I can't take ownership for a loss That would be ridiculous You know we don't do that around here We blame others and we blame the market when we take a loss Okay, so for Tronch 1 Look like the 44-55 straddle Another few seconds here Tronch 1 Straddle Here we come 690 Can I get a 690? Build it 690 on Tronch 1 44-55 straddle Someone sent me a message questioning Because they saw I think they were watching the replay and they saw Just my shorts on here And so then they saw Once I had all three Tronches on there Looking at margin requirement here and they said So you're using $2.7 million in buying power for these positions So Just so everyone's clear if you're new here No, that is not the case I buy the longs first I just uncheck them because they're going to most likely expire worthless You'll notice if I click on those Now this trade, for example, is about More like $28,000 That's what I left out, Wuga I forgot to check my Fibwap Damn it Guarantee DK is not in the Discretionary Rick today DK, are you 40,000 feet up right now too?

Hi, I'm Tom. I went to college with Peter. All of the lemonade. Thanks. Lemon, that sounds good. Yeah, I'll take one too. What time does the later movie start? I don't know. What can I get you to sit down? I'll have you to try. We have to book the right one. I don't know. I don't think the time is important. I'm not going to make the late show.


Islam dangerous to the world. It's a gross misrepresentation of the faith, redundant, and it's clearly Islamophobia.  Violence and dangerous actions can be used to establish the greater good. So it's the same thing for you. If you commit the crime in a Muslim state, obviously the state is going to come after you. If we want to go by your logic, then we should also accept that China oppressing Muslims and forcibly re-educating them and making them loyal minions of the Chinese totalitarian state is also not wrong and not bad because they are just doing what's best for them.  You should also turn around and say, you fellow Muslim brothers, you are actually spreading anti-Chinese hate. You are xenophobes. This is totally unacceptable. It's the same logic. Exactly. I'm not going to stop them. I'm not going to stop them because they're right. I can't do that. Well, you're being very hypocritical. That's the issue here.


I can only say madam speaker that they are not understanding this budget because I've been interacting with them, most of them are my colleagues and what they are saying they are just saying wait the president has said that he's pumping in more money in the economy and that is not understanding budget madam speaker. I wanted this and ministers to convince me how they are going to raise the revenue which will come into our economy. But what we have seen madam speaker we are just seeing the appetite of borrowing without even telling us how they are going to pay the money which they will borrow. Because 2026 if they are not going to pay this money I am coming to jail you all of you because you would have stolen from the people. Madam speaker I don't support this budget because this budget is just the booklet madam speaker containing exciting figures without giving the promise to the people of Zambia until it is implemented and we are going to say job well done. But for now madam speaker this is just a copy of any other paper. I thank madam speaker I don't support this budget madam speaker.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here, so we're going to talk about Jeepers Creepers reborn Jeepers Creepers 4 here and To start off with as you see in the thumbnail. Yes the VFX supervisor who worked on Jeepers Creepers 3 Jason Raymond he is going to be back in that chair or in charge of that I guess as it pertains to Jeepers Creepers were born This was something I discovered across a Facebook post that he put out Saying that he is currently working on Jeepers Creepers reborn as the VFX supervisor And he did also go on and say that it is still due out this year now What's interesting about that is how no one's sharing a release date I would I would imagine that there's already been a release date that has been set in stone as far as like screen What screen media wants to do? But we are just not being told what that specific date is because that's going to be told when the official press release For Jeepers Creepers reborn comes out whenever that comes out the next official one because there hasn't been one since February But going off of that Should we expect? Special effects that resemble what we got in Jeepers Creepers 3 I'll just be honest and say that yes, we should and I'm not saying that the effects couldn't have improved from From what they offered in Jeepers Creepers 3 But this person did the same thing with Jeepers Creepers 3 now Of course, I've checked to see if they're working with different people also to see if there's any other similar names working at the apartment There's definitely a lot of different names Misty Taley who I know edited Jeepers Creepers 3 who edited a lot of sci-fi original films She is not editing this movie thankfully and You know Jason Raymond and as far as like this visual effects department He was the only familiar name that I saw that worked on Jeepers Creepers 3 So there's a lot of good chances that we have not necessarily good chance But there is a hope that we won't have effects that are so Halfly put together like the stuff in Jeepers Creepers 3. It just looks unfinished.  Oh my gosh Just I I don't even want to think about the movie But going back to something else we need to talk about when you talk about Imran Adams Imran Adams who we know we all believe will be starring in the film as Chase The boyfriend of Lane who will be betrayed by Sydney Craven They will be traveling to the whorehound whorehound festival out in Louisiana And there they are of course going to be tormented by the creeper. We're assuming Lane gets abducted Chase will go after her Runs into Peter Brooks character who we know is named Stu. There's some other characters involved with it That I've talked about in my other videos But it looks like Imran Adams is indeed going to be playing Chase Just this is just more evidence that should have us even more convinced that he's playing Chase Not only just the image of course that we have seen of him in the car with Sydney Sydney Craven's character, but now I did stumble across courtesy of that post that the VFX supervisor posted someone confident saying that one of their talent members or one of their Clients was starring in the film as a lead. So then I went and did some digging on this person who runs this talent agency Leonie kibby Talent agent for a TTA She's just a talent. Y'all just say that and she's representing Imran Adams, so I found a post where she talked about Imran Adams and she says she's so proud of him And he's going to be starting in a in a feature film later Or she's he's just gonna be starting in a feature film that's coming up soon So going off of that post and the stuff that we've seen about that. She said the news would be coming soon He's been cast as a lead in a new movie news is coming soon We haven't gotten anything about him actually being the lead at all But we've seen things and we've seen all the things that point to him being in Jeepers Creepers are born So it's safe to safe to assume that she's talking about Jeepers Creepers reborn He could be starting in something else that she's referring to but Come on now. I'm pretty sure there she's talking about the role that has to do with Chase If she's talking about something else then so be it, but it's just this just is just more Proof in my opinion that he's starring in Jeepers Creepers reborn as the character of Chase Even if he's not starring as Chase We know he's going to be in the movie because I again showed you guys the picture of him on set We see him on set with Peter Brooke during the scene There's also other images of him on set dress very much like a horror nerd I'll just say which is the description of Chase He's the one that's obsessed with the horror Hound Festival and he drags his girlfriend to the to the festival And she ends up getting taken by the creeper So in red atoms just more prove that he'll be playing the character of Chase Honestly, I'm really concerned with the special effects. I am when I tell you I'm concerned with it I mean that wholeheartedly of I Never really actually sat down to think about how bad the special effects could be in this movie but given that I Haven't seen any the special effects from the other people that are working on the project that are now working with the guy Who's returning from Jeepers Creepers 3? I'll just have to see how this all plays out because what actually could have been the issue is How rushed everything was with Jeepers Creepers 3 a lot of people feel there's a lot of Sabotage going on behind the scenes and they wanted the movie to fail and this was purposely made bad Just so that they could do something real quick with Victor and at the whole time They were already working out a way for him to get the rights over to them And they were trying to just give Victor his final bow out to the franchise so he can get out of here They can pay him out and they start doing what they want to with his IP So we'll see what he can bring to the table in terms of visual effects this time around Supervising these other people and what they are going to dish out, but you know, I just wouldn't expect visually to have a spectacle on your hands not to say that the stuff in the Second film was that good, but you know the stuff in the second film Practical effects bro practical effects you you have to appreciate practical effects when you see what you get in Jeepers Creepers 3 Though the departing of visual effects in Jeepers Creepers 3 is very evident It's very much so a negative departure It's nothing that resembles a good use of CGI at all whatsoever. Everything looks cartoony It looks half-assed. It does not look impressive at all. It looks very it throws you out of what you're looking at In the rest of the scene when those I'll just say Mario Kart like bombs drop out of the creepers truck It's not it's not fitting with everything else in the scene at that time because of how it looks and how it's put together It's horrible CGI The green screen use was horrible There's just so many things that I'm fearful for when it pertains to this movie because I know they had a lot of green screen They're gonna be working with but let me know what you guys think about this information down in the comments section below What are your thoughts? What do you expect will happen with the visual effects? If you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications that number is video in the description I have links to my social media accounts on my Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course, there is any movies news or if you'd like me to cover in the future a lot in the mind guys I will see you in the next video and go ahead and click that recommended video to look at that spoiler free review for a candy man When you see it up here later tomorrow if you watch this video tomorrow


Hey everybody welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a book review. Hey today we're going to look at the creative element from Scott Olgard. Now you might remember actually did a review for Scott Olgard before. It was not really a book review, it was a book test. Remember I did the Dr. Jackal and Mr. Hyde book test. That was also from Scott Olgard and I believe, I believe they're self-published. All right so what this is is it is a collection of Scott Olgard's card tricks. It's 90 pages long, has 19 effects in it and if you want to see the trailer this is it. What's going on guys? Scott Olgard here and I just want to talk to you a little bit about my new book The Creative Element. This is a selection of my card magic that I've been developing over the last four to five years. It's nice two pages. The name The Creative Element is basically because the effects in here are unfinished and that's deliberate. They're finished for myself but I state in the introduction that I don't expect anybody to perform these effects as I have performed them because at the end of the day you're not me and I'm not you and I've gone to great lengths within the book to explain how you can take each idea in here and apply it to your own performing style. I've tried as best I can to explain different ideas and different thoughts, alternative handlings as much as I can within this book itself. If you have any questions in the meantime please get in touch and thank you very much for your interest and yeah I'll see you soon. All right so that was Scott Olgard. He's out in Leeds. Okay and so a couple questions we always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is what is in the book? What's in the book? Like I said it's 90 pages, 19 tricks, you got three sections. The book is broken down into three different sections and it's basically encompassing five years of Scott's work with card magic. Now interestingly enough Scott also has a YouTube channel and his YouTube channel is guitar so it's actually him playing guitar and singing so he's also a musician, a guitarist you might want to go check out his channel. So the book now is broken down into like I said 19 tricks, three sections. The first section is going to be with borrowed decks.  Okay now the nowhere vanish is really just a side jogged spread vanish so if you're already familiar with that he's just named it the nowhere vanish. Basically the cards return to the deck and it vanishes from the deck without you having to palm it off or ditch it. Okay and so he's got nine tricks with that nine tricks with the nowhere vanish and then his third section is with either deck stacks or gimmicks and he has three tricks in there and then at the end he has a bonus coin trick as well. So you have some with borrowed decks some with deck setups some with gimmicks some with vanishes okay. Is it what I thought? It's more than what I thought actually I mean it's a book obviously and you think well it's a book about card tricks but it's more than that Scott actually has put in video explanations to some of the tricks which is great and I've never really seen this done with any other magic book so what he wants you to do is download a program to your smartphone that would allow you to scan certain pages and then a little video pops up while you're looking through the phone down at the book like the video appears on the pages of the book it's really cool like it's a live action thing like happening right in front of you and he either explains a move or he goes over the presentation or he just shows you the effect so that's really cool like he's added modern technology into books so there's a little bit of something for everybody people that like books you know there's still some of us out there that enjoy magic books and then there's people that really love videos and so what Scott has done is he's kind of married those two together in this so that was really cool positives one of the positives to the creative element you know it's always nice to get a peek into a creative mind like Scott Olgar so the creative element is a wonderfully adventurous approach to both magic books and card magic negatives what are some of the negatives to the creative element you know like we say around here there's negatives to everything so these are just the negatives that I see they don't have to be the negatives that you see for me some of the tricks were a little macky little dirty and reading them through in my head I was thinking wow that's not going to work a hundred percent of the time or you know I just don't know how this maybe but probably works great for Scott but in my head reading it back I was thinking man in my performance I didn't feel as comfortable that they would work for me that was just me is it worth your money it's thirty dollars thirty dollars it's a paperback booklet it's like on the thicker side of a booklet okay and so 90 pages thirty dollars booklet it is self-published and so when you self-publish books that is a little bit more expensive to do so I don't really know what his profit margin is on that thirty dollars seems a little on the high side for this book so I don't know it's going to be up to you whether this is something that you think you want to invest in I think books are always valuable I think books especially from people that don't necessarily publish a lot I think become more valuable and so you learn over time as books either sell out or they become classics that people then gravitate towards them and say oh did you read the creative elements in Scott Oldgard no oh my goodness you know it's sold out now you can't get it so you kind of have to be on the beginning of some of these things before they blow up and turn into something bigger so I don't know you know you're going to have to see for yourself who would like this I think anybody that's into you know esoteric card magic books or people that are already fans of Scott Oldgard people that just enjoy these little you know nuanced kind of card tricks that aren't as widely seen you know you're gonna do some magic it's a little bit more creative a little bit more on the cutting edge a little bit more like on the on the underground or you have not as many people doing these effects I think might like this people that just like to pick up you know new card tricks I think would definitely love the creative element from Scott Oldgard all right so that is my review for the creative element from Scott Oldgard I want to thank Murphy's magic for allowing me to have this so that I can do the review for you and if you want to purchase yours you can find it at your favorite Murphy's magic dealer thanks bye


So scope winds up working very differently in Ida than in many other languages and I think that's something that needs to be explained exactly how scope works in Ida. It's not terribly different but it's not exactly the same as many other languages and some of the visibility keywords work very very differently than what you'd be used to. So firstly this is essentially the, well don't go like this, this whole thing from line 4 to line 8 is the procedure block but as part of that you have the execution block and the declare block. Anything that is declared has to be inside the declare block and is visible for the entire of this procedure. Once you exit this procedure it is no longer visible. This is just a program but let's say if we had another procedure here which we wouldn't normally be able to do. Something from here would not be able to see something from here and similarly something from here would not be able to see something from here because they're inside different blocks. Essentially the entirety of Ida works that way where it's those little blocks that make it rather easy to identify exactly when something exists and where it no longer exists or is no longer visible. So we can do something like this. Foo is now one and anywhere in example Foo exists. When example is ended in this case, this specific case the program would be done and over with and the memory be freed up but if this were in just one of many procedures and start of a larger program Foo would cease to exist after this procedure is finished. It would then be recreated if this procedure was called again but it doesn't continue to exist afterwards and it doesn't exist. It's not visible to anything outside of this procedure. If you need to get even more constrained than this it is possible by using a declare block. This works much the same way but instead of procedure or whatever else it's just declare and then you have the declare block and an execution block. The execution block must exist regardless and that should make sense because it doesn't really make sense to just declare a variable and not do anything with it. Similarly to what I described before, bar does not need to exist anymore after end is called so it may be completely removed from memory but regardless anything outside of this block cannot see bar. Bar can still see things above this block so anything inside of here would still be able to see this so we can assign that to Foo. Now this would be a copy so we can manipulate it in various ways and never actually alter the original. Let's do some trying to show off some things if we do. Actually no let's just leave that. Oh yeah yeah I know. We're going to create another package so we'll just call this FooBar. Now normally inside of a package everything is public as you would normally think of it. I say normally. If you're coming from the C style world, everything in here would be public. You don't need to add a public keyword, they just are. So if we have Foo as an integer equal to one and bar as an integer equal to two, we can then include this. I need that. I do need an null here. And it builds fine. Now that's not particularly useful so let's actually do something with it. We're gonna have Foo plus bar and that's three. That's because everything in here is publicly visible. That's not always what you want though. Sometimes you want to hide things and that's why other languages have all these different keywords. Ida operates more on the idea of blocks. So what you actually wind up doing to hide any of this is a private block. Now this is very important to discuss. Private does not mean what it means in something like C++ or C sharp or Java. Private in Ida can be thought of more as it's not visible to anything that we uses that package, but it is still visible to any child packages. This is pretty similar to C sharps internal. I'm not sure what to call it in something like C++ because I know the scope keywords don't exactly line up. But just to reiterate, anything in there would be visible to child packages just not publicly. So we can go move bar over here and you can see that it's not visible. Now I can still recognize that it is declared in foobar and also in here just because the bar I think it's that symbol but yeah obviously we don't mean that one. So this can be pretty useful in that if you don't want to freely modify bar but you still want to get it you can do something like this. Oh yeah now we got to change this slightly and that still works out because this is visible just this isn't. So we can do something like, oh not that one, we can do something like this where we set foo equal to 10 instead. Because remember it's publicly visible so we can set that to something else. But if we try to set bar to something like 20, again it's not visible and even though this should seem absurd to most people, this was just a function, just a simple getter that's why I used the name. People coming from Java should recognize that. It's not a variable so you can't actually set it. So that can be used when you want something like a single 10. I had to call these abstract state machines but it's essentially a single 10 where this is the accessor and this is the actual property that you're hiding. This will have to be a procedure but we do set bar and we have value, integer and just to ensure there's no syntax errors and there's not. So then we can do set bar 20 and this winds up working out because now we have a setter instead of just assigning the variable. Now unfortunately Ida doesn't have anything like C sharps properties which are but this should seem pretty familiar to anybody who just worked with the accessor mutator patterns or getter and setter patterns in Java but we can go one step further with the hiding and that should seem pretty strange to your C developers because there's nothing more private than private but again private and Ida is more similar to internal. This isn't completely hidden. You can still see this from a child package. Suppose I'm getting slightly ahead of myself. Let's show that you can still see and operate on bar from a child package. If we do full bar and then we do bacon. Did that change on me? Oh I'm mixing up my languages again. Okay okay yep I'm mixing up my languages again. The visibility thing is a little bit more complicated than that. If we had a record defined down here you know like and then we have the abstract data type for that. The ADT is publicly visible but they can't see any of the the properties of it. A child package would be able to see the properties of it but apparently I I've never even tried to do that but apparently they can't they can't see this but it would be able to see that the the cake property existed of any type of example. So that's good to know actually. See sometimes I learn things when I do these videos because I'll make some assumptions that don't always check out like that. Be surprised how long you can actually develop in a language and not do every little thing that there is. It's not the one I want. Yeah I guess we don't need that anymore then. There's one more place we can actually put a value or anything really. One more place we can put things that makes them more hidden than private is. Remember I was getting that before. And this is gonna seem rather odd but again most languages don't actually do things the way ADTA does. You can actually define these things in the package body. Yep that entirely works out. When you'd want to do this is when you want it completely hidden. When you do not want it to be available to child packages in the apparently not always possible but the majority of the time things will actually be visible to a child package if they're declared in private. If they're declared in the body they will never be. This also has some rather important semantics in terms of building the entire systems and what needs to be rebuilt. Changes to just the body even if it's functions or values within the body of a package do not require everything that depends on it to be rebuilt. But changes to the spec even if it's the private part of the spec will require things dependent on it to be rebuilt. So essentially anything in the body itself is what would be considered private and something like C plus or C plus plus or C sharp in that it is absolutely hidden even from things even from child packages or anything else. Nothing can see this except this package. This is also useful when dealing with object orientation in that anything defined in any like functions or procedures in the body that operate on a on a tagged type, a class. Anything that inherits from it will not directly be able to use those. Though you could still use those function and procedures on them it would just be a bit of polymorphism with the downcast. While I'm doing this one other thing I will mention even though it's not explicitly like a scope or visibility thing it's not super obvious in any way that I would let this happen but essentially because a body you might have picked up that there's a little bit of this when I said that the package was essentially a singleton. Well singletons have constructors because singletons are still objects. The constructor for this where you do initialization code and I've I've never actually had to use this in practice I've just I will never forget this because it's so bizarre it just begin and then you can do things. Currently oh yeah cuz who's already yeah there you can initialization code goes there. Otherwise visibility thing not even for protected types and task types that essentially works the same. Basically visibility in Ida works three fold. It's either publicly visible privately visible or tucked away in the body where nothing other than it can see it. Scope should be pretty easily determined based on based on the block it's located in. So again if we use this as an example bar is visible to everything inside of this block but the value here is only defined in this block so we could not call value from here. I find it considerably easier to determine scope in Ida than from something like JavaScript where scope is rather confusing and you need old tutorials to figure it out. That's the tricky. Yeah all in all I say ad is pretty straightforward in this it just does a little bit differently than some other languages where you're be familiar with that do it overwhelmingly through keywords. Ida loves the block even has a syntax that's called like comb syntax because it kind of looks like a comb. That's the claim I've never actually like I get it but it's a bit of a stretch.

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. We're going to open up the free QuickBooks Online test drive, which you can find by searching in your favorite search engine. In this case, Google for the QuickBooks Online test drive. I'm going to be opening up the one that has a URL that contains the Intuit.com in it into it being the owner of QuickBooks. We're going to be opening up the United States version of it, verifying that we're not a robot and continue. Now the first thing we're going to do and we're going to start doing this every time we open up the QuickBooks file is to open up our major financial statement reports that being the balance sheet and the income statement. I'm going to be opening them up in a new tab. So I'm going to go to the tab up top right click on that tab. I'm going to duplicate that tab. So now we have two tabs up top. I'm going to go into this one that we duplicated right click on it again, duplicate it again. Then I'm going to go back to the middle tab as the one to the right is thinking. I'm going to go into the reports which are currently found here under the accounting view. We'll take a look at the difference between the accounting and business view shortly. And then I'm going to open up the balance sheet reports. I'm going to go to the tab to the right. I'm then going to go to the reports dropdown and go to the profit and loss otherwise known as the income statement report. I'll change the date range up top. I'm going to make this for the year 2022. So from 010122, I think this is the easiest way to type in a custom date range is to just put two digit by two digit by two digit 010122 to 12 December 31st, 3122 and tab and it'll format it for you. Then we're going to run and refresh the report. So there it is January through December. I'm going to do the same thing on the tab in the middle, going back to the tab to the middle and adjust the date up top from 010122 tab on the keyboard 123122 tab. So January through December, run the report. I want to get used to doing this every time because these are the end products. These are what we're going to be creating as we do the data input from a financial statement perspective. These are the end product. So then we're going to go to the first tab. I usually have the layout being the first tab is where I do the data input. And then as I do the data input, I check on the other couple tabs, which have my major financial statements, the balance sheet and the income statement. So going back to the middle tab, remembering that in this middle tab, I can zoom in and out by holding control scrolling up on the scroll bar. I'm currently at 175. I'm going back down to 125% on the zoom in. Now we're on a web based application. So most of the activities that we're going to do are on the left hand side or on the drop down up top. And then the things that we're going to be filling out or working with forms or the fine or the statements are going to be in the middle. Now the first thing we want to note is this this panel on the left hand side has changed greatly and they're kind of toggling back and forth between two looks and feels of this left hand side. So if you if you go to the drop down up top on the cog, we can switch to the business view down below. And this is like the newer look and feel that they're trying to put in place. And and it has a little bit more kind of like a slick look to it and it has some icons to it. And it's got some different names within the categorization. So I'm going to try to go back and forth between these two views. If you're ever looking at something that's that's an older kind of application to try to figure out how to do something within someone made a presentation that's older. Then you probably want to be looking at the accounting view. I still think the accounting views got some more professional terminology that I'm more used to and they're using more kind of kind of loose terminology here, which I think they could be nice. I mean, it could be attractive to some people, but it's also a little confusing because it switches around in terms of the terminology. So let's keep it here for now. But remember, you could toggle back and forth between those two views on the cog drop down and switch back and forth between the accountant view and the business view. So keep it in the business view for now. This whole panel on the left hand side can be collapsed. So I can do so with the hamburger they call it up top so I can close it up like that and I can open it back up. If you were to scroll in a lot on the zoom in, it might at some point close that toggle automatically. So because just the size of the screen because it's trying to optimize the size of the screen. If you scroll back down, it doesn't open back up. I could just hit the hamburger and open that back up so it didn't it didn't go away. It's not lost forever. You don't need to restart the program or anything. It's still there. Okay. And so then we've got these items on the left. Now this item up top is usually the one that you will go into whenever you're doing your normal data input. So in the normal accounting process, what you're going to do is usually enter forms, which will be you can see in the layout of the major categories customers, vendors, employees and others. And as we do these data input forms, these are the things that create the financial transaction journal entries, the double entry accounting system, at least two accounts being impacted. And those are the things that allow QuickBooks to pretty much seamlessly and automatically create the financial statements, the balance sheet and the income statements that we open prior to this as well as the subsidiary reports. So most of the time when you're just doing data input, when you're entering transactions, this is going to be the place you're going to go. Now realize also that you might enter transactions depending on the type of company with the bank feeds, which means you're going to go into the bank feed center a lot. We'll talk about the bank feeds in a future presentation. Remember that if you're trying to turn on the bank feeds, it's a great tool to be using. But you have to know where they fit in your accounting system in order to optimize the use of the tool. Otherwise, you can get kind of overwhelmed with the data input. So we'll talk more about bank feeds in its own section or its own course at a future point in time. Every time we open our QuickBooks company file, it will usually take us to the home page, which under the business view is called the get things done page. You see what I'm talking about with this terminology thing. It's a bit more hip on the business view than the accounting view. And then when we want to do data input, the easiest place to go but not the only place to go is generally with the plus button. We find the form here when we want to go into areas specific to a cycle such as a customer cycle or a revenue cycle or an expense cycle, which is the accounts payable cycle, for example, purchases cycle or the employees cycle. Then we're usually going to go into one of these menus on the left, which we will go into in detail shortly. And then when we're looking at underlying foundational things like lists chart of accounts and whatnot, sometimes we go up to the cog up top and we also find our profile options and so on in that dropdown. Those are the main kind of categories. Now I'm going to take a look at a flow chart, which actually comes from the desktop view, which is kind of similar to this flow chart. But I think the desktop view has a flow chart that can give us an idea to visualize the cycles that we will be working with, which will help us to better understand how we're going to navigate around the software. So once you understand the flow chart, you don't need like the flow chart. It's just a way to kind of visualize how the forms are generally going to be organized. So in your mind, you want to start thinking about the accounting flow in terms of cycles. So if you're in the vendor cycle or the payable cycle, the expense cycle, these are going to be the forms that will be grouped in this kind of format within it. So we're going to either enter a check directly when we're paying something or have a transfer when we're paying for something in order to buy goods and services or expenses for the company. Or we're going to enter a bill and then we're going to pay the bill if we have an accrual system. When we go into inventory, we might have a purchase order and then receive the bill, for example. If we're on the revenue side of things, we want to think about the revenue cycle separately or the accounts receivable cycle, the income cycle, whatever you want to call it. At the end of the day, we would expect there to be an increase in our checking account, a deposit from the customer for goods and services we provided them. But we might have that deposit directly from, say, the bank feeds, for example, depending on our system if we're just getting deposits from YouTube or something. Or we might have a cash register situation and we have to collect it there and then deposit it and match it to the bank feeds or to the reconciliation. Or in an accrual system, we would have an invoice and then we would have to receive the payment on it and then deposit. So we want to have a visualization of the forms in relation to the cycle. And then clearly on the payroll cycle or employees cycle, we're going to be processing the payroll periodically, either weekly, semi-weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or something like that. And then we're also going to have to pay the liabilities and we'll also have to deal with forms and what not, 940s, 941, W2, W3, if and when those are applicable. So once we have this visualization in our mind, then we can start seeing those forms that we would do in the data input by cycle. So if I go back on over here, you have the same kind of thing with the dropdowns. So they're grouping the forms. You don't have the flow chart, but you've got the forms related to the customer cycle, which you can also call the revenue cycle. That's the money that we expect to be coming in at the end of the cycle for goods and services we provide to customers. Also, just remember that you have to kind of think of which side of the table you're on when looking at terminology. So for example, I can refer to myself as a customer and I can refer to the people that I serve as my customers. But from QuickBooks, we want the customers to just represent one side of the table. We are not the customer for QuickBooks. The customers of the people we serve, the people we buy from are vendors. Again, we can call ourselves vendors because we sell stuff. But from a QuickBooks terminology, we have to pick a side of the table. So a vendor means the people that we buy from goods and services to run our business. And then employees, of course, are employees. And then within the customer cycle on the accrual system, we would have an invoice and then we would receive the payment. We might have an estimate, which would actually be before the invoice in certain circumstances. A credit memo would be a more rare kind of transaction that we would have to kind of reverse an invoice in essence. And then a sales receipt, that's the thing that would happen if we got paid at the point we actually did the work, like a cash register situation. And so we'll go into more of these forms form by form in the future, but you can see they're organized by cycle. Vendors, we got the expense form, which is like a check form that we would pay for goods and services at that point in time that we're getting them. A check is the same kind of form except it has a check number in essence. A bill would be the accrual form. Would we enter a bill and then pay for it? The pay bills would be when we pay the bill, purchase order would be the thing that we do before we get the inventory request in the inventory and so on. So you can see how they're grouped in here by cycle. You would like to visualize how these forms are related to each other as we go through the cycle for the customers at the end of the day. We hopefully get a deposit and for the vendors at the end of the day, we're going to be paying for goods and services for the employee cycle. At the end of the day, we're going to be paying for the payroll. Okay, so those are those major areas. And then in the dropdown up top in the cog, you've got the information for like your company information, account and settings. Manage your users, that kind of stuff. If you need to add more users, level up on your QuickBooks, the type of QuickBooks you're using. For example, lists refer to the foundational things that you're not going to set up all the time, but they're kind of underlying like the general ledger kind of stuff in your product lists and item lists, and then other tools over here and your profile. And then let's just go through some of these on the left. I'll try to go through them both on this business view and then we'll switch to the account view. So here we're starting with the cool lingo, which I'm not quite as used to, but we'll say we've got the get things done, the home page. Usually this middle section, they do a flow chart now, which is getting better, but it's still not something that you're going to use all the time because this is the display screen and you haven't really gone into anything you want to do yet. If I go down to the business overview, notice another tab opens over here. So now you've got this tab on the right when you're looking at this business view versus the accounting view. And then you've got this kind of sub tab that pops up. So then you've got the business overview. This gives you some nice little quick look, which is kind of fancy to look at might give you a quick look and feel, but not where I usually go because I usually go to the reports themselves for that kind of information. But it could be a nice kind of overview and the reports will be going here all the time because this is going to be where we opened up the balance sheet, the income statement, all the other reports. You've got tabs up top for the custom reports and the planner. This is another tool that's kind of a specialized type of tool that can help you with your cash flow planning. We might go into that in a little bit more depth in the future presentation. The banking tab is a little deceiving and I kind of wish they would put this more down at the bottom because they're trying to finance the business. So let's help you get funded. So QuickBooks Capital and our partner lenders offer tailored loans and so on. So this isn't really, this is them offering their services here in terms of loans. The PPE Center, that was a particular type of loan for during the COVID situation and they were offering that kind of stuff too. So this kind of a little deceiving that it's up here because you would kind of think that would be like your bank feeds or something, but no. So then you've got the get paid. Again, notice the terminology on this is kind of interesting, get paid and pay. So that's usually, so when you're saying you're going to get paid, that's going to be the money coming in. So from the old terminology standpoint, you might call that like part of the customer cycle, part of the revenue cycle. And if you're going to pay, the money at the end of the day is going to be going out. So now they're combining these two kind of cycles together in this one area that would be like the vendor cycle kind of thing for us. So again, look at the terminology is kind of clearly kind of kind of hip terminology. So then you've got your overview up top income over time, kind of an overview place to go where we can set up online and in person payments get paid anywhere. So these are going to be some possibly add on type of features, send an invoice that your customer can pay online and so on. So we've got some more options here and then we've got the get paid and paid. So the get paid, you would think would be basically your customer center, right? That's going to be the revenue cycle. So clearly we have the customers up top. And so these are the people that we're going to be putting in place when we receive the payments. We'll go into each of these in more detail later, but this has given us detail, you know, about our customers and possibly outstanding invoices and so on. Estimates would be part of the the revenue cycle. If we made an estimate before we issued an invoice like a construction company or something like that. Invoices, these are going to be the invoices that are open for customers. So this is another way to look at the open invoices and sort those invoices that we're going to try to collect on tracking the accounts receivable trying to get paid. Payment links get paid easily anywhere anytime with payment leaks. So this is going to be another kind of setup process that you can look into and put together. So maybe we'll look at that in more detail later, but then we got the products and services. These are the things that we actually sell kind of underlying foundational things that we need to put together like the inventory items and service items. And then on the pay side, now we're on the vendor cycle, the expenses cycle, the purchases cycle. The vendors represent people that we pay to in order to get goods and services we need in the business. And now we've got all the people that we pay, the utility company, the phone company and so on and so forth. And then we can sort the bills. Bills represent outstanding bills that we put into place that we have not yet paid accounts payable tracking accounts payable in essence. So there's that one. We work in there a lot to track our receivables and payables depending on whether we're on a cash based system or not. Then we've got the customer and leads. So we start off with the customers, which is basically the same as the customer center that we saw up top in the get paid area. And then you've got your marketing boost business with MailChimp. So MailChimp is an email kind of service that you can try to connect you to do your marketing campaigns. So that's kind of an add on type of feature they're advertising there. And then you've got your commerce. So one of the benefits with the online version is that you can you can do some more kind of integrations with your online commerce that we might look into in more detail later. Seamlessly connect your sales channels and so on. And then you've got your orders seamlessly connect your sales channels. So we might look into those and more detail in the future is kind of a specialty area. And then we've got your payroll information, which of course is the payroll cycle, which is similar to the vendor cycle, except now you've got all these added duties you got to do with the payroll. And then bookkeeping down below. So in the bookkeeping, you've got your transactions up top. So I closed out some of the items that were that were in here to get to the transactions, which is basically your banking transactions. So we'll talk about bank feeds in a whole section or course in and of themselves and get it and dive into the bank feeds at a future point. Remember, you want to get an understanding for your accounting process in general before you just turn on the bank feeds unless you have a very simplified type of system because they can kind of complicate things. So so you would think the bank feeds would be up here in this banking area, but no, they're down here in the bookkeeping. And then you've got app transactions, receipts, and then the sales here. So the sales and expense information. So we'll be diving into those in more detail in future presentations. You'll be doing a lot of work here. If you have the bank feeds on, you've got your rules. So the rules are going to be set up in relation basically to the bank feeds. You got your chart of accounts. I'm going to say see the chart of accounts here. These are the underlying foundational accounts you set up when you first create the accounting system. You've got your tags, which kind of is kind of a specialty feature that can help you sort your data. So we might look at tags more in the future. And then my accountant and accountant can be your best business partner. So you can look for an accountant that could access your files and possibly then help you with taxes and whatnot at the end of the year. And then you've got the reconcile, which is a place we can go to do the bank reconciliation and we'll go into there in a future point. Then you've got your taxes. When it comes to taxes, we could perhaps things like in the United States, the sales tax, they got the 1099 filing. And then you've got more apps down here. One of the great things about QuickBooks Online is that it does have more access to different apps to help you with the integrations. And we'll talk more about that. Hopefully we're going to get into more of that in a sections of themselves. So if you have other platforms like an Amazon or something like that or Shopify or whatnot, you might be able to use the apps to get more specific data that you would like to be feeding in to the QuickBooks system. And so that whole process, you get better and better if you can get the right integrations. Let's do the same thing.  Now you've got your company, your list, your tools, and I'm going to switch to the accounting view to just get a look and feel of it under the accounting view, which is kind of the older view that's here. So now you've got a different kind of look for the plus button. You still have the plus button though. This is where your normal forms will be input. And now you've got your dashboard up top, which isn't as cool as the get things done page. And basically a home page is what I would just call it. But now it's your dashboard still somewhat cooler than a home page, I guess. And then you've got your banking. So if I go into the banking, now you've got your, your tags this way. And notice now when you go into the banking, the banking is where you would think it would be, you know, they're not trying to sell you a loan right here or something. And so notice if I go into the dropdown this way, I've got my banking, my apps, my rules, my tags, my receipts, which are also the same as the headers up top. So banking, app transaction, rules, tags, receipts. And then you've got your sales down here. Same thing if I was to want to go in there a little bit more quickly. I can go into here, this, this dropdown gives me where I can go specifically, which is the same as the tags up top, which I can maneuver through thusly. And then the customer and leads that we saw before has the marketing and customers, the cash flow. Now that we saw in the other one, we've got the expenses, which are basically going to be the vendor, the vendor cycle, the expenses cycle bills. And vendors, we have the tabs up top here. We've got the payroll, payroll, and the tabs up top. The reports is just in its own tab down here instead of being under, I believe, business. And then you've got your reports. Once you're in here, it looks the same. Your taxes. Once you're in here, it looks the same mileage. And then your accounting. Accounting has the chart of accounts and the reconciliation. And then the my accountant and then your capital. This is where the PPE stuff notices. I think this is much more appropriate that they put it down here at the bottom when they're clearly trying to tell you something instead of having it the second to top one up here. And then you've got the commerce and the apps down below.  Again, they're kind of selling you and business owners policy and insurance, but at least they put that stuff at the bottom. So it's not, it's not like you got to look at it every time when you're up top. So I'm more used to this accounting view clearly. And, but I will do my best to toggle between the two. I want to give the business view. I don't want to just be like, ah, the business views. Not good. You know, it's got some pros and cons. It does have a slicker look and feel. And if you're on different apps and whatnot, maybe if you're on your phone, it might populate more because it has less easily because it has less, you know, options on this side. So I'll do my best to go back and forth between these views to try to say where everything is located. QuickBooks has things located now on these two main views. They change the location sometimes and there's multiple ways to get into the same thing on either of these views. So that means that when you're working on something, someone else might do something completely different, but you want to have an idea of where everything is located and how they're getting there and how to get to places multiple ways. The more connections you have in your mind of how to do the same thing, the better you understand the thing you are doing. So we will try to do things from different angles as we go.


Welcome to the Julia Calada show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson softball head coach Julia Calada And coached 13 games through the season thus far gotten lucky with weather this year a little different from last year How would you assess your teams played this year? I think that we have kind of Started off well We are still trying to figure out some of our puzzle pieces and where everyone fits But I think our team has really attacked the tougher teams that we've played out of conference and then we had a nice Split yes, or two days ago against Arcadia in conference, which was really great. I think we're in the right direction We're getting on track. We just kind of have to figure out where everyone kind of fits Yeah, and the preseason we kind of talked about how you'll have that mix of returners and the mix of newcomers Not necessarily freshman. You have a couple junior transfers So let's start I guess we'll start with the newcomers Erin yours kind of found her way in the batting box your stark has has done well And then Jessica Alice say has kind of found her way into to the starting lineup talk about their performance Yeah, they've done a really nice job of coming in and getting adjusted to college play at this level Especially for the junior college transfers Just got off to a hot start and she's been handling right feel pretty well Erin yours done a great job at first base and her bat is starting to get really hot with her power numbers As well as Sierra who's kind of battled at second and also had some really great at bats and appearances So our overall our newcomers are doing a really nice job of adjusting and kind of fitting in with the upperclassmen that are on the field Yeah, and then talk about the returners Erin Steffi is he picked up right where she left off last year All pensively and defensively your sophomore Caleb Riles in the leadoff position has a hit in all 13 games this season Talk about that mix of returners and you know with the mix of youth and returning that you have so it's jelly Yeah, so it's it's scary to think that kb is still a sophomore and she's made a lot of adjustments this year coming into this season With her at bats buns power slaps soft slaps and even starting to hit away a little bit Um, and yeah, we noticed that she has actually been throwing out three times Couple questionable calls, but I actually like that because that means that we are doing our job still She's getting over and she has 16 seals So she's doing a great job and Erin Steffi actually got started off a little Slower than we would have liked her to be but now she's really come on even stronger Than she was last year with home runs on her power numbers doing a nice job And also morgan folton in the circle who is you know just really crushing it for us right now Yeah, I was gonna say, you know, you know the preseason we talked about pitching I think we've talked about every year and I think every coach across the country will talk about how pitching is a game changer Morgan folton's your veteran. She's your junior. She has five wins That's already halfway to her career high of 10 that she set last season. She got her 100th career strikeout So yeah, talk about her performance, especially in that in the pitching circle Yeah, she's come out really dominant for us. She pitched a lot of games in florida And our pitching staff really relies on her as well as our team More impressive than the hundred strikeouts I think is that she will surpass those in ground balls and that's what's really important for us as a team is Her getting her ground balls the time we strikeouts and also our second pitcher coming in Between hailey and jill trying to figure out A good match up on the team we're playing and who will be the most successful But she really does set the tune for our team And I think that we are super confident when she's throwing that we have a great chance to win and hailey Onahan has actually also done the same for us as well She's given us an opportunity to win and I think jill is crafty and when she gets adjusted to the college game She'll be really great for us. Yeah, and then lastly you're moving into to conference play You know, you have that conference split against arcadia What does your team have to do or have to improve upon after these first 13 games to be in the mix in the conference? I think that we have to have the mentality that we are not going to be satisfied with anything And I think that arcadia showed to us that we can we are going to compete But how do we break through in that second game and start sweeping teams? And I think we need to take care of the the teams below us and attack the teams at the top So I think that you know moving into the stretch of alvernia and widener That'll be a really big test for us mentally as well as physically Well coach, we'll see the best of luck moving forward and we'll see you back here in a couple weeks For head coach julie colada. I'm sam Murray and this has been the julia colada show


I'm coming to you from a bunker deep below PK headquarters, preparing for the Mayan Apocalypse. The good news is that we've found a device that will stop the Mayan Apocalypse. It runs on donations to public knowledge. Please donate to public knowledge and help us continue to power this device. I guarantee you, if you donate to public knowledge, the Mayan Apocalypse won't happen.


Checking out the full cut Just awesome. I love it. Yeah, it's really really cool stuff. It's coming along really nicely with the T-Rex there Looking at it separately. I think The only thing that I'm seeing here is like this is cool, right? I like the energy.  I like the speed of the tail I Like how he closed his mouth they all add so the tension but then Through this here. This feels slow. There's something about this being It's kind of dragging along and then this is a very very long step Really I think it takes a while for it to go from A to B and because it takes so long He's starting to feel off-balance You know where if this goes on off the air off the grounds or he will lean over And he would have that kind of a sideways tilt Body will be tilting over and then Have that leg up here Come down and then it would have to kind of come towards us because because of the weight shift, right? So it does this Takes that step there leans more screen left Boom screen right so you would have to do kind of a over there arc coming back so you can lean forward Into that yell but I think the What do you have to do here a tricky thing is if he's like this, right and he wants to go back the only way He can go back is by this foot Staying put and pushing his body backwards You know because this guy so far back. There's no other way for him physically to go back So as he goes back, you're already moving his foot backwards, which doesn't work in terms of his action there and I Just quickly. I hope this is the camera. This was like this foot is sliding screen left It's probably the camera Just make sure that this is not a pop there Because I see a left but here it seems Not going through the left, but it might also be because his toes going through the ground So you're gonna have to have to Keep that foot further out here push push push And then we run here get off The ground for the forward step, which means you can't go as far back You might just stay around here and then take the step forward Into that I think throughout after this his arms are a bit Too far out. They feel a bit too twin with those L shapes and they're also kind of slow I think you could have moments where they can kind of come down and in the arc and a little aggressive a little Grab or something like a little You know through here. It feels very very Slow and always that L shape not doing anything whereas here actually gets better from here It's back up and then it's cool So that's about it little things And don't forget as you take the steps, you know, it's stuff you can do in the back and the hips Every time there's weight on this the hips will go up here and kind of have a side to side rotation and bumps in there And I wonder for that yell you might offer that, you know roar You might have If you track the top part it might go down a bit more and up and forward You know, it's it's a bit more of a roar like you're really Really going down and forward and this feels potentially a bit too timid And then you can have a tiny bit of a left and right shake The high frequency will shake there some in the tongue as well You know a bit more high active high frequency then just that that feels like he's barfing something out versus And then going back All right, that's what happens very very cool All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


Every human being who reaches the age of understanding of the purpose of money wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches, but desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches and backing these plans with persistence which does not recognize failure will bring riches. Today is Napoleon Hill. Let's face it, whether you are doing something or you're older, you want to make money, lots of it. I'm here to see anyone who wants to be permanently be thrown there to poverty. Even religious folks who claim to despise the desire still realize the need for money and work to earn it. The world's economy and its continual existence remain because of the availability of money. The instant money is taken out of our system, there will be trouble. If money is this important, even for your well-being, then it is crucial that you not only learn to manage it, but know how to make it and keep making it. There are thousands of get rich quick schemes that promise to make you rich overnight, but I have found in my years of running businesses that it is always the simple things which we overlook that get us giant results. When you pay attention to the things that matter, it won't always struggle the way others struggle to make money. I read a quote where the author said, The person who doesn't know where his next dollar is coming from usually doesn't know where his last dollar went. You don't have to be rich to be happy. Having money doesn't equal happiness. But you sure will need to make lots of money to get most of your dreams achieved. Even if you're in your 20s, it's not bad if you learn to make lots of money now. So learning the secrets to making lots of money is crucial to understanding how this works. Below I share with you three powerful secrets I have learned about making lots of money. 1. Know what people want, not need. It may seem like age-old advice, but knowing what people want is an excellent way to start to make lots of money. Ziggler said, You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want. A lot of businesses and entrepreneurs fail because they offer people what they, the business owner, want. Think for a moment someone who wants to start a lemonade business because he thinks he makes the best lemonade. This may be true, but if people aren't interested in lemonade, he isn't going to sell a thing to them. This is the reason companies spend millions of dollars studying customers' behavior. They want to find out exactly what people are interested in. There are few exceptions where businesses have created the need and still meet their need. The automobile company and smartphone companies are an example.  Instead, he made cars. But only after studying and observing exactly a need that it would matter to people. People hardly spend money on preventive measures. They mostly spend on cures. People don't buy what they need, they buy what they want. We all know fruits and vegetables are good for the body, but a large population prefers soda drinks and junk foods which all destroy the body.  Unless you're planning to start a flying car company or build automobiles that work on water, you should find out exactly what people want and before you think you can do it by going to ask them what they want. Late Gary Harbert, who was an exceptional copywriter and prolific marketer, said it isn't always the best approach to ask people directly what they need or want. Instead, find out what they are buying. Gary said people could tell you what they need to sound cool, but too often, they buy something different from what they say they need. So observe what people are buying, not what they say they are buying, and then you will be able to find out what they want. What people buy more is what they want more. And this is one of the secrets big businesses use to make lots of money. 2. Know where to find them It's great to discover what people are buying, but it's sad when you create the product they want but do not know where to find your customers. Your business ends with your customers. In my few years running businesses, I have seen naive entrepreneurs place so much importance on branding and aesthetics in place of knowing where their customers can be found. As much as branding and aesthetics are essential for your business, you must equally be interested in where to find your customers. Are they online or offline? Are they in a forum or a community group? Will you always find them in golf clubs or a soccer field? Apple and C created smartphones. And since millennials mostly use smartphones, they are often towards them. Exactly where millennials can be found. 3. Online Coca-Cola doesn't need to spend too much time on online adverts because they serve a vast majority of the world's populace. Knowing where your customers are is requisite to make a ton of money because this is the place where your marketing will be targeted. Keep your sales pipeline full by prospecting continuously. Always have more people to see than you have time to see them. Then Brian Trace. 3. Know how to sell them Ziggler wrote, The objective of every sale is to make certain the customer gets fair value. And if he gets more than fair value, not only do you have the sale which will build a customer who will, in turn, help you build other customers. If you don't know how to sell, you won't know how to make money. Before the CEO of Under 40 TV started his first company, he was dead broke. But one night, he had an idea he was sure would sell. The next morning, he packaged this idea and walked into the office of a total stranger. He spoke with this stranger who was a successful businessman for over an hour, convincing him about the viability of the business. By the time he left that office, the stranger had bought into his idea and invested in it. Of course, the business succeeded immensely. I often hear a lot of young people, even older people, say they don't know how to sell. See, if you don't know how to sell, you don't know how to make lots of money. Telling isn't just about marketing products, it's also about marketing yourself. If you can't sell yourself well, you can't make the kind of financial strike you need to keep you above the poverty line always. Learn all you can about selling yourself and your business to prospects. There are different approaches to doing this based on your type of business.  This grabs their attention and convinces them of the viability of the product. Apple INC organizes events to launch their products. So customers are already thirsty for the product before he hits the market. Brand Tracy suggests another sales tactics by saying, approach every customer with the idea of helping him or her to solve a problem or achieve a goal, not of selling a product or service. To learn more about how to sell to your customers, I recommend you read Joe Gerard's book titled, How to Sell Anything to Anybody. If this video inspired you, like the video. We love you.


It's Python on hardware time. OK. Blink it, blink it, blink it. Oh, a lot's happening in the world of Python. Tons. Tons. OK, this week I'm going to go through a little bit of the newsletter, my pick, and then not really breaking news, but it's making the rounds today, so I want to talk about that. So anyways, if you're into Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi has new documentation online. They're doing a really cool thing with GitHub. So people can even do updates and more on it, which I thought was kind of cool. So check that out. We'll talk about the notable women business owners, hence the code earlier. You can check out these cool companies. We had a Circuit Python day recap. You can check out all the videos. We did live videos. We had an AMA on Reddit, Show and Tell. There was a bunch going on. It's all in one spot. LadyAda did an interview about the chip shortage. We'll talk about that in a bit. We have, why is there so many shortages in the US? So we sent this out to not only our team, because we talk about the very specific things for Adafruit, but why are things happening around the world with the chip shortage? You can check this out, and I hope it was both ending. It's not exactly COVID related. Well, it didn't help. Yeah, Python and Visual Studio, there's new updates for the August 2021 update. State of Python, 2021, check this out. Real Python podcast, yep. And all the normal roundups and more tons of keyboard stuff, yeah. DevCon Badge, it actually doesn't run MicroPython, but it has a teeny of two bootletters, which is cool. Yeah, that's like, so right now, if we're seeing new hardware out there, if we see hardware out there, it's either running CircuitPython, MicroPython, and or the... Teenier of two, or a teeny USB bootletters, yeah. Yeah, there seems to be like, here's the easiest... Now, a teeny USB is here to stay, for sure, it's cool. And it's free, it's open source, and we like to see more people being able to use their electronics easier. So that's the newsletter of the week. I wanted to do my pick of the week, and that is the Interfrew MicroPad, RP2040 review, the ultimate DIY keypad. This is from Tom's Hardware, and they did a review of it, and I just wanna... Oh, they put some Jade clicks on there. Yeah, so what's cool about this is, we didn't know about this, they bought it, they reviewed it, they posted it up. Great for productivity and easy to customize. Our verdict, track design, built-in speaker, rodeo and current screen, circuit pythons support with helpful tutorial, stomach QT connector, customizable RGB, and not height adjustable, that's actually... You have to have a separate case. You have to have a separate case, and then screen not colored, yeah, of course not. Well, you know, it's interesting. Well, first off, there's a TFT shortage, one of the reasons I didn't go to the color screen, but also a lot of macro pads use OLEDs, and I kinda wanted to stay true to that style. Yeah, so here is... I'm glad they liked it. Yeah, they really liked it, and we're seeing a lot of people use this for things that we expected and things that we didn't. Yeah, and you want me to do a thing for you. We have a lot of things. They like the artwork too. We have a lot of silk on the back, all sorts of stuff. So that's the Python on hardware news from the newsletter. In the next newsletter, though, you're gonna see some neat stuff, including this project, and I think Todd's in the chat. So this is really neat, and I'm gonna just quote Todd here. Last week, I wrote a present to myself, this Asteroids-like game in Circuit Python. It runs just about on any board currently, MicroPad, FunHouse, and PyBadge, it's fun. One code file for three different microcontrollers and three different displays. Circuit Python is amazing. So this kind of shows everything that we're working on, and kind of like one or two tweets or videos. And then also Todd mentions, by the way, it also runs on the Open Hardware Summit badge, which is that job I talked about earlier that you could do. But it's basically four different microcontrollers, four different screens. So NRF 52A40, ESP32S2. RP2040 and the SAMD51. So here's some photos of it. I like that it works well on monochrome or color screens. Yeah, and this is that promise from a long time ago of like Genie and Java, like right once, run everywhere. We're getting close to this, and I really like that no matter what the screen size is, no matter what the input is, one code file works and all these things. So I'm gonna play these little videos back to back. I can kind of hear Todd talking about it. I wanted to show you what this is, and it's called Asteroids. It's a, no, it's Staroids. Staroids. Yeah. Oh, I like the idea of playing a game with the MacroPad. Or in your Funhouse. So give it up for Todd in the chat, because this is, sometimes someone does the thing and you're like, oh yeah, like that explains exactly what we've been up to. CP architecture is multiple of different display types, all the same code. But yeah, I also got it working on the Oshawa badge, which makes it a fourth type of display and a fourth type of CPU. That's Python hardware. Nice job, Todd Bot. Yeah.


What does that really mean? Sex expert Shannon Boudram is here, my girl. Shannon Boudram is here, and I love her, by the way.  Girl, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me.  What's your information on open relationships? What is it? How does it affect relationships and your growth with a person? What can you say? It's essentially an agreement between two people that say that we are open some way. It could be physically, it could be emotionally. It's me and you, and maybe that person over there. So, essentially, you set the boundaries for yourself, but open relationships says that we're not in that traditional style of relationship where we're just monogamous. What do you think? I mean, I guess we don't really have statistics on it, but do you think it betters relationships or does it worsen them? I think when you look at the fact that our previous generation has a divorce rate of over 50%. The divorce industry is a $43 billion industry. We have to do something different. And I think millennials now are starting to really say, okay, you know what? Like, we got options. When you've got 10 million people on Tinder, people now are, we're meeting more people, we're connecting more and more people, so it's likely we're going to have more options. Now, why do you think people will decide to do open relationships versus just being single? Because committing is still beautiful. It's still nice to have one person you can go home to, can massage you, you can take out your hair clips with you. Yes, I love it. You know, it's just, we still want to connect with somebody on that really deep level, but we still want to have other experiences. Yes. Now, is open relationship usually just an emotional thing or is it an emotional thing for one person you're with and then a physical thing for the other person you're with? You set the boundaries. That's exactly it. We can say that you know what? Like, and a lot of people as well to our pansexual these days, the kind of new millennial term, it means like, you don't, you don't, you're not bisexual or heterosexual or homosexual. You just go with the flow. You're just a leaf blowing in the wind. And so when people are like that, they may not want to say we want to open it up in case I'm attracted to somebody else. Right. But it's not always physical. Like you said, it can be, I met someone really great on the Kiki show and I want to go out to dinner with them and just see where that goes. Wow. But we are honest. That is the key to open relationships. You have to communicate with your partner. There's no sneakiness. And the same boundaries do apply. If you break that trust, a lot of people, that's the kill code right there. We're in the kind of generation that like, I'm sure you've lived in six cities by now in your tender young age. We move a lot. We're changing jobs every four years on average. We're not in that same lifestyle before where we have one city, one job, one man, one cat, one dog, two kids. Right. It's a very... I think it just kind of, it wouldn't be for me because it's the idea of not being able to have a strong bond with just one person. I want to believe that that's something that really can happen. Now I can be just connected to this one person for the rest of my life. But that's how my parents are. So I think that's probably why I feel that way. Now I want to hear your final comment on the whole open relationship thing. I think again you have to be honest with yourself and it's great that you could say, not for me. Yeah. And you could say, it is for me. And you could say, it was for a certain time in my life. So always being honest with yourself and creating boundaries that make you feel comfortable, celebrated, and above all else, healthy. Yes! That's just for the fit on that. That's my girl. Come visit us. You got to come visit us again. I will come back over and over again. Yes. We are in an open relationship right now. I know. You see other people, but I still come back. We're good. I know. Please, please, please, follow my girl on Twitter and Instagram by typing in at Shannon T. Bulldrum. That's B-O-O-D-R-A-N.
