Here we are in QuickBooks Desktop, Get Great Guitars practice file going through the setup process we do every time. Maximize the home page to the gray area in the view drop down. We got the hide icon bar, the open windows list checked off, open windows open on the left. Reports drop down, company and financial looking at the P&L profit and loss change in that range in 010123 to 022823. Let's customize it so I can change the fonts and numbers up to 14. Okay, yes and okay. Once again reports and company and financial, but this time the big balance sheet customizing it changing the range in 010123 to 022823. And then the fonts, the numbers, they are changing up to 14. Okay, yes and okay. Now in a prior presentation, we exported in essence the trial balance and then cut it down to be basically the profit and loss as our seed that we will then use to generate our budget in Excel, which we will then use to populate back into our system, go into the company drop down and then creating our budget from it here so that we can run the comparative reports, for example, in the reports section, the budget report. So the thing that we exported was actually the trial balance here. If I go to the trial balance from 010123 to 022823, customize it, go to the fonts and numbers changing the font up to 14 again. Okay, yes and okay. We then exported this which is in essence the balance sheet on top of the income statement without all the subtotals and then trimmed it down to just the income statement. That's where we left off here on our Excel worksheet. Now to continue working on our Excel worksheet, I'm going to zoom my zoom back down on my settings. I want to bring this back down to 100. And then I'm going to say, okay, so now I'm in Excel at 100 on the zoom. So I'm going to imagine this is the prior two months data. This is two months data. I'm going to imagine that's the only two months I have in the prior two months. And then I imagine that we're going to use that to project 12 months into the future. Now, obviously, if you have 12 months data from the prior period, that might be the best place to start. Take the 12 months, the yearly data, or you can obviously try to print out your data on a month by month basis and try to use that as your starting point. But the easiest thing to do is take your prior year data divided by 12 for each line item for a simple kind of budget layout. So to do that, what I want to do is put my budget over here. So I'm going to make a skinny C column because I want this data to be separate from the budget data table. So I'm going to make this skinny. And then I'm going to put my headers here. Now I want my headers to start. I don't want this as my header, so I want to move everything down one row. I could do that by selecting the entire row, putting my cursor on one, selecting the entire row, right clicking it and insert. It's going to insert an entire row above it. Then I'm going to put my headers, which will just be the months of Jan. I'm going to say Jan and then Feb. And that should be enough for QuickBooks to read the pattern. So I'm going to select those two, put my cursor on the corner here, which is called the fill handle, left click on it and drag it. And it's going to hopefully read the pattern. There's March. I'm going to pull this out until we get to December, December, October, November, December. And then let's center that whole thing. I'll zoom in just a little bit. Let's center that whole thing.  That's what I typically do. So I go to the home tab, font group, and then go and make it black. And then the lettering. I'm going to make white. That's what I'll have for the headers. And so then we can add our numbers. Now the most basic numbering format that we can use. Let's see if I can make this a little bit more skinny. Might make it a little bit easier. The basic easiest thing we could do is take our data and just divide it by, you know, divided by however many months are here, which in this case is two months. So why don't I just say, okay, my starting point is just going to be this number divided by two. And so I'm going to say each month I'm going to assume I'm going to have earnings of 1,130 projected out for 12 months. And I'll copy that down. One way you can copy that down is you can put your cursor on the fill handle. And instead of dragging it down, I could just double click on it. And it should copy the relative actually didn't do it. If I copy it down here, it won't do it because I'm not right next to it. All right. I got to drag it down. Put my cursor in the fill handle and drag it down. So there we have that. And so now we've got the same formula every every cell on down. So that looks good. That's our starting point. Now I'm going to say the same thing will be my starting point for February for the whole 12 months because this represents two months of data. This is breaking it down to a month by month. That's going to be my starting projection number. Now I could do it this way. I could double click on this and say I want to make this absolute by selecting F4 on the keyboard. And then I can copy this to the right. That's one way I could do it. But another way I kind of like to do it is to say I'm going to put my cursor in February and say this equals January number. So the default will be equaling the prior month. The reason that's useful is because if I change something like in April, then it will default that may will default to the prior month instead of defaulting all the way back to what was in the current month. So that's what I'd like to do. Now I'm going to copy this all the way down. So now I've got the same numbers here. So now this always equals the prior month and I'm going to take this whole thing now and copy that all the way across to December. So I'm going to put my cursor Phil handle here and copy that through December, which I can't see. I'll just go too far and then I'll delete it. So here and then I went too far from P. I'm going to put my cursor on P all the way to Y and then right click and delete. So now I've got the same data month by month. That's kind of the starting C. That's the easy budget that you can do as an accountant without if you know nothing about the business or what changes they're going to make. And then of course we would have to get into the detail and say, well, what are you going to do and what do you expect the changes to be going forward? And that's where obviously you would need management decision making processes and projections about what we think is going to happen for those changed decisions. So let's just change a couple of these for practice. Now normally when we're thinking about changes, oftentimes we're thinking about the revenue changes because that's where our focus is going to be because that's the goal of the business. So we're going to try to do things to get revenue to go up, right? And then the cost to goods sold will typically go up in relation to the revenue. And then when we get down to the other expenses, oftentimes the other expenses are fairly straightforward and they'll be kind of like the same going through, right? So it might be a little bit easier, although we have a lot of expenses, oftentimes the expenses are much more similar from month to month. And we're going to focus on specific things like advertising or specific things within expenses are going to change or whatever in order to get the revenue to change. And obviously the revenue changing if we sell inventory will have an impact on cost of goods sold. So let's just do a couple just to practice. Let's pretend that the rental income is going to go up by 5%. We just think it's going to go up by 5%. So if I think about that kind of increase, I could say, okay, well that means that the 1130 times 0.05 would be an increase of 56.5 plus the 1130 would be 1187 about or 6.5. I can get there directly by taking 1130 times 1.05, 105% or 5% plus 100%. And that would then give us our number here. That gives us a nice formula to work with. So if I go back on over here and I say, okay, what I'm going to do is take the prior cell and multiply it times 1.05. So I could say this equals this cell times 1.05. And so that changes everything going forward. And if I assume that I'm going to have that same change every time, I can copy this formula all the way to the right. I'll put my cursor on the fill handle, copy it to the right. I'm going to imagine it goes up by the 5% until at December where at the 1,933. Let's also make a total column over here for the year. So I'm going to say this is to be the total for the year. And let's sum this up equals the sum of January through December. Enter. And now I should be able to put my cursor on that double click on the fill handle. Boom. And that should take that all the way down. Let's make this the same format as this cell. I can do that by going to the home tab, clipboard, paintbrush and paintbrush it. Boom. Okay. So then let's continue that the sales item. Let's imagine that the sales are going to go up by 1.1. So a similar kind of thing. I think there's going to be an increase just because we're going to our name is going to catch on and we're going to start selling more stuff. So I'm going to say this equals the prior month. I'll start it in February times 1.1. It's going to increase by 10% 100% plus 10%. That would give us up to the 32 148. And let's imagine that I'm going to do that all the way all throughout the year. It's going to increase 10% until we get through December. That means at December, we'll be up to the 83 384 there. That would be great. Now the other way you might think something's going to increase, let's say this one. Let's say we think it's going to increase by just a flat amount for whatever reason of $1,000. Right. We think it's just going to increase $1,000 per month. So we're not going to have it increase on a percent of prior month, but increase. We think we can generate another $1,000 every month. So I'm going to say this will equal the prior sale plus $1,000. And if I think that's going to continue, that's another way that we can easily copy that formula across, taking the prior sale just plus $1,000. And so it's going to go up by the thousand until we're at the 15 to 50. That would be that would be good. So the next one we have is going to be cost to good soul. Now cost to good soul represents the cost of the inventory, which usually has a direct relationship to the sale of items that are inventory. So these two lines you would think would be related. So for example, if I take the first line here and I say, okay, the cost of good soul as a percent would be 22,977 divided by the sales line, which represents inventory revenue 29226. That's 78 per 78.62 percent about. So so you would think then going forward that if sales is going up by 1.1, that this would also go up by 1.1. Generally, considering the cost is usually tied to the sales price. So we'll make that assumption, meaning that as the sales go up, we're going to assume the cost is still going to remain at that 78%. So I can do that by I can do that two ways. I can I can take I can take this number times the 78 point whatever, or I can just increase it by the same rate, which is the 1.1. Let's do that second method because that'll be easier to mimic in QuickBooks. So I'm going to say the second one is going to be equal to prior sale times 1.1 100% plus 10% 110% copying that all the way across, copy that all the way across. And it'll increase to December to 65556. Now, if I take my trusty calculator, I would assume then I get that same ratio here in December, which would be the sale, the cost of goods sold 65556 divided by the 83384 gives us that 78.62% about. So you get that same relationship, which is kind of what you would expect. Now, a lot of the other expenses will be somewhat routine. So like the bank service fees, we're going to go OK, $35 $18 a month. You would expect those to be somewhat similar going forward. Number one and number two, that's a fairly small dollar amount. So probably might not be material have a big impact on our budget. So I'll just keep that as is the depreciation note that depreciation is a key component where we might think differently between a cash based method and an accrual based method because depreciation is usually a big accrual kind of thing versus cash. Note that if you're using a book depreciation method that's a straight line depreciation method and doing an accrual budget, then you would think it'd be somewhat the same going forward. If you're doing a double declining balances and stuff and whatnot, then you could probably predict what the depreciation will be based on your schedules. But we'll keep it here at the same on the straight line. If we have the insurance, let's imagine that we're going to do the insurance more on a cash based method here and try to say when we're going to pay the insurance and actually show the insurance. Again, you kind of got to think on your budgets. Am I doing an accrual budget or a cash based budget? But just to give a different idea on the data input, you might say, okay, I'm going to pay insurance, let's say in January, I'm going to pay 1000, negative 1000, and then I'm not going to pay it again. I'm going to delete everything until we get to like September and then I pay 1000. So again, that would be more of a cash based kind of idea or a concept there. But that'll be determined on how you're doing your budgets. But we'll put that in just to switch things up in our data input there. And then let's actually bring it up a bit because I think it was higher for the let's bring it up to like 6000. I'm going to say insurance is 6000 here and then I'll make it 6000 here instead of 1000. So then interest expense, Internet expense. Often that's going to be somewhat similar might go up with like inflation or something like that. We'll keep that the same miscellaneous. Hopefully that's usually pretty small and you know, that's random stuff. So hopefully that's going to be somewhat the same and somewhat in material office supplies could change going forward, especially if we think that there's going to be a good big increase in our revenue. But again, we'll keep it the same for our practice problems and move down to the payroll. Now payroll is going to be a huge relative, you know, relative number, typically if you have employees and the increase of payrolls is often kind of like more sticky. It goes up oftentimes maybe not as an even flow, but as a step ladder. So you might be saying, okay, I think my payroll is going to be the same until I get to like some point in the future when I'm going to reanalyze payroll, like in July, let's say, and then I think it's going to go up by 10% in July just to switch stuff up a bit. So if that was the case, I can move out to July and say I'm going to take the prior payroll times 1.1 out in July. And that's going to increase to 7.682. And then it would be the same if we kept up that new tier all the way through. So with now it's equaling the prior sale through December. Now if we increased the payroll, you would expect the payroll taxes to have a similar increase. We got a similar relationship as we did when we looked at the cost of goods sold and the sales related to cost of goods sold. So I'm going to increase it by the same rate 1.1. So I'm going to say this will equal the prior sale times 1.1. And that should follow forward in the same percentage, meaning if I was to have the same relationship prior, this was the 486 divided by the 6983. And that's the .0695. And then after we've got the 535 divided by the 7682, we should have the same relationship there. So we'll keep rolling. So the next items we have in telephone, we're going to keep that the same. And we're going to say the utilities, we'll keep the utilities the same. The gains, this is something that's unusual for our business. We're not in the business of selling stocks. So this was a one time thing. So I'm going to delete the whole thing. And then the interest expense, this would be dependent upon our finances. And if we're not going to take more financing out, this might actually go down from period to period. So I'm going to imagine it's actually going to decrease. Obviously we might take this directly from like the amortization schedule in practice. But I'm just going to say this is the prior period times .95, 95% of the prior period. Going to put my cursor on that and auto fill that across. So it looks like that. And so that one actually goes down as we go across. And then let's total this up and see where we stand. So I'm going to say this is the total. I'm going to sum up here equals the sum of our baseline numbers. And then I'll sum up here equals the sum of our budget for January. I'm going to copy that across and copied it for me a few ways. I'm going to put my cursor on the fill handle, drag it to the right. So there we have it. I want to put an underline under all of this stuff. Let's put an underline here, home group, font, underline. And then I'll put an underline here too. Let's put an underline there as well. Now I'm going to make a change just to match this to my worksheet. This 6000 that we put in the insurance expense. I'm going to change that to February. I'm going to change this to February for it to match our worksheet here. Okay, so I think that matches out. So now I'm going to say, okay, the second month, that's when we get into that loss because we put this on a cash-based method. So again, you've got to choose whether you're on a cash basis or a cruel. But we'll keep it there for now. We're going to go all the way across. There's our total and our total column, which you can find by summing up the total column. Or you could sum up, let's do a double check, sum up the net incomes per month as kind of a check figure, which is nice to have. So we'll check that out this way. And then I'm going to put some borders around this thing. Let's put some borders around our numbers here just to define it a bit more. So scroll down to here. I like going to the home tab, font group, drop down, put some borders around it. Let's put some borders around this one as well. And so we're going to put some borders around it. And that's what we have thus far. So we did that fairly quickly. I know, and I know it's not an Excel course. But now we have the data that we can use to then populate this into our QuickBooks system. And then the QuickBooks system can help us to generate reports as time passes, comparing what we projected to happen to what actually happens.


The Panthers make the move and signing Teddy Bridgewater to three years over 60 million dollars Money so do you feel like that? This was a beneficial move for the Panthers to move on from Cam Newton and this Teddy Bridgewater and upgrade from Cam Newton So I don't think the oh, I think it is a better move for the Panthers But I do I'm not trying to say this to this credit Cam Newton because I do believe that Cam Newton can ball I feel like I feel like he just his circumstances were just kind of he had the injury and everything and There's a lot of hate on Cam Newton guys like I know there's a lot of people that do not like this man for whatever reason But I you know looks man. He took the Panthers to the Super Bowl. I mean he did that so and Maybe maybe he might not be the same player after the injury. I have faith in him.  They've talked about he has potential He has some flashes here and there biggest one obviously Christian McCaffrey. He's the biggest guy, you know So that's gonna help out a lot. Yeah I don't know that I mean the guy rid of Greg Olson and they got Seth DeValve right the tide come up Seth DeValve I think You know, I don't I don't think Teddy Bridgewater is is the guy that's gonna go forward I mean, I he was good in what leave a little in college He was actually in that thing in that draft class with Johnny Menzel and he was and all of them and he was pretty hot But like Bortles. Yeah. Yeah as far as cam is concerned, I don't know who's gonna sign him But I hope whoever signs him I mean, I was gonna say at this point with the Chargers officially announcing that They're not looking for a veteran to sign The Bears followed that move up by trading for Nick Vols, which we're gonna talk about in just a sec At that point. It's just New England. That's the only opportunity that's open at least for this year coming up I Do you see that happening? I don't see it. I don't I don't think I don't think cam's going to the Patriots I I think it would be a good move for him in terms of learning from bill But I don't think that that's the best move for for him in the long term because again Bill's gonna try to squeeze you out like with the least amount of talent on offense as possible I feel like the Patriots are gonna roll with Jared Siddham.  They might I don't know who knows But I don't I don't see cam. I don't see cam going there. I don't know what we'll have to see Because again, we don't know what's going on with the Redskins and we don't know what's going on with Alex Smith and his injury And everything like that. We just don't know they do have they do have Dwayne Haskins So they probably want to go forward with everything, but I just feel like you know Cam Cam Newton needs to go to a place with with some weapons around them. That's just kind of how I feel


Ocean acidification is one of the most important problems facing the planet. As humans burn fossil fuels in our cars and factories, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, much of that is absorbed into oceans. Oceans have now become 30% more acidic than they were at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. It's not just something that is a problem down the road. It's actually causing problems right now. It's affecting so many different types of plants and animals, from the tropics to the poles. Everything from corals that provide the three dimensional habitat for all those fishes and nudibranchs and shrimp and everything else that live there, to the microscopic plants that provide food for many of the zooplankton around the world. To things like terrapods are very, very important food source for mackerel, for salmon, for a number of different species of fishes. And so there are knock-on effects to their predators. It's going to affect enough species negatively that they're going to be direct and indirect very serious consequences to pretty much every type of ocean ecosystem on the planet. That's a harbinger of things to come. And it's one reason that people have called ocean acidification osteoporosis of the sea. For thousands and thousands of years, oceans have been so critically important to people. Oceans were their grocery stores, they were their pharmacies, their playgrounds, their highways. They have been so fundamental to life on this planet that we've just come to take them for granted. And because they're so vast, we think they're infinitely bountiful, infinitely resilient. There are so many pressures on oceans now. Climate change, ocean acidification, overfishing, nutrient pollution. We're seeing more polluted beaches that are closed where people can't swim. We're seeing coral reefs that are bleached. We're seeing shellfish that are not able to reproduce. We're seeing massively overfished areas. In the 40-plus years I've been studying oceans, I've seen some really bad things. I've seen oceans become so degraded that it made me cry underwater through my mask. It was so depressing. But it doesn't have to be that way. I've also seen places come back to life because people cared, because they were willing to do something. They were willing to be creative, to engage others, and to be problem solvers, not just to walk away. That's what we need more of.


I'm Aleem Shavaz and my organization is Crescent Sports Media and today we will be talking about Muslim, Athletes, Activism and Islam. To my right I have Imam Raqib Abjubar. He is the resident Imam of Sacramento Islamic Resource Center. We'd like to welcome you and we will be talking about Muslim, Athletes and Activism. Imam, could you please tell us about the Islamic, Sacramento Islamic Resource Center? Yeah, no problem. Peace be upon you. Thank you for inviting me to this program. The Sacramento Islamic Resource Center was an idea that came about from me being a chaplain, certified chaplain in the California Department of Corrections. That's what originally brought me here to California upon graduating from college and doing my residency in chaplaincy. We decided to broaden our scope a little bit. I've been doing chaplaincy for 30 years so the bar has risen for chaplains to get into certain institutions as far as colleges, as far as prison systems, et cetera, et cetera. So we did our residency after graduating from our residency, California Department of Corrections contacted us, offered us employment. We moved out here but in my development within the system and finding out the California system getting re-involved into the institutionalism of conservation, I found that we could do more for individuals coming out of the prison than we can in. Quite naturally you have to have someone in, Muslim chaplain in to be able to propagate the dean and also teach the dean, but at the same time these young men and women need resources when they come out. They need some type of connection to get back into the community. So the Islamic Resource, the Sacramento Islamic Resource Center came up from an idea because we have masjids. We don't need any more masjids. We need resources that can develop into educational institutions. So the Resource Center was developed to bring our people into a situation where we can help them get back into society with either jobs, correcting the miseducation of the Islamic institutional Islamic education that they had, also doing counseling as far as drug abuse, substance abuse, grief counseling, marital counseling, premarital counseling, and needs to type some of the resources that we have that we are developing. We are also politically trying to get involved with city organizations as far as establishing ESL as a second language for the immigrant Muslims that come, immigrant and Muslims and non-Muslims in the center as well as establishing a monthly clinic within the office building to be able to allow people to have a simple checkup, blood test, blood pressure test, diabetes test, et cetera, et cetera. These little simple things are sometimes overlooked because some people either do not have the resources or the insurance to do so, or they just bypass, haphazardly bypass those types of things. So these are the types of things that the Resource Center wanted to do. In the Resource Center, we do have our moussella within the building to establish our Islamic rights, our prayer services. We hold Arabic classes for beginnings and for those who are advanced, we have an Islamic study class for those new converts or reverts, whatever words you want to use, that's coming into Islam as well as a refresher course and other things that we have to do Islamically but the resource part of the center is the driving thrust because during the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the masjid per se or the mosques per se was the center of society and we've gotten away from that particular thinking. So this also was a brain thrust as far as why we wanted to name it Resource Center. We want to bring the people back to what a masjid actually is supposed to do within the society or within the locale. Well, it sounds very appropriate during these times. In that Resource Center, would you also briefly, would you also have workforce development for maybe the youth, CTE, career technical education and your background is in, I believe you did get a degree in Bachelor of Science in Electronics, is that? Yes, I have a Bachelor in Electronics, B.S. in B.S., Bachelor of Science in Islamic Studies as well as Electronics and then I also have my master's in Chaplaincy and that's an excellent question. Now the thing about that question is, I'm almost going to answer it with a question, is how people, especially our people, see the Imam within a center. The Imam is supposed to do everything, right? So when you have a Resource Center, that means that you have to have or help develop or have an atmosphere with people that have those particular skills can come all for their skills in order to be able to produce that. So we will hopefully, inshallah, be able to do that when the right person comes along to be able to put that in place. So it'll be open to anyone that have that type of skill and that type of expertise as well as education to be able to put that in place. Okay, we're calling people to Sacramento, Islamic Resource Center and your skills and your talent will be well received. Yes. Now let's get to the crux of what the program is about. The Muslim athlete and activism of the Muslim athletes in America and worldwide. I think that when you look at the Muslim influence on, I guess, sports, the sports world in today's time is more of an entertainment. It is not structured from my personal opinion. It is not structured in the sense of activism in the sense that our athletes are politically astute enough to organize a coalition amongst themselves. Everyone in society that believe in a cause organize themselves into an organization or into a coalition, whereas when certain subject matters that are pertinent to them, they come out as one voice and they speak either for or against whatever is going on in society, whether it's socialism, whether it's a social aspect of society or political aspect of society or injustice of society or the justice of society doesn't always have to be negative. It can be something that's positive. So what we have within the Muslim athlete today maybe compared to 30, 40 years ago when Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown and Karim Abdul-Jabbar, when those individuals stood behind Muhammad Ali when he refused the draft, there was a voice, there was athletes. So you saw all of your, if you looked at them as being entertainers, they took you out of that light and presented themselves as an educated political force to say, no, this is an injustice being done to this man. And this is what we are saying and we are going to stand up behind them. Today, there's more individualism. Like when Colin Kaepernick made his stance, you had individuals with him at that particular time, but as the heat came on him, everybody dissipated. You know, they say if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, right? So when the kitchen got hot, people ran. The brother made his stance, whether I agree with totally what he did or what he's done afterwards is not the issue. The fact that what he was trying to bring attention to was justice, was injustice, and it was justified for him to do so. But people kind of, you know, left the man hanging. Okay, very good comparison. And also with Muhammad Ali, there was a tremendous, tremendous cause of why he did what he did. He knew why he did it. And he was willing, long term, to suffer the consequence of his action. Is that the same thing that you're seeing today or is it more, I'm making a statement and I hope this doesn't affect my economics? A law controls your economics, Doc. I think that, no, you don't see that today because you have to also remember two things that was happening in that particular time. During the late 60s, early 70s, African Americans as a people were still being oppressed in this society socially and politically. You know, we were still looked at less as a human being. So there was an urgency to bring upon justice as well as a recognition of manhood, well, starting with humanhood, manhood, economic situations. How are you going to take control of all of that over individual or group of individuals? Whereas today's athlete is making millions upon millions of dollars. You follow what I'm saying? So there's no urgency within society. The only urgency that comes up in society today is when an African American youth or sister, brother or sister is getting shot down in the street or getting beat up in the street by police forces or what have you. But society in this Me Too movement has made people forget that injustices or social development, or I shouldn't say forget, but numb them down to the development of the human being within society. Because everything has come together. So as everything has come together, why should you argue? Why should you fight? Why should there be urgency?  I believe in, not sure, I believe in 1991 he made a statement by going to the White House in what he called a daishiki and a kufi and basically handed George Bush a letter that was written by him, and I would say very well written, and he basically was telling about the condition of the African American and respectfully was asking President Bush to put this on top of the agenda. What do you think about his method of activism and how much courage it took to do that? At that particular time it took a lot of courage, but at that particular time also the atmosphere in society was reafrocentrism. So he felt not to discredit anything that the brother did at that particular time because that was the time that he was living in, but at the same time it was a few years after the Malcolm X or just before the Malcolm X movie came out with Denzel Washington. So this reaffirmation of afrocentrism came out, that was the plight of the society. We're just coming out of crack or what crack was really heavy in our society. So it fit the time, but you're saying 1991 is 2020. So now brothers like that. So where do we, where, it goes back to the point earlier, where is the coalition that developed from that? There's no coalition, so there's no consistency, there's always a break. You know, there's no consistency. So why should anybody in power take you serious when you break upon yourself? Right. Well ma'am, it's a very, very interesting subject and this is part one of a series that we're going to be doing and I would just like to thank you for your very insightful knowledge about the Quran and also about sports, your expertise in all these areas have made you a tremendous guest and I'd like to thank the audience and we will be having more shows concerning Islamic jurisprudence, Islamic health and general information about Islamic studies as it relates to our community. And I'd like to thank Davis Media Assets for giving us this platform and thank you very much and please watch again.


in held to get our votes and at that meeting was definitely stressed and you said parking was 100% handled stormwater you said you had it dialed that we were going to be all set up for stormwater and I feel a little bit like we put our trust in you and I feel like you've kind of played on that good nature of us you said you had all these things figured out and now here we are fighting amongst ourselves and moving forward the kids at central school 100% need to be addressed I would like for everybody to please do the research on what outside environment how it impacts the learning of the children inside speaking to Tim I know that the children have not been even a thought in your head in this process how it could impact them in 2017 central schools testing scores they went from number 9 in the state to number 28 in one year so to say this isn't impacting them I think you're kidding yourself so I just ask moving forward you know we're trying to build a library for these children who can't read your books just saying we've got third graders reading at a barely at a first grade level you know you suggested they read Harry Potter well that was offensive for these kids who would love to but who can't you'll still have that quality then please I would love to get into your head a little that's the unfortunate thing about social media because I think we're both on the same page it just wasn't going there so in moving forward I think we need to cut out the we need to be transparent with each other we need to be more clear on how we word our things and you know my daughter's school is dropping and I'm paying out of pocket for tutoring and I think that is unacceptable for a community who likes to brag and boast at having the very top schools in the state so let's all work together go team okay so I really appreciate it sorry my name is Fritz Burkart and and I would I've got kids at Rick Markott Central School and I really appreciated that at the beginning of this meeting we started with a discussion of trust and cooperation and particularly David Kaufman I really appreciate that you're looking for what are the potential solutions that we can do and that's one of the things which I hear out of your mouth quite a bit in a previous meeting you had said and I'm paraphrasing this point pushing back the ground baking back a few months or so on a hundred year building doesn't matter a bit we darn well got to get it right and Candice I was with you at that meeting in October and Helen Kevin Jennifer you came and you presented to parents at Rick Markott Central School to explain the virtues of the project to the parents and the community and in that presentation you explained that the primary benefits to the school were the renting of the city hall for the additional office space and that the city would take care of the storm water for both the school and the city and in fact what was said was that the city was paying for the storm water to be piped to if I'm not mistaken to behind Pier 1 which we were told that the city would build it and pay for it now what we're hearing tonight is it's here that Pier 1 is now off the table because it's full well ours is still going there right no I understand that but if I'm not mistaken it's full in terms of it can take the city storm water but you're saying that it's not sufficient to take the schools it's not permitted to take the schools it's not permitted so then this is really confusing for me why did you tell us that in that meeting that I don't know that I did we knew at the time where the storm water was going for the city's building correct but you said that you were doing this for the school we are taking care of the school storm water I'm not going to argue about what was said 8 months ago well the point is is that this is sort of how you're also selling it to the community is that this is what you were saying this was dialed we've got it all set we're taking care of it so it's done and there's not additional land being taken and so I don't know if we ever said there was additional that was never at this point well sorry the point 4 acres I'm sorry I'm sorry about that I miss speaking about the point 4 acres but then so that's one thing which I'm confused about because in terms of how it was sold at least to the parents at Marca is that you were taking care of our storm water that's what we heard and we heard that you were piping it to a different location and additional land was not needed as we heard like this is taking care of it and so it's a bit of a surprise to hear that hey there's more land which needs to be used and the children's soccer field and now one of the other things which I'm confused about from this evening is that what I'm hearing is the city is willing to pay for which part of the school storm water because I've heard the word it used and I'm not sure what the city's paying for and what the school board's paying for school board if you want me to answer what the thought is the school district and the city are paying for the design of the parking lot and the school's storm water treatment and retention the city under the MOU clear in the MOU pays to build that infrastructure school district storm water for the project and the parking lot for the project and the parking lot for the project and the parking lot so could the school district pick another piece of land pipe it there and pay for it you'd pay for it would we buy the land if that needs to be so if that's one could the school district pick another piece of land pipe it there so they're not losing field space so we're not losing things for the recreation department we're not losing baseball field soccer fields where the kids and where the programs that are run here if there were a viable alternative offsite and the regulations allowed it I think we would consider that if that's what the school district wanted we'd take a hard look at that that's your point so the point is what David is saying this is an issue if it's just money it feels like that's a solution and it sounds like perhaps what it is is that perhaps purchasing additional land where it's possible to pipe it would be a potential solution how much did the land this project thing built on how much of the land from South Burlington realty cost per acre that's roughly a million all land so roughly a million an acre sure no I understand what I'm curious about because if we're talking about then also the impact on the school like this is going for a million an acre the additional cost that we're looking at at .4 acres is an additional $400,000 which is affecting the schools which is a significant sum that's roughly the market rate and so it seems that another possibility rather than saying let's use up this field let's go and let's figure out if we can buy something which is abutting this property and with that then perhaps the city will pay for it and manage it and perhaps something of that could help and be a potential solution now I understand that a lot of people want to build on that but it sounds like that's what it is an option my concern is it's going to keep raising the price of this project up and up and I do care about the pockets this money's coming out of and that's why I'd say we could also scale back the project and not require as much parking no I appreciate that I I guess the important thing and I appreciate you looking at this I would try to make sure that in the future when we're out talking to the public to make sure that we're accurate and we're telling people what's actually happening so that when people are voting that they're actually voting on what they think they're voting on rather than it being something else and then people having unpleasant surprises afterwards and feeling that that's a form of buyer's remorse okay thank you for your attention I think that's very good advice and it certainly will be something the school board will have to deal with too when you get to whatever you're building if it's not absolutely set you won't know all the court costs so I think we have to be careful with using the term bait and switch I think when we did present to the public the best of our knowledge we did not have the schematics of the building because we didn't have a price tag that the voters had agreed to and all the things that you try to put in you like building a house oh yeah I want this house to look like this and I want it to have this and then you go to the get the design and then you go to a builder well that kind of roof costs twice what you budgeted so you have to change or you can't do that many square feet so that's the reality for any community in my opinion who goes out to design something to build and has to go and the process is you go to the voters to find out what the budget is and this is your best shot at what it's going to deliver and then you start in with the real design elements with the builders and the architects and you find out that you can't build the underground garage as deep as you want where you have ledge and you didn't know that I mean O'Brien has found that on hillside at O'Brien they did not estimate how much ledge they would be blowing up to build all those houses so I think it's good advice well taken but I think you have to be careful when you characterize the people's best intention as you go out and talk about your school options that you have to be careful I'd like to make a point that because you know throughout the conversation there have been occasional indications of folks thinking that everybody hasn't been as transparent as they should and I have a significant amount of faith in our counselors and our school board members that this is a complicated project and a lot of what we talk about in the city has complications to it and that everybody is as transparent as they can possibly be based on their knowledge at the time and that as Helen just said sometimes things change and that I don't think Kevin and work with Kevin often on for years and I don't think he or David or anybody else would intentionally misdirect anybody or misinform anybody it's just that it's hard to cover every single base every single time you speak and that I have confidence that everybody is doing the best they can and we just re-up that as we go forward and I just think that needs to be clear well thank you very much it's difficult to some of the conversations where I think we made some progress and we'll continue to move forward and see where we can we can get to so thank you


But a text popped up on your phone from a girl that I knew you had just become friends with and I knew there was some sort of interest in her because if we all were hanging out you really gravitated towards her but I was at Jasper just being insecure like just stop. And then I saw the text pop up so I knew her name and she, should I say what the text said? Yeah. Okay, it's it. Yep. It is just me sitting here. I know you used to see Shan here but I decided to be something crazy. A couple weeks ago, I'm sure you guys saw Shan did a video where she talked to her ex. And then you guys were in the comment section saying Jared should do this with his ex. And I thought to myself, it's probably not a good idea.

Yeah, I feel like I remember better than you remember. So I kind of want to hear your version of it because I know probably down to every detail. Maybe I shouldn't say that. That might be embarrassing. Oh, you know what? I remember it wasn't at the dance party. I don't even know why that dance studio was having a party and you were there and I'm like, this is not a dancer. I want to know him. You were really like in your own world not giving me any like attention. I was like, now I'm more intrigued. I want to know this person. And yeah, I think we maybe talked one night at that party and then a week later, I was pretty brave. Probably Liquid Courage found you on Twitter and just followed you. And then I was like, if you messages me, like that's good, but I'm not going to reach out. I already followed him.  I remember when at that party, like every time you walk past, I just remember just like following like who is this person. I want to know who this person is. And then when you had followed me on Twitter, I already knew it was game from then. Like I was like, oh, she found me on Twitter. Like this is just as much as a DM. So I'm going to go ahead and hop into DMs. But it's so funny that you say the first night that we met that you were like following me because that's news to me. Because in my mind, this guy doesn't even notice me. He doesn't even remember meeting me five minutes ago. So it's funny that you say that. No, the thing is like, no, I was going to say that's like part of my my thing. Like I'll be like, all right, I'll pee and I'll just be like, let me just make sure she's over about the drinks. All right, let me go over there. Let me go get a drink real quick and just kind of brush by and brush over here. So yeah, that was low key up for next. So yes, Jasmine and I, we dated for about three years. Was it perfect? No. Do we have our issues? Yes. However, when I think back to it, I think to myself and I remember it very positively. And I remember I was in a time in my life where I was heavily involved in the church. And she really inspired me to think for myself. She really led me on that path to really become the person that I am today.  But I remember Shane saying this. I remember things very positively and I'm acutely aware that whenever you remember things very positively, it's because you were probably the negative person. And then I had to start thinking to myself, was it positive for her? And that's where the question mark hit. When do you think the relationship started to take a turn for the worse? I don't know if I have a specific moment. I do. Oh my, oh wait, I do, I do, I do, I do. But it's me, but it's me, it's me. I do actually. Now that I think of it, I remember being doing a TV show where I couldn't, I had to be away. And you were never a lovey-dovey type.  Which is still an issue in my, my current. That was such an issue for me because I'm so like. So I remember you texting me one night like late and you were just being so lovey-dovey.  Like just saying all these things and just, and I'm like, this is so interesting. Like he must be drinking.  And you're like, nothing, I was just not calling. They're just, those were real feelings. Like that's just how I felt. And then we're hanging out and your apartment. And I remember us scrolling through, is this the same memory you have? Yep. Oh my God. I remember us scrolling through your Instagram and I'm just like, when I look back on like Jasmine, how did you not like get it right away? But a text popped up on your phone from a girl that I knew you had just become friends with. And I knew there was some sort of interest in her because if we all were hanging out, you really gravitated towards her. But I was like, Jasmine, you're just being insecure. Like just stop. And then I saw the text pop up. So I knew her name and she, should I say what the text said? Yeah. Okay.   And I was like, and I had read it and you just kind of, I don't know what you did, but you just like froze. And I just kept scrolling because in my mind the text was ha ha ha.  I thought she was texting you about like this guy.  So I was just like, oh whatever.  Do you see how good of a person you are? Like in the heat of the battle, you think of the good in me. Like I almost don't even really, I don't know if I'm ready to hear that real story. It was just so indeniable. But I was like, I stopped because I was like, wait, jazz, be smarter than that. Yeah. And I looked at you and you were like frozen. You're like, she just saw that.    You're drinking.  This story is not hot enough. And yeah, I remember being like, I need to go to the bathroom.   And I just looked at myself in the mirror like you got this. I walked back out to you and I'm like, take me home. Just take me home. And you were so upset. You were just crushed. And I think because you were so crushed that I was like, I'll never do that again.  But that's not even how it works in guys. I know, but it's my first relationship, you know? And you're just, you're so in that mindset. Or like when you're younger and you think like, okay, if we break up, like I'm never going to find someone as good as him. Like I, like this is supposed to be my person. So I'm just going to see the best in them. And just so in denial. I had became friends with you at the same time that I had became friends with. And. And so we were. No, that's not. No. Or did I get become friends with them after you came friends with them after we were well into our, into our situation. Yeah. Long story. Long story. Yeah. Long story short. It was like I had, you guys were my two friend groups that I would hang out with. And, um, I mean, there's no question. Like he always had like a thing like seductive, but it, but it wasn't like a relationship thing. It was, there was just like a few, like a, um, a very charged sexual energy between you and I was not upfront. I was not able. I didn't have the words to be able to, to tell you that maybe, um, you know, this relationship style was not that best for me or I thought this was the only relationship style. I thought like monogamy.  Um, I didn't know that there was, there was a spectrum of things. Um, and so yeah, I feel so bad, um, about the way that I handled the relationship and treated you. I remember one time it was on New Year's Eve and we were at, I don't know if you remember this, we were at a, um, we were at like a New Year's Eve party and there was a girl in like a red dress that like, I don't know. To be honest, I never, I never even noticed her. And then you were like, she keeps looking at you. And then from that night, from that moment on, like we, me and her just could not stop flirting. And then like you would be like, what, what is wrong with you? But, but it was like not even like, I didn't even notice it at first, but that's the thing. You loved it.  Why not enough? Why does he have to look so many other places? Like, so that's where my thinking was going. But I don't remember that story. Cause I felt like there was a lot like that. But I don't remember that. Yeah. There was a whole, there was probably so many, there was probably so many situations. But I remember that, that, that very vividly, like, I, cause you know what it was? It was the first moment that I was like, Oh, you do this and you're not even aware.  You're the one who's going. So that was like the first moment where I was like, Oh, maybe this is what, this is the problem. There were so many like situations in our relationship where I just really never got any answers because I also did want to hear the answers. Yeah. So, this is so weird for me to ask this. And I'm comfortable a little bit, but before we broke up, I do remember when you and Shannon had met. Yes. And we were in a relationship for probably another six months or so. Yeah. Yep. And of course I knew because Jared, I did so many cringy things in our relationship when I think back, I just can't even believe that person that I was. So funny. So of course I knew when you followed a new girl and you followed her that you guys had met and there was some sort of thing and I had in the back of my mind, like, okay, something sneaky is going on, but I'm just not going to think about it. And then when we broke up a few months later, I, or maybe I don't know how long later, but you guys ended up getting together. Maybe not like in a serious sense. And so just from then on until this point now in my life, I've just always had it in the back of my mind, but there was something maybe before, before we broke up between. Yeah. Like something maybe like a some situation between you guys just because I had felt that before. And then when we broke up and you got together, I said, but I totally speculated because you just followed each other on Instagram and it was not even, but in my head, liking pictures met. Oh my God. He wants this. Yeah. Yeah. So believe it or not, there was nothing between us for a year. And so we met, followed each other on Instagram and we actually didn't hook up or do anything like, like, or even talk sexually until a year after we met. So we had, I actually was dealing with like a couple other women before I even started dealing with Shan. I thought you were going to say in our relationship, I was like, wait, what? No, no, no, no. Like you and I broke up. Yeah. And then I went on like a rampage. Oh, actually.  I remember when we broke up, you started dating this blonde guy with long hair. Not when we broke up Jared. That was like a year and a half after we broke up. Like it was so long ago. Really? I mean so long after. Yes. I was single for a good, for sure a year. Were you jealous? Was I jealous? I mean, he had long hair. Why do you think I got hair now? I'm just kidding. No, but, but yeah, I just remember. Yeah. I remember being like, I remember being like, oh, oh, okay. All right. Beach boy. All right. All right. No, I was happy for you. I was really happy for you. First and foremost, I just want to say if you are triggered by this because you were in a relationship where the person wasn't completely honest and you caught them cheating or you caught them messing around or you may have seen them doing something that you didn't approve of. It's not cool. I think everybody deserves honesty. I think everybody deserves straight upness. But I was in a place where I was trying to love somebody before I understood myself. And that is a breeding ground for pain. And that is a breeding ground for mistakes. So we have to examine this. And if you look at the relationship like a four-legged stool, you have to have four parts to hold the relationship up. So we were attracted to each other. So we had that. We had the same lifestyle. We had that. But we didn't have the same long-term goals and we didn't have the same value system. She looked at the relationship long-term, forever marriage. This is my person type thing. And I was more in survival mode. I was 21. I was more of just kind of letting life happen to me. We didn't have the same value system on the relationship dynamic. But we also didn't have the same value system on privacy and individuality. And so when you're young, you're only focusing on the two legs that you do have. And a relationship will never be stable with only two legs. You need four or you need at least three. And we didn't have that. And so I think that what ended up happening is she stayed in it too long and I tried to fit in it too long. And that resulted in us making very, very bad decisions. I knew the relationship was over, but we stayed in it. And I remember like just being feeling, I don't, I don't, trapped is the worst word to use, but that's like a claustrophobic of like, I don't know what to do in this situation and I'm going to continue to hurt her. And I remember Stefan being like, do you even like her? Every time she's over, you're just quiet. The arguments and like the fights that we would get into would bring a side out of me that I haven't really seen.  I was living in Orange County at the time, so I would always come over to your house and then my dance life was in LA. So I was just kind of always there and I should have given you, I guess, more space because you did say one time do you have to always be here? And I remember feeling like a knife just went to my gut because I was going to see Sirius. And it's so interesting because you and I haven't, since we've broken up, actually discussed, sorry my cat keeps the camera. We haven't actually discussed any of our relationship. We haven't even like really met up. I haven't even ran into you in all of the years we've been broken up, which is crazy. We live in the same city. It's so weird. It's so weird. Before I ran into you. I know. That was so weird. I got that text and I was like, I loved it. We talked for like so long. And it's just funny because I feel like I already knew her just from like seeing folks and stuff. But so we're blind. Yeah, like I guess kind of what you said the four months before we actually made it official. I agree. And I remember you breaking up with me probably twice a week. You would break up with me. And then an hour later be like, so what's up? What are you doing? And I'm just like, and I would just always go back. So I remember this like constant breaking up. And then I'm, each breakup, each time just getting more and more numb. And you and I, we fought like so much. We were like, don't you remember us? Just we were always at war, I feel. Yeah. Like we forgot we were playing on the same team. Yeah. We were just constantly fighting.  We're on the phone and we got into like this big fight. And I hang up the phone and I had this like thought I'm like, what am I doing? But I remember for like a good three months, you still hitting me up to get back together. Really? Yeah. I remember when I went to Coachella and I, I remember like not really responding to you and you've been like, so it's just really over. You really don't really like, you don't like me anymore. Like you saying things like that. Oh, shoot. Damn. It's so funny. I must have blocked all of that out of memory because it's so funny because of my, the relationship I was in before you was such a bad breakup. Like, we didn't have a bad breakup at all. It was just a long. It was a, yeah, I could see that it could be, I could see that it must, it was long because we had a lot of the same friends. We were, you know, in the same circle at some point. So I could see why it would feel very long. But I, when I think back to when we broke up, it's, it's weird. I remember it being like very smooth. The moral of the story is I do feel really, I feel a lot of guilt and a lot of like, I don't know. I just, I think I looked back at that time and I made a lot of boy decisions and they, they really probably affected you as well as it did to me.  So, I hope that, I hope that you don't internalize anything that I have may have done as a personal thing and that there was anything wrong with you because that's not the truth. I, yeah, thank you for that and I have complete, I'm thankful for our relationship. You know, I learned so much about myself and relationships and like, I can't speak for you but for me, I never had a good example of what love should be. So, like, I was trying to figure that out with you and I learned so much. But speaking of happiness, congratulations. Honestly on your baby, you guys are gonna have the most beautiful baby. Oh, well, I'm so excited. I'm so excited for you. I just want to thank you for taking this time. I was terrified. I don't even know why people would want to do this but it actually is very helpful and I don't know, I feel like, I feel like that we got that closure that we never really were able to get. Yeah, thank you for having me. I mean, it's not every day your ex-boyfriend that you broke up with like five years ago hits you up to talk about the relationship and then put it on the internet but I am really, you know, I was really nervous about it and but I feel like I do have some clarity and peace of mind, not that I didn't and not that I held any anger like I've forgiven this church and I've also played a huge part in why our relationship didn't work out but yeah, I'm really happy that you reached out and thanks. Shout out to you Jasmine. Thank you for doing this. I know this was heck of weird because it was heck of weird for me and if you guys want to know more about her go follow her. Her link is going to be in the bio. She's amazing. She dances for Katy Perry.  You guys got to check her out. She's one of the most amazing dancers. Honestly, I had a lot of mixed emotions about putting this video out but it's about healing holistically past, present and future and I learned a lot about myself through this process and if you're out there trying to learn about yourself then maybe this might be a good idea for you so if you haven't done so you should go over there and take Shan's quiz at thegameofdesire.com and see this would be a good idea for you. I thought it was good. It's scary and it's hard but at the end of the day what good is going to come out of anything that's not scary and not hard and hopefully you weren't as bad as I was so you might actually end up on the other end so good luck.
