"That nothing in terms of heart, life transformation is ever achieved apart from the work of the living God. Because he is the only one who softens hard hearts and opens darkened eyes. Well, does that mean there's a waste of your time doing what you're doing? No. Because he has chosen to use human agencies, even though success is not dependent upon the agency. So in other words, it humbles us. But it also helps us. We ought to recognize too that the idea of God being veiled throughout this story should be a help to all of us. Because frankly, that's where we live our lives, isn't it? I don't know many of you that have had a particular crossing of the Red Sea or a dramatic vehicle or a huge vision that is changed you or a revelation. No, you're just going to work tomorrow. You're just going back to do what you do tomorrow. And largely, God is unseen. So it's a great encouragement to realize that the unseen God is at work in the darkness in the doubts and the disappointments and in the delays. We need also to keep in mind that there is a higher throne than all the Thrones of the air has viruses of this world. And that God is appointing everything to its end. And finally, we need to learn too that the activities of the humans of this world that seem to be so successful and so uninhibited will send us in the wrong direction unless we learn to read our bibles properly. For your homework, let me assign some 73. Where the samus says, I almost fell off my horse when I began to think about how successful wicked people are. I almost drove my car off the road when I realized how it is that people who are so apparently opposed to God opposed to his word, opposed to anything that is morally right.

"His customary and the Roman world in the Greek world and clearly in the Persian world too, that when a sentence of death was issued, the person on the receiving end of it had their face covered. What do you remember what we read and job chapter 5? About the fact that the Wiley will come to a swift end, and do you remember what it then said? They meet with darkness in the daytime. And now him and meets with darkness in the data. They cover his face, the judgment of God falls on him. And harbor says, well, you know, he built gallows for the hanging of mordecai. Whom he refers to as the one who saved the life of the king, whose words saved the king. There's not in left out here, is there. It isn't just say, well, what about the gallows for mordecai? No, for mordecai, whose words save the king. In other words, he's saying to the king, do you realize that Heyman was going to kill the man who saved your life? And the king said, hang him on that. So they hanged him in on the gallows that he had prepared for mordecai. So sorry, sad, salutary end to a life, isn't it? Heyman had a mom and dad. They brought him up. They had dreams and hopes for him. Maybe he'll become the prime minister one day. And he did. Or did that match right now? You see the only hope that we ought to have for our children for our grandchildren is not that they become the prime minister. But they love God with all our heart and all their mind and all their soul and all their strength. That the accolades of an alien world that says this is prestige. This is success. This is significant. Hold no currency. In the bank of heaven. It's not that their marginal. It is that they are ultimately irrelevant. And what you have here in this unfolding drama is this great distinction between those who have hope in God alone because the people of God are moving as we sang in our song and ultimately they realized that the rest is not in Jerusalem, the rest is not in the promised land, but their rest is in God alone. I rest in God alone. As opposed to, I rest in myself and my ego in my desires in my longings in my significance. I mean Heyman could justifiably be buried with Franks and actress singing. I did it my way, because he did do it his way. And he came to a story end.

"The idea that wine is a strong drink and it is raging and there is great danger that is represented in the imbibing of search is set against the fact that wine is given by God to gladden the heart of man. And so there is little that is able to gladden the heart of a king here in relationship to what he's enjoying and he goes out into the palace garden erupting in his anger. Now there's all kinds of thoughts, aren't there that run through our minds as to what he's doing out in the garden? I don't think he's out in the garden trying to figure out what he's supposed to do. Heyman has already figured out what's going to happen to him because he saw 7 says he saw that harm was determined against him by the king. He knew in that instant, I'm a dead man. Because he knew what this king was like. So if the king hasn't gone out into the garden to say, what should I do now? What is he doing in the garden? I think he's out in the garden. This is conjecture in my part. Your sense of people figuring it out. He's out in the garden, on the horns of a dilemma. Because he had signed haman's edict into law. He had backed it with his royal signature. He was as much responsible for the potential demise of his queen and the death of the Jewish people that eradication as him and himself in many ways more so. So what is he now going to do? Is he now going to kill his prime minister? For a plot that he the king had actually approved. And how is that going to play? And then newspaper. Whereas ordered the assassination today of prime minister Heyman. For a plot to annihilate the Jews, which has been published throughout the entire kingdom and is anticipated in some 8 months time.

"Many books or movies just when you think the evil villain is about to win, there's an unbelievable plot twist. Well, in the same way, today on truth for life, we'll find out how Heyman, the prideful enemy of the Jews, became hopelessly ensnared in his own wicked scheme. Alistair begg is teaching from chapter 7 in the book of Esther. So she has donned a royal robe, she's gone into the presence of the king, she has gone through feast number one. Then there has been chapter 6 where she's been doing nothing at all, apparently. And then in chapter 7, she back in action again. She purposefully uses the words of the edict, doesn't she? I'm asking for my life. I'm asking for the lives of my people. They're my people. We have been sold. Heyman knew that he'd been the one who'd sold them down the river. And the skill in this as she spills the beans is that she can get them all over the place. She needs to do this in such a way that the spotlight is turned on Heyman without actually implicating the king. Because when the king says, who is he and where is he? She might justifiably have said, do you have a mirror? But she's not going to do that. That wouldn't be smart. That wouldn't be shrewd. She's not just pretty. She's clever. She couldn't simply appeal to the king. On the basis of his sense of right and wrong, because he didn't have much of a sense of right and wrong. She couldn't appeal to the king and say, you know, killing people like this destroying an annihilating big groups of people is not a good idea. You know, genocide is wrong. She couldn't go to him with that. Why? Because he didn't believe it was wrong. He didn't care about it. Before we finish, I'm going to show you what a bad man he really was. The only way she could really appeal to him was on the strength of his own self interest. I wouldn't have come to you, said if it just involved slavery, but because it involves my death and I'm your favorite queen, I don't think you want to lose the group because if you lose the group, you lose me. And I have found favor in your site. Have an eye? See, giving him the eye, you know? Hey. And he is not like he's not above that, is he? No, he's susceptible. We all are. And Heyman and conned him. Condom into arranging for the killing of his favorite queen. Why don't you say he should have been paying more attention? There is no question that he should have been paying more attention. He was a bit of a vacillator. He is approached a government was sort of hands off. He was then able to say, oh, I didn't realize what I did. But he's confronted now. Who is he? Where is he? Who has done this? And Esther said, here's some more of the beans. And Esther said, a full and enemy. Oh, come on. This wicked him. Boom. Then haman was terrified before the king and the queen. So Esther spills the beans, secondly, the king explodes.

"She was a child of Judaism. Therefore, she had the law of Moses to contend with. Therefore, presumably she didn't. That wouldn't be right. Frankly, I was wrong. Was it right for her to be wrong? No, it was wrong for her to be wrong. Well, did her be in wrong, jeopardized the fulfillment of the plan of God? No. Well, then, does that legitimize us doing wrong things? No. Or what, think? She takes her stand with the people of God on reservedly. Some of us haven't really done that. I can just say this in passing. Some of us are some of us are still trying this kind of secret discipleship thing. Slip in here on a Sunday and then evaporate Monday through Saturday. Identify as long as there are people around us who share our convictions, but as soon as we go back into the workplace or back into the home environment or the college or whatever it is or into the lab, back we go into secret mode. There's going to come a time where we have to step forward. And this is, this is her moment. She purposefully uses the words of the edict, doesn't she? I'm asking for my life. I'm asking for the lives of my people. There are my people. You can imagine, as where is looking at her and going, are you kidding me? I've been married to a Jewish girl all this time. And I never knew why you did a good job. You're good. Yeah, she says, we've been sold, I and my people. And she uses a language from the edict to be destroyed to be killed, to be annihilated. We have been sold, think about Heyman sitting at the table now. And things are not going particularly well, but the little phrase we have been sold. It just feels the spotlight begin to turn on him. Heyman knew that he'd been the one who'd sold them down the river. And the skill in this as she spills the beans is that she can get them all over the place. She needs to do this in such a way that the spotlight is turned on Heyman without actually implicating the king. Because when the king says, who is he and where is he?

"Has now become a representation of, again, the words of Solomon proverbs 25 15, which reads with patients a ruler may be persuaded and a soft tongue will break a bone. With patience, a ruler may be persuaded. Now, if you think about this, those of us who are inpatient by nature have been dying to get to the end of chapter 7. I mean, we've been longing for the death of him and the hanging of Heyman has been like hanging over Eisenhower for weeks. Some of you have said to me, could you speed it up, please? I'm sick of him. Somebody said to him in this morning, I met him in between the first and second services. Oh, what a great day it is. I said, why is that? He said, Heyman gets hanged today. I'm not sure that we're supposed to think that way just about poor old Hammond, but nevertheless, those of us who are inpatient, we're saying, you know, what in the world is Esther doing? Speed the jolly process up here. She got a wife like to have a feast, okay? What? Well, I think I'd like to have another feast. Okay, all right, fine. Well, what she's actually been doing is very skillful, isn't it? There's method in this. Because what she has managed to do is she's cornered her king by getting him to acknowledge publicly on three separate occasions that he's going to give her what she wishes that he's going to grant her her request. Just in case, he said the first time, well, whatever you like, I'll give you, and then he changed his mind. She doesn't jump on that one. Even when he asks her the second time in the feast, she doesn't jump on that one. And she waits until we come back to this feast, and now here we go. She embodies the truth of ecclesiastes three. There is a time to be silent. And there is a time to speak. There's a lesson from our silence as well. She doesn't just go blustering in. The way some of us go into circumstances, no, she's very, very careful. And now it's queen Esther's moment. I think you should note that three times in the opening three verses or so. She's referred to as Queen Esther. One says Esther, but on three occasions Queen Esther Queen Esther Queen Esther. Obviously, the writer, I want us to understand that having gone in, wearing a royal robes, she is maybe a really clear to the king that she's his queen. That she's, if you like, is number one queen. That she's the one who had received the great accolades and who was preferred and loved beyond all the others. So her relationship to the king really matters. Of course, it does. And in particular, in relationship to what she's about to disclose. Her moment has come. She's passive. If I have found favor in your site, first three, and if it please the king, here we go. Let my life be granted me for my wish and the life of my people for my request. There you have it. It's done. Read the commentator says, this is Esther's moment. This is the moment when she takes seriously mordecai's challenge to her. What was mordecai's challenge to her?

"And outside of it, no matter how clever an individual may be, that which is their enjoyment does not fit within this category. So haman would have done well to pay attention to the opening verses of proverbs chapter 7, which read as follows, do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day will bring. And let another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips. And of course, we know now that haman failed on both counts, we've seen that he is unbelievably proud. And as a result of that, he is presumptuous. He presumes upon time he presumes upon his place and status and so on. He should have paid attention to Solomon when he wrote whoever digs a pit will fall into it. And a stone will come back on him who starts at rolling. It's proverbial statement, of course. Doesn't mean categorically every time you dig a pit, you will fall into it, but it is not uncommon. Especially if you dig a pit for someone else that you don't actually end up in there or once you start something rolling that may be to the detriment of others it may actually collapse on you. Some of you have proved that. You decided with a significant lack of wisdom that you would try and make sure that somebody in office number four did not get the promotion that you felt was unbelievably and most necessarily designed for you. So you started the ball rolling. And you ended up rolling yourself right out of the company. On wittingly, you got a pit for one of your colleagues, and you fell into it. That's the wisdom of Solomon and it is so far removed from him and thinking that it's great incredible, isn't it? He had got the ball rolling for the murder of mordecai.

"And the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine as Heyman was falling on the couch, where Esther was. And the king said, will he even assault the queen in my presence in my own house? As the word left the mouth of the king, they covered him in his face. One of the eunuchs in attendance on the king said, moreover, the gallows that him and his prepared for mordecai, whose words saved the king is standing at haman's house 50 cubits high. And the king said, hang him on that. So they hanged him and on the gallows that he had prepared for mordecai. Then the wrath of the king abated. Thanks, Peter God, for his word. Father rebel before you were great and good God, thanking you that you have made yourself known to us, the wonder of your ways and your dealings in your word. And as we continue our study here in this book from so long ago, our prayers that you will make yourself known to us, help us to see ourselves and to see our savior. And to turn to him in repentance and in faith for its in his name we pray. Amen. Some of you will remember that I told you before that radar was invented by a Scotsman. A man by the name of Robert Watson watt. He was later knighted for his work in the military. And the invention of radar was a wartime invention, and he received as a reward some $140,000, which was the largest sum ever awarded for a wartime invention. Subsequently, when he was driving in Canada, he was caught for speeding in a radar trap. And acknowledging the irony of what was represented in that, he wrote a little verse about it, which goes as follows pity, sir Robert Watson watt, strange target of his radar plot. And thus, with others, I could mention a victim of his own invention. Now, I begin there because that provides an apt summary of what happens here in chapter 7 to Heyman. Far more significant, far more devastating, but nevertheless, Heyman is essentially hoisted on his own petar. You will recall, I hope that at the end of chapter 5 him and had been pleased at the suggestion of his wife and friends to take mordecai out. If he was such a nuisance to him, let's be done with mordecai. Let's kill him. And so if you allow your eye to scan the text, then you will find inverse 14 of chapter 5 that this idea pleased came in and he had the gallows made. And so at the end of chapter 5, he has the gallows made. And now at the end of chapter 7, we read the words so they hanged him and on the gallows that he had prepared for mordecai. Now what a difference a day makes. Heyman would have been well served by paying attention to the wisdom of Solomon. Captured for us largely in the book of proverbs. A book that tells us that real wisdom is found in the fear of the lord. In understanding who God is, what God desires what God has done. What he is accomplished in making a way for sinful men and women who have no interest in him to be reconciled to him. It is in this discovery of God. And in this rightful sense of fear of God, that wisdom has to be found.

"Some people who live their lives as secret disciples. They prefer to keep their faith private. Eventually, though, there will come a day when every person has to step forward and declare what they believe. Today on truth for life, we'll find out what happened when Queen Esther revealed her true identity to the king. Alistair begg is continuing a series called a study in Esther. Esther chapter 7 verse, while that started verse 14 of chapter 6. I had the conversation has taken place between his wife, that's the wife of him and some of his friends. They're essentially telling him that he's pretty well on his own now. And while they were yet talking with him the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring him into the feast that Esther had prepared. So the king and him and went into feast with Queen Esther and on the second day as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king again said to Esther, what is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled. Then queen Astor answered, if I have found favor in your sight or king, and if it please the king, let my life be granted me for my wish, and my people, for my request, for we've been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent for our reflection is not to be compared with the loss to the king. Then king and his wearers said to Queen Esther, who is he, and where is he, who has dared to do this? And Esther said, a full and enemy, this wicked Heyman. Then haman was terrified before the king and the queen. And the king arose in his wrath from wine drinking and went into the palace garden, but hayman stayed to beg for his wife from Queen Esther for he saw that harm was determined against him by the king.

"Let them dress the man whom the king delights to honor and let them lead him on the horse through the square of the city proclaiming before him, thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor. Then the king said to him, hurry, take the robes, and the horse, as you have said, and do so to mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned. So Heyman took the robes and the horse and he dressed mordecai and led him through the square of the city proclaiming before him, thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor. Then mordecai returned to the king's gate, but Heyman hurried to his house mourning and with his head covered. And him and told his wife zarish and all his friends, everything that had happened to him. Then his wise man and his wife zery said to him if mordecai before whom you have begun to fall is one of the Jewish people, you will not overcome him. But will surely fall before him. While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring him into the feast. That Esther had prepared. So the king and haman went into the feast with Queen Esther. And we leave the story there for now. Let's pray together. Thank you, father, for the reminder this morning that part of the work of the Holy Spirit is to help us to understand the Bible. So we pray for that help now. In Jesus name, amen. Well, we say to one another, don't we, the early bird catches the worm. There's great advantages in getting up early in the morning. Those of us who were here early this morning are up early. I had the benefit of seeing that wonderful sunrise. Others will only be able to know about it because we're telling you now. And it would appear that I am and worked on a very similar principle. He was up early in the morning so that he might be promptly in the court of the king. After all, his wife and his friends had given him such a good suggestion in the previous evening. Why not build a gallows and kill mordecai the Jew, he's such a nuisance to you, and then once you've killed him, then you can go to the second banquet feast that Esther has prepared. And that really then was the strategy in the morning with which haman had awakened. Little did he know what was waiting for him. It's a reminder of what Solomon says in proverbs ten. The hope of the righteous brings joy by the expectation of the wicked will perish. The hope of the righteous will bring joy to them, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. It's not just Solomon that says that we find it all the way through the Bible. In fact, the book of psalms opens with a very similar theme, doesn't it? Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the council of the ungodly or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the sculptors. And then the summit says, this is what this man would be like, a tree planted by the rivers of water, and his life will prosper. And then he says, but the wicked or not so, because they're like the chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore, the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

It's that, but it's really about reclaiming. The genius of our ancestors, and she says, bringing it into a 21st century format so kids can see its relevancy. Student Rose Lab A says, Take wildfires back when indigenous people were still on their land. They did practice controlled Bernie, she says. Native people set up a perimeter and burned within it. Clearing out underbrush. New plants would grow back replenishing the forest. When white settlers arrived, she says the practice was to suppress wildfires at all costs. Without the periodic fires, the forest lost an important control mechanism. Experts say the forest in the Haman fire was unnaturally dense. For their unit. The students studied how indigenous views on wildfire are starting to influence fire management strategies in places like Australia and California. Back at the Drone Control's Meadow.

"Of May. God is always to have you along everybody summer starts. Unofficially anyway, this weekend, so you might think things would be slowing down. Economic news would be ebbing, and we would all be getting ready for a nice slow couple of months. If you thought that You would be wrong Lots happening this week and lots happening in the next couple of weeks and months ahead. So let us discuss Nayla Richardson is at a dp Lynette Lopez. Is that business? Insider? Hey, everybody. Hey, I say everybody is really just the three of us. Okay, So look, Neela, let me start with you. And I know preface the question by observing that the White House today as expected, dropped the president's budget request for the coming fiscal year. Six trillion ish dollars a lot of money. We'll get into that. I do want to talk, though about His projections. The White House economists projections really for economic growth in the out years, 2%, which is not as robust as say, the prior administration had been thinking the economy would grow. Why do you think they're being conservative like that? Because it's the truth. Actually, it's the gravitational. I know. I know truth, but it is the gravitational pull of the economy. Look, let's set aside the post pandemic recovery because that's a story in itself. 10 years of expansion before the pandemic was at an average pace of 2.3%. The power of that longest expansion in U. S history had been it's slow growth, low inflation characteristics. Once we get through this recovery, that's exactly right back to where we're going slow growth in the out years it around 2% and even further out maybe 1.5%. That is the trajectory unless we make some interesting investments that will pay off long term. Well, we were gonna get back to the investments in a minute. But, Lynette, I want to point out that $6 Trillion for small is a lot of money. Also, this budget calls for Annual deficits. Right? That's the amount of money were short every single year of $1.3 Trillion for, like another 10 years, which is a lot of bonds that are gonna have to be sold. Are people gonna want to keep on buying our debt? If we're just piling it on like this? That remains to be seen. But so far the answer has been. Yes. And, uh, you know, I think that the Fed and the White House are both very confident that the answer will continue to be. Yes. They're betting that yields will continue to be low, and that will be continue to borrow. But, um I just don't think they're concerned about that. The concern to them is whether or not they can pass this stuff. Whether they can get that Republicans to stop talking about. You know how we gonna pay for it while at the same time saying we can't raise taxes? Um it's a very confusing little two step those guys were doing, but no. You know the It doesn't seem that concerning that the rest of the world will stop buying us debt. I don't want to get into the weeds of the Fed's balance. She kneel and and all of that stuff, But the Fed has been and will be if you take J. Powell at his word, because we do. Providing support for this economy for a very long time. This this budget kind of assumes that that's going to keep on going. Well, that has been the messaging that the Fed has lined up behind that the support will continue, though You're starting to see some fraying around the edges with some of the members of the Fed. President community talking about the idea of like dialing back a little bit on bond purchases, but the support at the top with Jay Powell has been a commitment toe. Rock bottom interest rates and continued bond buying to support the economy through the recovery and also recognize that certain communities have been more impacted than others. And so even as the macro economy continues to recover, there are some communities. African Americans. Unemployment rate comes to mind that need a longer term assistance, and it sounds like The Fed is more and more likely to keep that positioning so that everyone enjoys that recovery right And that's what Powell said. He's going to let the economy run hot so that everybody, even the bottom end of the income spectrum can benefit. Let let me turn the Oh inflation here for a second, and I don't want to get all Larry Summers here and the sky is falling. Please don't I'm not gonna I'm not gonna, and that will be the last mention of him on this program for quite a while until like next week. We were talking about Haman Al Arian next week, and we're gonna talk about summer's then but that's cool. Yeah, No, it's gonna be a good conversation, but Um, I do want to talk about inflation. Not this summer, right? Because we know pent up demand supply chain backlogs and all of that stuff. Prices going up. We've been talking about that. Talk to me about inflation. Come like October November when a lot of this stuff is through the pipeline, and we're back to something near normal. What do you What do you think? Well, so it looks like the markets not that worried about inflation. It looks like market the market thinks is this transitory and it looks like the market is actually pretty optimistic about what this is gonna look like. When things shake out. We still have an economy that is, you know, the wealthy have way more purchasing power than than the middle class of the people on the bottom. And that has created a dislocation that I think is the thing that and a lot of economists think is what's really putting pressure on inflation and keeping in keeping interest rates low, So it's quite possible that we'll be back to where we were with low interest rates when this is all over, and I think that's what a lot of people, uh, when a lot of people on Wall Street think, but you know you've got Inflation hawks people, you know, going back to the 19 seventies makes a lot of these guys feel young. So I think it s Oh, sometimes I think that Z You know why? Why they do that. But, um, it's more likely that the gravitational pull of our demand demography that is more likely to keep rates low. Miller, let me ask you this as the trained economist in the room and as you navigate An economy, which is honestly it's a little bit haywire right because we were shut down for a long time and our coming back and there's pent up the man and all of that stuff. How do you look at this and try to forecast? I mean, because the models Are a little bit are a little bit sideways. They are they are, and they don't always reveal what you need about the health of the economy. And I think we're in this odd moment Kai where we can be more confident about the economy after September than we can this summer, because after September we were getting closer to that mystical. Level of herd immunity, more adults vaccinated kids vaccinated and important for women's labor market participation where we'll have hopefully, full time day care and child care. So things look actually brighter when things air fully reopened. I think this is a murky period where we really don't know where things stand. Um Lynette mentioned of the inequality, that's president. We think this inflation is transitory, but there are some rising press. Price levels. And we don't know whether fading stimulus member all this direct payments to consumers in March. Whether that effect will fade over time and actually dampen some of the consumer spending and circling back to the key theme of the economy, it's all about the consumers. If they stop spending or start saving more, the economy just doesn't grow. It's fast, right. And that is the September October piece of this Neil Richardson at a DP and Lynette Lopez had business insider Thanks you too. Thank you. God, I have a nice weekend on Wall Street today. That old saying, sell in May and go away. Yeah, That's not what people did details numbers. You know the drill..

We find that people have good levels of vitamin D. Better at resisting, Um Getting covert 19. And it's also good for your heart, but vitamin D you know, you can take the little gel cap, but vitamin D primarily your body produces it when you're exposed to the sun. And some dermatologists thinking that vitamin D Yes, it is good at protecting your body. And maybe we're not getting enough of it because we put the sunscreen on immediately. Now I know The experts say. Put the sunscreen on before you go outside and make sure you cover evenly, but make sure it's had a little bit of a chance to soak in before you go outside. And, um That's a good point. But I've heard some doctors say, you know, maybe if you get a little bit of fun, you get your natural vitamin D. Then you put the sunscreen on. Again.

Small Business Saturday: How to Survive and Thrive in COVID Times
"Small business. Saturday is quickly approaching. He'll probably look a little bit different than last year. Here with the vice and i take advantage of holiday. Season is chip haman. Who's the deputy president small commercial of the hanover. Insurance group chip. Welcome back to the show. Thank you. It's good to be here so everyone's excited about the holiday season but it's gonna be a little different than last year. I completely agree. Coach changes everything. So what should small businesses do to take advantage of this time of year. Which is really important. Their overall sales. I think you hit the right point there as much as covid. We'll bring some challenges. This is always an important time of year for for small businesses Some small businesses may see after their sales come from right last know forty five days of the year so the the things that i think about. Our inventories tend to be maxed out at this time of year roles and staffing can be stretched. And and you know whether it's seasonal workers or have you people work overtime certainly here. In the northern part of the country winter weather arrives and that can Throw challenges in as well now. I know i agree. It definitely will be It will definitely be a transition so with all of these types of things. How can small business owners prepare. Well as always we recommend that Small businesses work with an independent agent to to help them because in every small business is unique even when they stay within the same industry. So things that you know. We like to have businesses think about our our their basic insurance coverage so that when something does if something does go wrong that they're they're protected So an inventory bursting at the teams Making sure limits or adequate their coverage With these being some of the most important sales days the year share their business income coverage that protects them throw unable to conduct their business. mixture their limits are adequate There can be challenges From hiring seasonal workers so whether it's training these employees for workers compensation or Making sure that you you hire the right people not forgetting to do background checks and and the like and then sort of just thinking about all of the you know the christmas traffic that comes in and all of that. You know before you add kobe done. So let's talk about a few of those because you talk about business income coverage but my understanding is is that this is something would happen besides cove it like if there was a fire or another natural disaster. Spit fire seems to be. The you know the most dramatic but you know water damage can be you know. Got a very common one. Whether it's a a pipe break on the street out in front of you. A neighbouring tenant as high frac- or an apartment above you has frac- there's all sorts of different things that can happen. And when when any of those things happen and they cause you to have to close your doors Hopefully not for long period but even just a few days at this critical time of the year Not only are you losing sales. You're losing your profits.

Europe without Merkel
"We're looking at Germany. What Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced her decision to step down as leader of the ruling, Christian Democrats. So all we know entering the post Merckel era. And what might it look like joining me on the line from Berlin is up euro chief there guys on in here in the studio as European editor Ben home die. First of all. What's this a surprise? Mrs Merkel's decision to step down. It was actually a surprise. Everybody was watching very carefully the elections in Hesse, which is one of the states in west Germany. They have elections on Sunday, and the CD you the Christian Democratic Union. Michael's party had been doing incredibly badly in the polls. And on the night. They all said did extremely badly their vote share shrank by eleven percentage points, but they actually scraped through which meant that they were able to stay in power and renew their coalition with the greens. And not even after bring in any coalition party. He's so actually the result was nowhere near as bad as some people had been expecting. I mean, there had been even suggestions that the government might have been voted out of office in that direction. It didn't happen. Now if that eventuality had happened everybody was expecting that Michael would step down. But the fact that the CPU clung to power meant. Indeed, I wrote myself it looked like she dodged the bullet despite that she decided to stand down. And that was the thing that surprised everybody that she squeaked through and Ponzi and squeak through and still she decided to stand down. And yet she's also said she intends or light to stay on as chancellor until twenty twenty one. But at the same time, there's now a contest onto lead the CD you so is her position tenable d think and who's emerging as the front runner for the CD you. Well, everything depends on who is elected party leader. Because there are three candidates who've declared one of them is Michael's anointed to add RS, rather undergrad. Cramped Cowan Bauer who's the current secretary general of the you now she is very much Marcle clone. She's very loyal to the chancellor, and she generally has a similar kind of agenda to her. She's very popular in the party. And she is odds on favor of the moment to win. But there are two others who declared Jens bond, the health minister and free with mounts who is a former head of the parliamentary group, and he is a real ideological industry of Michael's and spun this to now if either spun or Mets win, then all bets are off no one really expense medical to be able to survive as chancellor till two thousand twenty one till the next elections. If either Mansell spun our elected posse leader, it would just be completely impossible combination. She would understand that as well. And there's no way that she would persist in trying to cling onto the job of chancellor if one of. Ideological rivals gets the party leadership say ideological rivals. What are the key splits? Welsh fawn for example, walls, her most ferocious critic during the whole refugee crisis. He really was very outspoken against her sort of liberal policy of keeping Germany's borders open during the crisis, which led to an influx of more than a million migrants as we know mainly from the Middle Eastern North Africa. He's been very very critical of that. He's very very hard line on the fact that these people now have to integrate, and if they don't then they should be kicked out. He's sort of taking a very hotline. So almost like AFDC line alternates of Germany, this all the sort of anti immigration line. Although I must say since he became a minister became health minister in March. He's hot down a bit Matt's. Also, he was always very strongly opposed to Merckel and the way she essentially pushed the party to the left or to the the centre-left of German politics bay. Basically, he represents disgruntled older generation in although he's not so old himself. But he'd represents that sort of group of conservatives women the who have resented the way Mackel has tried to modernize the party. They wanted to return to its conservative roots? Now, Ben, obviously one of the characteristics of the Merckel era is that Germany's become more and more. Evidently, the dominant force inside the European Union. So the rest of Europe will be watching this with considerable interest and perhaps some nervousness. Yes. I mean, once again, European is a sort of bystanders to German domestic politics, which is becoming all too familiar. Pose for the last several years through the eurozone crisis. Of course, you could remember moments of critical decision making that depended on voices and debates like in the Bundestag in Berlin. I'm sure leaders across the continental watching incredibly closely to see what comes out of the CD you leadership contest. And then the stability of the government. If mocal really wants to stay till twenty twenty one it's quite likely that will have lots more instability, particularly within the grand coalition from the SPD. So this may well be a German government that does very little the next three years, which will be bad news for your how bad though, I mean, can you actually cope with a period of stasis where nothing much happens? Yes. It could I suppose I've just been in Paris. And I think there's a very strong French view, for example, that this is actually quite a benign period of relative economic growth. And actually, this is the time precisely the time to fix problems, particularly in the yours in for the next crisis, which may not be not far away. And I suppose the other big threat. Of course, he's the populist insurgency, which is really gaining traction across the continent. And I think certainly the view in Paris is that Europe can't afford to just sit there and do nothing has to move, and it has to respond to try and galvanize citizens behind sort of more pro European position and to try and sort of quell this. Insurgency? But I guess the reality is isn't a guy that even under the pretty pro-european. Centrist, Mrs Merkel, the German government had been pretty disappointing as far as the French concerned in responding to some of these more ambitious plans for European integration. Yes. Absolutely. I mean, I think one of the big surprises in a way has been the performance of Schultz. The finance minister here when the coalition treaty was hammered out between the city and the PD in February March that was a very strong European chat to that. Which was basically written by the Fulmer SPD leader Martin Schulz who was himself a former president of the European parliament. It was incredibly strongly pro European very idealistic really sort of buying into the whole macro Mian vision of reform and what's happened since. Then obviously, it was Martin Schulz was kicked out and the currently does, AVI. SP a Turkey not interested in European. Reform more yours and reform all of Schultz's just down to be sort of pale imitation of Wolfgang showing blah in fact, lacking showing blows vision of European integration. So he's been a big disappointment for those who are really hoping that the new German Grand coalition would respond to microns of reform proposals in a positive way. So if anything I suspect, then Ben a new Germany would become actually more introverted because the best you could hope for its continuity from European point of view with a look alike, but if it were spun type figure, you would have a headset used what nationalistic, but a more conservative, more, Germany. I approach I think that's probably right. I mean angular mogul has been chancellor for thirteen years. She's a set at Europe's top table for that long. And even though she has a self been incredibly cautious and conservative in the way that she's handled a lot of European questions. She does have a very strong kind of European. Instinct and sensibility, which perhaps successes won't have to agree that possibly the next chancellor is going to be less pro European than angular Merckel. I suppose the thing that we have to remember though, is that they're not going to be that Euro-sceptic Germany is still a pro European country. It's still very much in Germany's national interests to want to strong Europe. And I don't see us Manipur from the far, right? Fringe with the rise of alternative for Deutschland. Which by the way, looks like it might be plateauing anyway in public support. I don't see a huge shift to the right on the big European question in Germany, and I guess the irony is that even if Germany is losing some of its traditional europhilia, it's never been more powerful in Europe and more central to what's happening inside the and that will only be essentially with Brexit. Oh, that's certainly true, especially with Italy locked in a showdown with Brussels and other Member States and intentions with the east Spain, which seems to. To be fairly politically weak and Britain. Obviously leaving the big question is whether Emmanuel Macron can recover popularity in France, and whether he can bring his reforms to bear to convince Germany and convince public opinion on political opinion in Germany that reform is for real. And therefore, you know, Germany should take his ideas for your zone reform, for example, more seriously and finally guy I mean, maybe it's a little bit too soon to be writing the victories for the mobile era. But what do you think she will be remembered for him and she's been in power long time? I think essentially she'll be remembered for many things I mean, it's interesting when people sort of looked back they look at the great chance of Germany's postwar history people like Konrad Adenauer who really anchored Germany in the western lines helmet Kohl who achieved German reunification, and it's interesting. You know, she's been chancellor for thirteen years. And when you ask people, so what is she going to be remembered for people? Struggled to come up with announcer. And the funny thing is that a lot of people think it and Haman Han than say, the refugee crisis and actually that in a way might be a lasting legacy. I mean, I think she would resent that because it wasn't a hit finest hour. But I think in many ways the fact that she stood up for the idea of open borders for the idea of humanitarianism and for the liberal world order in a way in her response to that crisis. I think that says a lot about her. And I think also says a lot about how she changed Germany because I think that approach would never have happened before she had become chancellor, the German response to the refugee crisis. Will I think be remembered in decades to come as an extraordinary moment in recent European history and Harada was absolutely critical.
