I'm an everyday woman, woman, woman In every way, yeah, yeah I'm living my life, life, life Living day by day Welcome to Every Way Woman There are some major changes happening in the talk show world Live from Los Angeles, here's Every Way Woman Apologize too much Welcome to Every Way Woman So at what point is saying I'm sorry past being polite? I've noticed that women are apologizing for everything Is it too much, Amber? I think it's too much I had a friend that apologized every second of the day I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something on your foot I'm sorry And I just got tired of it and I told her one time I said stop saying sorry And she was like, you know, appalled by the fact that I told her to stop saying sorry Well, I think even apologies, the I'm sorry has lost the actual meaning of being sincere and being sorry because we hear it so many times I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I think it's not real I have to say I'm sorry because of my clients when I do hair and makeup If I do something and they don't like it I'm sorry, let me change it What? In a relationship I'm sorry What if you do that makeup and you know it look good Are you going to say like, I'm sorry What is that cut off, that limit part of saying I'm sorry Let me go ahead and change it I'm like, I'm sorry I'm an instructor and I did have a student approach me and say, you know, for someone who teaches us to be confident and to believe in ourselves and put ourselves out there I noticed that you say you're sorry a lot What did she called you out? Yeah, and it took me back and I had to think about it, I was like, whoa And then when I was hearing myself and then I was self-conscious about it every time I said it And so I think, yeah, definitely I was saying it too much without really being conscious Cheryl See, I don't actually volunteer that many of them unless it's something that is truly sincere Right I have no problem admitting when I've done something wrong and I will definitely apologize for that But in terms of just peppering speech with them Absolutely not Do you think that comes from your expertise as a human relations professional? You know what, maybe, maybe it does I mean, I can think of a perfect example There was a person at my church who asked me if I would be willing to volunteer to sit on a particular committee I told her I would get back to her because I wasn't going to just, you know commit to it right away and ultimately she came back to me and for that I did apologize because the answer was no So that's No, and I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm not going to be able to participate I have a couple of stories that may work together because I took my niece out for a play date and I had left because it was for kids and when I came back one of the teachers came up to me and said your daughter, my niece but she said your daughter won't apologize to this child and she has to leave and I said okay well let me tell her that she needs to apologize you need to say you're sorry and she said no and I said why not you have to say you're sorry and she said why I'm not sorry Why should I have to say I'm sorry and I didn't really fully get the full story of what happened but I noticed years later I ran into the same situation with my daughter and I thought maybe it was just that child but it was also my own child and she came to me no, I don't want to say I'm sorry and I said honey you have to say you're sorry and I was teaching her that she needed to say she was sorry even though she was not sincere about it Right, so should we do that to children even as ourselves to force somebody to say sorry to us if they don't necessarily mean it I would do that to get out of situations I mean I'll admit it I will give an apology even if I'm not truly sincere about it and in a way I know I'm just servicing myself The person feels that though The person feels that You're not sincere about that No, I'm good actor I'm just kidding I'm just kidding All my sorries are being sincere to you I'll be okay I'll be clarified But you know what that actually brings up a good question because how do you because obviously we need to teach our kids, our daughters our little girls but our kids in general we need to teach them how to give us sincere apology but then is it you know youthful stubbornness or is it a custom that we're teaching them it's customary to say I'm sorry I'm gonna make them long and try to abuse them Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Well baby, you know and it does sometimes the more women apologize the more vulnerable or weak sometimes will appear and a wise man once told me he said a woman shouldn't apologize for nothing Who wise man is that? Yeah And if you available But listen to the point in that is you shouldn't apologize for who you are And I think so many people do that they'll apologize for being successful they'll just apologize for their situation and like as a way of sympathizing with somebody but that's not the thing we should be ashamed of Anna, what do you think? I think, like I said in relationships I'm not sorry because it is women and you can't expect them for who I am but at least why do you deserve a chance with me?  I mean what in you she told me to be myself but sometimes I have to admit the real part inside of me you know when I am alone it's like man like why are they like are they intimidated by me or what like do I have to play dumb or something to get a good guy like So it brings out almost like an insecurity in me It does, it does but then I stop for a minute there I'm like screw that I'm not sorry Next time you say you are sorry and you get to don't even mention it you're sorry I mean okay but I'm the subject of apologies is it appropriate to ask or demand an apology from somebody? Yes You know absolutely if someone has treated you in a manner that you know is unacceptable for you then you need to let them know about it and you need to let them know it's like hey we need to start fixing this and here is how I expect you to fix it you know obviously own whatever part of it you need to but absolutely Well then if you know it's okay it's okay not to have friends all the time not everybody has to be your friend and I'm on the same page with you because at some point you don't tell somebody hey you need to apologize to me because you hurt my feelings you may not know why but it happens and but let me explain to you that absolutely so it's got to be followed up with an explanation I don't know you guys do you know we're all thinking let me start right now let me tell you I think we all meditated at that moment I know but you know there's a lot of wisdom in that because I'm you know I'm in a situation now where I'm I have a friend he's a young man and he's I'm somewhat displeased with his behavior and at one point I almost just threw the talent said you know what screwed I'm out and then I said you know what I haven't given him I haven't informed him of what the actual problem is so I need to give him the opportunity to make it right before I just check in the town or have you ever done the classic apology where you don't know what you've done wrong but it must have been something I am so sorry for whatever I did but I'm sorry you're not wrong I'm sorry I'm sorry okay well lesson learned apologize when you need it stay tuned for more Everyway Woman when we come back from this break thanks for watching yeah coming up next more Everyway Woman are you an Everyway Woman as women we take care of everyone else but we often choose to forget to take care of ourselves Dr. Sherry Thomas is here to talk to us about the importance of checkups and taking care of ourselves thank you Dr. Thomas for joining us I'm going to be the first to say I don't take care of myself why should women go to the doctor well if you don't take care of yourself you can't take care of everybody else that is true that is true but again so when I decide to go to the doctor what should I be asking my doctor since I've taken so long to get there well if you haven't been there for a year you need to think about just a yearly exam a yearly checkup so women over 21 need to check their blood pressure their cholesterol have a pap smear and a pelvic exam and then the doctor should go over different screening risks for you your family history do you have a family history of high blood pressure diabetes are you up to date on your immunizations and then ask you about other things such as do you exercise do you eat well and do you smoke now when you ask all those questions that would mean that a woman would need to know her body how can we educate our women on knowing their bodies well think about your body in terms of anything else you've maintained think about what you've heard and what your other girlfriends say and also online you can look at these based on your age of what you should have checked we all know once we hit 20 we should start doing breast exams we all know once we become sexually active we should start having pelvic exams and being screened for sexually transmitted diseases we all know once we hit 50 or we should know we need screening for colon cancer very common cause of death in women so the other day I did an exam for myself and I felt the lump and I still haven't gone to the doctor because I'm making those excuses of not going too busy et cetera when I get to the doctor usually they have me come in and out what are some of the questions that I can ask the doctor to let them know I need your time I need you spend some quality time with me you want to be specific you're making so focus on your breast and not I also have earache and I might have a cold today can you look at that focus on your lump and your breast tell him or her how long it's been there do you have a family history of breast cancer when was your last mammogram and that I do breast exams every month and this is new or you know I just saw a show and I saw on this breast exam and this has been there maybe just a week or two but you know I just sometimes it's so difficult going to the doctor because you don't feel like your physician is an advocate and you feel like they just throw you in there they feel on you and they send you out how will I know if I'm with the right doctor or how do I find a doctor that will be an advocate for me oh that's an even better question then what to focus on for that little appointment physician assistant but find a primary care provider who you feel comfortable talking to that you can tell this person everything you can tell them all these intimate details that you're going to need to tell them things that you might not tell your mother or your sister or your best friend because they need to know that and they need to listen so that they can help you get through whatever it is you're going through so my daughter is going to go to college what do I tell her when she's in another state about looking for a doctor should I be involved in the process or should I just let her handle it well one of the things she'll ask is her friends which is what we do yes you have a doctor you like and so they've been screened there's also ways online we can look at credentials of the doctor and then meet the doctor and see if you like the doctor or the nurse practitioner or whomever has several different healthcare providers but that's so impersonal but you know actually you get some great doctor I have some friends that have worked at different university programs and you get some great doctors too but they have a lot of the nurses their friends will say go see this person they'll get this taken care of and it's actually geared more towards students and not somebody might but I think the message is the most important thing is that she needs to go to the doctor or mother and wait to the last minute right she needs to take care of herself there you go know where it is know what their hours are knowing if they're not there you need to go to the emergency room know where the local emergency room is or find a doctor in town that everybody else calls when they're closed on Saturday or Sunday okay well I have to tell you you've inspired me I am going to go to the doctor I'm going to make an appointment go to the doctor don't be like me go to the doctor stay tuned for more every way woman we will be right back I don't know what I will do I just are you in every way we'll be back with everyday fitness are you in every way woman all right so clear some space in your living room because Lisa is going to show us training in your very own home this is every way woman some of you don't think you can get a good workout at home but it's easier than you think and there are a lot of benefits so Lisa Snow is here to tell us all about them Lisa so what do we need to get a good workout at home well really at home you already have your equipment and so you don't have to get a good workout and then you can do anything you want with it is this something like this expensive or no it's not compared to gym membership or there you constantly paying yeah it's a one time payment and you can use it however you want okay so what do I do with it so this is a bousu and you can use it standing this side of your core and stabilize you put your hands on the floor and you just extend your feet out and bring them in tighten your core as you do it and you can do so many reps you can do until you have a burnout or you can do three sets of ten you might be a little less reps than you think I mean how advanced do I have to be let me figure this thing out it's all to your level so if you first starting out and you put your hands on the floor tighten your core and just make sure you're contracting every time you pull your new thing oh every time that's all you need to do exactly and the cool thing is that when you're at home and say oh I can't really buy a bousu right now I don't know how to do it you can just grab some pillows off your couch and I'm sure you have pillows on your couch and you can still do this and when your feet go out they're not on the ground like they would be if you're flat and you do the same thing contract your core and since you have two pillows on each top of each other it makes you have the same resistance now is this an alternative to this or do I need both things it's an alternative okay yes if you don't feel like buying a bousu right away and you want I know you're doing great that's awesome just as long as you keep contracting the core and you have your stabilization you're all set okay what do I do with the weight dumbbells I love dumbbells because you can work out any part of your body you can do the normal curls I thought you were talking to me you can do the normal curls you can do the shoulders you can even do the legs you can lift anything you want cool thing if you have them you can actually use cans of soup you can use water bottles and even if they're light the more repetitions you have the harder the work out okay so you're going to grab the dumbbells what's a good like standard weight for people to have should I do starting off you can yep bicep curls okay soften your knees a little bit make sure you're not hyper extending and there you go okay okay good time so and if it's light and you say you ask what kind of weight that you start with you can start with five pounds you can start a little heavier if you want but the lighter it is you have to up the reps well that's what I'm thinking I mean you say soup cans I mean how many reps do I have to do like I would be doing it for like 100, 200 reps just a you're at home so turn on some soaps or turn on like oh good take a break put it down but you know what if you don't think you had a good enough workout drop do some pushups pick the soup cans back up keep going so you never still keep that heart right up yep keep the heart right up and you're all good okay what else should I do with these dumbbells so what else you can do is you can it makes your chest stay up and you're going to work on our legs so you can squat down and push back up okay exactly when you're squatting you make sure that your knees don't go past your toes and it's almost like you're trying them cracking oh my gosh I'm old and you can actually if you're just learning how to do this you can use a chair so the goal is to like you're about to sit in a chair you put your bottom back and down and you keep ideally you can get a 90-degree angle with your knees but if you're just starting out again until you feel the pressure and just push right back okay well these are some great tips and you know if you can't make it out to the gym you have no excuses to pull out the soup cans we'll be back with more Every Way Woman thanks so much for coming thank you thanks for getting to know Every Way Woman this has been an Every Way Woman production I'm an everyday woman woman woman in every way yeah yeah I'm living my life life life living day by day you in every way woman


Hello and welcome to this session in which we will discuss the additional first year depreciation also known as bonus depreciation. In the prior session we looked at section 179 and we stated that section 179 is an election that allows businesses to deduct for example for the year 2022 up to 1,080,000. The bonus depreciation it's also another tool that congress utilizes to encourage companies to buy assets and expense them and as you expense them you lower your taxable income. So it's one of the tools for the congress to boost the economy. What does it mean to boost the economy? It means to encourage businesses to buy assets. When you encourage the business to buy assets they buy from manufacturers. Manufacturers will have to hire people. They'll have to pay those people. Those people will spend money in communities. When they spend money in the communities other businesses will benefit. They'll have to hire more people and this is how you boost the economy and bonus depreciation is another tool that helps you do so. In 2022 taxpayers can deduct 100% of the cost recovery for any eligible qualified property put in service. Now what is qualified property? So 100%. Well it encompasses the majority of the appreciable asset executing building that have a recovery period of 20 years or less. Simply put anything on the makers it can get depreciated. Anything subject to makers 20 years or less enough building. Now bonus depreciation applies to both new and pre-owned or used property. So that's the feature of it. It's used and owned as well. So let's look at the details a little bit more. Before we proceed any further I have a public announcement about my company farhatlectures.com. Farhat accounting lectures is a supplemental educational tool that's going to help you with your CPA exam preparation as well as your accounting courses. My CPA material is aligned with your CPA review course such as Becker, Roger, Wiley, Gleam, Miles. My accounting courses are aligned with your accounting courses broken down by chapter and topics. My resources consist of lectures, multiple choice questions, true false questions as well as exercises. Go ahead start your free trial today. So section 179 is an election and guess what first-year bonus depreciation is also an election. Again what is an election? An election means you opt to take this depreciation or you opt not to. Opt means you choose to do it or you don't want to do it. Simply put if you choose to do it if you choose to use the bonus depreciation you can basically deduct everything. However there are steps in which depreciation to take first. The first election you have to take is section 179 election. So that's the first one. So when you are depreciating your asset you'd say the first thing I'm going to do I'm going to see what section 179 I'm going to take. Well if you used up all of your section 179 and you still have asset you move into bonus depreciation. Again that's if you choose to depreciate more. Now you might be saying why wouldn't I choose to depreciate more? Well section 179 could have a limitation.  Bonus depreciation you want to take it now or you may want to use this depreciation amount in future years. Then the third option after you used up section 179 or opt out after you used up bonus depreciation or opt out. Anything left if you want to use makers you can use makers. For most small businesses when they use section 179 bonus depreciation they basically wipe out everything but this is the order. Remember these options give you the deductions now. So for tax planning as a business you want to ask yourself do I want to take them now do I need the deduction this year or I may need the deduction in future years where my tax rate could be higher and where I have more income I need to reduce this income. So this is part of planning properly tax planning. Let's take a look at an example that illustrate this additional first year simple concept but very powerful and very beneficial in the real world. On February 1st Adam purchases a machine that falls under the five-year class asset depreciation costing 1,560,000. Well one thing is it's a maker five-year class it means it's subject to the bonus depreciation. So here's what Adam decided. Adam decided to use his section 179 first assuming no limitation to expense the whole thing as much as possible and anything that's left is subject to the bonus depreciation. So what did we do? Well first thing is we have assets of 1,560,000. So we're going to use the bonus depreciation to wipe out as much as possible in section 179. Again we're assuming here there are no limitation for Adam just for the sake of simplicity because we did use we did illustrate the limitation concept in section 179. What's left is 480,000 to depreciate. What can I do? Well I can take this as bonus depreciation or I can opt out and use this 480 and subject this to makers. It's up to me. Well guess what it seems Adam needs the amount now therefore we're going to depreciate everything. Notice we didn't even get to makers because by the time we get to makers we depreciated all the assets and of course I don't have to mention that the basis of the asset of the machinery is down to zero because if you take the depreciation your basis go down to zero. What should you do now? Go to far hat lectures, look at additional lectures about cost recovery, multiple choice through false that's going to help you and the notes that's going to help you do better whether you are taking an income tax course, the CPA exam, enrolled agent exam. Good luck, study hard and of course stay safe.


And you're very welcome back, and that was Mary Black with her version of Mary Shiffen Carpenters, the Moon and St Christopher. And as promised, joining me on the phone line I've got Dawn Behan, and she is the chair of Bookselling Ireland. Dawn, you're very welcome, and many thanks for taking time out on your Sunday evening to talk to me tonight. Oh no, thanks for inviting me on, lovely to talk to you. So the search is officially underway to find on past Bookshop of the year for 2023. Now I'm familiar with the on post book awards, but this is new to me. So how long has that been going on, Dawn? Yeah, so this is one of the awards in the overall on post book awards that have been going on for years, but this is only the third year that they've had the Bookshop of the Year award. So it started in 2021. And the winners of the first, the first year it was won by Kenny's and Galway. And last year it was British Rebooks in Wichita town. So it's open to all Bookshops in Ireland, whether they're a branch of a chain or whether they're an independent Bookshop and anybody can vote the first round is an online vote.  There is a space for that. You don't have to. You can just select it, put in your name, your email address, and then your vote is in. And you do that on the on post website. It's on post.com slash Bookshop of the Year. You can submit your vote there. Fantastic. And I suppose that you must have thought there was a niche for this whenever you set up the awards for the Bookshop, Dawn? Yeah, well, people has always been asking why wasn't there a Bookshop award, you know, because there was awards for all the different categories of books and for writers, you know, best newcomer, best Irish published books, children's books. And the booksellers, they're kind of in the heart of us, but they weren't being recognized. So on post very kindly added us to their awards roster. And they just said that they wanted to recognize the significant role and the important contributions that's played by Bookshops in the community as not just as kind of a retail outlet, but as a social and cultural hub. And that, you know, you know yourself if you go into Bookshops, every Bookshop has its own personality and space on the customers that come in, it's based on the location of your Bookshop. And it's just to recognize the efforts put in by local booksellers to serve their own communities. And I suppose a few years ago, there was a fear that maybe Kendall might take over from the from the hard copy of the book. But I have to say. I personally just like the hard copy. It's like downloading something, a tune from iTunes or something like that. I like to have the CD in my hand and I can see, you know, who the musicians were. It's the same kind of thing, isn't it? Yeah, CDs, you can take out the cover and you can read, you know, who worked and lost and the acknowledgments. And with the book, you see the cover. You know, you don't, when you get a, I know kindles are great. They have their, they serve their purpose. And if you travel a lot or whatever, they're very handy. But nothing beats picking up the book and feeling the weight of it and having to look at the cover and just even to know how far through the book you are, you can't really do that with a kindle the same way as you can with your bookmark in your book. And you don't get to talk to anybody when you go into the bookshop. If you're downloading your book, going to the bookshop, you can have a chat and you can ask for a recommendation. You never know what you're going to get then. You know, you could get something that you'd never heard of or something you never considered reading based on the bookseller's recommendation or not recommendation. Sometimes you maybe you'd be steered clear of something that you thought you'd like. And I, as we're very lucky here in Letra Kenney, we have two bookmark bookshops and I have to say David and Val, we are very, very helpful. And as I mentioned to you, I mentioned to Amy that we do the book club here every month. And it's always lovely to go down and ask David for his recommendations of what he would think was a good seller or what book clubs generally were reading at the time. And yeah, if you say it's the personal interaction that you have with people in the bookshop that you don't get with the Kindle. Yeah, the thing with the book clubs as well is that maybe it's not the best sellers maybe they aren't the books that will give you the more talking points or the more discussion. Sometimes it's nice to find something that's a little bit more under the radar or a little bit older or just maybe that would, you know, introduce people to maybe something that they wouldn't really read normally. So yeah, we have, I have a bookshop in Covair and yeah, we have three different book clubs for adults and three for children. And the discussions are brilliant and they go off in all kinds of directions and you learn so much that you wouldn't have learned otherwise and you get to know people in your area. So that's great. The lovely social thing. And you were saying that one of the categories is for children and I think it's important that I try to encourage young children to develop a love of reading. Yeah, I think three, there's a junior, a senior and a young adult because the books, you know, it's hard to judge them against each other if it was just for children. So yeah, there's three different categories. But yeah, it is one because if children read, they'll keep the habit up into adulthood and it affects so many different areas, you know, in school that really helps them, you know, it's not just the reading or their spelling or whatever, but it helps them in lots of different ways and it helps. If you read to your children, it helps create that bond between you. It's really special. And I think I just read a quote by George Martin who wrote the the epic fantasy novels a song of ice and fire that was in the game of thrones and he said, a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only once. So you can get lost in your books and the characters and all the experiences that you can have and the places you can travel without ever leaving your house. And there's so many wonderful Irish authors at the moment. I know on our book club, we've done Neath Voices, The Herbalist. I think that was the very first one we did. And then we did Louise Kennedy's Trespasses that won one of the awards with you last. That was our last book club book. Yeah. Yeah. And we did. We didn't do The Herbalist. We did her other one, Herkind, the one that said in Kenney about the last witch trial. Yeah. And Joseph O'Connor and Claire Allen and Maggie O'Farr. You've just such a wonderful talent among Irish authors. Yeah, you really do. And the four booker prize long listed this year. So this Paul Lynch, Paul Murray, Elaine Feeney and Sebastian Barry. Yeah. I've read, I've only read the Paul Murray one so far, but I loved my favorite book this year, The Beasting. It's a great one for a book club. Very good. I haven't heard that and that'll be on my list then. And going back to the competition, it closes on the 17th of September. And there'll be 12 bookshops and writing saying that will be long listed for the competition for the awards. Yeah. So yeah. The first round is the public vote. So that finishes on the 17th of September and then 12 bookshops are long listed. Then a mystery shopper is sent around to the 12 bookshops and they are invited to submit and to send in a submission as why they should win. So then their submission down the mystery shopper feedback is taken and there's a short list of six. So that's, so the long list is announced on the 19th of October and then the short list, sorry, the longest is announced after the public vote start finishes. The short list is announced on the 19th of October. The short listed shops get to go to the on post Irish book awards and the overall winners announced there on the 22nd of November. And there's a big prize for the overall winner, I believe. Yeah, on post sponsor the prize it's worth 15,000 euros and you get a trophy and to be honest the publicity that you get and the recognition is nearly more important than the prize. Although the prize is absolutely brilliant too for any bookshop, 15,000 euros, it's great. It's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, well worth winning. But I know having spoken to Tamal from Kenny's and Hilary from Bridge Street Books, they said just the recognition you get from winning the award is just, you couldn't put a price on it. And there's an incentive too for the voters. There's a little money prize for them too. Yeah, there is. There's three prizes of 100 euro book factor and there's a draw for that after the voting ends. So yeah, so it's well worth your while putting in your vote for your bookshop. Very good. Well, I didn't get safe people in the Northwest here. We'll get their votes in and you never know one of our local bookshops might be among the six short listed. So Don, thank you so much for taking time out on your Sunday evening. And as I say, best of luck with your unpost book awards and with the bookshop 2023 award as well. Thank you very much. Bye. Bye. With the increased cost of living, you might be worried about

Okay I just wanted to introduce everybody to Edward. I just met him today and I asked him if he would come for the photo-op with us and if I didn't find out he is here on a scholarship and so how important is that and I want to add that he's from Panama and I just love that and that you know he's here in Eastern Kentucky from Panama and so we offer scholarships that's what this race is all about and so Edward who knows he might be one of the recipients. This is really an exciting time for us you know to say the least this is our initial Bear The 99 5k run this is designed as a fund raiser to raise funds for alumni scholarships and we're really looking forward to having a wonderful turnout. We're reaching out and helping other students and hopefully someday they'll be standing here talking about the same thing maybe trying to help other students throughout the Appalachian region on that but it's quite rewarding to be involved I've been involved several years many of the people here been involved several years on that they put a lot of their time in and a lot of their efforts and energy into this thing and we're representing a great university and that's number one people need to know more about the University of Piperville the opportunities here for our young people here we have the College of Medicine School of Optometry here many many other things great athletic programs and this 5k run we want people to get interested and everybody's well


So, one of the first things we have to look into is what is a table? A table is a little different than your traditional four legs, you put things on it. It's not like a desk. When we're talking about a table inside of a computer, what we're actually talking about is sort of a grid-like structure that looks sort of like this. And why this is important is because Excel sort of expands on the idea of tables by including in a way for us to reference any particular cell. So let's take a look at this guy right here. This guy right here, this is known as a single cell inside of my table. Now, how do I reference this cell versus this guy, this blue guy I got over here? How do I do that? Well, it's also a cell. So what Excel does is it actually starts to introduce our sort of referencing styling. For example, each one of our columns, our vertical sections inside of a table are given a capital letter, A, B, C, D, and E. Now, every one of my horizontal sections, they're given a row number, one, two, three, four, five, and six. The reason why they do this is now I can play battleship effectively. I can look at any one of my combinations of letters and numbers, and I'm able to then pinpoint which cell I'm referring to. Now how do I do that? I can't just arbitrarily say them in any combination. I can't just say 1A, for example. 1A doesn't do anything. 1A will actually give me an error in Excel. But if I was to say I want to reference this cell right here, I would first start with my column. Well, my column is the A column. So let's see where I can put this, let's boom, right about there. So I'm looking at this cell right here. This is known as my A column. And then it's on the fifth row, so it becomes A5. If I'm looking at that blue cell that I did earlier, that's D going all the way, so D4, because we're on the fourth row. So you might remember taking algebra once upon a time. Algebra introduced this idea of variables. Now why is that important? Why is he starting to bring up math all of a sudden? Well, one of the crazy things about Excel is it is, in fact, algebra. It's a really powerful form of algebra. So let's actually kind of look at a bit of an example. Let's say for example, I have inside of one of these cells something like subtotal. The word subtotal is perfectly fine. Let me put that T in. This is considered text. Now text doesn't do anything, it's just text. Then let's say we add in a word called tax, all right? Nothing crazy just yet, and I'm sure you can guess what would come next, total. So the reason why I mention this is obviously what we can do inside of Excel is we can start to make ourselves a glorified calculator. So my subtotal, say for example, I went out to eat last night and I had a pretty good meal. It was pretty filling, but it was around the $12 range, $12.50. So now we look at that and we go, okay, well, what else do you have to apply? It's not just $12.50. We know how things work here in the States. There's always that wonderful thing called sales tax. And so there was a 7%, and I'm just going to denote this with a dollar sign so we can kind of indicate this, that's a dollar sign, and we'll say that we had a 7% sales tax. So now some of you are pulling out your tip calculators and don't worry about that and you're cheating and you're pulling up the calculator program. Again, it's not necessarily up to us. I don't need to know what this actually is.  Well, if we look at this for a second, we can actually take a look and we can see that we have two numbers. I have a subtotal that's very important, and that cell range or that cell reference for my subtotal is B1. I have another cell reference for my tax that is B2. Let me make that one a little bigger, B2. So if we think about for a second what I need to do, the first thing I would have to do is I start inside of my Excel spreadsheet with the equal sign. That equal sign tells Excel it's about to do a formula. It's about to do a math equation. Instead of just dealing with numbers and text, it's going to deal with calculations. So the first thing is I have to put in my subtotal, B1, reason-wise because obviously I apply the tax to the subtotal and then I add whatever that is to my subtotal. I wish it was just whatever the tax time subtotal was, but that's unfortunately not how the world works. So the next portion, like I just said, is I have to apply this. Now I'm going to use PIMDOS. Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally and I'm going to put in some parentheses here. And so we see that we have a 1250. Again that was B1. I don't want to use explicitly 1250 because what happens if that changes and it will in just a bit.  Just like with my 1250, I don't want to put 7% in here. I want to put the reference to 7%. That way if 7% changes, you know, no taxation without representation, massive uprising and sales tax is obliterated from the United States. Cool. Awesome. Well, I need to make sure that my spreadsheet works. So all of a sudden, this math equation, this is going to go and it's going to look and it's going to say, oh, hey, what is B1? And it's going to grab over here and it's going to grab 1250 and it's going to do the exact same thing. It's going to say, oh, what is B1? Now it doesn't know it, so it's going to continue to do it. And then over here, it'll say what is B2? Well, it's going to grab whatever B2 is. And then it takes all of those numbers and it places them in. And then, and only then do I get the math equation of, let me scroll down a little bit. Only then do I get the math equation of 1250 plus 1250 times 0.07. Now I am going to cheat, obviously, and that 12.5 times 0.07. Not too terribly crazy. It's about 87 cents. So this translates to 87 cents. We'll round up. Why not? 86 cents. So 1250 plus 86, what we should see in the total is 1336.


Alaska, a frontier, were once known only to the coastal Eskimos and Aliutes, and the Athabascan Indian along with the Seasons, the Runs of Salmon, the migration of caribou, and was spent gathering enough food and fuel to last the long, harsh winter. Coastal natives hunted whales, walrus and seals.  But it was also the carrier of far-reaching change. Russian sailing expeditions discovered Alaska and returned to make it their colony, pelts of sea otters and seals. More than any other resource, these fur animals along with the beaver, fox, lynx and martin lured men to explore, exploit, and settle Alaska on Alaska's north slope in 1968. Alaska was thrust into a land use, land ownership debate. The Eskimos, Aliutes, and Indians voiced their ancestral claims to the land. The state government demanded its share of federal lands. And people in the other 49 states expressed concern for the future of Alaska's wildlife and their lands. Action came nationally in 1971, when the U.S. Congress passed the Alaska Native Plains Settlement Act. Under the act, Alaska natives can choose and receive title to 40 million acres or about one-ninth of the state as part of their ancestral claims to the land. The act also required the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw up to 80 million acres of existing public land for a specific consideration as new national wildlife refuges, parks, forests, and wild and scenic rivers for ownership by all Americans. Among those lands withdrawn were prime wildlife areas, their potential for addition to the National Wildlife Refuge System was reviewed by the staff of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Other federal conservation agencies studied these national interest lands. The results led to the Secretary of Interior's specific recommendations to Congress for new or expanded national wildlife refuges, national parks, chenal forests, and scenic rivers in Alaska. Lands included in those recommendations will remain in a special withdrawal category until the Congress acts on the Secretary's proposals, or until December 1978. We now have the chance under the Native Plains Settlement Act to protect the land and water living spaces of the millions of birds, fish, and mammals that thrive in the vast wilderness of Alaska. Start with several hundred million shorebirds, add 12 million waterfowl, and multiply by countless warblers and other small birds. And you have summer in Alaska. Coming from the east, west, and Gulf Coasts, endpoints in between, they set their compass-like course for Alaska even before the snow is gone each spring, and on other parts of the national wildlife refuge systems such as Blackwater, Aransas, Julie Lake, and Upper Mississippi will suddenly head north, flying almost nonstop to their traditional Alaska breeding grounds. Joining them are arctic turns which fly 10,000 miles from the opposite end of the world, Antarctica. Some plumbers cross the Pacific Ocean from China, Australia, and the South Sea Islands, Western sandpipers and others come from Central and South America. In Alaska, our prime nesting habitat for great masses of these birds, the Yukon Cuscoquim Delta, the Kayakuk region, the Yukon Flats, and the Sillawick region. Portions of each are proposed as national wildlife refuges. Dissected by rivers, old oxbows and ponds, the proposed Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge is more water than land. The tundra underfoot is spongy with moisture, cushioned with the plants and berries eaten by the birds and the people. The 12,000 Eskimo residents of the Yukon Cuscoquim Delta have a special interest in seeing these wildlife resources so vital in their daily lives, protected for future generations. Farther up the Yukon River is the Kayakuk region, where another national wildlife refuge is proposed. Rivers are the heart of the Kayakuk country. Life flows with them for hours a day by feasting on the flourishing pondweeds and for protein on the flourishing mosquitoes. Rivers escape the hungry insects by immersing themselves in the shallow lakes where they supplement their diet of willow twigs with water lilies. A life refuge, the Arctic Circle, prime habitat for looms, swans, geese and sand hill cranes spreads inland beyond the expanse of Sillawick Lake toward the headwaters of the Sillawick River. In clumps of grass and spongy tundra nests hatched thousands of birds each year. Biologists are on the lookout for the Eskimo Kurlo. These birds once lived within the region and if any still exist, they may well be found in the proposed refuge. Late summer, snow geese, sand hill cranes and others that raised their young in Siberia stopped to rest and feed in the Sillawick lowlands before flying southeast down the North American continent to winter in California and Mexico. They are not the only migratory wildlife dependent on Alaska's land and water. Alaska's rivers are the lifelines of millions of fish that migrate from the salt water into freshwater to spawn. Some traveling nearly 2,000 miles up the rivers to the streams of their origin. The salmon are of particular importance to the people along the rivers and at sea, offspring that migrate down the rivers also sustain the ocean fisheries, so much a part of Alaska's economy. Much of this fishery resource comes from the Ileana area's network of rivers, streams and lakes. This area produces the world's largest number of sockeye salmon, averaging over 12 million annually. The land offers some of the world's finest sport fishing, especially for rainbow trout. The land protecting the quality of these spawning waters is included in an Ileana National Resource Range, proposed as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The range would be jointly administered with the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management, their migration phenomenon. Caribou on the move. The two largest herds in the state cover thousands of square miles in their yearly wanderings on the North Slope. Migration means life. Inch-high lichens, the diet of the caribou, are quite fragile, taking years to grow. If the herds did not move continually, they would destroy their own food source. The porcupine herd migrate between Canada and the United States to satisfy their hunger. The proposed Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, incorporating two additions with the existing Arctic range, will help protect members of this great herd, their calving area on the coastal plain, and the fragile land they depend upon. Immediately to the west of the proposed refuge are the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay. Across the Canadian border to the east is a potential international wildlife range, also flanked by oil fields, sound the coastal plain of the refuge. After emerging from snow cave dens, the females lead their cubs out onto the Arctic ice pack. Inland, the cliffs of the Brooks Range will soon hold the aries of golden eagles and hawks, and the Peregrine Falcon, endangered by nesting failures throughout much of its other range. On the opposite end of this chain of mountains, the 240,000 caribou of the Arctic herd, largest in the state, roam across the valleys of the Noatek and into a federal petroleum withdrawal. Some of their wandering is within the proposed Noatek National Arctic range. This land would become part of the National Wildlife Refuge System in joint administration with the Bureau of Land Management. Arctic research will be encouraged on the Noatek, as well as other activities that do not harm the natural environment. There would be a 20-year moratorium on development within Noatek. After that time, the U.S. Congress would decide what will take place, lips of the spurned largest seabird colonies along Alaska's Arctic coast. Just up the coast from the Noatek, the proposed Chukchi Sea National Wildlife Refuge includes two portions of this peninsula and would protect the nesting area of two to three million marine birds, including horned puffins, burrs, and kitty wakes. The Chukchi would be one of five Alaska coastal refuges created or enlarged under this proposal. Together, they stretch along 1,500 miles of Alaska coastline and attempt to protect many of the nesting cliffs and islands used by four to six million seabirds. These areas are also used as horror rounds for such marine mammals as sea lions, walrus, and seals. Both seabirds and marine mammals spend most of their lives at sea, where no land acquisition program can protect them. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has also proposed a minimum three-mile jurisdiction offshore from these refuges and plans a seabird research program to learn how man can protect and manage this wildlife resource in its marine environment. This three-mile offshore boundary also applies to the coastal water off the proposed Togeak National Wildlife Refuge. Togeak encompasses representative samples of all Alaskan environments and wildlife. Togeak is an apt summary for all the refuge proposals, like all the others together. Togeak's values are as varied as the habitats found there. No single one overshadows the others. The Secretary of the Interior has recommended to Congress that each of these areas be your system of national wildlife refuges. Gain the spectrum of fish and wildlife lands in Alaska to rushing streams.


Good afternoon everyone and welcome this is Melissa Armo the stock swash and I'm here today to review the spy. The spy is doing it. If it's doing what I thought it would do all for the beginning of the year except for here it is it's February 25th and we've fallen numb off a planet since the open of the year but we really have fallen since the open of the year. I mean we have. I have been calling the market higher and we're finally doing it. Let's take a look at it. We opened the year here at 249. I had a big long lecture in the trading room today. I wish I would have taped it. It was a good lecture but I'll try to go over it a little bit here now. What's going to happen is the market is going to continue higher and as the move lifts higher the 200-period moving average here is going to start to pull down. This will pull down as the market price lifts higher. It's going to pull down and flatten and then as this moves higher. It's going to be a meaning of the minds that should happen here. Well I'd say 200 but if the rally happens fast it could happen around 198-199 but it's really this level in here and I look for significant buying to come into the market above this level and we could get there sooner rather than later. Why? We gapped down yesterday and I saw the gap down the market yesterday and I felt that we would hold. We really faked lower hard though but we held very quickly at 10 a.m. Set the low of the day at 10 a.m. rally all day. Could have bought the market yesterday. A beautiful bullish move. Knew we'd get up today. We did however I wanted us to get up more. I wanted us to get up more. It doesn't matter. We're rallying and again it looks like we have the low of the day putting again at 10 o'clock. Boom! Look at this little guy right in here. Bounce off of it. You could go along the market right in here actually right now. I'm not going to do this but you could. You could go along the market right now. Here it is setting up on every time playing on the planet. What I want to see us do is continue this all day today and into the gap tomorrow. Follow through today and the live day. Gap up tomorrow. Run and rally. Keep going. Have a three to five day rally here which is what the market needs to do to get up to this number and prove hello. I'm finally willing to go higher. It's going to do it. I've set it all along. I know a lot of people question me because the way the market fell but the market is still in the uptrend so it was just a matter of time before it would say to everyone here I am and the time is coming now. This is a great buy point in the market. This is a great buy point in the market and I did an email out a week ago two weeks ago with a spy trade call. This is great, great long here. The market is a long and it's a good price to buy it because a lot of people don't see this yet however I see it. How am I able to predict the movements in the market? How is I able to even predict the market was higher when I did all this gobbledygook because I was reading the gaps. I was reading the bearish gaps. I was reading the bullish gaps. I was reading every gap in here that the market did all along the way and since the time that we held in here and then gapped up one, two, three, four days in a row I really felt like this is the end of the drop-off. We will not go back here down here and Tesla we're not going to do it. We didn't have to do it here and we and I didn't know we go down here but look at this. I mean we're not going to do it. We're not going to retest that area and this isn't about picking bottoms or anything else like this. You're buying a bullish gap up in the market. You could have been long anywhere in here and the market's just not as short and it really was never been as short and then you could have made money short in the market here but it wouldn't have made any sense because why? You don't know when this thing is going to come in and start to blow the way that I've been predicting. So you go with the direction of the institutional money and the blow money which is bullish buying higher boom. So the look of this is going to come down. These two people will get married. This is the man. This is the woman. She will run up to him faster. She will run up to him. He will come down. They will get married here. Run 199, 198, 200 and then real buying started to come in and then look for the market to make a new high and I don't know when that happens because I don't know how fast we do this but what I want to see in an ideal world is a market to follow through tomorrow higher and have a big bullish day to close out Friday into what would normally be the end of the month except for it's not because of leap year, Monday's the end of the month, the 29th, but this is still going to run I think tomorrow in follow through and we could gap up tomorrow or neutral. We could gap up and I don't know where we close today but we're going to hold strong and we're already green in the day when we were red. Buying is coming in. Go with it. Go with it. Run to the Dickens. Have a great night everyone. Email me if you'd like to sign up for the Golden Gap class. If you have any questions, email me too. How am I able to predict something like this that almost seems impossible and no one believed me except for the people in the room that trade with me every day and see me call things that that work out that no one can see but me. It's because of the gaps. This is not something beyond normal comprehension. I have a 26 point gap rating system. You learn it. You can do this too. I'm teaching people how to do it. I will say though the market was a tough call on here to see it hold and that it would still go higher but we're doing it. I mean we are doing it. Have a great day everyone. Email me at the stockswush.com. List at the stockswush.com for more information. Have a great night.


Well, hi there. I'm Sandy Olnock and today I'm going to show you how to make these crazy wacky trees and To color these cute critters from Avery Elle I Got a little peek ahead at the Avery Elle release And I picked out this stamp set because I thought it was so cute it has these critters and they have little feet And I wanted to do stuff with their little feet. They were so cute So I stacked everything up in my misty to get my layout kind of organized in my mind and Have things layered from the back to the front. So the thing in the front is going to be the little feet So I'll just close the misty on it. It'll leave the feet there. I'm going to stamp them in Excuse me twilight ink And it's a dye ink So I'm going to be able to use this gray ink to make what we call and I don't know why we call it this I still haven't figured it out. No line coloring Basically, the idea is to stamp in a light color so that all of your coloring seems to be Hand drawn as opposed to stamped and having cartoony outlines to them And I wanted this thing to be kind of fun and whimsical. So it was pretty much a blast to make I'm using a clips tape for all of the masking just going from the front to the back Stamping something stamp the thing behind it stamp the thing behind that Building up little by little and I got really tired of cutting out masks. So when it came to the giraffe I just put a little whack of scrap paper or scrap Masking paper down and didn't bother to cut anything out for that one I got out my polychromos pencils, which I keep in a case and this is the colors used For this card and that image is over on my blog if you need to capture that so you can color this one the same way I like my pencils really sharp. So I wanted to show you the close-up so you could see just how sharp they are I generally use my quiet sharp pencil sharpener for the first bit And then sometimes I take a handheld and I do just like one quick turn in the handheld too because that will get them a little bit sharper, but My handheld gets jammed all the time So if I try to sharpen the whole thing with handheld I waste a lot of pencil So the quiet sharp really helps quite a bit in that particular case. So The colors that I'm using on this. I'm trying to unify the whole picture And that's important because I don't want it to look really disparate So you're going to see some colors repeated throughout here, but used in different ways The sharp pencils are really good for getting this kind of detail Especially when you're doing no line coloring and you're drawing back in things like the eyes or the whiskers Because those details need to be sharp. So getting a good sharp pencil is good Now this color is the same yellow that's in the leopard, but I'm going to change it by adding Kind of a brownie orange or orange brownish color on top of it And then even some darker shadows with a brown because those are colors that I know I can use in the giraffe So I'm trying to think ahead to colors that I can use in different proportions on each animal So that they all look like they're in one drawing. They're not all in like completely wild colors that are Not the same as each other But they they work together this way So each one has different colors in different proportions on it, but they're the same pencil colors So limited palette tends to help with things like that So little by little getting him done getting all his little details in there and then comes the crazy trees now these trees I saw on a veggie tails video a while back and I've been wanting to put them Into a card and these guys seem perfect for this. So I'm gonna have a wild jungle full of these crazy mushroom trees or kind of I don't know Parachute trees, maybe not really sure what they're shaped like But they look like giant mushrooms on the top and then they have these like funky stems on the bottom So they still have branches And so I've put the light green color down and I'm using a blending stump to blend the color You don't have to use blending solution And I didn't want these to be really smooth because the animals are not gonna be really smooth I didn't blend those So I just wanted this to be blended enough that it falls into the background I don't want them to the trees to fight for the attention with my little critters I just wanted them to be somewhere crazy and whimsical So after doing these sort of mushroom shaped top to it I'm gonna put an oval down here in the bottom and I'll do three of these I'm just gonna show you one of them, but they're all the same process and Then I'm doing negative coloring around the branches that allows the light green to kind of peek up into the dark green and Look like it's kind of coming from the bottom and reaching up into that open area and Just using a slightly darker color for that It's a little bit tedious to do but it was so much fun And I finally got the idea out of my head because you know ever since I watched that little video a couple months ago I've been thinking about it and thinking I gotta find the right stamp set to do that with So if you are a VeggieTales fan They have a bunch of really good ideas for crazy background type things cartoons tend to simplify The scenes quite a bit. So it's a great kind of source for inspiration So I've got my three trees there with their wacky branches and stuff coming down And I realized the giraffe also needs to be finished off He doesn't have that long of a neck in the stamp set So I would have had to draw him in there anyway, but since he's sticking up so much higher than everybody else He just needed to be finished off before he got down there And I had to finish off my tree branches bring those down a little bit the tree trunks behind the animals and then came finishing off the bottom and I realized after I started putting this grass in that a really cute idea would have been to just stamp their feet In front of the banner at the bottom, too So they have like little hands on top and their little feet on bottom would be really cute But the grass solution was not a bad one. I just did two different greens To fill it in and to get a little more depth on the bottom But I didn't want a ton of detail down there I just wanted enough that it starts to feel kind of like a forest and give some reason for Not having the animals finished off down below And then I used my blending stump to do just a little bit of quick blending on the grass Just to create something a little bit smoother there and Then came putting the sentiment on now This was probably the hardest part believe it or not trying to get that curve to match because the sentiments are straight and I just kind of kept moving it up and then moving the other part down and closing it and Fortunately, I have a misty so I can do that this misty stamping tool helps and then I used a Yeah, a green that didn't quite work So I went over it with a black pencil and I apologize for this being out of focus The camera apparently wanted to focus on my hand For whatever reason it liked my purple nail polish There you go So that's my crazy card for this blog hop with Avery L and Ellen Hudson So go over to my blog and even if you don't have time to visit the whole hop and see all of the different cards Go over there and leave a comment because you know what happens in blog hops You don't want to miss out on the chance. There's a link in the do we do it'll take you right there It'll only take a second Thank you so much for spending just a couple minutes with me today I will be back with another video very soon Let me know in a comment below if you think these are mushrooms or parachutes or what should we call them? I'll see you guys later. Bye


Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with 2019 Panini Flawless Football. Two brief case break. Pick your team number 14.  Really appreciate it.

I'm not quite sure I can wrap my head around the, I mean you can, there's an about page right there if you want to look that up ladies and gentlemen. I'm not quite sure I've wrapped my head around it. But but hey, it's selling on a secondary market. So there you go. Alright, there is Miles Sanders rookie showcase quad relic two out of 25. That'll be for Ari and the Eagles, the Fly Eagles Fly. There is Gardner Minshew rookie quad. Nice. That's 10 out of 20 for the Jaguars. And that's Jacksonville is a number block team. Jacksonville is on this side and Jacksonville zero. Jacksonville zero is Jimmy. James Connelly that one. Next up is an autograph. Irv Smith junior 18 out of 20.  So that'll go to eight. 18 out of 20. Minnesota eight is on this side here. George with Irv. Got a lion coming up. Seven out of 20. Three color patch. Nice autograph. That's a catch. It's a nice catch there. Detroit Lions trendsetter.

Dual relic and autograph. One out of 15. Terry McLauren. Washington is on this side. That's Jimmy Connelly again. He has number one and gets the Terry McLauren. Their number one receiver. He's had some excellent moments. Excellent highlight moments out there in DC. And greats, Brian Dawkins. 10 out of 15. He is pretty great. Arik Hevner with the Eagles. Let's see what we got here. You can see the encase cards on the top screen right there. Let's do, oh, there's a couple of nice things here. All right, so let's do this one first. There is Deon Sanders. Falcons legend. 7 out of 10. Deon Sanders Sapphire for Atlanta. Steve Locke with the Dirty Birds. And I guess we'll do this one. Yeah, look at this. Debo Samuel. One out of three. Rookie showcase. Look at that. Got a little NFL shield up there. Players Association. Nike Swoosh. A letter or number right there. That's pretty awesome. Niners. That is Eric Jay with the 49ers. One out of three out of five and under get the train whistle. All aboard the Big Head Express. And on this side is, that's my boy Josh Jacobs. Ruby. 16 out of 20. From my Raiders. Who's got my Raiders? Dwayne. Dwayne B. With my Raiders. Nice Josh Jacobs. Nice. All right. All those briefcases here. No worries, Eric. Thanks for getting in. And Riffer was saying he were going to buy the Niners in 15, but they got taken, oh, yeah, get those teams early, ladies and gentlemen. Because once, like, this is 14, right? So once this fills, then you can expect number blocks in number 14. So get your spot or the next break. But the second, the next break after that, no number blocks. All the teams are available straight up.  If you wait too long, if you wait too long, it may end up in a number block. So buy early, ladies and gentlemen. There's advantages to that to lock in your team on jaspyscasebreaks.com. All right. Again, these, these blockchain cards are bonus cards. They don't replace a card here, which is nice. Baker Mayfield. I got Ruby right there, NFL 100. I'm watching Baker right now. Donald versus Baker Mayfield. This goes to Cleveland, Dwayne, Brazic, Dwayne B, with the Browns. I have no idea who the Raiders are going to take in the draft. I think if it was higher up, you'd be able to figure out, maybe calculate who they're going to take, but don't know. A lot of smoke and mirrors. You know, Mike Mayock has said there's no value in taking receiver in the first round. You know, like you, you can find just as much value in later rounds, but then watch them take a receiver in the first round. I know they have a lot of needs, so best available, I say. Eight out of 15, there's Trace McSorley. I think that's the K from rookie on his jersey. That's for the Ravens number block. Purplebirds eight, I think is over here. George with number eight. There's Cam Newton. Where's Cam Newton going to end up? 14 out of 20. This Cam Newton's going to end up with David and the Panthers. He got the Panthers straight up. There's Charles Haley, Niners edition, nine out of 15, Mark N saying that he thinks that the Niners probably represent the best value team straight up. Right. Debo, Joey Bo, or Joey Bo, Nick Bosa, blockchain stuff, old school guys. Charles Haley. So this also goes to Eric Jay, who picked up the Niners straight up. 23 out of 25, Luke Keekley, Pro Bowl autograph. Nice. That'll be for Carolina once again, and that's another one for David and the Panthers. Cat team mojo. Hi, Tim. I paid for what? What did you pay for? You tell me. Are you on any of these lists? Oh, I see you here. You got, you got number zero for these teams right here. So none of these teams have, none of these numbers have hit for any of these teams yet. And if that zero spot will get you redemptions to for these teams, but we just got the redemption. So that's out, but we still got the rest of the case here. All right. We got Emerald four out of five, Nikhil Harry, and that's for the Patriots, Jeremy Tillman, Jeremy, all aboard the Big Hit Express. We'll wrinkly on the penny sleeve there, but secure. We've got Champ Bailey eight out of 10. Looks like a little bit of turf there. Champ Bailey going to the Broncos. This is my, my enemy team, my rival team. Denver eight is George. Again, I think all of these numbers have been eight for George. Wow. I don't like the team. I respect Champ Bailey though as a Raiders guy. I can respect him. I think that's his given name, right? Like on his birth certificate, it's champ. Oh, Randy Moss, one out of 10. Flawless penmanship autograph. Randy Moss for the Vikings. Minnesota one is on this list right here. Scott Goodman with number one. It's pretty nice. There you go. Scott Goodman with number Minnesota one. No Champ, not on the birth certificate. Oh, it's Roland Champ. I thought it was on the birth. I thought his parents actually named him Champ. Oh, we've got some nice stuff here. All right. On the right side, we've got Joey Bosa four out of 20. Ruby, this smoke and hit for the Charger Serenity with the bolts. And we've got over here a train whistle for the Chiefs three out of five. Travis Kelsey Emerald. Kane Anderson with Kansas City. Kane all aboard the Big Head Express. And the last one here is also for Kane Anderson and the Cardinals. Wow. Two color patch. Signature gloves, actually. Two color gloves. Five out of 20. Kyler Murray. Nice. There you go. And all the gems, naturally mined, not lab grown. We got the cases closed, ladies and gentlemen, on another great break of Flawless. This is Pick Your Team 14. We got a couple more in the store. Check it out on Jasper's case breaks.com. And I'm Joe and I'll break that with you next time. Bye.


Welcome back to another review. And today I want to take a look at the Oculus Quest. There have been many reviews about Oculus Quest, and I'm not going to do a tech review because there are so many out there and there's so much better, obviously. But I want to take a look at this in terms of animation and what you could put on there that might be helpful or useful or fun. That is animation related. That being said, if you've never seen this before, I'm going to do a quick unboxing so you can see what you get when you buy this. So let me unwrap this. There you go. Now that it's not shiny anymore, you have a better look. This is the case. This comes out. So you have that box that gives you. Stuff on the back, then in here, you can open this up. Empty box and brand new in here. So far, no dog hair in there. But sometimes I get things and there's my dog's hair everywhere. I don't know how he does this. So you have the headset before you start. Install the app, sure, which I did already. And then here you got the lensy stuff. Take this out. And then here you have your controllers. And since I know this already, there is a magnetic cap where you can take this off. You slide it off and you got to put in batteries. So I'm going to put in my rechargeable batteries because this is not USB chargeable. There you go. Labeled left.  Stuff this back in here. And then there's this. Let me take this out. And in here is another box that you can open up. And that's your charger, USB-C. You got an extra divider for the glasses. And then you got a very long USB-C cable. This goes into your headset, so it's angled. So it goes down and it's very, very long. And that's it. There you go. These are the contents of the Oculus Quest. Spring it back out again. There you go. And it has also a springy thingy to put it on your face. There you go. And down here you have an adjustment in terms of volume and the lens distance here. Smells so new, so weird, right? Smelling tech or something. I like this. It's very compact. It's very easy to use. I used this before. This is my second one. I gave my other one to my brother. It was he and his daughters liked it so much. So early Christmas presents, useless information. No one needs to know that. So I used that before and I'm a massive, massive fan in terms of you can put it anywhere and then you can track your garden wall so that you don't bump into walls and furniture and stuff. So it's very, very easy to set up. Very compact and light. It's very comfy as well. What can you do with this in terms of animation? That's a good question, JD from 2019. And here I am, JD from 2020, to answer that question. Was ever since the Oculus Quest came out, there have been so many updates that made the headset better and better. And one of the cool things is Oculus Link because without that, you have the Quest and you got the Quest Library, there are lots of cool games and experiences, lots of cool stuff, I'm a big fan. But for instance, you can't use Quill. Quill is an Oculus Rift and Oculus Rift S exclusive title. With the Oculus Link, you can connect your Quest to your VR-ready machine and have access to all of the Oculus Library and also SteamVR. So if you check out Oculus and you have it plugged in, you can see that your Quest is now active and that gives you access to all of this, depending on what you bought, of course, like Quill. So Quill is a program that you can use to animate and you can also use an VR. I haven't used Quill yet and I haven't used an VR yet, so that's gonna be Clips in the Future where I take specific animation programs for VR and VR and try them out and do a review about it. Now the cool thing is you also have access to SteamVR. So if you use SteamVR and you launch it, that gives you access to your Steam library with all the amount of games that I have and never play. Well, one of them would be AnimVR. There's Virtual Animator and I'm going to do some research to see what else is out there. If you know about a VR program that does animation as well, be it Oculus or Steam, let me know in the comments. I'm curious. I wanna compile a nice big list and review all these programs because I love VR, it's very exciting and I'm very curious to see how it translates to animate in VR. A lot of it is also 2D, which I'm horrible at. So it's gonna be a very interesting experience, but some of these are also for 3D models and you can animate, kinda like you animate in Maya, but in VR. So I wanna try all of these. So how do you set this up? Again, I have a link in the description with my favorite YouTubers about the Quest and they have many, many updates in terms of how you set up the Quest with the cable and Oculus software and SteamVR. So things change every now and then, you have to update your software a lot. There are always new quirks that show up. So instead of me doing something that's gonna be outdated in a couple of days, check out the description to those YouTubers and they publish a ton of really awesome, very informative clips that will give you a step-by-step guide in terms of how to set this up. So I keep talking about the Oculus Link headset cable. So let's go back to 2019 JD when this came in the mail. All the size and angles. All right, before that, I used this cable by Anker. It is fairly long too, but as it goes to the back of my computer, it's only three meters. So I could take the computer out and turn it, but ultimately it's not that long. I go back, take that chair out here. It kinda works, but I'm just left in the middle of the room, can't go all the way to the back because I'm in this office. If I push the couches off to the wall, it's a fairly big play space, but I didn't use Anker, which worked totally fine. Technically, you could add an extension cable, which I did, but then the Oculus Link connection was flashing in and out. It wasn't quite working. Probably user error. Probably also just I had to update and probably do something. But anyway, I didn't wanna get this even though it's a lot more money, but it's just one cable, sturdy, five meters. I wanna test this out. Probably in a couple of weeks or maybe a month or two, probably sooner. Third-party cable manufacturers who have now looked at the official specs of this, they'll probably release their own five-meter cables that are much, much cheaper. So in here, you have that little destroying, ripping. Take this out. You got that cable and that's kinda it. You have a set up your Link headset cable and warranty book that no one ever reads. And then installation is all fairly simple. From this, step one, step two, step three. I mean, you plug it in to the headset, you plug it into the computer, it's fairly simple. This thing is massive.  There you go. There's one end, headset end, because it has that L-shape. Again, very, very long. The lasso. Anyway, so I'm gonna test that out. I wanna go through and test Quill and Adam VR and all the other animation-specific programs and do a single reviews for each one of them. If you get to Quest, you saw what's in the package and by now, if you updated everything, you have fingerprint tracking in beta form. It's very promising. And you have different options with Oculus Link cable so you can play Rift S games and even Steam VR games. Now they have, it's my dog, Indy. Come here. Come here. Oh, good boy. That's it for this video. This time we'll all say bye, Indy and I. Indy, you wanna say goodbye? He's so cute. That's it. So easily bored. Again, that's it. A quick overview of what's inside the Oculus Quest package, the cables you can get and everything, but link in description with all the information about the setup and Oculus Link and all that good stuff by other people who do a much better job than me. But that's it. So if you watched the whole thing as always, thank you for watching, appreciate it. If you don't wanna miss anything, hit that subscribe button and the bell button to get a notification for all the uploads you know the whole drill. But that's it from me and I will say goodbye and see you in my next clip.


This study found that adherents to World Health Organization, WHO, guidelines for physical activity, PA, and screen time, ST, during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with lower health-related quality of life, HRQL, among primary and secondary school students in Switzerland. The authors observed a decrease in adherents to PA and ST recommendations in 2020, which returned to pre-pandemic levels by 2022. Additionally, fewer children met ST recommendations in 2020 and 2021 compared to before the pandemic, while adherents to PA recommendations remained relatively stable. Finally, the authors found that children who met both PA and ST recommendations had significantly better HRQL than those who did not meet any or both recommendations.
