So, let us look at the example. So, it says look at the x is bigger than 0, y is bigger than 0, x plus y less than or equal to 1. So, what does it look like? So, domain is, domain D is x, y such that x bigger than 0, y bigger than 0 and x plus y less than or equal to 1.  So, where is the domain? It is in the first quadrant, x is bigger than 0, y is bigger than 0. So, on the first quadrant, so y x, x plus y is less than or equal to 1. What does that mean? x is bigger than 0. So, you can say y is less than or equal to 1 minus x or x is less than or equal to 1 minus y depending on, what is that x plus y equal to 1? That is a line. So, that is a line cutting x, x is at 1, cutting y, x is at 1. So, that is this line. So, that is this line x plus y equal to 1. So, this is 1, this is 1, this is 0. So, what is our domain? Our domain is precisely this triangle. So, if you want to write this D, you can write D as, so this D can be written as x, y. x lies between 0 and 1 and for every x, what is the height vertical line going, moving parallel to y axis? It goes from 0 up to, so y goes from 0 to 1 minus x. We have to interpret that line as a function of x, y equal to something, as a function of x, y equal to some psi x. So, that is, I can also write probably this as x, y. y goes from 0 to 1 and if I want to look at every point y, it starts here and goes up to that line and that line remains the same, the limit remains the same, wherever be the point. So, that is x between 0 and goes up to 1 minus y. It should be a function of y, so 1 minus 1. So, it is of type 1 and type to both. So, what else? f is a function given by, so you can integrate that function, if you like. We will not go into integration. So, f x, y, integrate between 0 and 1. Here, what is fixed here? I am changing that example or what? So, you can integrate. So, let us integrate as a function of, is it okay? Because the function was, there are two parts of the function, x square plus y square. So, integral of x square plus integral of y square. So, that is two parts of the integral, integrate with respect to dx, with respect to y and then integrate that with respect to x. So, this is a simple example of, you can try again yourself later on. Let us look at something. Then, by Fugini's theorem, this is given by, that is okay. For a rectangular region, what do you think? For a rectangular region, what should be the volume? If the region at the base is a rectangle with sides a, b and c, d, then Fugini's theorem gives me this integral. If the function is constant function, what it should be? A rectangle is both of type 1 and type 2. You can calculate either way. If the function is constant, that comes out. Integral 1, whether you write type 1, a, b cross c, d. So, you integrate over c, d. So, d minus c into b minus a. So, that is the volume of the parallel of the any way. So, that is, let us not go into that. Supposing your function splits into two parts, fxy is a product of two functions, phi x and psi y. So, when you integrate fxy with respect to x, fix or y fix, other function is not going to play any part in the iterated integral. Is it clear? When you integrate fxy with respect to x, then phi y is a constant. So, that will come out as a constant. So, your double integral splits into product of two integrals, integral of phi and integral of psi. So, that is what it says, because the function itself is splitting into two parts, independent parts depending on x and depending on y. So, these are the things. Let me look at some more interesting examples. These are all simple examples. x square plus 2y, dxy over this. So, what will be the integral? Integral of x square plus, or you can calculate directly, x square plus 2y. Integrative with respect to x first or y first, whichever you like. So, when you are integrating this with respect to x, it will be x cube by 3. 2y, y is a constant when you are integrating. So, it will be 2yx appropriate limits. So, only keep that in mind. So, when you are integrating with respect to x, it comes out this and then integrate that with respect to x between limits 0 and 1. So, a simple example. And if your domain is both of type 1 and type 2, Fumini theorem says you can calculate it either of the ways, iterated integral, either by fixing x first or y first, then the two should be same. So, your iterated integrations, if the domain is of both type 1 and type 2, then the double integral should be same as integrating with respect to domain type 1 and also equal to integrating as domain type 2. Both integrals should come out equal, because both are equal to the double integral. So, keep that in mind. To check sometimes, I think let me look at. So, these are all simple examples. Type 1, type 2, disk and all that kind of thing. So, I think type 2, I should discuss something more which requires. So, you have to decide upon, given the domain, whether you want to write it as type 1 or type 2. It may or may not be possible to write every domain as type 1 or type 2. You have to see which is possible and accordingly use Fumini theorem for that. So, we have seen examples of those domains. Let us look at this, where D is the region bounded by the parabolas 2x square and 1 plus x square. So, now, we have curve sketching of one variable will come in handy. What are these parabolas and what is meaning of saying is region bounded by the parabolas. So, let us look at 1 is y equal to 2x square that is 1 and the other one is y equal to 1 plus x square. So, what are these parabolas? y equal to 2x square that is our standard parabola y equal to x square anyway, 2 times. So, let us draw that. So, it will look like something like this. What is y equal to 1 plus x square? I have copied 1 plus x square. It is again y equal to x square essentially, but y is shifted by 1. So, when x is equal to 0, y is equal to 1. So, if I draw this parabola now, I am saying it should look like this. It should intersect the other parabola y. See, if you look at y equal to 2x square for the same x, y is varying twice. Here y is only x square. So, that is increasing at double the rate. So, what is the region bounded by it? So, what is it? What we are looking at? We are looking at this point. So, this is the region. So, this is a domain D. Is it of type 1 or type 2 or neither? If it is of type 1, then I should have x lies between something. So, it looks like x lies between this and this. So, I have to find these points of intersection. So, what are these points? How do I find the points of intersection? 2x square equal to 1 plus x square. That means x square equal to 1. So, x is equal to plus minus 1. These are the coordinates of the points of intersection, the x coordinate. So, x lies between minus 1 plus 1. And for every x, where does the y vary? So, that is the question we have to analyze. So, for every x, here is the y. So, it goes from the lower parabola to the upper parabola. So, y goes from, for every x, y goes from the lower parabola, that is, what is the lower parabola, y equal to 2x square, 1 plus x square. So, type 1. I can integrate and be happy about it, whatever the function may be. Let us try to write it as a type 2. Can I write this as type 2? All x, y. So, I have to find out what is this value of y. So, what is this point? What is this point? y equal to 2. So, y goes from 0 to 2. Now, if I want to find out what is the limits of x, I have to go parallel to the x axis, because x I want to verify. So, for that, for any point in between this, if I go, I go out and then I come in again. So, up to some part, it starts here and ends here. If I go here, then it starts same and ends same. So, it does not look like a nice idea to write this as a domain of type 2. You cannot, but if you like, you can try to cut it up into many pieces and do it. So, when you want to integrate over such a domain, you should decide to write domain as type 1 and use that to calculate the integral. So, that choice we will have to make. So, you define. So, all this is described here. So, when you want to say whatever functions fx plus y. So, integrate 2x square to 1 plus x square. Integrate with respect to x is outside. So, type 1 we have written minus 1 to plus 1. So, that is, if we try to write it as type 2, we will have a problem and so on. So, more examples of double integrals. So, I think other examples you should try to do it yourself. Now, I would like to spend some time on. So, this is, when your function, when your domain D contained in R 2 and D is interpreted in Cartesian coordinates R 2. So, there are two in the plane. There are different ways of locating a point. You can locate a point differently. Why are coordinates defined at all? What is the need of having coordinate geometry? Because it helps you to locate a point in the plane. For example, in the line, what is the need of putting a 0 somewhere and 1, 2, 3, 4, so on? Because calibration of the line helps you to locate a point. The point is minus 5. That means what? That means somewhere you have marked as 0, some point as a reference point as 0. If you move on the right side, you write plus. If you move on the left side, you write it as minus just for your convenience. Then you mark equal units. On the right side, if you go 5 units, then you are reaching a point which has got coordinate plus 5 as only left side. So, on the line, marking those things are putting coordinates for every point on the line. It is a very interesting story. If you imagine a planet which is all linear, everybody stays on the line. Two persons meet on that line somewhere. One person invites the other one to come to my home in the evening. He asks, where do we live? What shall we tell? How does the person tell the other person? Where does the other person live? Imagine a road which is very long. There is no signpost anywhere. So, you do not know which side the habitation is, which is on this side or on this side. Which side you should start moving? Like a hero is lost on a road. He does not know which side to go. So, that is where these mile posts, those help. If you walk somewhere and you find it says, 20 kilometers on this side will be a city called so and so. So, on the line, on a line land, if you want to give every point an address, you have to choose one reference point. Call it 0. Every city has a gantager reference point. So, that is the reference. What you do? From the reference point, it also gives you a direction on the line. One side you can call it positive, other side you can call as negative. That is mathematical way of saying. One side you can call as north, other side you can call as south. Whatever you like, one side you can call it as ram, other side you can call it sham. It does not matter what name you give. Because we are doing mathematics, we say on this side, what is left and right on the line? Depends on where you are standing and where you are looking at. If you are looking this way, this is left, this is right. If you look other way around, that is left, that is right. So, you have to say this side is called plus this side is called negative, whatever it is. Now, every point gets a coordinate. How many units mark up? That is coordinate geometry in line. You need one reference point and one direction. That is one reason why line is called one dimensional, only one direction. Now, imagine a plane. Imagine a plane on which no signpost, nothing is visible anywhere and the same problem. How does two percent have each other, where to come? To come to my house, where is your house? So, to give an address to every place, every point on the plane, you need first a reference point. Then, one direction is not enough because one direction will allow only to move around one line. To get out of this, you need another direction. So, you need two directions. One direction is given by one line. The second direction is given by another line passing through the reference point, but not parallel to this because if it is parallel, it is not giving you any direction. Neither coincident with it, then again no direction is given. So, you need two intersecting lines which are not coincidental or parallel. Then, move along one direction, some units move along other directions, some other units and you reach a point. You do not need a rectangular coordinate system. For coordinate geometry, you do not need. You only need two directions, that means two lines and a reference point. That is why the plane is called two dimensional. Only rectangular because it helps you to compute things easily. The distance between two points is given by Pythagoras theorem very easily. If the axes are not perpendicular to each other, you have to apply trigonometry. That is the birth of trigonometry. Y trigonometry is required. Anyway, what we are saying is what we have interpreted D as? We have interpreted D in the plane by coordinate system. That means x coordinate and y coordinate. What is this? We have got two lines, reference lines. One is called x axis, other is called y axis. They are perpendicular and this is the origin. A point, how do I locate a point? You draw a perpendicular, call it as y. See how much it is from other one x. So, this has got x comma y. These are the coordinates. So, this locates the point. Given a point in the plane, given two axes and a point of reference, you can write down the coordinates. So, every point gets a unique coordinate. Conversely, it is one to one map. Every point gets coordinates and every coordinate gives you a point. So, supposing you have 5, 6. I say a point is 5, 6 coordinates.  You will get a point. Every point gets coordinates. Every coordinate ordered pair gives you a point. So, points in the plane can be located in one to one way by coordination coordinates. But this is not the only way. Here is another way I can locate. This is only for my imagination. So, let us put a reference point. Imagine they are not there. So, let me remove them so that you do not feel. So, reference point is required. Now, after this reference point, this is the point I want to locate. This is the reference point. How do I locate it? Without rectangular coordinate system or coordinate system at all? First of all, let us see how much is this distance d? d is at some distance. How many points are there at this distance d from origin? They are infinite. So, these are all points. That is a circle. Now, this point I am looking at. Why I am looking at that point? Because I want to fix this point. So, I look at a reference line and look at how much is the angle I make. So, this point is known how much is the distance d? How much is the angle theta? If the angle is theta is here, then this is the point I am locating. So, every point at a distance d is uniquely known by the angle it makes with the reference line. If there is some different point, then distance is different. So, all the points in the plane are located by treating them as points on a circle of some radius and how much angle it makes. So, d and theta. Again, you need two reference things. How much is the distance? How much is the angle? These are called polar coordinates. The angle comes into picture. So, we will see next time how do you evaluate an integral when the domain is best described by polar coordinates. Because supposing you want to integrate over this sector, then there is neither one type 1 nor type 2. You have to make efforts. So, we want to change the variables from Cartesian to polar and see how does the double integral change evaluation of double integral change. So, we will look at what is called change of variable formula for double integrals from Cartesian to polar. So, let us stop here.


The idea for a transcribathon, I must confess, came from information about an earlier transcribathon sponsored by the Smithsonian organization. And once seeing that, or Smithsonian Institution, well, what a wonderful, efficient way for us to dive into this mass of papers and begin to re-acquaint ourselves with Julian Bond. To our great surprise, the impact of the transcribathon itself, we felt immediately, largely through reports from people who participated. What they reported to us was a sense of deep fulfillment at being engaged with these materials, that they felt they were doing more than simply transcribing words from a page into a computer, but they were actually engaged with this figure, whose words dating decades back, in many cases, decades before, still retain their relevance, and their importance. For the Carter G. Woodson Institute, it's been wonderful for that part of our mission that is connected to public outreach, that we were enabled to undertake a project that involved us so directly with the community, was quite wonderful for us as a fulfillment of our lifelong mission to have whatever we do have relevance for, implications for the broader public. Anyone with a mass of materials awaiting transcription or digitization has this as a possibility. I think the others especially interested in the parts of this project that are highly democratic. We don't think typically about ordinary citizens participating in the life and development of academic scholarship. With this transcribeathon, we kind of demystify or certainly hope we were demystifying the process of engaging in academic scholarship, what it means to do academic scholarship. Colored conventions meetings happened all over North America, and this is why the records of those meetings have been found in archives all over the United States and other countries as well. This is also why we've been so committed to drawing in contributors and partners from many places, because we depend on them to submit previously unavailable minutes and other documents we can add to our database. You could say our project follows in the archival footsteps of the colored conventions movement. Absolutely agree with that Curtis. As you well know, one of the core principles of the colored conventions project is to mirror the spirit, the organizing structure, and the focus of the actual original colored conventions themselves. When we had our first public facing initiative, which was to crowdsource transcribing our archives, we got in contact with African American churches where the original conventions had been held. It was important to us to make sure that current congregations had an opportunity to not only interact with this history, but to be participants in making it present and relevant to this current generation. So as a consequence, we had hundreds of African American church members transcribing 19th century texts. It was a wonderful experience. The Civil War Governors of Kentucky Digital Documentary Edition seeks research audiences as diverse as the historical people whose lives it documents. Housed within a state historical agency, the project takes seriously its engagement with researchers, students, and history enthusiasts wherever they are within or outside of Kentucky. Civil War Governors has also included emerging scholars in the work of the project itself, recruiting graduate students and U.S. history programs across the country to contribute research and build new nodes on our historical social network. Through that collaborative work, the students gain insight into the funding and administration of the types of large-scale research projects which they might establish and lead later in their careers. Through K-12 lesson plans, social media outreach, and in-person programming for family and local history groups, Civil War Governors embraces its open accessibility to welcome new learners into the same universe of historical documents and historical individuals that its scholarly users investigate. We noticed when we spoke off campus to groups of senior citizens that they were both utterly fascinated by the project, by the family letters themselves, by the discussion of the 19th century. And when we projected images, the digital images up onto a screen, they were extremely facile in being able to read the 19th century cursive handwriting. This is something that the students have always struggled a bit with because they didn't learn as much about cursive handwriting themselves in school. And then we also noticed that the senior citizens had a vocabulary that stretched to 19th century usages of terms in the ways that, again, challenged the students. So it occurred to us that maybe if you brought together the students who have all the technical skills associated or quickly learned them for digitizing these letters and for building and designing and building a website transcribing and annotating and manipulating the images of what they're doing, we bring them together with the senior citizens. Maybe we've got two different skill sets that would be very complementary. And what we found when we did this, when we brought together senior citizen volunteers to work with us on this transcription and annotation, was that they loved working with the students and the students loved working with them. So we were expanding the project, the reach of the project, and we were also having a lot more fun in expanding the educational experience associated with the project as well. Ultimately, we also realized that we were increasing our productivity and that we were getting more letters transcribed, annotated, coded and posted on the website because the senior citizens were very, very fast once we trained them in doing the transcription and annotation. On the website that the students designed and that we, with the help of library staff, have built sewerproject.org, we've documented all the pedagogy, all the rules, all the guidelines for what we're doing and how to train people to do this kind of work. We also have on the website videos that highlight some of the dimensions that we're talking about right now of this project and we've got other images that show the process by which the students and the volunteers work together on these 19th century letters.


Hello, I am Thea Lee, president of the Economic Policy Institute. Every month, CREDO gives financial support to progressive organizations based on your votes. In June, I'm asking you to vote for EPI to support the research that powers the movement for economic justice. For over 30 years, EPI has provided the data and policy analysis to defend the interests of all working people, including the tens of millions who in recent months have lost their jobs or those who are still going to work but in sometimes unsafe conditions. We have been hard at work this year analyzing and measuring the magnitude and economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and helping to shape the policies needed to respond effectively and at scale. As always, we have given special emphasis to the needs of the most vulnerable workers and communities. By voting for EPI, you help us provide rapid response to an overwhelming number of requests from journalists, lawmakers, and grassroots advocates to help them interpret the economic fallout from this global pandemic, understand the scale of the problems we face, and identify what can be done to help workers the safety and security they need during this crisis and in the years ahead. Thank you for your support.


It's really helpful as it runs to be able to see what it's doing and in this case The number that we are watching carefully is the loss So we have a value logger, which is just a convenient way to go through each iteration and pull out a particular value if we want to watch how it changes over time and We'll create it. We'll specify. Hey every thousand iterations show me and exist show me what's going on and make sure to Average the results over every thousand iterations. So we'll get one point every thousand on this plot Tracking our progress seeing how our loss changes We have specified a million Training iterations. So if we let it run to completion, we'll end up with a little line plot that has a thousand points on it Next we can step through our training loop We've chosen our number of iterations in this case a million for Each one of those we can say take our classifier our structure run the forward pass forward pass is the function that steps through this graph and Runs every block Generates its output and passes it as input to whatever blocks It's connected to and steps all the way across the graph Then we log the loss whatever the loss value is when it gets to the end we record that and Then we run the backward pass step backward through this directed acyclic graph Starting at the end go all the way to the beginning in our case running Back propagation and updating all of those parameters as it goes and then Every time we pass I we have it set to every 20,000 iterations every save interval stop Make a copy of our model Strip out the training data block because it's kind of large it has all 50,000 Examples of digits loaded into it 50,000 images. So we want to trade take those out and Then save it as our model file name and then we have that cached for use later So in under a hundred lines of code you can see we Imported all the things that we need from cottonwood We chose our key parameters We created a structure and pulled all those blocks in created them and named them Then we connected them together Into our structure into our graph and then ran them through their training iterations So that there is the training loop We can then run this at the command line or wherever you want train dot pi and it will take and Train this model to perform as well as it possibly can on these on this data


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here We're gonna be talking about I know what you did last summer in this video mostly here today And then we'll teeter off into talking about a small update regarding terrifying 3 But just to start off and recap everything we've learned so far about this upcoming installment in the franchise Last February it was reported that Sony will be looking to give us a true I know what you did last summer 3, but I guess it could actually be considered a 2 if it ignores Still know what you did anyway Freddy Prince Junior and Jennifer Love Hewitt were reportedly in talks to reprise their roles now Leah McKendrick wrote the screenplay while Jen Robinson is supposed to be directing it Freddy Prince Junior denied reading a script sometime after that And then he seemed pretty upset to some degree or bothered at least that his name was brought up in the reports But according to Senate Stealth, this could all just be a tactic by Prince to get a bigger payday Then it was just crickets for the rest of the year until more recently When McKendrick made some interesting comments about trust in her audience and taking the less is more approach Which I love reading about so of course naturally would also like to contribute it to us hearing nothing in crickets For the rest of the year after February was the ongoing writers and actor strike which seems to have impacted what was going on as I work my way through into where we stand right now as It pertains to the current updating status or the current to date status on this film So it was just crickets for the rest of the year after that but then even prior to McKendrick's comments Jennifer Love Hewitt who we know starred as Julie James in the first two films was asked on a podcast if she'd be down to return and She said yes, what was interesting though, and I've stated this in the past It was very interesting how she never brought up the fact that a new one was in development Or that she was in talks to return leaving me to think these two things She either had already signed and is under an NDA or she just completely forgot about a new one being in development Despite reputable outlets reporting. She was in talks to return The only known story details that we have so far even though they're vague They gave us an idea of what we would of what it would be like because it seems like it's gonna be very similar to screen 5 So the pitch reportedly blew studio execs away When the sequel was pitched last fall Especially given the recent success of the screen franchise the idea of bringing back original cast members to draw in old fans We're also adding fresh faces to relaunch the series was too good for the studio to pass up Sony also saw it important to not reboot the franchise But do a sort of passing of the torch type sequel where original cast members are brought back as a new generation cast members Are added to the ensemble similar to films like scream or creed Once the idea was pitched by Robinson and McKendrick the next step was getting hewed and prints back on board Which the two were gang for after hearing the pitch now As of today the update we've got this week comes from Senes Delf It seems that Julie is a must-have for this story to work according to Senes Delf I know what you did last summer is moving along nicely But the script still isn't ready which again probably has to do with the writer strike last year The pitch that was reportedly Loved can only work if Julie comes back according to Senes Delf At least if she comes back he they put in parentheses which leaves me thinking Ray is expendable to the story Even though they want him back, but Julie is a must-have But why my best guess is that this story has to do with Julie's kids Maybe a sibling we didn't know about or some relative, but Ray it is the kids Ray isn't the daddy So that's why he's expendable to the story if it's that type of scenario or Julie could be at the center of the motive so the motive becomes odd if Julie is missing There's just endless possibilities as to why Julie Seems like a must-have again according to the words of Senes Delf What do you guys think it is about Julie that's making her a must-have For the ongoing proceedings that pertain to the upcoming. I know what you did last summer three I also do not see anywhere online where there's any indication that they are either a ignoring Still know what you did last summer or keeping it canning my best assumption is that they are gonna still keep it canning but Legit cuz if you do a legacy sequel is there really a need to ignore? I still know what you did last summer. I don't think so even though I think the first film is better than I still know what you did last summer I don't think there's a need to ignore it And of course it does leave the door open to have brandy return because I know so many people want brandy to return I just don't see a need to ignore it at all I'm just curious as to what even could possibly be the story that makes Julie such a significant puzzle or piece to the puzzle Because what what else is there? I this is why I love knowing that the pitch blew these Sony execs away because then it comes now down to us seeing it and Seeing oh, that's what you were blown away by and if it's something lackluster is gonna be like well You could have kept that in the drafts. I don't know what you were so impressed by so we're gonna shift gears Into terrifier 3 art the clown might be running into some problems at a bar during terrifier 3 Allegedly art is going to be confronted by a guy named Eddie who was ready to knock his head off with a bat So what happens is they toast art the clown? After he comes into the bar or whatever facility this is I'm assuming and they call him clowny But I guess art does something wild like he always tends to do around others with no care And then Eddie threatens to beat him if he doesn't leave Now it would also appear that art manages to whiz or pee on someone during this sequence before leaving We got this cool picture of art on set from Damian Leone today as well Hopefully filming is going incredibly fine for everyone out there in New York because the filming just started late last month I believe but let me know what you guys think about this down the comment section below if you haven't already of course Make sure you go ahead and subscribe turn on post notification numbers video in the description I will have links to all of my social media accounts. I am on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course Let me know is any movies news or views let me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video

grew up in rural Indiana in the 1980s. So it may not surprise you if you know anything about that era to know that I heard a lot about Larry Bird growing up. Larry Bird is a legend around Indiana which is a basketball crazy state to begin with and then to have a legend like Larry Bird hail from Indiana, from French lick Indiana. You know we got a lot of lessons related to Larry Bird. In particular we got a lot of lessons about Larry Bird's legendary work ethic and how hard he worked at what he did. Now Larry Bird had a lot of natural basketball skills there's no doubt about that but one of the things he was most known for as a basketball player was his effectiveness from the free throw line which may sound pretty you know unglamorous right free throws nobody's guarding you nobody's blocking your shot nobody's really harassing you and yet it's a hard skill for lots of professional players to master but Bird was one of the best ever and that came from his growing up his work ethic. Bird as legend would have it spent hours and hours at this very barn practicing free throws as well as other shots obviously and other basketball skills but he would spend hours every day practicing free throw shots because he felt like that was a skill that he could always improve upon and would serve him well. His work ethic in that area continued on in the NBA and we as youngsters in Indiana during his heyday in the NBA heard all about and if you work as hard as Larry Bird that you could do just about anything. Well I don't know that I was ever gonna make it as a professional basketball player the way Larry Bird did but there were some lessons to be learned there as much as I may hate to admit that today. The same can be said for public speaking a lot of people think well you know you're just either born of an effective public speaker or you're not you're either born with those skills or you're not and most people are not and while there is some truth to the idea that there are some folks who have some of those natural abilities that charisma that confidence that willingness to get up on the stage a little more naturally if you will a little more easily public speaking is a very learnable skill. Most people in fact start off with a lot of those nerves and most of the most effective public speakers that you've probably heard started off in very much the same spot many of you are at they're nervous they're anxious about getting up and speaking in public I can tell you that I was as a college student public speaking was one of the last classes that I signed up for I waited until I almost had to take it I was almost forced to take it because I was so nervous about it. The good news is that public speaking as I said is a learnable skill much like shooting a free throw there there are things that you can do that you can learn to become more effective at it and with practice it comes more easily so that's what I want to emphasize in this first video in the series for public speaking that we're going to take a look at here that we've called the building blocks of public speaking that's really what we're doing here we're looking to lay some foundation and build like you would a tower of blocks if you will toward those more advanced skills but we're going to start at the bottom here and and work our way up it's it's much like you don't feel it felt part of another analogy it's much like building a house I assume most of you live in a house or have lived in a house or live in an apartment or someplace like that it didn't just materialize like that though right didn't just show up looking like this pretty little house here on the street did it know it started with somebody building it and when they built it hopefully they started with the foundation they start with a good solid foundation to build upon otherwise things are just going to be rickety and fall apart very quickly so if you have a basement it may look a little different than this but if you don't then your foundation hopefully looks a little something like this little solid then once you have that solid foundation then you can start to put up a frame you can start to see some walls taking shape and and see where the roof is going to go and hopefully enclose those eventually right once you have that then you can move in some basic furniture and if you're starting out you probably just have some basic furniture I know when I was in college it was it was a probably a couch we got donated from some of these parents and I'm probably a large wire spool that we used as a table and we thought that was amazing right and so we have this basic furniture and then over time as you as you gather resources and the ability to purchase new things and you gather different tastes and things then you start to decorate a little more right you start putting things on the walls you start putting different little touches around that make it more of a home you put those those finishing touches in in addition to the furniture in the framework and things like that okay all of this is going someplace I promise I'm done with the analogies with the exception of the building blocks analogy here that we're going to talk about how do we do that same thing as public speakers how do we learn and grow our skills and abilities as public speakers well first of all we start just like we were with the house we start with the foundation you got to have that base layer that solid base layer or none of the rest of it's gonna stand and for us as public speakers that foundation very simply and I'm not being facetious here as far as I'm concerned is don't pass out don't throw up don't run away that's your baseline if you can do that in your first speech whatever your first speech is that you're giving if you can do that if you can avoid passing out throwing up or running away then that's a success you've made it you've demonstrated that you can in fact be an effective public speaker you have what it takes because you have the ability to get up and stand in front of that audience and just go for it right that's really what we're working toward here at the beginning so the foundation is just have the the ability to get up in front of that audience and do so without passing out throwing up or running away once we have that foundation once we have that baseline foundation then we can start to build some some skills we can start to work on that framework right we can start using the analogy that house again we can start putting up some framing for the walls and for the roof and things like that and by that in public speaking we're talking about things like topic selection organization and outline introduction conclusion supporting material source citation these are all really foundational fundamental pieces of a speech most people want to jump right ahead and say well how do I stop saying as much well we'll get to that we'll get to that that's part of it or how do I deliver a speech more smoothly again that's important and we're going to get to that but before we can do any of that we've got to have this framework in place of are you prepared have you selected an appropriate topic have you organized your speech really effectively is your outline prepared effectively do you have a good solid introduction and conclusion and all those types of things right that's the framework of your speech so that's going to be the next level that we work on once we have the ability to get up in front of that audience without passing out throwing up or running away then we need to work on some of these things like topic selection and organization and those types of things once we have a handle on those fundamentals and we've got our framework solidly there we've built in the walls in the roof and we've got everything enclosed then we can start to look at the furnishings we can start to look at what's going to make up some of the finer points of our speech and really take it to that next level what's going to take it from that base level you know first apartment in college where you've got the wire the large wire spools your table and and some you know boxes or crates as your easier is your end tables for your couches and things what's going to take that to the next level where you actually have furniture that matches and and fits in and home appropriately so for us the furnishings are going to be things like language using the best possible language that we can to deliver our message delivery and delivery method in particular what's going to be the most effective delivery method for us what about our connectives our transitions are those solidly in place how are we using our presentational aids and then our delivery I said we're going to get to that our delivery a basic vocal and physical delivery do we have an effective vocal variety are we able to remove distractions as well as we can as we're giving our speeches those are the things that make up our furnishings so that's that next level once we've got that solid framework of a good topic a good organization a good outline and that type of thing then we'll start to worry about some of these next level things and we'll work on that throughout this course then finally we get to the finishing touches right we've got our we've got a nice home we've got a good furnishings in there and we're really starting to pull things together in that way now we're going to look at some higher higher ticket items like how do we limit as I said unlike those are important things to do but they're going to come later on in the process so once we get to that point we've got all that other stuff set then we can start to think about how do I really focus on limiting these these things and how do I focus on owning the stage how do I focus on projecting that confidence what can I do to really establish to the audience that I have the confidence here that I have that charisma and those are things we can generate of course but we're going to worry about those later on down the road right those are higher level skills and as important as they are they're not as important if we don't first have that framework right doesn't do you any good to have you know all this fancy artwork if you don't have a wall to hang it on right or you don't have anywhere to put these nice things first we need to have a solid foundation then work through that framework right then worry about the furnishings and finally we'll put on those finishing touches that make us enough a really spectacular public speaker the good news is these are all again learnable skills there are things we can learn their things we can work on and they're going to come slowly they're going to come one piece at a time we're going to build one level at a time and focus on one level at a time and we'll get through all of them eventually here but we're going to take out one step at a time and not have to worry about it all at once right oftentimes two people will ask me you know well what do you need to do these things what is important how do you gain all of the stuff where do you get it all and I tell more there are three things the big three these are the big three things that are important if you're going to develop as a public speaker the first is some education you're getting that here you're you're taking a course theoretically right you're you're taking a course you're you're gaining some education here the good news is public speaking is very much it's sort of a black and white thing it's a list of dues and a list of don'ts and we're going to emphasize the dues and we're going to try and stay away from the don'ts you know at its core it's really that simple other aspects of communication are very complicated interpersonal communication for example is very much a lot of gray area there's not a lot of well if this happens then do that but public speaking it's not totally black and white but there's essentially a list of dues things you want to do and things you should do and and things you want to emphasize and then there's a list of don'ts things you want to stay away from things like removing distraction things like removing those vocal fillers like unlike and things like that that you want to try and avoid education will help you identify those things right will help us identify what are the dues what are the don'ts and we can we can progress toward those things then so you need some education first and foremost preparation and this is going to be largely on you you're going to be pressed into this in your course I'm sure but but preparation really comes down to you what are you willing to put into this right are you willing to do the work that it takes to be prepared to be an effective public speaker the beginning parts of that the those building blocks as you may have noticed were all really preparatory things topic selection organization outlining introductions and conclusions supporting materials those types of things are all things that come through preparation there's a lot of public speaking that happens well before the speech you know the speech is however long but you're going to spend 10 times that before the speech actually preparing it right and preparation is really important we're going to show you how to prepare what things you can do to prepare in the end it really comes down to your willingness to do so though so this one's pretty much on you largely on you preparation is largely on you once you get some education and some preparation the other thing that you need to mix in here is some experience you need to get up and speak you're going to have a chance to do that in this course and and any public speaking course that you're taking you'll have the chance to to get some experience I would encourage you to look for opportunities outside of your course as well whatever opportunity you have to speak in front of a crowd take it and I'll tell you though you're not going to have some moment where you're just like all of a sudden oh wow now I don't mind public speaking at all this is wonderful I really enjoy this and let me do more of it it's probably not going to happen like that but every time you speak it's going to get a little bit easier it's going to get that much easier and over time those little bits will add up and become a much greater comfort level with public speaking partly because again you've seen that you're not going to pass out you're not going to throw up you're not going to run away partly because you know now I'm prepared and if you're prepared there's no reason that you shouldn't enter this with confidence right no reason you shouldn't enter any speaking experience with confidence if you have prepared effectively and appropriately so through that experience you're going to gain that knowledge that I can do this I know what to do I am prepared and and you're going to have that that growth in self-confidence that you need to be able to do it more effectively a little bit each time so that experience is really key take advantage of every opportunity that you have to gain some experience so you throw all three of these things in the blender education the preparation the experience all of that together and all the sudden you're becoming a more effective public speaker one step at a time if you have questions about any of these building blocks or about you know improving as a public speaker or anything related to the public speaking process please feel free to email me I would love to chat with you about that in the meantime I hope you get out there and really take hold of that education make the most of your preparation time and take advantage of every experience opportunity that you have as a public speaker to continue to grow and to continue to build upon your own building blocks as a public speaker


Shaila Liromacello was born in the Philippines in 1970, although she relocated to the US at the age 6. She was raised in a family where his child's career path had been chosen for him or her. Her mother, though an industrious woman who engaged in all kinds of business from dog farms to rice mills to sugar processing, wanted her children to become professionals. Shaila was expected to become a lawyer, but she decided to follow her mother's path and choose to study economics as a first degree and bagged a master's degree in business administration at Harvard University. Hungry to make a change and pursue her dreams, Shaila, while attending Harvard, spent 30 hours a week engaging in community services and learned all she could about running a business by providing consulting services for several businesses on campus. Hired from the tedious lectures of the day, Shaila headed home carrying two heavy shopping bags. Her telephone rang. She had to drop one of the shopping bags to reach for a phone in her purse. Her voice on the other end was her mom's. She was hysterical. It didn't make much sense until Shaila heard the word heart attack. Shaila raced home and found out that her father, while going up the stairs, had fallen and had a heart attack. It was really disturbing news and Shaila kind of blamed herself. Her father and mother had been invited from the Philippines to help with taking care of her first son, Ryan, while Shaila and her husband juggled a lot of things. She got married and had Ryan while still attending Mount Holyoke College. Her stress doubled as she struggled with caring for her baby and a sick father while also juggling college with part-time work. It was difficult accessing affordable care and support for her son and sick father. This painful experience gave birth to the idea of creating a platform where families can access services for their care needs. Shaila had her second son while studying for a master's degree and had to juggle the task of being a mom, wife and student with her entrepreneurial goals. She forged on, determined to allow nothing to stop her and eventually founded Care.com, an online marketplace that professionally matched families with caregivers. Care.com now has more than 15 million members across 16 countries. As of 2019, Shaila Liro Marcello is estimated to have a net worth of $7.48 million. Now here's the thing. Many people in the world naturally look for whom to blame for whatever happens to them. If you operate with this mindset, most opportunities will elude you.  Mary Roberts Reinhardt said and I quote, Every crucial experience can be regarded either as a setback or the start of a wonderful new adventure. It depends on your perspective. Here's my story. Growing up in a small village, I suffered rheumatism for the first 17 years of my life and because I was not healthy, I couldn't get involved with most things boys of my age did. Then I turned to books. Since I couldn't play soccer or fight the way every kid in my community did, I turned to books and read, just to keep myself happy. Many years later, however, I look back and notice that most of the kids who grew up together have either become tauts or they are just average individuals due to the nature of the society we grew up in. Yes, the society I was born into was so bad that it takes the grace of God for you to grow up in such a society and amounts to anything. That grace came to me through sickness and yes, it was the most terrible experience of my life but it also was the source of grace for me because without the sickness which kept me indoors, I'll today be a cultist, just an average guy on the street. But because rheumatism kept me indoor and forced me to make books my source of entertainment, I read a lot and as a result, I came across information which changed my life. What are your problems? What are your headaches? Don't tell me that it's all painful because I already know that.  The one thing I know is that at the end of the tunnel, there is light. If only you can believe that your present situation has in it a seed that can lead you into the next level. If only you can see your problem and difficulties as a temporary trading ground to prepare you for a better future. If only you can sit back and think of how you can turn this problem to an opportunity. Napoleon Hill said and I quote, every adversity contains at the same time a seed of equivalent opportunity. Maya Angelou said we will sometimes have defeats in life but you can have defeats without being defeated.  When you see failure and defeat as merely part of the process to get to when. Another common myth is for you to think that you're the only one who has some problems or to think that your life is more difficult than that of others. Some people even think that those who become successful in life simply have some luck along the way.  To be lucky in life, you have to be courageous. To be lucky, you have to stand up and confront your excuses. To be lucky, you have to stop pointing fingers. Katia Buchamp, co-founder and CEO of Brechebox, said whatever it is that you think you can do and whatever it is that you think stands between you and that, stop making excuses. If you want to turn your life around, you have to stop making excuses. You have to be courageous and some now believe that there's a seed of prosperity in your present problem. Shirley Leroy Marcello turned her problems to wealth. You can do the same. If you believe, you can. Thank you very much for watching our videos.

Internal Revenue Service IRS tax news. Get ready now to file your 2022 federal income tax return. Get ready now. That's quite a demanding tone taken from the IRS here, don't you think? I mean, I'll start my tax preparation when I'm good and ready, dang it. The procrastination is like my natural right. I'm sure it's in the Constitution or Bill of Rights somewhere, like the right to procrastination. Possibly both, like between free speech and like freedom of religion or something. It's got to be in there somewhere, although as we know free speech is basically vanished these days. But in any case, perhaps procrastination falls under the concept of the pursuit of happiness itself. Because like procrastinating and agonizing over having to pay the IRS for as long as possible is clearly a wellspring of happiness. In fact, the pursuit of happiness is what led me to my noble quest to pay as little taxes as possible in the first place. Resulting in the joy of not wasting productivity by giving it to people that think we can power the country by mandating everyone wear like a funny hat with a little propeller on top and requiring us to run a mile each day to like make the little propeller spin, which produces precisely enough energy, which we don't have the capacity to store, to expend on a nice static shock, which you will receive next time you touch a doorknob. And of course, this will result in a law mandating everyone use electronic door openers so as to allow us to store the electronic charge generated from our funny hats with the little propeller on top longer. Also, don't forget to wear a cloth mask to stop the transmission of COVID. And first a joke. To protest global warming, an environmentalist threw soup on and glued his hand to a famous painting in an art gallery of a Las Vegas hotel casino. But why? Beats me. Proclaiming his hand will remain stuck to the painting until all cows in the entire world are equipped with large carbon capture devices attached to their asses. Our early attempts went through several preparations. Preparations A through G were a complete failure. But now, ladies and gentlemen, we finally have preparation H. And yes, donkey should have the same thing attached to their asses as well. What?   Yeah, right? Ah, Dr. It's a really good plan. In any case, at least this guy's got a plan, right? Yes, Frau. On the whole, I think preparation H feels good. I mean, that's a step up for most of these people. And the best part of this plan is, no one can stop me. Hahaha However, the Las Vegas hotel casino called in the pit boss from the casino. No, no, no. I wanted everybody to know that things would change around here. The hand was left glued to the painting.  And the entire ordeal was a great boon for the hotel casino Ticket sales for the art gallery increasing dramatically while cheating in the casino Simultaneously decreased dramatically And the hand it still stuck to the painting as As sadly the world's cows have not yet been equipped with large carbon-captured devices attached to their assets The Gotham City's earned the rest from crime, but if the forces of evil should rise again To cast a shadow on the heart of the city Call me I mean honestly, how did such a coherent plan to solve the global warming problem fail like this?  Let me laugh even harder I are 2022-203 November 22nd 2022 Washington The internal revenue service today encouraged taxpayers to take simple steps before the end of the year to make filing their 2022 federal tax return easier with a little advanced preparation a preview of tax changes and convenient online tools Taxpayers can approach the upcoming tax season with confidence That sounds like a lot of stuff here a little advanced preparation a preview of tax changes and convenient online tools Note that over the last couple of years We have had significant changes to the tax code and people's working conditions have generally changed a lot as well So the tax code is complex in and of itself But when we have changes to the tax code that makes it harder for us to kind of comply with it Given the fact that we're supposed to be paying our taxes as we generate or earn the revenue Either through the withholdings that we tell our employer to do with the help and use of the W4 Or by paying them estimate attacks payments in a situation where we have like our own business or gig work Or something like that. So if there's inconsistency We can't really look at the last year to help us to determine what those Kind of payments should be made in the following year So that leads us to need to make more updates in terms of what our estimates are for our estimated payments Either through the withholdings or the estimated payments So now that it is the end of the year in order to pay as little taxes as possible What you would like to do is try to avoid penalties and interest and so you might do kind of like a projection There's online tools on iris.gov to help you to see how much withholdings Are you required to have if you can get those withholdings in or get the payments in place before a year end Then it might be a good thing that could lower penalties and interest for the taxes Also note that some of these changes to the tax code have been impacting Lower income individuals as they change things like refundable tax credits And so tax returns that possibly may have been easy in the past for low income tax returns Are actually oftentimes more complex than like middle income tax returns Due to the complexities on how these kind of refundable credits work that the earned income credit is one of the most Complex credits to kind of calculate the advance, you know The payments for the child tax credit and the changes to the laws related to it from year to year are confusing so so we want to get an idea of those things tax software helps and Making sure that we get our payment on time and possibly using the tools from irs to get a projection of how much of Withholdings would be would be a good idea. So filers can visit the get ready web page There's a link to that here to find guidance on what's new and what to consider when filing a 2022 tax return they can also find helpful information on Organizing tax records and a list of online tools and resources Get ready by gathering tax records when filers have all their tax documentation gathered and organized They're in the best position to file an accurate return and avoid processing or refund delays or receiving irs Letters now is a good time for taxpayers to consider financial transactions that occurred in 2022 if they're taxable and how and how they should be reported The irs encourages taxpayers to develop an electronic or paper record keeping system to store tax related information in one place for easy access So it used to be you get all this stuff the 1099s W2's and whatnot and possibly put them into a folder designated for your Taxes, but now a lot of times people have the electronic kind of payment or processing systems and Companies are trying to go green and whatnot not to save the world, but because it's cheaper But possibly we can do both right and but in any case So now you're gonna might you might have to get those those Documentations from the website or possibly they're gonna email, you know a link to it hopefully in a secured fashion and Store those documentations so taxpayers should keep copies of file tax returns and they're supporting documents for at least three years That's because the statute of limitations is generally three years meaning the irs can come back and audit you Basically for no reason they could just basically just pick it by random and audit you in the three years If there is like fraud that they suspect they could possibly have a longer time frame from that So you might want to hold on to it for more than three years possibly what you don't want to do is feel like oh look I filed the tax return and because it was accepted because they didn't kick it back because they didn't ask any questions right away I'm good and then that could lead people to to take riskier positions And then as time passes people start to take riskier and riskier positions That's what kind of happens in fraud cases of all kinds right people get comfortable And they start expanding the the fraudulent acts that they're doing because they feel like they're not being caught Note that the that the auditing on the tax code side of things is kind of like a Traffic cop auditing speeding meaning you're not going to get caught all the time But when you do get caught the the penalty is supposed to be sufficient enough to dissuade you From doing it in the future or the example of the penalty they hit somebody else with should be significant enough That's the logic kind of behind it in any case before January taxpayers should confirm that their employer bank and other Payers have their current mailing address and email address to ensure they receive their year-end financial statements typically your informs start arriving by mail or are available online in mid to late January so Usually the the employers have till until like the end of January to issue the W2s the 1099s As well should be going out quickly But sometimes those 1099s in my experience they they send them out to clear the deadline And then they have to adjust it later So just be aware of the fact of that kind of problem taxpayers should carefully review each income statement for accuracy and contact The issuer could to correct information that needs to be updated So note that if you get documentation that is incorrect like a 1099 for example That doesn't have the right box checked off for like a retirement distribution Marking it as a normal distribution or an early distribution for example as opposed to a qualified distribution That is not subject to tax for whatever reason a rollover or something like that if that happens Then you can't really fix that by going to the IRS because they sent a copy of that to the IRS as well So if you try to fix it on the IRS side, it's gonna be quite difficult because they got the documentation from the employer Ideally, you would like to go back to the issuer of the 1099 or the W2 or whatever say hey You messed it up. You clicked off the wrong box fix it send a copy to the IRS So when I file the tax return, I don't get I don't get Audit or I don't get a problem with it and notice that that kind of problem is one that you most likely will receive a letter on Quickly meaning if you if you report the wrong number on a W2 form or you report that something was not Taxable on a 1099 when the 1099 said it was taxable Indicated by the box that was checked off. You'll most likely get a really quick response the IRS saying no this is incorrect We're gonna go by the documentation we have unless you're gonna argue against that For whatever reason and that's because the computer can basically pick that up, right? But if you do a more complex type of thing so you you charge too much charitable deduction and you didn't actually give to charity The iris might randomly audit you on that they wouldn't know about it It wouldn't be an automatic thing But they might pick your return for whatever reason and then discover that kind of thing So there's some kind of stuff that they have documentation on which if you counter their documentation W2s 1099s, you're gonna get a response almost for sure that they're gonna question it if you do other stuff that they Don't have documentation on even if it's not supported on your end You might not get an audit for it But if you do get an audit then you know you're gonna be you're gonna have a problem if you don't have the documentation for it Is the general idea now if the employer cannot fix it or the issue of the 1099 cannot fix it You still want to file your return properly in accordance with what you think is right even though the documentation is wrong But it's gonna be a much more cumbersome process To get it fixed in that case then it would if you could just get the issuer to fix it on their end So get ready for what's new for tax year? 2022 with the end of the year approaching time is running out to take advantage of the tax withholding estimator This is their online tool. It's actually a pretty good tool because remember that the tax code is changing a lot and so When you're trying to predict what's gonna happen in the future You can't really rely on the last year return and you can't even really rely on last year's software because the next year is gonna change A lot generally so you really need software to make a projection in terms of what your withholdings should be for the for your W4 withholdings or what your estimated taxes should be if you don't have access to that software or a tax preparer Even low-income people are gonna need some kind of projection software generally and this is getting more and more like a projection software to help you to determine More accurately what your taxes will be beforehand so that you can properly Create your tent your w4 and or your estimated payments So this online tool is designed to help taxpayers determine the right amount of tax to have withheld from their paycheck Some people may have life changes. Uh, let Like getting married or divorced welcome a child into taking on a second job So whenever you have these kind of changes you get married You have a divorce or something you have a child or you take on a second job No matter what circumstances we are in with the tax code Even if the tax code wasn't changing you'd still want to take into consideration What are the tax consequences because they're going to be significant? But even if you don't have those things happening these days just because the tax law changed a whole bunch And a lot of people are going to be changing jobs and whatnot in the last couple years Then you're probably going to more people are going to need to do an estimate even if they had a fairly Unchanging circumstances in comparison to everyone else over the last couple years So other taxpayers may need to consider estimate of tax payments due to non-wage income from unemployment self-employment annuity income or even digital assets the last quarterly payment for 2022 is due on January 17th 2023 the tax withholding estimator can help wage earners determine if there is a need to adjust their withholding Consider additional tax payments or submit a new w4 form to their employer to avoid an unexpected tax bill when they file So if you're under withholding Now you better you might be able to change that quickly and try to withhold a lot If you're way under because it's the end of the year here before the end of the year And then you can possibly avoid penalties and interest on on paying too little and hopefully get a bigger refund Just in in general or pay less taxes at tax time if you're paying estimated payments You pay quarterly and you and so you have till the end of Of january to pay the last quarter of the year But notice if you're a w2 employee then the withholdings happen throughout the year stopping in december So so you don't have that at it you could still make an estimated payment But you don't have that that same withholding capacity It stops, you know through january it stops at december however If you make a withholding and you and you make more heavy withholdings on the plus side to the employees If you make more heavy withholdings in december It's more likely that the irs will just assume that your withholdings were the same all year round And possibly not penalize you for not paying more in january as opposed to december for example Whereas if you make quarterly tax payments the iris might Is more likely to say well you didn't pay enough in january you paid it all in december And therefore we're going to tax you for paying late, right? So if you can get the withholdings up also, notice you get the withholdings up for the last payment in in the in the 2022 you're going to have to adjust it again in january to get it to the right amount So that you have the right amount withheld from your paycheck for the entire year to pay your estimated taxes for next year 2023 Okay, as taxpayers gather tax records. They should remember that most income is taxable So this includes unemployment income refund interest and income from the gig economy and digital assets They're stressing those two here because they think people are being sneaky with those two taxpayers should report the income They earned including from part-time work side jobs or the sale of goods American rescue plan act of 2021 lowered the reporting threshold for third party networks that process payments for those doing business prior to 2022 Form 1099 k was issued for third party payment network transactions only if the total number of transactions exceeded 200 for the year and the aggregate amount of these transactions exceeded 20,000 now a single transaction exceeding $600 Will trigger a 1099 k so notice The obviously the irs remember how this whole thing works We have an income tax the irs doesn't trust people to report their income and therefore they're going to try to get leveraged They're going to try to get information on their side. How could they do that? They're going to go to the issuer typically of the money the ones that paying the money So an employer the irs has co-opted them has has basically corrupted them into being a tax collector, right? The employer do you what they're saying? Hey, do you want to have a deduction of wages if you do? Then we want you to not only tell us what they made with a w2 so we can charge them income taxes But actually withhold from them before they get the money And then if you have 1099s you have a similar situation although they don't have the withholdings But they're still going to pressure the payer to issue the 1099 to basically rat out You know the person that received the money so they could double check that the person that received it is paying the irs their taxes Now you've got other situations where you've got these intermediary Transactions this has to do with like gig economy and stuff where it's more difficult for them to uh to to check in on people The classic thing where it was hard for them to check on people is of course Like when people get paid cash from customers hair salons Massage parlors bars and stuff Those have been notoriously difficult for the irs to regulate Because the people paying them aren't a business and they don't get a deduction You can't you can't force someone getting a haircut to issue the person that cuts your hair a 1099 Why because you're not getting a deduction for the 1099 so there's no leverage on the irs side The new thing of course is the gig economy Where the platforms are connecting two people together, but aren't really hiring anybody So that's becoming bigger and bigger So we got all these all these little businesses that have their own business But are working through a platform the irs wants to get in there somewhere and and get information so they can Strangle the economy to death But at least get some taxes in the meantime and so they're going to go into the intermediaries like the platforms themselves And the and the credit cards that might be issuing the payments and the and the intermediaries like the Like the pay pals and whatnot to try to get in there somewhere So they can issue the 1099 and see who's earning what at a fairly low threshold as we could see to try to Get the get the information for taxes So the lower information reporting threshold and the summary of income on form 1099 k enables taxpayers to more easily Track the amounts received. See they're doing it for you. It's all for you. You understand. It's not that they're trying to Oh my god, okay remember money received through third party payments applications from friends and relatives are personal gifts or reimbursements for personal expenses Is not taxables those who received 10 to 99 k Reflecting income they didn't earn should call the issuer So again, you could have issues with this 1099 k like okay Well, what if I got it and it wasn't actually income it was something else a gift or something I don't know Well now the irs has it and and if you don't report it then the irs is going to have a problem How are you going to fix it? You got to go to the issuer of the 1099 And that's the easiest way to fix it. Otherwise, it's going to be more cumbersome of a prasim The irs cannot correct it. So credit amounts also change Each year like the child tax credit the ctc earned income tax credit e itc and dependent care credit taxpayers can use the interactive tax assistant on irs.gov to determine their eligibility for tax credits Some taxpayers may qualify This year for the expanded eligibility for the premium tax credit Well, others may qualify for a clean vehicle credit through the inflation reduction act of 2022 refunds may be smaller in 2023 Taxpayers will not receive an additional stimulus payment with a 2023 tax refund because there were no economic impact payments for 2022 So those were all 2000, you know the prior years. So in addition Taxpayers who who don't itemize And take the standard deduction won't be able to deduct charitable contributions the irs cautions taxpayers Not to rely on receiving a 2022 federal tax refund by a certain date, especially when making major purchases or paying bills so we don't generally want to Depend on the money before we get the money unless we just really have to Some returns may require additional review and may take longer for example The irs and its partners in the tax industry continue to strengthen security reviews to protect against identity theft So identity theft is becoming bigger and bigger as they have expanded in the last few years Things like refundable credits making it a more profitable thievery thing So additionally refunds for people claiming the the earned income tax credits Or the additional child tax credit the actc can't be issued before mid february The law requires the irs to hold the entire refund not just a portion associated with eitc or the actc So these ones I get they're trying to say my interpretation being That they're going to take a little bit longer because these are the kind of credits that people are more likely to try to Commit fraud in order to receive because these are the refundable credits So they have to have another level of kind of security check on them So these laws help ensure taxpayers receive the refund They're due by giving the irs time to detect and prevent fraud for taxpayers who are still waiting for confirmation That last year's tax return processed or for a tax year 2021 refund or stimulus payment to process Their patience is appreciated as of november 11th 2022 the irs had 3.7 million Unprocessed individual returns received this year.
