Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
Contractual Agreement
Contractual Agreement Means: is another term sometimes used in place of “contract.” Thus, a contractual agreement is a legally enforceable agreement entered into by two or more parties to do, or refrain from doing, one or more things specified in the contract.
Brothers and Sisters we are in a Contractual Agreement with Jesus to do The Father’s Will in Our Lives. The Father drew up the Contract and it was Agreed by Jesus the Conditions of the Contract.
Matthew 26:51-54 KJV
"51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
The Conditions of the Contract are written in the Old Testament and in the New Testament that the Price, the Condition of the Contract between Jesus and The Father, was that Jesus had to one, bear witness of The Father, two, had to take All Sin that Man and Satan has devised upon Himself, three, had to face Death and Separation from The Father, in which the later, Separation From The Father, Jesus did not know was coming.
In this Contractual Agreement that we have with Jesus included the above, that no matter what Sin there is, Jesus Contract with The Father is Fulfilled and Paid in Full by The Blood Of Jesus.
Galatians 5:19-21 KJV
"19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
This List of Sins above in Scripture, are not a Full List of Sin’s, for each one that is listed, there are Sub Categories to each. Example of Envy: begrudging, bitterness, hatred, ill will, jealousy, malice, prejudice, resentment, rivalry, backbiting, coveting, covetousness, enviousness, grudging, lusting, malevolence, maliciousness, malignity, opposition, spite, evil eye, green-eyed monster, grudging, invidiousness, jaundiced eye, resentfulness, begrudge, covet, crave, resent, yearn, desire, grudge, hanker, hunger, long, lust, thirst, want, be envious, die over, eat one's heart out, have hard feelings, object to, turn green
This is just one word, “Envyings”, in the Scripture but has many Sub Category’s that we do not often think of. All Sin, no matter the Category or Sub Category has been Covered by The Blood Of Jesus, the ONLY Sacrifice that The Father will now accept as Payment For Sin. But this is Not all of the Contractual Agreement, for us, there are Terms to this Contractual Agreement, that even Jesus had to Agree With and Had To DO!
Matthew 26:39 KJV
“And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt]."
The Terms of the Contractual Agreement is to Do The Fathers Will. This Term Agreement is that it carries from Jesus to Us in All Things, both Great and Small!!!
Jesus Accepted The Father’s Contractual Agreement, this was the First Step of Payment For Sin…then Jesus had to make Full Payment in giving His Life to Fulfill The Contractual Agreement. Jesus could not have stopped at just Accepting The Contract, it would have meant NOTHING, but Jesus had to Fulfill The Contractual Agreement by giving His Full Life, which was a Term Condition in the Contractual Agreement.
We, Brothers and Sisters are Under The Same Contractual Agreement. We must Agree to the Contract, that by Accepting Jesus as Savior is the First Part of the Contractual Agreement. There are Terms that go with the Contractual Agreement that MUST be followed, or else the Contractual Agreement is VOID!!!
In these Terms, there are No Negotiation, No Pleas, No Bargaining, it is the Full Terms or it is NOTHING and it is the Same Terms that Jesus had to follow with The Father, it is in giving Your Life Completely, In All Areas, to Jesus. When Jesus paid for Our Sins, He could NOT have stopped at being Betrayed, could NOT stop at being Imprisoned, could NOT stop at being Mocked, could NOT stop at being Beaten, could NOT stop at being Spit upon, could NOT stop at being Nailed To A Cross, could NOT stop when The Father turned away from His Only Son. No, Jesus had to go the Full Distance in order for The Price Of Sin to be Acceptable to The Father.
There are those who think Once Saved, Always Saved, there are those who think that Accepting Jesus as Savior is all that it takes, but Scripture’s, The Terms Of The Contractual Agreement say different.
Matthew 7:21 KJV
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
The “Will Of My Father” are Our Terms in the Contractual Agreement With Jesus, just Accepting Jesus as Savior is NOT Good Enough!!! Jesus made other claims to this as well…
Luke 9:62 KJV
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Matthew 16:25 KJV
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."
John 12:24 KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
John 14:21 KJV
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."
Forgiveness has a Heavy Price that MUST be Paid, there is no other way, nothing else will be Acceptable to Jesus or The Father. We must carry out the Terms of the Contractual Agreement, which is in a nut shell, Jesus is saying this, I will Forgive Your Sin not matter what the Sin Is, if and only if YOU Agree with My Terms to Live the Rest Of YOUR LIFE doing My Fathers Will and if you do not, NO DEAL!!!
Too many people think we have this magic umbrella that once we Speak that we Accepted Jesus as Lord that we are Covered no matter what…WHO came up with this nonsense, non Scriptural Heresy???... Man and Satan, NOT God!
Yes, we can slip and fall and sin once we are Saved, but there is a Restitution for this, that one we need to be or trying to Live Godly in All Areas Of Our Lives and two we must run to Jesus asking for Forgiveness once again, recognizing Our Actions as Sin and Jesus will Forgive Us. You cannot go to Mary, a Priest, any man or woman or child, you MUST go directly to Jesus to Receive Forgiveness Of Sin in EVERY CASE!!!
Luke 13:24 KJV
“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
The Forgiveness of Our Sin is a Contractual Agreement with Terms to that agreement, that is Unchangeable in any form. Man and Satan will come up with every doctrine of excuse to why you can enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven, they will try variations of many kinds, but Jesus said you can bring to me all of Your Doctrine, all of Your Excuses and I will NOT Accept them in any fashion or form, no matter how much you plea!!! My, Jesus, conditions are that I will Forgive Your Sins, You, Agree to Live according to My Fathers Will, nothing else will be Acceptable!!!
One last thing about this Contractual Agreement With Terms, is that it includes both The Old Testament and The New Testament in How we are to Live. Yes, there are many things in the Old Testament that have nothing to do with us, but they are and can be insights to The Fathers Will on How To Live According To HIS WILL. There are many things we find in the Old Testament that we also fine in the New Testament, but the one thing that must be kept in mind, is that The Fathers Will has not changed on How We Are To Live, it just Transitions from the Old to the New with Sin being taken care of. For an example the Ten Commandments are just as valid today as it was when The Father gave them to Moses, that is part of The Fathers Will on How To Live.
The Forgiveness of Sin did not wipe out the Commandments, Statues, Ordnances on How To Live, what Jesus took care of was the Offerings For Sin, He alone became the Only Sacrifice For All Sins. It needs to be Taught, it needs to be Lived, what it means to Accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, for the two are Not the same thing… Savior is the Contract, Lord is Living The Terms of The Contract.
Our Contractual Agreement With Terms cannot be changed!
Amen and Amen!!!

The solder reflow process is influenced by a variety of factors, including the composition of the solder paste, the type of reflow oven, and the temperature profile of the solder joint. In order to achieve optimal soldering results, it is essential that you understand these factors and how they interact. We are going to take a closer look at the solder reflow temperature curve in this article. It can be divided into four phases/zones that can be distinguished between the main temperature changes associated with the soldering temperature curve.
SMT Solder ReflowTemperature Curve
1.The Preheating Zone
2.The Constant Zone
Firstly, it aims to establish a uniform temperature across the entire PCB board. This aids in minimizing thermal stress during reflow and mitigates soldering defects such as component lifts, particularly in larger volume productions. Additionally, this stage initiates active flux reaction within the solder paste, enhancing the wettability and surface energy of the soldering surface. This ensures effective wetting of the molten solder on the surface, a critical aspect of the soldering process. Therefore, precise control of soaking time and temperature is essential to ensure thorough cleaning of the soldering surface by the flux while preventing its complete consumption before reaching reflow. Retaining sufficient flux during reflow is imperative as it facilitates the solder wetting process and prevents reoxidation of the soldered surface.
3.The High-Temperature Zone
4.The Cooling Zone
Components of the Temperature Curve
Temperature Profile: The curve's trajectory, characterized by ramp-up rates, peak temperatures, and dwell times, dictates the soldering kinetics and final joint morphology.
Thermal Profile Controller: This critical component regulates the heating and cooling rates, ensuring adherence to the desired temperature curve and minimizing process variations.
Flux Activation: The temperature curve activates the flux within the solder paste, facilitating the removal of oxides and promoting solder wetting for strong intermetallic bonding.
Intermetallic Compound Formation: The high-temperature zone fosters the formation of intermetallic compounds, essential for enhancing solder joint reliability and mechanical strength.
Mastering Controlled Heating
Optimized Process Parameters: Fine-tuning ramp rates, peak temperatures, and dwell times in alignment with solder paste specifications and component requirements is essential for consistent solder joint quality.
Thermal Management: Effective thermal profiling and heat transfer mechanisms prevent thermal gradients, component overheating, and solder defects, ensuring uniform heating across the assembly.
Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of temperature profiles and solder joint characteristics enables prompt adjustments, preempting potential defects and optimizing process efficiency.
Innovative Technologies: Leveraging advanced reflow equipment, such as infrared and vapor phase systems, enhances temperature control and process stability, elevating soldering precision to new heights.

What Is the Purpose of Testing an LED Driver?
Basics of a Multimeter
Display: The display is where measurement readings are shown. It can be either digital or analog, depending on the type of multimeter. Digital multimeters have an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or LED (Light Emitting Diode) display that shows the measured values in digits. Analog multimeters have a scale and a moving pointer to indicate measurements.
Probes: Multimeters come with two probes, usually color-coded—red for positive and black for negative. These probes are used to make contact with the circuit being tested and are connected to the input jacks on the multimeter.
Current (Amps): Measures the flow of electrical charge in a circuit. Multimeters are usually equipped to measure both AC and DC current. To measure current, the multimeter needs to be inserted in series with the circuit.
Resistance (Ohms): Measures the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit. Multimeters can measure resistance up to a certain range.
Continuity: Tests whether a circuit is complete or broken. It typically produces a beep or a visual indication when the circuit is closed (low resistance) and remains silent or displays no continuity when the circuit is open (high resistance).
Diode Testing: Determines whether a diode is functional or faulty.
What Should You Do Before Testing Your LED Driver?
How to Test an LED Driver with a Multimeter?
Testing Continuity in Your LED Driver
Ensure that the multimeter's settings are set to continuity, which is typically represented by a sound wave or diode symbol. Once this is done, proceed to probe the terminals of the LED driver with the probes of your multimeter until consistent and firm contact is achieved.
As you touch the terminals, pay close attention to the multimeter. It will usually emit a beep if there is continuity, signifying that the circuit is closed. Conversely, if the beep does not appear, it is generally a sign that the LED driver is not working correctly, which could indicate that the driver might need to be examined or fixed more closely.
Measuring Output Voltage from Your LED Driver
To begin this assessment, start by configuring your multimeter. Set it to the DC voltage setting to accurately measure the electrical potential of the driver. Then, with precision, place the probes directly onto the driver's output terminals, ensuring good contact for an accurate reading.
Once you've obtained a measurement, it's crucial to compare it against the expected voltage, such as 12V or 24V, as indicated on the driver's label. Significant discrepancies between these values may indicate underlying issues or inefficiencies, necessitating further examination or corrective actions.
Measuring Output Current from Your LED Driver
Begin by configuring your multimeter to measure current. Instead of merely probing the LED, establish a connection through the multimeter to allow the flow of power. This enables you to accurately gauge the actual power passing through. If the reading obtained from your 'dimmable LED driver' or '12v dimmable LED driver' deviates from the expected value, it indicates a potential issue. This discrepancy may signal a faulty driver, necessitating closer inspection or even replacement.
Testing Input Voltage for Your LED Driver
Start by preparing your multimeter: if your LED driver operates on AC input, ensure the multimeter is set to measure AC voltage. With this setup complete, it's time to proceed. Utilize the multimeter probes to establish contact with the driver's input terminals, ensuring a secure connection. Upon obtaining a reading, it's vital to compare it against the expected input voltage.
Any deviation between your measured value and the expected input voltage could indicate a potential issue that may impact the driver's overall performance. Addressing this discrepancy promptly can save time and guarantee the smooth operation of your LED setup.
Checking for Short or Open Circuits
In diagnosing these issues, a multimeter proves indispensable. For detecting open circuits, a continuity test serves as the primary method; the absence of the expected beep can indicate a potential break in the circuit. Conversely, short circuits often manifest through indicators such as unusually high currents or abnormally low resistance readings on the multimeter. If any of these irregularities are observed, exercising caution is advisable.
While minor issues may be remedied with careful attention and skill, many circuit-related problems, given their complexity, necessitate professional assistance. In such cases, opting for professional repairs or replacements may prove to be more cost-effective and safer in ensuring the longevity and safety of your LED setup.

The properties of each sheet can be tailored according to the desired pattern size and degree of expansion applied. Despite variations in sheet size and thickness, the holes and surrounding strands maintain uniformity in both size and thickness.
Common applications of raised metal include fences, walkways, and grates, owing to its durability and strength. Its small apertures facilitate the passage of air, liquid, and light, acting as an effective strainer by allowing these elements to permeate while blocking larger objects.
Additionally, raised expanded metal finds standard usage in constructing lockers as walls and doors to partition areas within warehouses.
Pros and Cons
Moreover, the angled strands of raised expanded metal provide enhanced grip, making it skid-resistant and ideal for walkway applications. Originating from steel, raised expanded metal exhibits exceptional durability, ensuring longevity without the need for frequent repairs or replacements, potentially saving costs over a span of 40 years or more.
However, raised expanded metal may have some drawbacks. Its aesthetic appeal may not match that of flat expanded metal, and its heavier, denser composition could incur higher delivery costs.
Flat Expanded Metal
In comparison to raised expanded metal, flat expanded metal is thinner and flatter. It finds its most practical applications where abrasion resistance is less critical, and aesthetic appeal takes precedence. The removal of ridges reduces the weight of flat expanded metal in comparison to raised varieties, further enhancing its suitability for various applications. Additionally, its finished surface enhances its visual appeal.
Typical uses of flat expanded metal include fencing, enclosures for safety areas, and even walkways on billboards. It also serves well in crafting railings, gates, pathways, and grates.
Pros and Cons
Moreover, flat expanded metal features a distinctive finish that distinguishes it from raised expanded metal. If grip is less critical than appearance for your intended use of expanded metal, flat expanded metal may be the preferable choice.
Like raised expanded metal, flat expanded metal excels in allowing light, air, and water to pass through while serving as a barrier to larger objects. It boasts robust strength and durability, with corrosion resistance ensured by its stainless steel composition and protective coating against environmental elements.
However, there are some drawbacks to consider. In wet conditions, flat expanded metal may offer less traction if used as a walkway. Additionally, its flattened and stretched nature renders it less strong compared to raised expanded metal.
Ultimately, while flat expanded metal offers a sleek appearance and cost-effectiveness, it may not match the versatility of raised expanded metal in utilitarian applications.
Choosing the Right Expanded Metal for You
When deciding between raised and flattened expanded metal, it's essential to consider the intended use of the expanded metal mesh.
Raised expanded metal features a slightly rounded face, making it suitable for applications such as part-washing where there is a high demand for residue runoff.
On the other hand, flattened expanded metal offers a flatter surface, ideal for materials-handling applications. Its flat surface helps distribute weight evenly and prevents parts from sticking to the expanded metal grating.
With specialized manufacturing equipment, standard stainless steel expanded metal mesh ensures more consistent opening space on the metal sheet.
When precision is crucial, attention must be paid to factors like LWO (Long Way of Opening), SWO (Short Way of Opening), LWD (Long Way of Diamond), and SWD (Short Way of Diamond). Variations in these measurements may occur depending on the direction of the metal, introducing an element of variability that can make controlling the opening space more challenging.

What Is an Electrical Circuit?
The flow of electric current in a simple circuit can be described by Ohm's law, which states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance.
Components of Electric Circuit
- The power source is the origin of electrical energy within a circuit. It can take various forms, including batteries, generators, or mains electricity supplied by utility grids.
- The power source provides the electromotive force (EMF) necessary to drive the flow of electrons through the circuit.
- Conductive materials such as wires, cables, and printed circuit boards (PCBs) form the pathways for current flow within the circuit.
- These materials offer low resistance to electron movement, allowing for efficient transmission of electrical energy.
- The load represents the components or devices within the circuit that consume electrical energy to perform specific functions.
- Examples of loads include light bulbs, motors, resistors, and electronic gadgets, each tailored to convert electrical energy into other forms, such as light, motion, or heat.
How Do Electrical Circuits Work?

Conductor: Conductive materials, often copper wire, connect the power source to the electrical device.
Load: The electrical device, such as a light bulb or motor, acts as the "load" and utilizes the electrical energy to perform its intended function.
Circuit Completion: For the circuit to function, the conductor must form a complete loop, enabling the electric current to flow continuously from the power source, through the conductor, to the load, and back to the power source.
Resistance: Resistance, which measures the difficulty for current to flow, is inherent in both the conductor and the electrical device. It influences the amount of current flowing through the circuit.
Ohm's Law: The flow of current adheres to Ohm's law, stating that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
Switches: Switches are incorporated into circuits to regulate the flow of current, either turning it on/off or controlling its magnitude.
Electric circuits vary in complexity, ranging from simple setups with just a power source and a light bulb to intricate configurations with multiple components and loads. A solid grasp of electric circuit fundamentals is essential for individuals working with electricity or electronics, as it underpins numerous practical applications in technology and engineering.
