-- every video.
So in addition to our video player,
we have a video hosting and streaming platform.
It does transcoding, and there's a dashboard.
There's all this video tools in addition to the player
that we have.
And more and more customers were starting to-- at the time,
they were starting use our video platform for this hosting, all
this other stuff.
We said, why don't we just transcribe
every single video in there?
And I'll talk a little bit about this later,
but it was shocking when we got the estimate of how much, just
a rough back of the envelope.
So at the time, I wish we would have
taken a step back from that and said,
you know what, we should just build this thing ourselves.
We should make one of these and sell it and market it,
because I think it would have been a good business for us
to be in.
But at the time, we're just like, too expensive.
We'll get to it later.
We'll come back to it.
I wish we would have just not paid the cost for someone else
to do it, but developed a core technology to do it ourselves.
Those things are now coming to market.
Plenty of companies are doing it,
but I wish we would have done it a little bit more ourselves.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Another thing
that I talked to with our education lead to
is we're an English language show,
and Spanish language content is like the next frontier for us.
We want it to be.
And I think in 2014, I think it was
one in 10 students in the US were Spanish speakers.
And it's like at 2020, it's going to be something like one
in four, one in three.
We started producing Spanish language short videos
that are like experiments you can do at home with your kids.
And making them no voice, to just have text in there
they can easily swap out for other languages.
But that's an obvious limitation right now with our audience.
And that can go into not only video.
I don't know what this could turn into--
like maybe having voice actors redo
our show in another language, since it's just
an interview show.
These are things that are really far down the line,
but what are other ways we can get into other languages?
JOSH MILLER: Awesome.
We're going to take some questions
before we run out of time.
Yeah?
Please.
AUDIENCE: Hi.
I'm Ashley Edwards for the New Jersey Department of Education.
And accessibility is very new to us.
We are recently one of the states that
just got sued by the federal government
for not having accessible websites,
so we are trying to be extra accessible.
And one thing we're just starting
is accessibility with videos.
So I know you said that you'd never recommend transcribing
all of your content in-house, but is machine transcribing
actually better than humans transcribing?
Or do you hire other humans?
What is your advice?
MORGEN DYE: Just to clarify my point,
I wouldn't recommend transcribing when you're
at the scale that we are.
We're delivering literally thousands
of hours of content per year.
That becomes highly unmanageable.
I can't speak for how much content
that you'd have on your website, but there
could be different options there for you.
I'll let these guys speak to the voice recognition,
the automation technology.
We've played around with it.
Where we get tripped up is the British accents.
Computers just, for some reason, really,
really struggle, especially when you have a diversity of accents
that our programming does have.
You'll have Scottish, Welsh, Northern Ireland,
all various neighbourhoods and regions of London.
It becomes quite confusing very quickly for the computer.
But I'll let these guys speak to that.
[INAUDIBLE]
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Again, we need high quality, pretty fast
turnaround transcripts.
But for the digital team, we have been--
if we need to transcribe an interview that would later
become an article on our site, Trent is not a bad option.
It's one of those machine-generated transcripts.
You do have to put in punctuation
and who's speaking and stuff like this,
but it's a slightly more easier way to get into things.
Again, it's scaled at--
once you have something transcribed through them,
it still requires a decent amount of time
to make it look usable.
JOHN LUTHER: You should just hire Josh.
It shortens it.
JOSH MILLER: Yeah, use case and resources available internally
will really dictate what makes sense for you guys, for sure.
JOHN LUTHER: It's getting better much faster,
but there's the notion of the two-pass transcription.
You run it through the machine, the computer,
and what you get back is most OK.
The accuracy rates used to be abysmal.
They're getting much, much better.
And then you have a human being make sure
that everything is correct and sort of tweak it.
And that can really help reduce the cost tremendously,
because again, preface to later, all the major cloud computing
companies are doing this.
But I'd like to say that their motives are
pure for accessibility, but it's not.
They're all doing it for their little speakers.
But that has really helped this stuff get much better much
quickly, because they're investing millions and millions
of dollars in that.
Because they want you talking to every device in your house.
MORGEN DYE: There's always a middle ground, too,
where you can send it off and let the automation,
the computers do the work.
And then it comes back to you, and perhaps someone internally
fine-tunes it, if you will.
Again, don't ever-- my advice to folks
out there doing this is to not be afraid to bring some of it
in-house and to learn to do some basic things.
It is very, very helpful to be able to just--
and don't be overly reliant on your vendors.
Your vendors are great.
They're lovely, but you need to be
able to do some of the things yourself.
JOSH MILLER: A question over there?
AUDIENCE: Someone just spoke about Trent.
My question is, these companies produce a transcript,
but in terms of the captions which are produced,
I'm not sure the quality is that great.
Because, I mean, it is clean-up required
of the transcript, but even things
like segmentation and all those things.
And very often we see that the output is not
even there, just like [? chokes. ?] Companies
that actually do ASR I'm saying don't produce good captions.
JOSH MILLER: Yeah, so that's an important point.
So he's saying, just to make sure everyone understands,
that these applications of speech technology
aren't quite positioned for captioning.
And John just alluded to that as well.
Dan, do you want to clarify the use case?
Because it's a little bit different.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Yeah, absolutely.
So when I spoke of Trent, we use it purely
for in-development content.
It might do this--
I don't know-- but we don't use it
for captioning or anything like that.
It's for the writer, the writer's own notes
to refer to back to really easily and be
able to play that part of the audio
file really easily alongside the text.
So that can be super useful for like [INAUDIBLE] stuff.
JOSH MILLER: So a good example of the use case
is think about a reality television show.
For that one-hour show that we see,
there's probably 40 hours of content,
maybe 50 hours of content that they
have to whittle down and make interesting.
It's pretty boring otherwise.
So one of the ways they do that is actually
have someone, like a production assistant, essentially,
making notes or transcribing, if they're really unlucky,
all of that content to help the writers figure out
what segments they want to have in there.
So that's one way to think about it.
It's the same idea, just done a little bit differently.
But in the reality TV case, they don't want
that content going anywhere.
Because especially if it's a competition-based show,
that content gets out, the show's over.
Yeah?
AUDIENCE: Just to follow up on from the woman from New Jersey,
I work for a public school district in Connecticut.
And I know you guys have some skin
in the game with your services.
But a neighbouring district got cited by OCR
for inaccessibility.
And through their conversations with OCR for videos,
in particular, YouTube became an option for them.
We're struggling with whether or not
that's a real viable option, because, again, it's
just speech-to-text.
It's maybe 80% accurate.
There's plenty of errors, like you
showed in your opening with the New England Aquarium
not coming out right.
Have you had conversations with OCR about where
their level of tolerance is?
Because, again, as a public district,
we have to argue for every dollar.
And to make an argument on one side or the other,
we're going to have to some more background.
So I was just curious on your thoughts
on the tolerability of OCR.
And where do you think the trends are heading?
JOSH MILLER: So I'll say something,
and then you guys should add.
So I think they've all touched on, I think,
really important points, that there
are some things you can use those tools for and then
do a little bit yourself, if that's
one way to keep costs down.
There is a pretty big lawsuit right now that cites YouTube
captains not being good enough.
That's the MIT/Harvard lawsuit.
So they actually do cite that the YouTube captions that are
there, they're not acceptable.
So based on what we've seen, we would say don't rely on that.
But YouTube also does have some do-it-yourself tools
that are very good, so that you could start with that
and then, if you have a couple of resources in-house, help
clean it up yourself to keep the cost down.
So that is a viable approach.
It's just a matter of understanding
that that is necessary still.
So I think we've heard a little bit of that here as well.
I don't know if anyone wants to add to--
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Yeah, we just heard from teachers
that they're really reluctant to show videos
with the YouTube-generated captions,
not only because of the errors.
But the algorithm learns nasty words
and puts it in front of the screen.
JOSH MILLER: John alluded to something very important,
that the engines are not there for educational content.
That's for sure.
They have ulterior motives, and I
don't think they would really hide that if you really
pushed them on it.
But it's very real, and it does affect the vocabulary.
JOHN LUTHER: I actually know the guy who
manages all that stuff at YouTube,
and they are getting very--
it's getting better.
And he's deaf.
He does it for accessibility.
He's a great guy.
I tried to convince him--
Ken, yeah-- to come, but he couldn't make it.
But we have a caption [? centre ?] as well
on our platform.
So again, you could just run it through YouTube,
don't publish it, take their output.
If being on YouTube is what is concerning
to you, like that you don't manage your own ads
or whatever reasons people don't want to go on to YouTube,
you could use them as your transcription service
as your first pass.
Upload the videos, but don't publish them.
Let it generate the captions.
Download those.
Then you can export them in--
I don't even know what formats there are.
And then tweak them and then put them on your own platform.
JOSH MILLER: And the person he's referring to,
the engineer at Google, he started
the auto-captioning project.
He's fantastic, and he will admit they're not quite there.
I mean, he's deaf.
He knows very well what they can do.
But also, the point is, it's better than nothing.
It's a start, and that's the point,
is it should be recognised as a start.
AUDIENCE: I have a question--
may I-- about audio description.
I apologise if this is redundant.
I came in only at the end of the last session.
I wanted to know if any of you are doing
audio description at scale.
I'm in a position where I'm consulting to some very,
very large vendors-- to very large corporations that have
hundreds, thousands of videos--
and the cost is getting out of hand for doing it
in the old-fashioned way.
You have a writer who writes scripts.
And if they're just for employees--
we don't have broadcast standards.
We can edit the video to work with the description.
But it's getting unwieldy, so I was wondering if any of you
have experience of producing at scale.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Can you clarify audio description
for video?
Are you referring to captions or--
AUDIENCE: No, for just sight-impaired,
so describing what's happening on screen
for people who can't see the screen.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Yes, we have.
JOSH MILLER: Yeah, [? very helpful. ?]
The radio's back in.
[LAUGHTER]
JOHN LUTHER: Yet again, later this afternoon,
just to build the suspense some more,
we are starting to explore doing this with machine learning
and OCR, meeting object and character recognition,
not the thing the gentleman alluded to earlier.
It's extremely difficult. I mean, we can recognise--
and I'll show this later.
You can get very basic strings, meaning text,
about objects and verbs, what's going on.
And there are other companies--
the big companies, Google and Amazon--
they're all starting to try to do this as well.
I don't want to be pessimistic, but it's very, very difficult.
I think the transcription, like the very basic speech-to-text,
the transcription of what's said--
I'm a lot more optimistic than most people
about how soon we will have 100% machine-generated.
I think it's within the next two years.
It's just going to happen.
It's getting so much better, so much faster.
The description-- it's very difficult to do with a machine
unless you have just endless computing resources.
Some companies do.
So I wish I had a better answer for you.
Right now, it's just very hard to do with a machine.
MORGEN DYE: Yeah, we're in the same boat, I'd say.
If you find out the answer, please let us know.
Yeah, I don't know anyone who's using the automation for AD
right now.
And right now, we're really just trying
to wrap our heads around the different styles
that we're seeing out there.
Our parent company and the BBC Public Service
has a lot of audio description, and we're
looking at what they're doing.
We're seeing a lot of people out in the digital space--
actually, not a lot-- but those who
are engaging in audio description,
it's very heavily scripted.
It's a lot of fun.
It's very engaging.
It's very much in the tone and tenor of the rest
of the programme.
And then we're seeing other services
where it's much more of a monotone experience,
and we're trying to figure out for those
that rely upon audio description what sort of preferences
that they would like to see.
So we're still very much in the discovery phase.
I don't have any advice or tips or tricks of how
you manage this at scale.
I think we're all in the same boat,
and I think we're all trying to figure that out
and seeing what sort of technology
comes around the corner.
JOSH MILLER: So I'll say we launched
the service a year ago--
well, just under a year ago.
And one of the reasons we actually got into it
was, one, certainly demand and the requirement for it.
But we actually recognised that there were no scalable
solutions out there.
And then you wonder why.
So is it because the market's not there?
Well, no, the market's coming.
So what's happening?
Well, a lot of it's kind of like what we would say
is captioning 10 years ago, which it was very expensive.
People put up a big fight saying,
you can't make us spend all this money.
Otherwise we can't publish our content.
So there's been that tension for a long time,
that it's been so expensive--
I would say, in this case, even more so than captioning ever
was.
It's so hard that it is really--
it really is hard to bring enough efficiency
to bring the cost down.
And that is totally what we're focused on right now,
and trying to do that.
But it's hard, and there's only so much you can automate.
And so what we're seeing is that a lot of networks, which
is where it often starts in the broadcast world,
have been very successful lobbying the government to say,
you can't force us to do this because it's so expensive.
And this will blow up budgets.
And so that's still there a little bit.
And I think a lot of companies are
scared to get into it because there isn't a way to--
it's hard to see how you make it more efficient.
MORGEN DYE: Just real quick.
There's an interesting thing with entertainment content
that we're also trying to figure out,
which is very, very similar to foreign language dubbing, where
you have to have a very specific voice actor.
Some are contracted with certain programmes.
Some are always working with the exact same actor.
They're always the voice for actor A.
But something I'd love to see more of,
and I think actually AD would very much benefit from,
is there being a push to move some
of the responsibility for this upstream,
to move it up towards production.
That's something I'm pushing for.
It's definitely very much a fight.
But think about audio description.
They're the ones that actually might be best served to create
the best experience there.
That's not really a piece of advice.
I don't know if you can apply it in your situation,
but it's just another thing to consider.
JOSH MILLER: When we started, one
of the things we noticed also in the AD space,
with blind/low vision users, that's an area where the user
experience is probably even harder to understand
than captioning.
And captioning, the nice thing is you write what you hear.
It's a little more straightforward,
whereas with audio description, there
is a lot more nuance to it.
So the idea of the same voice actor for a certain type
of show--
Disney is famous for this.
They are very, very careful about the voice
actor for every single show or for every movie.
They're very, very careful.
But then if you go out and survey users,
you'll hear things like, well, I prefer synthesised voice
because now I know it's not the dialogue.
Well, that changes everything.
And you're not going to get the same answer, by any means,
across the board, but it's not as clear.
JOHN LUTHER: Has anybody tried Mechanical Turk for this?
Or do you know?
I don't know.
Amazon has this service called Mechanical Turk
that basically--
I don't know how they do it, but they pay human beings
to do tasks, repetitive tasks.
Some people used to use them for transcription.
I don't know if they've tried them for audio description yet.
Does anyone--
AUDIENCE: Mechanical Turk, in our experience, [INAUDIBLE]..
JOHN LUTHER: Not good?
Yeah.
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] [? very variable, ?]
and it's [INAUDIBLE].
JOSH MILLER: So we'll take one more question.
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] with transcription, though.
JOSH MILLER: Yeah, fair enough.
AUDIENCE: We have a question on the side.
JOSH MILLER: Yeah, question on the side here,
and we'll wrap up.
AUDIENCE: It used to be that--
I'm sorry.
[INAUDIBLE]
It used to be that IBM dominated this technology,
and they were the first ones out with it.
And they used the model of Noam Chomsky,
who's the father of American linguistics up at MIT.
And that was their model before they abandoned
it and they sold it off.
Have you ever had access to those old programmes that they
had?
Because even Google now, they've gone back with the AI,
and they released Google Assist.
I worked on part of it for a while.
And they worked on that, and Google went back
to Chomsky's transformational grammar, which he had abandoned
when it became political.
So do you go back to see those programmes?
Do you know those engineers who are still
alive with IEEE who also go between Google, Apple,
and the French systems?
And you're talking about OCR.
That's a little easier to do than the audio and whatnot.
Or you're having a problem doing Spanish,
but if you speak many languages, like you speak in England,
which over there-- so you have access to a fantastic
polyglot of languages.
So you have access to also Cambridge, Oxford, all this.
And you go over to Polytech in France,
who always work together in order
to compete in the European markets
against the American markets.
And they're also very good at language,
and they just establish a law.
My question is kind of three-tier.
I'm sorry about that.
They also passed a law that you have to inform someone
that they're not speaking, because the technology is
really good now.
You have to inform someone that they're not
speaking to a machine.
JOSH MILLER: Do you guys want to take a shot?
JOHN LUTHER: What's the question?
JOSH MILLER: So, one, do we have access
to the original research, and do we go back to that?
Is that fair?
For the IBM, the core research--
AUDIENCE: To Noam Chomsky's translational grammar,
which is very popular.
JOSH MILLER: Right.
So I can say that there's been a big push towards what's
called deep neural networks, which
is kind of the next version--
AUDIENCE: Now, you can't just use it.
The person has to know they're not speaking to a machine,
because the technology is there.
JOSH MILLER: Right.
JOHN LUTHER: Well, yeah, I mean, I don't know what model IBM--
so we've tested Watson.
We've tested Google's services, Microsoft's.
We haven't tested Amazon's yet.
If I think-- if this is your question--
which of them is the most accurate or--
AUDIENCE: Google's [INAUDIBLE] [? is. ?]
JOHN LUTHER: Yeah, we've found Google's--
AUDIENCE: They just released a beta [INAUDIBLE]..
Google [INAUDIBLE].
They released it like two years ago.
So when you were talking about YouTube,
which Google [INAUDIBLE],, both Google and at Google Assist,
which is more of a [? modern ?] technology--
I don't know if you're familiar [INAUDIBLE]
Google [INAUDIBLE] access.
[INAUDIBLE]
JOHN LUTHER: Oh, yeah, I used to work there.
There's plenty of resources at Google.
But the Watson-- all these guys--
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] Watson, [INAUDIBLE]..
JOHN LUTHER: Yeah, to be honest with you,
Watson has not impressed us much.
I don't know why.
Google has certainly been the most accurate and fastest.
And again, I think, to your point,
because they place a very high priority on--
for a number of reasons, but also
to compete with the other cloud services.
I mean, two years ago, what they had developed previously
for YouTube--
I talked to Ken about this two years ago or something.
I said, well, when are you going to release
a public API for this?
And he was like, good luck, never,
because we wanted to be the best for YouTube.
That's a whole different world now.
There is a very public API in Google Cloud Platform
for doing this.
But yeah, I was just playing around with an app
the other day on my phone that does real-time transcription.
I can't remember what it's called.
AUDIENCE: Google?
JOHN LUTHER: No, no, not a Google product.
It was a startup.
Basically live transcription real-time
of a voice-to-text to chat for people to chat with each other.
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] Is it Google [INAUDIBLE]??
JOHN LUTHER: No, it's not a Google product.
JOSH MILLER: So I can say, to the point about Noam Chomsky,
a lot of the core research and the models
that are being developed are still in the universities--
no question-- and that you've got professors leading research
on--
and that's where it's all coming out of still.
Now, what the cloud services are doing,
they're layering on top of that and tuning it
to a specific application.
But the core research is still largely coming out
of the universities, so we're seeing that.
But unfortunately we need to--
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] Are you also planning
to get resources from a disability app
like [INAUDIBLE],, or these companies
that the government requires these companies to do
[INAUDIBLE]?
JOSH MILLER: It would be nice.
So I want to quickly wrap up.
If there's anything you want to close with,
what piece of advice for someone getting started--
what would you say is the first thing
to think about for someone getting started?
And then we'll wrap it up.
MORGEN DYE: Again, I think for me,
it's just spending a lot of time paying attention and watching
programmes with accessibility features enabled.
That's where everyone should start.
You don't understand it until you actually experience it.
So go out there and turn those features on on your favourite
programmes, and define for yourself and discover
for yourself what makes a good accessibility experience.
And then only from there can you actually
make probably the best decisions.
Go for it.
JOHN LUTHER: Yeah, I would second that.
Instal [? Jaws. ?] Just start playing around with this stuff.
Talk to people.
You know what I mean?
Actually surveys or just direct conversations
with people about what the best experience for them is.
Also, I'd just say not to get overwhelmed, because it
can be very overwhelming.
Especially if you have a very large catalogue of content
and you're like, god, how are we ever even going
to begin to tackle this, just take it one bird at a time.
Is that what the old adage is?
MORGEN DYE: Real quick, sorry.
I'd say just come to events like this.
You're off to a great start if you're
coming to events like this.
Ask questions and meet people who
are better at doing this stuff.
DANIEL PETERSCHMIDT: Yeah, thirding all that.
And if you're on the side of getting
to convince other people, then to start with,
the cost benefit, but then the empathy side of it, too.
It can be easy to get frustrated sometimes.
But if you try to ignore that and
then just go for understanding and--
yeah, but obviously-- yeah.
JOSH MILLER: Great.
Well, please join me in thanking everyone here.
[APPLAUSE]
Really appreciate it.

Walmart Is Selling 'Impeach 45' Clothing For July 4th, Now America Is Pushing Back - Duration: 3:49.
Walmart Just Stabbed All Of America In The Back With What's In Stores Now For July
4th.
Of all the retailers in the country, Walmart is typically branded one of the most American
companies.
They profit heavily from their reputation of patriotic values, and being the picture
of success from capitalism, hard work, and the fruits of pursuing the American dream,
despite using cheap overseas labor to produce a glutenous amount products, one of which
has just hit shelves right in time Independence Day.
Their cheap products and underpaid retail labor aren't what makes America great, but
they apparently don't think the Donald Trump does either, as the President of the United
States.
Walmart has likely seen a massive increase in sales within the first seven months of
Trump's presidency, with all that he's done for the economy.
However, that hasn't stopped them from licking the gift horse in the mouth.
Rather than respectfully celebrating the country that has been made better under a president,
who truly loves the U.S. to sacrifice and work endlessly to make it great, Walmart has
flipped the proverbial finger in Trump's face and those who support him.
A sickening message on a shirt is now really going to cost the company far more than they
know.
Rather than capitalizing on sales of a cheap t-shirt for people to wear on the holiday,
to parades, and other festivities, a mass boycott has begun proving that Americans love
what Trump has done, more than they like supporting a store who is trying to profit on hate.
Fox News reports:
Walmart has found itself on the receiving end of a torrent of outrage, after it was
discovered Monday that the superstore was selling anti-Trump "Impeach 45" apparel
on its website.
The outcry sparked a hashtag BoycottWalmart trend on Twitter as users expressed, their
distaste for the chain promoting the impeachment of President Trump, echoing some Congressional
Democrats.
Ryan Fournier, chairman of the group Students for Trump, was one of the first to discover
Walmart was selling the clothing item, according to the International Business Times.
He asked the company in a tweet, "What kind of message are you trying to send?"
One user accused Walmart of joining the "far left."
Old Glory is the company that sells the "Impeach 45" apparel and it's not the only one.
A quick search on Walmart.com revealed three other companies selling Trump impeachment
merchandise.
A search for "Make America Great Again" apparel yielded plenty of hats, T-shirts and
coffee mugs as well.
This is not a company that can continue to brand themselves as "all American" while
attempting, to sell grossly divisive wares like this for a profit, and it's not the
first time.
Fox News reminded readers that Walmart previously "came under fire in November, after a shirt
design that read Rope.
Tree.
Journalist.
SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED was listed on its website through an outside company."
A single incident of insanely poor judgment could potentially be forgiven, however, this
is becoming a trend for the retailer to abandon all respect and decency in exchange for potential
profit, by seeing how far they can push the bar with their products.
It's backfired and Walmart is about to receive the full wrath of the so-called "Trump curse."
Boycotts work, as the overwhelming demise of the NFL should have shown them.
They'll just have to learn the hard way now.
Show Walmart this short is unacceptable and demand they remove it from stores now by signing
the petition.
Let's flood the retailer with a patriotic wave of signatures that show support for President
Trump!

Tony Cooke New Creation Church Longmont - Duration: 48:26.
amen well if you have your Bibles go ahead and open them to Ephesians chapter
2 I'm gonna be talking with you today about two topics that you're probably
pretty familiar with but they're two of the pillars two of the most important
aspects of truth from God's Word that we can understand we're gonna be talking
about grace the grace of God and we're going to be talking about faith and
we're we're not so much just gonna single out grace and teach on it and
we're not just so much going to single out faith and teach on faith but I
really want to emphasize today we really want to focus on how do grace and faith
work together one of the most important things we can do as we study the Bible
is not just isolate a topic and study that topic as though that were the only
topic in the Bible because anytime you do that if you isolate a topic and don't
see how it works with the rest of the body of truth you you can take that one
topic and really end up with a distorted convoluted perspective
because really no single Bible truth operates in a vacuum faith does not
operate in a vacuum grace does not operate in a vacuum
so we want to focus today there's nothing wrong with studying individual
topics but at some point in the process you want to make sure to study how does
this topic integrate with the larger body of truth and so today we're just
gonna look at grace and faith in particular and examine and explore how
do grace and faith work together how many of you remember when you were in
first grade second grade do you remember can you think back that
far and do you remember I remember my report cards because my mother kept all
of my report cards and to this day I've got them in a box and you know once
every three years I'm going and I'll see those and and honestly I didn't do as
well as I wish I had but the you have our grade cards when I grew up
on the left side you had actual grades you know how did you do in spelling how
did you do in history or whatever topics they were teaching at that level but on
the right side of our report cards there were more character issues do you
remember those character issues you know punctual completes work on time and they
had both positive and negative sometimes there would be you know annoys others
work carelessly done I'm not going to tell
you which of those I some tiger some check marks I'm not proud of but you
know one of the one of the positive check marks you could get one of the
positive check marks was plays well with others do you remember that plays well
with others and so really one of the points we want to talk about today is
that grace and faith play well with each other
all right the the attributes that God has and the spiritual gifts and if I can
use the term spiritual forces that God makes available for the Christian
there's a harmonious almost teamwork amongst the principles of God I've heard
some people talk about faith and grace as though they were almost competitive
as almost they were in contradiction to each other I remember somebody once
saying I used to be a faith person but now I'm a grace person and my thought
was when when did you have to choose between grace and faith they're they're
both part of God's plan for our life so anyway in Ephesians chapter 2 it's
talking about something really important it's really talking about our salvation
which deals with how how do we know that we are right with God how do we know
that our relationship with him is right that we're in right standing with him
that we've been accepted and forgiven and so on and Ephesians 2:8 chapter 2
verse 8 says for by grace you have been saved through faith notice gray
and faith work together for our salvation I guess it's okay to say that
we're saved by grace and I suppose it's okay to say that we're saved by faith
but but really here Paul is emphasizing the teamwork and the
partnership we are saved by grace through faith so grace and faith have
this kind of partnership that work together for our benefit and it says for
by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is
the gift everybody say gift I'll tell you one of the most important things we
can understand about God and His nature toward us is that he he he bestows
things upon us as a gift and whenever you hear the word grace it doesn't hurt
just to go ahead and think of God gifting you something you did not earn
something you did not merit something you did not deserve by grace you are
saved through faith and that not of yourselves you didn't originate it did
you know that you're getting saved wasn't even your idea you're getting
saved was God's idea before you ever had a sin that needed to be forgiven God had
already sent Jesus to die for you and for me so that we can God had a solution
for us before we ever had a problem God had forgiveness for us through Jesus
before we ever had a need of forgiveness for by grace when we say by grace that
generally is referring to the initiating of God blessing toward us a kindness of
mercy a goodness that bestows upon us God's heart and God's provision grace is
God gifting us with His blessing when we did not earn it we did not deserve it
and then by grace are you saved through faith faith is our response to the grace
of God Martin Luther says this faith is the yes of the heart faith
means that when God does something and when God communicates something that we
accept what he says that we trust in his integrity and in his character by grace
are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God
notice these next words in verse 9 it is not of what it is not of works meaning
it's not of your works not of human works I didn't earn it I didn't become
good enough my performance didn't rise to some level of perfection whereby you
know I could tell God I don't need anything from you I'm in right
relationship without you it's not of my works it's not of my efforts it's not of
my performance it is not of works lest any man should boast
so what we're understanding here so far is that grace God's provision and faith
the response of the heart to what God has said and done brings salvation to us
grace and faith partner cooperatively and harmoniously for our benefit to
enable us to receive the gift that God gives that we call salvation that we
don't work for we don't earn it we don't deserve it we receive it as a gift you
know in a few weeks there's gonna be Christmas and you know people are gonna
exchange some gifts and you know when when gifts are given we have this
understanding the gift is is free right you know wouldn't it be strange if one
of your friends handed you a gift and and then you know after you said thank
you for the gift they said by the way here's the receipt you know you can make
that check out to me and you know things like that wait a minute that's not a
gift if they're handing you a bill for it all right now but the fact that the
gift is free it means it's free to the recipient doesn't mean it's free to the
giver right cost the giver something when we say
salvation is free what we mean is it's free to us but it costs Jesus a lot all
right so we would almost get the impression from this notice as we look
at this in Ephesians 2:8 and 9 we would almost get the impression that our works
are not important right because our salvation is not produced by our works
and and it's true on that end of the equation but look at verse 10 because
verse 10 one of the best ways to make sure we understand the Bible is just to
read a lot of it don't just read an isolated verse when maybe the next verse
is going to provide further qualification or maybe present it from
the different angle so verse 9 tells us our salvation is not of works so that we
can't boast about anything but look at verse 10 for we are his workmanship so
God is working we are God's workmanship how many of you are still a work in
progress how many of you haven't reached that point of ultimate perfection yet
you know you can't say you know God you know look you there's just no improving
this I'm just as you know none of us can ever say that all right we're still a
work in progress I'm still learning I'm still growing I'm still developing and
maturing and things of that nature so we are his workmanship we have been created
in Christ Jesus notice this next little phrase for good works so notice our
salvation is not based on works I'm not saved by my works but I am saved
what for good works here's here's what we could say works are not the root of
my salvation but good works are supposed to be the fruit of my salvation
I'm not saved by works but I'm saved for works and grace and faith are the
foundation the basis for all of this we are his workmanship created in Christ
Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them
notice I don't have to try to do every kind of work imaginable how many of you
know there are more needs in the world then you can personally ever meet and if
you think it's your responsibility to meet every possible need in the world
you know you're probably gonna die very young from exhaustion and stress and
everything else but if you understand that God prepared you and prepared
certain works beforehand for you to walk in then you don't have to try to do
everything you just have to find out God what are the works you want me to do who
are the people you want me to serve what are the needs you want me to you know
channel my life efforts toward so we're by grace through faith or we save grace
and faith work together for us to receive what God has for us and we're
not saved by our works but we're saved on to good works let's look at another
passage in Romans chapter 5 we're talking again about how grace and faith
work together grace and faith are friends grace and faith partner together
for our benefit Romans 5 verse 1 says therefore having been justified by faith
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ you know what this word
means justified we may not use that word a lot but it basically means to be
declared righteous to be put in right standing with God we are no longer
alienated from God we are no longer in nice of God we are no longer separated
from God God has declared us righteous and he has put us in right standing with
himself we have been justified notice by faith by trusting God by taking him at
his word by having our faith in what Jesus did for us we've been justified or
made right with God now notice verse two because this is
going to give us some insight through whom through Jesus we have access
everybody access now if you're gonna go to Denver if you're here and you're
wanting to go down to Denver you're gonna take 66 is that the highway out
here or what's the other ones south 119 you're gonna take one of those roads
east until you come to interstate 25 and you are going to look for what you're
gonna look for an access ramp because you want to get from the highway that
you're on going east you want to get on to a highway and interstate going south
so you're going to look for an access ramp well the Bible says that through
Jesus we have access by faith think of think of faith trust confidence
believing God faith is an access ramp by faith we have access we have access by
faith into this grace so faith is what gives us access into the grace of God
now how many of you realized that God has grace God has mercy compassion
toward everybody the Bible says for God so what loved the world that He gave
what his only begotten Son that whoever will believe on Him should not perish
but have everlasting life you know what that is that's grace
that's God demonstrating his love for us when we weren't even born yet when we
weren't even interested in God many of us had a period of our life where we
were running away from God not the least bit interested in him but God had
already made provision for us because he loved us so much he sent Jesus to die on
the cross for us so that believing on him we will never perish but we will be
the possessors of eternal life and Paul says we have access by faith into this
grace so think of faith as the access ramp think of grace as you know the big
interstate that you're accessing so that you can get to your destination Paul
says we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand so don't ever
let anybody tell you that you have to choose between grace and faith grace is
everything that God has done for us faith is our trust
reliance confidence and acceptance of what God has done for us and grace and
faith work together Paul said in Ephesians 2:8 by grace are you saved
through faith and in Romans chapter 5 verse 2 he says we have access by faith
into this grace in which we stand now let me cover with you a few
misconceptions if I can about grace and faith one misconception and I've alluded
to this already is that grace stands alone that all you need is God's grace
well God's grace is wonderful God's grace is tremendous God's grace is
life-changing but God's grace alone God never intended for His grace to be the
only element of his nature operating in his in
our lives grace was designed to work cooperatively with other spiritual
elements to produce the right benefits in our life and let me give you a couple
of examples of that look in your Bible in Titus chapter 2 verse 11 and let's
see the functioning of grace see it's one thing to talk about what grace
provides but it's another thing to talk about what grace produces grace provides
salvation but we accept Grace and salvation by faith so again grace always
works cooperatively with other aspects of God's nature and other spiritual
principles that he established so we're talking about the fact that grace was
never meant to stand alone that grace works cooperatively with other spiritual
principles Titus chapter 2 verse 11 says for the grace that brings salvation
do you know something you don't have to go looking for salvation grace brings
salvation the grace that brings salvation has appeared to all men now
notice it doesn't say all men have accepted it does it it doesn't say all
men have received it it says the grace that brings salvation has appeared to
all men now let me ask you a question when God's grace appeared to you what
did you say ultimately you said yes now how many of you didn't say yes the first
time that God's grace was made available there are some statistics now they their
people have done research and found out that today in today's society when
people accept Jesus as their Savior when they say yes to the love of God the
mercy of God the grace of God when they go ahead and give
their life did Jesus receive his gift of eternal life they they have found that
people today who accept Jesus typically do so on about their eighth
consideration the actual statistic is seven point eight so the average person
who accepts Jesus has heard and maybe felt a tug felt a little bit of
conviction but they they didn't say yes the first time they didn't say yes the
second time the average person says yes on the 7.8 time how many of you took
that long let me see your hand you you you had a lot of invitations before you
finally said yes in anybody here you just accepted Jesus the first time you
okay boy you got some good people in here but but you know so if if some
people accept Jesus on the first time and the average is say approximately
eight then there's somebody else who didn't accept Jesus till the sixteenth
time to you know come up with an average so we aren't you glad that God is
long-suffering and that God is merciful and that God gives people you know some
opportunities and chances and so on but the grace of God Titus 2:11 that brings
salvation has appeared to all men teaching us grace does more than just
bring salvation to you grace does more than just bring forgiveness to you the
grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men teaching us that
denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and
godly in this present age isn't that interesting
see with all these different verses what we're seeing is there's different sides
of the issue like for example back in Ephesians 2 we're not saved by works but
we are saved on good works here we find out that grace
brings salvation to us in other words we don't have to go out and earn it and
deserve it grace brings salvation to us and you know what grace says grace says
it doesn't matter what you've done it doesn't matter how many times you've sin
it doesn't matter what what's in your past grace brings salvation it's a gift
but you know what the same grace that brings salvation to you as a gift
irrespective of whatever you've done in your past doesn't then say now that I'm
bringing salvation to you as a gift you can keep on doing whatever you want
no grace then says okay I've given you this gift of salvation this gift of
forgiveness now let me teach you how to live a godly life it doesn't mean you're
gonna be flawlessly perfect and never make a mistake
but but it means that the same grace that brings us eternal life based on the
mercy of God the same grace that brings us life will then begin to teach us and
train us how to live a godly life style so we see that grace doesn't make
holiness unnecessary grace makes holiness for our future possible it
brings us salvation which which eradicate sar past sin but then grace
begins to empower us to live a godly life in the here and the now let me show
you another thing that grace will do hebrews chapter 12 verse 28 Hebrews
12:28 the writer of Hebrews says this therefore since we are receiving a
kingdom which cannot be shaken aren't you glad to belong and be
part of the kingdom of God have you noticed that everything in the world is
being shaken every kind of institution you know there's just a shaking that's
been going on and if your faith and your peace is based on the world system guess
what you're gonna be shaken with it but we have received every base a
received we have received a kingdom which cannot be shaken so what do we do
let us have grace let us have the provision of God let us have the
abounding of God toward us with all of His goodness let us have grace by which
we may serve God except ibly with reverence and godly fear now how many of
you know that in order to get salvation you don't have to serve God you
understand that in other words what would you think if somebody said now if
you will usher for one hundred services you will earn your salvation and your
forgiveness what would you think of that well that's wrong you don't earn
forgiveness and salvation by doing enough good works but but the fact that
we don't earn salvation by our works because salvation is a what it's a gift
but the fact that we received that gift doesn't mean that we oh well I can't
earn salvation so therefore there's no need to serve God know the Bible says we
have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken let us then have grace whereby we
may serve God except ibly see we don't serve God in order to get saved we serve
God because we are saved Paul said we are his workmanship created
in Christ Jesus for good works but we're not saved by our works are you getting
this grace and faith work together but we need to understand that that when we
when we live by faith we are responding positively to God's grace and that
involves living a holy life by His empowerment serving God by His
empowerment that's why the Bible says let us have grace whereby we may serve
God except ibly grace enables us to serve God in a manner that is pleasing
and acceptable to him let's look at one other passage here 2nd Corinthians
chapter 9 verse 8 2nd Corinthians chapter 9 verse 8 now what if what if
somebody told you now if you'll dif you'll give so much money in the
offering every week God will love you can you buy God's love what if somebody
told you if you'll give so much money in the offering every week you'll you'll be
able to go to heaven what would you say about that no you can't buy heaven you
can't buy God's love God's love His grace his provision is given
unconditionally we don't serve in order to earn God's love we serve because we
have a thankful heart for how much God has loved us we don't give in order to
get God to love us or accept us we give out of gratefulness and gratitude and
obedience thanking God that he has loved us 2nd Corinthians chapter 9 verse 8
says and God is able to make all what all grace abound toward you that you
always having sufficiency in all in all things now if you read this Hulk
if you read all the material around this he's really not talking about spiritual
things here you know what he's talking about he's really talking about money
finance provision because what they're doing here is they are what Paul is
talking about that the Christians in Jerusalem have have been devastated by
famine and persecution and the Christians in Corinth which is in Greece
are going to take up an offering and send to the poor Christians in Jerusalem
and so he's saying to the Christians who are about to give generously God is able
to make all grace abound towards you so that you always having sufficiency in
all things talking about material things resources money may have an abundance
for every good work so here's what we see here grace does not make generosity
unnecessary see we don't say well well I can't I can't purchase my salvation by
giving money in the offering salvation is from grace therefore I'm not going to
give no the Bible says God is able to make all grace abound towards you so
that you having all sufficiency may have an abundance for every good work grace
does not make generosity unnecessary grace makes generosity possible grace
does not make holiness unnecessary grace makes holiness possible when we
understand how how grace operates and how faith works together God blesses us
by grace and we respond in faith let me give you another point here that
something very important we talked about how people think grace operates in
isolation or grace operates by itself and we've seen from these scriptures
that it really doesn't when God gives us gray
it not only brings salvation to us but it empowers us to live a holy life it
empowers us to serve God accept ibly it empowers us to be generous toward others
but another thing that a misconception that people have when it comes to grace
and faith is they they believe that faith is is only about receiving
something from God now how many of you know faith is about receiving from God
by faith we receive what God provides by His grace but if you'll turn in your
Bibles to Hebrews chapter 11 I want to show you that faith and and Hebrews 11
is the most extensive concentrated verse by verse teaching on faith in the entire
Bible there are many places where many wonderful things are taught about faith
but the the most extensive most substantive most detailed teaching on
faith is in Hebrews 11 and as you begin to read all of the things that people
did by faith in Hebrews 11 you have to read a little bit before you get to
somebody receiving something by faith and-and-and-and receiving by faith is a
part of faith but it's not the only part look at Hebrews chapter 11 and verse 4
by faith Abel what did he do he offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than
Cain well when you offer a sacrifice in the Old Testament that's the same as
saying worship you know in the Old Testament when people said we're going
to go worship God nobody thought we're gonna go into a building and we're gonna
sing songs and clap our hands when people said we're gonna go worship God
you know what they meant we're gonna go give an offering to God we're gonna
offer a sacrifice to God so when
the Bible says by faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice the first
in this great chapter of faith the first thing that faith does is it worships God
faith doesn't receive something from God first in this list the first thing faith
does is worships God we move on a little bit here in verse 5 by faith Enoch was
taken away so that he did not see death and he was not found because God had
taken him for before he was taken he had this testimony that he pleased God when
you go back and study Enoch in the book of Genesis chapter 5 the emphasis in
Genesis 5:22 in Genesis 5:24 is that by faith Enoch walked with God and pleased
God so Enoch you know that's kind of a really unusual story in the Bible it's a
very exceptional situation Enoch kind of got raptured I think is the best way to
say it but but the reason he got raptured was because he walked with God
everybody say Enoch walked with God so the first example in the Bible of faith
and I'm talking about from the perspective of Hebrews 11 the first
example or the first illustration of faith is that we worship by faith
secondly that we walk with God by faith let's see what else is here Hebrews
chapter 11 verse 6 says but without faith it's impossible to please God
please him for he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him and why is it impossible to please
God without faith because faith is is what cooperates with
God faith is our response toward God as again Martin Luther said faith is the
yes of the heart and so without faith it's impossible to please God
look at verse 7 by faith Noah being divinely warned of things not yet seen
moved with godly fear prepared an ark for the saving of his household by which
he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according
to faith so first of all the first thing we see is that by faith we worship
number two by faith we walk with God and number three following the example of
Noah Noah prepared by faith Noah prepared by faith in his case it was an
ark and what did he do he worked and built the ark he worked and he built it
some people have the idea that that faith means that that you just sit back
and do nothing and God is going to drop everything in your lap but by faith Noah
prepared and and and the preparation involved building something working
something and one of the things that I think many Christians have have kind of
mistaken is they think that faith means that because you trust God you don't
have to prepare anything for your family or for your future or things like that
and they they use the statement by Jesus where Jesus said take no thought for
tomorrow and you know Jesus said that take no thought for tomorrow but when
you look at that in its context Jesus was saying don't be anxious don't be
worried Jesus was not against preparation he just didn't want people
preparing out of the raw kind of fear Noah had a godly fear or a
godly reverence he believed that God knew best and so he was going to follow
God's directions and prepare and build something according to what God told him
to build so we worshiped by faith we walk by faith we prepare by faith look
at verse 8 by faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out and to the place
which he would receive as an inheritance and he went out not knowing where he was
going so by faith Abraham obeyed we obey God by faith and finally it's not until
we get to verse 11 that we read this by faith Sara herself also received say
Sara received she received strength to conceive seed and she bore a child when
she was past the age because she judged him faithful who had promised that's
really the essence of what faith is is judging God faithful when you judge God
faithful you believe that he's bigger than the circumstance faith is never a
denial of reality faith is never a denial of the facts faith is judging God
faithful and when you judge God faithful you believe he's bigger than reality
he's bigger than the problems he's bigger than the facts you're facing so
by faith Sara received from God I don't in any way shape or form want to give
you the idea that we don't receive by faith because we do receive by faith but
if a Christian only thinks that faith is about receiving some kind of blessing
from God they are seeing such a narrow perspective of what faith is just in
these versus and we could teach through the
entire chapter and find other things that faith will prompt a person to do as
as they're being led by God but but we will worship God by faith we will walk
with God by faith and thereby please him we will prepare by faith working so that
we can God can build through us whatever God wants to build we will obey God by
faith like Abraham did and we will receive strength from God like Sarah did
and strength is just one of the many things that can be received by faith but
what I've wanted to share with you today is that grace and faith are wonderful
privileges for the Christian to have as tools from God to have grace in our life
that brings salvation to us to have grace in our life that teaches us and
trains us how to live a holy life to have grace in our life that enables us
to serve God accept ibly to have grace in our life which which helps create
provision from which we can be a generous and blessing to others and we
take grace and we combine it with faith trust reliance confidence in God judging
him faithful and then we find out that we're able to worship by faith walk by
faith prepare by faith obey by faith received by faith and all of a sudden
grace and faith become these two powerful weapons in the life of the
believer and they work cooperatively and and we've just looked at two issues
today we've looked at grace and faith what about if we were to talk about
grace and faith and wisdom what if we were to talk about grace and faith and
patience we are so well equal spiritually from the Bible and when we
when we know the Word of God and and all that we just become equipped in a way
that absolutely terrifies hell because when we know who we are when we know
what we have grace and faith and wisdom and patience and all the different tools
that God gives us but I want you to remember from today that that grace and
faith are not enemies grace and faith are not in opposition we need every tool
that God gives us somebody once said this if the only tool that you have in
your tool kit is a hammer it's amazing how much everything looks like a nail
and sometimes you know if we just get hung up on one doctrine where we just
have our favorite doctrine and that's all and you know okay god it's all about
grace it's all about grace well grace is important but sometimes we we also need
to operate in faith and some people think well it's all about faith I'm just
gonna trust God and believe God and claim his promises and all that but
God's saying you know what I'm also giving you wisdom to know how to
specifically address some of these things so you you ask for wisdom by
faith and God and His grace gives wisdom and then you do what wisdom dictates and
it's amazing how when you it's like Jesus said man shall not live by bread
alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God and what God wants
from us is the yes of our heart he wants us to say yes to his grace yes to his
wisdom yes to the fruit of the Spirit that he's trying to develop in our lives
yes to character yes to holiness yes to generosity yes to wisdom and and we'll
be a blessed people when we do that amen let's pray father in the name of Jesus
I want to thank you for your goodness and your mercy over each of our lives
and father I thank you that you're a God of grace that Lord when we sing about
Amazing Grace it really is true your love toward us your kindness your mercy
your goodness toward us you've been so good and Lord in your
goodness you sent the Holy Spirit to be our teacher and our guide and you gave
us the holy written Word of God so that we could know your will and father I
just pray that today your people will be strengthened that they'll be
strengthened with wisdom with peace and that father they'll be able to receive
everything that your grace is endeavoring to accomplish in their life
and that father their faith will be strong and Lord even if their faith
doesn't feel strong right now lord help them to know they don't need to feel
strong faith they just need to have a little bit of faith in a great big God
and and father we just thank you for helping us in every area of our lives
and I just feel led to pray right now I just sense in my spirit I wasn't
planning on saying this at all but there's some people here right now that
you're really facing some significant decisions and and even decisions that
have caused you some level of angst and and distress because you're you don't
want to do the wrong thing you want to do the right thing you want to make sure
you're headed the right direction and so just oh I want to pray for us especially
people that need wisdom regarding a decision that's in front of them if
that's you let me see your hand you you've got a decision in front of you
that has been causing you a degree of angst and you want wisdom for that the
Bible says if any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all men
liberally and he doesn't you know get down on us because we need his help his
wisdom so father you've seen the hands of people that that are facing these
decisions and Lord you know the intricate details of each and every
person's life and you know what's ahead of us Lord the the Word of God says that
the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and so father we submit every
one of these individuals to you right now Lord we just cast all of our cares
upon you right now and we believe that you're going to give each and every one
of us the wisdom that we need to make the right decision and Lord we just come
against fear the torment that that from the enemy that says you're gonna make
the wrong decision and you're gonna have all kinds of chaos in your life well
Lord none of us want to make the wrong decision and we believe that you're
gonna give us peace you're gonna give us wisdom and and Lord our hearts are gonna
be inclined to you so that we can hear your voice so that we can receive even
good counsel on this and and have the discernment to filter out what may be
bad advice that that certain ones are giving but father thank you that you
make the path clear thank you that you bear witness in in the hearts of these
men and women about the the decisions that they're making and and that you
give them assurance you give them confidence and you give them faith and
boldness to to step out in the right direction that you're leading them
father we thank you for it in Jesus name
