Hi, during these trying times of the pandemic, the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation Department realizes that choices can be limited in enhancing one's physical, social, and mental well-being. The Parks and Recreation staff have been involved in developing a number of videos in which citizens can participate in and enjoy in the privacy of their own home. These videos consist of arts and crafts, gardening, physical activity, and sports instruction, with many more to come as we work through this pandemic. The videos will be available to you on a number of our social media outlets. We hope you enjoy and thank you very much. This is Doug Elliott. I'm after the coordinator for the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation Department. In our series of videos provided to you for our quarantine time, in the name of Mayor Benjamin in our department, we hope that you are being safe, you are practicing social distancing, and you're able to stay healthy with your families indoors and quarantined. I want to show you a series of fitness videos or fitness drills that you can do in a very, very confined space, very limited equipment, maybe even only your body weight. I prefer this with making sure you consult your physician before you take up any exercise regimen if you haven't worked out for a long time. If you are someone who's a proficient in fitness, some of these drills may assist you as well. Understand everything that we do as far as drill and fitness, you want to take yourself to a four to six week maximum to see a difference. So again, if you haven't worked out and something you want to do, again, pick a day, any day, which could be right now, which is a preference. Don't say I'll start Monday, don't say I'll start Sunday after church. Pick right now at that time. Make sure you have the proper equipment, proper technique, pay close attention to my body placement. All right. So the first set I'm going to show you is that you can use with the chair, which is right out of my garage, or my old kitchen, but out of my garage. This is all you need. And a few, few weights. So we have a 220 pound dumbbells and we have two 10 pounds kettlebell weights as well. You don't need anything. I've shown my children how to do these workouts with water bottles. If you get those gallon jugs with the handles on them, they can do the same things as these dumbbells and these kettlebells. All right. So I'm going to go through a series of upper body workout and in a series of really quick series of lower body workout, it gives you a complete total body workout just from this chair and this equipment. All right. So the very first one I'm going to do is a inclined chest press. So again, understand that everything that I do is range of motion and maintaining a tightness of the muscles that I'm exercising. So you won't see me going through these full ranges of motion with any of these exercises. Everything's going to be compact. So I can maintain tension on all of my muscles. These exercises will only build lean muscle. So if your goal is to get really big and or really, really muscular, obviously these drills, these particular drills will not do that for you unless you add tremendous amounts of weight. Again, this is not the goal here. All right. So understand. All right. So in my chair, I'll take my 220s and I'll compress them together. I'll slide my, my rear inch towards the end of my chair and I want to lean back into my shoulders, touch the back of the chair. So again, I'm going to show you a side of you in a minute. The goal is to maintain a straight line from the top of my head to where my, my bottom meets the chair. So I don't want to sag in the middle and I don't want to arch my back in the back. All right. So the goal here is I want to lean back, keep it close and tight. And I want to do short presses at an angle. And I may have said this at the beginning. So the goal is to get a hundred. I call these the 100s. The goal is to get a hundred of them alternating days. So I want to do four sets of 25 of every exercise that I do. All right. So again, that builds lean muscle that gets your cardio going as well. So you don't have to do a lot of biking or running or walking or whatever you want to do. You can incorporate your cardio into this, this exercise as well. Muscle memory is also a big part of this. You want to put the muscle that you're working in your mind. You want to feel it contract. There's a difference between pain and discomfort. Be aware. All right. Now discomfort is something we can always manipulate ourselves. Pain may mean say that we need to stop doing what we're doing and seek other options. All right. So these things may put you in some discomfort, but as long as they're putting you in pain and you consulted your doctor, you should be okay. All right. So I want to show you a side angle of this as well. So you can see how your back should look in this exercise. So again, tail out. Weight pressed together.  This would be wrong. And an extreme arch also would be inappropriate. Straight line, tight, controlled range. And I should feel my pectorials. So you have primary muscle and secondary muscle that's been worked out in any fitness exercise. It doesn't matter what it is. You can do all the isolation you want. There's always a secondary or tertiary muscle being worked as well. My primary muscle for this exercise is my pectorial. I'm probably getting a secondary in my tricep and probably a tertiary in my shoulders here, but I want to concentrate on my pectorials on this exercise. So again, four sets of 25. All right. So after I do 25, I go to my next sequence in my upper body workout. I'll call hammer curls. Again, I slide it into my chair. I take my 20s and what I want to do is concentrate on my elbows staying back. A lot of times you'll see people doing exercises and they're doing, and they do a curl and they'll do all this, but I can't tell you how many deltoids, shoulder, probably tricep, probably some, obviously some bicep when, when somebody's doing this full range of motion here for your hammer curl. You want to have your elbow back and usually want to do a short range of motion. My elbow, my elbow should stay in the same place. I don't want to come up at a short distance. All right. So with both weights, this is how it should look from head on. Weight to the side, elbows back, and I'm doing hammer curls. So again, they call them hammer curls, but this is, this emulates a hammer look. All right. Concentrate on your breathing.  This can be a core exercise as well. Anything you should incorporate your core. All right. So I want to do one set of 25 here after my 25 of my incline bench. From here, I want to go to my forearm wrist curls.  This is every muscle in my upper body. I'll come here like I'm doing an isolation curl. Now a 20 may or may or may not be too much. May not be enough. Please, uh, tailor these exercises towards your knees, but I want to do a wrist curl here. So this is working my forearm in the front and in the back. All right. So I want to do probably 25 of these on each hand. All right. So once I do 25 here, I'll place my weight down and another thing. That's precaution.  Always put weight down, have them pick up their own weight. If it's too much for them to pick up, then go to something else. Again, go to the water bottles and go back to the, to the body weight exercises. All right. And I'll switch hands and I'll do the same thing. Arm at a 90 degree angle doing forearm curls. All right. So what I'll do is I'll do four sets of 25 of those. I'll go back to my incline bench, 25, hammer curls, 25, wrist curls, 25 until I get to a hundred. All right. That is normally my first session of my full body workout. My second session. So now I told you I wanted to do a full body. Now I'm going to exercise on my, my, my three heads of my shoulder makeup.  All right. So with these same twenties, very short range of motion. I'll start here on my thighs. I'm slid to the end of my chair and I want to do a short range of motion. So I want to go about right here and about right back to my thigh. Do not let the weight rest on your legs. Again, the goal is to understand that tension is what builds the lean muscle. Constant tension. And I never take tension off of my muscle. All right. So from here, I'll raise slightly and I'll go down. Controlling up and down. So the same space, time it takes to go up. It should be the same time it takes to go down. So you should not be doing this, letting it drop out of control. I want to control it up, control it down. Posture in my back should be straight up and down. Again, not, not hunched over and not a big arch raises to about shoulder width height. All right. From here, I'll stand and I'll do a set of curls. The goal here again is for my, for my bicep. So the hammer curls work the long hand of your bicep, your regular curls accentuate the short head. And from here, you can alternate or you can do them all the same time. I like alternating and I normally do 50 of these. So I can get 25 on each arm. So I'll be here, the inside head of the, uh, the weight is on my thigh. And from here, I just want to curl right to my midsection. All right. So again, this is, this is not the move hunched over everything else in my body. Trying to get this weight up if it's too heavy. All right. I want to be stationary here, controlling the weight. Only thing that should be moving and working is my bicep. All right. Feet shoulder width apart in a stable stance. All right. I'll do 50 of those to get 25 on each arm and I quickly move to my dips. So seats, my, my bottom is still into the edge of the chair. My feet are extended toes pointed straight up in the air. Hands right by my hips. All right. So it's important to understand the position of your hands to the working of the horseshoe or the two heads of your tricep. I like doing at an angle that gives me full tricep extension. Understand, I don't want to do dips all the way down to the ground. That becomes more of a shoulder deltoid exercise. And it also puts too much strain on that, on that muscle and could cause the injury. So again, understand short range of motion, constant tension. So I'll slide out, toes up, slight bend in my knee. And that's as far as I want to go down, maybe four or five inches. I have constant tension on my tricep. All right. That's how that looks from the front, from the side. Same concept out here, down. I'm not going all the way down here because that puts too much pressure on my, on my shoulder complex. I want to do about right here, controlling, up and down. All right. I'll do three sets of 25 of those. So now those are my two routines I do for my upper body exercise. I've touched on my pectoral, my shoulder, my tricep, my forearm and my bicep. All right. Now I'm going to show you my two routines I do for my lower body with the same weight, same chair, same routine. All right. Let me, I want to show you my calf raises first and understand if you don't have a step like this, which is fine. I use the bottom step of my chair in my home, of my steps in my home. All right. So this is just for demonstration only. Now I do two versions of my calf raise. I do a heavier one with both weights. Then, and what you got. So the reason I do that is because you understand this is a fast twitch muscle your calves are.  You can do all the protein or the heavy lifting you want to if genetically your calves are going to be a certain size, that'll be the case. So I do do two different versions. This is called a mule carry calf raise. The idea is to put the balls of your feet on the edge of your step.  What this does is it helps you flex your ankle. That's the only purpose of your calf is to flex your ankle. You think you get athletes think that your calves help you jump higher. They ate in it. Right. But there's a chain reaction from calf to hip, I mean, from calf to thigh to hip to motion that helps people jump really high. I think people with no calves can jump out of the gym. I think people with humongous calves and can't jump to it. All right. So understand my feet should be shoulder width apart. I hold my weight right here on my, on my, my knees and I'm bent over and they call them a mule because normally you do these exercises with somebody sitting on your back. All right. But we don't have that option. So from here, I just want to flex them up, up, down, up, down. I'll get 25 of those. I'll get 25 of those. So again, muscle memory, I want to have my calves in my mind. I want to see those calves exercising and pushing. So if you saw my motion, nothing else is moving but my ankles. The muscle that was working are my calves. All right. So I start off with 25 of those. I'll come back same weight or no weight and I do seated squats. All right. Here you must understand your feet should be slightly wider than shoulder width apart. No one jumps with their feet here if you're an athlete in any sport.  Baseball, football. You don't throw a football with your feet here. Right. So you want to make sure your feet are shoulder width apart from here. I bring the weight to this point and I almost want to stand straight up. So I don't want to do this. All right.  I want to be to get here and I want to go for about four or five inches. Come right back down. Down. Up. Again, these are probably the largest muscles in your body or your quadricep makeup. All right. They are some are considered fast twitch. Most of them are considered to be again your largest muscle. You want to work them that way.   Side view of this. Up. 25 of those. So once I do my calf raises, I do my squats. All right. I have another exercise I call good morning. Good morning.  So I know I said on my upper body workout, I do a complete upper body workout. A lot of this is for my back is safe for my lower body workout. Feet shoulder width apart, weight in the middle. So these are called straight leg Roman dead lifts. There are many versions of them, but I like to do the straight leg. So from here, feet a little bit wider shoulder width apart. I want to make sure my back is straight, slight bend in my knees, not complete. Slight bend knee, grab my weight. And from here, I just want to come straight up. I want to hinge at my hip. Up. Down. Straight line from the back of my head to the bottom of my vertebra. All right. A side view of this. Again, my back should be straight. And if you see, I try to put my weight as far back in between my legs as I can. That's the pull I want. I try to extend them back there. All right. That's going to give me that full range of motion from my quadriceps to my lower back. All right. Those are the first sets of my lower body workout. My next set, I told you I take a weight. I reduce it sometimes. And my rail that's on my stairs going upstairs. I do a full standing calf raise. With the weight, these are a little bit faster. Like I told you, these are fast twitch muscles. So I want to train them in that manner as well. So as I hold the weight in the middle, same concept. Balls on the edge of the step. And I'm going just a little bit faster. Still contracting my calves, only moving my ankles. All right. I want to get 25 of those. Now you may or may not be able to do this. It depends if you have a kettlebell like this or the normal kettlebell with the big round opening in them. And I really just started doing these maybe a couple of weeks ago as I was playing with the weight sitting down with my next exercise. I just kind of slid my feet in between them. And I realized I could do a leg extension with them. So from here, if you can, this is just an option. If you can slide your toes in between your kettlebell. Slide your torso, your buttocks all the way back to the back of the chair. Sit back. You may not get a full range of motion, but you get at least probably 80% of that range of motion you'll get in your quadriceps or leg extensions. Control the weight up and down. Don't let it hit down on the ground or on the carpet or on your mom or dad's hardwood floor or in the garage where it may chip to concrete. Control up and down. And I'll get 25 of those alternating until I get to my 100. My last lower body exercise for these with the weights I do on the floor. These are called bridges. You can do them with weight or without, but you will feel it. So with the weight, I'll lay on my back. I try to bring my ankles a little bit outside of my thigh area. Try to bring them back as far as I can. If you do it with the weight, have the weight sitting right here in control. Don't let it sit on your stomach. Have it controlled about a quarter way down your thigh. From this position, I want to be flat and I just want to extend up. These are called bridges. Up, down. In this exercise, do not let your bottom rest on the floor. You want to make constant tension on your hamstrings. Up, down, up, down. 25. All right. So if you ask about my ab work, again, I'm contracting my abs on every exercise. So for those 25, I'm getting another 25. Some form of contraction. Do not be fooled. I think you got to do a thousand push-ups. Or, I mean, I'm sorry, a thousand sit-ups in error or a thousand crunches. That's what's going to give you your abdominal setup. There's a combination of the three, and I'm starting me in this beginning. It's your sleep, your eat, and your exercise. You cannot negate one of them and only do two to see results. You can't do one of them, lift weights, don't eat right, and get three hours sleep at night. Think you ought to see results. You must, you must be determined to control all three of them for an extended period of time. So you can't say after four days or this is not working. I don't see any results. All right. Four to six weeks to where you see results. So again, I don't do the normal sit-up. For one, people hold that when they clench their hands behind their head, they shouldn't do that. Because that puts an undue strain on your neck. I do a bicycle kick with my hand hovering by my ears. So in this position, hands hovering by my ears, my shoulder blades, the bottom of my shoulder blades, don't even touch the ground. So my shoulders are slightly off the ground. From here, I want to be able to alternate. Both feet stay off the ground. So I'm not resting one and picking one up at a time. Both feet off the ground as I alternate left, right. And I normally get about 40 of these, four sets of 40 of those. My other ab exercise is when I do my upper body workout. After I do my curls, I'll do a version of a Roman twist. So from here, if you can, I'll show you the side of you in a minute. From here, you just want to kind of roll your shoulders. I don't know if you can see it from there, but my torso is not turning. If you do this at a certain speed and you won't be able to see it or you won't know it, only the person doing it, your abs are contracting. Because the only thing that's pushing my weight forward and my shoulders forward are my abs. The only thing that's stopping the weight from going forward are my abs. These are obliques. You have an upper ab section and a lower. This works oblique and upper ab. So a side view of this will be here and here. Real quickly, I want to run through an exercise, a circuit with no weight. All right. This is more cardio. You can add more cardio to this one, but you don't have any weight. You don't need any equipment for any of these exercises. All right. You may use a chair for your dips, but that'll be the only thing. All right. So what you want to do is come up with about, maybe start off, maybe four or five of these exercises. In between each one, incorporate either an in out. This is an in out. You do here, then you do here. Here, here. All right. So now these are timed. That's where the tension comes. So you want to start off maybe 20 seconds, graduate 25 seconds, 30 seconds. When you get to a minute and you do all the exercises without stopping. All right. So if my time is 30 seconds, I'm doing in and out, jumping jacks, 30 seconds. Don't stop. All right. Once I stop, I immediately go to push-ups. 30 seconds of push-ups. Doesn't matter how many I can get. I just need to do them for 30 seconds. Now in between that time, if I need a rest, take a quick five, two, three second rest, then get back. When your time is up, you should be finishing your exercise. Push-ups, 30 seconds, 30 seconds, in and out. Back to my in and out. Alternation, in and out. All right. So once I do an upper body exercise, I do a lower. These are a little more deeper squat, wider stance. Imagine holding kettlebell here and I'm doing 30 seconds of body squat. Up down, up down. Into my chair, straight up and there. Up down, up down, up down. 30 seconds, not a number. 30 seconds of squats, 30 seconds of in and out. Or you're going to incorporate a jump rope. 30 seconds of jump rope. I didn't bring one, I should have. But 30 seconds of jump rope. All right. Once you do that, 30 seconds of dips if you have the chair. Back to our normal dips. No weight, 30 seconds, limited range of motion. 30 seconds of dips. Back to 30 seconds and out. So you're incorporating cardio in between every exercise. All right. So I did dips as an upper body. I'm going to do an ab workout. Do some mountain climbers. Straight body. You want to get touches here and here. 30 seconds. 30 seconds of mountain climbers. 30 seconds and out. 30 seconds of lunges. Stationary lunges. So I don't have to, I don't have to need a garage. I need a short space. Step out, drive down, come back. Alternate left, right. 30 seconds. All right. 30 seconds of in and out. 30 seconds of jump rope. I'm going to go back to maybe 30 seconds of my ab workout. I'm going to do 30 seconds of bicycle kicks. 30 seconds. Back up. 30 seconds. In and out. All right. 30 seconds of standing calf raise.  Hold at the top for a half second. Half second hold at the top. Half second hold at the top. Half second. And that's it. Then go back to 30 seconds of in out for your cardio or jump rope. Normally if you're starting out 20 seconds, two sets. As you add time, add six. Excuse me. As you add more time, maybe add a weight. Add a kettlebell to your dips or to your push-up, which you can do or to your mountain climbers or to your squats or to your lunges or to your calvaries. All right. I know this was pretty quick. I just want to give you some ideas of some exercise you can do in a confined space. Very limited if none at all equipment. That's it to your disposal. All right. Thank you very much.


Good morning friends, I am Purva and today we will work out the following question. A fruit grower can use two types of fertilizer in his garden, Brand P and Brand Q. The amounts of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potassium, chlorine in a bag of each brand are given in the table. Tests indicate that the garden needs at least 240 kilograms of phosphoric acid, at least 270 kilograms of potassium and at most 310 kilograms of chlorine. If the grower wants to minimize the amount of nitrogen added to the garden, how many? Bags of each brand should be used. What is the minimum amount of nitrogen added in the garden? And this is the table given to us. Let us begin with the solution now. Now we shall first formulate the linear programming problem according to the given conditions and then solve it. Now in the question we have, if the grower wants to minimize the amount of nitrogen added to the garden, how many bags of each brand should be used? So, let the number of bags of Brand P fertilizer, BX and number of bags of Brand Q fertilizer be Y. Now we are given the following table showing the amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potassium and chlorine in a bag of each brand. We are also given that the garden needs at least 240 kilograms of phosphoric acid, at least 270 kilograms of potassium and at most 310 kilograms of chlorine. Therefore, according to the given conditions, we have the following inequalities. Now from this table we can clearly see that Brand P contains 3 kilograms of nitrogen, 1 kilogram of phosphoric acid, 3 kilograms of potassium and 1.5 kilograms of chlorine per bag. And Brand Q contains 3.5 kilograms of nitrogen, 2 kilograms of phosphoric acid, 1.5 kilograms of potassium and 2 kilograms of chlorine per bag. Now we have the number of bags of Brand P fertilizer is X and each bag contains 1 kilogram of phosphoric acid so X bags will contain X kilograms of phosphoric acid and number of bags of Brand Q fertilizer is Y and each bag contains 2 kilograms of phosphoric acid so Y bags will contain 2 into Y kilograms of phosphoric acid. So we get the total amount of phosphoric acid as X plus 2Y and this should be greater than equal to 240 because we are given that the garden needs at least 240 kilograms of phosphoric acid. So this is a constraint for phosphoric acid. Now again number of bags of Brand P fertilizer is X and each bag contains 3 kilograms of potash so X bags will contain 3 into X kilograms of potash and number of bags of Brand Q fertilizer is Y and each bag contains 1.5 kilograms of potash so Y bags will contain 1.5 into Y kilograms of potash. So the total amount is 3X plus 1.5Y and this is greater than equal to 270 because we are given that the garden needs at least 270 kilograms of potash. Now this implies 2X plus Y is greater than equal to 180 so this is a constraint for potash. Now again number of bags of Brand P fertilizer is X and each bag contains 1.5 kilograms of chlorine so X bags will contain 1.5 into X kilograms of chlorine and number of bags of Brand Q fertilizer is Y and each bag contains 2 kilograms of chlorine so Y bags will contain 2 into Y kilograms of chlorine. So we get the total amount as 1.5X plus 2Y and this is less than equal to 310 because we are given that the garden needs at most 310 kilograms of chlorine. Now this implies 3X plus 4Y is less than equal to 620 so this is a constraint for chlorine. Also we have X greater than equal to 0 and Y greater than equal to 0 as the number of bags of fertilizer used is greater than equal to 0. Now as the amount of nitrogen in the bags of Brand P and Brand Q fertilizer is 3 kilograms and 3.5 kilograms per bag respectively and it is to be minimized. Therefore we get the objective function as Z is equal to 3X plus 3.5Y. Now number of bags of Brand P fertilizer is X and each bag contains 3 kilograms of nitrogen so X bags will contain 3X kilograms of nitrogen and number of bags of Brand Q fertilizer is Y and each bag contains 3.5 kilograms of nitrogen so Y bags will contain 3.5 into Y kilograms of nitrogen. So the total amount is 3X plus 3.5Y and therefore we get the objective function as Z is equal to 3X plus 3.5Y. Thus the linear programming problem becomes minimize Z is equal to 3X plus 3.5Y subject to the constraints X plus 2Y greater than equal to 240, 2X plus Y greater than equal to 180, 3X plus 4Y less than equal to 620, X greater than equal to 0 and Y greater than equal to 0. Now the first inequality is X plus 2Y greater than equal to 240 and the line corresponding to this inequality is X plus 2Y equal to 240 and the points 0, 120 and 240, lie on this line so for drawing the graph and finding the feasible region subject to the given constraints we shall first draw the line representing the equation X plus 2Y equal to 240 corresponding to the inequality X plus 2Y greater than equal to 240 on the graph by plotting the points 0, 120 and 240, 0 and then joining them. So we have plotted the points 0, 120 and 240, 0 on the graph joined them and we have named the line as AB. This line AB divides the plane into two half planes, we shall take the half plane that satisfies X plus 2Y greater than 240 that is the portion of the graph about this line AB along with the line AB in the feasible region for this inequality.  So now we shall represent 2X plus Y greater than equal to 180 graphically by drawing the line 2X plus Y equal to 180 by plotting the points 0, 180 and 90, 0 satisfying the equation and then joining them. So we have plotted the points 0, 180 and 90, 0 on the graph joined them and we have named the line as CD. This line CD divides the plane into two half planes, we shall take the half plane that satisfies 2X plus Y greater than 180 that is the portion of the graph to the right-hand side of this line CD along with the line CD in the feasible region for this inequality. Now the third inequality is 3X plus 4Y less than equal to 620 and the line corresponding to this inequality is 3X plus 4Y equal to 620 and the points 0, 155 and 620 upon 3, 0 lie on this line. So now we shall represent 3X plus 4Y less than equal to 620 graphically by drawing the line 3X plus 4Y equal to 620 by plotting the points 0, 155 and 620 upon 3, 0 satisfying the equation and then joining them. So we have plotted the points 0, 155 and 620 upon 3, 0 on the same graph joined them and we have named the line as EF. This line EF divides the plane into two half planes, we shall take the half plane satisfying 3X plus 4Y less than 620 that is the portion of the graph below this line EF along with the line EF in the feasible region for this inequality. Also we have X greater than equal to 0 and Y greater than equal to 0 which implies that the graph lies in the first quadrant only. The lines A, B, CD and EF intersect at the points L, M and N. Thus the shaded portion in the graph is the feasible region satisfying all the given constraints. Here the feasible region is triangle L, M and N with coordinates of vertices as 21, 40, 40, 100 and 140, 50. So according to the corner point method which states that the maximum or minimum value of a linear objective function over a convex polygon occurs at some vertex of the polygon, minimum value of Z will occur at any of the above points. Therefore we will calculate the value of Z is equal to 3X plus 3.5Y at these points. Now Z is equal to 3 into 20 plus 3.5 into 140 at 2140 and this comes out to be equal to 550. Z is equal to 3 into 40 plus 3.5 into 100 at 400 and this comes out to be equal to 470. And Z is equal to 3 into 140 plus 3.5 into 50 at 14050 and this comes out to be equal to 595. Hence the minimum value of Z out of these three values is 470 which occurs at 400 or we can say amount of nitrogen is minimum when X is equal to 40 and Y is equal to 100. Thus minimum amount of nitrogen is 470 kilograms when 40 bags of brand P and 100 bags of brand Q are used. Thus we write our answer as 40 bags of brand P and 100 bags of brand Q and minimum amount of nitrogen is equal to 470 kilograms. This is our answer. Hope you have understood the solution. Bye and take care.


This is learning in hand. I'm Tony Vincent, and this is the show where I share tips, how-tos, and ideas for using today's digital tools for teaching and learning. Episode 27, sorting, labeling, and matching games recorded April 2014, happens now. I'm excited to tell you about the iPad app, Stick Around. I've been using apps for teaching and learning for a long time, and I think Stick Around is fantastic. And I should, because I co-created it. I worked with Morris Cook, the design studio behind the awesome Explain Everything whiteboarding and screencasting app. If you're familiar with Explain Everything, you'll feel right at home in Stick Around. The idea behind Stick Around is simple. Players move stickers onto the correct spots on a background. The thing is, you not only use Stick Around to play these sticker puzzles, but you use it to create them as well. Let me show you sample puzzles. Afterwards, I'll tell you about creating your very own. When you begin a puzzle, you are presented with the information screen. This might have directions, audio, an image, and or an Explain Everything tutorial. There can even be a web link that will open a web page right inside of Stick Around's browser. Begin the puzzle by clicking Start. You can see the sticker tray on the right. Pull out the tray to see the stickers. You can always slide it back in to move it out of the way. Your goal is to drag each sticker from the tray onto the background where it belongs. Some puzzles might have blanks, boxes, or question marks to indicate where to place stickers. This puzzle requires you to just place the sticker somewhere on or very near the meaning of the word. When you think you have the stickers in the right spots, click the Check button. If not all stickers are correctly placed, you'll see a message and have the chance to continue working on the puzzle. If you check and everything is correct, you'll see the award screen where you have the chance to view the completed puzzle. If you enter your name and choose Save to Camera Roll, a screenshot of your completed puzzle will be saved. The screenshot will have stamped at the bottom your name, number of attempts, that's how many times you click the Check button, date, and how long it took if the puzzle had the timer turned on. Hey, check this out. Stickers can have arrows. These are handy for labeling puzzles like placing measurements on a ruler or labeling parts of a cell. In addition to arrows, stickers can have notes. Clicking the Info button reveals any comments. This sticker has a comment and it has a web link. By clicking the Link button, you will open StickerRound's web browser. Click Done to return to your puzzle. Stickers don't have to be text. They can be images or drawings. This puzzle stickers are all images. And do you see that little triangle on each sticker? Those are play buttons. Stickers can have recorded audio.  Notebook. This puzzle is about matching homophones. You can click to watch a cute YouTube video before starting the puzzle. Homophone monkey sits in a tree, thinking of tricks to play on me is homophone. The stickers are all clip art and each one has a play button so you can hear the word used in a sentence. I ran around the track eight times. I can barely breathe. Please leave all of your candy here. There are limitless possibilities for puzzles. Here are some puzzle ideas. Playing puzzles is great, but making them is even better.  There are five steps to creating a Sticker Round project. First, design a background using drawing and import tools. Second, add stickers that can be text, images, or drawings. Third, make an answer key by indicating where stickers belong on the background. Next, enter information like the puzzle's name, an audio description, author, web link, topic, etc. Fifth, test your puzzle by playing it and making refinements.  If you want more detailed directions for creating projects, I have recorded a series of video tutorials that you can access within the app or at stickaround.info. There's also a user guide that is helpful. In the videos and the user guide, you can also learn to use lots of other Sticker Round features, including how to link it with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Webdab accounts. The process of making your puzzle is powerful. In fact, by the time a student makes a puzzle, he or she probably doesn't need to play it to study. They've most likely already mastered the content. They have the added bonus of having an end product that they can share with others. Puzzles can be shared to other iPads that have Sticker Round installed. Sharing can be done through email, Dropbox, Google Drive links, and other apps that can copy and share files through the open-in feature. Brent Catlett in Bellevue Public Schools in Nebraska has set up a Google Drive folder that teachers across his district use to share the best puzzles from their classrooms. Josh Allen, also in Nebraska, has set up a wiki for sharing puzzles. And I encourage anyone sharing puzzles on Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus to use the hashtag Sticker Round app so that others can find them. Find links to all of this at learninginhand.com slash 27. It took our team over a year to develop Sticker Round and we continue to make improvements. I'm really proud of the app and I am thrilled that students all over the world are learning by creating Sticker Puzzles. That's it for episode 27. Until next time, check out my website at learninginhand.com and like Learning in Hand on Facebook. Thanks for watching.


Right welcome back. Thank you so much for staying with us.  Including several married women and young girls claiming that the Holy Spirit told him to have Sex with them has been erect arrested for sexual abuse The pastor claims to be obeying prophetic and spiritual injunction to do the will of God Which is to impregnate anyone chosen and revealed by the Holy Spirit Irrespective of whether the woman is married or not said Amarazu police Police spokesman of Inugu estates when the woman is delivered by the baby the child remains in the ministry with a mother for life He added.

That is wrong God says he'll judge the pastors but in this case what I can say for him to have a position Passage in society pastors are respected. He took advantage of that took advantage of the ignorance of women Who've come to the church to seek help Mm-hmm Like They say fire ban them fire ban them All of them You know a lot of people are doing a lot of things in the name of God, you know like so we can't say okay First of all, it's written do not like judge. Yes, my oh There's another verse we said touch north the anointed. Yes, you don't know who is anointed who's not so just don't judge But there are some things you just use your common sense But But like I said Okay That's another story we talked about in last week is our guy who claims he's Jesus He's been arrested Exactly but it's something that is that is ongoing with the current financial and economic crisis global global wider Rather, whatever You're running to church to Christ Yeah All right, so someone once told me like people who go to the club and people who go to church they are both sick people go to You know like fine Like okay people go to church for various reasons most people go to church cause they're like they need peace So some find it in church some find it in clubs usually and people have ways of dealing with their issues So there you know while you're making charge What do you have to say about that? Honestly, there is okay a first one to okay I don't want to seem to support half a loon this one, but there's something I just want to make clear that There's there's a very big problem and I'm not sounding also the same time not Gender biased, but there's something very wrong with the ladies on this one There's there's something I don't know if it's the fact that they're soft-hearted or something But they tend to believe easily and these pastors they take advantage of that fact look at all the congregations right now every church Where do you find women most? They're in church They are in this in all these church groups leading many things in church and it's they're easily Taken away by the fact that it's religious the pastor says they even get to a point They call pastors and bishops dads, you know, it's okay, but there's there's something Something that needs to be looked at in a And this is why we say even when you're praying and you're asking God to like guide you through it I ask for with wisdom because at this point you need to be very Very wise because our to and I think the Bible says that there is going to be a time where we'll have fake prophets We don't know how to be safer who is fake and who's not yeah, it's about us praying for that wisdom to know where we're going and asking Religion yeah, there's a quote that I saw going around sometime two weeks ago Africa whoever brought religion like just a bit louder. He was a bit soft Yeah, so The person who brought religion to Africa a little coser as a whole Just because we Africans to kill at our kid who it's either we take and misuse it So this is it.

In this presentation, we will take a look at the objectives of our practice problem. Let's get into it within to its QuickBooks Online. Here we are in our not-for-profit company or not-for-profit organization dashboard. Note that we may have more appropriately named it not-for-profit organization because that's the typical kind of generic name that you'll see more often. But this is just going to be the generic name of the company obviously in practice. It would actually be the company or organization name here. In the first section of the course, we're going to do some navigation through the course and I'm actually going to be looking at the practice problem file which will be a completed work. So this will be the completed work that I'm looking at when we look at reports. In other words, we'll look at the reports for the completed work. If you're following along and starting a new company file, then of course you will have no data yet in your company file. We will be creating this as we go. But our goal here is to get an end point, see where we're headed towards and then we'll start the new company file from scratch and simply enter the data as we go and then generate this information. The course will start off with some basic kind of navigations through the QuickBooks Online software. We're going to take a look at some of the cycles to navigate through the QuickBooks Online software. Note that when you think about QuickBooks Online, you're typically thinking about a for-profit type of organization or even if you're thinking about accounting in general. We typically think of a for-profit organization first because that's going to be the general rule and then adopt it basically to a not-for-profit organization. So in other words, you really want to think about accounting, what's going to be the accounting general rules and then kind of one of the things that we need to adjust for the not-for-profit organization because of the nature of the not-for-profit organization. There's going to be some unique challenges with relation to the not-for-profit and some challenges with regards to the reporting of a not-for-profit which will differ from a for-profit type of organization. In order to see those challenges and be able to lay them out and then figure out how we're going to deal with them within QuickBooks Online and understand how that process works, we will actually look at an Excel worksheet. So we'll be working through an Excel worksheet problem in a step-by-step process very quickly, very simply in a step-by-step process. I know this worksheet's a little bit overwhelming that I jump into this worksheet here. Our objective is to use Excel as more of a transparent tool that we can actually see how everything is going to be connected, more like doing this by hand. And then go to QuickBooks, which is going to be a database program, which you can't really see what happens in the in-between. We fill out a data input form, populate so then the financial statements and you got to basically kind of understand what is happening in the between steps. So what we'll do then is take a look at journal entry by journal entry. We'll take a look at a transaction, consider what it would be in terms of the accounts that would be affected, the journal entry that would be affected, and then we'll actually post that journal entry to a trial balance in terms of an Excel worksheet. Then we'll go and jump back over to QuickBooks and we'll think about the data input form, which will typically be some kind of form such as this, like a check form or an expense form or an invoice form or a sales receipt, typical forms that we will be using and think about how those forms then basically do the same thing, enter a journal entry into the system and then we will consider the financial statements. Now some of the challenges also we'll be dealing with the fact that we have in terms of the financial statements, we can consider if I go down to the statement of activities, this is kind of like the income statement. Then one challenge we have is of course the names a little bit different. That's not too difficult for us to deal with within QuickBooks Online. Income statement, we could change to a statement of activities, but we also have this kind of breakout that we have to deal with with a not-for-profit organization between the items that are going to be with donor restrictions and without donor restrictions. So are there restricted items that is involved with our not-for-profit organization? If there are, then we have to list those out. Now note here in the statement of activities the typical way we do that is with two columns. And if you think about like a normal trial balance where you're just recording things to two accounts, you don't typically have that two column setup, you just got a list of accounts. So how then are we going to going to take a typical kind of trial balance situation and be able to create a report that's kind of like an income statement, but it's going to be breaking out between with donor restrictions and without donor restrictions. That's one of the challenges for a not-for-profit organization. What we will do is we'll take a look at classes to help us break that information out. That's going to be the tool that we will use. And then within these categories, we could have further breakouts, further information, for example with regards to the items without restrictions. We also then want to see those items in terms of what they're going to be used for, at least with the expenses is going to be a requirement. And that means that with regards to expenses, we want to see expenses by basically their nature. And that's what you actually normally would put them into a for-profit organization for, like the rent, the salaries, expense, telephone and so on and so forth. That's the nature of the expense. We also want to see what they're used for, their function. So we also have to group that information by such as their programs, program, in our case being education and community service, and things like the management and general and fundraising. So we want to be able to allocate the expenses in that format as well. And note what our goal here is. Oftentimes when you're looking at the board of directors, our goal is to take all this information and one put it in such a way that we fulfill the requirements for a not-for-profit organization in terms of reporting purposes, but two also give this information, which is a little bit more overwhelming in some ways than even a normal financial statement information and give it to say like a board of directors so that they can make a decision making process in on it and therefore give this information and maybe chunks, right? We can put all this into one form, which means all this into one form with the statement of activities. But if we were to do that, it might be a little bit overwhelming. So typically we're going to make the statement of activities in some type of format that's more digestible and can make decision making matters can be made on it a little bit more easily. Then we're looking to break out the more information that we would need such as another schedule like this that would break out the expenses by both nature and by function. Also note that when you're thinking about a not-for-profit organization, one of the things people are going to be considering is of the expenses we have, how much of those expenses are going to the actual thing that the not-for-profit supposed to be doing, which is going to be the programs versus the admin and the fundraising. That can help you to see how efficient the program is at doing the task that they're trying to do. So that's one of the reasons that you need to break that information out in a not-for-profit. When you're talking about a for-profit organization, it's straightforward. All the expenses have the objective, we're assuming, of profits and that's why all the expenses are there. I don't need to break out the programs in this way when really the one objective is profit, of course. And so you have a little bit different of an objective with regards to the financial statements and therefore the formatting of the financial statements will be broken out in a bit different fashion. So we have these items here. Again, we're gonna use class tracking to help to do this, help to add this basically dimension into the practice problem. You can see if we did this in Excel, as we will do, we have a practice problem at the bottom of the course where you can actually work through this entire worksheet step-by-step in Excel. We won't do that as we go through the course because we're focused on QuickBooks, but we'll jump back to this Excel worksheet so you can look at it. Obviously, if you did it in Excel, you'd have to be working on two different schedules. I gotta make one schedule and then make another schedule from it. If you do it in QuickBooks, our objective is to say, okay, I wanna enter something in so the form will automatically, the form will automatically create our trial balance, create our normal type of financial statements, income statement balance sheet, or their equivalents, and then help us to make the adjusted financial statements, including the statement of activities breaking out by column as well as our information in terms of the expenses breaking them out as well. We also have the information that's gonna be restricted down here. So we have restricted items, and these are items that have some type of restrictions, some type of donor restriction on it. And again, we might want to track those restricted items and be able to line them up item by item. And we're gonna use either the jobs feature and or classes feature to do that as well. So you can see we have these kind of added dimensions with regards to the not-for-profit organization. And our objective is to use the tools within QuickBooks Online. That includes some tools that we don't always use. You don't always see for a for-profit organization, including the class tracking feature, as well as possibly the jobs tracking type of feature as well. So that's gonna be kind of our general objective here. In future presentations, we'll go into this objective in a bit more detail and we'll concentrate on the navigation and getting around the QuickBooks Online file. And then we'll go into the actual construction of basically this information within QuickBooks. We'll go through the transactions in a step-by-step process of actually entering this information, not by journal entry as we do in Excel, but in QuickBooks using our forms. And then we'll jump back to the Excel worksheet to see what is happening in a more transparent way. We'll take a look at the accounts that will be affected, the effect on the financial statements. That's gonna be it for now. Let's get out of here.


We wanted to know what results-based approaches to aid the social sectors are doing and they asked participants at this Recom results meeting in Stockholm the questions. Well, I think they're terribly important because it shows you what the outcome is of the money that is spent. The downside of it is when it becomes an accountability to the donors rather than to the recipients. And so the downside can be used to really ill effect when it's a superimposition of results over which there's no ownership. And so my worry today for instance in education is where we've moved from the MDGs on enrollment of primary education to quality is that rather than supporting for instance the learning achievement that needs to be studied within the country it will superimpose learning achievement tests and the companies that are selling them from the industrialized countries on the poor examinations branches of many ministries of education in developing countries. In our eagerness to show this connection between aid and impact sometimes we focus too much on things which can be easily measured and there are some indicators for some of these things like you know some of the corruption indicators and things like that become very popular but unfortunately I think while that is all very useful it doesn't tell us you know some of the story which is actually there is a lot of other factors which we have not measured we have not taken into account. Therefore I think we need that kind of a caution and we want to understand a bit more in terms of why where it has worked where it has you know impacted even after measuring all these factors what other things which we have not thought about might have contributed. One result that's kept coming up and up again is that you have to talk to people in the country work with people in the country get their buying get learn to know what they need what will work talk to the mothers talk to the children find out what will work in each context and it's different in each context. Well I think it's always good to be focused on what you're trying to achieve. There is you know the well-known success indicator problem but if you focus too much on one particular thing you take the eye off the ball in other areas. I mean education would be one example of where a lot of attention has been placed on enrolments particularly enrolment rates in primary school but not enough attention has been given to quality so it's all very well having children going to primary school but they've got to learn something and be able to read and write properly when they come out. I think it's a very difficult question in one sense we actually do need to know the results of these programs and what they can do but I think there's an over emphasis on it and people are becoming more short term oriented and they're not looking at the long term pictures and in some ways is being driven by what you can know in the short term and I think that has to change. We have to change our methodology in order to actually look at what results are and how do you define results and we're long ways from that and there needs to be a lot of agreements as to what we can do regarding how do you identify results that actually affect the welfare of people and so in that sense I think we can't just talk about it we have to really think through this and in my view we haven't done that and I think there's a lot of shouting about it because it sounds very good to the public it sounds very good to legislatures, it sounds very good to people who think that their money is being wasted and so in that sense I think it's actually having not the expected results that I would like to see I would far from it
