Today, I'm going to show you how to make a quick template for burning things like this coaster over and over. My name's Jim and this is The Edge of Tech. So recently, my wife and I launched a brand new website. I'll put the link in the description below, but we've been selling a ton of different cork coasters, so I had to come up with a good way to burn eight of these at a time. I reached out to my friend Walter over at Country 3D a couple months ago and he gave me a really great idea on how to make a template. So I've been doing that and I modified it a little bit to make it even more reliable on the Ortur Laser Master 2. Now you can do this on any laser you have and it's going to work, but I'm using the Ortur Laser Master 2 in this video. So today, I'm going to show you how to make a template to burn eight of these coasters and make them reliable every single time. In the end, I'm going to include the Lightburn file that we create today. You can find it in the description below to download if you just want the file right away. But in this video, I'm actually going to show you how we do it. That way you know going forward. Let's do it. So when I reached out to Walter, he actually told me to grab poster boards, something like this. Now this is white and it's really washed out, but it's a big piece of poster board. Now I really like using poster board because it's very easy to cut, it's very easy to put down under your laser and you can just throw it away when you're done. The poster board is not very expensive. In my city, this is only a couple bucks a sheet and we can actually use each sheet like this a couple times with our lasers. So the first thing I want to do is make this a little bit smaller because I can't use this full sheet in the Oortour Laser Master 2. So I'm going to fold it in half and I'm just going to literally break this sheet straight in half. So I creased it a couple times and if you keep going back and forth, it'll start getting brittle because it is a thicker piece of paper. Once you do that, you can actually just take and pull it apart like that. And you don't have to worry if it's perfect because it doesn't really matter. So now we have half a sheet of poster board like that. Now I'm going to use the half a sheet we just took and create that template. Alright, so I'm going to open up Lightburn and that's going to give us our workspace here. My laser is already connected. I'm using the Oortour Laser Master 2 in this video. And the first thing I want to do is come over to the left and grab the circle tool. And I'm just going to make a quick circle just like that. Now this could be a square or any other shape you want. But in my case, I want to make it for those coasters so I'm going to make a circle. Now what I need to do next is make sure that this circle is the exact same size as what I need. In my case, I know that this is four inches around. So I'm going to come up here, I'm going to click this little button right here which will take us between inches and millimeters. I'm going to click the little arrow to make sure I'm selecting our circle. I'm going to unlock it here. I'm going to do four, so four, enter, height, four, enter. So we have a four by four inch circle. Now I'm going to lock this so it does not change the dimensions if I move this around on accident. Now I know we want eight of these to create two full sets of four in my case. So what I want to do next is highlight this.  Now I want, I'll move this over here. Now I want a couple columns just like that. So what I did was in the X column, I just did the up arrow and you see one adds. I'll do it twice so we get three across here and I want to do the same thing down. Now this actually gives us nine circles but we'll fix that in a minute. So I'll hit OK and that gives us our grid here. In this case, I'm going to hit the control button and A to highlight all or select all and I'm just going to move that right here to the center of our workspace or about the center. Now I want to get rid of one of these because I only need eight. In my case, I'll just get rid of this bottom one like this. So now we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight circles. So once you have all your circles here, there's a couple things that I like to do and there's one very important thing that I like to do to make sure that this is always in the same spot. What I want to do is come to the bottom right and make sure you're on absolute coordinates. So hit absolute coordinates. That means when you hit the home button on your printer, no matter what, this is going to be in the same spot every single time. If you wanted to, you could actually come over here and you can make a position, a saved position. In our case, it's just going to be home. So we don't really have to do that. As long as you know you want to home this every single time and using absolute coordinates, this is going to find these circles in the same spot every single time.  I just happened to like doing it one by one just in case something goes wrong. So I'm actually going to go through and I'm going to select each circle and I'm going to give it a different layer or color down here. Each one of these colors represents a different layer. Now I like to do this because it will go through each one first before it goes on to the next one. And if you do this correctly and something goes wrong, you can stop the burn before it does too much damage. And you can probably just reuse that poster board and move this a little bit and still be okay if one of the circles doesn't work. In our case, we needed eight total circles. So that last one here needs to be this one. So I have zero through seven here. They're all on the output, which is great. You want to go down here and you want to make them all line just like that. So what we have here is actually eight different layers and it's going to do one at a time. So in our case, it's going to start here and just kind of work its way down. Once you have all your circles in layers here, we want to set up that they're all aligned so we got that done. That means it's not going to fill in the center, it's just going to draw one line around in a circle. Then we need to do a speed and a power. So I double clicked on the first one there and it'll bring up this just like this. So I want to slow this way down. In my case, we're using millimeters a minute. Let's slow this thing down to like 500 and use like 85% power. And then on the left side here, just go to the next one. You want to do 500, same thing. What I do, 85% power, I think, yep. And then do that for all of them. And what we're going to do is burn it at this speed and this power. And if it doesn't cut through, we'll actually just run it again. It's not that big a deal. And then hit enter when you're done. Now if everything is correct on the right side here, you'll see speed and power. You'll be 585, 500 speed, 85 power. And then if you hit the down arrow, it's all the same. Now sometimes I like to do two passes just in case the first one doesn't work and then you don't have to go back and do this a second time. So let's do that just in case. So open that back up, click this up to two, go down, click this up to two, go down. And if it does go all the way through, that's okay too. We kind of want it to. So each one of these at 500 speed and 85% power, I'm going to hit oops. Two, hit okay. So now if I go down here, I see that they're all 500, they're all 85% power and the pass count is two on each one. Now we're actually ready to go over to the laser. So let's do that now. So what I did was I took the poster board that we ripped in half and I just set it on the bed of the laser as you can see now. Now what we need to do is frame it out and make sure that it's in a good spot. So what I'm going to do now is hold the shift key and hit the frame button which will power our laser and just do an outline frame of where the whole template is going to take place. So far we're looking great. It looks like we just made it with the piece that we cut and if you want to adjust it to be a little bit more in the template, that's totally fine. Okay, so now that we know that it is in a good spot here, I'm just going to tape it down. You can do this many different ways. In my case, I'm just going to grab some tape, throw it on here carefully just because I'm trying to film. There we go. Just so it doesn't move. Because once you get this template down, you do not want it to move. So I'm just going to tape it down right to my chip board or my waste board underneath the laser there. I'm going to do two on the sides and one right along the top. So now that we have everything taped down, we can actually start to do the burn. So now all we have to do is hit the home button in light burn. So I'm going to hit the home button now and it home and I'm going to hit the start button to start that burn. Now you want to grab your glasses and just watch that and make sure it's working here. In my case, it looks like I got a little bit close, but I can tell you that the 500 speed is probably going to be plenty. Now it's going on to the second line. It's going around a second time and I'm hoping this time it goes all the way through. So now that we're done, you see the eight circles and I like to take a razor and let's just make sure that they are cut out. In our case, it looks like they're pretty much cut out. So I'll pop each one of these eight out carefully and you just want to be very careful that you don't move the template. Looks like the laser did a good job. It looks like our settings were pretty good there. So then you have all of your circles that you just pulled out right here and I'm just going to throw those in the trash. Or you can use them for another project if you have another project to use them for. Like an air hose, you can blow it off, you can however you want. Just make sure all this is off. But now we have our template here. We have all eight. The next thing I would do is take one of my coasters. I would place it right inside of there, just like this. As you can see, it pretty much goes in there just perfect.  There's one side that's a little bit bigger. But anyways, it'll go in there perfect. It'll tell you exactly where to drop them. So all you have to do now is go back to the laser, set up your files and I'm going to show you that now and then hit start. So now that the cut is all done, as you saw, and everything is good to go, what do we do now? Well, there's a couple last steps. Number one, we want to save this. So go up to file, we're going to hit save. In my case, I already had it saved. So you'll hit save here and it'll prompt you to where you want to save it. So make sure you do that. It's going to save it as a light burn file so you can always open this back up. Now the next thing you want to do, because you already have these burned in, you don't want to burn these in when you actually do your templates. So I like to highlight them all with control A or you can make a big square around them all and highlight them. And I'm going to make them a tool path right here, the T1. So once you make them a tool path just like this, this is identical to what we had before, but this is not going to burn in. It will frame, so it'll show the frame if you try, but it won't burn in any time you do any of your projects. Now what I like to do from here is I go file, save as, and I'm going to do 8 coaster template tool or whatever you want to call it. You can do an 8 coaster template, whatever you want to do. I do tool just so I know it's the tool path version. So I have two versions. I have one that's going to burn it. If I ever want to burn it again, I have one that's just going to be the tool path. And you say, Jim, what do I do now? So in my case, what I would do is I'd go up here to the little import button. I'd click it. It will take me to where I have all of my stuff. This is what I'm going to burn on my coasters. I'm going to shrink it down like this. I'm going to grab the very center so you see the crosshair there, and I'm going to bring it back up like this. And I know in our case that our coaster is 4x4, this template is. So I want to make this just slightly smaller than that so it looks something like this. Now if you use the crosshairs here, you're actually going to center inside of that coaster every single time. Once you do that, you want to assign it a layer. In this case, I'll use number one. I like to use fill. With my coasters, I like to use 4,020% fill and only one pass. I don't need to do two passes and I hit OK. So that will give you your very first one. Still looks like it's a little big here, so I'm going to size it down just a little more just so it fits in there better. There we go. So once you get it sized exactly how you want it, if you want to make the same ones, all you have to do is hit CTRL C to copy it. Come over here and paste. Come over here and paste. Come over here and paste. Now grab it, center it just like you did before, just like that, and now you're ready. So what I prefer to do just like my other stuff, I like to make each one of these a different layer. That way if one of them fails, I can stop it and it doesn't burn all of them at once. And in my experience, it actually goes faster like this. So what I need to do is change all of these to just fill and all of them need to go to 4,020% and then one pass. And also I want to make sure our line interval is the same for all of them. In my case, I like 0.11. So they're all the same and these are ready to go. Now you can take another file and make another four coasters here if you wanted to. In this case, I'm actually just going to make one of these to show you. We're going to bounce back to the camera. I'm going to put a coaster in our template and then we're going to hit the burn button. So all I'm going to do now is hit my start button in light burn and you're actually going to see the laser go right to where it's supposed to go and start this burn. All right. That's it. We now have the grogu or baby Yoda. I need coffee coaster and it looks like this. That's pretty awesome. I really love this. I'm going to throw it right here on my desk and I'm going to set my water right on it just like that. Now what's really cool about this is you can do as many as you want. So if you wanted to do four of one, if you wanted to do eight different coasters, you can do whatever you want. Just put a different graphic in each one and I really prefer the vector files. That's a completely different video showing you how to make a vector file. But if you can find a vector file, that is my favorite to burn because it's so much faster. Now you know how to create the template and then save it and then use that template to put your pictures in and then start your burns. Like I said, you want to use that home button every time you start a burn. That way your laser goes back to home first. Also, you want to make sure that in the bottom you're using that absolute coordinates. But as long as you keep that template taped down, you don't have to worry about it. You can keep using that over and over. Now if you ever take the template off, you could always just create a new one. Grab a new piece of poster board, burn it and start over. It only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish to create the template and burn it. In this case, the burn template and the toolpath template will both be in a description below for you to download if you want to. So you can do that and use it right in light burn.

Next question is from M-Tino10. How important is having a lower back arch when chest pressing? Are there ways to improve having a stronger arch? Well, since Justin has the best. M-Tino10. Justin's always working on his arch. Yeah, since he has the best one, we should ask him. I'm gonna get a tattoo.  This helps with booty picks more than anything else. No, so when you lay on your back flat, you'll have this natural arch in your low back. Don't try to flatten that down.   It actually is safer for your shoulders to press this way. It works the chest better as well. So this is, that arch in your bench press is an important part of the form. Now, power lifters will exaggerate that to shorten the range of motion or to maximize leverage. If you're a power lifter, totally fine.  That is part of form. I actually don't like queuing this at all. I queue the shoulder blades. That creates the natural arch. If you tell people about the arch, they think about their low back more than they think about what you really should be thinking about. This isn't about your low back. This is about pulling your shoulder blades back and down. When you pull your shoulder blades, anybody listening right now can do it in your car or sitting in a chair or whatever you are. Headlights. Pull and squeeze your shoulder blades back and down. And when you do that, you'll feel that your low back naturally arches. Don't think just about arching the low back. That's a bad cue. And I think it's a bad way to teach somebody this. Everybody has a natural arch. Yeah, lay flat on the floor. You'll naturally have it. Yeah, and some more than others. Okay. But yeah. But by you queuing the shoulder blades back and down, it's gonna put a perfect arch in your back. That you don't need to be focused on it any more than that. And the only reason to focus on getting a more extreme one is if you are in the sport of powerlifting and so you're trying to create more leverage. It will give you more leverage to get an excessive arch, but that doesn't compute to more gains. More leverage. Definitely everything you said, but also don't forget the leg drive. And that's just to be more effective with your distribution of force and to be able to generate more force and the more stable your body feels in that position. Yes, you're gonna have a natural arch because of exactly what Adam said with, you know, bringing those shoulder blades back and down, but also too, you wanna be able to support everything by adding in your legs as another component.


Wikimedia is for everyone and anyone can contribute. You really can bring your whole self to the Wikimedia projects and I think that's pretty awesome.  It really felt awesome. In this past three years of things that we can achieve together in the future. I'm really excited for Wikimedia to be in Europe next year.


secret documents here classified here classified there. What should be classified? What should be top secret? To what extent should information be withheld from the American people?  I don't know. There's still files on the Kennedy assassination, was it now, 60 years ago, that have not been released. There are all kinds of files, the UFO files that the Air Force has been holding that for years and years and maybe decades were not released. And it's not clear they were all being released today. There are all kinds of we still have in the United States. We still have secret courts, which is a feature of the worst kind of authoritarian governments. And yet we still have secret courts in the United States. You know, these FISA courts that are supposed to determine whether the NSA can spy on American citizens or not. I think part of the part of the original Trump FBI scandal in post 2016, related to the use of FISA courts to get warrants to listen in. Should we have FISA courts? Should we have secret courts? There's all kinds of military documents. I'm sure there are assessments of the one Afghanistan, assessments of maybe even going back to Vietnam that is still considered classified and secret and being withheld from the American public. And then every one of the agencies, every one of our regulatory agencies. Now, there is generally the ability of citizens to ask for the release of information. And the press, this should be a big part of what the press and free society does, is demand that the government release information and more information and more information. But they generally there's a general acceptance, both in the legal field and in politics and among the public, that it's okay for the government to have lots of secrets from us. And I'd argue that it's not. That the number of things that actually should be secret should be very, very small. They should relate to certain technologies that might give our enemies an advantage over us if they were disclosed. They should relate certainly to military strategies that again might give our enemies an advantage over us. And they should relate to anything that has to do with agents in the field and methods of collecting information, intelligence, that legit methods, not illegit methods, but legit methods of collecting information about our enemies that again we don't want to disclose.  So in the hands of our enemies, all other information should be public. They should be very little that is secret. Now, that doesn't mean there shouldn't be top-secret documents at the Pentagon. They certainly should be, again, related to weapons, strategy, you know, and intelligence methods and people that involve in collecting information. But other than that, and certainly when it comes to anything historic, anything that does not put anybody at danger today, why aren't all government documents unsealed today from let's say 50 years ago, 40 years ago, 30 years ago? Weapons are not the same. Strategies are not the same. Our enemies are not the same. Spies in the field, there might be a few, but mostly they're different. Techniques probably changed. The government is our agent. It's not our boss. The government serves us. The government should not withhold secrets from us unless it is absolutely necessary in the protection of our rights. But that is the only standard that should be applied. Now, the things that are secret should be kept secret. The things that do put the lives and property of Americans at risk should be kept secret.  It puts our ability to wage war against our enemies at risk. And to the extent that anybody, Trump or anybody else, misuses classified information, you know, they should suffer the consequences of it. And it's funny because Trump, when he was president, had no regard for actual classified information, for information regarding military secrets. I mean, in a number of occasions, he published secret satellite photos and other things that gave our enemies real information about our capabilities and gave them indications on ways in which they could, by knowing our capabilities, indications on which they could hide things from us. So they reduced the capacity of the U.S. military to actually protect us. Trump was known for keeping confidential information, documents. He liked photographs and graphs, and he would keep them and you wouldn't release them. And they used to do what they used to do in order to prevent him from doing that, is in briefings, they used to present it with information in very big, like, poster-sized graphs and photographs, which were very difficult to keep, but he couldn't just put on his desk and leave.  I mean, I think that's true of most of his staff.  And I think the stuff, the books, the articles, the things that have been written about Trump by his own staff members who left, by people who are solidly conservative and solidly Republicans and solidly on that part, people who are respected within the intelligence community or the military community and so on. I think just the the books that they have published, the articles they have published, the things that they have told us about how Trump ran the White House and how he ran the presidency is enough, enough, I think, to disqualify him from office. I think just John Bolton's book is enough to disqualify him from office.  He really isn't. You know, put aside the policies, just as a human being, as a personality, as a every piece of information we learn about what was going on in the White House suggests this guy is not qualified, right? And, you know, and you don't even need the background, right? You could see it up front. You could see it. You could see it in the way he, the way he treated our own intelligence agencies and the way he treated his own people and the way he treated foreign leaders that this guy is not qualified, not qualified. Whether he's better or not better, he's not qualified. We have to be honest about that. Then you can argue about who's better and who's not. But first, get rid of the people who are. All right. Let's see. What do we got here? We got a couple of super chats. Let me I'll do these two. And then we'll go to the next topic. Friend Harper. So, you know, bottom line, just bottom line on the on the state secrets should be very few. They should be related to national security only and only to national security as it pertains to now and the future. It should never be about whether it makes the government look good or bad. It should never be about anything to do with with any kind of information other than information that again puts the individual rights of American citizens at risk. Everything else should be public and should be easy to get to. And indeed, a healthy press, a healthy press, that's their focus is to uncover and to ask questions and to go after, you know, the people in power and to make sure that we have all the information that they're not keeping secrets from us and, you know, that they're not being corrupt. So everything should be above board. Everything should be out in the open. There should be full disclosure and full transparency. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show.

You could well be ignoring the most underrated irons of 2024. If we bought golf clubs based on how many majors have been won using one particular brand, then all roads would lead us to Wilson. In 2019 at the US Open, Gary Woodland made it major win number 62 using Wilson's staff model blades. So the question is, what makes Wilson's irons so special and is the new 2024 line up majorly different? Right, while we get the cameras set up for the first shot of the day before we go any further, I can't ignore just how good these things look. So no matter which model you're going for, I'd be drawn to that sort of shiny staff model, it looks incredible. But even right at the other end, game improvement style, bulky, yet it's got a bit of mass, but as an aesthetic, any of these three models we're going to look at today look superb. That's three shots here to each of the three different irons. I can already feel and see the difference and I'll explain that very soon. Also, essentially, the first feelings are that the forged iron field superb, the middle iron, which is the forged diner power felt exceptional. And the diner power, which is the game improvement iron felt as you'd expect, but it's really good, but it's a lot more sort of just a bit more clumbersome overall. I don't know whether that's a field thing, a mentality thing or whatever, but each of the irons have done what I expected them to do in terms of distance and ball flight as well. The weaker lofted, the staff model popped the ball up really high. You can definitely see the power in the diner power and the one in the middle sits somewhere in between. So we've learnt nothing yet. That's so good, you know. That's so good for a, I just literally, purely based on the width of the sole, I would class that as a game improvement iron. It doesn't mean anything necessarily, it is what it is, but just on the sort of shaping of it, that's where it suggests, but it's got such a good amount of feel and I was able to just shape that a little bit as well. Do you know what? That's the fourth shot I've hit and I'm already super impressed. Wow. Either I'm hitting the ball good or these clubs are something else. That's the forged diner power. I have to keep on looking down to make sure I don't make a mistake again. So impressed by that one. Last one, the staff model. If I can do anything similar to those two with this, then I'm really off to an absolute flyer with these things. Right, same again. We'll be aiming for a little bit of draw, you'll notice as well, which is nice. Oh, look at that. Wow. I mean, I've just literally overcooked them both, the last two, as in they've moved just a little bit. If I look at the flag, the wind is coming off the right and the curvature on that ball flight is just taken, they'll miss the green to the left, but everything on the bar on super ball flight, they just look like they're doing exactly what you'd expect or what you'd hope them to do. Today's video is sponsored by our friends at Hofgolf, the online golf retailer for all major brands, and if you want new golf gear, then please support us by supporting them. Yeah, I started off this review and I'm being so, so positive, and because of the way reviews are kind of interpreted, you're almost like, already I'm thinking, right, can I find some negative in these things because otherwise, you know, there's just too much positivity on the channel. That's a weird way to have to go and do reviews, but generally, you know, I'm just drawn to a situation where I cannot believe how good these are. So that's what I'm going to say. I'm just going to tell you how it is and I'm not going to look for negative things. They might creep up as we carry on playing, but right now, just six shots in, I, well, just like I said, I can't believe how good each of them are. Do you know what the real star of the show is, this Dynapalphorge? It's the one that I keep saying sits in the middle, but for me, it's a combination between small and compact, very much of players like I, and it's got that forged feel, but it's like an absolute rocket off it at the same time as well. We'll talk about dry ball data a bit later on at the very end, but this thing is out of the three, it stands out on mild for me personally and everything I look for in an iron. Well, the final three shots you're going to see me player in absolute pure slo-mo brilliance, a wonky swing that produces a real interesting ball flight with three of these clubs. The reason it's slo-mo is for you to get a better idea of the ball flight of the three. Now, the interesting bit for me, I didn't hit the bulky club as well, it's a lower ball flight, unnaturally lower compared to everything else I've hit today.  And there's clearly a difference. We did record some dry ball data, the spin numbers are exactly where you'd expect them to be in the sense that a little bit on the lower side, on the game improvement, iron as I want to call it. Not to a level that would concern me at all, then you've got that sort of high spinning staff model, again, really impressive and for that better player. And then you've got the one that sits in the middle, which is that diner power forge, which every kind of number that I'd be looking for was hit, so it's a balance between for me a launch angle, a descent angle, a spin number, and then the overall carry, what am I getting from it, and all those combined were phenomenal numbers with the diner power forge. It's always a troll with looking at three clubs in one review, it's just remembering the name of them all, and I'm not going to go into mega detail on Trackman because I don't feel it's needed. I've seen out here the differences, which is where I like to see it and properly understand it. So I'm not going to go any further and I'll leave the review as simple and straightforward as that. My on course experience, some visuals for you to take on board just how good these things look, and immediate on course reaction, like I've said, these are really, really good. And I was going to say at their price point, you'd be hard pressed to find any better competing iron in each of the categories. But the price points are relevant, these are still very, very good irons, no matter what you put them up against. So super impressed with the Wilson line up this year. And if you're going to consider buying a new set of irons, then you must try one of these three depending on what you're looking for. Because I've got a feeling you'll find the answer in one of them. Right, that's what you done over at Short and Sweet. Thank you for watching.  Don't forget to subscribe. We still need your support and I'll see you soon.

We started up in a prior presentation. Going through the setup process we do every time. Maximizing the home page to the gray area, noting in the view drop-down. We've got the hide icon bar, open windows list checked off, open windows open on the left. Reports drop-down, company and financial, P&L, profit loss, income statement, change, range, 01, 01, 2, 3, 12, 31, 2, 3, customize, font, change, 14, O, Y, K, and reports drop-down again, company and financial. This time the balance sheet customized in it, change, range, 01, 01, 2, 3, 12, 31, 2, 3, font to the number in changing, 14, O, Y, K. That's the setup process that we do every time. Now we're going to be talking about paying off the sales tax which we can see down here in the liabilities section. We've been accruing upward the sales tax. We're going to be paying it off. Now you might say well it's a payable so why don't I just pay it off with like a check form. We will in essence be using a check type form but we'll be using the special widget which once again will have a special check. So if we go on over to the homepage you'll recall that if we didn't have any other widget kind of tied to it, we might just use a right to check form even if we did electronic transfer that's the form that decreases the checking account. But when there's a widget to be used such as the pay bill form which is a type of check form, we can use that because it more easily ties things out on the bookkeeping side within QuickBooks gives us some more indications of what's happening. The same will be true with the sales tax form. The same will be true with the pay liabilities form. Let's give a quick recap on sales tax, how it works. Remember that every time taxes get involved that's the government throwing a wrench into the system so you could see it doesn't quite look quite right here you got the sales tax up here which is kind of makes sense because we're paying off a liability but really when we charge the sales tax it happens down here when we create the invoice form and the sales receipt form. So the reason for that is that the idea of the sales tax is that it's not an tax on us get great guitars the company it's supposed to be a tax on the people buying stuff but we the company get great guitars are being used as the collection tool in order to collect the tax and then give it on over to the government in the United States it's a state and local tax that that we have to put together so we turned on the sales tax let's just recap that when you're setting up the sales tax three things you got to do or think about one where are you where's the sales tax can be charged where are you located how to turn on the sales tax and then you got to set up your items what you're selling that usually drives what sales tax will be accounted for or not as you create the invoice in the sales receipts and then you might have customers that although they would be exposed to sales tax for that particular item or for exempt for some reason such as there they're not at the end they're not the end consumer for example so if I go to the edit drop-down preferences we turned on the sales tax down here in the sales tax tab company preferences we turned on the sales tax we then could add the sales tax items here or you could go into the items list list drop-down and then the items list and we set up our sales tax items now the sales tax items even if you're only in one location you might have multiple people that you have to pay such as the state and the city for example and you might have different sales tax items for multiple locations that you're subject to sales tax in a more complex scenario in our case we're just paying one location which includes the state and the the city we're going to say and then we grouped them together so that they can be then shown on the sales tax forms when we make an invoice or sales receipt then we can go to the customers over here in the customers drop-down customer center and as we enter a new customer it will typically apply the default sales tax driven by the item but if I go to the edit drop-down up top and we go to the sales tax items here here's the tax code is on by default you could turn that off so that the customer would not be subject to tax and if you have multiple locations then the customer can assign which location is going to be they're going to be taxed at and the rate that will be assigned and that will track you know within the QuickBooks system so closing that out let's just think about the logistics real quick if I go to the edit drop-down preferences company preferences sales tax how is this going to work well if I turn on the sales tax I could say that I'm going to be charging or increasing the payable every time I make an invoice that would be on an accrual method which we're using here or possibly when I receive the payment meaning I shouldn't be accruing up my sales tax until I actually get paid so that's one thing to consider the next thing would be how often do I have to pay off the sales tax when I enter an invoice I'm collecting sales tax do I have to pay that sales tax directly to the government every time I make a sale that would be quite tedious no typically and this will depend on your location and how much you earn you will have to give them the money monthly or quarterly or annually so in our example we're going to say monthly so for the month of January we collected the sales tax we're applicable for sales that we made and then we're going to be paying it by the end of February that's going to be the general idea of the sales tax obviously logistically we have to collect it into a payable and then pay it at some future date and then the question is what's that system is it going to be quarterly annually or in our case will say monthly we're going to pay the first month of sales tax that happened through January and the current month in our practice problem which is February closing that out let's go to the profit and loss and let's just take a look at us an invoice that was subject to sales tax opening up the sales items let's open up an invoice here open up an invoice and so here's the sales tax that was charged on the invoice now remember that we do not record the the sales tax as income the income that was recorded from this was the twenty five thousand plus the four thousand not the one thousand four fifty the reason being that again it's not supposed to be a tax to us it's not part of what we're charging to the client it's it's us being the tax collector and collecting that one thousand four fifty so it shouldn't be revenue to us is the idea if that's the case then it also makes sense that we should not have an expense account for sales tax expense we didn't included in revenue we're not going to have an expense account that's often confusing to a lot of people instead what happened it went to the balance sheet because it's it's not going to the income statement at all and we increase the liability instead of increasing revenue and then when we pay the sales tax we're not going to have a sales tax expense we're just going to simply decrease the payable here so no sales tax revenue it's not included in revenue and no sales tax expense it's going to go in and out of the payable account so when we make the payment it's going to decrease the payable account the other side's going to go to the cash account up top all right so let's go into the home page and just take a look at the widget the widget is up here in the vendors area because even though we're not buying something from somebody where it's kind of acting like an accounts payable type of account here so I'm going to go into the widget we've got a couple things within the widget we got to prepare the state sales tax forms run the following reports to help fill out your state sales tax forms so depending on where you're located you know you're going to have to fill out the forms you've collected the sales tax you might have to fill out the forms which you can use the the reports to do so you got the sales tax liability report let's run this from 010123 to 2 let's say 022823 it's been two months so here's the two months of of activity thus far so the total sales the non taxable sales these are going to be the taxable sales because some of the sales were not subject to the taxes and then the tax that we collected and the sales tax then that is payable here's the rates because we have the two different the state and the and the local now we're going to run it for the end of January 013123 so these are the numbers as of the end of January right so here's the sales here's the tax that we collected this is what we would assume that we have to pay basically by the end of February right we've collected in January we've got a month to pay it that's going to be our assumption so I'm going to close this back out we got the sales tax revenue summary let's run this from 010123 to 12 let's make it 022823 and so there we have it we're focusing in on the revenue side of things which might be necessary to fill out the sales tax forms so we've got the taxable sales we've got the non taxable sales and then we've got the total that total we would expect then should tie out to in essence our income statement or profit and loss 68841 it's not going to quite match out because if I go to my profit and loss this is for the same to because there's only really two months that we've had thus far and it might be easier to see if I ran this report like 022823 and let's make a comparative report drop down and see the month by month comparison so now I can see it side by side and my total revenue for the two months is that 68 it's a little off minus the 68711 the difference is that 130 and you'll recall if you've been following along with the practice problem that in the supplies area I believe it was we've got that 130 that's from us entering a billable expense that basically refunded the expense account which is not really the way you want to set things up so you can go back and take a look at that and and when you have those billable items you got to be careful of that because we want to generally record the revenue and then the expenses revenue minus expenses being the net income but we're going to we're going to that's not going to bother us we're going to keep that's the revenue side let's take a look at the sales manager and look at the sales liability report one more time let's run it for the full range 010123 to 022823 for the two months I'm going to make it a little bit larger customizing it fonts and numbers let's bring it up to like 11 and because it's a fairly wide report so let's say okay there we have it that's perfect okay so then over here at the end of February this number you would think would tie out to what's on the balance sheet so that's the 289755 so we've got the 289755 that makes sense let's change this balance sheet to a month by month balance sheet so I'm going to hit the drop down I'm going to say 010123 to 022823 and let's see if we can make it by month okay so now we've got the end of at the end of January and then we've got the February data so if I go back over here into the sales tax liability and I change this to 01012 let's say 013123 then now we're at the 234385 if we go back on over here we're at the 234385 and this is the end of February so we can see how that kind of ties out now we're in February we're going to pay off the liability that has accumulated at the end of the month of January that's the idea so let's go back on to the liability manager I'm going to close this out these reports can help us to fill out that you know tax the reporting forms if we need to you've got the related tax view sales tax items and so on down below we're just going to use the widget now to pay the sales tax let's run it for the full range 010123 to 022823 for the two months I'm going to make it a little bit larger customizing it fonts and numbers let's bring it up to like 11 and because it's a fairly wide report so let's say okay there we have it that's perfect okay so then over here at the end of February this number you would think would tie out to what's on the balance sheet so that's the 289755 so we've got the 289755 that makes sense let's change this balance sheet to a month-by-month balance sheet so I'm going to hit the drop-down I'm going to say 010123 to 022823 and let's see if we can make it by month okay so now we've got the end of at the end of January and then we've got the February data so if I go back over here into the sales tax liability and I change this to 01012 let's say 013123 then now we're at the 234385 if we go back on over here we're at the 234385 and this is the end of February so we can see how that kind of ties out now we're in February we're going to pay off the liability that has accumulated at the end of the month of January that's the idea so let's go back on to the liability manager I'm going to close this out these reports can help us to fill out that you know tax the reporting forms if we need to you've got the related tax view sales tax items and so on down below we're just going to use the widget now to pay the sales tax so I'm going to pay the sales tax I'm going to say that we want to do this the check date let's make the check check date as of 022822 and then we want to show the liabilities as of the end of 013122 and then the check is going to be there so we'll use a check if you don't if you're using an electronic transfer then you can delete the check number for example and


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com. Happy Friday coming at you with 2020 Bowman Sterling Baseball Mini Box Break number 14. With a chance to win six mixer spots in that 11 team, or that 11 box high-end mixer. I think featuring flawless baseball, a lot of great stuff in that mixer on the website. If you're watching live, we have to do one more of these mini boxes, sell a handful of spots straight up and then we're in Brakesville. Very close to making that happen. Big thanks to nobody. No, big thanks to all of these people right here for getting into the action. Thank you. And all teams are in as well, but I didn't put in the teams. There are the teams right there. All 30 teams are in. Let's roll it, let's randomize it. Four and a four. Hard eight for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six. And eighth and final time. Hard eight for the teams. One, two. And of course the giveaway will be in a separate dice roll. Four, five, six, seven, and eighth and final time. All right, as always, no trade windows in these little filler breaks. Here's the first half of the list right here. There's the second half of the list right there. Get all that on one screen, sort by column B and let's print and rip. All right, so here are the two mini boxes that we need to do to unlock that mixer.   Let's select that one right there. We'll go one, two, three for the left mini box, four, five, six for the right mini box. And it's one. So this, which is the fifth box inside that master box, we'll save for the next filler break. Once again, big thanks everybody here for finishing this off. And good luck in the randomizer at the end. Are the autographs in the middle, maybe? Or one autograph in the middle. It's right there. Oh, nice Jason Dominguez for the Yankees, Jonathan. There's Nolan Jones. We've got Sean Murphy, Justin Dunn, and Michael Baez Rookie Cards. And we got a Dre Jameson for Jonathan and the Diamondbacks. There you go, mmm, Jameson.  Someday we'll be sponsored by Jameson. All right, now let's grab everybody's names from Jonathan down to Jeremy. There's some new dice. There's the new list. Let's roll it and randomize that list. Two out of five, lucky seven times. Top six after seven in the mixer. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seventh in final time. After seven, now from seven on down, my apologies, sad times for you. Jeremy, very close, but no cigar. I appreciate you giving me the shot though. Congrats to the top six. Happy times for you, you're in the mixer. Jonathan, Jeremy's in. Jeremy, you're in twice. Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, bunch of J's. Jonathan and Jeremy's in there. There you go, congrats to you. Thanks everyone for getting in and giving it a shot. Remember, we gotta do one more of these plus sell some spots straight up in the mixer and then we're in Brakesville. It's kind of a longer mixer so the sooner we can knock that out, I think the better. jashbyscasebrakes.com. I'll see you for that later tonight, bye-bye.


I call on the Minister for Health and Sport, Claire Hawke. Our 10-year mental health strategy paints a clear picture of the kind of Scotland I want to live in, a Scotland where people can get the right help at the right time, expect recovery and fully enjoy the rights free from discrimination and stigma. The strategy's guiding ambition is that we must prevent and treat mental health problems with the same commitment, passion and drive as we do physical health problems. I was honoured to be appointed the Minister for Mental Health in June of this year to build upon the work of my predecessor, Maureen Watt. Although I have only been in post for a short time, I know from my experiences as a mental health nurse the commitment and dedication of the people who make a difference in mental health care every day across Scotland. Today sees the publication of the first progress report on the mental health strategy. In the first period of the strategy, many of its actions have already been implemented. Out of 40 actions in the strategy, 13 are complete or nearly complete and 26 actions are in progress. There remains only one action to carry out a progress review of the strategy in 2022 that, for obvious reasons, is yet to get under way. However, there are three particular actions in the strategy that I will single out for attention now. Under action 16 of the strategy, we invested £175,000 to establish a perinatal-managed clinical network. The managed clinical network's expertise and diligent work has directly informed a commitment in our 2018 programme for government to deliver a stronger network of care and support for the one in five new mothers who experience mental health problems during and after pregnancy. That equates to 11,000 women per year. That will see £50 million of investment in perinatal and infant mental health over the next five years. In addition, more than 1,000 people have already received a distressed brief intervention in Aberdeen, Lanarkshire, Borders and the Highlands. The distressed brief intervention programme is funded by £3.4 million from the Scottish Government and provides the offer of a next day contact with a trained worker from a third sector background to anyone presenting in distress to A&E, police, ambulance services and primary care. We also announced in the programme for government that this initiative will be rolled out to under-18s in 2019. Last month, on 29 August, I had the pleasure of launching our new transition care plans, which will help young people to move more smoothly from CAMHS to adult mental health services. The transition care plans have been entirely designed by young people in dialogue with clinicians, and they are a shining example of what can happen when we listen to the views of our young people and act accordingly. Those are just three of the headline achievements that are summarised in the report. They are examples of where specific actions in the strategy are already making a real and tangible difference to people's lives. It is important to say that the 40 actions contained in the strategy will not in themselves completely deliver on our central vision. They act as valuable and necessary levers to create the change that we want to see, but getting to our ultimate vision and achieving our ambitions requires work beyond this set of commitments. There are five pieces of work that I want to mention specifically, and I think that they are all fundamentally important. Firstly, there is the Children and Young People's Mental Health Task Force, chaired by Dame Denise Coya, and supported by £5 million of additional funding. Dr Coya has dedicated her summer to talk with children and young people, their families, services, agencies and practitioners, and she published her initial recommendations earlier in the month on our whole systems approach to mental health services. Her work will help to implement the recommendations from the rejected referrals report, which was published earlier this year. Dr Coya has already started work on a blueprint for how services can better meet the rapidly changing need that we see across Scotland. The task force will convene its first meeting next month. Secondly, there is the Youth Commission on Mental Health.  They will do their own research, identify issues that are important to them, speak to the experts, policy makers and service providers about the solutions. More than that, the youth commissioners have been invited by Dr Coya to be co-chairs of the task force. I think that this is an inspired move and will keep the voices of children and young people at the centre of this work. Thirdly, there is the suicide prevention action plan, which will be published on 9 August. It sets an ambitious target of reducing suicides by 20 per cent over five years and contains 10 actions. It is backed by an additional £3 million. We have already established the national suicide prevention leadership group, chaired by Rose Fitzpatrick. That group will meet for the first time tomorrow. Fourthly, there is the CMEs national campaign launched on 18 September. That is the biggest conversation that we have ever had with young people in Scotland on what mental wellbeing means to them, harnessing the power of music to hear people across the country talk about how they feel. I am sure that the results are going to be especially valuable to Dr Coya's task force. Lastly, our 2018 programme for government has mental health at its very heart. It contains a package of measures to support positive mental health and prevent ill health. Those new actions build upon the mental health strategy and will be backed by a quarter of £1 billion of additional investment. That investment has a clear focus on children and adolescent mental health services, including school counselling. All of that is reflected in the report, which demonstrates progress on the strategy's 40 actions and towards achieving our central vision. It is the framework set by the strategy, together with other work that I have mentioned, that has helped to create the current sense of purpose and momentum on mental health that we see across Scotland.  In the past, many people were unwilling or unable to discuss their mental ill health and to seek appropriate support and treatment. That is thankfully changing. However, I want to go further in working to overcome the stigma that can be associated with poor mental health. We also need to ensure that the public's understanding and expectation of mental health services is accurate and appropriate. The services that are being delivered must also better reflect need. We know that there is a gap between how services are currently configured and some of the overall needs of the population. There is often too great a focus on crisis and specialist services. For both adults and children, there need to be new models of support that are less specialised, available for more people and that are delivered across different settings and services. We know that changing the location and nature of services and support requires the development of skills and capacity of the workforce that will deliver those services. That means giving staff across health and other sectors the skills and confidence to ensure that they are sensitive and responsive to emerging need and ways of delivering services. We also need to put in place approaches that are preventative and deliver early interventions where we can. It means ensuring that access to mental health professionals is straightforward and easy to navigate for the individual, so that the right help is available at the right time. Related to that, we also know that the workforce must grow. Through action 15 of the strategy, we are committing significant investment to delivering an additional 800 mental health professionals by 2021-22. We are doing that in partnership with integrated authorities, health boards, local authorities and key sectors, recognising the different services and settings where people can present while in distress. Finally, the role of data and information is another area where there is significant scope for improvement. We need to move away from the current focus on waiting times and workforce statistics and instead use evidence to identify areas for improvement, what works and what hasn't. Measuring patient outcomes and experience will also be important. Action 38 of the strategy, the launch of a quality indicator profile and mental health data framework, will be key to that. As I said at the start, we've come a long way since March 2017 when the strategy was published. The report laid before Parliament today summarises that progress and does so by looking at what is happening across the whole system. Of what the report describes is making a contribution to what will be a fundamental change, ensuring parity of esteem between physical and mental health, and meeting our vision for the strategy will require us to work together to reduce stigma around mental health, to develop innovative and new ways of working and in doing so see that Scotland's mental health services are among the best in the world. I commend the report to the chamber and I'll be happy to take questions from members. Thank you very much and our first question comes from Annie Wells. Thank you, Presiding Officer, and I thank the minister for advanced sight of her statement. I welcomed the commitments made by the Scottish Government in its recent programme for government. We all want to see mental health receive the focus it so desperately needs. However, I feel that that statement is missing the point somewhat. Since the strategy was introduced last year, we've seen CAMHS waiting times at their worst on record. We've seen an audit into rejected referrals highlighting a consistent rate of 1 in 5 children and young people being rejected for treatment and an audit Scotland report describing children's mental health services as complex and fragmented. We've heard many warm words, particularly when it comes to early intervention and prevention, but things don't seem to be moving in the right direction. When I've asked about additional mental health workers, community-link workers, school councillors and nurses, I haven't got anywhere fast. Detail seems to be lacking. Interestingly, the minister states that we need to move away from the current focus on waiting times and workforce statistics, but surely those figures are necessary so that we know the strategies heading in the right direction. What is she suggesting is an alternative measure of progress? When will we see the delivery plans for the recruitment of additional school nurses and councillors? If she truly believes that the commitments that are made in the programme for government will see a real step change, particularly when it comes to early interventions and preventions? I thank Annie Wells for her question. I think that it's rather disappointing that she's not able to welcome the progress that has been made in the 18 months. Stakeholders involved in ensuring that progress have been NHS, social care workers, third sector organisations and other stakeholders. She wasn't really listening to what I was saying in my statement. When she asked about CAMHS services, she will be aware that we have set up a task force under Denise Coyer, which has been working over the summer. The task group will meet next month, and that will be looking at wholesale changes within the CAMHS services. Mary Feed, who is followed by Alison Johnstone. I begin by thanking the Minister for Mental Health for Advanced Notices of her statement. Everyone wants to see mental health on an equal footing to physical health, and the reality for the Scottish Government is that they are nowhere near achieving that parity, regardless of their war on words. We welcome the appointment of Dame Denise Coyer in chairing the Children and Young People's mental health task force. However, the recently published Audit Scotland report of Children and Young People's Mental Health tells us that services for young people are complex and fragmented. With CAMHS featuring so heavily in the programme for government, can the minister ensure the chamber that funding for mental health workers in our schools will not be met from existing mental health or education budgets? Can she also give us assurances of how the transition care plans will be monitored, given the already existing problems with the CAMHS service? We also welcome the treatment that 1,000 people have received thus far in Aberdeen, Lanarkshire, the Borders and Highland to tackle the mental health of drug and alcohol abusers. Given cuts to alcohol and drug treatment over the last decade, when will the distressed brief intervention programme be rolled out across Scotland and will funding be increased year on year to tackle areas of high deprivation and poverty, which result in higher levels of drug and alcohol addiction? I thank Mary Fee for her answer. I hope that I will be able to answer most of your questions. Yes, it is additional funding that was announced in the programme for government. I am pleased to hear that she welcomes the transition care plans that were launched last month. It was certainly a piece of work that was done by young people themselves with the support of clinicians. When I was at the launch, they were extremely proud of the work that they had done. I have written to all of the health boards expressing my expectation that they will be using those care plans in that transition period from CAMHS to adult mental health services, but they can also be used at other points of transition. On the distressed brief interventions, we will be evaluating that programme. It has been extremely warmly welcomed. My own local police force has spoken to me on several occasions about how well received it has been in Lanarkshire. As Mary Fee will be aware, we are rolling that out to under 18. More than 1,000 people have benefited from having those interventions. The feedback that we have been collecting has been extremely positive. Once there has been an evaluation, we will obviously be looking at how we take that programme forward. The minister spoke of the delivery of an additional 800 mental health professionals to support A&E, GP practices, police station custody suites and prisons, but have training places been increased to allow for the further 430 counsellors now committed to schools, colleges and universities? Is the commitment to provide a further 250 school nurses also being reflected in extending the number of training places? I thank Alison Johnston for her question. We have made a commitment to the additional mental health workers. We are currently working with chief officers of the integrated authorities on developing that commitment. That includes obtaining detailed workforce plans that will provide information on workforce allocation, the location of the workforce in 2018-19 and details of the trajectory towards the 800 total by 2021-22. We expect to receive those plans for further analysis by the October recess. Integrated authorities have been devolved responsibility for health and social care for their areas. Therefore, they are key in playing their part in the plan and to take into account local needs. We are working in collaboration with other relevant partners to ensure that it is the best use of the workforce. Localised plans will need to be made to meet the local population and make sure that we are working effectively with partners to ensure that we have those workers in place. We have increased nurse training. There will be an additional 2,600 extra nursing and medwifery training places over the next four years. That is part of a wider package of measures to accelerate the supply of newly qualified nurses and midwifes. We are focusing on priority areas that include mental health, maternal and child health, and on remote areas, particularly in the north of Scotland. Alex Cole-Hamilton will be followed by Emma Harper. Liberal Democrats are grateful to see the 800 mental health workers begin to be recruited. Can the minister specify exactly what role they will fulfil? Are they talking therapists or are they signposting people into interventions? Will the minister also take this opportunity to tell Parliament how she intends her Government to respond to the call by Sir Harry Burns in his review of NHS targets, which said that we should be routinely capturing adverse childhood experiences so that we can direct support to those children? As I said in my previous answer to Alison Johnstone, we are currently working with chief officers of integrated authorities on delivering this commitment and making detailed work plans, which will include where the workforce will be. I think that it is really important that we work to local plans, because that is not going to be a one-size-fits-all. As regard the adverse childhood experiences, the Government is investing in perinatal mental health services and infant mental health services to try and support families so that we reduce the risk to children. We have rolled out the family nurse partnership, which is also working with vulnerable families to reduce the risk of ACEs. Emma Harper will be filled by Donald Cameron. I welcome the minister's statement today. Can the minister give a commitment that the Scottish Government will continue to engage with organisations such as the Rural Mental Health Forum and Rosabie to ensure that we can further explore options of tackling social isolation and loneliness in rural parts of Scotland? The Rural Mental Health Forum has been established to help people in rural areas maintain good health and wellbeing. That forum will help to develop connections between communities across rural Scotland so that isolated people can receive support when and where they need it. The forum has been provided with £50,000 of funding this financial year, and the funding has been jointly provided by the mental health and rural portfolios demonstrating the cross-cutting nature of the forum's work. Since 2016, membership of the forum has grown from 16 to 60, and the forum has agreed upon three outcomes to deliver one being a much-improved understanding of the need and unmet need for mental health support in rural Scotland, evidence of how to better overcome barriers to accessing and seeking support, and therefore enhancing people's mental wellbeing in rural Scotland, and better informed rural and health policy due to specific evidence and support from the forum members. Donald Cameron will be followed by Fulton MacGregor. Recent figures show that more than a fifth of CAMHS patients in the Highlands and Islands region have not been seen within the 18-week target over the past year. Given the issues around mental health provision in rural Scotland, what more can be done to improve such dire statistics in Scotland's Highlands and Islands? As I have said earlier on, this Government recognises that it is not acceptable for people to be waiting for a long time to be seen by mental health services. That is why they took action to set up the task force under the chair of Dr Denise Coyer. We got her initial recommendations last week, and her task force will meet next month, and she will be looking at how we revise and change CAMHS services so that people can get access to services that they need quicker, and those who need specialist services can be fast tracked to be seen by those specialist services. Fulton MacGregor will be followed by Anas Sawa. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Just this week, we have been given more stark reminders about the devastating impact that bullying often of our young people can have on lives, families and communities. Let's be clear, bullying in any forum, in person or online is not acceptable. Can the minister outline what support has been given to schools to be able to recognise and support young people whose mental health has been impacted by bullying? I agree entirely with Fulton MacGregor that bullying of any kind is totally unacceptable and must be dealt with quickly and whenever and wherever it happens. Education authorities and all those working in our schools have a responsibility to identify, support and develop the mental wellbeing of pupils with decisions on how to provide that support, taken on the basis of local circumstances and need. Local authorities will be using a range of approaches and resources to support children and young people with their mental and emotional wellbeing, in line with local needs and circumstances. Since 2014, the Scottish Government has provided £6,000 per year to the Education Scotland to roll out mental health first-aid training for children and young people to local authorities. The aim of that is to train staff within secondary school communities in order to increase their confidence in approaching pupils who they think might be struggling with a mental health problem. That training will complement the range of mental health strategies that are already in place within local authorities. John Mason will answer that. The mental health minister unbelievably said in her statement that we need to move away from the current focus on waiting times and workforce statistics. That, in the face of the worst CAMHS waiting times on record, the highest suicide rate across the UK, a sky-high vacancy rate and with the desperate need to recruit hundreds of more staff, does the minister not understand that the way of moving the focus away is by meeting the standard, treating patients on time and employing more staff? I recognise and this Government recognises that mental health services are not good enough for our young people, which is why we have set up a task force under Dame Denise Coyt, as I have already said. The previous Minister for Mental Health met a number of NHS boards where the current delivery against standards continues to fall short, and the latest statistics show that five of those boards show some sign of improvement, but we need to go further. Our mental health strategy is investing £150 million into services over five years, and it sets out clearly how we can reshape service delivery to benefit patients. That includes £54 million to help boards to improve their performance against waiting time targets by investing in workforce development, recruitment and retention and service improvement support. We are already funding Health Improvement Scotland to work with boards on improvement with ISD analysts embedded in the boards and NHS Education Scotland's programme of investment in workforce capacity building. John Mason, to be followed by Brian Whittle. I think that some people with mental health issues find it quite difficult to ask for support, for example, face-to-face with their GP. Can the minister say if there are other ways that people can access these services? Thank you, Mr Mason, for his question. There are many ways that people can access services. We have breathing space, which is run by NHS 24, a confidential telephone line and access services online. We have rolled out a computer ICBT programme to all NHS boards, so there are various ways that people can access services. There are also a great many third sector organisations where people can access health, such as Samaritans, if they feel that they are in mental health difficulty and do not feel able to approach their GP. However, I encourage anyone who feels like that to try and go to see their GP because they are the best place to be able to signpost them to services locally. Brian Whittle, to be followed by Stuart McMillan. Similar to the suicide strategy, the Scottish Government seems to be focused on trying to deliver a service to those caught in that poor mental health spiral. As vital and crucial as that is, the minister recognises that, unless a whole system approach to health is adopted, which looks at the root causes of poor mental health, such as poor nutrition and inactivity, chronic pain, obesity, isolation and alcohol and drug addiction, with all the evidence from Mental Health Scotland and Sam H, the system is ultimately going to crash. It is interesting that Mr Whittle left poverty off of that list, considering what the UK Tory Government is doing in terms of rolling out universal credit and putting a lot of people into debt and poverty. People having access to food via food banks, but he chose not to mention that. However, what I will say is that the mental health strategy looks at physical health. It looks at things such as smoking cessation, screening and activity. There have been programmes set up under the mental health strategy committing to improve physical health inequalities of people with mental health problems. Smoking cessation, for example, NHS Lothian, and I have a tobacco control action plan that was published on 20 June, which contains commitments to raise awareness among medical professionals and healthcare staff of the significant impact that smoking can have on mental health medications. There are two projects currently running on screening. The first is by NHS Dumfries and Galloway to improve the uptake of breast, cervical and bowel screening in people, experiencing homelessness or with mental health problems through gaining an understanding of their barriers. In NHS Lanarkshire, they are reviewing options to increase the uptake to cervical bowel and breast screening services for the homeless population in Lanarkshire. The act of living becomes achievable. ALBA is a new and unique behavioural change project that links in with existing physical activity provisions to enhance sustainable individual physical activity engagement through behaviour change. The aim is to increase physical activity levels for people living with mental and or physical health conditions in order to improve their mental and physical health and wellbeing. The results of that in the ALBA intervention will be available in September 2019. Stuart McMillan I provide an update on action 33 of the mental health strategy that relates to the needs of people with learning, disability and autism. Yes, I can. The review to consider whether the provisions of the Mental Health Care and Treatment Scotland Act 2003 fulfills the needs of people with learning, disability and autism chaired by Andy Rhoam is under way. There is a strong emphasis on reaching a broad range of stakeholders and seldom-heard groups so that the real issues can be fleshed out and considered. That will mean that several stages of engagement, as well as providing the right supports for people so that it will be able to record a range of views and experiences making the review truly accessible. It is therefore crucial that the review is truly inclusive and that this work is open and transparent. We want people to see and understand and participate in the work of the review. The first of the three public engagement phases commenced this month. I apologise to Mr Stewart and Mr Lyle. I cannot call any more speakers. We will move on now to the next item of business, which is a debate on motion 14059, in the name of Ivan McKee, on Scotland role in the development of future UK trade arrangements. I invite all members who wish to ask a question of Mr McKee—oh no, sorry—to speak of the debate. I might wish to ask a question of Mr McKee, too. All members who wish to participate in the debate to press their request-to-speak buttons now.
