What is up, everybody? Jason here for jasperjase.com. We just sold out Jasper's 15 box NBA Mixer, five 21-22 optic choice boxes, and 10 21-22 prism mega boxes. And this is pick your team number four.  Why not number three yet? Well, number three is in a filler. The last X amount of teams didn't sell a few days ago. So we put them in a filler and all of a sudden people started buying these straight up and sold this one out first. So, again, same break. It's just that one's in a filler, guys. And we're giving away two super bowl, superb out squares away in this break at the end. So once we get done with this, we'll randomize the list of names. Top two get into the squares. And again, all cart ship, guys. So Terry got last bottom mojo, Rockets. All right, so I got 10 here, prism mega boxes. We'll be doing these first and then we'll get to the rest. Also two guys, how about NBA trade deadline, guys? Some people disappointed with some of their team's trades. Some people are happy. My thunder made a little trade today. They traded for Gordon Hayward. I know he's been injured really, but I think he said to come back very soon. And they traded them without trading any of their future draft picks. Like they don't have like 30 of them to give away.  I think Trayman's a baller. He was our first round pick a couple of years back, but you know, just really never found no playing time with SGA. You know, obviously just taking over really. So, you know, I hope he cuts the ball out over there and gets to prove how good he really is. And what was crazy about this thunder trade that was hilarious to me was that, you know, they didn't give away any future draft picks like they don't have any to give away. They have a gazillion. But what was crazy is that they pick up, they picked up David Bertrand's, you know, contract for trading up two spots in a draft case on walls. And they were able to dump his contract to the Charlotte Hornets, like I said, without having to give up any draft picks. Sam Presti's like the Howie Roseman of basketball. He just knows how to just finesse these trades and just draft future superstars. But yeah, I don't think the Lakers made any trades, but I think honestly, I don't think they needed to, man.    So like I think the Lakers are like, yeah, we're okay with what we got. I mean, mainly the core team that got them to the Western Conference Finals is still there, you know? So I think they'll pick up some players. They'll just wait for the buyout season. So I think Morris is going to get bought out from his contract, you know, so they might be able to pick someone up like that if they want. There's gonna be a lot of players in the buyouts to pick up, so that's kind of the, I think what the Lakers are probably just waiting for. I know, I was, I have a big, I have a customer, I'm in a group chat with a couple of customers from Instagram, Mike, and one of the customers in there is like the biggest Detroit sports fan and he invested so much in Killian Hayes and still to this day was buying Killian Hayes. And when that news dropped, kind of hurt, hard to even want to tell him that Killian Hayes got released. Not even traded, released. So not good times for him. And yeah, Terry, you should, man. I'm a big Thunder fan too, it's okay. I live in LA and I don't roof of the Lakers. Thunder an exciting team, man, honestly. It's kind of like kind of reliving a little bit of history here like Durant, Westbrook, Abaka, Hardin. Thunder are a really, really young team and they got a few years before they got to pay anybody and they already locked up SGA, they locked up Ludor. They don't have to pay J. Will or cut any real big money for another three, four years. So they're in great shape. They're also gonna have like $90 million in tap space next year as well. So I don't know, man. I think they'll be in the finals by like next season early year after that. My goal was for them this year was to make the playoffs but win one series. Last year I wanted them to make the playoffs and they made the plan, you know, and like I said, they made the plan, didn't make the playoffs, but they made the plan. But this year, my expectation with them to make the playoffs and win a playoffs series. Now I have born and raised here in LA, Duncan. I don't really have too much hate for the Lakers. It's just that when I was a kid, my sister, my older sister was very annoying and just loved the Lakers, loved Kobe Bryant in general, very obnoxious. So when I started getting of age a little bit, I didn't want to root for the Lakers. So I just rooted for a team that had very similar colors to like the Eagles really. So I was a Sonic fan. I just like the Sonics for their colors, more like Oregon too with that green and yellow. But obviously once the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City, I just followed them and just been a fan ever since. So that's why I was talented the other day. I'm gonna have mixed emotions if like, if they bring back the Seattle Sonics because I mean, honestly, I'm very invested into the Thunder. I feel like I'd be cheating if I'd go back to like the Seattle Sonics. But yeah, I liked them more like when like Ray Allen was there. Right before they came into Rattray, like 2003, 2004 area. So there's a little Jalen Green Instant Impact. Obi-Tabin, so these are just pinks. Everything ships, but I don't think we'll be sleeping up top loading every one of these pinks, but obviously we see anything pretty massive, we will. There's a giddy there. There is Bayzee. I loved him a lot too, and he never worked out. Calvin Johnson. And we got a Tarion Prince. Davion Mitchell. I don't think it's gonna go in there. What's that Mike said? There's Josh Giddy, pink guys. Benton. Then we got a Chris Duarte Green. Has he actually been playing well? He's a pro duck too. Oh, sorry, Sean came a little bit before my time. I didn't even realize that was like his nickname. No, I just wanted for them for the colors to be honest. They were so close to orange colors and green eagles that I was like, eh, they'd be cool to root for all green teams. Not to say that the Sonics were super, super great anyways by the time, but. But it was fun though, when they moved to OKC really, I mean, you had a second year Durant, first year Westbrook, then you got Harden, Abaka, all those guys, and then all of a sudden, you start getting a little hype, making the playoffs, losing early, basically getting better and better every single year, and then all of a sudden you go to the finals, and you're up against LeBron James in the heat, and you win game one, and you're just like, wow, we're taking this series, bro. We're taking this series. And then LeBron in the heat just went four straight after game one, and then it's over. And you fight to get back to there, and 2016, you're up 3-1 against the Warriors, in the Western Conference finals, and then you end up losing in game seven, and then Durant joins the enemy, and it's over. I mean, Thunder went to the playoffs a little, like I think another year or two with Westbrook alone, but yeah, that was a little, I still have mixed emotions about Kevin Durant, honestly. He, it really hurt, man, honestly, I was really, really, man, that really hurt when he decided to just go back, when he decided to basically join the team that beat him, that hurt so much, dude, so I like secretly root for him, but I don't know, I still have mixed emotions with him. The one I'll always love to respect is Westbrook. He gets a pass wherever he goes. That dude is still, like I said, goals all out 110% every single game, brings that energy, and I said he's always loving him. LeBron's silver, true holiday. I don't know if we can even get autographs on this mega, I assume we can. Lendo Carter. Also today, guys, here in LA, Kobe Bryant's statue on Reeling Night today, before the Nuggets game here. Gonna be a very, very bittersweet moment, pretty emotional probably as well, right? I mean, I'm sure they would have done this a long time ago, right after the passing, but I assume they wanted to kind of make it special with the whole two, eight, 24 type of deal, you know, to honor Kobe and, of course, probably his daughter as well. Last little box here, and then we're with the next five. Curious. Whoa, we got an autograph? Brandon Boston Jr., BB. Could have been BBJ, I guess. Clip show, going to Kev. I think Ola Depot also got cut or bought out as well. Oh, it's G8. I wonder how many former players are there? I believe so. I mean, at least I want to say megas, retail. I guess it's all retail, right? As long as it's not a hobby box, from blasters to megas to complete set and stuff. These, of course, are choice hobbies, so these ones are always gonna be a lot better. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, this isn't, yeah.  I mean, I'm sure if you get the right colors, pink ice and stuff like that of these players, they sell pretty decent, I'd assume, still. But yeah, you're looking probably to try to hit the jackpot in those bigger ones with optic choice.  There really isn't any case hits in Prism, to be honest. Prism basketball has no case hits like football does.  Football, they don't really have case hits in this. One where they have case hits if anything is mosaic, they'll have the stained glass, if anything, and then I don't even think optic has case hits. I feel like there's less case hits in basketball, like optic and Prism than football and stuff like that. Because football has the downtowns and stuff like that. Man, can that dude even walk still? No, that's not on China, man. Basketball is so different from football, to be honest. There's nothing. Kabooms are actually in basketball. Kabooms are in Crown Royale for basketball. And then Absolute, I think, still has the glass ones, yeah. But Kabooms and basketball are in Crown Royale. Good question, Eric, I have no clue. Just watch Alpha Instagram post, I guess. There is case hits in one-in-one basketball. That one actually has the downtowns. One-in-one basketball has downtowns. Kabooms are in Crown Royale for basketball. And then I think mosaic has the glass, stained glass. No, I don't really do much Instagram anymore, Mike. Before when we didn't have Fanatics Live, I would do YouTube and Instagram. But now, with Fanatics Live, I just do YouTube and Fanatics Live throughout my week. Instagram, I'll do it on a day like today if we're super dead and then I'll fire it up, if anything, but, because no one's live, but, I don't really do too much Instagram anymore. Halley, Mingo, Moises Moody. Zyra Williams doesn't impact silver. Amar Stoddermar, Moospongarula. Ooh, nice giddy silver. Serge Ibaka. Tatum USA. I didn't see one of those. LeBron James Silver. Sean Green. Colin Sexton. Marcus Zagrowski. Miles Bridges. There's Trey Mann, guys. Watch out for him. If he gets the opportunity to play in Charlotte, like I think he will, he's a baller, man. Ben Mobley. Quinn Grimes. Like a boss for me, like, John Moran Silver. Paul George. Jared Butler. Harrison Barnes. All right, all right, you guys. Well, let's get to the real, real good stuff, which would be the optic choice. Here we go. So you look for one autograph in every box, one numbered card, and then a couple of choice parallels. There we go. All right, we got Jared Butler. All right, for the magic. Nice, Franz Wagner. Optigraphs, that's a good start. Magic going to Tristan. Then we got a little beef stew. Oh, backwards. Theomaladon for my thunder. That should be out of 88. Then we got James Bulknight. It's a Theomaladon at 88. And Brandon Boston, Jr. Ooh, it looks like we got a black gold coming up at some point. For the Knicks. Jericho Sims for the Knicks. Tristan with that one.  And Victor Oladipo, that should be numbered to eight. Four out of eight for the Miami Heat. That's why I had Tristan. And we got Quentin Grimes for the Knicks. And another Franz Wagner. And then James Harden that is going to go to the Knicks. Is that Jersey number Oladipo? Yeah, number four. See where he gets winded. You see where he winds up. I believe he got released. Bought out or cut one of those ones. I know he recently just got traded too. All right, next box guys. Lulu Silver. And it's a redemption. Spencer Dinwiddy. And we got a Jalen Brown, numbered to 88. And how about a cave Cunningham for the Pistons. And then a Joe Wesken. I feel like Scotty Barnes is always a redemption maybe, right? Dude never wanted to sign anything. See what we got here. OptiGrab's Choice, numero 99. Wow, no, it's Cade Cunningham though. Wow. And you still got two months before it expires as well. Actually a month now, to be honest. We're already in February, right? Noice, Cade Cunningham. All right, here we go. Charles Bassie for Philly. Jeremy Smith. And then we got Evan Mobley. Red, green. With a little teaser, bro. What's going on here? David Johnson. That's going to be numbered for the Raptors too. Ugh. Seven out of 88. Nimas Queda. And then, wow, what another teaser Christopher Johnson. Or Josh Christopher, sorry, for the Rockets. Jesus. All right, last box here guys. All right, we got a rated rookie autograph. Cam Thomas for the Brooklyn Nets. And look at another freaking teaser. It's like a dragon scale, I believe too.  Cam Thomas. I think he just got traded too, didn't he? Nets Bobby. Last Bob Mojo there too. Robert Covington. T88. And Moises Moody. And there you go guys, that was the break. Got some pretty nice stuff. I mean, obviously for some teams not the best, but like so we got a lot of teasers like the Rockets and Raptors, but Cam Thomas. We did get a Kate Cunningham redemption. Kate there. We got the black gold. Obviously could have been better for a lot of people guys, but again, we still got the Super Bowl squares guys. So let's do that really quick and give away those stuff there. All right, let's click dice roll here guys. Roll it. Two and a four, six times, six times. Here we go, top two. One, two, three, four, five, and six. Six times, six, six. Whoa, my God. What is going on there? Two and a four, six times. Super Bowl squares to both of you. All right, where'd I put, actually sorry, I was like, where'd I put that? That's over here. What was this? Mixer number four? All right, well again, more times to win some more squares with mixture number three. Of course, Mosaic choice one, and then of course, if you get into the memorabilia mixer or the straight up card mixer, you're a guaranteed one. Appreciate it guys, jaskierscasefakes.com.


What if instead of inviting people to a meeting, you brought the meeting to the people? Rather, you brought the meeting to the people who should have gone to the meeting but didn't. In our previous video, we explored the Office 365 web application, Microsoft Stream. For those of you who don't remember, Microsoft Stream is your company's private video library. More importantly, it's where your meetings go once you finish recording them. Once they finish processing, you can do things like turn on automatic transcription like what we discussed last time, but you can also share the meeting with other people. So if you have employees that aren't able to attend a certain meeting, that's okay because you can just send them the meeting recording afterwards. And then that way they can watch it when they have time. To share your recorded meeting, first find your video and then on the video's home screen, click on the ellipses followed by update video details. In the center of the screen is where you'll be able to share your video. As a viewer, your recipients have the ability to watch the video and that's it. However, you can grant them owner permissions which gives them the same rights to the video that you have. That means they can do things like edit the video title, edit the video itself, delete the video, and even download the video. By the way, if you want to download the video, click on the ellipses again and simply click on the download button. If you're new to Microsoft Teams and feel like you could use a little bit of help, we do have a free course called Teams Essentials. It is on our website at protectedtrust.com but we'll also leave a link for you below in the description.

Here we are in our QuickBooks Online bank feed practice file we set up in a prior presentation. Opening the major financial statement reports as we do every time the reports on the left hand side. In the favorites we're going to be right clicking on that balance sheet to open a link in a new tab. Right clicking the profit and loss to open a link in a new tab. Once again for the trustee TB that being the trial balance open the link in a new. If you don't have that trial balance in the favorites you can find and search for it. Tapping to the right closing the hamburger and let's change the range to the first two months of two thousand twenty four oh one oh one two four tab. Oh two twenty nine two four tab drop down let's see it side by side for the months run it and then we'll tab to the right repeating the process those ranges. They are changing oh one oh one two four tab oh two twenty nine two four tab drop down. And months and run it to refresh it again tapping to the right one more time and those times times they are changing man the times they are changing. It's pretty scary to tell you the truth oh two twenty nine two four what is going on with the times they're changing crazily anyways we'll run it to refresh it. Let's tab back to the balance sheet. Now we're going to imagine the deposit side of things much of what we've done thus far. We've been thinking about the decreases to the checking account first thinking about the most easy type of decreases which are the circular items that happen on a periodic basis such as paying the utility bills. For example the decreases for many businesses is often where businesses can really take advantage of using the bank fees and possibly automate the system. Given the fact that they're usually going to be more in a cash based system not using for example accounts payable to pay their bills which is going to be the accrual component. On the deposit side however you have less. A lot of small businesses might not have the ability to be fully on a cash based system and fully automate their system with the help and use of the bank feeds but rather try to integrate the bank feeds into their accounting process. Let's take a look at a flow chart just to get an idea what I mean this is a desktop flow chart but we're using it for online purposes because we just want to see the flow of the forms and how the bank feeds would fit into it. So you'll recall we've been looking at like the vendor cycle or the expenses cycle where money is going out at the end of the cycle. Many businesses can automate that process by recording these transactions when they clear the bank by utilizing electronic transfers and then just recording expense forms as they clear the bank. That's what we've been doing thus far on the revenue side of things. Then the cycle at the end of the cycle or at some point within the cycle we expect money to be going into the business deposits are going to be happening at some point for goods and services that we provide to customers. So let's think about the easiest method that that could happen and then to the more complex methods and how bank feeds will fit into there. The easiest kind of system would be one where you have like gig work. You're getting paid by YouTube. You're getting paid by some platform. You do some kind of service work and they just pay you. In that case you could possibly wait till it clears the bank with the help and the use of the bank feeds and then record a deposit form that will have the other side going to income. Cash goes up. Revenue is going to be the other side. Now there are some complications sometimes when you have online businesses and you're getting paid by platforms because sometimes they want to pay you through other kind of intermediary financial institutions rather than going directly to your bank such as you might have to use PayPal or like a stripe or many other kinds of intermediary financial kind of tools in order to get the deposit to ultimately be going into your checking account. And so we might talk a little bit about that here and possibly more in future presentations. But this is where our focus will be this time the easiest process. Then however you could still have a cash based system but one where you're at a cash register or something like that. In which case you typically you could still wait until something clears the bank. You could make all your sales for the day and then go to the bank and deposit that money into the bank account and then when it clears the bank you can record it as revenue. However, if you do that you're going to lose possibly some internal controls which many businesses that are at like a food truck or a restaurant or something like that or store would like to have which is generally tying out the receipts that you have have generated from the cash register possibly to the money that's in the cash drawer before you make the deposit into the checking account. And you also might have to track other forms of payments such as credit card payments for example and the credit card will will throw a wrench into the system as well because they're going to group the payments in a certain fashion. So again you'd kind of like to be able to check the credit card payments to the money that's going to be deposited on the credit card side of things. So usually you can have a clearing account in that system where you're going to put it into the clearing account and then make the deposit on your side which then will be matched by the bank deposit using the bank feeds as a double check in that kind of system. And then you might have a system where you have to invoice the client. If you have to invoice the client then you've introduced an accrual concept altogether of accounts receivable needing to track accounts receivable. And because there's no cash involved at that point you're going to have to do something outside of the bank feeds recording revenue with the invoice and then receiving the payment and then making the deposit. We'll talk about these transactions later. Right now let's focus on the easy one where you're just saying I worked at YouTube or some other platform I'm going to get paid and just record it as income when I see the deposit. Now first thing to just realize with this the deposit form is not designed for recording income generally meaning that QuickBooks designed the sales receipt form and the invoices to be the forms used to record income. And so if you use the deposit form which is typically the form you will use if you wait till something clears the bank you might lose a little bit of detail in terms of sub ledger accounts that could give you more detail about the income statement income line items. In other words if I go back on over here if I go into my profit and loss notice our income line items up top are typically going to be broken out by you know what we do. So usually we have basic income line items here which are just sales of product and services and then all of the detail of the types of products and services that we provide. I'm not typically put on the income statement. I'm not going to list every type of thing we sell or type of service we provide. We're going to have very general categories on the income statement. Part of the reason for that is that you can have subsidiary accounts or subsidiary reports which could then give you the more detail breaking out income by customer who you sold the income to or income by item what you actually sold. But you can only do that typically in QuickBooks if you're using the sales forms which are invoices and sales receipts. Otherwise you're not going to have that breakout of the detail because the deposit form is not generally designed to create those sub ledger reports. So there's kind of a trade off. However with regards to like if you have YouTube income then you don't really need those sub ledger reports what's going to happen there is you'll probably deviate from the general rule. And instead of creating an income account that just says like this is my my my ad revenue income or my content creation income and then put all the different platforms you put your content on or whatever. That gives you revenue.  And you will include the name of in essence the customer in that case in part because that just makes sense because all your money is going from this one vendor in that case.  Number one and number two because you can't get the sub ledgers in this case because you're waiting till something clears the bank and therefore you're not going to have capacity to get to the sub ledgers. Okay. So let's go to the first tab and take a look at it. We'll go into the transactions and I'm going to close up the handbookie and I'll scroll down and say let's look at the increases now. I'm going to hit the drop down and say money in. So money in. Wait that's money out. Money in. We're going to say boom. So so for example if you if you sell stuff on Amazon or if you have Amazon income possibly by like Amazon Prime income or something like that selling stuff on Amazon could of course add another level of complexity because then you have inventory involved. We have another whole another course or section on that if you want to take a look at that in more detail.  And so it would possibly look similar to like a YouTube. If you add YouTube then of course you might get paid by a YouTube other platforms similar to YouTube you might be trying to generate revenue to again hopefully it would come to your bank if it goes directly into the bank then you would see who it came from. Now in some cases however if you do this kind of work this like gig work then you're going to have an intermediary that you need to facilitate the transaction traditionally like that was was PayPal PayPal was a was a primary tool often used by businesses to try to get the revenue. That for some reason they couldn't just deposit directly into the bank. So I had to go through PayPal. Another one is Stripe that you might be using if you have an online store or something like that then you might need a stripe as well in those instances in order to facilitate the payments. Now so so let's look at the easy one first if I got money that just goes into my account from YouTube directly into my checking account. I'm going to see it as a deposit. I can go into it and just say that I'm going to say this is going to be YouTube I'll copy the the name from the memo and say boom and then it's going to be revenue. I have the two I'll say save. Now instead of putting it into service revenue I'm going to create a very specific category of revenue just called YouTube revenue at this time because because of the type of industry I'm in. It's going to be an income account and I'm going to say other primary income. I'm just going to say YouTube income right and then I'm going to not put it a subcategory. We could put a subcategory if we wanted to have like content creation for example and then maybe you put YouTube and other platforms as a subcategory of it. But I'm just going to put it directly into YouTube income and then if we wanted class tracking we now have the class tracking field and then we could create a rule for that and automate this process. So I'm just going to call it YouTube. It's a money in rule will say for all bank accounts and then the condition. I only need one condition typically because it shouldn't be confusing although it's possible you have different kind of things coming in from YouTube YouTube where you might try to try to apply to different sources if they break out different types of revenue that are coming from YouTube. But I'm just going to put it all into YouTube income. I like to use the bank description because it's a little bit more detailed contains not exact as long as it has YouTube. I'm not going to put Google after it. I'm just going to say YouTube and then test it. And those two are being applied. That looks good. What's it going to do if it sees that rule to be applied. It's going to be a deposit form. So so deposit versus transfer. We have YouTube income as the category pay is YouTube. No tags. We're not going to be adding any classes and we I'm not going to turn on the auto confirm although we could do that after we have checked them out a few times. I'm going to say OK. Boom. And then so there's the YouTube income. It now has the rule being applied to it. And let's do the January one first. I'm going to add it and that will move it from for review to categorized and within the categorized we have the YouTube income. So did it in here somewhere. Don't. Hold on. I didn't add it correctly. Let's go back back to the first tab and I'm going into January and then I'm going to say down here confirm they move that button around a few times. So there it is. Now it should be in here. So we're going to say YouTube income should now be included. I still don't see it. Oh there it is. OK it's there has a rule applied to it. That's good. All right. Let's go to the balance sheet. Run it and now we should have our checking account going up. It's still in a negative balance but it should be going up now. So that's good. And so now we have the YouTube income. So there it is right there. If I go into it it's now created a deposit form. That's the form typically used for increases. That's the default form you want to use. So normally you don't want to use like a transfer form unless you have a transfer between two bank accounts. That's usually when you would use it. So there is that. And then if I go to the other side on the profit and loss. Now we have a category that we have included as YouTube income. So that would be the most straightforward type of in of transaction that you can have nice and easy. And we can apply a rule to it nice and easy. I can go to the first tab now and I could go into my plus button. And if I wanted to track it in terms of the customer center I can go to the sales and in all sales we could search here by the transaction. And actually we can't because it was a deposit. So remember the deposit isn't exactly isn't actually a transaction for sale. So here's one of the downsides with it. If I go to the customers for example and I look at YouTube then I don't actually even see the deposit in here which is kind of annoying. It would be nice if the activity would be in here. But that's because in the customer center the sales documents that are typically going to be used are going to be the sales receipt which is here the invoice and the sales receipt. That's what's supposed to happen. We enter these two in for an accrual invoice for cash basis a sales receipt and then and that's what should show up in the customer center. So that's kind of it. So you just have to deal with that. Not not a big deal. It's probably still worth it to do it that way in a very simple system because that'll be the easy thing to do. But if I go to the reports the other thing that we don't have as much detail on. If I close up the hand boogie and I go down to the sales sales and customers. And if we look over here we have sales by class sales by customer. So if I open up the sales by customer. You would think that we would get a report that supports the income line 0 1 0 1 2 4 2 0 2 29 2 4. And in this case it only shows the invoices right. It doesn't show the deposit. So it doesn't give me the the income for the YouTube income because we don't have we don't even though we added a customer to it. It's not the form that will typically be used to create those sub ledgers. Again probably not a problem for us but it's just something to note that you're kind of sacrificing a little bit of added detail by using this really simplified method. Let's go back to the first tab and go open the hand boogie back in the transactions closing the hand boogie. And so so then Amazon would be the same type of thing that we could add. If Amazon is going directly into your checking account then you can add that directly. Let's go ahead and just do it. We'll say if we had Amazon income I could just say this is Amazon media. Let's say boom adding it's going to be that's all we need. And this one I'm going to say add an account. It's going to be an income account. And then we will call it other primary income Amazon media income. And that's it. Save it. We can create a rule for it. And we would simply call it Amazon media most likely money in rule all conditions. I like to use the bank text and then contains Amazon media testing the rule two of them have been found. It's going to be a deposit. This is the category or account Amazon media the payee or customer no tags no class not going to be auto applied. So we're going to say OK. And then Amazon media we have the rules I can add one and say confirm Roger that. And then if I go up to the balance sheet that's going to be increasing the checking account of course the other side go into the profit and loss that we can see here for Amazon media 430 if I drill down on it. It's going to be a deposit form that was created if I go to the deposit form. It doesn't take me back to the to the to the bank fees but rather to a deposit form. So I'm going to close this out. I go back and then there's our profit losses go back to the first tab again. So I could add the other ones I probably should but notice if you have a cash like if you waited till something cleared the bank. And you're at a cash register situation then you could you know do that like you could wait till everything clears the bank and record it as cash. If you use that that method then for example I could go into here and say I'm just going to be at a cash register or whatever sell my goods. And then at the end of the day I'll collect cash I will deposit it into the bank and then I'll wait till it clears the bank and just record it as revenue once I receive it. Well if that's the case who's going to be the customer I'm just going to make a generic customer. So this will be my sales customer and we'll just say for our cash sales I'm just going to make a generic customer because I'm not going to record all the customers because I'm just selling at you know whatever my hot dog stand right so I don't I don't have a customer sales. I don't get the name of every customer right and then I'm going to say this is going to be income. Let's make this other primary income and this let's say this is going to be our cash register sales if that was the type of business. And then I'd say OK and then all all deposits that are are like that we could then record and make a rule for it. Although if that was your business type you need to be careful because if you put more money into the business then it's going to be difficult to distinguish from from customer deposits because all your deposits are just going to be cash right going into the business. So so you just need to be careful doing that. So I might not even make a rule in that case just to double check all my deposits. I'll just add them individually each night since I don't have really a customer to tie it out to. So maybe I'll just confirm that and then go to my balance sheet and then of course the the checking account would go up and then on the profit and loss then we can record our cash register sales just waiting until they clear the bank. Now the issue with that cash register sale thing just note that if you're selling actual inventory and the United States you might be subject to sales tax which is a state and local tax rather than a federal tax which could make it a little bit more difficult to do that because the general process for sales tax if you're using the full QuickBooks system would be to go into the taxes tab down here and then go into the sales tax you'd have to turn on your sales tax and then you'd have to go into your items in the sales tab and the products and services and determine which items are subject to taxes and then you'd have to make sales with the sales forms invoices and sales receipts not deposits so that these forms can help you to record the sales tax into an accounts payable account which you can then pay according to the sales tax widget thing down here. However you could do a workaround and not use the widget right you might just say okay I'm just going to make all of my sales including sales tax when I sell it so I'm just going to tell people hey look the sales tax is included in the sales price record everything to sales when I record it and then when I have to pay the sales tax I can do a calculation to figure out what's the sales tax that's going to be owed based on my taxable income and then I can make an adjustment. We might talk about that more later but I just want to mention that now because that'll be a wrinkle if you have to deal with sales tax taxes are always wrinkly they always make wrinkles they always mess things up. So let's go back to the first tab and then we're going to go into the transactions again close up the hand boogie. Now then you have this thing with like if you got money through a PayPal for example or Stripe. Now let's imagine that you had your YouTube or whatever and then that's the only income you had for your small business and you had to for some reason pay it through Stripe which means Stripe is now an intermediary or a PayPal. PayPal would be an intermediary that would then receive it and then you would get it from Stripe or PayPal transferring it from Stripe or PayPal to your account. Stripe would do it automatically PayPal you'd have to actually physically do it more like a checking account. Well then the question is do I want to go to this intermediary and get the detail because by the time it hits my account you can see all I have here are the Stripe income. I can only see the financial intermediary I can't see the actual customer that gave it to Stripe is that important. That's the question right because because then the question is well if it was all coming from YouTube then it doesn't really matter. I know that everything that's coming in from Stripe is from YouTube or if this was my website if all my money that's coming from Stripe is from the website then maybe I don't need all the detail of all the customers that paid me on the website for whatever reason because that information is on the website so all I need to do is just add it as income because I know the income is my website income or something like that or you might be getting multiple places paying you meaning multiple different platforms that you want to break out in that case you might have to come up with a system to pull the information from the financial intermediary to make sure that you're categorizing it to the right account and you could find apps to do that and so on if your financial intermediary is PayPal we might talk about PayPal more later but PayPal has an app and or you can connect the PayPal like a bank feed because PayPal is acting more and more like a checking account so you can treat PayPal as a checking account if you wanted to the easiest thing to do is if you're just using PayPal to collect money and then deposit into your checking account you might not need to do that you might say I'm not going to do that why would I do that I'll just transfer from PayPal into my checking account because I'm just using PayPal to collect revenue and I know where the revenue is coming from so I don't need another bank feed which will make the process actually more complex but if you're using PayPal to pay things out and you have multiple things paying you through PayPal then you might want to add it with the app or with the bank feeds okay so just to get an idea like if we went to the strike payment here I might I might say that it's a strike payment so I might just call it that as my a strike transfer as my name even though I know it's not actually from Stripe because that's a financial institution and then I'm going to say the category here I'm going to add a new income and imagine it's going into an income account it's going to be a primary income sale of other primary income let's say and let's say it comes from my website so website sales income for whatever I sell on my website I just know that the Stripe account is tied to my website and that's the only thing it's tied to then I could say okay save that I can make a rule for it create a rule it's going to be the Stripe money in rule and then all I would need is I like the bank text which contains Stripe transfer I don't need anything beyond that and note that sometimes you might have a situation where you could have a difference right between income of of multiple places so let's just kind of play with that right now see this this one right here has a slightly different memo so like a lot of times like Amazon for example you might have Amazon media versus Amazon it has some other characters to it for other things that you're doing with Amazon and you could use those to make more complex rules so I might be able to distinguish these two things if they were for different things so I might say this was this was my website income income and this is going to be transfer and I'm going to be ST dash F 90 and then that's all I need on the rule if I test it test it it doesn't pick up any of them okay I copied the full name down here Stripe transfer I copied this and I put the full thing in here so now if I test the rule it's only given me two of those stripe transfers rather than all three of them because the information that was in that text area I want to distinguish to tell me it's going to go to two different accounts so if I was to save that now I can now I can create a rule that applied to just these two versus these two and maybe I want these two to go to a different account because it's income from another platform which I can somehow identify because of the bank text which sometimes is the case and to do that note that you have to see the bank text so you want to make sure in your cog up top that you have the bank detail to the memo so that it shows not just what QuickBooks thinks is relevant to create the vendor or customer but also gives you all that added information okay so I'm going to say let's go ahead and just add one of those you know it's going to here and say confirm and you can see it moves it of course to the categorized and we have rules that we have been creating so within the rules now we've got our stripe transfer rule for example if I wanted to edit it I could edit it this is why you really want to make your own rules because then you know what the rules are and you could go in and adjust them and refine them if you need to if you're kind of just using the memorized transactions that QuickBooks will make suggestions from then it's a much more loose system which might be easy at the beginning but it could start to be more difficult later on so you want to make it nice and good at the beginning to make it as easy as possible later on right so I'm going to say okay let's in the balance sheet we have another deposit and then let's just go to the profit and loss and we can see in the profit and loss we have another income and so this was the website income and if I go into that then we have our transfer that went through Stripe but I'm just going to assume that Stripe all came from my website that's the intermediary I needed for that alright so next time we'll talk about more complex systems here's our flow chart where possibly we're at a cash register and how it's going to work there and then possibly if we have to deal with invoicing clients how do the bank feeds fit in that kind of system because it's not going to be as automated based on simply the bank feeds let's go to the trial balance that's not the trial balance you're not the trial balance let's run it this is where we stand if your numbers tie out to these numbers great if not it might be a date range issue you could change the date range and see if they then tie out and if not you can drill down or if you need to change the date you can drill down to the source documents and change the date if you need to


Hello everyone, this is financial author Amit Dan of AmitDan.com on this channel you'll find financial, travel and more videos just like the one you're watching right now. If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing. Hello everyone, this is AmitDan of AmitDan.com. Today I will have another episode of unboxing and brief review video and I'll be presenting the marathon travel alarm clock. And I'd like to mention that this is not a paid or affiliated review. So everything was purchased with my own money and there's no affiliated link. So the opinions are totally honest and unbiased. Now before I start I'd like to talk a little bit about the marathon watch company. So marathon watch company actually is a Canadian watch company and which mainly makes government and army watches throughout the globe. And for example this watch company actually supplied in 1941 the manufactured watches for the Allied forces and also the manufactured watches for the first in the first Gulf War for the US Army and also they supply watches for the US Marine Corps, NASA and the Canadian Armed Forces and various other armed forces and governments throughout the world. So they only make very good quality Army grade watches and they are based in Canada and I would feel comfortable having a product from them knowing that this is going to work and this is not going to give me any trouble. Now you may want to ask why there is a need for travel alarm clock when everyone has a cell phone with them and then they can just use their cell phone or whenever you go to a hotel there is a hotel alarm clock there. And the reason I would always keep my own travel alarm clock because I wouldn't trust the hotel alarm clock whether you are staying at Hilton or Marriott or you are staying at a cheap hotel. It's the same everywhere. The clock they give you is very low quality and usually they are very dirty never properly cleaned and I wouldn't rely on them. Let's say I have a flight in the morning and I wouldn't just rely on the hotel alarm clock to whip me up and to go to the airport. And also in terms of alarm clock on cell phone which is a good thing but you are dealing with a few different things when you are in a foreign country. One of them is that you don't know the exact time because you are in a different time zone so the watch might dysfunction and it happened to me in the past that sometimes the alarm clock on my watch just didn't work. There's no reason no nothing. It simply didn't turn on and I missed the alarm. But usually I always have two sets of alarm set so even if I miss one then I have another one. So for those reasons I wouldn't just rely on hotel alarm clock and my cell phone alarm clock. And also whenever you are buying an alarm clock keep in mind that do not buy a cheap alarm clock which is going to go out of work after like one month or two months. So buy something from a reputable company and also be careful about the battery the watch uses because most of the cheap alarm clock are even expensive alarm clocks. They use coin size battery for example CR2032 or other coin size batteries. Those are expensive to replace and usually hard to find as well. So buy something which runs on regular double layer triple layer battery and you're going to have things easier in the future if you need to change your watch battery. So that's all about that. Now let's start with unboxing. So we're going to look at the package and see some of the features we have here. So here's the alarm clock and it has super glow screen and it's got calendar and temperature as well. And it has 12-24 hour format, snooze button, temperature and calendar which was just mentioned here. And on here let's see what we have. So you can actually rotate 180 degree and it falls into a convenient compact unit which I like. And then some other features we have here is that two inch jumbo display. One touch glow display, a snooze alarm repeats every five minutes and display time 12 to 14-24 hour format. Displays date and month and temperature. You have the option of higher Celsius and flip cover and triple layer battery which I was just referring before that always go with triple layer or double layer battery. Okay, so let's open the box. Hopefully I'll not need a scissor or a knife. Okay, so it looks like we have packaging here. So here is the alarm clock and let's take a look what's in here. Okay, so it looks like they included the battery and then the box is empty. I'll set it aside here. Okay, so here let's take a look here. Okay, so these are the basic instructions. I'll return it on or how to set the alarm clock. Okay, so which I don't need to go through. And on the other side it looks like it's in French. I'll just set this aside here. And what we have here is Marathon since 1939. So that I've been making watches which are mainly military and government grades watches since 1939. Okay, so here they are giving some other alarm clocks made by the same company Marathon. So it looks like they have lots of alarm clocks which even I didn't know. They look something very simple and handy one which is the one I just bought. But they have lots of other options as well. And on this side, okay, so let's see what we have. More watches. Okay, so they have lots of watches to choose from. I'll set it aside here and let's look at our watch. Okay, I take it out here, put it in here. Okay, so this is very lightweight. That's the thing I like.  And here's the Marathon watch, a model number. And let's open it. Okay, so I believe it should be this way. Okay, so we have it, we have the clock here. And another thing, everything is in front. You know all the settings. So everything in front which is a very good feature. Some of the alarm clocks, mainly which are cheap alarm clocks, you buy everything in the back and it's very hard to set because you cannot see in the front and the back at the same time. But I like having everything in front. And let's see if I can rotate this. Okay, so here is the feature. Okay. So when you rotate it, then it just, you know, come this way. And you can stand it like this. But when you don't rotate it, you can keep it this way as well. Okay. So I guess rotating just gives you better visibility in terms of looking at the alarm clock because you're just looking at the alarm clock here without the base or stand. But when you're not rotating, just looking at the whole thing. So you might not want to look at this. I guess that's the purpose of the rotation, which I'm not sure I'm just guessing. Okay, so here are some of the buttons. And let's take a look here. Turn clockwise to open, turn counterclockwise to close. Okay. So I have a feeling this one looks like the battery chamber. So if we check it out and Max XL battery. Actually the battery they gave is not cheap either. So which I like. Usually if you buy an alarm clock, they, you know, insert very cheap battery which runs away after one month. But this one looks okay. So put it in here and just close it. And I think there's a protective screen or cover. Let's see if I can take this out. Okay. Okay. Actually I don't have nail. So I kind of take this out to show you. Okay. Okay. So I was able to take it out. Okay. Here. Once I take it out, put it here. Okay. So once I entered the battery, looks like it started working, but with a time is 12. And let's try the glow button, super glow. So if you press it here, because there is a sunlight outside, you cannot see that much.  Who should be good enough at night? I'm just giving the base reset temperature, which are not correct because it's 12 o'clock, 1, 1, Thursday or Tuesday, temperature is 25.5. So it looks like these are not correct. So I'm not going to go through all the settings and stuff. So basically this is what I wanted to show you. It shouldn't be that complicated to set everything. It shouldn't take that long. And this is a very good travel companion. Or even if you want to just keep it next to your pillow or on night stand when you sleep, should be good for that as well. So that concludes the marathon travel alarm clock. If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing.  Thank you.


It is 1923 and Victor Emanuel III of Italy is exploring the site of the disaster. As the king casts his gaze across the ruined homes downstream from the glano dam, the question of how must have crossed his mind. This dam was only just built, no? Usually you'd only want a king to visit the successful completion of a project. Instead, he is roaming the aftereffects of a catastrophic dam failure. And needless to say, this is not good. Today we're looking at the glano dam failure. My name is John and welcome to Plainly Difficult. Background. Our story starts here and the beauty of the Scalvy Valley in the province of Bergamo in Lombardi, Northern Italy. In the early years of the 20th century, a proposal was put forward to exploit the Gleno River for hydroelectric power. The region was home to the Bigano Textiles Company. And they wanted some of that juicy electricity to run their factories. This would result in a proposal being put forward in 1907 for a dam across the gleno to create and hold a new reservoir. This would in turn be used to power a hydroelectric power station. It would take nearly 10 years from proposal to project commencement, when in 1916 clearingworks had begun preparing the site for a new dam's foundations. The original plans submitted in 1913 were for the dam to be a masonry gravity type. However, these plans would change in 1917, not long after the stone masonry basement, close to the lower part of the valley, had been constructed. It turned out that a gravity dam would have cost a bit more than the project had anticipated. As such, the dam was re-envisioned as a narrow reinforcement concrete arch type. It would be 220 meters long, which when seen from the top down would look like an S shape. And in total, the dam had 25 arches with a height of 45 meters. The newer design was to make use of the first plan's gravity dam's foundations. When you look at pictures of it, like many Italian projects from the time, it's pretty impressive. And pretty, well pretty. However, its beautiful facade was hiding some worryingly ugly defects. As early as 1920, concerns were raised about the quality of the mortar used on the dam. The concrete was also not the best, and in a strange form of recycling, this steel reinforcement made use of surplus anti-grenade nets from the First World War. This would hardly create uniform strength throughout the structure. Although allowed to change from gravity to multiple arch type design, no one actually reviewed the project's permits.  Even though the project had issues, by the start of 1923, roughly 80% of the dam had been completed. Water had even begun to collect in what would become the Gleno reservoir. And by completion in October of the same year, some 4.5 million cubic meters of water was being held back by the dam. The whole reason for the construction was for the generation of electricity after all, and as such, the associated power plant had a capacity of 3,728 kilowatts. The new dam and reservoir now offered many generations of power for the region. Electricity, modernity, what's not to like? Well, until it all came crashing down. The disaster. By December, the dam and lake were complete. For 40 days, the reservoir was full testing the strength of the structure, but unfortunately, at roughly 6.30 am on the 1st of December 1923, the dam began to shift. This was noticed by a worker. However, before anything could be done, just 45 minutes later, an 80 meter long breach was formed in the central portion of the dam, within a blink of an eye, the 45 meter tall central section was gone, and a torrent of water battered its way down the valley. The first victims were in the village Bugigio, which was almost completely obliterated. Vendezzo, Afrazoni of Coler, as well as Corna di Darfo. Povo and Valboana power stations were also hit, together with a bridge and the Chapel of Coler. Water would pummel the valley as the lake emptied its some 4.5 million cubic meters of water. To add further destruction, the flooding, like what we've seen before, in other dam disasters, picked up debris along the way, smashing buildings and other infrastructure. The flow of debris and water reached speeds of up to 45 kilometers an hour. In the ensuing chaos, officially 356 people would lose their lives, although this figure is thought to be much higher, with some estimates of over 600, as many hundreds were reported missing after the disaster. The reservoir was at an elevation of 1,535 meters, and the floodwaters would finally settle at Lake Iseo at an elevation of 186 meters. The water had dropped over a kilometer in elevation in less than an hour. The flood had destroyed three villages, five power stations, as well as other businesses and factories. Although happening in the 1920s, hundreds of photographs would be taken of the aftermath. The Italian public, fascinated as well as shocked by the disaster, bought newspapers by the tonnload in order to get as much information on the glenodams failure. Clearly the dam didn't work as intended, and with rather a large death toll, and several villages smashed up, a large question had to be asked. How did the glenodam fail? Investigation Almost as soon as the water settled and the casualty numbers were calculated, engineers started picking through the rubble of what remained of the glenodam. It wouldn't take long to see that construction methods and materials were, shall we say, a bit s**t. The grenade nets were seen, and the poor quality of mortar and concrete were pretty apparent upon initial investigation. During the foundation construction, it was found that pretty much anything was thrown in amongst the concrete. This included tar, scrap metal, wood, and the usual junk of waste food, cigarette butts and newspapers. This didn't give the concrete a proper base to adhere to. Eyewitness reports stated that the sand used wasn't properly washed, resulting in chunky and more importantly crumbly concrete. Mortar was found to be more porous, allowing water from the reservoir to seep in between the joints. Even the fact that the reservoir was filled too quickly was a cause as the vital concrete hadn't been given enough time to cure. Investigators found inadequate checks by the civil engineers board, lack of qualified technical staff during work, poor management of the workers, and a conspiracy of silence created by most workers fearing dismissal if they raised concerns. All of these poor design and construction choices meant that the dam was too weak to hold back the reservoir. This was caused by water seepage into the foundations, which eroded any bonds between the structure and its base. It was just a matter of time before failure would occur. The disaster essentially doomed however any future art style dam in the country. Although this style of structure wasn't actually the cause, instead it was the bodge job, as well any other style built in a poor fashion would have failed just like Gleno did. On the 30th December 1923 the public prosecutor charge rose in charge of the dam construction and the engineer. They were accused of causing disaster through negligence with multiple counts of manslaughter. The trial would last a few years, taking place between January 1924 and July 1927. It ended up with the conviction of the managing director of the concessionary firm and of the designer. Both were sentenced to three years and four months in prison. This would be later reduced to two years. They were also ordered to pay compensation, but again this was overturned. But this would not be the last of the dam failures in Italian history. But maybe these will be the subject for a future video. Oh yes and on my new disaster scale I'm going to rate this one as a dumpster fire. This is a plain difficult production.

I'd like to give a very nice warm thank you to my patrons and YouTube members for your financial support as well as you my loyal viewers who always come back every week for your dose of disaster. And all that's left to say is Mr Music, play us out please.

Let us see different types of RNAs. As you know, only one type of DNA is present in the cells, but the ribonucleic acids, they are of three types, present in the living organisms. And these are messenger RNA or generally called as mRNA, transfer RNA or TRNA and ribosomal RNA or RRNA. So these three types of ribonucleic acids are present in the cells of living organisms. First type is the messenger RNA. As you know, the process of protein synthesis is carried out in the cytoplasm and you also know the DNA is only present in the nucleus. It does not go out to the cytoplasm. So how it conveys message from nucleus to the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm to synthesis the protein. So definitely there will be some messenger and this messenger is a ribonucleic acid and this messenger is mRNA or messenger RNA. It is that type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the protein biosynthetic machinery that is ribosomes, which is present in the cytoplasm. This mRNA provides the templates that specify amino acid sequences in the polypeptide chain because this mRNA molecule, it takes the information from DNA. So it contains the templates copied from DNA and these templates are then translated in the form of sequence of amino acids in a protein molecule. So this mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus from DNA and then after synthesis it is transported from nucleus to the cytoplasm. The process of synthesis of mRNA on a DNA template in the nucleus is known as transcription. This mRNA molecule as you know it is for the synthesis of a particular protein and the synthesis of a protein is specified by a particular gene. So actually this mRNA molecule contains information of a particular gene. It may contain the information of one gene or more than one gene. So it may be monocystronic or polycystronic. In case of monocystronic this mRNA molecule it is only called one gene. That is it is responsible for the synthesis of only one type of protein. While in case of a polycystronic mRNA it contains the information for more than one gene. So it is responsible for the synthesis of more than one type of the proteins. So the length of mRNA molecule it is variable because it may be monocystronic containing one gene or it may contain many genes and then the length of gene is also very variable. So the length of mRNA molecule is also variable. The second type of ribonucleotide which is present in the cytoplasm that is transfer RNA or tRNA. Transfer RNA serves as an adapter molecule in the process of protein synthesis. How it acts as adapter? To one end this tRNA molecule is linked with an amino acid. So it carries that amino acid to the site of protein synthesis that is to the ribosome. So in this way it is acting as an adapter. So the main function of transfer RNA as the name is indicating is the transfer of amino acid from different sites of the cytoplasm to the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm. These transfer RNA molecules they pair with mRNA in such a way that the amino acids which are carried by these tRNA molecules they are joined to the growing polypeptide chain in a correct sequence. So as you can see in this illustration this is tRNA molecule and it contains an amino acid which is covalently attached with this tRNA molecule and here you can see a specific sequence of three letters. This sequence is called anticodon and this anticodon is complementary with the sequence of three letters on mRNA. So this tRNA molecule will combine with the mRNA with the help of this specific anticodon and when this tRNA molecule attaches here with this protein synthetic machinery it hands over its amino acid to the already growing polypeptide chain and after handing over its amino acid it goes out of the synthetic complex and here you can see this tRNA molecule is without any amino acid. So in this way new tRNAs with new amino acids come they give their amino acid to the polypeptide chain and they go out without the amino acid. In this way they help in the synthesis of proteins. The third type of ribonucleic acid is ribosomal RNA or RRNA. Ribosomal RNAs are components of the ribosomes and ribosomes are the protein synthetic machineries. Ribosomal RNA is a predominant material in the ribosome and it comprises about 60% of ribosomes by weight. It has a number of functions to perform in the ribosome during the process of protein synthesis.
