Okay, so we continue with the proof of the monodromy theorem, so we have this rectangle which is product of the close interval AB on the real line with the close interval CD on the real line and we have a homotopy capital F which is a continuous function on this rectangle and it gives a homotopy between the path gamma which is the beginning path in the homotopy and the path neta which is the terminal path the homotopy and of course any intermediate path in the homotopy is given by gamma s, okay, gamma s is just F of s gamma t with s fixed and t varying, alright and what we need to show is that if we know that there is an analytic function even at the point z0 which can be analytically continued along each of these paths then analytic continuation along any path will again lead to the same function at the terminal point z1 that is what we have to prove, okay that is the monodromy theorem. So how do you prove this proof is as follows, so what we will do is we will do the following thing you know, so what is given to me is that there is an analytic continuation of F along each of these paths, okay, so let me write down some analytic continuation alright, so it is so for every s in CD there exists an analytic continuation along the path gamma s which is given by F of s, t of z sigma n equal to 0 to infinity a n of s, t into z minus gamma s of t to the power of n with radius of convergence with disc of convergence mod z minus gamma s of t is less than r sub s of t, okay which is of course positive with of course and with F of s, 0 is equal to f, okay. So what I have done is for each gamma s I have written this f of s, t which is an analytic continuation along the path gamma s starting with f, okay and it has certain disc of convergence, right. So you know so on this picture gamma s is this path which is the image under capital F of this line of this line segment, okay where s is fixed and t varies from c to d, t varies from a to b, s is fixed value between small c and small d and t varies from a to d and the image of this line segment under this continuous function f is this path gamma s and if you give me a point, if you give me a point t here a point corresponding to a certain value of t between a and b then the corresponding point here this rectangle will have coordinates s, t and the corresponding point and the image of this point under f will be f of s, t which is just gamma s of t. So it is going to be this point gamma s of t I am going to get a point here and I have an analytic continuation along this gamma s as t varies and that is this analytic continuation f of s, t, okay and at the point gamma s of t I am going to get a power series centered at gamma s of t, okay and the only thing that you have to remember is since there are two real variables or everything I mean f, a, a, n and gamma and also r they will all depend on two real variables s and t, okay. So far they were depending only on one variable if you are writing an analytic continuation along a single path then you get only one variable which is the path variable but now you are writing an analytic continuation on a family of paths, okay which means that you have also a variable for different paths which is the variable s so there are two variables involved s and t. So everything is a function of the power series in the analytic continuation the coefficients of the power series the centers of the power series the radius of convergence of the power series they are all depending on these two variables, okay. So s and t will appear in all of them that is how we write it, okay and so this is given to me there is an analytic continuation like this, okay I do not care what this analytic continuation is for the moment, alright but it is given that there is an analytic continuation. Now what I am going to do, okay so the fact I am going to use is that this function rs of t if you think of it as a function from this rectangle with st as a variable point of the rectangle then the claim is this r is a continuous function on that rectangle, okay. In fact an will also be a continuous function on that rectangle, okay so here is a claim rs of t is a continuous function of the point s, t in the rectangle av cross cd it is a continuous function. So this is the claim we use the lemma that if f is so if g is analytic in the domain d u and for z in u p g z sorry let me put z prime for z prime u p g z prime is the power series expansion of g around z prime with disc of convergence mod z-z prime lesser than r of z prime then r is continuous as a function of z prime in u. So I am just using the fact that you know if you have an analytic function on a domain and at various points you start writing its power series expansion, okay so at various points I will get various power series expansions and at corresponding to each of these power series expansion I am going to get radii of convergence so as I change the point I am going to get different radii of convergence, okay depending on which point I am expanding the function of power series about then the fact is that this radii as you change the point the radii of convergence will change continuously, okay so we proved this. So in fact what we proved is in fact we proved if you remember we proved r of z1-r of z2 mod is strictly less than mod of z1-z2 we proved the difference in the radii of convergence of the power series expansion at z1 and z2 cannot exceed is smaller than the distance between the two points, okay. So this is the fact we need to use so let me draw another diagram so you know the situation is like this so here is my rectangle so this is when this is A this is B this is C this is D and this is the variable T this is the variable S, okay and here is my particular value S well if you want you know I can take S0 and then I can take certain T0 so I will get this point which corresponds to S0, T0 and I have this F and what this F is going to give me is well it is going to map this segment point of course gamma which is gamma A rather gamma C this is the path from z0 to z1 and then I have this other path below which is neta and neta is gamma D, okay and corresponding to this line segment with Y coordinate S0 I am going to get the intermediate path gamma S0 this is gamma sub S0, okay and this is the point that corresponds to gamma sub S0 of T0, okay this is what I am going to get. Now see I have to show that I am trying to show that RS of T is a continuous function of ST, okay to show that a function is continuous it is enough to show it is locally continuous, okay. So it is enough to show that RS of T is continuous in SNT in a neighbourhood of each point S0, T0 in the rectangle, alright. So you know so you know fix so let me write that down it is enough to show RST is continuous in a neighbourhood of S0, T0 for every point S0, T0 in that rectangle it is enough to show this, alright because continuity is a local property to show that a function is continuous it is enough to show that on an open cover, okay. So you know so I have frozen this S0 and T0, okay now for the moment what you do is you see you just look at this path gamma S0, okay along this path gamma S0 there is this analytic continuation which is given by F S0, T there is an there is this analytic continuation F S0, T and it starts with F S0, 0 which is F it is an analytic continuation of F along this gamma S0, alright. Now you see by the previous lemma, okay for all T for all paths close enough to this path the analytic continuation are the same, okay. We have see the previous lemma that we proved in the in the in the preceding lecture was that if you have analytic continuation along a path then along sufficiently close paths the analytic continuation is going to exist and is going to be and is going to lead to the same function at the end, okay. So what you must understand is on nearby paths, okay, nearby means for S close to S0, okay if you take nearby paths then the analytic continuation are going to be the same as the analytic continuation along the path gamma S0, okay. So by the previous by the lemma of the previous lecture, namely the lemma that I proved at the end of the previous lecture there exists delta of S0 such that for every S with mod gamma S of T minus gamma S0 of T is less than delta of S0 the analytic continuation F S, T is going to be the same as analytic continuation along F S, T is going to be the same as along F S0, T. This is what we so you know I am saying that you know if you choose any S which is very close to S0, okay. So if you choose S close to S0, alright then of course the gamma S will become very close to gamma S0. So this is gamma S, this is gamma S and this is gamma S0. If S is close to S0 then gamma S is close to gamma S0 that is simply because F is continuous and gamma S is the image of this line segment that corresponds to S and gamma S0 is the image of this line segment that corresponds to S0, okay and nearby a continuous function maps nearby objects to nearby objects is just continuity. So as you make S close to S0 the gamma S comes closer to gamma S0 but then if you have chosen S so that the distance between the point gamma S, T and gamma S0 of T for each T is always less than this delta S0, okay then the analytic continuation along gamma S is the same as analytic continuation along gamma S0. This is what we prove in the in a lemma in the previous lecture. In words to state that we prove to state what we proved was is that if analytic continuation exists along a path then analytic continuation will also exist along sufficiently close paths and all these analytic continuation will really lead to the same function at the ending point I am just using that lemma, okay. The only thing is that this delta will now this depends on that path S0, gamma S0, okay. So if I use that so what I get from this if I use that lemma is that so in fact you know in fact what we if you go back to the if you go back to the proof of that lemma what we proved was that the analytic continuation at gamma S of T the analytic function you get at gamma S of T is the same as the analytic function you get at gamma S at a gamma S0 of T, okay because what we did was we actually defined on a close sufficiently close path we defined an analytic continuation by simply writing out the power series expansion at that point, okay. So in fact the analytic continuation the function you get at ST is literally the same function that you get at S S0 T for S sufficiently close to S0. So let me write this in fact going back to the proof of that lemma of that lemma the function f ST is the same as the function f S0 T as functions S such that mod gamma S of T minus gamma S0 of T is less than delta S0 for all T, okay. So this is again going back to the proof of that lemma, right and so you know so what this tells you is that you know if you if you take if you take S sufficiently close to S0, alright then you are getting all for any value of T the analytic function you are going to get is the same for a fixed value of T, okay all for all these S which is close enough to S0 and for any fixed T the analytic function f ST is the same as f S0 T, alright. Now what I want you to understand is that but you see if T prime is close to T of course f ST prime is the same as f ST and f S0 T prime is the same as f S0 T that is also true that is because it is a analytic continuation, analytic continuation is required that as the T variable comes close to a particular value then the analytic functions given by the power series also coincide, okay.  So in other words there exists a neighbourhood around S0, T0 where all f ST represent the same analytic function and call that function as G, call that function as G S0, T0, okay then R of RG S0, T0 of that is radius of convergence of the power series of G S0, T0 at the point S, T is just RST, RS of T in our notation is a continuous function of S, T in that neighbourhood by dilemma, by dilemma so you know I will call this is I will say lemma star so I will label this lemma star, this is this lemma star, okay not to be confused with the lemma of the previous lecture, okay this lemma star is the lemma that if you take an analytic function in a domain then if you expand the analytic function as a power series at each point then the corresponding radii of convergence will be continuous will be a continuous function of the point. So you know there is a small neighbourhood here where all the f STs here all the f STs represent the same function G S0, T0 what it means is if you take the image of this neighbourhood here, okay you will because of the continuity of f I can find a small enough neighbourhood here into which the image of this neighbourhood goes, okay and for all points in that neighbourhood you are actually expanding the same function G S0, T0 in this neighbourhood which contains that neighbourhood, okay. See you take this point gamma S0 of T0 which is the image of the point S0, T0 which is the image of the point S0, T0 under f, okay then you take a sufficiently small neighbourhood of gamma S0 of T0 where this G S0, T0 lives. See after all G S0, T0 is an analytic function which is it is not defined here, G S0, T0 lives here so it is this so this is the point at which G S0, T0 is analytic, okay G S0, T0 is analytic at this point which is the point gamma S0 of T0, okay it is analytic there and there G S if you in that neighbourhood if you take any point and if you write the power series expansion of this G S0, T0 at that point and look at its radius of convergence then the radius of convergence is a continuous function of the point, okay. So the radius of convergence of G S0, T0 at each point in this neighbourhood surrounding gamma S0, T0 is a continuous function of the point gamma S of T but gamma S of T is a continuous function of S of T because it is actually f. So R of R S of T becomes a continuous function of S and T, okay. So in fact so let me write that properly so to in fact there exist a neighbourhood of gamma S0 of T0 where G S0, T0 is analytic and the radius of convergence of the power series expansion T G S0, T0 at gamma S of T is a continuous function of gamma S of T in that neighbourhood of gamma S of T0, okay this is what I am saying, right. And R S T is actually and R S of T is actually the radius of convergence of the power series expansion of G S0, T0 at the point gamma S of T which is continuous function. So and mind you this is just R composed with I am here now I am thinking of R as composed with f of S of T because f of S of T is gamma S of T, okay. So it is a composition of f, f is continuous and R is continuous therefore composition of continuous function so it is continuous. So you know R is indirectly a function of S of T so I wrote it directly there but if you want it more explicitly I have written it here, okay this is the reason why R is a continuous function of S and T, okay. So what I have proved is R is a continuous function of S and T locally, okay but that is enough to say that it is continuous globally because continuity is a local property, right it is a property that can be verified at each point in a neighborhood of each point. So I have proved this claim, okay so I have this claim that R S T is a continuous function of S, T in this rectangle, okay. Now how do I proceed? I proceed in the same way I simply take the image of that rectangle and under R and I notice that the image will again be a compact interval and it will have a minimum and I am going to call that minimum as delta, okay. So you know so R S of T is so this settles the claim that R S T is continuous in S T varying in this rectangle and take the image under R of rectangle, okay. See this rectangle, this rectangle is anyway compact and connected, the rectangle on the plane is a compact and connected set of course it is a connected set because it is actually path connected, any two points can be joined by a path in fact even by a straight line if you want, okay and so it is connected certainly and it is compact because it is closed and bounded because I have taken the closed rectangle. So it is compact and I have a continuous function R defined on this compact set, okay so the result will be the image under R of this compact set will again be a compact subset compact connected subset of the real line. So it will again be a closed interval in the real line, okay and of course R is always positive so I am going to get a closed interval with minimum with left hand point greater than 0, okay. So which will be delta, delta with delta positive, okay so this is where I use the continuity of R, I need the continuity of R to say that the image under R of this rectangle is you know compact and connected and a compact connected subset of R is just a closed interval and of course this R refers to various radii of convergence, they are all positive radii of convergence. So the R values are always positive number 0 therefore there is going to be a minimum value of R that is going to be small delta and there is also going to be a maximum value of R that is capital delta, okay. Of course you know in all these situations I am really not worried about the case when at some point you know you get a power series whose radius of convergence is infinite, okay. So you must always remember that see you always see me writing the small delta capital delta, this capital delta tells you that you know the R is finite, the radii of convergence of finite and you know radii of convergence of finite means that at the circle of convergence there is a singularity for that analytic function because if there were no singularities the radius of convergence would have become infinite, okay. So always when the radius of convergence is finite on the circle of convergence there is a singular point for that function there is a point beyond which you cannot extend that function, okay. So there is a point at which you cannot extend that function so there is a singularity. So you always see me writing this delta here capital delta and I just wanted to make this remark that you know I am never looking at the case when radius of convergence is infinite because if radius of convergence is infinite it means that one of the functions you are that occur in the analytic continuation is entire. If one of the functions is entire then there is nothing to continue because an entire function can be continued everywhere. So you know you are not going to you are not going to get you are not going to get anything you are only going to get that function no matter how you analytically continue it, okay it is going to be just direct analytic continuation just extension of that entire function to the whole complex point. So there is nothing to prove, okay so all these things become interesting only when the radius of convergence are all finite, okay. The radius of convergence become infinite even for one point all these results they become trivial there is nothing there is really no real question there to answer, okay. So that is the reason I am always thinking of r positive and finite, okay fine. So now comes the now that I have that I have this delta see now I am in very good shape so you see how I use this delta is as follows what I do is I have this you see this rectangle that I have A B cross C D you see I can actually divide this rectangle into by a series of lines parallel lines you know S0, S1, S2 and so on some S k and so on so that you know well maybe I rather call this line as S0 that corresponds to C then I have S1 I call this as S2 call this as S3 so maybe instead of writing it here I will write it here this is S1 this is S2 well and this is S3 and so on then I end up with S k and finally I end up with S well some n capital N which is D alright and of course this value will correspond to S n minus 1. So I can find these S's in such a way that you know if you take the image of each of these rectangular strips okay you will get a piece of this homotopy leaf there is a piece of this leaf like this region in between these 2 paths such that you know the distance of the points corresponding to given T is less than delta okay so let me write this so let me draw this diagram first so here is how the diagram is going to look like so you know so this is gamma S0 which is just gamma C this is gamma S1 then I will have gamma S2 and so on then finally I have this is gamma S sub N which is just gamma sub D and this guy here is gamma sub S n minus 1 okay I can find these values starting from S0 to S n for sufficiently large n such that you know you give me any value of T give me any value of T then of course the image of something like this will be something like this well if I draw it will be something like this okay that this will correspond to a given T alright it will be a it will be this point this first n point Z0 when T is A and this thing will collapse to the terminal point Z1 when T equal to B but in between the image of this line segment will be something like this that will also be a path connecting a point connecting this the point corresponding to T in the first path with the point corresponding to T in the last path okay and but the point is that you know if you take any 2 successive points the distance of those points is less than delta okay so you can find such a finite collection of points okay so there exists there exists S0 equal to C strictly less than S1 and so on lesser than S n minus 1 is equal to D such that for every T for every T in AB the distance between gamma S of T and gamma S prime of T is less than delta for S, S prime belonging to any sub interval Si, Si plus 1 i equal to 0 and so on up to n minus okay you can divide you can divide this rectangle into small thin rectangular strips with this property this is purely by compactness okay okay so it is a compactness argument that you can further expand and try to write down but it is intuitively obvious and easy to write down so you can do this now once you have done this once you have realized that you can do this the proof of the theorem is over because you see what will happen is you see because the distance between because the distance between all the paths in between gamma Si and gamma Si plus 1 is less than delta they will all define the same analytic continuation okay that again the proof of that is again following the proof of the lemma of the previous lecture. So what will tell you is that on each for each of these pieces the analytic continuation along the upper path is the same as the analytic continuation on the lower path and then you go by induction okay so the analytic continuation along gamma S0 is the same as analytic continuation along gamma S1 the analytic continuation along gamma S1 is the same as the analytic continuation along gamma S2 and by induction finally you will get that the analytic continuation along gamma S0 is the same as analytic continuation along gamma SN. In other words analytic continuation on gamma gamma Si which is gamma is the same as the analytic continuation along gamma D which is eta okay and that proves the monodermithia ok. So what you must understand is that uhhh it is a kind of uhhh cleverly playing upon the ideas of the lemma that we proved in the previous theorem and also critically using the fact that the radius of convergence is a is a continuous function that is a very critical fact that you keep using and also uhhh let me again uhhh repeat the uhhh the main idea in the proof of the lemma of the previous lecture was that you know if you take sufficiently close paths then there is only there is a there is a unique penalty continuation on that path and it is simply defined by expanding the the relevant function on the given path into a power series ok. So uhhh if you if you take 2 nearby paths and if I have this analytic continuation along the path gamma S0 on along a nearby nearby path gamma is the analytic continuation how is it defined it is very simple what you do is you simply define the analytic continuation by simply expanding this function at gamma S0 of t0 at gamma S of t0 and you do this for every t0 ok. So uhhh the fact the the whole idea is you know if a function is analytic at a point it lives in a neighbourhood and therefore that function itself can be used to define power series in paths in that neighbourhood ok. So it so in other words if you have a path and you give me a point on the path and you give me an analytic function at that point then there is a disk by definition of analytic there is a disk where the function is analytic and whenever there is any other path which passes through the disk along the portion of the path which passes through the disk I can simply define the analytic continuation to be the power series expansion of this function that lives ok that and that is a crucial this is a very very crucial idea ok. So that is a crucial idea that is being used and also the idea that the radius of convergence is uhhh uhhh is a continuous function of the of the point ok. So so let me write down uhhh by the uhhh uhhh proof of the lemma of the previous lecture uhhh analytic continuation continuation along gamma si is the same as that along analytic continuation of f along gamma si is the same as that along gamma si plus 1 uhhh for every i starting from 0 to n minus 1 thus analytic continuation continuation uhhh of f along any gamma s leads to 1 and only 1 function at z 1 and that is the proof of the monotomism. So let me again at the risk of repetition let me again stress the whole idea is if you have a path and at a point uhhh gamma of t if you if you have if you are given an analytic function f s uhhh I mean f t analytic function here then if you have any other path which hits this disc where f t lives along this path along the portion of the path from here to here leaving out the end points there is this f itself has a trivial analytic continuation along this that is the whole idea that uhhh is being used again and again and you are of course crucially using very very crucially the fact that the analytic continuation along a path is unique once you fix a parameterization of the path the analytic continuation is unique for a given starting function okay you cannot have two different analytic continuation with the same starting function for the same parameterized path that is one important fact the other important fact is the radius of convergence that varies continuously uhhh as as the uhhh it is a continuous variable of the point where you are expanding or writing the power series about okay so these are crucial points so I will stop here.


I think the idea of handing over to the Holy Spirit is just this opening up to this experience of guidance and it's just that the ego misuses the concept so much and can the I am guided, I am guided concept and the words can be used and misused and so on and so forth and it's kind of best like that. When I go to particularly Europe, when I've gone to Sweden and different countries in Europe there's just been so many seeming centuries of misuse, we'll say, seeming abuse of these religious symbols that there's a huge burnout. You know, the church attendance has been on the decline for a long time because of the bad taste that people have in their mouths around the whole idea of church. You know, it's like a four letter word operating in the air. One of our friends is coming, Sarah, she's from Ireland and so the whole history of the Protestants in the Catholics is so much a church thing per se as it was this fighting and fire bombing and war going on for decade upon decade upon decade and finger pointing and everything, all in the name of Christianity. You know, it was just like a repulsion or a revulsion would be a very idea of using this symbol so that began a process of a lot of washing and cleansing hurt to really kind of get down to what's the spirits use of it kind of in a fresh and innocent way really leading to spirituality or to a true experience of peace, not theologies and stances and rituals and the politics of denominations and fighting and all this and that but it was a lot of washing that had to be done with those concepts So it really is a journey of unlearning and that's what these discussions and these devotionals are just opportunities for a speed up in terms of really washing the mind free of everything. For many they have a very positive connotation but even that can border on the kind of sensiveness and a comfort with certain things and then feels like you know, where some people can have like an affront much more with that, you know, where it goes the other way so it's just good.


Our next caller is Roxy from North Dakota. What's up, Roxy? How can we help you? Hi. I just had a question about hip dips. Okay. I recently started getting back into fitness in May, and as I started to lean out, I noticed some pretty big indents in the sides of my glutes. When I started looking up how to get rid of them, a lot of the research said that they were either genetic or bone structure or not really possible to get rid of. So I was just wondering if there were any exercises I could do to reduce the appearance of them or if they are genetic or what I can do. Okay. Butt dimples. That's what I call them. Yeah. Sal's got cute ones. I got a really nice one. So, Roxy, great. I love this question because it's going to allow us to highlight a few things. First off, I've seen the question that you sent us, that you're doing all the best butt-building exercises. You're doing hip thrusts, squats, deadlifts. So you're doing the right kind of butt-building exercises. You started working out in May, so it hasn't been that long that you've been super consistent. Yeah.  Or can you give us a rough estimate, do you think? I honestly have no idea. You look pretty lean from the video. I would say, without looking at the rest of you, you're probably in a pretty lean athletic category, especially if you could see. So when you're talking about hip dip for people watching this, literally it's the sides. It's under the hip bone, and it's kind of where, as you get leaner, you'll see it kind of come in a little bit. Now, I think you might be a little too critical of yourself if I'm being quite honest with you. That definitely is an area that, I mean, are there muscles you could develop there? Kinda. Is it going to change it much? Not really. You're doing the best exercise. I'd say be a little bit patient. You can gain a little body fat, and sometimes that'll fill in. But you also want to be careful that you don't analyze yourself in the mirror and start to pick yourself apart and notice little things that, maybe to other people, don't look like a problem at all.  Well, I have a couple. I mean, there's some things for sure. I saw that you are doing a lot of exercise, but one, I would ask, what does your rep ranges look like? How long have you been training in that rep range?  Okay. Yeah. No, I haven't gone on a bulk. I don't really track my calories. And rep range, I usually do about eight to 10 and three, or yeah, eight to 10, three times. Okay. And are you pretty consistent with that? Yeah. Okay. So here we go. I would love to see you lift in the five rep range. And I would love to put you on a bulk because you got to remember you're trying. So, and the side butt is kind of what we're alluding to to get that kind of heart-shaped ass, right? So that gives you that look on the side and you're doing some of the best exercises. But if you're always in that rep range and you're in a calorie maintenance or a calorie deficit a lot of the time, you're not going to build.  But if we want to build some muscle, build some shape, then we need a calorie surplus. And if you've also been training in that same eight to 12 rep range for a really long time, your body's probably pretty adapted to that. So dropping you down to the five rep range and loading, loading the bar more and then bumping your calories and then focusing on the exercise you're doing. I think you're doing great exercises, but I think it's important that you're phasing your rep ranges. And are you following any of our maps programs? I am not. Okay.  So I would love to hook you up with that and have you follow that to a T because in the program, we actually phase you in and out of rep ranges. And the first phase is the low rep range that I'd want to transition you into right now. So I would transition you into that. I would ask you to bump your calories a little bit and then see what happens from there. Now, Roxy, if I were to talk to somebody that knows you very well and that cares about you and if I ask them, do you think Roxy's a little bit too critical of her appearance? How would they answer me? For sure. Yeah, I give that a lot for my boyfriend. Yeah. Now, sometimes we need to listen to the people that care about us the most. Especially when it comes to how we judge ourselves and especially when it comes to appearance, especially when you're somebody that's into fitness because look, I've experienced this. You literally do not see accurately with your own eyes when you judge yourself. At least not the way you look at other people. I'm sure you look at other people and say, well, that person looks great or whatever. And then you look in the mirror and you start to really hyper criticize how you look. Don't go down this path. There's no way out and you'll never get to the point where you look perfect if this is the mental state that you're in. Adam has great advice. In fact, if you do what he's saying, focus on the strength. Don't focus on the mirror. That'll guide you in the right direction for sure. Have you ever worked out just focusing on getting stronger and watching the amount of weight that you can lift increase? Has that ever been a focus of yours? Has it always been aesthetic? No, I like seeing the numbers go up on the bar and everything like that too. I just, yeah, recently lost the weight so it's kind of been hard to not focus on the mirror so much. Yeah. Yeah. Time to bulk. Time to bulk. Definitely focus on that. And just allow yourself that kind of freedom to just go in there and just really just keep it just specifically on how much weight you're moving around and how much stronger you're gonna get. You're doing great exercises.  But it's just, I mean, if you don't give the body the right amount of calories to grow and build a butt, the butt's a muscle, just like your biceps is or shoulders. It's no different if a guy called me up and said, Adam, I have small shoulders. I want bigger shoulders. I assess his diet and his diet is at maintenance or in a deficit. The easiest thing I'd tell him is let's just increase your calories. But the challenge, especially for my female clients is when I tell them this, they also wanna stay as lean as they possibly are. And you just gotta be okay with, hey, we're gonna increase your calories. So we're gonna put a few pounds on, just trust the process. We can always reverse and go lean out again, but if the goal is to build a fuller, rounder butt. Yeah, feed your body. That's right. We gotta feed the calories it needs to build that muscle. And then if we inevitably put a couple pounds of body fat on along the way, which is inevitable and not a big deal and we reverse and go the other way, we're gonna lean out. Not to mention, in this process, you're gonna speed your metabolism up. Yeah, and the strength gains are objective, right? Your visual criticisms of how you look can be not objective, right? So that's why it's such a great place to be when you're seeing just strength go up and that's what you're focused on because you either get stronger or you don't. And I will say this, if you get stronger and you do it in a healthy way, the, what shows in the mirror is gonna change for the better, for sure. That'll happen automatically. Okay. All right, Roxy. Thanks for calling. Yeah, thank you. No problem. Man, that's a tough one. You know what? I feel like she was a little disappointed in our answer. Can you tell, Doug, did she have like a disappointed look on the answer? Yeah, maybe I think she wanted... Secret, secret exercise. Yeah, we're giving out the secret exercise. I mean, I could add some things.  So there's some exercises that we can include, but I think she's already, I guess we should tell the audience because the audience didn't hear it.   But this is an area that a lot of my female clients would struggle with and that is they wanna build their butt and they also wanna lean out. And those are conflicting goals.  So one of them needs a surplus of calories. And so you just gotta, if you really care about building that butt more, you gotta be okay with, hey, we're gonna try and put some weight on right now. That's inevitably what's going on. Well, and then this is kind of like, I don't know, I guess it highlights a little bit of the trap of Instagram and you know, really just like the comparison trap. It's the thief of joy, right? So you're always comparing yourself to what you see and you're not happy with what you have.  Totally. No, that's great balance for us to do. Cause I mean, there's two sizes. 100% Sal is right and that we've got to be careful because that's the never ending goal. You'll always just like the guy who is our girl who's chasing a certain amount of wealth and they realize that they just keep stretching, they just keep the, and you see this in bodybuilding a lot too. I'm not big enough, not big enough, not big enough.  And one thing I used to love doing is we would take pictures sometimes, right? So I'd have these old pictures from 12 years ago and I would love to do this cause I get clients, this is something we all struggle with. And my client would say something like, you know, oh man, I don't look good. I don't like the way it, whatever. And I'd say, man, I remember when you used to say that to me 12 years ago and I pull out a picture and they look at it and go, wow, I really thought I looked terrible. I looked great. And it's like, you could be objective cause it was so long ago. So you get caught in this trap and fitness does not improve your life. It becomes a detriment to you. So sometimes you have to remove yourself. One of the best ways to do that is just focus on getting stronger. Now that being said, you know, cause that's the, there is also some things that could potentially be the main reason why she's not building her butt. Low calorie, same rep range. If she's been doing that for months or years and she, and these same exercises, same rep range and living in a calorie maintenance or deficit. I mean, you simply give her a few more calories, change up a couple of exercises for the glutes, drop her rep range. Drop her rep range and change the tempo.

If dyfod eich cyflinkwadau a'r cyflinkwadalalol that you want to make sure gets into, that the fix gets into Lenny, then you should talk to them. I think it's testing-security at listslotsdewing.org. So normally we can offer advice on what to do and help get this fix into Lenny for you. So, unblocks. This is what people are mostly asked for on our list anyway. I should point out that this image was one of the first ones on Google image search when I searched for unblock. Llywodraeth hyn oedd ychydig wedi gwahodd yn ymdilloddiad fan hyn.

Roedd roi'r trofyn yn ei hadegol, a oedd nhw yn gweithio'r troll yn gweithio. ond we find pre-approved fixes, so stuff we've already said okay too. Now to get that, you basically, if you talk to us on debian-release at list.debian.org, then you can get, then we, it's a good way to get any particular fixes you have in mind. Generally the most important thing is just to talk to us and get information about what you'd like in there. So how to ask for changes? Generally you may all debian-release at list.debian.org. I will be repeating this quite a few times because this is the most important thing I can stress throughout this talk, is that you talk to us and we are able to work out what's going on. Having random patch sets arrive and we have no idea what's going on and then people ask us to unblock them, doesn't really work too well. So don't make, first one is don't make unrelated changes. You should only make changes for the fixes that you want in, so don't rebuild the package, change to CDBS from debhelper, introduce a new patch system and yes I have all seen these in the past week. And explain why you need it. So we want to see bug numbers, deb diffs, change log extracts, just saying please unblock X is normally not good enough because we have no idea why or what it fixes and it creates a lot more work for us at a time when we're all really quite busy anyway. Normally mentioning the package name is helpful as well. I'm not going to mention any names but normally telling us what you'd like unblocked is quite useful. And again if in doubt just mail us and ask us. We also have an RC channel which I'll get to in a bit but the preferred method of contact is via the mailing list. So what you don't get unblocks for. Things like the top one where you have 12,000 insertions and 7,000 deletions across almost 100 files. This generally doesn't get an unblock unless there's a very good reason. The issue with unblocking things is we have to review the change set between each of those and if we have that much to do generally we'll just say no because we don't have time to go through all of that unless there's a very good reason and it's been very explicit. Bumping debing compact can cause interesting effects even if you go from very low number to the latest number. This does change the build system and how things work. It's generally frowned upon to change that unless it's been extensively tested. And again you should mention this in your mail source if you do have to bump it for a good reason then just tell us and we'll see what we can do with that. NMUs seem to be overwritten. Try not to redact the change logs and ignore previous NMUs Try not to acknowledge them and use the latest versions. For example changing the build system again is another example of something that shouldn't be done. New binary packages introduced new upstream versions. Generally try and keep your change sets and the delta between the two fairly small and then we should be able to include it in the next release. So if we have what we call stuck packages items which normally we prefer everything to go via unstable sometimes this obviously isn't possible which is why we have testing proposed updates. So sometimes you can't put your package through unstable. Examples of this would be if there's unstable changes already in unstable like you've got a new three new upstream versions sat there compared to the version in Lenny and it's just been uploaded and there's a problem or there's a big library transition and there's an incompatible change rate. Now to get round this you can update via testing proposed updates as I mentioned which will put an item straight into testing so it won't go via unstable with normal routes. It will get auto built but it's very important that you contact us especially as if we try and if we see a package come into testing proposed updates and we're not sure what architectures it's built for or get a bit confused as the way testing proposed updates works currently is that it will just put the package straight into testing without checking that all the architectures are there and then you end up with quite a broken package. So it is very important that you talk to us and tell us what's going on and check that we can put things straight into testing for you that way. So removals this one's caused quite a bit of discussion recently on various lists. The most important thing to remember is RC bugs equals removals. Just make sure that your RC bugs are fixed or you're mailing the bug regularly and that we can see that some progress going on. Optional and extra if it's RC buggy for greater than a week it's subject to removal. Again for the others if it's great if it's RC buggy for more than 20 days and there's no activity if it's a leaf package etc these are all subject to removal. That said there is no guarantee that any package will necessarily ship with any. If it's buggy or if there's other problems with it then it may get removed. It's important to note that we don't take removals lightly there's always various reasons for it and there's discussions on the lists that I'm sure everyone will be able to find about why packages were removed. A new policy which I'm not sure is officially up but it's all been brought up is that if it's been orphaned for more than two releases this is similar to the new FTP master policy of dropping an archive out of the architecture if it's not been there for a couple of releases. A new one is we had a look at the huge amount of orphan packages that just haven't seen any updates or any uploads. It doesn't seem anyone cares about them because no one's maintaining them. So if it's been missing for more than or equal to two releases then it's subject to get dropped out of the archive altogether. Now if a package has been removed recently and you have a particular update so if it's been RC buggy or failed spill from source and you have a fixed package that does this if you then upload it to unstable it will be blocked and it won't be going into testing. That's normal. If it's fairly recently so we can see it's only recently gone so there won't be too much regression. If you mail us an ask us again we can always get it pushed back in. Once again the important thing is mail an ask us. Now I keep talking about these RC bugs because it is one of the most important things we have for Lenny. It's one of the main criteria that we shouldn't have any RC bugs when we ship. And this is the sort of current status. We do have as of last night 378 RC bugs still open which is quite a few really. If we have a look at the quick graph it's that. Now this has led some people to work out when we'll release and try and work out various states based on that. And the current thinking is 2906 which is a little bit delayed from what we'd have preferred thanks to that man. Mr Bastion anyway. So the realistic question is when do we release? There's a couple of different methods of trying to work out when we'll release. There's our original timeline which says we'll release in three weeks. Now with about 380 RC bugs that's approximately 130 a week or so. So 20 odd a day. So who feels like fixing some RC bugs? To meet a three week deadline we'd have to fix about 20 RC bugs a day and not get the rest of them done. Which is quite a sobering prospect I certainly didn't realise that we'd be quite so up against the wall in terms of time. Unfortunately the various announcements have said we're due to release internally. They've said we're due to release in September. So that adds another couple of weeks. Five weeks. Still not too long. The official release announcements have said we're due to release in the second half of 2008. So we can still meet that by quite some way. But the most important thing is to get this RC bug count down. So to get them fixed and not introduce any more hopefully. So a bit of contact information. There's firstly our website which is release.debin.org. This contains various bits and pieces of information, our policies, a little bit about the architectures which I will mention. And what release goals we have, what we consider RC buggy, et cetera. There's mailing list which should be a primary contact point for the release team. It will allow you to ask for unblocks. It will allow you to ask questions. It's the preferred method of communicating with us. And we also have the hashdebin release channel on RC.debin.org where there's normally a few of us around. I should, though, point out for unblock requests should definitely go to the list. There's various information in the topic there that might redirect you to various other places. So please read that. But if you just want to inform or chat or just to work out what we're talking about, then that's a useful one. And unfortunately, with 15 minutes in, I seem to have run out of slides. I did say this was a rather rushed up talk. So I suppose I should open the floor to any questions or any particular concerns anyone has. If not, I will be dragging up one of the other release assistants to give some more talk. Ah, we do have a question. Thank you. I have a question because I noticed that I was using one package on a server and was not aware, on edge, that it was removed for Lenny because of RC bug. So I took over the package and it's fine now and it is fine for me personally. But it shouldn't be a release goal to take at least those packages which are running on edge to keep if they are now in a good shape but was not before the freeze. So the question is should we make sure that we don't lose any packages between releases? To enable smooth upgrades for releases? That's an interesting one. If we carry on along that set, then we can never get rid of old packages. For example, the GTK transition from GTK 1 to 2. Some packages just don't seem to be interested in performing that. For example, XMMS is going to be stuck with GTK 1 and we can't keep that released. Of course, we do like to try and ensure that functionality exists between releases or equivalent packages are there. You can run on your own system if you are in Lenny. I think it's RC Alert, which will tell you if items are RC buggy. I learned this functionality just yesterday. It is great that we have the script. That could be documented better. If there is a package that's really important to you? The situation is different between the GTK 1 issue and the XMMS issue. It is fixed not yet. These packages are broken anyway. If we now realize that we could get a package in good shape which was an edge and just was lost in space and nobody cared about it but we have now a good package. Would it make sense to put it in the release or not? It may be possible. It depends on why it was removed. If those are fixed and it was fairly recently removed. If it now seems that there is quite a lot of interest in the package then it could be reintroduced. It is not a lot who is interested. It does have to be taken on quite a case by case basis. Thank you. There has been an idea about what Andreas just said. It would be to add a cron script in Dev Scripts. Every developer would have it running on his machine to monitor the new RC bugs and the newly opened packages amongst the package that are locally installed. That would allow everybody interested in the development to have an overview of what is currently going to be broken amongst the packages that he uses. Currently it's true that it's really hard to have a global view of that. Currently it's quite controversial because people say that we shouldn't add a cron job to Dev Scripts. I'm not sure what the majority of people will think probably it will just be a matter of the one who can do it, and it will be disabled by default or enabled by default, but you could disable it. Yes, I certainly remember that. We certainly used to have a list of RC bugs go to DDA, I think it was, until there was complaints that people were getting too much information about RC bugs, which I'm not quite sure how it's so important if you can't get too much information about it. One of the main things I would like to push is that release critical bugs mean that your package will not ship with the next stable release. If you have an RC bug it is important that it gets fixed, and it gets fixed promptly. These are bugs that are so severe that the package will not ship. It just won't ship, we won't support it for the users, so it is something that does need fixing. To try and cement that in minds of everyone would be very, very useful for us. Again, this is now in, I believe it now goes to Debbie and Develle. Does it? Sometimes it goes to Debbie and Develle. I'm actually, that's Steiner Gundersen who's done most of the hard work on the RC bug alert, the debug side of that. I'd have to check again where exactly it's going. The reason why we didn't send it to DDA is because it, I think it was the WMPP alert, was all stuck together and people just drowned in it. They didn't actually ever look at the RC bugs that were there. They just sort of said, yeah okay, it's the same email again this week, delete or mark is read and no one really paid much attention to it. Rather than flooding DDA with information that no one looked at it was decided to split it would be better. One thing I would like to try and get done is once these RC bugs get low and get to zero so we can release is then try and keep it at a very low level. So when RC bugs do occur it should be quite an unusual event and they do get fixed quickly trying to keep this count low so we don't go up to a few above 500 or 600 or so because then when you get to that sort of scale it just gets lost in the noise that there's so many RC bugs and people don't know where to start. So trying to keep these at a manageable level and make sure the RC bugs really get fixed as soon as possible could be useful. Yeah I could go back to the dev scripts RC alert. One of the other things that you can easily do is just look at the overview of your own packages at qa.wm. I mean I assume almost everybody. Does anybody here not know about that? No okay I didn't think so. So I mean far more useful than the cron job because you can look at it when you have the time and I don't know I have dev scripts installed on about 20 machines each of which has mail. I think that's the problem that we're trying to solve here is that most developers only care about their own packages and we're trying to get developers to care about at least the package that they use but they're not maintaining so that would be the point of having such a cron job because on your DDP page you only see... Yeah sure it's easy to write yourself but if you provide it a dance point was everybody could write it Yeah okay I know it's wine line but if you have that script you can then improve it and get more useful information in it like the list of packages that were removed from testing and that are still unstable and that you use. So well and if you provide it then people will run it if you ask people to write it and to enable it themselves some people will do that but most people won't do just a... perhaps not. Okay yes as Lukas said you have to have this script and you have to advertise this script because until yesterday I wasn't aware that there was a script and I just found four packages I could easily take over which do not make much work so I just use it and they are often and if we would add to the monthly posting which work should be done I don't know how they are called just run this script or if we enable this by cron job or make some more noise about this we could get much more input by developers who just not know what happens in this case. Okay so there's various useful scripts we've got I mean how many people read the release updates that we send to Devin developer now hopefully once a month it's quite few and how many people read right to the end of those a few less. We always try and include now a little snippet at the end with hints for developers that mention various hints and tips so we've got various scripts and items like that I'm not sure if RC Alert has the RC Bug Alert has been included but certainly others have possibly not putting them right at the end is the best but that's normally where we release normally where we announce the code names for the next releases as well so we do try and keep a little bit of motivation for everyone to read them. Is that working? Okay. Some another topic I just mentioned a comment by Zobel on IOC he mentioned that maybe not all RC buggy packages will be removed such as build-ups essential or such stuff anyway that was a side comment another topic I wanted to raise I'm not a specialist of this but I have not heard about it is the kernel and DI what are their place in that release process? I'm quite worried about these topics currently DI has been released quite two months ago is not yet released and not released with the 2.6.26 kernel so how will that fit in a three weeks process? Yes, again this has also been as I'm sure if people read the release list and the DI list and demo boot it's quite a contentious issue working out we have three different camps which are involved quite heavily in a release we have the release team which is obviously managing the general infrastructure of the release and what packages go in we have the DI team who are managing the installer and we have the kernel team who are trying to stabilise on a particular kernel now within those three teams we can easily have 6 or 7 different opinions as to what we should do especially with the latest what version of kernel we should have and how that manages with the DI team at the moment certainly the release team we try and work closely with the DI team as closely as we can The main problem I see is that the DI team is currently shrinking a lot I think that some of you have seen Joey's announcement on his blog Franz Popp also mentioned some stuff that it will not work that much for the Dylan Lenny release so I would like to raise something here DI is not that ready for release and we probably need a lot more manpower and testing, testing, testing anything for DI because my current feeling that's maybe personal is the current DI is not as good as the H installer was it's probably more buggy so we are likely to release with a more buggy DI if nothing more happens and Otavio is doing a great job Jeremy Bob your also is doing a great job with DI but mostly alone which did not happen in the past in the past there were more people involved in DI So one particular question would possibly be working out why at this stage three weeks before the planned release date it is buggy I don't know was it a surprise that we should be releasing actually this time of people being assuming that the deadline we set wasn't real deadline or what? I don't think there is any surprise here this is more or less something we could suspect already one year ago that the manpower in DI was already starting to decrease and well this is something you can do that much if the manpower is decreasing you cannot bring easily more people around so we were suspecting that already the DI releases they were planned beta one, beta two they were planned to be very close together and there was like three months between two so that was also already a signal and the RC one is nearly ready but certainly not for a three weeks schedule I think I tried to bring Otavio on ISC but he's not around so I make this comment on my own and I'm not the DI release manager I'm feeling quite unsafe on that topic sorry for the delay Mark on a more lightly subject if we are three weeks or a month or two months away from the release we will need a new name in three weeks, a month, two months do you have the name? before I was brought up to this talk this morning I was asked by Clint on ISC what the release name for Lenny is going to be so I can now tell you Clint that the release name for Lenny is Lenny he did ask for it unfortunately I have absolutely no idea this is one for the release managers in their shiny purple suits that lot they get to decide who the release managers are namely the ones at the right hand side and at the front that's a look in HE get to decide what the next one's going to be I know that at the previous FOSSTEM meeting we did have HE was asking for the release to be called RC Buggy but that does seem to have been linked to experimental now by our lovely FTP masters at the back especially Ghana for that who I'm sure is going to give you a nice big wave there's been various other ones talked about but honestly I have absolutely no idea what it's going to be I believe there was a slight issue with the etch release one of the reasons the current BTS command, BTS system doesn't recognise the tag Lenny ignore is I believe because we didn't tell anyone the name of the next release until after etch reshipped or something so there may be a problem with that Yeah so someone has to tell it on again I have absolutely no idea I'm afraid so anyone else? I don't know if you read my blog post of this week which I will try to summarise I feel that we are the release team tends to treat DDs bad by default which is quite strange for example you asked for reviews of everything that we want to get into Lenny because in other projects usually the social pressure of the other developers is enough even in big projects like GNOME the social pressure is enough to make DD to make developers do the right thing about getting things into in stable release I mean if in GNOME someone tries to push changes that are really clearly too much for the next release it just gets flamed and that's enough to prevent him from doing it and in Dembian what we do is we put a lot of load on the release team to review even minor packages that mostly nobody cares about and that's quite interesting that we can't solve this socially and we have to use a technical solution for that yep I certainly read the blog post I haven't had time to actually think about it much yet I was busy sticking hackagotchi heads on random photos instead of trying to prepare the rest of the talk as you can probably tell now all these issues mentioned here were found in one package that was Astroenum blog if it is I think this is it is possibly a social problem I don't necessarily agree that it's a technical hack around the social problem I do know a lot of release systems do involve code reviews and code freezes to try and make sure there's a period of stabilisation if we can get all maintainers paying more attention to the fact that only small changes and non disruptive changes are needed and that all our seat bugs are being fixed then that will make car life a lot easier at the moment I'm not sure it does exist is this something that can be solved easily I'm not sure certainly for the moment the freezes is something we've brought in quite a while ago to have a period of stabilisation if it can be solved by peer pressure that will certainly be interesting I'm not sure how well that scales with the amount of developers we have Mr question directly related to that what's the average percentage of the Act rejects that for propagation off the top of my head I'd say probably about 80% say get accepted so that basically goes directly at the whether or not we can remove the technical restrictions so there's 20% of people who don't quite know what should be put in or not so then the question is how do we work out what that 20% is without creating an unstable testing version right and also I mean how to avoid making changes is a good thing I mean we don't want to necessarily discourage that we just want people to realise that hey this change is destabilising upload to experimental or something I mean has anyone noticed that there's been any particular big delays with getting stuff unblocked it could only take a few days or even a week to get something unblocked which is not that much but it's not zero delay as well considering we have two years between releases right and also considering that so long as the unblock happens faster than the mandatory delay period in testing anyway or in unstable anyway it doesn't really make a difference so I mean considering most of the packages are uploaded with the 10 day delay then so long as it happens within 10 days it's fine also I should point out for larger packages we are now I think it's since the last release we now have a new hint called aged days so certainly with some larger packages which we normally wouldn't accept we can say set the aged days to 30 or so or any particular longer value which would help give them more stabilisation before they enter testing so that's also another possibility so maybe a difference between the social problem pressure in Davian and GNOME is that in GNOME every GNOME developer cares about the whole of GNOME more or less I don't think that many people in Davian would care for for example the proof assistant packages that I maintain in Davian they care what they think about is I don't know for example web applications and they have no literal interest in that kind of applications GNOME is less diversified again yes this is possibly a problem I think we are starting to see a larger move towards team maintained packages generally a larger team oriented way of developing things there seems to be a lot less emphasis of a particular package maintainers package is their domain and no one else can touch it there's been certainly quite a bit of emphasis on NMUs are not bad there are other people trying to help your problems and various wide ranging things which happen across the board so hopefully this will certainly help and people will become more aware of our overall goal which although some people may not agree with it is to actually well in my opinion is to actually release and get a release out to our users certainly one of my priorities anyway so we've got about 10 minutes left now so anyone any other questions or anything I guess not so thank you very much everyone


from North Central Technical College, Kaylee McCauley. Good evening, everyone. I am really excited to be here tonight. It is seriously such a privilege for me to be on the stage and listen to some powerful, powerful stories. My name is Kaylee McCauley. I'm 19 years old and I'm a nursing student at North Central Technical College. I just graduated high school last spring so it's not difficult for me to remember the busyness of applying for colleges. I was scrambling to fill out more or less the same college essay prompts and I was looking into nursing programs for every school I applied for. Just like everyone else, I thought that deciding where I wanted to go to college was exciting but also very stressful. I had attended NTC for my nursing assistant course in high school and I actually passed my state exam when I was 17 years old and so I've been working as a CNA ever since. Thank you. Throughout the course, I received clear expectations, study help from instructors and consistent assistance from advisors at NTC checking in on me and making sure everything was going well. I knew from the start that NTC was where I needed to be even while applying all over. Nonetheless, I kept my options open like people suggested to me and I applied to UW Oshkosh, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Stevens Point and Milwaukee and I was accepted into all of those schools but I still wanted to go to NTC and so speed ahead to the end of my senior year and if you guys can remember senior year at all, half of it spent studying and then the other half has been answering the question where do you want to go to school and what do you want to do with your life? And so I would get some pretty surprised looks when I respond to people and I'd say I want to go to NTC for nursing and a lot of people would say to me, well, why not Marquette? And I thought you'd choose Madison and this whole list of universities that they thought would be suited for me and so I really started to doubt my certainty in going to NTC and I started to think that maybe there was some validity when people were telling me that I might miss out on the college experience and dorm life and don't get me wrong. These comments came from well-meaning people who wanted the best for me but oh, I just started to resent that phrase, the college experience. I was under the impression that if you were taking college level courses, that is living the college experience and you know, if dorms were a part of somebody else's experience, that's great but it didn't have to be mine to be a possibility for me to have an authentic and valuable education at NTC. I noticed that when I was applying for all these different schools that the general application theme is what's special about me? Why should I be chosen? And what can I bring to a campus? And it more or less starts to feel like this never-ending competition and explanation of you know, am I academically capable enough and am I socially suitable enough to be at these schools? But NTC was the first school where I felt like they were bringing something to me and it wasn't just about what I could bring to the campus. There's the remarkably affordable tuition and scholarships are offered every single semester. Personally, I've been really fortunate to receive a scholarship every single semester I've been at NTC. Additionally, I could live at home and I could also work my job as a CNA and I could stay involved in the WASA community which was and still is very important to me. And you know, I figured if I am a student that's ambitious and driven, the location really isn't as significant. I'm going to be that whatever school I go to. And I wanted to become a nurse and I had to pick the school that was gonna give me the best chance at becoming a nurse and equipping me with the tools necessary to do that. And so in my experience, picking a trade school isn't inhibiting my college experience. It's just the start of my college experience. And so at first, when people would ask me what my plans were for my education, I would tell them that I'm going to NTC for nursing and then I quickly tack on how I want to go to grad school out of state and I want to be a nurse practitioner and I want to be in doctors without borders and don't get me wrong. I still have all those plans but now when people ask me where I go to school and what I want to do, I don't feel that pressure to reassure everybody that I have all these plans. I'm at NTC and I feel that my goals have only become bigger and my plans and confidence and making sure those goals become a reality has only become stronger. And so my name is Kaylee McCauley and I'm attending North Central Technical College for nursing and for now, that's enough.


Income tax 2022-2023, items that are not income. Let's do some wealth preservation with some tax preparation. Support Accounting Instruction by clicking the link below, giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website, broken out by category, further broken out by course. Each course then organized in a logical, reasonable fashion, making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again, click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Most of this information comes from the tax guide for small business for individuals who use Schedule C Publication 334 Tax Year 2022. You can find the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. For focused online, one income, remember in the first half of the income tax formula is in essence an income statement. However, just an outline of scaffolding other forms and schedules, rolling in, flowing into these line items, that being or one being the Schedule C, business income having in essence an income statement in and of itself, business income minus business expenses, the net then rolling in from Schedule C to line one income of our income tax formula. This is the form 1040. We're focused down here on line eight. The Schedule C would flow into the Schedule one, which would flow into line eight of the form 1040. This is a Schedule C profit or loss from business where we can see the income statement formats of income minus the expenses. Okay, we're focused on the income side of things for the Schedule C business income. We talked about the things that are included in income because in no team that from the IRS perspective, they think of everything as in essence income unless there's an exception from it having to be included in income. So when we think about income, oftentimes the questions are, is this something that is income? Is it exempt from income? If it is income, is it going to be business income? Something that's going to be on the Schedule C or possibly income that needs to be reported in some other location. Now we want to think about those items that are not income. The exceptions to the rules, the ones that the IRS are going to say there's some kind of exemption too. So items that are not income. In some cases, the property or money you receive is not income. So we have appreciation. Increases in value of your property are not income until you realize the increases through a sale or other taxable disposition. So when property value, for example, real estate is a common property value situation where over time it's not going to go down in value, but hopefully go up in value, which is different from most other business property that you will have because most of the other business property is likely equipment. Equipment will generally go down in value. It will depreciate in value as there's wear and tear on the equipment. Buildings and real estate then could go up in value. The building still has wear and tear, of course, but just the value of the property could go up. And then the question is, well, if something goes up in value, do I have to record that as income? And the general rule is not until you realize the increase in the value, meaning you actually sell it and at that point in time you've realized you've gotten the actual money or equivalent something other than money in payment for it. And part of the rationale for that kind of accounting method would be that if, say, a building goes up in value, for example, if you don't realize it by selling it, then you haven't really actualized. We don't really know exactly how much the building went up in value for and it could go back down with market swings as market swings basically go up and down. If they charged you the income when the building or asset went up in value, then they would be charging you income when you didn't actually get any money for it. And that could result in situations you can imagine where someone has a tax bill that they can't pay because they charged them taxes on income that went up that they didn't actually realize so they don't have the actual money because they didn't sell the asset in order to pay the taxes. And that's not the situation that we want to see. Also, of course, the increases and decreases in the value of property are just estimates. If we see something like a building, it's unique in nature. There's no other building that's exactly the same. We could try to estimate what the value of the building is, but until you actually sell it, we don't really know what the value is. All right, you've got consignments. Consignments are merchandise to others to sell for you are not sales. So the title of merchandise remains with you, the consignor, even if their consignee possesses the merchandise. So this is a situation where you have inventory, but you're going to give your inventory basically to someone else, not for them to own and then resell as their inventory, but in essence, you still own it as the inventory. So like artwork, for example, if you were to give that to a museum or give it to even like a restaurant or something for them to display, but you still own it because you're basically using that facility, that area to demonstrate it for sales. So they're going to try to facilitate a sale in that way. Then that's the situation. So therefore, if the ship goods on consignment, you have no profit or loss until the consignee sells the merchandise because they're selling it in essence on your behalf. Merchandise, you have shipped out on consignment, is included in your inventory until it is sold. So even though it's not in your warehouse, it's in another restaurant or a museum. It's still in essence your inventory because they're acting as kind of like your store for you to sell the merchandise on your behalf in essence, taking a fee of course for that. Do not include merchandise you receive on consignment in your inventory. Include your profit or commission on merchandise consigned to you and your income when you sell the merchandise or you receive your profit or commission depending upon the method of accounting you use. In other words, if you're the one that's receiving someone else's inventory and you're the one that's going to be selling it on consignment, then again, it's not your inventory in that case. If I have a restaurant and I'm going to display paintings in the restaurant that someone else owns, then I don't really own the paintings in that case. I'm trying to sell them by displaying them possibly in a museum or whatever, something like that. Okay, so construction allowance. If you enter into a lease after August 5, 1997, you can exclude from income the construction allowance you receive in cash or as rent reduction from your landlord if you receive it under both the following conditions. So under a short-term lease of retail space for the purpose of constructing or improving qualified long-term real property for use in your business at that retail space. That's a pretty special kind of situation for a special industry. Amount you can exclude. You can exclude the construction allowance to the extent it does not exceed the amount you spent for construction or improvements. Short-term lease. A short-term lease is a lease or other agreement for occupancy or use of retail space for 15 years or less. So when we talk about lease agreements, most of us are familiar with them from an individual standpoint where we lease for like a year is a common type of lease for like an apartment or something like that. But when you're talking about building space for businesses, oftentimes the leases are going to be quite longer and more in-depth kind of leases because clearly the business is going to want to lock down a particular space for a longer period of time. So once again, a short-term lease is a lease or other agreement for occupancy or use of retail space for 15 years or less. The following rules apply to determining whether the lease is for 15 years or less. So take into account options to renew when figuring whether the lease is for 15 years or less. When you come up with these kind of rules about a lease being a lease that qualifies a short-term or long-term or whether it be a lease or a purchase and these kind of things, you can structure these types of agreements to try to maneuver around the definitions by trying to structure it a little bit differently. These are substance over form kind of questions that come into play. So you've got to take into consideration if you're able to extend the lease quite easily and it's quite likely that you're going to extend the lease, then maybe it shouldn't be a short-term lease in actuality because although it's structured as a short-term lease, it's pretty clear that it's going to be longer than 15 years the way it's been designed. But do not take into account any option to renew at fair market value determined at the time of renewal. So meaning if at time of renewal they're allowing you to renew the lease at fair market value, then that would be, you would think, more of an arms-length transaction. But if they're saying that they're going to renew the lease at something that's far less than fair market value, you would think they're trying to do something funny formatting it as a short-term lease in form, but in actuality it's a long-term lease. So two or more successive leases that are part of the same transaction or a series of retail transactions for the same or substantially similar retail space are treated as one lease. Retail space. Retail space is real property, least occupied or otherwise used for you as a tenant in your business of selling tangible personal property or services to the general public. Qualified long-term real property. Qualified long-term real property is non-residential real property that is part of or otherwise present at your real retail space and that reverts to the landlord when the lease ends. Exchange of like-kind property. So here we've got that like-kind exchange situation. Generally, if you exchange real property used for business, so we're talking real estate here, generally here, real property, used for business or held as an investment solely for other business or investment real property of like-kind, no gain or losses recognized. So we're talking real property, not typically your home, right? In that case, so if you're thinking about the like-kind type of exchanges, then you want to think about under what circumstances is it, could I structure something as a like-kind exchange? There's a lot of material on that so you could dive into that in more detail if you want, you could do a whole course in and of itself on basically like-kind exchanges. So this means that the gain is not taxable and the loss is not deductible, so for more information you can see form 8824. Leasehold improvements. If a tenant erects buildings or makes improvements to your property, the increase in the value of the property due to the improvements is not income to you. So the increase in the value of the property that they worked on is not income. So however, if the facts indicate that the improvements are a payment for rent to you, then the increased value would be income. So they did something to the property, right? They increased the value of the property because they worked on something that's not necessarily income. Because you don't have to report the increase in the value of the property as increase until you realize it generally. However, if they did something that increases the value of the property and you forego their rent for doing that, then they basically paid you rent by doing that work, right? So in that case you would think that there would be an income situation. Loans. Money borrowed through a bona fide loan is not income. So clearly if you need to capital, if you need to capital money to grow your business, capital either comes from you, equity, or from the business itself, meaning the income in the business, you're putting that back in the business, or it comes from outside sources such as loans. So loans are an inflow of cash at some point, but they're not going to be income because there's something that you're going to be paying back. They're going to be similar to basically renting a building or something like that because you're renting the purchasing power of something to purchase something, equipment if it's a business loan so that you can then use that equipment to generate revenue in the future and you're going to have to give the money back plus the rent on the money called interest, therefore it's not income when you got the money. So sales tax. State and local sales tax imposed on the buyer which you were required to collect and pay over to state or local governments are not income. So sales tax obviously like a usage tax, so you are the tax collector then of you're required to be the tax collector of in the United States the state or local area, the state and local sales tax because there's not generally a federal sales tax, it's the state and local thing which means that the tax in general or in theory is not on you as the business owner the tax is supposed to be on the person buying the goods and services just the tax collector. So you have to mark up the income with the sales tax and when you receive the increased price meaning if you were to charge $10 and you had to charge $12 you had to charge $2 of sales tax let's say that means that the $2 isn't revenue to you the $10 that you charged was revenue the $2 from a bookkeeping standpoint should go into a payable account sales tax payable and then you pay it to the government notice that you could the sales tax is a little confusing a lot of times because you could think of it as why don't I include the whole $12 as income and then when I pay the $2 out for sales tax I call that an expense so that would bring me back to the $10 $12 minus the $2 gives me $10 that's the same thing as just not recording either the expense or the income of the $2 and the reason we don't do that in theory is because again the concept is it's not income or an expense to you you're just a tax collector it's a non-income statement item you should put it on the books as a liability not as income and then when you pay the sales tax it's not going to be an expense and again as a bookkeeper or someone doing taxes you might get questions of people saying hey look I pay sales tax of sales tax to so I should have an expense of sales tax and you've got to then think well we'll know because if you properly didn't include the sales tax on the income statement then you're not going to have an expense of sales tax now if they did include income related to the sales tax they recorded the transaction at $12 instead of $10 they included the sales tax then you should reduce the income line generally to what it was including the sales tax so that actually gets a little bit messy tax software is helpful accounting software is helpful to properly calculate and track sales tax but sometimes people don't use accounting software so they have to come up with a system that works maybe without accounting software when they have to deal with sales tax and so you want to make sure you have an understanding of what's going on with it if you're dealing with sales tax


My name is Lula M. Evans. I'm 82 years old. I found out I had high blood pressure when I was 65 years old. I didn't know anything about high blood pressure. I heard of other people having high blood pressure, but not me. Most members are unaware that they have high blood pressure until we diagnose it because they may be symptomatic for quite a while. We have about 10,500 patients who have hypertension in our internal medicine department. About 8,800 of them are African-American. Lula Evans came into the blood pressure clinic one day and her blood pressure was pretty high and she was stressed because it was hard for her to get to clinic. My cousin takes me to Kaiser every appointment I have. We actually started a program for some patients where they have a little bit of difficulty getting to the facility. We give them a loan or blood pressure machine to take home. And we're able to make immediate medication adjustments or assess what their pressures have been and if they need to come in and see the doctor, they can do that as well. It worked out lovely for Ms. Evans because she could avoid having to come back every two weeks. She called me every day with her blood pressure readings. It's very convenient for me to have the blood pressure kit here with me. As soon as I take it, I will call her. She's so much happier now. And she told me she changed her diet and taking her medication. Working in a UBT is a gift to this department. Being able to have our frontline staff involved in the decision-making about how we're going to take on certain challenges in the department. I changed my eating habits. I am healthy.


So do you guys want an amazing Diablo IV farm where you'll earn tons of XP and levels, gold, legendary weapons and armor, well that's what I bring for you today. How's it going guys, my name's DPJ and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you're seeing and want to see more be sure to subscribe. Now before we get into it guys, if you're looking for people to play Diablo IV with join my discord, I'm trying to build a small Diablo IV family over there, so you'll come join, share builds, play together, farm together etc etc, my discord is linked down below. So I tested this real early on with what's known as a cellar, I'd basically complete it, kill everything within this cellar, collect all that gold, collect the loot, open that chest and then I'd simply quit out of the game then rejoin the game, I'd spawn at my nearest town, run back to said cellar in about 30 seconds and rinse and repeat the farm. Just leaving the game for some weird reason will reset the cellars, meaning you can farm them over and over and this is a great way to earn things as a basically new player. But I've also noticed this method actually works with dungeons, I noticed because I looked it up and saw a couple of other people a fan is out too, I stumbled across a channel called Majestic Movie Gaming, if you watch and play Diablo you probably already know about this dude but if you don't I'll link his channel down below, do check him out and show him some love. He posted a video showcasing a similar way but instead of quitting out of the game he'd simply leave the party he was in whilst inside of the dungeon as the party host, this would respawn him outside of the dungeon meaning he can run straight back in and farm it again and again but this does not work obviously if you're a solo player, you're playing by yourself, you have no party to leave but there is a way to reset enemies within a dungeon and do it pretty quickly and to do this guys simply exit out of the dungeon so leave the dungeon and then guys you want to quit out of the game and join back in. If you play Unnexed Gen or PC this is literally a 10 second turnaround, now there are many many dungeons across this massive map you can use this with but in my opinion the best dungeon to do this early on is Annika's dungeon located right here on the map. Now when you first come here which you can do real early on almost at any time there will be a stronghold here you will have to complete beforehand before you can even access these dungeons. Now the stronghold if I do remember rightly is a recommended level of 815 but if you're in a team you can do this much much easier but to complete this stronghold you simply have to check out the three school markers on your map, travel to these or in the vicinity of the stronghold and kill all enemies within them then head back to the center of the stronghold and take out this boss. It is pretty easy if you take him out from a far or if you have other means of doing so at close range where you can withstand his damage up close but once you do take him out kill any stragglers too then activate the wonder shrine and then this little area will then populate and become a place you can trade etc etc. You will now have access to this dungeon and it's called like I said Annika's dungeon this is where you want to be farming all of those pretty goodies. So enter the dungeon and then just do a full circle of this area as you can see on the map here there are many many enemies here some big dudes too who drop some outstanding loot but yes all you want to do is a circle of this area then guys you want to leave the dungeon as simple as that so do a circle of this area as you'll see me do now speed it up on screen open all those chests kill all those enemies collect all that gold collect all that loot then you want to leave the dungeon do not quit at the game where you're inside of the dungeon because if you do this it will spawn you at your nearest town which could be a two-minute run back to this dungeon so you want to leave the dungeon first so leave the dungeon then guys you want to quit at the game and join back into your game that way you will load back in right outside of this dungeon door meaning you can go straight back into it and then farm away and it really is as simple as that so yes leave the dungeon first then quit out load back in while you're outside of the dungeon you'll then spawn outside of the dungeon door allowing you to go back in to win to repeat this farm and again you'll get tons of amazing loot including legendaries tons of gold via drops and selling said gear that you don't need and also guys crazy amounts of XP if that's what you want to use this for remember enemies will scale with your level so you can use this for as long as you want also remember this can be done at any dungeon and I believe any place that drops loot like those sellers which is how I first figured this out now if you are in a party and you're the party host to reset this you don't have to quit at the game you simply just leave the party and it should respawn you right outside this dungeon door invite your teammates back into your party then to repeat the farm it really is that simple with your solo player like me run the circle in this anarchist dungeon leaves the dungeon quit at the game load back in rinse and repeat there's a nearby vendor we can sell that game you do not want to make tons and tons of money and there we have it guys an amazing Diablo 4 farm which will see you earning tons of legendaries tons of XP and much much more guys you've enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out if you like what you see want to see more Diablo 4 be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys I will see you on that next one


what's going on guys it's your boy dpj here today with another destiny video and in today's destiny video i'm going to try and predict what ze will be bringing tomorrow tomorrow bring the third of july 2015 my birthday is on the fourth i'm becoming an old motherfucker i'll be getting straight into the video from the titan i think he's gonna bring the external warrior helmet this costing will cost you 13 strange coins mods are more super energy from non-guarding kills replenish health when you pick up an orb and provides unstoppable four fists of havoc moving on to the hunter and i think he's going to bring the bones of eao which are their leg armors one of the two exotics i still need in the game mods are carrying more ammo for heavy weapons and upgrades double jump with an additional jump also upgrading triple jump with an additional jump also so your tripper jump will become a quad jump which is ridiculous and that's why i want to use these i want to get these fucking things i want to try that shit out i really do moving on to the warlock and i think he's going to bring the obsidian mind helmet increased grenade throw distance increased super energy gain from killing minions of the darkness and nova bomb kills reduce the cooldown of your next nova bomb a helmet i haven't really used to be honest i mean i've leveled it up but i never really used it i mean i just don't see the point of next nova bomb kills reduce the cooldown of the next nova bomb it don't work that great in my opinion this is a massive group of enemies grouped up which is pretty rare weapon of the week i believe is going to bring the su rush regime this is a auto rifle costing you well it will cost you between 17 and 23 strange coins now su rush regime there was once a pvp ever but it was run by the su rush regime it was the su rush era the auto rifle era now they nerfed auto rifles everybody su rush regimes is in their vaults just gathering up that dust and hopefully they they will come when they rebuff auto rifles and everybody would be running around the su rush regime it was way better than people running around the phone in the last word i mean it was just way way way better but yet su rush regime is the weapon i believe they will bring this week exotic shard comes to standard costing you seven strange coins and this is used to upgrade your pre-existing weapons and armors and then we have an exotic chest engram this will cost you 23 malts of life you will buy this you'll take it as a crypto i can hopefully get something you need out of it but guys that is what i think zeal will bring tomorrow tomorrow being the third of july 2015 guys let me know your predictions down below in that comment section also if there's one thing you could have zeal bring what would it be is there anything you need let me know what it is down below thanks for stopping by as always do drop a like i'd appreciate the support and peace out until next time peace
