My name's Carl Peterson. I'm with the Ag and Biosystems Engineering Department in North Coast State University and also work with the Extension Service at NDSU. And today what I'm going to talk about is plugging drains in homes to prevent sewage backup. It's a pretty big issue when it comes to times of flooding or even in times of summer when you get some some high rains that can possibly backup sewage systems into homes. What I'm going to talk about today is what could cause it, where it could come from, and exactly some areas where you should look for in home where you could have some sewage backup and also some different techniques of plugging those holes where that sewage backup can occur. Start with the why this could possibly have, why you could possibly have sewage backup in your house. If the sewage treatment plant in the city or even a portion of the city is overwhelmed by water from either flooding or storms, then that could possibly back up that system and it could back up into your house. The potential for that could be sewage in your house. We can imagine why that could be a problem damaged to the building. It could be smell and clean up and also disease as a potential. When should we plug our drains in a house to prevent that from happening? Well, the wind should be constant. There's a couple of new things newer homes are built with backwater or backflow check valves built into them. Older homes will need to have those plugged as we go. And the main thing is to prepare for that before the flooding ever even occurs. We'll give a couple examples. We're here in a basement in a home and I can show you an example right over here. They have built into the home. It's called a backflow backwater valve. It's built right in and it's got a cap on it and what you need to do is to make sure to check these things periodically at least once a year because you can have different kind of corrosion in here. Things can get caught behind this flap here. This is the actual flap that sits in the pipe and the water, the sewage from the house comes in and pushes that valve open and heads out to the sewage treatment plant. If water starts to back up, it backs up and hits that valve. It sits and it's stuck right there and this cap is actually what holds that valve in place. So if this cap isn't seated in place, this flapper can pop right out and stay out. So you have to make sure this is clean around it and you have to make sure that cap is seated in there properly. And make sure this cap is on correctly and you don't want to over tighten these because you can't break the cap. But just make sure to finger tighten that and check that valve. For homes that don't have these systems in it, the main thing, the best thing that you can possibly do is prepare ahead of time because if a flood is imminent or if a city announces that it's time to plug those drains, you don't want to be scrambling around then trying to find the right size plugs because there's going to be a lot of other people that have already picked those up and you may not have time to get to a hardware store. You want to have those plugs at the drains ready to go. And here's a prime example. We've got this plug that's the right size plug for this floor drain pipe over here. We've already removed the screws from this floor drain. The problem is it doesn't sit in there and it won't seat. So once I tighten it down, it still doesn't stay in that drain. So we needed to actually have a deeper plug for this one particular location here. And that's just an example of how you want to get these plugs ahead of time and test them to make sure they'll actually fit in there and tighten them up. It sits in there and I can push it in better. Tighten it down to hand tighten so it doesn't break. And that seats nice and tight and that'll hold that possibility for backflow up into that valve right there. Okay, here's another area where the homeowner definitely needs to prepare in advance. And here's a perfect example of that. This homeowner in the last flood situation they had here, they tried to plug this drain and they couldn't get the proper size drain plug to fit in there because of this housing on the outside of this is a typical washing machine hookup. You got the hot and cold water and then the drain hose coming out. What they actually had to do what they did here they cut the pipe off and then they were able to plug the pipe over here in this way instead. So these are the situations we need to check that ahead of time. A lot of times one of the best situations is if you glue a cap on there, a threaded cap that threaded cap can be threaded right out of it. It can be sitting you could leave it sitting right in here. All you have to do is pull the drain hose out, thread that cap in and you're good to go. We're obviously in a shower and the shower drain that can be fairly easy or can be a little more difficult. It depends on the makeup of the shower. This one here is real simple because it's simply the cap simply prized right off. This one's not screwed down and it's not sealed. Some of them will actually have caulk around it.  Showers and bathtubs and basements can definitely be some of the more trickier situations. That's why you want to prepare in advance. An example is if you can't get this grate off of here to get this plug in there, you might have to get a little more creative. In some ways that you could possibly do it or you could you know a piece of rubber or people have even used a rubber ball that's bigger than the diameter. This one's a little bit bigger from this plug but what you can do, you can wedge that on top of that and somehow wedge that, brace that to the floor. You could take a board, put it on top of this and brace that to the ceiling. Make sure you're covering the floor choice and you don't damage the plaster on top with what you brace it down with. Bathtubs can present special problems because of the way the different drains are and also the overflow valves, the overflow drain that's on them. First of all, this drain plug, some things you can do is you can possibly just press this drain plug into place but you need to brace that somehow. You can either take a board and push it up against the ceiling or put you know only some people have used heavy sandbags on top to make sure to hold that plug in place. You can unscrew these and I've already unscrewed this one because they're not always the easiest to unscrew. You have to get them just right or else the screw that's inside doesn't turn. You lift it up partially and then you can unscrew those. What happens a lot is that capple unscrews so you won't be able to pull it off. So that takes a little bit of effort to try to figure out exactly the right way to get that to come out. This one sensibly has screws that I pulled out already. And then to plug that drain, you simply get the proper size drain plug that fits into that to plug that in. If you can't get that out, that's where you need to be creative. If say for instance a lot of times that can be stripped and it can be stuck in there, you'll have to come up with a different way to plug that. Possibly cover it like we said before with a piece of rubber and hold that down or take towels or whatever it takes to put pressure on that and make sure that that plug doesn't come out. Because you can push that plug in and hold that pressure that plug in but you have to brace it somehow. The other dilemma is this overflow drain right here. And you can see that I've already pulled these screws out. This drain here, it actually goes down and back so these longer valves don't fit in there properly. What you can buy is they do sell marine type drain plugs that are really shallow, they're really narrow, they don't have the top, they don't have these top screws on them. They're simply a bolt on top. You shove it in and use a socket or a pair of pliers to tighten that bolt down. It squeezes that rubber gasket and fills that hole. Otherwise you're going to have to be creative to try to figure out a way to plug that. Here's a typical sink and some of the issues you can face with that. With the drain plug built into it, you could possibly put that down and hold that drain somehow brace that to hold that in there. The dilemma comes in when you have the overflow over here. You need also to make sure you plug that. The preferred method is to just ignore those all together and go underneath the sink. And what you do as you go underneath and these new sink drains, they're simply hand tightened PVC and make sure to start with to put a bucket underneath. These should be simply hand tightened. You just loosen those. We'll loosen this one. And this pipe here is actually threaded so I can buy a cap made specifically for this that screws that threads right on to that and that holds that secure. If I can't find one of those caps or I don't have anything available, I can get a plug that actually fits inside of that drain also. We're in a local hardware store to demonstrate how we plug toilet drains. Sometimes toilets can be the hardest because you actually have to remove the device. Toilets have a little bit of extra weight to them and the drains can be different sizes anywhere between three to four inches or other sizes too. So let's show a couple of things. The first thing you definitely want to make sure to do is you want to make sure to shut off the water to the toilet. So we'll start out with that. We'll close the valve. It'll be under attached underneath the toilet. It's always pretty generally obvious to see. The next thing you want to do is go ahead and flush the toilet.  And the other next thing you want to do is try to get as much water out of this bowl as possible. A couple of ways to do that. You can take a bucket of water from the sink, pour in there. That'll make that toilet flush. That water stays out of there and then you can either soak it out or just leave the last little bit of water in there. To remove the toilet, the first thing we need to do is pull off this decorative cover. And it may be silicone down or it might be there might be putty that's holding that on. So you might have to pry that off a little bit. You'll find a bolt underneath. You'll take that bolt and you'll undo the nut holding that bolt down. Hopefully there's a washer also holding that in. And now let's do the same thing on the other side of the toilet. And then your toilet's ready to go. You also have to make sure to check around the bottom of the bowl. A lot of times these things will be caught in place. There might be some sealant holding this down. So you might need to take a putty knife and cut that away to loosen the toilet to be able to move that toilet out from underneath. We've just removed the toilet. And what you're going to see underneath is this bolt here is actually seated into a flange in the floor like this. And this is where the toilet flushes down through this hole here. There's going to be a lot of wax around this because there's a wax seal that seals this to the toilet to keep gases and different fluids escaping from the toilet. The first thing you need to do is clean that wax off there to make sure you get a good seal with the plug. The other thing that's a good idea to have some paper newspaper or cardboard around when you pull this toilet off that you can set it on so you don't make a mess on the floor in your bathroom. When you've got that cleaned off make sure you get the right size plug in this one. We got a four inch hole so we've got a four inch plug. Tighten that plug down until it's finger tight. And what you can also do if you want to make extra sure because there will be some pressure or is the potential to have some pressure on this is some people have taken a board and they've drilled holes in it where the bolts match up. Lay that board over top of that plug to hold it in there and then put the nuts back on to hold that board in place. It depends on the kind of plug you have also. When you're ready to reinstall your toilet you'll pull the plug out. You'll get the proper type of wax ring. This is the other important thing to buy ahead of time because if there is a potential for a flood these things are going to be hard to find so make sure you have extra wax rings ready for when you're ready to put your toilet back on so you don't have to wait for the make sure that they're in stock. You'll take that wax ring the specific one for your specific situation. Pull whatever plastic covering there is on there and this has to be applied to the toilet first before it's applied to the floor.  Put a little bit of pressure on the toilet maybe turn it back and forth a little bit and then use body pressure to push it into place. Reinstall the bowls turn the water back on and you're ready to go. Here's a good example of why you have to plan ahead we're in an aisle here of the plumbing aisle the hardware store and look at the examples there's all kinds of different sizes of pipes and connections and it all depends on the specific situation in your house their standard size of pipes for different applications in a home but the problem is those standard pipes have changed throughout the years. So I'm not going to have the luxury of carrying my pipe or my drain with me I'm going to have to measure that before I come to the store. Here's an example here I can find this this is possibly coming out say this is my drain coming out from underneath my sink I have the p-trap hanging underneath I simply remove the pipe there I find the right size cap that'll screw right onto that and seal that drain off nicely. If I don't have threaded pipes I just have a straight hole I also have to find the right size plug that fits that as long as I plan ahead


This barred galaxy is about half the size of the Milky Way. Astronomers estimate that two-thirds of all spiral galaxies have a bar structure at its center, including the Milky Way. The swirling spiral arms are the birthplace of new stars. Their high temperatures make them shine blue. Clouds of dust and gas distributed through the spiral arms, glowing red in the image, reservoirs of material for even more stars. The bright stars on the left are Milky Way stars in the line of sight to NGC 3344.

So I've never actually done a hardware video on this channel almost exclusively. I talk about software and Linux and all this stuff that was associated with Linux I've never done one on actual hardware that I own before for the most part I just assume most people don't care and Honestly, well, I do own a lot of hardware most of my hardware is actually quite old now The obvious exception that is the keyboard that I talked about on the podcast that it was quite expensive and I'm quite proud of it but Telling everyone that you spent a lot of money on a custom mechanical keyboard kind of feels Weird, so I don't talk about that at all all that much either other than the fact that it's awesome and it was entirely too expensive, but that's not the point of the Point is that normally I don't do hardware stuff on this but over the last Four or five months or so. I've been on a quest of a certain sort I've been trying to find a really good mouse now the mouse that I've Used prior to this for like a year and a half or so was the MX master 2 You might not be able to see it, but it's sitting back there on my standing desk And it's a good mouse. It still works fine. It's a little worn out, but it was fine So when I started to think about getting a new mouse I was just going to replace it with the new version.   So it's pretty expensive. So I was using the MX master 3 for a while And it was good. It's fine. The thing is is the thing about this desk is that it's it's wide But it has a drawer over here underneath this monitor So the where the keyboard and stuff sits is on this little pull-out keyboard tray and it's only about 25 or 26 inches wide. So that's the reason why I don't use a full with keyboard I have to use a small one but I also means that I don't have a lot of room for a mouse and I also don't have a lot of room for a mouse pad and The thing about this desk is it's made of oak and it's old so it has Scruffs and scratches and all this stuff on it from use So it makes it a necessity to have a mouse pad and the problem is is that for the most part If you just want a mouse pad they can and that sits off to the side of your keyboard It takes a space, right? And I don't really have that space So when distro tube did his video on the Kensington trackball that he owns I was like you wanna know I've never tried a trackball before and DT usually knows what he's talking about. So I'll buy this thing. It was like $80 at the time I'll leave links to the ones that I'm talking about in the video description But the Kensington one I bought it and I got it home and it sucks like it's so bad like I don't I can't I Don't know whether or not there's a setting somewhere Either in software or hardware that I needed to change in order to get this thing to be more accurate Or if it just wasn't compatible with the way I use a mouse but for whatever reason that is the least accurate pointing device I've used since like the like the Manual ball my mice that used to be the norm, you know, you know, I'm talking about the mouse had like a ball at the bottom and Those things weren't accurate at all like they had rollers and stuff to X and Y rollers But anyways the point is that Kensington trackball is very very inaccurate Like if you want to edit a video in that thing where you actually have to have to accurately slice You know like a timeline It's almost impossible. They could just did not work. So at that point I was kind of like maybe a trackball is not for me You know, maybe this is just the way all trackballs are I'll go back to using the MX master 3 and I did for a little while like I couldn't use that for more than a week I don't know if I made it a week. It just was not a good device, but I'm kind of stubborn, you know, like Everyone a lot of people say the trackballs are really good. So I Figured you want strew it. I'll try a different one. So then I ended up with this one here. Now, this is a Logitech Something or the other I don't know the exact model I will look it up and again have a link in the video description and The difference between this and the Kensington winter I can't actually hold up because it's you know elsewhere I keep looking up actually where it's at But the difference between this one and that one is that that one is a finger tracker meaning that you do it with The claw this one here is a thumb tracker when you use it with your thumb and this is a good device it's really accurate and It kind of feels like a normal mouse. It's kind of shaped like a normal mouse You can actually hold it like a normal mouse and it has the normal mouse You know button placements and it has the normal scroll wheel and stuff Whereas with the Kensington the scroll wheel goes around the trackball and that's really annoying It was really hard to get used to and it was also really freaking loud But that was kind of behind the point the thing is about this one is that for the longest time I didn't know how to clean it like I'm a dude, so I don't read instructions like at all So there's a little hole at the bottom of this and I just thought that that was a place to put like a q-tip So you can clean it It wasn't for like a until like a week ago that Zany told me that that Hole there was so you can put something sharp in there to pop the ball out So that you could actually clean inside the hole I felt like a dumbass because of course that's what it's for but up until that point I just assumed it couldn't be cleaned and it needed to be clean because like the ball was Had a lot of friction and it just was not smooth and it became almost unusable And because I didn't know how to clean that thing about sometimes actually sometime in early January Before I knew how to clean that and assumed that it was just broken because again Much too easy to read instructions. I decided I was gonna try one last track ball And I looked for some recommendation and I saw a recommendation from craft computing about the elicom huge And that looks like this now I saw this and I was like this thing looks cool like it looks Neat right it has a lot of buttons on it that you can program and It looks like it's neat and craft computing had said that it was really good And it took ages for this thing to get here like I only just got this this week I ordered it in early January it came from Japan and apparently shipping is a big deal now but the point is I got this thing and it's just as inaccurate as The Kensington one only it seems to be something that need need to break in a little bit I Looked at some reddit posts and apparently you can go through and use it for like seven or ten days or whatever And it gets smoother like that's the problem with this one isn't so much that is inaccurate like I can actually edit a video and Do all the stuff that you need to do with a normal mouse on this on the elicom huge and it works fine It's just not smooth right and now that I know that you can pop the ball out like this I Figured well, you know, maybe there's just something in there That is, you know keeping it from being smooth, but that doesn't seem to be the case and like if you if you're doing big mom Movements, it's not bad, but when you're trying to do small movements, there's like some friction. It's not great and The scroll wheel the scroll wheel here is on the side and that has taken a while to get used to So what's the point like why am I making this video? Why have I spent 10 minutes talking about mice and track balls? The reason why is because I I wanted to Try to caution people that are out there looking for something new because the thing about at least track balls If you're looking for a track ball, it seems to be Very very hit or miss or whether or not it's good or not And there doesn't seem to be a lot of really good ones out there around this price point I was never going to spend there's there are a few out there that are like $250 or more that are supposedly fantastic track balls I'm never spending that amount of money on a track ball Especially now maybe if it was like my first one and I didn't have this knowledge of going through these three And it was just naive about it Maybe but now that I've gone through and spent three that are about three that are on the hundred dollars I don't think I'd ever spend more than this on a track ball. This one here still remains my favorite out of the three The Kensington one is useless for me because it's just not accurate at all Trying to pinpoint, you know, where you need to click is just not possible Without, you know trial and error really, it's not great the alicom I'm gonna continue to use that one and see if I can get it to be broken in like they say on Reddit Hopefully that gets a little bit more smooth as you use it because apparently it collects some like hand oil or something like that And it get will get smoother. I did try some like some kind of like keyboard lube Like this crowd talk stuff and that didn't work To make it smoother But anyways, the reason why I was making the video is just because I want to caution anybody out there who's out there looking for Something like this is that I highly recommend you not to be like me if you find one That you order one and you find that it's not right for you send it back I should have done that But I I'm usually stubborn to keep the stuff that I ordered I hardly ever sent anything back unless it's absolutely broken I just would like to recommend that you don't be like me if you find one that you don't it just doesn't work for you Send it back Because at least when it comes to track balls, it seems to be very very hit or miss You know the one thing that I missed is I used to have the g502 with the wire It's a gaming mouse was way beyond more than what I ever needed But I missed that thing because it had weights in the bottom I don't know why I thought about that just now But anyways, I like a hefty mouse is the thing is that I like a mouse that's you know has some heft to it It's not as big of a deal when you have a track ball mouse But that was one of the reasons why I didn't like the MX master 3 was because it's it's a little bit lighter Then the MX master 2 was and it threw me off The g502 had weights in the bottom and that's one thing about the alicom huge here that I have a bigger problem with Did this thing it feels cheap like it was like 80 bucks, but It feels cheap, you know, and that's not a good experience when you're talking about kind of money Anyways, this is was a rambly video. I'm sure it's not going to appeal to very many people But I just wanted to put it out there kind of to document my Adventures over the last few months of trying to find a track ball that works for me It's probably most of this has come down to the preference that I just seem to be happier with a track ball that Use the thumb instead of the index fingers and the middle finger So maybe that is anyway, so if you have comments about this kind of stuff, you can leave those in the comment section below I'm gonna stop now before I ramble on for any more time You can also follow me on Twitter at Linuxcast.

Hello there lovers and friends today. I'm joined by my lover and my friend mr. Jared Brady and we're talking about what do you do in relationships where you get water all over me oh my bad sorry okay all right let's start again can you get it out we can just pick it back up like we just a little bit of water that I spilled it's a little bit of film like we can you know I know but we have to refocus the camera we're already set I know that's why I'm saying let's just continue going is it that hard you're not even sorry we all know how important it is to feel loved in romantic relationships but it's not until someone is either crying or screaming that we recall how crucial it is to feel understood and a part of understanding our partners is knowing when we've f***ed up when we've hurt them whether that was intentional or not and unfortunately saying sorry is often not enough because if it were all arguments would end here oh my bad sorry you know in disagreements when one person is like what do you want me to say I already said I was sorry and the other person is like no actually you did it what they're really saying is you didn't speak my apology language you didn't say sorry in a way that makes me feel resolved and since they are the one who's been slighted they're the one who gets to call the shots apology languages are a genius way of thinking about conflict resolution and it was created by the same minds behind the five love languages now knowing what your partner's specific apology languages can turn this oh man it's so crazy run it to you man good to see you you have a good one once again you didn't introduce me no I mean I'm sorry I look we had we caught him in the moment we're talking just next time introduce yourself next time introduce myself into this come on man like it's so embarrassing yeah I know I dropped the ball I'm sorry you tell me this all the time I'm working on it I'm sorry the five different apology languages are expressing regret genuinely repenting accepting responsibility I dropped the ball I'm sorry as you tell me this all the time I'm working on it making restitution and requesting forgiveness what is so important to note that when it comes to apology languages hell even love languages or turn on triggers any of these quizzes that we are going to be doing yes naturally all of us like all of these things which of us would not like a partner who expresses regret makes restitution and accepts responsibility but what we're trying to do with these quizzes is give our partners a point of clarity we are building a foundation to say this is the bare minimum this is the most important thing to me and then yes we can go on to nuances after that try to think about it like a roadmap you're giving somebody a map who's never successfully been somewhere before and saying here's how you get from a conflict to be resolution now once they get good at this route can you say stop a Chipotle on the way absolutely so that is what you are doing when you give someone your apology language or your love language or your turn on trigger you are giving this person the foundation you are essentially giving them the cheat code for how to get you out of your emotions and into the moment how you can stop making the conflict so explosive and now it can become productive so for example I know in my relationship that Jared requires for me to accept responsibility if he brings up a slight and the first thing that I do is say that I'm sorry but then go but this morning you did I've just added an extra hour on to the disagreement and now his emotions are even more heightened the best thing I can do if I want the conflict to become constructive is to accept responsibility and say my bad I completely dropped the ball I should have not have done that like you're right and maybe 20 minutes later I can get to the whole nuances of what happened this morning as to why I acted that way but I know the first thing that he requires is for me to accept responsibility my apology language is making restitution and I mean it like in the most literal way like if you break my watch offer to fix it if I'm out with Jared and I'm like I feel like you're being really distant I don't really feel connected to you what I'm really saying is can we make out right the second and once we do that we can move on to the other again more constructive side of conflict resolution and so knowing someone's apology language is not about breezing past things it's not about making the argument as quick as possible because I do think that conflict can be a really healthy part of relationship and an opportunity for people to get to know each other better but you want to get your partner out of fight or flight mode you want to get them out of you versus me mode and I think knowing someone's apology language is an awesome way to accomplish that I'm making it my personal mission to turn all of you into relationship experts I believe that every single person on this planet deserves access to the tools to create the kinds of relationships romantic or not that they actually desire and that is what my book the game of desire five surprising secrets to dating with dominance is all about when you get the book you get to read about the true and sometimes truly turbulent story of how I took six awesome but chronically single women through my five phase program in hopes of making them all their own dating experts well today I want to start this program with you as well and the first of the five secrets is no you got to know yourself inside and out you got to know who you are and who you're not and to help you accomplish this I am gifting you all with myself summary workbook no strings attached it is comprised of my absolute favorite quizzes like the apology language personality assessments and activities that I have collected throughout my 10 plus years of being obsessed with intimacy and now you can find all of these things in one solid place and when you complete this workbook I promise you you will be in a position to transform not just your romantic relationships but your relationships with everyone overall and best of all when you do complete it I have an extra surprise just for you okay so you have your homework go ahead and go do that before you leave just for fun in the comment section below I would love to know what was your last argument about I'm not a good actor you know this I understand that but it's it's freaking water yo it's water who says that it's felt natural shit y'all that's the garbage truck you see I'm saying this is why I don't even like doing videos with you because you always had to like you always got to like bring it into you're a bad actor I'm a character what if you were sorry to get it let's move on if you were what I need is you to take a break and get a towel and we can move on from this you better fucking yeah no I'm not getting the towel


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Road to the Knockouts, team number two is here today on Friday inside of FIFA 22. Ultimate team, we have ourselves another promo Friday and the second week as expected of the Road to the Knockouts promo. I wanna talk about today the market. What's gonna be happening today? Also content-wise, objectives, SBCs, cards that are in packs. What is gonna go down today on Friday inside of this game? I wanna talk about that loading screen and how we're also gonna get some cards released early, just like we did last week via the Champions League Twitter page. Also talk about just what's going on in the pulse of this game with the market actually rising up a little bit yesterday with the division rivals rewards and the marquee matchups impacting the market the most. So if you're enjoying the videos on the channel, make sure to hit thumbs up and of course, subscribe if you're new around here. But let's take a look at this loading screen. Who are these players that EA might be hinting at on this loading screen? Well, we've done the research, we've done the thinking and to our best knowledge and our best guess, it kinda goes like this. The card on the left is probably going to be Tapsoba or Sengraven. Player in the middle looks like Marco Royce because a lot of people think it might be Timo Werner, but an 81 rated boost to 87 shooting on the Timo Werner would be an incredibly huge upgrade. So it looks like it might be more of a Marco Royce type card. We will see today of course. And then left wing 84 dribbling, that to me is El Shirawi because Roma does not have a card yet and since they are in the conference league, I feel like that would be the perfect item for EA to put in packs today to represent the conference league. Now, I'm gonna start up the video by saying this, there's a lot of stuff going around on Twitter. I know some of you guys have seen it, some of you guys have not. We take these with a grain of salt. All right, these are not true. They're not 100% verified. They could be true, but we do not know. There are some leaks floating around. I'm not a huge fan of leaks. I think that it takes the excitement and the surprise out of a lot of this, but there are a lot of names floating around and I am gonna show some right now so you'll prepare yourselves whether you do or do not wanna see. These are some names that are being thrown around for a potential road to the final players today. Amavi, Tapsoba, Fred, Werner, Diada and a Cruz objective, which kind of sounds dead unless they really give that a big boost. So those are some names that are being thrown around as well as the young, right? Again, these are not confirmed. These are just being talked about. We will see if any of these come today. Those are just some ideas of what cards could be out in packs today. Now, one thing that is 100% confirmed is that just like last week, the UEFA Champions League Twitter page is gonna be posting some of these cards an hour before. And last week, all they posted, I think it was Marquinhos, Vidal and I forget the last one that they posted, but they're gonna show us most likely three cards today that will be as a part of the team. They even use the wrong card design in their Twitter post, which I think is so funny, but we will see these an hour before the content drops. So, 5 p.m. UK, whatever time that is for you and one hour before the content drop in FIFA, they will be posting on this Twitter page at Champions League a couple of the cards that will be in packs today on Friday. So, that is what we're expecting, right? We are expecting, just like last week, new cards in packs today. Now, of course, last Friday we had 11 new ones, all of the road to the knockout, either Europa League, Champions League or the Conference League variety, which is probably what I would expect today, 11 new cards in packs. And as we started talking about how this market's gonna be impacted and how these cards are gonna be moving today, last week and this week, right? Week one and week two promos are very, very, very different in terms of the saved up packs. A lot of people, especially with the way the promos are working, it seems this year, where we have the first week is seven days and the second week is only five days. If you think about wants to watch, the wants to watch team two cards all went out of packs on Wednesday. The day, three days before, we actually got the road to the knockout promo on Friday or two days before. So, I think that's how it's gonna be this week. But then again, between team one and team two, you don't have people saving packs with no promo cards in packs. So today, I don't think the promo cards are gonna act like they did last week. If you guys remember, one week ago, we had this Esot card that took the game by storm, came out onto the market right away in the first 15 minutes. He was 100,000 coins, exploded to 190K within that first hour as people went out and bought this card up to use it in their teams. I really don't think you're gonna see stuff like that happening on the game today. It's probably gonna be more of a slow drop and a kind of progressional drop. Maybe the first hour and second hour, they get kind of low. They might bounce back after the third hour, but a lot of these cards are probably just gonna slow drop into the evening. That's what I would expect. Maybe rise up a little bit Saturday morning and a couple cards will have some fluctuations tonight as well. That always happens. But most of them are probably gonna start a little expensive and then drop it down just because you don't see as many saved up packs. When people save their rewards and they save their marquee matchups packs, you know, there might be a little bit of that, but it's not like we haven't had promo cards out of packs. Like last week, no promo cards were in packs. So people saved their packs because there was nothing to open for. This week, we've still had the team one in packs. So I think less people are saving. That's just my opinion. That's how I expect the promo cards to react on the market today. And for the rest of the market, I think a lot of the market today really just depends on how much panic selling there is this morning on Friday. Now, this is gonna take us into a little bit of a conversation on what happened yesterday on Thursday on this market. A lot of the meta cards went up, right? Gold Compenday was somebody who we talked about in last night's video as an item who would most likely go up after squad battery rewards, or sorry, division rivals rewards. Now my day's mixed up, man. What's going on here? Division rivals rewards. Yes, those are on Thursdays. Anyway, Compenday was 60,000 coins on Thursday right before rewards, and he rose up to about 67,000 coins. I'll just show you the graph so that we can explain this out and it makes sense. So Compenday went from 60K, 59,000 coins, up to 67, 68, dropped down like everything else on the market did on Thursday with the Markey matchup supply.  They gotta qualify for the weekend league. Even though there's like 30,000 plus people banned for weekend league this weekend, it looks like there's still demand. So you're seeing this card back up right now, 68,000 coins. You'll probably see some of these cards still maintain a higher price into the day-to-day on Friday and you'll probably start to see them drop lower as we get towards the content drop. But people are trying to spam their games early on Fridays to get their rewards as fast as possible. So that is one thing that you do see. So that's why you've got some of the market that is up, right? You've got Marquinhos, 136,000 coins. That is up. De Jong, 114, he's up in price. Durante is up a little bit. Pogba is up still some. Bruno was higher, but he is still a little bit up on the market. I would expect to see, you know, some of the gold cards would drop one to two hours before the promo. But as we, you know, go into this day on Friday, I don't expect to see a huge drop on the golds right away. That's gonna take a little bit. And then of course, when we get the packs open, the promo packs and all that stuff, if you're looking to buy a team for this weekend, there's gonna be potential time to buy in. Just like we saw with the Campembe graph as our example again, just as we saw, like when Marquinhos matchups hit yesterday, this guy went from 67 down to 63, you're gonna see a drop like this, if not greater today on Friday as we always do because of that pack supply. So if you're looking to buy gold cards or anything that is in packs for your team, I think during that first hour of the lighting rounds is gonna be a great shout for some of that, whether it's gold cards, or whether it's maybe a hero item for your squad, maybe it's a team of the week five item, like Indombole, Firmino, Nabri, Ansu Fati, whoever it may be, I would take a look at those in that first hour. Now, don't expect to see insanely crashing team of the week prices like we did last week on Thursday because, or on Friday, because last week, of course, there was the no loss glitch and there is not, as far as we know, a no loss glitch this weekend that has been patched, that has been fixed, the people that use that have been banned, they're not even on the game right now. So I wouldn't expect to see the insane drop offs on team of the week like we did last week because of that insane supply. But just for the rest of the market, if you're looking to buy a team today, if it's anything that is in packs, definitely take a look during that first hour of the packs being opened after the content drop. If you're looking to buy something for your team, it's maybe out of packs. Maybe it's even a road to the knockouts team one card. Maybe it's somebody like Phil Foden, a team of the week who is up 10K from being really low on Thursday, Wednesday night into Thursday yesterday. If it is an out of packs card, maybe an Informed Salah, Kimmich, Venetius, whoever it may be, if it's an out of packs item or a very rare item like a hero card too, you could watch the panic selling this morning on Friday, right? I think there is gonna be a little bit of panic selling on these cards in the morning today on Friday. So if there's any of these that you do want for your team, 100% the best time to pick these up, Barela 120, that's pretty cheap. I mean, this guy's obviously dropped off because of the Vidal and the Tonali, but what will be something to watch is these out of packs cards and if people start to sell them off before the content drop today, you might see them get to low points and then rebound later into tonight or Friday. That's just kind of how it goes with the hype and with the popularity of stuff on this game that is out of packs that is more rare. So keep an eye on those types of cards if you're wanting to trade there. If you're looking to specifically just make coins today, 100% if you're just specifically looking to make coins, sniping golds during those lightning rounds is gonna be a good look. Of course, you have to think about what cards are out in the game. If you think about somebody who gets a special card today, like we mentioned it, it looks like Royce on that loading screen. What would be a card that would link to this Royce that is very popular, that is in the Bundesliga, that a lot of people might wanna use? Well, of course, Erling Haaland. Now, he doesn't have any special cards. He's got a gold card. It's like 16,000 coins, but it is a gold card and he's higher rated. So he's gonna get supplied, but not an incredible amount. Maybe you would think about somebody, let's see, maybe even a Goretzka, right? A Goretzka card, you would probably link Royce to a Goretzka in your team with some Bundesliga links, maybe an Informed Kimmich. That kind of stuff with the strong links to these cards or maybe even like a Hero Coller or a Hero Mario Gomez, not the most meta cards, but just cards that would provide a green link to this Royce card, right? As we get the cards that are dropped into packs at 6 p.m., if you wanna make some buys on cards that are linking to the brand new popular road to the knockouts that do come out, you might see a little extra profit there today. But when it comes to me, I'm really thinking that I'm gonna be looking at heroes, at icons, at some of this out-of-packs market, just to see what there is, and just to see, you know, it's gonna all depend on the panic selling that I see this morning on Friday. If I see some big-time panic selling in a couple of specific areas on some cards that I think could rise, especially stuff that is extra hyped right now, like because of the Fofana card that was released yesterday, this Abedi Pelé and Ginola are both sky-high in price. Now, I don't plan to buy a Ginola, but if this guy would go down 100,000 coins in the panic this morning, then I would 100% take a look at a card like this on this game. So watch the icons, watch the heroes, watch the out-of-packs cards if you're specifically looking to make profit, and even watch some of the road to the knockouts cards from team one, right? We know that like this, some of these cards are, you know, they're pretty decently rare, and if we don't have any cards today that drop, like let's say, like Rodrigo right now is pretty cheap. He's 224,000 coins according to footpin, and this is down. I think it was like even 219. Like a couple minutes ago. If there's a right wing from the La Liga that would be dropped today, that would probably hurt this card's price right away. That's your only risk on buying an out-of-packs card before content every single day on Friday, right? Your only risk is that a card comes into the game that day that is in the same, basically a substitute item for the card that you bought, which would impact its price. So that's like the only risk with buying some of these cards before the content dropped today, and that's not that big of a risk in my opinion. So talking about what could be coming today, we should be getting another objective player. Since, of course, Andre is out for five more days. Now, this timer actually runs out on Wednesday, and I think the objective player that we see today on Wednesday is going to have a timer that runs out the same time as Andre. That's exactly what happens once to watch, and that'll tell us if they're gonna do a full second week on this promo, or just until Wednesday. I think it's gonna be the latter. I only expect these cards to be in packs until Wednesday, so I would expect another objective player. Of course, Cruz is the one that is being talked about, and then in SBC 100%, I would expect an SBC player as well. I do believe Ronaldo is expiring today, which is kind of interesting. Ronaldo and Benzema are both expiring today on Friday. Ronaldo's expiring in five hours, Benzema in nine hours. This does not mean that we're getting brand new player of the month already, but I'm just very, this is interesting. These Player of the Month SBCs, Ronaldo specifically, was just put out for a lot fewer days than I expected him to be. Delict is expiring as well, of course, so that means I 100% think we're getting another Champions League, most likely a Champions League road to the knockouts player inside of the SBC section today on this game. Maybe if we don't see a Manchester City player in the team, we might get a Manchester City SBC. Maybe if we don't see a Chelsea player in the team, we get a Chelsea SBC. That sort of thing could happen today. So one SBC player, one objective player, I would 100% expect, and then of course the cards that are in packs. And yeah, that's kind of the promo Friday for today. I'm being completely honest. There's not, it's not like a crazy promo Friday where we are expecting anything big to happen on the market or on the game. I mean, there is this code that was dropped by Foot Watch earlier this evening, and some people are talking about this and they're worried about it. I don't worry about, I'm not worried about this at all. It's basically just a player group. He says this was added to the code, not always, but usually these player groups are used as SBC requirements. I remember this happening last year in the second half of the year, later down in the line. I think it was for, like, I forget what promo it was, but maybe summer stars where they added a code for this and we almost thought that they might require, I think it was either summer stars or whatever the other promo was at the end of last summer for FIFA 21. So, and they were never required. So I'm not really sure what this means. I wouldn't be worried about this. I wouldn't be super speculative about this, but that is there, right? I guess that that is there and that that is known. So to be completely honest, what I'd be watching out for today on Friday is a little bit of panic selling and it all just depends on the cards that are dropped today, right? People are gonna be very hyped about the brand new cards that do come out in this game. They are gonna be fun to trade with and they're gonna fluctuate. I mean, these team one cards going out of packs, of course, you guys remember the crazy price drop that we've seen in this Hyunmin Sun in the past day because of Tottenham and losing to Vitesse. You can see that I'm searching for a Hyunmin Sun at like 870,000 coins and there's only one page of this card on the market. It's pretty crazy. So, you know, these wrote to the finals, wrote to the knockouts rather. They are pretty rare cards. So you're just gonna have to, if you're trying to make coins today, you're just gonna have to follow the hype, right? You're gonna have to go where the hype is, buy the cards that are hype and find the cards that people want to use in their team this weekend. And of course, also take into account and remember again that we do have a lot of people that are banned from this weekend league because of no lost glitches this past weekend. So we were thinking that would impact the amount of demand that there might be on this game today for a buyback. I think that that won't, I would judge the amount of buyback we have today if there's a lot of panic selling heading into the promo today, then there would be definitely a lot of buyback. If there's not a lot of panic selling, maybe not as strong of a buyback on this market today. I'm just curious to see what the objective is, what they release should be a fun Friday as always, right?  There's a lot to do. If you've got saved up packs, good luck. If you save 75 plus packs, I don't have any at the moment. I might do marquee matchups, we'll see. I just have some 83 rated fodder. I'm hoping that whoever they drop today as an SBC would be a banger of a live card. I mean, we're still kind of hoping for like the Kunde type player, right? Last year as road to the final, we had a Kunde objective that people absolutely loved. Now we had Fakir, he's kind of like our SBC card that was really hype, but we haven't technically had an objective card yet. So I really hope that the objective player today is better because Andre was just really not that hype. And I think we can do a lot better from an objective standpoint, EA sports. So I hope that they deliver on that point today in this game. But that's kind of the day. That's kind of what I'm expecting for today on content on Friday inside of FIFA 22. If you enjoyed this video, make sure to leave a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions. Let me know if you're looking to make coins.

Ugh.   It's so dumb.  I feel like I'm always missing out on things. It's not just the fun stuff either. I've got my GCSEs coming up and I can't get online to do any research for any of my essays at school or at home. I'm having to spend hours in the library looking for things that take ten minutes to find online if we had fast internet. I don't think it's fair that just because I live in a village I don't get the same opportunities as someone living in the middle of London. Should those responsible for the wires and fibre optic cables be forced to provide fast connections to all parts of the UK?


The Central Bank of Nigeria CBN has approved the release of 50,000 metric tons of maize to a Bassenger Farms and 11 other major feed producers. The maize was released from Strategic Maize Reserve under the Angkor Borahs Programme ABP. Spokesman of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Osita Wanisobi said the release of maize is to the companies to intend to check the activities of middlemen which causes hoarding and artificial scarcity. Wanisobi said the release would crash the price of maize, reduce pressure on the market and make the products directly available to feed producers, thereby reducing the price of portrait feed in the country.


Chef Shea Burr here with another episode of Walk Wednesday. We're going to be making the pain style beef meatballs made with beef. No kidding. It says made with beef. I'm sure it wouldn't be beef meatballs made with goat. Okay so you got some onions and stuff here. We're going to have noodles with this. Should be pretty good. So let's go ahead and start with the onions. I've already got them diced up, cubed up little cubes, and we'll get them in here and get them to start sauteing the onions. Onions, onions. Let's stick around guys. Okay guys put a little bit of olive oil in there. We're gonna put these in. Sorry about the lighting, but the lights up above here on my fan, they quit working. And nobody on the internet knows what's wrong with them. They tell me how to change the bulb and that's pretty much it. I know how to change the bulbs, but it's not a bulb, so I'm not sure what's going on there. Anyway let's boil you. Boil you? Boil you on cubes in there? I got some water boiling out here for the noodles. Now I'm going to put the noodles in. I'm going to let them boil up and then I'll put them in some cold water so they'll quit cooking. Okay so now once once I get these kind of browned up kind of caramelized is what it's called. We're just using these wide noodles. Wide low-main noodles. All right now I'm gonna get these to caramelize up, get that boil you on cubed melted in there real good. I also have some orange and red bell pepper here. I don't have any hot peppers so I will use a little bit of hot sauce but I can't go too too major. So I do have some do have some of this stuff from Larry the Cable Guy. All right you know what let's pour a little bit of this in. Why not right? Now we're going to add some of the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce. What it is. Get a little bit of flavor here. All right now you guys can take a break but I got to still keep cooking so I'm gonna go ahead and get these things.  I'll show you that when we get to that. All right let me get these caramelized up. Okay guys now these are pretty well caramelized I'm gonna take them out. This is just white onion. It's not a Vidalia or anything like that. It's just a white onion. I'm large but depending on how much you're making it's up to you. You don't even have to add it. I'm gonna set this over there. Give a little bit more stuff here. Turn the heat back up. I turned it down so that the pan didn't get too hot. That's pretty good. Now we're gonna put in our Italian beef meatballs made with beef. You can make these frozen these. I thought them out pretty much while I was doing other things. So I'll dump these in. Just keep in mind if they are frozen these are still somewhat frozen but if they are you may have to cook them a little longer. It's alright though. All right now when these get cooked I'll bring you back and we'll put the noodles in here and get them cooked up. Well I forgot to hit record but anyway let's get monkey out here and give this a shot. Okay so I had to wake her up so give her a shot. I'm gonna flip the meatball on the floor. Almost. That's quite a better video if you flipped it on the floor. There you go. Trying to get you under the light. Monkey broke them. Did not. Did you turn them on they wouldn't work? Yeah they went haywire. She broke them. Trying to get the noodles together guys. All right this is good as it gets. Here we go. That's good. Very good. Okay easy easy easy. Just yeah you can make your own meatballs if you want. I just didn't feel like because usually I'll make the stuff and she makes them for me when I make my meatballs. I was like yeah it's just too much of a tourist. Just grab a bag of those frozen ones and there we go and you saw what I added so. That's very good.  Yep. Monkey mama monkey's ready to eat. So shea bearer the myth man legend. Monkey suit yourself. Bye y'all. Thanks for watching this episode of Walk Wednesday. We'll see you guys the next one. Bye. Bye.  Yeah. Okay. I'll get your moms. You might as well go ahead and have that one.


Hey guys, welcome to the 30 paintings in 30 days project. If you choose to join me on the 30 paintings in 30 days journey, I hope that you do share and tag me and post like on social media and stuff, maybe film some videos, tag me in the description, something like that. I am kind of excited about the project. I do do daily drawing. I don't necessarily do daily painting, but making a daily practice out of something like this encourages you to get better at it encourages you to work it into your daily routine or weekly routine. It also is a way to use up supplies. So if that's your goal, maybe you don't want to do 30 paintings in 30 days, but you want to do 30 collages in 30 days. That works too. So let me know. Let's get to painting and I'll see you then. Okay, painting number 27 of our 30 and 30 little painting studies that we're doing for July 2020. Are you ready? All right. I've got an inspiration photo over that way of some flowers that I saw probably in one of my evening walks.  I don't know if that's what it's actually called, but the flowers look like this. I'm not really great at leaving white space, but these are supposed to be little studies anyway. I have a lot of whites and pale yellows in this schminky palette. And you know what? We're going to try it. Now for this one, we're going to do something different. We're going to start with number four round. That's not normally my modus operandi, but you guys already know that already. I'm going to go in with Naples Yellow, which is a very pale beige yellow color. I don't know if you all can see that. It's a very pale beige yellow.  This is going to be extra challenging because I'm working with paper. I just like, I don't know how this is going to come out. It might look like poop, but we'll find out. If anybody's used one of these journals before with this kind of paper that just sucks up the paint so quick and buckles so badly and you have tips for watercoloring on it, let me know. It does sketch on pretty well, although the pens bleed through it also, but it just doesn't paint on very well. It's not a great paper to paint on in my opinion. And if you're the manufacturer of this paint and you're watching, I'm sorry. There's another color next to it. It's called Juan Brilliant. I'm sure I mispronounced that. It's J, A, U, and E. It's almost the same color. I'm going to add a little bit of green to this. I don't want to add green. I think I want to add a little bit of yellow. So I'm going to use a transparent yellow. That's in here. More of one of these beigey nude colors. I think this is going to look like poop, you guys. Just FYI, I think it's going to be ugly. I'm outlining sort of where I want this like snowball-y shape to go. I don't, again, I'm losing confidence. Now, here's a fun fact about me when I paint. Almost every single time I paint, there is a point in time during the process when I think that is really ugly. So if you are like that and you think I'm a terrible artist because I always think my work is ugly and I can't do a good job, you are not alone. I know so many other artists and creatives that feel the same exact way. So just know that it's not just you. I see the kids playing in the background. I'm glad they're having a good time. I do wish they'd be quiet while I'm filming, but that's okay. Right now there is no great time to film when kids are being quiet because hello, staying at home and not in school. If you don't know why that is Google 2020, if you're watching this in the future and you will figure it out. So I am just starting with the shadows rather than the highlights, starting with the darker parts rather than the lighter parts, which is the opposite of how I'm used to painting with watercolor. So that's another problem. But this is just a good experiment. I'm going to grab that dark olive-y green that's in here that we've been using on the paintings. So we've been making it in some places. Not too many before I come back with water because hello, this paper absorbs really quick. And then I'm going to go with a little bit darker green. This is actually cobalt green dark. I guess it's a lot darker. These bushes are so pretty. There's no way I'm going to be able to do it justice. When they're in full bloom, they literally look like a stem of leaves with giant snowball stuck to the top. They're so pretty. Okay, now we're going to go in with titanium white and I'm going to switch to my flat brush. It's wet because it's not very wet. I'm just touching it to the paper and then twirling it. Now titanium white is less opaque than the Chinese white, so you'll still be able to see hints of those base colors through the paint. Okay, this is a super great example of me saying, you know, I always start paintings. I always think they're ugly. It's actually turning out not to be that bad. Yeah, I kind of like where it is now during the process. So that was kind of bad. So we're going to... This would be a great sort of watercolor texture or background. Now if you dip your brush once and then you do like three petals, each one's going to be a little bit lighter than the first. So you'll get a variety of tone. Hey, actually, now I'm not... You know what? I'm not too mad at that. No idea. I could keep going with these little petal-y shapes because that's fun. How fun would that be to do on black paper? All right, there you go. Painting number 27. Give it a try. Try something new. It might turn out to be poop, but you never know. You might like it. On to the next. How is that for today's painting? I hope you enjoyed the process. And if you want instruction on the painting, you need to be over on Patreon. They are going to get the talking version here on YouTube. You're just going to get the speed food through version. Sorry. If you'd like to support the free content here on Facebook or in the... Here on Facebook, holy cow. If you'd like to support the free content here on YouTube or over in the Facebook art groups, I certainly would appreciate that. You can of course join Patreon. We do have YouTube membership here for a small fee. And also I have an Etsy shop and I have PayPal tip jar and all that stuff. So check out the video description. Relevant links will also be down there. And yeah, don't forget the most important things.  Do share your work with me. I would love to see what you're doing. That's it for now. See you later. Bye guys.


Income tax 2022-2023, Archer MSA deduction. Let's do some wealth preservation with some tax preparation. Most of this information comes from instructions for form 8853, Archer MSA, a long-term care insurance contracts, which you can find at the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. Looking at our income tax formula, we're focused on line number two, adjustments to income. Remembering that the first half of the income tax formula is in essence an income statement, although a strange one, where we have income minus the equivalent of the expenses, those being the deductions getting down to the bottom line, the equivalent of net income. But here, taxable income, everything's upside down. It's all worthy derby, topsy-turvy, where we want the taxable income to be as low as possible, as opposed to normally, when we want the net income to be as high as possible. Remember that the adjustment to income can be thought of as a deduction or as a contra-income account, because it's decreasing the income line to get down to the subtotal of adjusted gross income, an important subtotal, because that's the one generally used to phase out things as income levels go up like deductions and credits. Also note that this line might be called above the line deductions, schedule one deductions. They also are not limited, or you don't have to clear, in other words, the hurdle of the standard deduction before you can take these above the line adjustments to income. All right, so we're focused on line number 10, adjustments to income from schedule one, when we look at schedule one. Part two, we're down here on the Archer. Swirling Archer. MSA, support accounting instruction by clicking the link below, giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website, broken out by category, further broken out by course. Each course then organized in a logical, reasonable fashion, making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources, such as Excel practice problems, PDF files, and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again, click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. The deduction. Now this is generally kind of an older type of thing, so it still possibly could come up, but usually you're gonna have questions about the health savings account, which is up top. We talked a little bit about in prior presentations, but it's good to get kind of some context and the history on this as these kind of, these health type of things that they weave in and out of the tax code come into play because you're gonna see similar strategies as they're kind of trying to tweak these, these strategies with regards to the tax codes. So caution, after December 31st, 2007, contributions can't be made to an Archer medical savings account for you unless you were an active Archer MSA participant for any tax year ending before January 1st, 2008, or you became an active Archer MSA participant for a tax year ending after December 31st, 2007 because of coverage under a high deductible health plan, an HDHP of an Archer MSA participating employer. Now the high deductible health plans is another kind of key term that means that you gotta kind of understand when you're trying to figure out all the benefits related to health insurance and a high deductible means that you generally have to pay a higher deductible than when you get something, when a problem happens but it also means that the premiums are usually lower. So those are gonna be the cheaper type of plans which often sometimes are linked to some of the credits and whatnot because the idea would be that those would be the people that are buying those plans are the people that should most likely have access to credits and so it's all kind of tied together. So use form 8853 to report Archer MSA contributions including employer contributions, figure your Archer MSA deduction, report distributions from Archer MSA or Medicare Advantage MSAs, report taxable payments from long-term care LTC insurance contracts or report taxable accelerated death benefits from a life insurance policy. That's when we're gonna be using this form 8853. We're focused on the Archer here. Additional information, you can see publication 969, health savings accounts. That's the other big one that's gonna come up more often, oftentimes these days than the Archer and other tax favored health plans for more details on MSAs. So who must file? You must file form 8853 if any of the following applies. You or your employer made contributions for 2022 to your Archer MSA. You are filing a joint return and your spouse or their employer made contributions for 2022 to your spouse's Archer MSA. You or your spouse filing jointly required an interest in an Archer MSA or a Medicare Advantage MSA because of the death of the account holder, the death of account holder later. You or your spouse if filing jointly were like policy holder who received payments under LTC insurance contract or received any accelerated death benefits from a life insurance policy on or per diem or other periodic basis in 2022 to see instructions for section C later. And we won't go into all of this here but we're just gonna touch on it. You or your spouse if filing jointly received Archer MSA or Medicare Advantage MSA distributions in 2022. You could take a look at the instructions yourself for if any of these things apply you can dive into it in more detail.  You or your spouse must be covered under an HDHP that's the high deductible health plan and have a new other health coverage except permitted coverage. So this is the often kind of the issues with these health plans cause remember when they're trying to adjust the laws for the health insurance the health insurance traditionally kind of went through the employers was kind of tied to the employers. So then you can ask situations well what if my employer doesn't provide health insurance or I work at a small business or I'm self-employed then you have a situation where you might not have the as beneficial of a plans and you possibly could have the high deductible health care plans which are typically gonna be the lower cost type of plans which is why you would think the lower income individuals would be purchasing the high deductible health plans although you might just also buy those cause you're when you're healthy you might be content with a high deductible plan as opposed to one that's gonna be there every time you take medical action because you're not doing a lot of medical action when you're younger versus when you're older or something like that but in any case those are the ones that are gonna be tied to some of the some of the benefit programs and the policies as we can see here. So you can see how just in general some of these concepts get kind of tied together health insurance used to go through the employer but now what if you're self-employed well then how are we gonna determine who should get a benefit from the plan well we can try to figure out a plan and categorize the plan into types of plans like the high deductible health plan which is usually the one that again is tied to some of these kind of benefit programs here such as we see here and possibly we'll see later when we get into like the health insurance marketplace has a similar kind of conceptual framework. Okay so you must be enrolled in Medicare and can't be another person's dependent you must be an eligible individual on the first day of a month to take an Archer MSA deduction for that month. So small employer, a small employer is generally an employer who had an average of 50 or fewer employees today is during either of the last two calendar quarters. So it gets messy when you start to kind of categorize companies as large or small or businesses as large or small because then you have to have this arbitrary line that's gonna be cut off and so now they're just picked 50 employees right so does it make you large when you hire that 50th or 50th employee it's kind of an arbitrary line but that's the kind of thing that happens again when we try to put these rules in place. So Archer MSA generally an Archer MSA as a medical savings account set up exclusively for paying qualified medical expenses of the account holder, qualified medical expenses. What are those? Generally qualified medical expenses for Archer MSA purposes are unreimbursed medical expenses that could otherwise be deducted on schedule A form 1040. So note this also gets messy because when you think about what qualifies as medical expenses which we will see when we get to the schedule A because sometimes you can deduct medical expenses on schedule A which are the itemized deductions although they're severely limited because of AGI you have to clear a hurdle of the AGI hurdle and so on but you can imagine people getting quite creative on what a medical expense is. My doctor said I can buy a jacuzzi or something like a whirlpool. It's not a jacuzzi, it's a health whirlpool or something you know and so you can imagine a lot of gray area with medical expense. My doctor said I needed to trip to Hawaii or something right and there's a bunch of cases law cases about these kind of arguments that you can dive into when more weird stuff happens when people are trying to categorize medical expenses. So see the instructions for schedule A form 1040 and publication 502, medical and dental expenses, qualified medical expenses are those incurred by the account holder or the account holder's spouse or dependents amounts paid for menstrual care products shall be treated as paid for medical care. See the instructions for line seven later you can't treat insurance premiums or qualified medical expenses unless the premiums are for LTC insurance, long-term care, healthcare continuation coverage or healthcare coverage while receiving unemployment compensation under federal or state law, high deductible health plan. So an HDHP so this is the key term and you'll hear it whenever you're looking into these health plans especially with regards to benefits with regards to health plans. For example, when you're looking at the health insurance marketplace and that kind of thing. So an HDHP high deductible health plan is a health plan that meets the following requirements. So minimum annual deductible if it's self coverage, 2004 50 family coverage, 4,950 maximum annual deductible, 3,700 for self only, for 7,400 for family and then maximum annual out of pocket expenses other than for premiums, 4,950 for the self only family coverage, 9,050. So other health coverage. If you have an Archer MSAU and your spouse if you have family coverage can't have any health coverage other than an HDHP because then if you had other coverage you would expect that you would use the other coverage generally. And so that means why would you have other coverage possibly because you have a job or your spouse has a job that has the ability to get coverage through their employer. So however, your spouse can have health coverage other than an HDHP if you aren't covered by that plan. So meaning when a spouse has coverage as an employee oftentimes they can cover the entire family possibly under the family plan but maybe they in a situation they don't they're only personally covered in which case you might still be able to get the HPHD. So exceptions, you can have additional insurance that provides benefits only for liabilities under the workers' compensation law tort liabilities or liabilities arising from the ownership or use of property, a specific disease or illness or a fixed amount per day or other period of hospitalization. You can also have coverage either through insurance or otherwise for accidents, disability, dental care, vision care or long-term care. So see other health coverage in publication 969. So obviously when we're thinking about health coverage they kind of differentiate the terms of what is health coverage versus other things which you might think is kind of similar coverage meaning you have dental coverage is kind of its own special area of vision is its own special area which they kind of think of as separate from your standard medical coverage, right? Disability possibly and then when you have car insurance coverage and that kind of thing that could have a medical component to it but it's not really tied to your medical coverage typically and long-term care is still you think medical coverage but it's got its own kind of thing for its own purpose and it's like its own category. So in any case, see other health coverage in publication 969, health savings account and other tax-favored health plans for additional information about exceptions. So figuring your Archer MSA deduction the amount you can deduct for Archer MSA contribution is limited by the applicable portion of the HDHPs that's the high deductible health plan annual deductible line three and the compensation compensation from the employer maintaining the HDHP line four. So any employer or contributions made to your Archer MSA prevent you from making deductible contributions. Your employer contributions to an Archer MSA will be later. So also if you or your spouse made contributions in addition to any employer contributions you may have to pay an additional tax. See excess contributions you made later. So you gotta be careful to be in the regulations on your contributions. So you can't deduct any contributions you made after you became enrolled in Medicare. So Medicare once you're eligible for Medicare because you've reached the age to be eligible for Medicare then that's kind of like the health coverage, right? So oftentimes if before that time so now we've got a system where you kind of have like government healthcare or insurance for the most part Medicare after you're qualified you've reached the age to qualify for Medicare which means that you wouldn't really have the high deductible plan at that point which means that which is what you need to have in order to get access to the archers and all that kind of stuff. So that's where the Medicare kind of comes into play here. Also you can't deduct contributions if you are someone else's dependent. Employer contributions to an Archer MSA if an employer made contributions to your Archer MSA you aren't entitled to a deductible. If you and your spouse are covered under an HD HP high deductible health plan with family coverage and an employer made contributions to either of your Archer MSAs neither you nor your spouse is allowed to make deductible contributions to an Archer MSA because the employer's making the contributions. So and okay, so if you and your spouse both have an HD HP with self only coverage and only one of you received employer contributions to an Archer MSA the other spouse is allowed to make deductible contributions to an Archer MSA. So that's a general outline for more information you can take a look at the instructions for form 8853 Archer MSA and long-term care insurance contracts which you can find at the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov.


Hello and welcome to this video session on peak 16F877A Instruction Set, Bit Oriented Instructions. Myself Mr. Vipul Kondekar. In this video session at the end of the session student will be able to describe the bit oriented operations done by the peak microcontroller and will be able to explain the operation of 4 different bit oriented instructions available for the peak microcontroller. So these are the learning outcomes. In this presentation we will go for understanding bit oriented file register operations and then 4 different instructions which are dealing with the bit related operations with reference to their syntax, operands used for the instruction, what operation is carried out by that instruction, then the flags affected because of execution of that instruction, then description and one example for each. Now why we need bit oriented instructions? Basically when you are talking about microprocessor is different than microcontroller. Very important feature of microcontroller you say most of the instructions of the microcontroller can deal with the bits of the operand. Now talking about why we need bit oriented instruction, suppose LEDs are connected to port pin and I want to 8 LEDs are connected to 8 port pins of let us say port A. I want to turn on a particular LED. So if you want to turn on a particular LED one approach may be use byte oriented instruction and change byte accordingly. But instead of that if you go for a bit oriented instruction you can change a particular bit of a particular byte location and that will not affect other bit locations also. So we need bit oriented instructions to deal with the port pins of the microcontroller either you want to make it high low. So based on that we need bit oriented instructions. Now this is the format whenever you are having bit oriented instruction that up code of bit oriented instruction is going to be of 14 bits. But out of those 14 bits actual bit number 10 to bit number 13 these will be forming the up code they will decide which exactly is the bit oriented instruction. Then you want to deal with the bit. So which file register you want to use for bit oriented operation and which bit means file register is having size 8 bit. But which bit of that particular file register you want to deal with that will be decided by 3 bit bit address. So if you look at this B, B will be a 3 bit bit address of a byte which is part of file register and which file register though that file register will be that will be representing a particular file register 7 bit file register address will be there of a particular bank. Now talking about how much bit addressable area we got for peak microcontroller 16877 a microcontroller in 8051 microcontroller we say that we got 16 bytes of bit addressable area. Now let us try to understand the instructions. So let us start with the instruction BSF. This instruction is used for setting a particular bit of file register F. Now talking about the syntax every instruction may have some label this is optional field but BSF then you have to mention the file register which you want to deal and which bit of that particular file register. So definitely when you want to mention this F and B these are the two operands for this particular instruction. So F can take values from 0 to 127. So any file of selected bank will be a file register you can use for this particular instruction and which bit that file register will be of 8 bits. So which bit of that particular file register that will be decided by this B bit. Now what operation is carried out because of this instruction is this will set a particular bit B of file F. So this is the encoding this is how the opcode is created. So you change the file register based on opcode will be different. You change the bit location based on that opcode will be different. Now what operation is carried out because of this instruction bit B of file register F is set. So this is a single word single cycle instruction. No flag bits are affected because of execution of this particular instruction. Now talking about one example BSF. So what I am trying to do here flag register is the file register and bit number seven of that flag register I want to set. So before execution let us assume the contents of flag register are 0A. So this is representing 0A content and bit number seven if you look at bit number seven that bit number seven is clear here. But after execution of this particular instruction what you find is this bit number seven is set because of execution of this instruction. So only one bit gets changed hence the contents 0A will get changed to 8A after execution of this instruction. Now similarly we can have another instruction where after execution of this instruction it is going to clear a particular bit of a file register. Now BCF F comma B is the syntax the range of F and B is same. Then what is going to do it is going to clear the bit. So 0 is going to load it in the bit. Now no flags are affected again because of execution of this instruction this how encoding is done. Again it is a single word single cycle instruction. Now looking at the example you will find that BCF flag register seven. Now again assume that flag register seven this is the file register you are dealing with its most significant bit bit number seven is set before execution. Now if you execute this instruction BCF it is going to clear this particular bit. So after execution of this instruction what you find this bit is clear. So this is how this BCF instruction works. Now talking about next instruction bit test file and skip if clear. Now this is one bit oriented instruction which is going to test a particular bit of a particular file register which is specified in the instruction. So bit test skip if clear. Operants again file register taking range from 0 to 127 of a selected bank means you are selecting a particular bank any file register of that selected bank you can it can be F. Now B can be any bit of that particular file register what you are going to do operation is what skip. So what you are going to skip here you are going to skip execution of the next instruction which is written immediately after this. So skip if particular bit of file register F is equal to 0 next is instructions execution is going to be skipped. Now again no flags are affected this is how encoding is done and this is the description if B bit of register F is clear then the next instruction execution is skipped and if it is clear what exactly happens the next instruction which is already fetched during the current instruction execution that instruction is discarded instead of that a knob is executed. Now this will make this instruction two cycle instruction means if the condition is true if the bit is clear means condition is true in that case this will be a two cycle instruction if condition is false it will be a single cycle instruction itself and sequential execution will be carried out in that case automatically next instruction will get executed. Now talking about the example here you find that bit test file skip if clear flag you are testing which file register flag file register which bit bit number four. Now if it is clear then what you are going to do you are you are going to skip this particular execution next instructions execution is going to be skipped. Now look at this case number one where you find that before execution the contents of PC are addressed here means this is the next instruction the instruction whose label is here this is going to execute now flag bit is again zero which flag bit you are testing is bit number four is zero after execution of the instruction see what happens you are going to skip if the bit is clear so hence instead of executing the instruction whose label is false what will be PC contents contents of PC will be address of true means this next instruction will be skipped and after that whatever the new instruction is written that instruction gets executed. Now second case is before execution itself if the flag bit that bit number four of flag is one then what is going to happen in that case if that bit is one you want to skip the instruction when that bit is clear and bit is one so sequential execution so PC will be what address of false similar kind of instruction is available bit test file skip if set now when that particular bit of a particular file register is set for example again this encoding and this operation is quite similar only thing is you are going to skip the execution only if the bit is set so here take the example PC is pointing to address here means next instruction will be the execution of this particular instruction it is bit test file skip if set before execution if you are finding that the bit is zero itself so is it set no so if it is not set then you are not going to skip the execution of the next instruction so what instruction gets executed will be the immediate next instruction itself but if the bit number four is set if that particular bit is set then what happens what happens is you are going to be going to skip the execution of this instruction and which instruction is getting executed will be the instruction whose label is true so this is how the bit oriented instruction which is testing the particular bit of a particular file register works based on the condition if it is set or clear you are going to skip the execution of the next instruction these are the references used for this presentation thank you


Chad Johnson, Night Train Lane, L Roy, Max Crosby, Eric Dickerson. What else do we got, boys? I think that's it. How's Ocho play? First drive of the game, they want to know how he plays already. I'm pretty sure he's going to be 9-9 speed, and he's going to be fast. I don't know yet, though. He's always lurking. Why don't you stay tuned to the game, and you check it out how he plays. I don't know. We're about to play right now. Chad Johnson scored a touchdown. Who knows? The debut of Chad Johnson, Night Train Lane, L Roy, Max Crosby, Eric Dickerson. What else do we got, boys? I think that's it. Gun empty hawk early here, boys. Come on, L Roy. You're on the left with the sleeves. Oh, L Roy got the sauce. Hold up. L Roy, that's a three-man rush, man. Let's go, L Roy. Everybody on a streak. Oh my, uh-oh. Five streaks. He might know something. He might know something. Five streaks. OK, I see L Roy in there. I see L Roy and Max and Jack Young. Oh, this is a big white d-line. I can't lie, boys. My d-line is super white right now. We got Jack Youngblood. We got Jack Youngblood down there. We got Eloy Hershey, the Condor. Oh, he's going goal line against the big boys. Let's go.  My white guys, let's see what he got for me. Come on, Bobby Wagner. Oh, he's passing. Not the best pass for my man, but you know, he gave his running back a hop.  Always going to go for this. He tried it. He tried it, didn't he? How's Ocho play? First drive of the game. They want to know how he plays already. I'm pretty sure he's going to be 9-9 speed, and he's going to be fast. I don't know yet, though. Oh, he's always lurking. Why don't you stay tuned to the game and you check it out how he plays? OK, my quarterback running back combo looks really beefy right here, boys. All right, there's no way I spent that much money on you. You get hit stick the first play by Trayvon Diggs. Yo, Dickerson can truck people, right? He's like an all-per-he-can-truck. He can run people like, well, good tackle.  Who is that demon? Vince Wolfork? All right.  I know why I have McCaffrey. I know why I have him, dude. God, give your playmakers a chance. Cool! I mean, we have to get the ball to Dickerson here, right? See what he got, right? Exactly.  I'm running power out. You guys know I like to jump right here, but we're going power for power. Eric Dickerson, what do you got, kid? I'm actually going weak side. We like weak side. It's rough. It's rough, really, when you think about it. It's really rough. He's going back to his five wide, bro. Hirsch? Hirsch? I don't know if that was Deon or Night Train. Five wide is really just goaded, dude. It really is just goaded, five wide. Well, never seen somebody put a corner out on that play. That was kind of, that was a dot.  Always going for two. All this dude's different. Hold up. Everybody knows this play.  I hate Madden, bro. Chad Johnson somehow is on kickoff. He got head-sticked. Chad Johnson.  Come on, pits. The lawyer this guy might be goaded. Let's look at a lot of people in the box here, bro. OK, Dickerson redemption? Redemption? Dickerson wants to keep his spot. We'll see, vision. We'll see. We'll see how he does. Just don't run that five wide. I don't got to answer for that, bro. Thank you. Move, you just did it.  Let's go, Hirsh. OK, OK. That's a little too close right there. It's definitely a little too close right there, boys. Chad. Oh my god, I was looking downfield.  How'd that guy disengage that fast?  Chad, I'm giving you a shot. I can't lie. These Ultimate Legends are laying eggs right now, dude. What was that, Jefferson? I mean, god. Nitrene? All right, man. I wasted $100 today. I'll tell you that. I might as well have Shaquille Griffin out there. Dude started dying me now out of my form. Can't lie. These Ultimate Legends are looking really, really, really weak, boys. Luckily, I mean. Ooh, Taylor. Taylor, can we crib this Sherman? Can you block the right person for me? Sherman, what are you doing, man? We got these Ultimate Legends, bro. I'm going to be real. We do it all. Weze. I mean, Hirsch, are you rushing to pass or what, man? I would have played by Big Ben.  Oh, yeah. Yeah. All these Ultimate Legend debuts. And who is this still doing the work? Simmons? Forpass?  Like, what the? I mean, I've been getting the worst laterals ever right now. We're sending these boys. We'll be in pick six, Sherman. Well, how do you have time to do that, man?  I see them all drawing forever. I mean, this dude is just getting rid of the ball, bro. Be honest. I feel like we're not covering anybody, dude. Like, what's going on right here, boys? I'm going to be honest, we've been blitzing everybody. And we got them. Nice job. Nice pick, boys. I put the whole hood on my back and bra shoulders. Flat zones inside the tent are just amazing, aren't they, boys? Got a deep zone. And I manned up Justin Jefferson. I don't have a flat zone. Hey, let's go, man. Nice. Nice. GGs. I can't lie.   Was that the condor?  Who doesn't press? Eric Dickerson is going to drop this pass right here. It's going to be a free 15 yards. But if Eric Dickerson drops it, he's definitely done. Got to do it. Got to do it, right? Got to do it to him. Got to do it to him. Oh! Good defense. There you go, ED. Yeah, I don't know how we don't have alternate jerseys, dude. And honestly, I mean, most of the ER jerseys are trash, but if they put a lot of them in a game, like they do. Bro, like, we talk about every time we play Apex or Fortnite to skins, bro. They should have more jerseys and matter that you could buy. Nah, I don't know. Did Dick kill play a lot for the Eagles?  Nobody. Dick is like a guy that you wouldn't even know he played for the Eagles.   Like, we would buy it. Like, all right, night train. I mean, we'll see how I don't air escape. Oh my god, man. All right, Marcus Allen already looked better than my man, Dickerson. Pick, pick, pick, pick, pick, pick somebody. Oh! Pick! Come on, Sherm. Coverage here, coverage here, coverage here. He might flip now. He might flip, he might flip, he might flip, he might flip, he might flip, he might flip, he might flip, he might flip. First cross I'm going to. He's just, maybe Cam is in it. Maybe I put him in too early. Gotta get him nine out of speed, boys.  Ah! Run again. Thank you. Where'd he go? If he wanted to pick that off, I'd have been disappointed. Come on, get out of there.  Oh, come on, man! All right, we're going to try to escape Artis Glitch. Looks like it's a white guy. We're going to be trying to get by here, too, boys. I mean, well, he's open. We're going to try it again, same play. We're going to just try to let this white guy come free. I don't know who he is with the sleeves out here. We're going to let him come free. We're going to run around them. Want to make a play. Just like that. Yep, there it is. When I get better at that, dude, when I get better at cheese in the computer like that, boys, my game is going to go up. I don't know what he's putting his safeties in. Like, yo, like, I think he's putting his safeties in quarters, but he doesn't have zone drops on. So they're like fake matching. If you're out there, RTAB, if you put your safeties in inside quarters and you don't have zone drops on, they will match coverage.   My man said I want to crush skulls, bro. That's respectable. That's a good pick right there. See this guy, he watches me and Skimbo and things like, bunch is easy. It's not, bunch is not easy, boys. Trips tight end easy. Bunch, not easy. Good dot. Oh my God, that dude just bounced off him.  What a bounce. I'm not going to blame them on my lack of defense right now, but tell them, A's, nice. Oh, what a dot by this gamer. I'm going to be honest, boys. I'm disappointed in these pass rushers, boys. Maybe I got to slide away from him so he comes a little bit more free pause.  Oh, no condor. Say it ain't so condor. Say it ain't so condor. Open, come on, can't put your hands out. Now you know something. How is this game close, dude? What did I do wrong, dude? Can I just not catch an interception? Come on, Cooper. Oh, that's not bad. Josh. I mean, that's literally like the best route in the history of the game, dude. I don't want you to be like that, bro. I'm like, good play, Taylor Mays.  Well, Taylor Mays is cracked. Bro, this dude, Emile, whatever his name is, what y'all call him? Elroy, bro, he got to do something for me, dude. He's going for all inside here. I don't know how this game is this close, dude. Has this game looked close? Like, when you look at the competitors on the game, like, is this like, should this be a three point game? I guess I just haven't played defense. I don't know. Skulls, cracking skulls. I mean, I have everybody open. I just don't even want to throw to nobody. We're going for a touchdown right here. We're going to throw to Chad Johnson here. He has a 30 yard cloud. We're going to try to fit this in here, back of the end zone. That's not what he had that play. Who got shetted like this, dude? Like, what? Same thing, we're going to run it back, though.  Guy has hope here, fourth and 14. I mean, I feel like, I'm really trolling right now. Like, what's going on? Can I make this feel good? Absolutely not. I really have to punt the foot with sky kick, so it like, waits for more time. Didn't get a lot of lift on it there, but you know. We wasted seven seconds, so you know. I'm really not going to change how I play defense. I assume many times I get in this situation and I like change how I want to play defense.  That's how we stop rollout right here. Hersh has not done nothing, literally nothing. There it is. GGs, Hersh is crazy. Oh, man. No, she whistin' we was still close. Don't cry, it is the beat. In turn, it'll take away your misery and make it mine, the evils. Dude, that's what I got. If I didn't run out of stamina, I could really score every, I could score every kick return, every pick return. That's what I got. GGs, though.
