Church notes - 30th September 2018

The Sermon notes from the 20th without those from the rest of the month

30th September
Psalm 51:1, 2
Prayer
- A toddler with Hip Dysplasia

Haggai 1
Background
- Babylonian exile
- Persians allowed Israelites to return
vs 1 - 3
A double standard
- They're saying that it isn't time to rebuild the Temple, but they're living in luxury.

Galatians 5:17
1 Thessalonians 4:7
Colossians 3:15
Don't make excuses for not doing God's Word while making room for your own desires
vs 5 -11
You can't control your own life - the Israelites had forgotten this.

The LORD: - He is saying that it no makes sense as created beings to put our desires ahead of the Creator's
If Relationship with God is not your priority there will always be disappointment and disatisfaction. If you want satisfaction in life your priority is obedience to God.
vs 12 -15
They respond. Their lives change in priority. The rest of our desires are rubbish compared to prioritising God in our own lives.
What does it look like to prioritise God?
What does our obedience to God look like?

Action!
Obedience is not just about good intentions. The Israelites needed to Act. The same applies to us.
Matthew 28:18 - 20
The Great Commission - We are to go forth and make disciples

Math101 Revision - Lecture 14

Math101 – Lecture 14 Revision

We say f(x) à L

As x à c, or        lim f(x) = L

                              x à c

if given ℇ > 0 there exists δ 7 such that |f(x) – L| < ℇ whenever |x à c| < δ

Prove formally that

Lim         (x + 1

____ = 1

1 - x)

X à 0

Proof: Let ℇ > 0 given let |x - 0| < δ, ie x |x| < δ with δ to be determined.

We want to prove à

|x + 1

____ - 1               < ℇ, whenever |x| < δ

1 – x      |

We have to find the δ

x + 1                      1 + x – (1 – x)

____ - 1 =            ___________

1 – x                     1 – x

               =             2x

                              ____

                              1 – x

So,

|x + 1                                  |2x

____ - 1               =             ____

1 – x      |                            1 – x|

                                             =             2|x|                      2δ

                                                            ______  <             ______

                                                            |1 + x|                 |1 + x|

|1 - x| > |1| - |x|

For δ < 1 (so |x| < 1), we have (1 – x)  > 1 - |x| > 1 - |x| > 1 – δ

               1                            1

∴           _______   <            _____

               |1 – x|                  1 – δ

∴

|1 + x                                  2δ                          2δ

_______ - 1        <             _____    <             ____

1 – x           |                       |1 – x|                 1 - δ

                              2δ                                         ℇ

Now choose at _____     = ℇ, ie δ =            ____

                              1 – c                                    2 + ℇ

Then we have

|1 + x                                  2δ          

_______ - 1        <             _____    = ℇ

1 – x           |                       1 – ℇ     

                                             ℇ

Whenever |x| < δ =        ____

                                             2 + ℇ

|x – L| < δ

i.e. – δ < x – c < δ

i.e.

c – δ < x < δ + c

Our limit, so far, are two sided. We take x à c⁺ (approach from above c) and x à c^- (approach from below c)

This will not work for √x as x à 0

We need one sided limits in this case.

eg Discuss the limit x à 1 for

               x², x > 1

f(x) = {

               1 – x, x < 1

Two sided limits at x = 1

From the left x à 1^- , f(x) = 1 – x à 0 but 0 is not in the range of f from the right, x à x⁺ f(x) = x² = 1

Limits as x à + ∞

Are one sided.

x à ∞ is from below.

x à -∞ is from above

Formally: - we say f(x) à L as x à ∞, OR               lim          f(x) = L, if given any ℇ > 0 there exists some x

                                                                                          x à ∞

such that |f(x) - L| < 3, whenever x > X.

Prove that 1/x à 0 as x à ∞

Proof: Let ℇ > 0 be given

               Let x > X, X to be determined

               [We want to prove that |1/x| < whenever x > X]

               We can take x > 0, as x > 0 and |1/x| = 1/x < 1/X

               Choose X = 1/ ℇ (as 1/x = ℇ)

So,  |1/x| < ℇ whenever x > 1/ ℇ             e.g. prove that 1/√(x ²+ 1) à 0 as à ∞

Proof: Let ℇ > 0 be given. Let x > X, x to be determined |1/√(x ²+ 1) – 0| = 1/√(x ²+ 1) < 1/x² <

                                                                                                                        Limit -->

1/X, choose x = 1/ ℇ

Then |1/√(x ²+ 1)| < ℇ for x > X

eg Prove that (√(x + 1) -√(x - 1))/x à as x à ∞

Proof: Let ℇ > 0 be given Let x > X, X to be determined

Firstly (√(x + 1) -√(x - 1))/x           =  ((√(x + 1) -√(x - 1))/x) * ((√(x + 1) + √(x + 1))/(√(x + 1) + √(x + 1))

                                                            = ((x + 1) – (x – 1))/(x(√(x + 1) + √(x + 1))

                                                            = 2/(x(√(x + 1) + √(x + 1)) < 2/x

Since √(x + 1) + √(x + 1) > 1

But 2/x < 2/X, as x > X

∴ (√(x + 1) -√(x - 1))/x < 2/x

Choose x = 2/ℇ (as 2/x = ℇ)

∴ (√(x + 1) -√(x - 1))/x < ℇ

Whenever x > X = 2/ℇ

The Engineer and the Time Lady v1

The Engineer and the Time Lady

Unknown planet

The starship was in trouble. It was out of control, entering the atmosphere of an M-Class planet, such that the crash landing would be terrible.

Crash!

Some time later.

The ship was still, especially in the main computer room. The red-alert was still flashing there. “Warning! Estimated time to total system failure: 1 day 18 hours.” An alert tone sounded.

“Initiating starship preservation protocol.”

Then there was a hum. “Activating Emergency Engineering Hologram Alpha.”

The hologram of a female engineer appeared. “Please state the nature of the Engineering Emergency.”

“Approximately 10 standard years ago; USS Ionia NCC 89401 crash-landed on an unknown M-Class planet. The Starship Preservation Protocol has been initiated,” the computer reported.

“Understood,” the engineering hologram stated. A screen activated on the side of the computer core.

Emergency fuel cells for the computer core are very low. Reinitialise the Warp Core.

That was only the first of a long list of tasks that needed to be performed.

“Computer, run a level 5 diagnostic on the holoprojectors between the Computer Core and Engineering.”

“Affirmative,” the computer said.

A minute later, the diagnostic was complete. “... Holoprojectors are functional.”

The hologram stopped outside of engineering.

“Computer, run a level 5 diagnostic on the holoprojectors in Engineering.”

The holoprojectors were functional, so she entered.

The emergency lighting was on, giving the room a sombre appearance. The hologram briefly wondered why Starfleet would program their holograms with such recognition subroutines. She shook her head and went to the powerless core.

She checked the fuel (the antimatter and deuterium) levels. Both fuels would last for a long time. She was ready to restart the core. “Computer, active Emergency Engineering Hologram Beta.”

The Core re-start required two officer.

“Affirmative.”

The Matrix Revolutions review

57 The Matrix Revolutions

Rewatch. The last of the Matrix films. This film is an improvement upon the previous film, although still not as good as the original. The consequences of the events in the previous film are well realised. Neo is 'The One', but in a way that isn't expected. He manages to negotiate a peace between the humans and the machines, and defeat Smith. The desperation of the commander of Zion's forces is well realised. As is that of the other Zion forces. The scenes showing the defense of Zion are well done.

But, there is a lot more to this film. Neo's opening scenes, where he meets the family of programs in the station, are rather well written. Neo finds that there still more to the machines that he didn't know about. The interaction between Neo and the 'Trainman' is short and to the point. Neo's discovery that he can't leave the station by other means is also well done. This leads to Trinty going the Oracle to find out what is going on. This part is written well, but is rather short, going straight from her going to the Oracle to her finding Neo.

The rest of the film as Zion fights to defend itself, while Neo confronts Smith, is rather good. The alternation between the scenes was executed well. The scene where the ship takes out the Machines attacking Zion's dock, is particularly well done (as well as the chewing out of Morpheus afterwards). However, that is not the climax of the film. That is the final fight between Neo and Smith. But to get to that, he and Trinity have to fight past various machines to get to the Machine City.

That sequence is good, showing that Neo's powers are developing, as he approaches his destiny. However, the climactic battle between Neo and Smith is what the film has been building up to. The cinematography involved in this sequence is amazing. The Wachowskis had outdone themselves from the original film. Overall, it is a satisfying ending to the trilogy after the disappointing middle instalment, and almost as good as the original. 8.75/10.
