I'll live in AJ's podcast for your Monday.
Most wonderful show is keeping up with the Joneses.
Welcome to episode 210 of Keeping Up With The Joneses.
This week we're talking about authority with our dear friend David Campbell,
but before we get to that and before we introduce him,
AJ Jones is something very special about the day we're recording this.
There is. Today is the 10-year anniversary of the day that we
actually landed in the US to change our entire lives, basically, to move from Toronto and
being at TSCF and being with John and Carol to being at Grey Centre and serving Jeff and
Becky, today is the day.
Yeah, I was thinking about it because I have got the little thing on Apple photos, as that
was called, on this day.
And I realized that was the day that we landed at the airport.
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see me with a random, smiley, elderly woman.
And it was the first person I saw, but it was the first person I remember landing in
America.
She was a volunteer at the airport.
She had an American flag, and she was just her job was to welcome people.
So I just ran up to her, "Can I have a photo?
I'm new to America.
Oh my gosh, that's amazing."
And then if I remember correctly, we went to McDonald's and I had a super-sized breakfast
and thought, "I love the land of the free and the home of the brave."
Did you?
Did we go to McDonald's?
I don't remember.
Do you remember I was sick when we got here?
No.
Yep.
I remember a friend Brad saying, "Hey, just because they can super size, you don't always
need to."
I should write like a Welcome to America beginners guide about all the things that you need
to know that you might not know.
Yeah.
And we're 10 years, baby.
10 years.
So this day, I'm not nostalgic and I don't tend to remember things as you probably are
aware of.
I don't tend to remember dates or stuff like that,
but for whatever reason, being in America,
10 years, totally reminded me.
I'm so grateful, love America.
- Same. - Love that move.
- I've actually been thinking about it for months, babe.
I was sort of counting down inside my head
or inside my heart, however you wanna view it,
to today when it would be 10 years.
I don't know why.
I mean, I sort of, I don't know,
I expected something to happen today, maybe so will.
- I love your optimism.
730 p.m. on a Sunday night does matter maybe still most church services don't start until 730 at night
You mean you're expecting fireworks or I don't know I just I I've been excited about this day
So me too. I don't know I love it. Who knows I feel like my reward for being in America for 10 years is being in America for 10 years
Okay, I mean I've loved every part of it
Even though it's been really really hard things. There's been a love it really great highs and and not that many
any lows really. But all worth it. Oh, so worth it. Oh, I mean, I love, I love being here
too. If I could move a posse if people from Toronto to here, I'd be even happier, but
I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be allowed to do that.
All right. Well, what's happened this week? Tell me goodness. It's it feels funny, doesn't
it? Because it was sort of a strange week for us.
And so I actually don't even know what day it is today.
We ended the year with a bunch of unused vacation days.
Yeah.
And they don't roll over.
Nope.
So in order to be compliant with our HR and be well rested and the pizza boss, December
kind of looks like a patchwork quilt.
Yeah.
So like last week we worked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, then had off Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, yes, went to work today by teaching at the school Monday and Tuesday
and then we're off again.
Right.
summertime. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Except for Sunday.
Yeah.
With one Sunday in the mix.
So it's a little bit of, like I said, a patchwork quilt, but it's been glorious.
I taught on boundaries in first year.
You did.
And it was amazing.
I love that teaching.
Yeah.
It totally changed my life.
It did.
I would imagine the part of the reason the last 10 years have been so glorious is in part
because of boundaries.
 No, or yes.

I'm so grateful for the people who told me that message.
And I think I did Ephesians this week.
Oh, yes, you did.
I was wondering who taught and said, did you?
Well, that's what I was thinking.
I was like, gosh, who taught in second year?
Wait, it was me.
I mean, I really, I feel sort of discombobulated.
I kept waking up in the morning and thinking, what day is it?
Is it Saturday yet?
Is it Sunday yet?
You went verse by verse through Ephesians.
Yeah.
First by verse through Ephesians.
I love it.
I love anytime that you get to dive into the word of God and really mind things.
It's I think it's really exciting.
So yeah, it was very fun.
That was basically our week.
Even verse by verse through visions.
Yeah, I taught boundaries.
Yeah, we had a date on Tuesday night.
I meant to say Richard Vider start Monday night, Emily.
Yeah.
And was just absolutely fantastic.
Oh, good.
Oh, I just I loved his message.
She just absolutely fed me and it was glorious.
It was just beautiful to receive.
And I left feeling so full of the word of God.
So well done, Richard Viders, for sure.
- Good job.
I did hear a lot of great feedback about it.
I didn't get there on Monday night.
- I put link in the show notes for people who missed it
or you would like to be encouraged.
It's really, really good.
So that was Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
I don't even remember Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
I basically remember we were in a pajamas a lot.
- Well, Wednesday, we spent the whole day in pajamas
until I eventually had to put on clothes to take Abby the youth.
Oh, what a burden.
I know it was horrible.
But no, we went on the Christmas lights tour,
except you didn't go because Muggies wasn't feeling great.
So you stayed home with Muggs.
Annie, you stood up to go on Christmas lights tour.
No, it was really fun.
It's true.
Kind of loud.
Yeah, but fun.
Would I have enjoyed it?
No, you wouldn't have liked it at all.
Right.
Yeah.

So, yes.
It was amazing.
coming out in a rast just talking about it.
- And then Thursday, mostly let's be honest,
we cleaned our house.
- We did, we have,
aforementioned friend David Stain was,
is it true that we only tied our house
when we have gas coming?
- I think so.
- But pretty much it's like,
it's so bad, but it's kind of true.
I insulated the garage.
- You did, which hopefully is gonna solve
our heat fluctuation problem above the garage.
- Yeah, I'm fixing songs when we can
insulate in garage as the next.
You're just a man of men.
Wait, the men of, yes, the man of men.
There you go.
Yeah.
And then we did Christmas shopping?
I did.
Well, I did too, but you know nothing of that.
Oh, yes.

No.
Oh.
Maybe in the new year, if it works.
I'm nervous.
AJ is a high gifts person.

And I mean, I thought you put pressure on me.
Well, usually we do like Amazon lists or something and say, here's
something I would like.
Is that what you do?
I've never looked at your Amazon wishlist.
Maybe that's what I should do.
Well, you do Amazon wishlist and I usually say, I would like this, you
know, like, and it's usually for something for the kitchen.
Right.
which then feels weird because it feels like anyway, I've gone out and
a limb this year and I hope I'm right, but I'm nervous.
So I don't want to talk about telling you.
I guess listeners, you're going to find out in the new year if he was right
or if he should have been nervous.
Yeah.
But I've gotten most of the kids done now.
So that's great.
Good.
Should we talk about main topic?
I think we should.
In order to do that, we need to introduce Mr.
David Campbell.
We do.
Okay, you're there. Good. Just checking. Episode 90, for those of you have not heard the Dalsa
Tons of David Campbell before. David, tell us what do you do for a living again?
I'm part of one of the larger Pentecostal Domination in the UK. I am one of the national leaders there
and I with special responsibility to look after the South East of England, including London,
which for me means oversight of 140 churches and 200 pastors. Good. So you really are a pastor
of the pastor and leader to leaders.
That's the way it goes.
Well, that's perfect because our topic tonight is all about authority.

Well, no, I'm not going to freestyle rap.
OK, I was just wondering if you could give us some Scottish lessons because you
have like a legit Scottish accent.
This is true.
This is true.
And Alan's has kind of diminished or wavered.
Well, it's important to understand that David and I didn't have the same accent to
begin with. And the same way that you would have like an American accent, like a New York
accent, a California accent and a Louisiana accent are all completely different. Yes.
David is from the West Coast of Scotland and I'm from the East Coast of Scotland. Right.
I have I have great faith he could give you a refresher. So I was wondering if he could
say a couple Scottish expressions and then you could say them and maybe that would like
boost up your accent. I think everybody would love it. I'll happily say them if you say
them too. Oh, okay, I'm ready. Well, I mean, the obvious one is that it's a
bra brush moon-like next to next. It's not bad, really, for a Canadian.
It's probably better than me. It's a bra brush next to next. A bra brush moon-like next.
It's a beautiful moon-like evening this evening. That's beautiful. That's what it means.
 That's a good one too. I never heard that before.
"Lying be your lumberick." Long be your chimney have smoke coming out of it. So
that's to do with prosperity. Okay, so say that.
Lying be your lumberick. Lying be your lumberick. Lying. Lying. L-A-N-G.
Lying. I didn't know I was going to have to give a fair
- All the questions, all the questions,
and then mind-wee's lessons.
- Lang-mee your lumb-ree.
- Mind-me your lumb-ree.
- Lang-mee your lumb-ree.
- It's the LOD.
(laughing)
Don't give up your day job.
(laughing)
- I'm sure people are still about to tune into this.

You didn't have to.
- I never said that one had lived in still.
- Laid and lime, that's what I got out of it.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Very good.
All right, I have a bunch of questions for you, David.
- Right.
Because one of the things that AG and I've noticed is I'm not claiming we're unique in
this because we certainly are not.
But we've noticed that whenever we talk about authority, whenever we teach about the benefits
of authority, for example, we've found in our life that having godly authority in our lives,
living under godly authority has been nothing but good.
Like we've seen incredible fruit from it.
But whenever we talk about the need for authority, the need to live under authority, the benefits
of living under God of leaders, submitting to your leaders, everything feels a little
bit prickly.
And I'm wondering if you have any observations on that?
I'm guessing that when you talk about the prickliness of authorities, because people
have seen abused really, and that's the biggest fear.
And Jesus said all authority belong to him.
So if it are all good authority, it's going to be a manifestation of Jesus, isn't it?
And so no one will have a problem with that.
It's when man uses position and power and what is...
Authority gives you the responsibility for looking after others and if that is misused,
then authority can become a very, very blunted weapon that you know, a lot of damage.
Do you think the prickliness then is from people who've either experienced ungodly authority or godly authority not handled well?
Been hurt.
Been hurt.
Yeah.
What do you think the remedy to that is?
I also think that we're not a reason.
There's been nobody likes to be told what to do even if they're right.

You tend to slow down even when you're not breaking the law.
That's true.
And so there's always something about authority that makes you think I'm doing something wrong.
our first reaction is denial rather than thank you officer for helping me keep the law.
So there's something about that we don't like to be told what we're doing. But I do think there's
a sense in which if those who we are in authority to or under, if we see them as godly people,
then we were being encouraged by the involvement in our life and actually we were wanted,
everyone to get it right.
So I guess it's making sure you're under the right authority.
I remember John, John on it, dear friend of yours and spiritual father to
to a genie who said everybody wants a king like Jesus.
Like everybody wants to serve Jesus.
Yes.
And but he also said if you haven't learned
to serve earthly authority, how will you submit to an eternal king?
And so there's a sense where we get to practice and it's not entirely fair because as we've alluded to
You know, not everybody leads like Jesus, not everybody wheels authority like Jesus.
Right. There's some very unhealed leaders out there.
Yeah. And I think AJ, part of our blessing is we've typically always had amazing leaders like
John and Carol for one, Jeff and Becky for another. David, what do you do if you have bad leaders?
I'm, yeah, well, let's start there. What do you do if you have bad leaders?
Well, I think we submit to leaders that they submit to Christ. Paul said, be imitated as
as amaze, I imitate Christ. So if it's someone's not
imitate Christ, then please do not imitate them. And so I'm not
saying that gives you a cause for rebellion, but it is a cause
of saying, actually, I want to be discipled in good authority,
not bad authority. Right. And so just because somebody may be in
a hierarchy above you, does not mean the right thing to say. And
I do think it's almost like you can skip a manager, you can
sort of sort of, well, what did your boss say? What did Jesus
say and if Jesus is saying something different to that person, then they've made a mistake.
And how you deal with that in a godly way shows you your character as much as it shows
the hiss and sometimes you have to say, but no, I'm not with respect and I can't do that
because that's contravenes a higher law and a higher authority.
And they can't be pushed into doing something because it's man's will.
People in authority have a responsibility.
I think authority is not but power over people.
Authority has been given permission to exercise power.
And so if you exercise that power in a bad way,
then you misused authority.
- Right.
- And they're all accountable for that.
So you can.
Just because you have the ability to do something
doesn't mean you should do it.
- Can I ask you a follow up question to that?
- Yep.
- Let's paint worst case scenario.
Let's say you go off the rails.
Let's say you ask one of your leaders to do something
and you're actually an error.
You don't know that yet.
And one of your leaders comes to you and says, "Hey, David, exactly what you've just said,
how would you want that to be walked out as a leader?"
So you're the leader.

I come to you, man, my conscience is not feeling good about what you've asked me to do.
How do I disagree with you honorably?
Well, in my life, I have an accountability group and everyone who's under my leadership
knows where they can go to.
And if I'm wrong and something, they would go to them.
You know, if just tell me, hopefully, if somebody came up and said, "David, I'm not
sure about this."

But if I'm not teachable, then you have to go to somebody else and say, you know, you're
part of the group.
Can you talk to them?
Can you listen to this?
And you put yourself in accountability before there's a problem.
You don't wait for their problem to say, "Okay, you can see these two friends of mine because
you're choosing people just back you up, right?"
And if your heart is always to get it right, you'll have people who will tell you it.
Yeah.
Because if I'm getting it wrong, I don't want to be proved right.
I just want to get it right.
And one of the problems with people who abuse an authority, they just want to be proved
right.
They don't want to be questioned.
And servants want to get it right.
Parents want to make people do what they say.
Wow.
And then it's hugely different.
We're servants of all, but leadership should serve people, not serve your own vision.
Right.
thing about authorities that allows you to serve with great reads. Yes.
 But surely also the Bible plays
in there some place, right? Because like I'm thinking, I've had a number of
different meetings where somebody is saying, well, Jesus told me, for example,
to not work for a year, but this person's married and has kids. I'm like, no,
didn't. The Bible says, if you don't work, then don't eat. Like, actually, I don't think God told
you to do that. But this person is convinced that God did tell them to do that. Like, what do you do
in those kinds of situations? It's totally into the subjective there.  So that's almost impossible to disagree with.
 So you won't. But I also
the Bible if a man won't work he won't eat. And so there's this principle. So when God
speaks to you, he may speak to you for a season to do something, but it won't contradict his
word. And I think sometimes I think God gets blamed for a lot and the devil gets, you know
the story of the, they say that Satan stand outside of church one day crying and somebody
says what's wrong with you? And he says, they blame me for everything in there. And I think
Sometimes, you know, God gets a blame for things, the devil gets a blame for things.

Right. Yeah.
So let me ask you that in a different way. So I'm changing some of the variables.
You've got a leader, you were wanting to walk in one area. So for example, I remember being raised
in this great, I mean, a great evangelical church that they did not practice the gifts of the spirit.
it was that they would they would kind of not an agreement theologically
but we saw no evidence of it and in my private life and read all these books
and listen i'm actually going to conferences where you're speaking
and i'm listening to all the stuff and i'm going to grow in it
and let's say i'm in that situation and my leaders
are perhaps leading me in an area i don't necessarily want to walk in
can you give me some wisdom for that i think when you get out of practical
illustrations there's no one size fits all but there's something to do with the heart
and if people are of good heart and they're trying to do the right thing, you honor that,
you bless them and that. And it's, because when the problem to get in those situations is there's
no bad people involved. See if you've got somebody who's leaders, a bad person, then leave. But usually
it's a good person who's trying to do what he's seen within their limited vision and understanding
and own personal experience. So you have to honor them up where they are on their journey
without feeling superior to them because you've got an experience that they have got.
And so part of it is to respect them for who they are and what they give to you.
But also to realize they haven't seen what you've got at the moment and respectfully say,
"I've also received this from straight from heaven really," in that sense.
I'm not superior to you, but I've been very fortunate.
And so you have to respect where they are and where they can lead you where they've been,
but they can't lead you where they've not been themselves.
And sometimes our frustration is that people don't need us where they've never been themselves.
And we have to be careful with that.
That's so good.
That's so good.
So the next question then is, as a leader to leaders,
what's the one thing that you wish everyone knew about authority?
I guess that it doesn't belong to you.
It's been put in your safe keeping from Jesus.
And so I don't have authority.
He gives me his authority, Matthew 28.
Jesus said, "All authority is given to me."
Well, that means old, sort of means old, doesn't it?
So therefore any authority I have must have come from him.
Because the next thing he says, going to the world and make disciples.
So the whole structure came from that old.
So any authority I have, I realize, is not my divine right to authority.
It is my human responsibility to carry it well in a godly way.
And so I cannot abuse it because it's not mine.
It's his to bring about his will.
Right.
So that's what I like to say.
It doesn't belong to you.
You're a steward of it.
Right.
So good.
On the heels of that, then, how does one grow an authority?
I think it's the more you carry the presence and the more you sit in this
presence, the more you will actually think and talk like Jesus.
And so far, when you think and talk like Jesus, you move an authority
because that's you're doing his will.
And authority is the right to exercise power.
And so if you're walking in the right way, you have the right to exercise his power.
So I think the way to increase an authority is to walk into presence more and more
in the faithful way every day.
That's how to increase authority.
Is there like in your years of leading leaders, is there a common mistake?
You see new leaders make in exercising authority?
Is there is there like a I've seen this before?
Is there any of those that stand out to you?
- Lots of them really, be honest with you.
One of the biggest one is that just everybody's thinks
they're right.
Of course you think you're right.
(laughing)
- Don't we all?
- You wouldn't be doing it unless you thought you were right.
But it's almost like maybe entering to the understanding
that a lot of situations are more complex than you think.
If only there was a black and white answer
to every question, but sometimes there's not,
But some problems do not have an answer.
Some problems are tensions that have to be managed.
There's not a problem that has to be solved.
And so authority doesn't mean that you're black and white
about everything.
It means that you actually have discernment and wisdom
to know the right thing to do in any given situation.
And so there's lots of times when people come to me
with situations and there's two or three right answers
and you have to say, well, actually,
we may have to hold this intention
and play one against the other really,
rather than have a, there's only one answer.
And other times you have to say there's three answers,
two of you are going to have to have grace
because we should only do one of them.
But does it mean that one's more right than you two,
but this is the, that's better for the rest
of the body of Christ.
Like for example, you get people who believe
totally opposing things,
say the woman in ministry question,
which is some places it is non-issue,
but other places it's a huge issue.
And I got a pastor who, he would believe that women should not carry government really.
He might let them speak and pray, but he would go right back to a creation ordinance.
It's not New Testament from it's bigger than that.
And it's really strong on that.
And I know that other people just believe that women should be apostles and they should
be running the nomination and they go all the way up to the top.
And those two, and two things come out of that.
Well, one is firstly, is that I'm quite certain that I can put an argument as to why women
should be in government, totally from the Bible to my satisfaction, totally, and no one can
just dissuade me of it.
Yeah.
And also whether he can come up with an argument from Scripture that he's right and that
headship is male and it's totally persuade him.
I cannot prove it enough from scripture, for my point of view, to get him to change his
mind.
And trust me, he shall not get enough from scripture to get me to change my mind.
So therefore, we have to hold that intention because I think they might both be right.
And they might, so I don't have the answer.
I cannot persuade somebody.
And so I have a church which is close by and we have an Antioch principle where we have
bigger churches looking down for smaller churches.
And this pastor who holds that sort of headship concept is the closest church to this little
fellowship where the leader is a lady elder.
And I asked him, would you please give covering to this church?
And he said, yes, I said, you need to know the leader is a lady elder.
No, I just think that he is such a blessing to me.
He said, that's fine.
fine because he can live with the tension of actually you believe something different to me
but we will manage that tension in a creative way which blesses them and I think I have a
huge respect for people of that. Yeah, that's a huge respect. Okay, so here's another question
for you. Can you think of a time in your life when being a leader looked like a step backwards,
like in the natural it might have looked like a step backwards? And then what was the fruit
of that obedience anyway.
Really? I don't just make something. What do we have for dinner? Do you remember?
I think there's lots of times when I sort of,
so I'm not one of these plans on life on the back of an envelope and say this is what's going
to happen next. I'm wanting this to happen next. But I think that I've always had a desire
But there's been times among my foot when I loved being a pastor of a church.
And I came to a point where I was asked by our national leader to give that up and become
full-time one of the national leaders.
And I never really wanted to do that.
If I was left myself, I would be pastor in a local church.
I think it's the highest calling in the world, really.
It's the leader of a local church.
when he said to me, he said, "David, that's really where your gift would be best used
for the maximum number of people."
So I did.
I handed my church over to somebody else and I'm an out full-time.
That's probably been the most fruitful thing I've ever done.
I still wish it was part of a church in some ways.
Sometimes you do not realize you're on gift and you need somebody outside to see your
potential.
Yeah.
like a day of Pentecost, how did you know you'd a flame above your head?
 So sometimes people authority see things in you that you don't see in
yourself, right? And you have to listen to them. And you have to trust them at that
point. That's why it's important who you submit your life to. I you cannot, you're
literally putting your life into somebody's hands
to make a big decision.
So that would be one of the big ones for me.
- Yeah, I think that's certainly been our experience as well
as in it that the leaders that God puts in your life,
they often see things in seed form
that you don't even see in yourself.
And it might even be really hard to believe.
Like I wouldn't be in ministry
if it wasn't for somebody else saying,
hey, I see this in you.
And really every part of me was like, no.
- Tell the story about how you end up in ministry
with John answering invitations on your behalf.
- Oh yeah, well I mean, yeah that was super funny.
So I'm a youth leader and I'm working
as a server in a restaurant.
- So when you say you're a youth leader, define that.
- I mean, I lead a small group at church.
I was a youth leader for eight years.
- Right, but you're not the youth pastor.
There's youth pastors.

- I'm a volunteer, show up on Fridays
and help lead things and whatever.
And at this point I had spoken twice to the youth
And I mean, the youth were about 150 people.
So I mean, it was a fair size youth group.
And if you ask me, youth are still the most intimidating group
to speak to, but I had spoken twice,
and vomited both times and shook horribly, like, and cried.
And I was like, I, you know, this is awful.
And then I was talking to John just on a Sunday morning.
And he said, so, you know, here's the thing.
a church called, they need a person to come
and do this youth conference in Michigan.
And so I said, you would come and here's the dates.
And I was like, you did what?
And he's like, oh, I think you're made for this.
And I was like, John, I vomited both times I spoke.
I'm not good at it.
And he was like, no, I see this in you.
He just said, would you go?
Would you just trust me and go and if you hate it, then that's fine.
But give it a try once, you know, and I, it was really funny because I had to teach
four sessions and I, I only had two really bad sermons.
That's what I had ready.
So I got, I got ready to go thinking, well, all I have to do is do this one weekend.
And then I can come back and tell Johnny's wrong, you know, that this isn't what I
meant to do, but the very first night I got up and spoke.
And I literally, like I think about that chariot,
it's a fire quote, like I felt the pleasure of God.
And I thought, oh, he's right and I'm wrong.
You know, and that changed everything for me.
But it didn't get easier immediately.
It still was, you know, vomit festival every time I spoke
for a while, because I get so nervous.
- That's quite the imagery there.
- Yeah, thank you.
- I think that's the beauty of the leaders
that I was talking about at the beginning,
the whole thing that they see in seed form
and the amazing amount of trust.
The writer of Hebrew says, let them do this.
Submit to your leaders, let them do this.
And so there's an element where we let our leaders lead us.
They don't lord it over us, but there's
this beautiful element where we submit to our leaders,
patho allow ourselves to be persuaded by.
And I think of the good and the bad that the leaders have seen
in me in seed form.
And whenever they bring it to you, it's not yet fully born
so they can't prove they're right.
But so they might be like, hey, are you aware there's this issue?
It takes a huge amount of trust and confidence
that this loving leader is pointing out
something that you don't yet see.
And we're always the fastest to defend.
To defend.
But if we trust them and they're godly,
they're speaking to our life for our good,
whether it's a good thing or whether it's a negative thing
that they're seeing.
You see, people with authority couldn't open doors, have the ability to open doors.
I find it interesting that when you're talking to each year about, you know, John said,
go and do this.
And it's actually boldness.
You need it.
I find it interesting that as you look in the New Testament, the church there, they didn't
pray for their nighting, they didn't pray for gifting, they prayed for boldness.
Yeah.
And the majority of us, it's boldness to be like.
a few people who are so self-confident as there's 30s on arrogance and 10s in badly.
But the majority of us have a crisis of confidence on a fairly regular basis.
And there's boldness that we need to do what is right. And I think that sometimes
apostolic authority people see that and they open the door for you. And then they push you through it.
Well, yeah, exactly. I think I kind of borrowed his boldness really. I was just like,
All right. You know, yeah, well, John thinks I can do this. It's his reputation up for grabs,
don't mind. Yeah. Yeah. He signed me up for this.
Turns out he was right. Who knew? He did a good job there. He did a good job there.
There was a question. Is there anything you want us to ask you about
authoritarian? Do you want to clarify anything you'd like to say in closing?
I think just that authority properly administers one of the best things in the world, because it
it brings the presence and the will of Jesus
to the reality in our lives.
That should be the goal of it.
The goal isn't just to make people do what you want.
It's to bring the presence and the will of God
to reality in individual's lives.
That's what God authority brings.
It's the rule of the king being manifested.
And if it doesn't leave a greater imprint of the presence
and the personality of Jesus,
then something went wrong somewhere
in the exercise of authority.
- That's beautiful.
Thank you, David, for being with us.
We're so excited every time you come.
David speaks every year so far, no pressure, but David has spoken every year as part of
our...
No pressure, but come back every year.
Yes, well you have done for the last five years of spoken every year on year two of
our school of supernatural life, which is focused on leadership.
And so we love having this, this apostolic leader of leaders in with us for two days
where our students get to ask you questions like this and throw out things.
And I love that you're...
I love that you...
What do you describe yourself?
I don't want to put words in your mouth.
I think you describe yourself as an accidental profit or a lazy profit at some point, but you'll you'll fall into prophetic
Ministry of a governmental nature. It's a beautiful thing to see. Well, thank you David for that
We just wanted to let you know that we have books back in stock. So finding father
I know that we mentioned that last week, but you know why it didn't do you didn't open it up to be able to purchase any
physically in stock, but I didn't go into our website and restock electronically.
So if anybody went to try and buy a tilted sold out. So sorry, if you tried it by a book
last week, we were in our pajamas and we just forgot.
Absolutely are in stock and you can order them. Yes. So yeah, so sorry, that was my fault.
Well, we forgive you this time, darling. Thank you. It's pajamas. Thank you so much for
our patrons who help make every episode a reality. This week, we especially want to thank Mateo
for giving towards this episode.
And if you'd like to become a patron and support the show from as little as a dollar
an episode, head over to Ellen and aj.com/support.
But for now, our sincere thanks to David Campbell and to all our wonderful listeners
for tuning in today.
We pray you're going to have an amazing week.
We will see you next week for the last show of 2018.
We hope you have a glorious week.

The 1950's is an era that has always fascinated me, and so any film that focuses on such a long forgotten time and place of innocence and sensibility is one I look forward to. Earlier this year, there was "October Sky," a film centered on an ambitious boy's dreams of rockets in a West Virginia mining town. "The Iron Giant" is the latest film set in the 1950's when the Cold War had just started, and a farm boy befriended a giant metal robot unaware of its potential harm.
The film begins with an innocent, likable kid named Hogarth Hughes who desperately wants a pet, but his single mother (Jennifer Aniston) will not allow it. One day, the antenna at the house fails to work, and Hogarth notices that something gnawed and bit its way to his house. He searches in the middle of the woods near the power station and finds a giant metal robot wrestling with the electrical power lines. The boy is mystified and in awe of this giant creature - he slowly observes how calm it is and befriends it. Of course, how can he explain to his mom that his new pet is over twenty stories high? He tries to hide it in the barn, but it manages to make the other parts of its body function on their own. In one hectic scene, Hogarth pants and squirms trying to push the robot's hand out the bathroom window while his mother knocks on the door.
"The Iron Giant" has a little bit of everything. There are mad generals, insanely clumsy government agents, lazy beatniks, Mad magazines, disbelieving townsfolk, Atomic Age training films, junkyards, etc. Just about anything associated with the 1950's is presented here with no shame (those training films are hilarious), as well as various rock songs from that period.
"The Iron Giant" also has charm and pathos to spread, and it does it convincingly with the simple metal giant who is also a weapon sent from the enemy (possibly the Russians?). It is friendly, jovial, learns how to speak and eats anything metal, but it can also fire missiles when threatened to defend itself. The advertising for "The Iron Giant" and the look of the robot strangely reminded me of the short Nazi animated film shown in "The Rocketeer" - a combination of shock and terror at the possibility of something threatening our world during a time of political chaos.
"The Iron Giant" is often preachy, reverential, and its anti-gun message could not come at a better time (but it could be relatively more subtle than proclaiming that guns are bad). There are the typical stereotypes and cliches but in a sense, none of it matters. For an animated film that is as well-designed and clever as this one, this is entertaining, boisterous, simple fun thriving on simple pleasures. "The Iron Giant" taps into our dreams of finding a genuine friend in the form of something extraordinary, and it delivers.

The creation of a fragrance is one of the classic examples of the blending of science and art. The development of a fragrance is controlled by both the chemistry of the materials involved and the discriminating nose of the perfumer.
To create the correct fragrance for a cosmetic or household product, a number of disciplines must come together. In many cases, fragrance application laboratories can help to combine these disciplines in a creative fragrance
company.
Whether you are looking for the next fine fragrance, a means of perfuming other products, innovative compounds that actively control malodours or something completely new, we have the technology and expertise to meet
your needs.
All fragrances we have are developed and manufactured for any product application, ranging from highly technical & functional to pure indulgent and sophisticated specifications.

The goal of an SDM is to find out where and/or when a species occur.
Often maps are the only output of SDMs but they should not be!
Information on how the map was built
Statistics describing the quality of the model used to build the map
Details about how the map shown was obtained
(Un)certainties about the constructed map
Knowing where a species is not found is extremely informative.
Historically, a tremendous amount of work that has been done using presence-absence data.
As such, a huge number of approaches exist to model species presence-absence.
The main goal of these models is to define the probability of occurrence of a species at a particular location.
They rely on a set of explanatory variables measured in the study region. These could represent
These three types of models are the ones used by Franklin (1998)
These approach are all theoretically sound but they are not well adapted to deal with large expenses of data.
When dealing with presence-absence data, binomial regression models are often used
These different variant of models differ by the link function used.
We will focus on the logistic regression.
The logistic regression is likely the most commonly used approach to model presence-absence data. In its simplest form, it can be presented as follow
\[\text{logit}(P(y = 1)) = \mathbf{x}^T\beta\] \(P(y=1)\) - The probability that species \(y\) is present (1) or not
\(\mathbf{x}\) - Matrix of explanatory variables
\(\beta\) - Parameters associated to the explanatory variables
\(T\) - Transpose of a matrix
In a logistic regression, the logit link is the key to fit presence-absence data
\[\text{logit}(p) = \log\left(\frac{p}{1 - p}\right)\]
The coefficient of determination (\(R^2\)) is not designed to be used for logistic regression, but it is a good starting point.
It is calculated as follow
\[R^2 = 1 - \frac{\sum^n_{i=1}(y_i-\hat{y}_i)}{\sum^n_{i=1}(y_i-\overline{y})}\]
\(n\) - Number of samples
\(y_i\) - Response variable value for sample \(i\)
\(\hat{y}_i\) - Model prediction for sample \(i\)
\(\overline{y}\) - Average of the response variable \(y\)
Conceptually, there are three ways to understand an \(R^2\):
Because there are no \(R^2\), statisticians have developped pseudo-\(R^2\) that have features similar to the \(R^2\) but that may differ in the interpretation we make of them.
As a similarity, the different variant of pseudo-\(R^2\) generally range between 0 and 1 (although it is not always the case); higher meanning a better fit.
A number of pseudo-\(R^2\) have been proposed. Here are a few,
\[R^2 = 1 - \frac{\sum^n_{i=1}(y_i-\hat{\pi}_i)}{\sum^n_{i=1}(y_i-\overline{y})}\]
\(\hat{\pi}_i\) - Model predicted probability for sample \(i\)
It can be interpreted as:
\[R^2 = 1 - \frac{\ln \hat{L}(M_\text{Full})}{\ln \hat{L}(M_\text{Intercept})}\]
\(\hat{L}\) - Model estimated liklihood
\(M_\text{Full}\) - Model that includes all explanatory variables
\(M_\text{Intercept}\) - Model that includes none of the explanatory variables
It can be interpreted as:
\[R^2 = \overline{\hat{\pi}}_1 - \overline{\hat{\pi}}_0\]
\(\overline{\hat{\pi}}_1\) - Average of the model prediction for all the presences
\(\overline{\hat{\pi}}_0\) - Average of the model prediction for all the absences
It can be interpreted as:
tjurR2 <- function(y, pred){
pseudoR2 <- mean(pred[y == 1]) - mean(pred[y == 0])
return(pseudoR2)
}
All the previously mentionned pseudo-\(R^2\) can be computed in R using the pseudoR2
function from the package DescTools
.
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a diagnostic plot that help defines the quality of a model
It is calculated using the following table
Steps to calculate a ROC curve:
set.seed(12)
# Model
beta <- c(0.3, -3, 1)
x <- cbind(1, scale(1:200), scale(1:200)^2)
model <- binomial()$linkinv(x%*%beta)
# Response variable
y<-rbinom(200, 1, model)
# Result object
TPR <- numeric()
FPR <- numeric()
# Sequence
sequ <- seq(0,1, length = 200)
# Calculate TPR and FPR
for(i in 1:length(sequ)){
pos <- ifelse(model > sequ[i],1,0)
TPR[i] <- sum(pos == 1 & y == 1)/sum(y == 1)
FPR[i] <- sum(pos == 1 & y == 0)/sum(y == 0)
}
# Plot
plot(FPR, TPR, type = "n", xlab = "False positive rate", ylab = "True positive rate", las = 1)
lines(FPR, TPR)
There are a few packages in R that implemented the ROC curve
pROC
ROCR
These two are probably the most known ones.
An interesting aspect of ROC curves is that they can be used broadly, they are not constrained to the logistic model.
Additive model were first proposed by
In the paper
published in 1981 in the Journal of the American Statistical Association
As for generalized additive models, it was developped by
In the book published in 1990
Additive models are a form of linear models.
A logistic additive model with a single explanatory variable can be defined as:
\[\text{logit}(P(y_i = 1)) = f(x_i)\] where \[f(x) = \sum_{j = 1}^k b_j(x)\beta_j\]
\(b_j(x)\) - \(j^\text{th}\) basis function of the explanatory variable \(x\)
\(\beta_j(x)\) - \(j^\text{th}\) parameters associated to the basis function of the explanatory variable \(x\)
This is some pretty dense theory...
This is some pretty dense theory...
Let's clarify what \(f(x)\) is about.
The \(f(x)\) function is a general way to representation many different formulations of an additive model.
An example of \(f(x)\) is a polynomial regression of degree 5, that is
\[\text{logit}(P(y_i = 1)) = f(x_i)\] where \[f(x) = \sum_{j = 0}^5 b_j(x)\beta_j\] and \[b_j(x) = x^j\] which can be rewritten as
\[\text{logit}(P(y_i = 1)) = \beta_0 + x\beta_1 + x^2\beta_2 + x^3\beta_3 + x^4\beta_4 + x^5\beta_5\]
Visually this can be represented as
As mentionned before, the polynomial base function is one a many base function used in generalized additive models, sadly it is actually not very good.
Ones more commonly used is the cubic regression splines

We need to account for the number of parameter estimated to make a good comparison
\[R^2_a = 1- \frac{n-1}{n - p - 1} (1 - R^2)\] \(R^2\) - (pseudo-)coefficient of determination
\(n\) - Number of samples
\(p\) - Number of estimated parameters (not counting the intercept)
Adjusting a pseudo-\(R^2\) make sense only for a pseudo-\(R^2\) that quantify a measure of variance explained.
By adjusted Tjur's pseudo-\(R^2\) we obtain

Generalized additive models are very appealing because they are designed to account for non-linearity.
However, their great flexibility makes them challenging to use properly.
Classification and regression trees have first been proposed by
In a book published in 1984
While linear and additive models pass lines through the data to fit it, classification and regression tree's main goal is to split the data into similar groups. Specifically, the goal of tree modelling is to maximize the homogeneity within the groups
A tree modelling approach where the response data to split into groups is a class variable
A tree modelling approach where the response data to split into groups is a continuous variable
To show visually how it works, let's focus on the distribution of the American black duck (Anas rubripes)
and let's model its distribution using the pixel's coordinates
Within the framework of the rpart
R package, this amount to deciding the type of response variable we are dealing with.
The sums of squares is used as a measure of homogeneity
\[\sum_{k=1}^\text{group}\sum_{i=1}^{n_k}\left(y_i-\overline{y}_k\right)^2\]
\(n_k\) - Number of samples in group \(k\)
The altered prior loss information criterion is used as a measure of homogeneity
\[\frac{\pi_iL_i}{\sum_j\pi_jL_j}\] \(\pi_i\) - Prior probability of class \(i\) to be in a specific class
\(L(i,j)\) - Loss matrix defining how much information is lost by incorrectly classifying class \(i\) as class \(j\).
In our example we will assume that the presence-absence of the American black duck is a class variable
Recall that this split is done to minimize the amount of information loss

A set of attributes that describe the execution environment are attached to the communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD when MPI is initialized. The value of these attributes can be inquired by using the function MPI_ATTR_GET described in Chapter Groups, Contexts, and Communicators . It is erroneous to delete these attributes, free their keys, or change their values.
The list of predefined attribute keys include
These predefined attributes do not change value between MPI initialization ( MPI_INIT and MPI completion ( MPI_FINALIZE), and cannot be updated or deleted by users.
[] Advice to users.
Note that in the C binding, the value returned by these attributes is a
pointer to an int containing the requested value.
( End of advice to users.)
The required parameter values are discussed in more detail below:
Tag values range from 0 to the value returned for MPI_TAG_UB inclusive. These values are guaranteed to be unchanging during the execution of an MPI program. In addition, the tag upper bound value must be at least 32767. An MPI implementation is free to make the value of MPI_TAG_UB larger than this; for example, the value is also a legal value for MPI_TAG_UB.
The attribute MPI_TAG_UB has the same value on all processes of MPI_COMM_WORLD.
The value returned for MPI_HOST gets the rank of the HOST process in the group associated with communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD, if there is such. MPI_PROC_NULL is returned if there is no host. MPI does not specify what it means for a process to be a HOST, nor does it requires that a HOST exists.
The attribute MPI_HOST has the same value on all processes of MPI_COMM_WORLD.
The value returned for MPI_IO is the rank of a processor that can provide language-standard I/O facilities. For Fortran, this means that all of the Fortran I/O operations are supported (e.g., OPEN, REWIND, WRITE). For C, this means that all of the ANSI-C I/O operations are supported (e.g., fopen, fprintf, lseek).
If every process can provide language-standard I/O, then the value MPI_ANY_SOURCE will be returned. Otherwise, if the calling process can provide language-standard I/O, then its rank will be returned. Otherwise, if some process can provide language-standard I/O then the rank of one such process will be returned. The same value need not be returned by all processes. If no process can provide language-standard I/O, then the value MPI_PROC_NULL will bereturned.
[] Advice to users.
Note that input is not collective, and this attribute does not indicate
which process can or does provide input.
( End of advice to users.)
The value returned for MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL is 1 if clocks
at all processes in
MPI_COMM_WORLD are synchronized, 0
otherwise. A collection of clocks is considered synchronized if
explicit effort has been taken to synchronize them. The
expectation is that the variation in time, as measured by calls
to MPI_WTIME, will be less then one half the round-trip
time for an MPI message of length zero. If time is measured at a
process just before a send and at another process just after a matching
receive, the second time should be always higher than the first one.
The attribute MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL need not be present when the clocks are not synchronized (however, the attribute key MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL is always valid). This attribute may be associated with communicators other then MPI_COMM_WORLD.
The attribute MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL has the same value on all processes of MPI_COMM_WORLD.
MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME( name, resultlen )
[ OUT name] A unique specifier for the actual (as
opposed to virtual) node.
[ OUT resultlen] Length (in printable characters) of the
result returned in name
int MPI_Get_processor_name(char *name, int *resultlen)
MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME( NAME, RESULTLEN, IERROR)
CHARACTER*(*) NAME
INTEGER RESULTLEN,IERROR
This routine returns the name of the processor on which it was called at the moment of the call. The name is a character string for maximum flexibility. From this value it must be possible to identify a specific piece of hardware; possible values include ``processor 9 in rack 4 of mpp.cs.org'' and ``231'' (where 231 is the actual processor number in the running homogeneous system). The argument name must represent storage that is at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME characters long. MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME may write up to this many characters into name.
The number of characters actually written is returned in the output argument, resultlen.
[] Rationale.
This function allows MPI implementations that do process
migration to return the current processor. Note that nothing in MPI
requires or defines process migration; this definition of
MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME simply allows such an implementation.
( End of rationale.)
[] Advice to users.
The user must provide at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME space
to write the processor name --- processor names can be this long. The user
should examine the ouput argument, resultlen, to determine
the actual length of the name.
( End of advice to users.)
The constant MPI_BSEND_OVERHEAD provides an upper bound on
the fixed overhead per message buffered by a call to
MPI_BSEND (see Section Model implementation of buffered mode
).

3D Attitude Estimation - Benchmark¶
Goals of this script:
implement two different UKFs on the 3D attitude estimation example.
design the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF).
compare the different algorithms with Monte-Carlo simulations.
We assume the reader is already familiar with the considered problem described in the related example.
For the given problem, two different UKFs emerge, defined respectively as:
1- The state is embedded in \(SO(3)\) with left multiplication, i.e.
the retraction \(\varphi(.,.)\) is the \(SO(3)\) exponential where uncertainty is multiplied on the left by the state.
the inverse retraction \(\varphi^{-1}(.,.)\) is the \(SO(3)\) logarithm.
2- The state is embedded in \(SO(3)\) with right multiplication, i.e.
the retraction \(\varphi(.,.)\) is the \(SO(3)\) exponential where uncertainty is multiplied on the right by the state.
the inverse retraction \(\varphi^{-1}(.,.)\) is the \(SO(3)\) logarithm.
We tests the different algorithms with the same noise parameter setting and on simulation with moderate initial heading error.
Import¶
from scipy.linalg import block_diag
from ukfm import SO3, UKF, EKF
from ukfm import ATTITUDE as MODEL
import ukfm
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
ukfm.set_matplotlib_config()
Simulation Setting¶
We compare the filters on a large number of Monte-Carlo runs.
# Monte-Carlo runs
N_mc = 100
This script uses the ATTITUDE()
model. The initial values of the
heading error has 10° standard deviation.
# sequence time (s)
T = 100
# IMU frequency (Hz)
imu_freq = 100
# IMU noise standard deviation (noise is isotropic)
imu_std = np.array([5/180*np.pi, # gyro (rad/s)
0.4, # accelerometer (m/s**2)
0.3]) # magnetometer
# create the model
model = MODEL(T, imu_freq)
# propagation noise covariance matrix
Q = imu_std[0]**2*np.eye(3)
# measurement noise covariance matrix
R = block_diag(imu_std[1]**2*np.eye(3), imu_std[2]**2*np.eye(3))
# initial uncertainty matrix
P0 = (10/180*np.pi)**2*np.eye(3) # The state is perfectly initialized
# sigma point parameters
alpha = np.array([1e-3, 1e-3, 1e-3])
Filter Design¶
Additionally to the UKFs, we compare them to an EKF. The EKF has the same uncertainty representation as the UKF with right uncertainty representation.
We set variables for recording metrics before launching Monte-Carlo simulations.
left_ukf_err = np.zeros((N_mc, model.N, 3))
right_ukf_err = np.zeros_like(left_ukf_err)
ekf_err = np.zeros_like(left_ukf_err)
left_ukf_nees = np.zeros((N_mc, model.N))
right_ukf_nees = np.zeros_like(left_ukf_nees)
ekf_nees = np.zeros_like(left_ukf_nees)
Monte-Carlo Runs¶
We run the Monte-Carlo through a for loop.
for n_mc in range(N_mc):
print("Monte-Carlo iteration(s): " + str(n_mc+1) + "/" + str(N_mc))
# simulate true states and noisy inputs
states, omegas = model.simu_f(imu_std)
# simulate accelerometer and magnetometer measurements
ys = model.simu_h(states, imu_std)
# initial state with error
state0 = model.STATE(Rot=states[0].Rot.dot(
SO3.exp(10/180*np.pi*np.random.randn(3))))
# covariance need to be "turned"
left_ukf_P = state0.Rot.dot(P0).dot(state0.Rot.T)
right_ukf_P = P0

Results¶
We visualize the results averaged over Monte-Carlo sequences, and compute the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) averaged over all Monte-Carlo.
model.benchmark_print(left_ukf_err, right_ukf_err, ekf_err)
Out:
Root Mean Square Error w.r.t. orientation (deg)
-left UKF : 1.06
-right UKF : 1.05
-EKF : 1.05
All the curves have the same shape. Filters obtain the same performances.
We finally compare the filters in term of consistency (Normalized Estimation Error Squared, NEES), as in the localization benchmark.
model.nees_print(left_ukf_nees, right_ukf_nees, ekf_nees)
Out:
Normalized Estimation Error Squared (NEES) w.r.t. orientation
-left UKF : 1.00
-right UKF : 0.99
-EKF : 0.99
All the filters obtain the same NEES and are consistent.
Which filter is the best ? For the considered problem, left UKF, right UKF, and EKF obtain the same performances. This is expected as when the state consists of an orientation only, left and right UKFs are implicitely the same. The EKF obtains similar results as it is also based on a retraction build on \(SO(3)\) (not with Euler angles).
Conclusion¶
This script compares two UKFs and one EKF for the problem of attitude estimation. All the filters obtain similar performances as the state involves only the orientation of the platform.
You can now:
compare the filters in different noise setting to see if the filters still get the same performances.
address the problem of 3D inertial navigation, where the state is defined as the oriention of the vehicle along with its velocity and its position.
Total running time of the script: ( 68 minutes 44.683 seconds)

About Me:
I have been into tech my whole life. I'm old enough and proud to say that my first computer, (if we’re not counting the Atari 2600) was an Apple IIe. After learning some basic programming and playing a few games I was off to college to get a degree in electronics. After 15+ years of working on machines – I’m now I’m busy programming them!
My Resume:


Bugatti Chiron Gets Toyota Camry Face Swap, Design Still Works
by Andrei TutuIf this is the first time you've come across a rendering like the one staring at us from behind the screen, there's no reason to panic - this pixel play, which portrays a Bugatti Chiron that has been given a Toyota face transplant, is only normal.
No, really, social media is loaded with such visual stunts these days. Heck, this isn't even the first Toyota-faced Chiron we've discussed.
The all-popular Camry was selected for this climb up the ladder. And, whether you find such shenanigans amusing or would rather unsee them, there's one thing we all have to admit - the result works surprisingly well.
And if I had to name the elements that feel like the least fitting for the melange we have here, they are the light clusters. It's not their shape, but rather their low-key appearance that makes the headlights unworthy of the Molsheim hypercar's front end.
Since the Instagram post showcasing the visual stunt, which can be found at the bottom of the page, also includes the actual Camry and Chiron, the transition can be easily noticed.
Of course, this also comes to confirm the evolution of the Toyota styling language. In its quest to become the world's number one automotive producer by volume, the Japanese company has followed the current trends, which have seen the design of the average family car become more and more aggressive.
As far as the French carmaker is concerned, we should see where the Bugatti styling language goes in the next few years. For now, the company's entire lineup is comprised of the Chiron and its derivatives, such as the Chiron Sport, the Divo, the Centodieci and, of course, the La Voiture Noire (the beasts are listed in the order of their production run/pricing).
However, rumors about Bugatti adding a second model are going strong and here's a rendering showing this in the expected SUV form.

Snow falls across parts of South West as flood-hit areas prepare for more rain
The South West and parts of Wales were pictured blanketed in snow on Wednesday evening.
Snow has fallen across parts of England and Wales as Yorkshire prepares for further rain after days of flooding.
Dartmoor was pictured blanketed in snow on Wednesday evening after temperatures plummeted across parts of Devon and South Wales.
Police in Ystradgynlais warned people to only travel if necessary after several vehicles got stuck in the showers.
The snow is expected to continue falling throughout the night, mixed with sleet and rain, but could settle on high ground, according to forecasters.
Meanwhile, the Met Office has issued a warning suggesting there could be a danger to life in parts of the East Midlands and Yorkshire as more rain is forecast to fall on the already flooded region.
A yellow weather warning for rain is in place for areas around Nottingham, Sheffield, and Doncaster from 9am on Thursday, as the snow falling across the South West moves north and turns to rain.
Met Office meteorologist Luke Miall said “the worst of the winter weather has now moved through” the South West, but “it’s the same one that’s going to push its way north and will affect the flooded areas from last week”.
The heaviest of the rain is expected to hit the area between 9am and 10am and continue throughout the day.
Forecasters are predicting between 35mm and 45mm of rainfall, and 33 flood warnings are in place across the region after the Met Office warned there could be a risk to life “because these areas are very waterlogged already”.
Mr Miall added: “Even some amount of rain could cause rivers to rise.”
Mr Miall said the weather is looking “slightly better, but not dry” as we head towards the weekend, describing the forecast as a “mixed bag” with showers still falling across the country.
On Wednesday, the Prime Minister faced heavy criticism over his response to the flooding during a visit to the worst-hit areas.
During Boris Johnson’s trip to Stainforth, South Yorkshire, one frustrated woman, who was pushing around a wheelbarrow, refused to speak to him.
She said: “I’m not very happy about talking to you so, if you don’t mind, I’ll just mope on with what I’m doing.
“You’ve not helped us up to press. I don’t know what you’re here today for.”
Another told him: “You’ve took your time Boris, haven’t you?”
On Tuesday, he announced that relief funding would be made available for those affected by the floods and said that funding for local councils to help affected households would be made available to the tune of £500 per eligible household.

Sadly, the Trulli Formula-E Team is no more.
But their legacy still lives on through this page. After only competing in the first season of Formula-E in 2014–15, the Swiss team founded by former F1 driver Jarno Trulli folded in late 2015.
But their legacy still lives on through this page. After only competing in the first season of Formula-E in 2014–15, the Swiss team founded by former F1 driver Jarno Trulli folded in late 2015.
With Jarno Trulli's Formula One career bringing a wealth of experience, and the team taking over some of the innovations from Drayson Racing (such as wireless charging), Trulli hoped to be a key team in the development of the championship.
Jarno Trulli and Michela Cerruti competed for Trulli in the first four races of the 2014-15 season, before Cerruti was replaced by Vitantonio Liuzzi. Swiss driver Alex Fontana filled in for Liuzzi in the London finale. The 2015-16 season would have seen Salvador Duran partner with Liuzzi, but the team ultimately collapsed.
The inaugural 2014-15 season of Formula-E saw 10 teams compete using the same Spark-Renault SRT_01E across 11 races in 9 countries. The highlight of the season would be Jarno Trulli's fourth place finish in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
"Competing at the highest level of performance with a clean energy car with the support of Drayson Technologies makes this challenge even more exciting. I am very pleased to be a pioneer of this new Formula E project." —Jarno Trulli, 2014
These are the specifications for the Spark-Renault SRT 01E, as stated by the FIA:


Buddha - The guide
This article is a work by Aliva Manjari available at Share your essays
Get to know him:
Lord Buddha has been the founder of Buddhism. He was born in 563 B.C. at Lumbini of Kapilvastu Nagar of the kingdom of Nepal. Shuddhodan, the king of Shakya dynasty in the south of Nepal was his father. Maya Devi was his mother. At the time of birth Lord Buddha’s name was Siddhartha. -A week after his birth, his mother, Maya Devi died and his step-mother Mahaprajapati brought him up. During the first sixteen years of his life Siddhartha received an education in policy of state administration and also in military science. He was married to a girl named Yashodhara. After marriage, for three years he looked after the state affairs. During this period Siddhartha became a father to a son born from Yashodhara. The son was named Rahul.
His Journey:
Even during his infancy Siddhartha was of peaceful nature and he evinced a tendency towards Sanyas, i.e., (renouncing the world). Consequently, he became interested in Yoga and turned indifferent to worldly pleasures in the place. His father provided everything for his comforts and got built a number of places for him for various seasons summer, winter and rainy. But Siddhartha was not at all attracted towards these comforts and luxuries and his mood and various activities betrayed indifference. One day for a picnic he was taken to various places in the city in the princely chariot. In this process he happened to see an old person, and ailing person and a dead body. These three sights created disinterestedness in him for the world. So for seeking deliverance from birth, and death and disease he renounced his family and went to some spiritual guides. On the Usbela Mountain he learnt Yogic practices for six years. But he could not understand the mystery of birth and death. Ultimately he meditated for twelve years beneath the Bodhi tree in Gaya. After this he opened his eyes beneath the Bodhi tree and got Bodhi, that is, enlightenment. Now he was called Gautam Buddha. He received the Bodhi on the full moon day of the Hindu month Vaishakha (Vaishakhi Purnima). At this time he was about forty years of age.
How he conquered:
After attaining enlightenment (Bodhi), Lord Buddha left the Bodhi tree (Gaya) and came to Kashi (the modern Varanasi) In Kashi, at the place Samath, heave his first sermons to five disciples, i.e., Bhikshus. These sermons are famous as Dharma-Chukra-Pravartan Sutra. Lord Buddha sent these five Bhikshus to various places for preaching his ideals. The circle of his disciples continued widening. The easy and sweet language of Lord Buddha at once found a place in the hearts of listeners. Within a few days, throughout whole India Lord Buddha’s message was spread. Men and women of all castes came within the fold of Buddhism. Thus Lord Buddha continued to preach his religion for about forty years. At last at the place known as Pawapur in Kushinagar, in the district of Deoria (U.P.), Lord Buddha left his body at the age 80 years.


Another fog advisory issued
Dense fog and patchy freezing drizzle are expected overnight
by Erin AndersonFor the second time in 24 hours, Environment Canada has issued a fog advisory for Waterloo Region and our surrounding area.
The national weather agency says dense fog is expected overnight into Wednesday morning.
There's also a possibility we could see patchy freezing drizzle, so roadways and walkways may become hazardous.
Visibility could also be greatly reduced at times, so motorists need to use caution.
