A new study has scary news about young athletes and brain trauma. Joining us to answer your questions tonight, Dr. Gary Schwartzbauer, who is Director of Neurotrauma at the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Doctor, thank you for being with us. Tell us about this new study of athletes' brains, particularly young athletes, right? Sure. Thanks. First of all, Jeff, thanks for having me. Thank you. This study, and the significance of it, it was the first time that a large number of younger, mostly athletes, were found to have evidence of something called chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It's a mouthful, and maybe we should talk about what that is, and it really is what the words say, chronic. It's something that is usually associated with something happening over time, traumatic, repetitive head injuries that occur over time, and then encephalopathy. Something with the brain function is not quite right. We have known for some time, actually since 1928, something called dementia pugilistica, punch-drunk, that boxers, when they get older, would not be able to process thinking, would be aggressive, have outbursts of emotion, episodes of depression, suicide. That has been brought up more recently in professional athletes, in particular football, male and female soccer players as well, hockey, et cetera. You name it, the sport, there's probably evidence of this happening. And so there's two components to it, the so-called CTE. One is something you can see from the outside, the way the person thinks. They themselves might not be processing things, remembering things that they used to. They might be aggressive, they might be impulsive, explosive personality, for example. They might not be able to sleep well. These kinds of things are evident to others that are in their life, and maybe even to the person themselves. But the key part of the diagnosis, unfortunately, can't be done until after they die. And at autopsy, they find their brains have a particular kind of staining for something called etal protein. It's the same protein associated with Alzheimer's dementia. It's not the same pattern, so they're not the same thing. But it's not until that autopsy is done that a true definitive diagnosis of CTE is done. Given that, how was this study performed, and what ages were looked at? That's right. And so the key part of this, done by Ann McKee up in Boston, at the Boston VA and Boston University, it was the largest study, 152 patients and brains that they looked at of folks less than 30 years old. The average age that they found was about 22, 23. And about 40% of them, even at this young age, had evidence on this brain sort of tissue staining that nailed down the diagnosis of CTE in these young patients. So it's striking. They can begin early, and they were as young as 14 years old and older within this group. Now they found an association with folks who had this evidence of CTE, played sports longer, roughly three to four years longer than the other folks, brains that were in the study. And they all had evidence of some behavioral issue, whether it was the way that the brains worked, aggression, and in fact to get into this study, and this is a key part of this, does it mean that all young athletes will have evidence of this? Something that was very special about this study, as you can imagine, it's unusual to have a young person who has died for whatever reason. But if they've died under circumstances where the family is concerned that science might want to study their brains, this study came from such a bank of brains. For example, folks who had chronic repetitive injury, whether it was due to sports mostly, most of them are football players, most of them are male, but it could be there were military folks in there from blast injury, et cetera. But the family or loved ones were concerned enough to say, hey, I think you need to study their brains further. So I was going to say, it does seem like things are changing in sports. You think back to the old days of the NFL, and sadly, somebody would get knocked out. They bring them back with some smelling salts and send them back in. Fast forward this year in training camp at the pro level, you saw people, a lot of linemen with helmets on, on top of the helmets, they had additional padding. Can you imagine at all levels of football, there's growing concerns? So given what's been learned in this study, what should happen next? No, it's a great question. And that's what the biggest thing that this study raises. At what point should we be concerned that our young folks are involved in these sports? Mostly contact, but keep in mind that some of the sports like basketball, for example, and even softball that's been found to have evidence of this kind of injury in younger folks. We need to be thinking about this early on. And how can we prevent this, perhaps, and be safer about it? Well, one thing is education. The coaching staff, the medical staff has to be aware of what is a concussion. And the biggest risk is, is repetitive concussions. Concussions doesn't mean that you're knocked out. Has a very simple definition. It's alteration of brain function by a mechanical process. Whether that's a blast, a hit, a fall. And so it could be headache, it could be dizziness, it could be vision changes, double vision. Brain fog is probably the biggest symptoms that folks describe. They can't think as fast as they could. Certainly if you lose consciousness, if you have insomnia, you can't sleep as well as you used to, up and down episodic emotions. These are evidence of concussion, even if someone has not lost consciousness. In fact, in soccer players, they hit their head all the time, but they rarely lose consciousness. But yet, they can have a concussion in the symptoms following. Let me stop you there for a second. I want to remind our viewers if you have a question about brain injury, concussion in sports, give us a call at the number on the screen or send an email to livequestionsatmpt.org. Concussions and the injuries in this study that could lead to CTE, are they the same thing? Like is it an injury, not as severe as a concussion, a bunch of them equal a concussion? How do you think about that? Great question. And so they're basically building blocks to the disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE. And so one concussion does not make CTE. It's the fact that repetitive concussions, and especially if a concussion happens within usually a couple of weeks to a month of a primary concussion, the first concussion, in your brain is much more susceptible to worse injury and longer outcome if you have another concussion when you're still recovering from the first. So the key is education to the coaching staff, to the families, the players, to remove that player from the field if they have a concussion. Usually it's 24, 48 hours. If they're starting to feel better, can have a graduated return to play in their guidelines for this. That's one thing. And we were talking a little bit earlier off-camera about the fact that, well, up to 40% of young athletes don't report a concussion to the coach, to the team, even to their families. And so we have to be very vigilant of symptoms from this. Other things, better equipment, for example, helmets. It gets confusing because helmets themselves have different kinds of grading, something called SNEL or NOC SAE, or if the helmet is going to break or lead to a skull fracture. There's another one called Virginia TAC that supposedly prevents concussions with a star rating system. That seems to be the most popular. So look for some of these, but also ask questions about what's the safest equipment, and there's ongoing research about these from several angles. Let's grab a phone call from Baltimore County. This is Rick. Rick, thank you for the call. Go ahead. Yes, thank you for answering. My question is about in vivo diagnostic protocol, which would be that the brain acoustic monitor be enabled to survey the blood profusion in the brain following traumatic injury. Rick, thank you. That was over my head. I hope it was almost over mine, but Rick, thank you again. That's a great question because we're stuck now with CTE being something that happens on or basically the diagnosis is after they die, right? That's too late. We want to catch it as it's happening or before it happens. And so MRI, studies such as you're talking about acoustic monitoring, markers, meaning something that is in the cerebral spinal fluid that floats around the brain or in the blood. Folks are actively researching that, but nothing as of yet. There's a cultural issue in sports. If you're an athlete, you want to play. You said 40% go undetected, undiagnosed. Maybe somebody thinks they have some symptoms. You have been the guy, the independent neurologist on the sideline of an NFL football game, and the point of that is to try to spot things that the coaching staff or the player, let's be generous and say they're preoccupied and not able to spot. Yes. And that's the reason there's at least three of us there that are at NFL Games, for example. In addition to the coaching staff, everyone in the stadium and they're watching live on TV in a lot of cases, looking for signs and symptoms. Some of them can be subtle, the way that someone is walking. Remember, they're premier athletes, so sometimes they can not quite fake it, but get through something and, as they say, shake it off. That's not right. If someone is observed to be injured and clearly meets the signs and symptoms they need to be taken out of the game, evaluated, and if they're positive for concussion, then back into the return to play algorithm that the NFL has established. The goal is to have this working at the junior levels for the younger athletes as well, especially based on this latest study. Wow. Let's grab another call. This is Jenny in Baltimore County. Jenny, thank you for calling. Go ahead. Jenny, are you there? Can you hear me? Yeah, you're on. What's your question? My question is, knowing what the doctor knows about the studies and everything that he's seen and heard, if he himself had a son or a grandson, would he let him play football? Thanks for the call. That's a great question. My wife's not here. We have perhaps different answers to this. Jeff and I were talking. My dad was a big football player. I played contact sports up through and in high school, all the way through it. There are many, many benefits to team sports, including contact sports, to teach not only teamwork, working with others, a goal-directed objective. There are many good, positive things. And keep in mind, even within this super selective study where they took brains that they knew perhaps there was something going on already, only 40%, 41% had evidence of this. 60% did not. So clearly, just the repetitive injury is not the whole story. There's something else, whether it's genetic or other. There's something we haven't quite found yet. Why is it the linemen in football that have such a high level of concern? You think about that. I mean, the highlight that makes SportsCenter is two people running at full speed, smashing into each other. The linemen aren't ever at full speed. Yeah. No, that's a great question. They've actually looked at that. And it's the head slapping that goes on between NFL linemen for a lot of it, right? These are 300-pound folks, very strong individuals. And there is a lot of handwork and armwork where their heads are getting batted around continuously on almost every play. A running back, which is also a great risk, for example, only has select plays that they're running and doing. But the linemen are generally there, play in, play out. So this is a cumulative concern. Is there a sport that maybe people wouldn't think it's a concern? But you know, based on what we've talked about, that parents, coaches, school authorities ought to give us some more thought. Yeah. We mentioned a couple of the big ones, football, hockey, soccer, but softball is a big one. And actually being hit by the ball counts for about 25% of the brain injuries that happened. We were in a helmet. Right? So they're hit by a ball that's being hit into the field of play. If you were in a camp. Right. Exactly. Now in baseball, a different story. Turn that around, it's being hit by a pitch that does that. And basketball, a sport that I wouldn't necessarily think, also has a fair percentage of CTE in concussions, which you wouldn't think of necessarily contact sport. But then again, we'd have to probably talk to some of our NBA friends. They'd probably disagree about that. I have time for one sentence on this. If there's an athlete watching who may have a concussion sometime, why is it important for them to report it? For your own health and safety.  Folks have shown that even for championships, it's less reported. But please tell someone. Tell your coach. Tell your family. Dr. Gary Schwartzbauer of Shock Trauma, sir. We appreciate your time. Thanks for having me, Jeff. Appreciate it. Our health segments are a co-production of Maryland Public Television and the University of Maryland Medical System.


I found a surprising musical link between Ancient Europe and South India. In South India today, there are musical traditions and systems and instruments that are very similar to instruments played 2,000 years ago in many different parts of Europe. There's horn instruments being used in a completely different way to western melodic horn instruments. And that's the exact same way that we used in parts of Ireland, Gaul, the British Isles and all of the northern Scandinavian regions as well. Horns were deposited with great religious significance. In India today you can see exactly why instruments like that would have such significance and why they'd be so cared for by the communities. There are many traditions happening today in plain sight that are over 2,000 year old. The way that people make metal there, the way people prepare certain types of food and the music. We're literally listening to something that was happening 2,000 years ago while we're seeing something that we can experience it. Which is as close as anyone's going to get to time, fellow. Not only musically can we learn a lot about the Irish artifacts from looking at the surviving musical cultures in India today. But South India in particular can learn a whole great deal more about the past of their instruments and the development of their music through looking at the artifacts that have survived in Europe.


Hi friends, welcome to my channel, I am Arpita Karba and today in this video I am going to be talking about book list that you should be referring to if you are preparing for UPSC English Option. Guys, recently English has become a very popular optional subject in the field of UPSC examination. But when you look at the syllabus, it looks really vast and students wonder what they should refer in order to complete the syllabus and score really high marks. So they end up buying a lot of unnecessary books when there is so much free material available on the internet. So in this video I am going to acquaint you with those sources which are available free of cost on the internet and other free resources that you can use in order to streamline your preparation so that you can save your hard earned money. Now before we go on and talk directly about the resources and books that you must be buying, let us first quickly look at the syllabus and see what do we need to exactly study and then in the later part of the video I am going to jump to the book list and the list of free resources. Also please watch the video until the end because at the end I am going to talk about three simple tips that you can use to write effective answers in the UPSC examination when it comes to English Option. So please watch the video till the end. Those tips can be a game changer in your UPSC preparation journey. So let's begin by looking at the paper pattern. Now on the screen in front of you you would see that we have displayed the UPSC syllabus and clearly the syllabus is divided into two papers, paper one and paper two. Paper one deals with poetry, drama, fiction, non-fiction written from 1600 to 1900 whereas paper two deals with poetry novels and printlay written from 1900 to 1990. Now you must be wondering that paper one takes us to about 300 years, 1600 to 1900 and it contains all the works written in those 300 years whereas paper two only talks about 90 years. Why is that discrepancy? They could have divided it in a pattern where 1600 to 1800 could have been falling in paper one and 1800 to 2000 would have fall in paper two. But let me tell you they have done it with a lot of research and I'm going to talk about why they are emphasizing so much on the period between 1900 to 1990. Number one friends, during this period world war happened and not just one, two world wars happened and they changed the world completely. They changed it more in 90 years than the change that we traced down from 1600 to 1900. So if you look at the period of 1600 to 1900 the world was changing gradually. But because of the two world wars that happened during 1900 to 1990 the world changed drastically. It was changing every single minute so they are trying to trace that change and also another important thing is that we know that UPSC focuses on the development of the nation and it tries to address the issues of the nation. They want to see if the students are acquainted with the issues that the society is facing and they know how to get those issues solved so that they can make a change in the world altogether. That is the reason why they are focusing so much on 1900 to 1990 time frame because those challenges that people were facing during this 90 years period were very recent. They were very relatable. I would say more relatable and more relevant to today's society and that was very similar to something that we faced today. So I will give you an example. If you look at the text from 1600s we have Tempest and King Lear. Now these two texts are very different. They talk about the society which is very different from what we are living in right now. King Lear is about the king and the challenge is the king faced and the decisions that the king may draw. But today we don't have monarchy anymore so the text doesn't look like very relevant. Despite the problems that King Lear was facing was similar to what we even faced today that at times we get flown away by flattery and we also make wrong choices just like you know King Lear. But yet the situation was different. The political social conditions were different. But at the same time when we look at Lookback Anger which is a text written recently around 1950s it actually showcases a husband wife relationship and the kind of conflicts they are having. Now when you read the text you feel that this is very similar to how my mom dad fight or how my uncle aunt fight and that is how relevant these texts are. That is the reason why they are focusing so much on the text from 1900 to 1990 because these texts are more relevant and relatable to today's audience and it focuses on issues that even today we face. Now this was a bit about the paper division and the syllabus. Moving on to what we need to study and what kind of books we should prefer in UPS English optional let us begin. So for that I am going to first talk about the two kinds of resources that you must refer to. The first is the primary source and you can say primary material and the second one is the secondary material. Now what is the difference between these primary material is basically the original text of any work which is prescribed in the syllabus for example if you look at Tempest or Rape of the log or if you look at Poem by Alfred Tennyson in Memorial all these are primary material these are the original texts that you should be studying. On the other hand we have secondary material. Secondary material takes care of a lot of other things the difference is that primary material will just give you the basic understanding of the text it will just help you to understand the plot of the story but what will you not understand or what will you not get in the primary material is the marks. It is how much focus you put in reading and writing the secondary material that actually gives you marks in UPSC exam. You must be wondering what is secondary material secondary material is going to talk about a lot of things related to the text it is not the text that you are going to read as a part of secondary material but a lot of other things which are very very relevant to the text. For example you are going to get an understanding of the historical, political, social, cultural background of the age before you dive deep into the text that is something that you read under this secondary material. For example as I am talking about look back in anger just reading the text might look like it is just a very simple story of a man who is very annoyed with his wife but when you look at the time in which the play was written in the kind of condition that England or Britain was in during that period you will feel that England went through World War II because of which its entire economy got shattered. That image got shattered and that somewhere is reflected in Jimmy's behavior throughout the play that he feels shameful that he belongs to Britain which was at one point of very very great nation and now has lost all its power. Secondary material will help you gauge that kind of understanding from the text not just the historical, political, social background but you will also have to understand a lot of other things related to the text. For example look back in anger is a prominent example of angry young man movement. Angry young man movement was a kind of movement in which a lot of playwrights were talking about characters who were very angry, who were dissatisfied with their life because of what has happened in the past. Something similar you will recall if you have watched Amitabh Bachchan's earlier movies he depicted angry young man movement in India and you will be surprised to know that this phrase angry young man movement was originally coined by the Royal Court's Theatre Press officer in order to promote John Osborne's 1956 plays look back in anger. So that is how the angry young man movement came into the world and that is the reason why look back in anger is such a prominent text that UPSC has suggested it as a part of the syllabus. So this kind of understanding you have to gather using secondary material. At the same time you have to also focus on learning the quotations, some important quotations you have to jot down and you have to ensure that you write that on the day of the exam. Like there's a very famous line from look back in anger. Why don't you have a little game? Let's pretend that we are human beings and we are actively alive. This is a line that Jimmy Porter says in the play look back in anger and it is a very symbolic line which showcases that he feels himself to be a dead man. So he wants to play a game and at least that game will make him feel alive. Not just that but you have to also incorporate a lot of intertextual references in order to make your answers stand out from rest of the students. Now what are these intertextual references? Intertextual references are when you are comparing a work to another work written by the same writer or by some other writer. So in case of look back in anger we can compare it to John Osborn's other work which is the entertainer. Even in the entertainer he has an angry young man who is just satisfied with his life. And that you can compare it with is Arnold Wesker's chicken soup with barley. That's another work that was written in the genre of angry young man movement. So by comparing and giving those references you are actually telling the examiner that you know so much more than just the text. Now this is just a glimpse of what your secondary material should cover. I have covered in detail what you have to read in secondary material in my other video where I am talking about how to write answers in UPSC examination for English optional students. So please go and check out that video it will give you a broader understanding of what all things you must include in your notes. Now we move on to the topic of the hour which is the book list. Now I am going to talk about the book list that is important for the primary material first and then I am going to talk about the book list and resources from where you can gather the secondary material. So when we talk about the primary material the first thing that you should understand is that please don't buy original text. I would not recommend you to buy original text because they are number one expensive plus they are readily available online and that too free of cause. You don't need to buy them. I would also go one point beyond saying that please don't invest time in reading original text because there are so many texts which will consume so much of your time. There are two main reasons why I would suggest you to not invest time in reading original text. Number one it is very time consuming and very very lengthy. Time is a big resource for UPSC aspirant and you should be very very aware that where are you spending your time and it is going to give you the benefit or not. And secondly you will not remember the original text after reading so many texts. So there are about 15-20 novels then plays then 30-40 poetry. You cannot tell yourself to remember each line in these works in spite of the fact how sincerely and dedicatedly you must have read it. So there is no point if you don't remember it on the day of the exam. Instead I would suggest you that rather than reading original text you should instead watch a movie which will be more interesting. Reading that you will remember because the visual data that is present in the movie is going to get stuck in your brain. It will give you the feel of the time in which the text was set. You are going to understand what kind of country it was, what kind of clothes people would wear, what kind of lifestyle people were having. So if you want to understand the time of Shakespeare there is a beautiful movie very dear to my heart Shakespeare enough. You can go and watch that. That movie will actually tell you the time in which Shakespeare was writing, how people were dressing up, what kind of architecture was prevalent at that time and it will help you to understand Shakespeare and works even more. Now instead of reading a book I would suggest you to either watch a movie or I would recommend you to read a detailed summary, chapter by chapter summary of all the works that are prescribed in your syllabus. So if you are talking about novels there are so many places from where you can go and read chapter by chapter summary which will be equivalent to the understanding that you will go after reading the original text and it will be very, very time saving. In one-tenth of the time you will be able to gain the same level of understanding as you will gain when you read the original text. Now moving ahead you must be asking that okay now that we know that we don't need to buy original text then what are the sources from where we can study the primary material. So I'm going to list you five websites from where you can get detailed chapter by chapter summaries of all the text prescribed in UPSC syllabus. These are Cliff Loads, Great Saver, Book Racks, Lit Shards and Core Zero. Some of them also offer premium subscription plan so if you want something else beyond just the text you might have to purchase their premium plan as well. But otherwise most of them provide the main information for free. So one of the sources is the free website that I just mentioned. Another one is to get the online text. You can download the original text from any website. You can either read it online or on Tyndale or you can even take a printout. So suppose there's a poem by John Dunn. You'll easily get that poem text online. You can either download it or you can get a printout of it. And the third thing is by watching animated video lectures or the work you will be able to understand the summary and you will be able to understand the plot. And for that I would request you to go on to our website at vithakarva.com and check out our online course for UPSC English, wherein we provide detailed animated video lectures on all these topics so that you know what to study and how to study. Moving on to the book list for the secondary material. So if you look at the secondary material the first important thing that you must understand is the history of English literature. In order to understand all these texts you have to have a proper understanding of the history of English literature how the literature has transformed over a period of last 1500 years. For that I would recommend you two books out of which you can purchase any one. The one is Routeless History of English Literature and the other one is Edward Elbert's History of English Literature. By reading any one of these books you can gauge a proper understanding of the history of English literature. Moving ahead, another important thing that you must cover under secondary material are the literary genre like Anri Youngman or Mock Epic. For example, if you are reading Rape of the Law you have to understand what a Mock Epic is. So all these terminology, movement, literary genre, literary terms, devices related to all the prescribed works you can find in a book called Emich Ebrans, a glossary of literary terms. You don't have to read the entire book just the particular sections which are relevant for the text prescribed. Another important thing are quotations. From where will you get the quotation? Now that I'm saying that you don't have to read the original text, so in order to get the quotation you can simply Google online. You just have to type 10 famous quotes from Look Back in Anger and you will get number of websites from where you can copy paste the quotes that are easy to learn. Then when it comes to intertextual references, this is a very tricky game, friends, because we don't know which are the other texts from which we can compare our prescribed texts. So for that you have to do a little research on the internet and see what other options are available to you. Confused, right? Let me give you an example. For example, you have a text called Test of the Derby Billy by Thomas Hardy, prescribed in your course. Now you can either compare it with Wuthering Heights, which is by Emily Bronte, or you can compare it to Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Because Death of a Salesman has a protagonist called Billy and Test of the Derby Billy has a protagonist called Tess and both of them go through societal shame and the journey is about how they go through societal shame and how they evolve as a person in their journey. So these kind of intertextual references you have to figure out yourself or an easier way would be if you can join our online course because we cover all these topics in detail. We provide you primary as well as the secondary material for each of these texts so that you don't have to go anywhere else in your preparation. We even provide every critical detail related to all these topics along with the PDF on how to write answers on each of these topics. With the sample answer in the PDF you can learn the right method to write these exams. Finally we move on to the end of the video where I promise I'm going to give you three simple answer writing tips. The first one being originality. Guys, please don't refer to any guidebook when you are preparing for UPSC exam because if you're studying from a guidebook you're going to write what most of the people will write in the exam hall. So always try to refer to some unique source for secondary material so that your answers are original and stand out from the rest of the public. Secondly, please write to the point answer. Now what are these to the point answers? Most English literature students have the habit of repeating the same thing again and again because they don't have a lot of content or because they have a habit of beating around the bush and not coming to the point. So please stop this habit. You don't have enough words to waste in UPSC exam. UPSC restricts you with a word limit of 250 words. So in 250 words you have to tell the examiner that you know so much. So please answer to the point.  Don't try to use repetitive words again and again. And the third important thing is that when I tell my students to beat to the point I also mean to say that you have to adhere to the word limit. Now for a 10 mark, 20 mark answer there is a word limit of 250 words. Now sometimes people exceed that by 100 words or 120 words. Guys please understand this is going to leave a very bad impression on the examiner. He might think that you don't respect the instructions given in the paper. So please ensure that you stick to the word limit. So these were the three quick tips that I thought would help you to gain extra marks in the UPSC paper. I hope this video proves to be beneficial for you. All the best for the upcoming exam. That's it from my side for this video lecture. I'll meet you very soon in the next video lecture. Till the time we meet next. Happy learning, keep loving literature and stay tuned to arpathakarva.com.

collection side would typically be beneficial to us because if we can legitimately set that up and get the permissions and everything to do so that would be more of an automatic type of system you can imagine basically if you have a subscription type of model to basically pay us kind of automatically that would be great but the other choice would be the invoice which gives more leeway to the recipient to see how they're going to be setting up their options so we sent both of these out now let's take a look at what the email looks like so this is the sales receipt email we have the default email that we set up dear j customer please review the sales receipt below we appreciate it very much have a great day and then down below we have the sales receipt and so the payment basically happening you know automatically and they also have their attachment here for the sales receipt that they can print out so that's great let's take a look at the invoice so the invoice take looks like a normal kind of invoice process right so we so so now it's not just an automatic payment we weren't able to set up basically the automatic payment so they get the invoice on their side and then they're going to have to take action like a normal invoice so we have the dear j customer we appreciate your business please find our invoice details here feel free to contact us have a great day and then the enter so here's the bill to the interval every month the terms net 30 and here's the information on the services and then we have the review and pay here and we also have the review and pay up top so let's go into the review and pay and check that out so we have their normal kind of setup options that they have they got the debit they've got the credit bank account these are through the payment options that we set up so we would have to have the recurring payments that we we set up as well as the QuickBooks payment options to be given them this many payment options like we saw in prior presentations let's check out if I go to the credit card of course we've got the credit card number the name save payment method for faster future payments so they can sign in and basically save their payment method and then down here we have the auto so it says pay this invoice on time every time and they could set up the auto payment so if they set up the auto payment then our auto invoices you would think would be similar to the sales receipts in which case they would be paid kind of automatically but you can see it takes that added step on the customer side to to set it up with the invoice as opposed to the sales receipt all right back to QuickBooks over here let's take a look at we've received one of these payments on our side so let's go back into the hand buggy and let's go down to the sales items and take a look at these are our sales transactions so I'm in the sales transactions and if I scroll down we can see this one this is the sales receipt that we received here with an auto generated sales receipt that it gives us in the memo so if I go into that or click on that it gives us the information on the side sales receipt activity deposited and products and services and so on so that looks good we can then over here on the details duplicate it send it print avoid delete and then we can edit if we edit it looks like a normal sales receipt here so we've got j customer so on and so forth it's a sales receipt that means of course that it's increasing the the account that we put it into bank account and then the other side is going to be going to revenue driven by the sales item let's close that out so that looks good so now let's jump over to the invoices tab to the right and you can see here we've got this invoice with this circle up top which is showing that it's the auto you know recurrent recurring reoccurring invoice that we have there so if I click on it it gives us our detail on the right viewed three times so attracts the viewing of it and so on so there is that information okay let's go to a quick look on the sales receipts again with this one that we got with the auto-generated sales receipt remember the normal process we would have is if we process the sales receipt manually jumping over to the quickbooks desktop flowchurch is to look at the flowchart normally we would make the sales receipt and we could deposit it directly into the checking account there but sometimes it goes into the clearing account and then we batch it together in order to deposit into the checking account so those payment processors can be an issue for us sometimes because the credit card companies and the pay pals and the stripes and whatnot might group multiple sales receipts together and deposit into our bank account as one lump sum but because once again we have the payment processes on it should do that basically automatically for us so that it will deposit it into our checking account in the format in the grouping that we need so once this is set up it should basically be automatic from that point in time and take care of the deposit and do it in such a fashion that we can line it up to the bank feeds so if I go into the deposit side of things on the right hand side we see that we have the deposit deposits from QuickBooks payments and we have down here we have our information and there's our sales receipt that was deposited so that looks good and so it's grouping our deposits let's and then the net amount for dollars and 58 cents let's take a look at it on the checking account here so if I go actually into the checking account drill down on the checking and take a look at it we then have our deposit that pulled through here for the 557 and this is the one that came from the automatic payment I believe so if I drill down on that 117 the 117 hold on that's the actual fee that's the fee that went through let's go into the deposit then the 557 so here's our deposit and it checked all of these off including the sales receipt okay so it picked that one up and it deposited them together so you can see it did that kind of middle step depositing all these items some of them being payments that went from the invoice that was received and then the sales receipt which was so it picked up both of these if I go to the flow chart it picked up the sales receipt that we made as well as the invoices that we received payments on we didn't record the receive payment right it kind of did it kind of did the whole process for us and then grouped them together in the one deposit and of course we're hoping and it should be the case that this is the amount that we'll be showing on the the bank statement so that we'll be able to do the reconciliation so if we can get all this set up if we get these automatic payments set up then it can be quite nice from the bookkeeping side of things because we can kind of eliminate these last two steps although again the downside is the fees we can make the invoice we can create the sales receipts hopefully we can automate one or both of those things whichever one we're going to set up and then we can just let the payments roll and not have to deal with the receive payment or make deposit side of things and it should be deposited in our system in such a way that we can then match it out to the bank statements in the form of the bank feeds so then we would go into the bank feeds and we would see this amount coming through on the banking side of things and be able to match that out


So, the next challenge that we have is that the device is connected to the hostile Wi-Fi are still not able to access the institute server ok. So, we did not check the other devices. So, let us go back to a packet reser file and see what what is up with the network devices. So, let me take this one so, the device that we are looking at is a phone which is connected to the Wi-Fi network ok and there is another laptop that is connected to the Wi-Fi network. So, this is it ok. So, yeah let us check if it is yeah so, this is off now let us switch it on. So, physically we have checked that the laptop is on. So, the connection is established with the Wi-Fi router that is fine. So, now let us try to open the web page ok. So, let us just try to open the web page first and see what happens 10 dot 10 dot 10 dot 10 enter ok. It is taking some time that means there is some issue. So, let us go back and try to troubleshoot it. So, let us now try to see if we can connect to the web server via the ping commands ok. So, let us type here PING 10 dot 10 dot 10 dot 10 again we do not have any response here. Now we remember from the previous scenario that what we were trying to do is trying to connect to the gateway and the gateway was 172.16 0.1. So, let us try and see if we can at least get to that. So, that is 172.16 dot 0.1 ping. No, we are not even able to connect to the gateway that means there is a problem on a much lower layer. So, let us go and check where the problem lies. Now let us do this let us also try to do the same thing from the phone to see if it is just the issue of the laptop or it is both of them. No, we are still not able to open the web page from here. So, just to verify if the server is running fine we will go back to the PC and try to open the web page. Yes, the web page is opening from there. That means this PC is able to connect to the server. Now the fault must lie somewhere here. So, either the router is not able router either the connection between the router and switch has some issues or the router has some issues. So, let us try to sort it one by one. So, we see that the router is router 00 interface is connected to switches FA0 slash 24 interface. Now, though I can just look like I mean I can just open the switch and check whether the interface is connected or not what I will do is I will go to the physical topology and try to see how we can look at the interfaces. Okay. So, this is one of the switch and this is the other switch. So, we are this is this is the switch that we are looking for. So, yeah, so this is that particular jack. So, it looks connected and there is a light over here I do not know if you can see it. But if you look closely there is a green colored light over here that means there the activity is fine. So, this is the port number fast Ethernet 0 slash 24. You can see that. Okay. So, the other way of looking at it would be if you can just I mean look at here. So, if you look at number 24 this is on that means the port is fine. So, we what we can do is check the connectivity on the Wi-Fi router. Let us go to the physical port though you cannot check it here in the way we saw on the physical interface. So, what we will have to do is just look at this. So, it is static there is IP address this is there it is connected to the gateway yeah that is it. So, but there is no way we can ping from this kind of a device to the other side, but anyways this is a switch. So, it does not have an IP address. So, now the issue lies somewhere. So, this can this connection is fine. So, now what we will have to see is if there is a issue between this mobile device and the laptop and the Wi-Fi router. Okay. So, how do we check that now? So, let us go to the laptop and see if the laptop is able to communicate to the Wi-Fi router. So, if you open the Wi-Fi router let us look at the address that the Wi-Fi router has that is 192.168.01. So, what we will try to do is try to ping the Wi-Fi router from here. So, we will again use a ping command <IP_ADDRESS> no we are still not able to connect to the router that means the connectivity between the laptop and the router has some issue. Okay. So, now let us look at what are the settings here 192.168.01 and does the laptop what is the IP address of the laptop. So, you can check it over here. So, now you can see here there is a IP address <IP_ADDRESS> the point to note here is if you see this series of IP addresses that means your system is not able to obtain a IP address using DHCP and the system itself assigns it IP address of this with the subnet mask of this. So, if you have two systems which are connected to each other and do not assign you do not assign them any IP address they will still be able to communicate because they automatically take an address of this network and both of them will have eventually happen to be on the same network. So, this if you ever see this address as a IP IP address on your system that means your system is not able to obtain a DHCP address. Okay. Let us put it to static and try to get an IP address back now we are still not able now we are still not able to do this. So, a pipa is basically the term used for this address. Now let us see what is the condition on the phone so we will go here and yes even the phone is not able to get an IP address that definitely means that there is some issue with the DHCP now let us go and check the DHCP settings. Okay. So, we have this and okay now here what we can see is there is a wrong subnet mask. So, okay take some time and tell me how many IP addresses will be available if this subnet mask is 252 I mean you can actually see the answer here it says maximum number of user is 1 because I mean actually 252 will give you just 2 IP address which will be the network and the broadcast address so you have no usable IP addresses in this. So, this is a very common thing which happens because this has a tendency when you when you are using a scroll mouse you might have configured the wrong subnet mask by mistake and saved it and hence it is not working. So, let us reconfigure the subnet mask and see so now this is this and we can say let us keep the starting IP address as 100 and we can have some 50 IP addresses that you can assign. So, here you can see starting IP address <IP_ADDRESS> you can assign IP address to 50 users and this is all set. So, let us go back save these settings these settings have been saved we will close this and go back to the laptop. Now let us again try to get a IP address using DHCP yes now we can get a we have got a <IP_ADDRESS> and our gateway is 192.168.01 let us check if we are getting an IP address on the phone as well yes <IP_ADDRESS> ok. So, now let us let us try and see if we are able to connect to the Wi-Fi router first. So, we will go to the desktop ok I have to close this go back to command prompt <IP_ADDRESS> enter yes we are able to come communicate with the Wi-Fi router and are we able to communicate with the gateway yes the hostel gateway is also connected and let us even try to communicate with the web server so, <IP_ADDRESS> yes we are able to connect to the web server also now let us try to open the website so, we close the terminal sorry command prompt open the web browser then click <IP_ADDRESS> and yes we are able to open the institute network website. So, we have also fixed the second issue which was with the settings of the DHCP server in the Wi-Fi router. Let us go ahead and check it on the since it is able to get an IP address I am sure it will also be able to open the website we can straight away go and check that so, <IP_ADDRESS> yes it is able to check. So, now what we saw is so, in this in this particular scenario our approach was so, in this scenario what our approach was we first tried to check the physical connectivity so, we were able to first create a subsystem so, which was our subsystem so, what we have is this PC is working and it is connected to the switch that means, if we disconnect the network from here I mean this so, the switch the PC and the rest of the network are able to communicate hence the problem lies over this part of the network. So, then we tried to look at the physical connectivity between these two the wire was connected and we could see the light that means, the connectivity was fine and then we tried to check the connectivity between these two. So, as I said so, sometimes checking the wires becomes tedious or especially when you connected via Wi-Fi it becomes difficult to check if your laptop is connected or not all you can do is look at the network status on your laptop or say phone. So, one of the best ways is to ping your Wi-Fi router so, when we tried pinging the Wi-Fi router we realized that the router was not responding hence there was a issue between the connectivity of these two. So, when we looked at the IP address of the laptop we saw it had gotten a PIPA series of an IP address that IP address is only obtained when your laptop is not able to get an IP address from the DHCP server. So, when we check the DHCP server settings there was a wrong gateway that was configured hence the laptop was not able to connect to the Wi-Fi router. So, with this now we have been able to successfully fix the second challenge. Now, let's go towards our third challenge.


Hey y'all Hey, I'm glowing. I'm glowing. I ain't pregnant. I'm just putting it out there ain't pregnant.

And she's like, yeah, absolutely. I noticed that he's doing better. He's thriving She's not there still talking the kids They're gonna be kids as long as they're not really really showing up But yeah, I just wanted to thank her for that. What else girl?

It's not letting up I said, you know what? You ain't saying that the better thing. I need to look in my passport.  I say you right. God. God got me everywhere. There ain't there So the I think that you know, y'all things are going to be getting crazy and that That shocked me to receive that notification. I thought it was an umbrella at first and I was like, what the heck is this? So Anyway, um Let's just go right into stuff. I'm watching on youtube because it kind of has to do deal with Just some some gossip stuff celebrity stuff So are y'all noticing because I go back and I read the stuff on youtube Are y'all noticing all of the celebrity breakups that are occurring? I mean, we always knew that To a certain degree. Hold on y'all We always knew to a certain degree that some of that stuff will happen, but I mean like This week along or like in the past two weeks, it has been absolutely crazy the amount of Drama tamer and her boyfriend or excuse me.  I think they were together for how long eight or nine months He shared on social media instagram or something. Yeah, we're no longer together I'm like child You gotta really announce all that stuff. But anyway, you know, I guess so if you're in the public eye um Child joshua jackson. What's his name? Is his name job? Yeah, is it joshua jackson? Basically a doc's creek bay. Um, and his beautiful wife file for divorce He has a huge glow up glow up joshua is joshua joshua jackson. Yeah, and his wife is jody I'm a bit surprised by that because to me they seemed like a power couple without the Fetish of a black and white couple. Y'all know what I mean by that. There's no shade but To a point especially on these social media sites There can almost be a fetish of In this in this Black women and white men Almost like a fetish fetish couple Yeah, they're divorced and it's really really really sad girl.  I don't just to know what's going on But sometimes I really don't be paying attention to a lot of stuff is annoying me This sexy sexy red stuff. Y'all let me See, I need I need to have my ends trimmed again sexy red sexy red is a rapper and I don't listen to a lot of Music nowadays. I mean I hear some stuff on the on the radio and but I don't even know who people are I really don't because I don't be paying attention But she sings raps the song Pound Town First of all, the song is called Pound Town and then there's one that is called eggplant Let me tell you something We're gonna get to we're gonna get first. So let me let me just go back into the the fact that I don't listen to this type of music What was the first song I listened to the first song I listened to was Not Pound Town. It was the eggplant With another young lady named lotto big lotto is a big lotto lotto life skin girl and I know she got that song Dropping to the floor something like that with Carterby.  I'm like I was literally listening to this music like I listened to Pound Town. I couldn't even get through it.  And yes, we had our little kems and trina And t-shirt in my panties We had all there but even like what lovely ti said we had other artists Artists to balance it out. Not only that we had R&B that faith Evans. We had Tevin Campbell girl All ti all say Tevin. We had faith Evans. We had Lauren Hill. We had Mary J I could love you.

We had the balance of that and we just had two Trina Little Kim and of course you had your certain areas where you had gangsta boo. Memphis.  This is why I introduced jay with the kenny ronch Chow, my baby needs to cook my baby needs to get into 2023. He'll be okay though Chow, yes, that's gonna I talked about all the people that are divorced and all this What do I have here? Girl, let's just jump right into it and get get some stuff that's cleaner and better So, yeah, y'all that's pretty much what I'm watching on youtube is catching up on all the tea looking and all that I'm not even gonna get into the Steve Harvey stuff and his wife I find that when people front a lot on social media And I don't What are you doing all that for I think that his wife was cheating on him How you get hers? How you gonna lose them? Is that what is that what they say that whole saying is that what they say y'all So Been rumored that she's been cheating yada yada yada Just a mess about that. What do y'all think about that? Just a mess girl a mess Yeah, I'm doing this fast because I got all this other side of my hair. I need to do Um, okay. Yeah, so what I'm watching Um, I am watching movies wise. I saw a new movie on isn't on hulu call You can't escape Really good. It is not what you expect again. It's called you can't escape um Very interesting.  I'm gonna leave that alone Okay, this hair is not supposed to be straight. It's not Those ends are horrible, but How does it look? Huh reptile it has that fun Uh He played in the school of that that that Girl, I'm saying that ain't my wrong Blatly senior old del taco. He's cute. He's older now, but he's still cute Reptile and it also has alicia silverstone. Y'all I I live for alicia silverstone and I love her instagram It's very earthy AHS new season It has kevin cardassian and of course emma rovers And it's called delicate spoilers I'm on episode two. I don't think I'm good. I'm not gonna be able to do it I'm not gonna be able to do it I say that now I'll probably watch uh episode three. His skills still continue to to pray about it I don't know what the theme is. Do y'all know what the theme is? I don't know. Is it spiders? Is it witches? I don't know. Is Kim Kardashian's face I'm not going to talk about stuff like that because she she can't control that because she used to want to say doing it But I'm not going to talk about that. I'm not going to be shallow like that.  I'm thinking okay.  Who's a movie star? I'm like Ryan Murphy. I need for you to get a better storyline than this because But it's not is there. I'm watching on who looms called delicate I'm gonna try to get through it archive 81 on Netflix is still Such a mystery and I'm not sure what it's really telling but I am here for it. I love series like this um only murders in the building y'all this series is such a goofy again This is on hulu too. It has martin sharp And steve martin and I think they have both pretty active in the writing and directing They're almost me doing my hair. I see how y'all do I think they both are pretty much in the acting the salina Gomez is in it too They are so funny and merrill street who I absolutely love is in this particular season And what is his name from um for forest beller? Ferris Bieler's day off Matthew Broderick Matthew Broderick makes a good cameo and that's what I love about this because Martin sharp and and The other one There's some big hitters. Okay, so they can pull this type of type of weight, you know, I mean steve martin definitely Um, they can pull this type of weight and get these type of people on the show And so I think it's absolutely hilarious the changeling When I tell you I am so invested in this show. I am on episode four Spoiler I'm not going to give a lot, but they need to do like a trigger warning on this There is some Is is a murder mystery it's thriller horror horror. I have no idea what the show is about I don't know if this is about some fairy tale shit As fairy tale stuff. Excuse me. Y'all. I don't know if this is giving me like boogeyman mythological creatures witches I don't know Monsters I think it's a combination of a of a couple of things. We're going to pull this up y'all There we go. We're going to pull this up and we're going to twist it going this way. You see that?  So I'm invested right I'm on episode four Like I said, they need to give some disclaimers because It's a bit much It is a bit much When I mean like suicide murder S.A. meaning. Um, no, no, no d.a. domestic Assault it heavy. All right for this one. We're going to No, we're not gonna do that Shoot, it's coming loose. No, no, no, no No, no, no. So y'all aren't talking y'all messed me up.  I didn't realize he had all those kids.  Three babies now I'm putting that back. I know a couple of years ago One of the baby mamas outed him For basically saying he doesn't take care of his kid He doesn't seem like the type but that's the the keep I fell in love with online That's probably not Oh child, that's big. Let's push that down That's a bit much. Yeah, let's let's tone it down some Nothing to talk about All right, this is going to be my hairstyle for the day y'all. What time is it here? You got time I'm gonna go around to my husband. You're like, hey Um, I got some stuff in my instagram cards Girl, I could flirt With my husband.

Well, I guess I'm going to get going then. Oh, we have Jack. Hi folks. Awesome. Whoa. Okay, so I'm going to call the meeting to order. First thing is review and approve the agenda. I assume. We don't have any changes. Yeah. Yeah, right. Okay. So. If there's no objection, I'm going to consider the agenda approved. And moving on to setting the. Tax rate. We have a. Opposed tax rates. And for the municipal tax as well as the water sewer benefit charge and sewer separation. Charge. Any discussion about that. Jack, I move we set the tax rates as proposed by the finance director. I'll second it. Further discussion. Okay. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. And opposed. Okay. So that passes. Yes, Donna. I just wanted to thank Kelly really all the information was so well presented and I'm so thankful for the sample going out to citizens. The residents. It's really, really helpful. Thank you. Okay. So the next item is a. Public records request appeal. I had. In order to be timely with that, I had sent out a. A decision regarding the appeal. But to particularly to have. I'm sorry. Particularly to have. Authority behind it. It could be that it needs to be this body that either approves or denies the request. So. It is up for potential ratification. I think it's about. This. Okay. Is there a jack. I'm curious if we had any communication with the appellant about. Today's meeting and his opportunity to be here and make a presentation if he wanted to. I did not personally. We did say that it would be subject to ratification. But it's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. Now, but. Was. Warned. But. That's all I've got for you on that. Okay. That's good enough. Just. Dan. Question about the substance of the, of the, of the denial of his appeal. My understanding is that. The city has provided him with records. That have been made available to him. And he hasn't taken up that opportunity to, to visit or. And do we have any idea? Why not. No, he has been every time we've communicated about this. Let him know that the office is available. And these records are available to him anytime he wants. Since COVID we've asked for him to make an appointment, but that's the only way. And he's not taken us up on that and has not provided an explanation as to why. Okay. Jack. I've been. Hearing this. Stories about this dispute about the. City center permit. A year or more now. And I understand his. His point, but. And this is not an area of law in which I specialize, but as, as I understand his request, it's basically. That the appellant has a vague recollection that at some time when the city center building was under consideration back in the 80s, that. He has a vague recollection that there might have been some promise that they would keep the restrooms open to the public. And he's looking for whatever document. In our records that might. Support that. And it, it just doesn't seem to me. That. I think there may or may not be. A document that says a certain thing. Really adequately identifies a document that we're. Required to. Search for and provide. I don't know if anyone else has any feelings about that. So this is a little bit. Adjacent to what you're saying. But one of the things that I learned through this process, and in talking with the city's attorney. Is the distinction between. Wanting to inspect records. Versus. Be able to walk away with copies of records. And. That inspection is free and providing copies is not. And. So that there's part of. The process of providing records. The conflict here also seems. To be around the requirement to. Charge for. This process for the process of providing the records, which is why, you know, as saying it's available, you can come and inspect it anytime that is free. You know, if we're going to go through and copy stuff for you, then we're going to. It's within our rights to charge. And that, that is also a part of his. Disagreement, I think. Thanks. Any other thoughts or questions or comments. Donna. I thought you covered it in your letter. Do you want a motion to ratify it? I'll make it. That'd be great. Okay. I'll make a motion to ratify it. The letter produced by the mayor. Second. For the discussion. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. And opposed. Okay. All right. So the motion passes. And that is the. End of our business for today. So I'm going to declare the meeting adjourned. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's the wishes. Real quick, real quick. I'm just taking the notes for John right now. Jack, did you second Donna's motion just then? Or did. I did. Okay. Thank you. I appreciate it. That was it. Okay. Thanks everybody.
