Income tax 2022-2023, business expenses, car and truck expenses. Let's do some wealth preservation with some tax preparation. Most of this information comes from the Tax Guide for Small Business for Individuals Who Use Schedule C, Publication 334, Tax Year 2022. You can find on the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. Looking at the income tax formula, we're focused on line one, that being income. Remember, in the first half of the income tax formula is in essence an income statement, but just to outline the scaffolding, other forms and schedules flowing into it, one being the Schedule C, in essence an income statement in and of itself, it having business income minus business expenses. The business net income rolling into line one of the income tax formula here, that being income. First page of the form 1040, noting that the Schedule C rolls into the Schedule 1, which would roll into page one of form 1040, line number eight. Schedule C, profit or loss from business, noting it is an income statement in it.

This time focused on the car and truck expenses. One which often is another wrinkle, another area of difficulty for multiple different reasons. One is going to be because you might have cars and trucks that are personal versus a business. You might be using some personal and some business. We need to break out from business and personal as we have seen in a prior presentation. That's the general concept we need in order to be deducting because it needs to be ordinary and necessary for business to be deducting on the Schedule C. We also have different methods for tracking the use of an automobile. We can track the actual expenses in which case we have to have the added burden of putting on the books as an asset and depreciating it, having limitations possibly on the type of depreciation methods for automobiles and whatnot and then track all of the expenses related to the automobile trying to break out between business and personal and or we might have a more of a simplified method which would be a mileage type of method which would be easier because normally we would track just simply the miles in that case and then there's a question of well which method would result in more of a deduction which is more of a complicated question than you might think because we could think about that question as of the deduction for this year versus the deduction over the life of the automobile used in the business because then that leads to the question of if I choose one method or the other am I locked into choosing one method or the other or are there instances where I can change methods we know that the general rule for accounting methods is that the IRS likes you to stick to a method once you have that so you might have restrictions then to go back and forth between methods for tracking the car and truck expenses okay that said if you use your car and truck in your business you may be able to deduct the costs of operating and maintaining your vehicle because it is a business expense you would think you may also be able to deduct other costs of local transportation and traveling away from home overnight on business so there becomes this kind of issue in terms of what is constituting traveling and they have this overnight type of thing there to help us with that categorization that you might dive into in a little bit more detail in future presentations so local transportation expenses include the ordinary legume and necessary costs of all the following ordinary and necessary being those key terms for a business expense in general so getting from one workplace to another in the course of your business or profession when you are traveling within the city or general area that is your tax home so it is not transportation away from your general vicinity you are moving around your general vicinity but notice you are going from one workplace to another not from your home to your primary workplace which might be categorized as commuting so tax home is defined later so visiting a client's customers so if you are visiting your customers then you would think that would be ordinary and necessary going to a business meeting away from your regular workplace and then getting from your home to a temporary workplace when you have one or more regular places of work so notice all of these kind of revolve around non-commuting miles commuting being going from home to your normal workplace and the idea would be that normal people don't get commuting deductions like if you have a W2 job so that would be like they are trying to say commuting may not be part of the ordinary and necessary and all these other stuff then would be so these temporary workplaces can be either within the area of your tax home or outside that area so now we have got these definitions that come into place what is my home and what is my workplace so that I can determine if I am doing a commuting situation or a non-commuting situation and if I am in the general facility of my workplace or if I am outside of it doing travel possibly okay so local business transportation does not include expenses you have while traveling away from home overnight so those expenses are deductible as travel expenses and are discussed later under travel and meals so that's kind of the definition you are overnight traveling so still may be deductible but most likely are if they are for business but they are going to be under travel and meals where you have slightly different kind of rules and what not with regards to them then here so however if you use your car while traveling away from home overnight use the rules in this section to figure your car expense deduction so we are going to use the methods here which we will talk about shortly to figure the car expense deductions for the travel too so generally your tax home is your regular place of business regardless of whether you maintain your family home it includes the entire city or general area in which your business or work is located so let me jump to this traveling thing one more time obviously if you are traveling away from the general facility your general area then your travel expenses might not be your car you know you have travel of the air and what not taxing what not but if you are using your car while traveling away from home overnight so use the rules in this section to figure your car expense deduction ok example you operate a printing press out of a rented office space you use your van to deliver completed jobs to your customers so you can deduct the cost of round trip transportation on between your customers and your print shop so you are at your shop that is where your work is you are going to your customers driving to the customers of course I think it would be a deductible transportation thing driving your car over there so caution you cannot deduct the cost of driving your car or truck between your home and your main regular workplace this is where it becomes messy because that is the commuting miles so when you are trying to figure out the actual costs it becomes difficult to do that because now if you are filling up your tank for example then it is kind of difficult to say well I am filling up my tank but I am not going to count the costs that were related to the commuting or my personal travel versus my business travel you see where that can get messy it can get a little bit easier to do that if you have a mileage kind of method because then you can try to determine the mileage that you used for the commute versus the mileage that you used for the business so these costs are personal it is personal commuting expenses which aren't deductible office in the home so your workplace can be your home if you have an office in your home that qualifies as your principal place of business so now we have got this idea of a principal place of business as a sole proprietorship well what if that is my home because my home is the office so for more information you can see business use of your home later to determine if the home is an office so example so you are a graphic designer you operate your business out of your home your home qualifies as your principal place of business you occasionally have to drive to your clients to deliver your completed work you can deduct the cost of the round-trip transportation between your home and your clients so now you are driving from your home to somewhere else which you might think would be a commuting thing personal versus a business expense but it is not because now your home is your principal place of business so if you are driving to your client from your home you would think that that would be a business deduction because your home is your office methods of deducting car and truck expenses so for local transportation or overnight travel by car or truck you can generally use one of the following methods to figure your expenses you got the standard mileage rate and then we have got the actual expenses so you can try to track the actual expenses as we saw there are some complications to try to parse out the business versus the personal with regards to trying to track your gas and all that kind of stuff versus the standard mileage rate which of course would be a little bit easier but you still need to track your mileage and then of course there is a question of which of these two would be most beneficial not just in the first year but in years going forward as hopefully the business continues and you use your automobile within it so standard mileage rate so you may be able to use the standard mileage rate to figure the deducting costs of operating your car, van, pickup or panel truck for business purposes the business standard mileage rate for January 1st, 2022 to June 30th, 2022 is 85.5 cents per mile the business standard mileage rate from July 1st, 2022 to December 31st, 2022 is 62.5 cents per mile so it is half the year and half the year that is a little bit messy to calculate but not too bad noting and remembering that these rates are different when you think about a standard mileage rate for the business use than other things you might use a standard mileage rate because they are different parts of the code for example medical mileage rate for driving your car for medical purposes on the Schedule A deduction or charitable contributions may have similar kind of concepts of a mileage rate amount because sometimes those other ones aren't keeping up with inflation to the same degree caution if you choose to use the standard mileage rate for a year you cannot deduct your actual expenses for that year except for business related parking fees and tolls so in other words if you are using the mileage rate you can't also deduct for example the gas you may be able to still deduct the parking fees and tolls but you are quite limited you can't do both otherwise you would be double dipping if you deducted like gas and the mileage rate so choosing the standard mileage rate if you want to use the standard mileage rate for a car or truck you own you must choose to use it and the first year the car is available for use in your business here we come with the restrictions in terms of the IRS wanting some consistency in the methods being used in later years you can choose to use either standard mileage or rate or actual expenses so no one reason for that might be like they are basically saying once again if you want to use the standard mileage rate for a car or truck you own you must choose it and the first year the car is available for use in your business and so that means you can't use the direct write off method and then switch to the mileage method after that first year of business and one reason that might be is because you can imagine in these situations where they have these accelerated depreciation methods which may be limited for an automobile but like a 179 deduction you're already using a double declining balance for depreciation of the car which is a front loaded depreciation more depreciation at the beginning than the end of the life and special depreciation methods you can imagine people would want to then in the first year of operations take that accelerated depreciation and then switch over to the mileage method which might be higher after the depreciation has already been consumed in the first year with these accelerated depreciation methods you can imagine that's probably what they're trying to avoid happening here saying no you can't do that you have to if you want to use the mileage method you've got to use it you've got to use it starting from the first year that means that you might come out to a situation where the actual method is higher than the mileage method in the first year possibly because of accelerated depreciation but you also want to think what's going to be the best method over the life of the vehicle which can be a little bit more confusing to calculate when you're trying to determine which method to use in any case if you choose to use the standard mileage rate or you lease you must use it for the entire lease period now we're talking about a leasing situation including renewals so standard mileage rate not allowed you cannot use the standard mileage rate if you one operate five or more cars at the same time so now you're not using like your your car you got five or more in operation so they're going to say hey you need to not do the standard mileage rate in that case two claim a depreciation deduction using any method other than straight line so for example the the acres and the makers and notice the straight line would be a depreciation method where you're allocating like a like the same amount of depreciation over a certain time frame usually people use like a makers which is an accelerated time frame and again the idea would be that if you use an accelerated depreciation they're concerned that you're going to be overstating the depreciation one year getting a big expense and then switching to the mileage method so you kind of double dipping that's kind of the issue so three claim a section one seventy nine deduction so that's the same issue I was talking about why you can imagine they would they would limit that because if you were able to take a one seventy nine deduction which is an accelerated depreciation in year one and then switch to a mileage method after that then you would have got this big deduction in year one because they accelerated the depreciation so you would think they wouldn't want you to do that claim the special depreciation same thing that's a huge lump sum depreciation in the first year five claimed actual car expenses for a car you leased or six are a rural mail carrier who received a qualified reimbursement so that's kind of a more specialized area for you rural mail carriers out there parking fee but obviously if you got reimbursed you know that would you got reimbursed so you would think that it wouldn't be an expense because you got so parking fees and tolls in addition to using the standard mileage rate you can deduct any business related parking fees and tolls parking fees you pay to park your car at your place of work are non deductible commuting expenses so actual expenses if you do not choose to use the standard mileage rate you may be able to deduct your actual car or truck expenses tip if you qualify to use both methods figure your deduction both ways to see which gives you a larger deduction so that might happen for example in the first year of you putting the car on the books you want to figure which would be better but remember it's not just the first year you're dealing with because you're kind of locked into the methods at least to some degree that you're going to pick so you want to think about you know multiple years what's going to be best actual car expenses include the cost of the following items so if you're doing the actual expenses instead of just using the mileage rate where you would ask someone for their total mileage miles and so on and in essence multiply that times the rate we have to get all the actual stuff which is depreciation which means we have to put the car on the books as a fixed asset and use depreciation methods to depreciate you got the garage rent gas insurance lease payments licenses oil parking fees registration repairs tires and tolls all this car related stuff so if you use your vehicle for both business and personal purpose you must divide your expenses between business and personal use that's where it gets messy so you can divide your expense based on the miles driven for each purpose so you could take like a ratio of some kind you're going to say well I drive my car you're going to look at your total expenses and say well I drive my car 80% business or something like that and it's usually not going to be perfect because you're trying to estimate and it's difficult because you use it for personal and you use it for business you commute as well as use it for other things example example example you are the sole proprietor of a flower shop you drove your van 20,000 miles during the year 16,000 miles were for delivering flowers to customers and 4,000 miles were for personal use including commuting miles so you can claim only 80% which is the 16,000 divided by the total miles of 20 of the cost of operating your van as business expense so when you're trying to do this as a tax repairer you're often going to have to work with clients to get these numbers and be like well what do you think the total what are the total miles that you drove on the year you know and how much of that well how many of those miles do you think are going to be how much of those miles are business miles and you want to be able to track this and of course document it as well as you can because these deductions are going to be a big deduction often time so if you had an audit you'd most likely be talking possibly about car and auto because those are some of the big items so you want to get it as accurate as you can but obviously we are using an estimate which is inherently going to have some estimation in it so more information for more information about the rules for claiming car and truck expenses you can see publication 463 I'll reimbursing your employees for expenses you can generally deduct the amount you reimburse your employees for car and truck expenses as well the reimbursement you deduct and the manner in which you deduct it depend on part in part on whether you reimburse the expenses under the accountable plan or a non-accountable plan so notice that if you have employees then if they are driving their car and truck expenses and you reimburse them for the car and truck expenses then that could be like a benefit in some ways instead of giving them a payment and calling it like W2 wages where you'd have to be dealing with where you'd have to be dealing with self-employment tax and all that kind of stuff so the reimbursement method could be good because you're providing the car or you're reimbursing them for that and if you can give them a payment for the use of their car and whatnot without having taxes applied to it that would be a favorable thing for them and therefore a favorable thing for you as a business but you gotta make sure that you do that in a plan that is appropriate that's a qualified plan so expenses under an accountable plan or a non-accountable plan so for more details on that if you wanna dive into that in more detail you can see chapter 11 of publication 535 that chapter explains accountable plans and tells you whether to report the reimbursement on your employee's form W2


Here's some good news. Data tell us that in the past 15 years, more children than ever have enrolled in primary school. This massive global effort to achieve universal education has been made possible by data. In fact, more than 1,000 internationally comparable indicators produced by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics have kept governments accountable while measuring progress on a host of education issues. But does this mean our work is done? Not yet. Data show successes and failures. Roughly one-quarter of children who enroll in primary school drop out. Of those who stay, many are not learning at the appropriate grade level. This issue is being addressed by the Sustainable Development Goal for Education. It's an ambitious plan, with governments promising 12 years of quality learning for all. But to meet and measure this goal, we need more data, especially from poor countries, so we can produce different kinds of indicators. But data are messy. Education data come from many sources, each with its own criteria and classifications. This makes it hard to answer even simple questions, such as, how much does education cost? Calculating total education spending must consider money coming from different levels of government, as well as funding from private donors and NGOs, not to mention what parents spend on books, uniforms, and other fees. To get a clearer picture, we're working with governments to develop common standards for all countries and conducting workshops to show statisticians how to find and use data from different sources. By improving the quality of national data, governments can spend smarter, and our job of producing global indicators becomes much easier. Data also point out areas that need more attention. For example, millions of children are still not in school. What's holding them back? We work with partners in countries with high exclusion rates to collect a wide range of data and information. With detailed profiles of out-of-school and at-risk children, governments can address the factors that perpetuate inequality and tailor plans to ensure that every child enjoys the right to education. But that's still not enough. Data tell us that millions of children are leaving school without a basic grasp of reading and mathematics. How can we expect these children to compete in today's rapidly changing job market? Many countries conduct learning assessments, but right now there is no way to compare results on a global scale. So we've begun working with partners to link different assessments and develop global measures of learning, which will enable countries to monitor student progress and strengthen policies to improve learning outcomes. This is no easy task, but if we do it right, every student, teacher, and school will have the chance to excel.


So my new obsession, I really just like found out about this while I moved this week. I'm talking about how I stalked your girlfriend in high school. In high school? Yeah. You too? You're mine. Welcome to a new vlog. My name is Sonali and I live in Austin, but today we are in Dallas, Texas. We just came here for a day and a night. So yesterday we drove up here and it was around like three hour drive. I thought it was four this whole time. So that was kind of a nice surprise. But we drove in last night. We had dinner at Monarch and then we went to a comedy club. And the reason why I'm here is because it's creator day. I don't really know who like made up that holiday. Maybe it was like to know it, but basically like to know it is having an event for creators. I'm not really sure like how many people are going. The event is obviously in Dallas. So I was like, you know what? I'm not that far away. Like I feel like I should just go and over the past month I've really truly learned the importance of connections. So I just want to go and see what it's all about. So I'm excited about that. But we are going to a coffee shop because we have lots of work to do. Lots of emails for me. I found this place that we're going to on Tik Tok because we've done like the Lala land and like I love all land, but we've done it multiple times. So I wanted to try something new. This place is called Funny Library and it looks very vibey and kind of dark, which honestly, I work best in the dark. So I'm very excited to try this place out. And then we might go to Highland Park for a lunch and the event tonight only starts at like maybe six or 6.30 to like nine. So I think we're just going to drive straight back to Austin right after. So apparently this coffee shop is in the Virgin Hotels. Parts in this lot. And I was actually really surprised. It's like six dollars for the whole day. It actually expires tomorrow morning. So I love that. Cheap part. And thank you. Funny Library, I see it. There was actually a lot more seating than we even realized. Look how freaking cool this is. It's so vibey, like I said. And I kind of like that it's dark over here. And you can see there's like outlets all over. So I mean, we're not going to claim this spot. I just told Ryan when we buy a house, we need to make like a dark corner like this for working because both of us truly just work better at night. And so if we could like, you know, act like it's night during the day, that would be so nice. So my new obsession, I literally just like found out about this one this week. But it is putting vanilla, syrup and your iced chai. So I do an iced chai with oat milk and vanilla syrup. I usually ask for light ice, but I totally forgot this one. So let's do a taste test. If you like sweet stuff, it just hits. So good. You also got these croissants, and they're massive. So yum. I asked all my Instagram stories for some like recommendations for lunch and dinner. And I think I'm between Honor Bar and Sadelle's for lunch because I've heard so many good things about those two places. So I think those are both maybe located in Highland Park, which is a little north of Dallas. And tonight's event is going to be located in Uptown. So I feel like that will be perfect. What time is it? We've been here for a while and we wanted to stay for a little bit longer. But honestly, we're just really hungry. Our tummies are growling. So we're going to go probably to Highland Park. Why'd you laugh? I feel like my bookabit is literally of a two-year-old, but it's okay. We're going to go get some food. But this was such a vibe. Like I, if I lived in Dallas, I would definitely come back here. But were you productive? Yeah, I still have work to do. We came out of the Virgin Hotels. There was this like little construction area, but this place is so cute. All these places just have really good aesthetics. And we're going to just take a quick picture, taking it with my new favorite camera. This is the Fujifilm X100B. And it kind of gives you like that film-like look because there's film simulations built in and you can kind of customize them. So, and the flash on this is so, so good. Ryan took some really, really cute pictures of me in front of that green wall. It was so cute. I also did like a little TikTok video. But now we are going to Honor Bar. And I feel like I've heard a lot about this place only because I watch Kenzie Elizabeth's vlogs. And I feel like Honor Bar is her place to go. So I'm excited to try that. We'll probably have some time after because we're going to be in Highland Park where all the bougie stores are. I mean, I don't know if I'm going to buy anything, but it's always fun to look in there. And hopefully it's not raining though because it just started drizzling. Hopefully it clears up a little bit because it is like an outdoor mall. So everything's outside. But wait, can we go look at the houses around here too? There are also a lot of nice cars around here. Ryan loves a good Dallas trip. Yeah, well, these aren't really nice. Oh my goodness. I forgot how nice the houses are. They're so pretty and just so big. Oh, and we were in the Virgin Hotels. Everything's like really just nice and elevated, which means you definitely have to dress more elevated, which I don't know if I like that because I feel like I'm so used to dressing so casual. So I kind of feel intimidated in Dallas, but even the bathrooms in the Virgin Hotels, they had like about 10 singular stalls and they were massive. I was like, well, Austin could never because we just don't have that space. I am ready for a hefty lunch. What about you? Can you stop and mob him? Biggest burger you've ever made. What'd you say? It's not the biggest burger they've ever made. Me too.  I've been renting a lot of their stuff on rent-to-runway lately. So kind of curious. The bar was actually really good. I'm glad that did not disappoint. But when we were at lunch, I was trying to look up like what time it all started. I honestly thought it started at like 6.30, but it actually starts at five. So it's 4.41. We're luckily close to LTK's headquarters. So Ryan's going to drive me over there. What are you going to do while I'm in there? I'm going to do a little bit more work. But apparently the speaker sessions are only an hour long and then there's just like a party. I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay. It'd be nice if we could like leave not too late from here. So we could don't get back at like midnight, but hoping I meet some really cool people and make some really good connections. And just like that, we're back in Austin. We drove right after my event. So I think it ended around like eight or something. So I think we got home a little bit before 11. So not too bad. But then I stayed up because I had to make some selects for a campaign and I've been pushing it off. So it just was like, okay, we're doing it now. So I sent those in and went to bed at like 2 a.m. But it is Friday and I feel like this week has gone by so, so slow. I have a grad session at 11.30. It's currently very gloomy and gross outside. It said that it was going to rain and maybe it trizzled a little bit, but not like the rain I was getting. So I usually don't shoot on Fridays, but I rescheduled one of the girls to Friday from one of the days this week. And the day that we canceled on was totally fine, like perfectly fine. I was like, I was really beating myself up for that one. The next week is my last week of grad season. Well, technically, I guess, before graduation. I am taking a trip like the week of graduation and I know on campus that week it gets a little crazy. So I'm trying to like steer clear of that. I'm kind of excited for it to end just so I could put so much more time into YouTube because I know I've been really slacking and I feel like it happens every single year around this time, which sucks. And next year, you know what? I'm actually really gonna hire a video editor. This morning, we're gonna pick up Sophie. I am at her pickup spot. She was just with her dog sitter for a couple of days.  I'm so excited. I could only pick up half the things cause some of them were only like online exclusive or whatever. So I don't know when those are coming because they were like, yeah, it's gonna take a while since obviously everyone's buying from Sephora during the Sephora sale right now. I definitely went a little bit crazy. I tried to control myself, but I feel like I haven't bought new makeup in so long and especially makeup brushes. I got a lot of those. So I'm excited to like switch those out. And then later tonight, I have two friends in town. One is a childhood friend. She and all of her cousins are coming and I actually know the cousins too. And then one of my friends from Austin but we actually met in Atlanta when we were young but I didn't remember. She is in town for like a whole month. So I'm excited to get to hang out with her. I think we just might like drink at my place and then go out. So I'm not really sure like exactly the plans cause I'm waiting on the bigger group to like let us know and I'll just meet them out. And it looks like the weather is supposed to get really sunny today. I wanna film a bunch of stuff and like take advantage of the light. So we're gonna do that today as well. Tobi. Hi. She's super excited as she just woke up. Hi Tobi. She has a really good nap. Hello. How is Uncle Jeff's? We call the dogs that are Uncle Jeff. I don't know why. So cute. I missed you. Ryan doesn't have TikTok and I don't really watch like the Instagram reels that he sends me. So we sit down together and watch like his reels and my TikToks that I send him. And he always sends me dog videos. And when we were out, like we were just like away for two days. But I was like, no, please, please stop showing me these. Cause like Loki, I kind of forget about Sophie.    Yeah. She like wakes us up shaking like the whole time. And I'm like, ugh, so annoying. So I was like kind of happy that she's not here so I could like sleep well. But also I felt bad cause I know she doesn't like them. So there was a lot of lightning and thunder.  It is currently 10.05. So I think we'll have like a good amount of time to like look around in case I want to pick anything else up. I am still seeing like TikToks for the Sephora sale and like saving them. Guys, it's, you know, my willpower just like not there. Let me text Ryan that I'm on my way home. I just got to UT just packing up some things in my bag and we'll head over to the little field fountain to meet our grads. It's the weekend officially. It's 3 p.m. I definitely thought I would have makeup on and be showered by now, but I wanted to focus on getting my apartment ready for people to see it. Just cause my friend's coming over tonight and I think she's going to sleep over in the guest room and the guest room is where I've been definitely neglecting it. So I have so many like just random things everywhere. A lot of these piles are things that I want to film with hoping to get all that done today. And then I had one returns box over there. So I just put away all the other boxes. This is something really exciting. I got the Ninja Creamy. I honestly just haven't really had the time to like open it and use it.  Hopefully today I will get to it and maybe we can like make something but it has to like freeze for I think over 24 hours or 12 hours. And then you can like actually make it into ice cream. So that is what I'm currently doing. It is a mess. So we need to get this fixed before Mia comes. Last weekend we went to a cocktail bar that's new around our area. And I am craving their Mexican martini margarita thingy. It was so, so good. So like perfectly savory and salty. And if it's just me and Mia tonight, I might ask her if she wants to go there instead of just like pregame in my house. But obviously if we pregame at my place, then we save money. So we'll see. We'll see what we're feeling tonight. A lot later it is five o'clock and I did some work wrapping up some campaigns, preparing something to go live on Monday. And then one I had to submit my creative concept for.  And now I feel like I need caffeine because I have a long night ahead of me since we're going out tonight. So I think I'm gonna do a chai and then add this like French vanilla stuff in. But to be honest, I don't know how good this is gonna be because it's sugar-free and it's French vanilla and not just like vanilla. I'm not really sure the difference. Pazzo classic chai latte. And we're just gonna pour this in first. And then we'll do like and some French vanilla. I'm really hoping I don't mess this up because then I'll like we sell this chai but let's just do like a little bit. Not bad. Not bad. This was expired last year, but honestly it looks fine. Like it looks the same. So I think I'm gonna live. It's okay. Mia is in the house. Literally. I'm not as strong as she is and she's taking a shot of this. Well, I'm not. I'm putting on a front. Okay. Did you try the trick? No, I just chugged it. Actually take a little sip of this. It's coconut. I can't. It's a little. Oh my God. Coconut flavor. I made coconut margaris last weekend with that. And it's really good. But I think there was like too many ingredients in the drink. And you know how creamy drinks, just a tummy doesn't do it for you guys. It's your stomach's already like not good from the alcohol and then the like, literally the dairy of like, oh no. The coconut milk. No. Yeah, it's coconut milk. We're going to rainy. I haven't been out at night in so long. I go out, like my ideal going out time is like happy hour at like 6.37.  Go to the bar at like 9 p.m. dance to like 10, 11, hold my 12th in bed. Like I don't want to be out past that, but no. I'm glad we're. Yeah, I'll just say yeah, that's cool. So we will be home tonight at a good hour. Around like 12, we're all going to look at each other and be like pizza. I am so done for that. And now I'm like a grandma. I'm trying to say so bad. Kids, this is what happens when you turn 26 years old. I can't do it like I used to. Not that I really could do it before.  Yeah, I want to be cool. It makes me sad. It does? Yeah. Are you like a big partier before? No. And I think that's why it makes me sad cause I don't think it's like. Gotten out. Yeah. Like cause even in college, like I look back and like my friend group didn't really, I mean like maybe Saturdays, but like all my other stories, this just would be like Thursday, Friday, Saturday, you know, Sunday, Friday. I understand when I even back out. No, I am like, I will never understand till this day, but I feel like I didn't go out enough to get it. I feel like living in New York has been bad for me because like, it's not that I'm going out like at time, but it's like Wednesday you'll go get drinks with this person, Thursday you have a date. So it's like I have to drink on a bad date.  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where are the sober activities? Like we had so many when we were growing up. I don't, I feel like every activity is like, kind of like drinking adjacent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like. Do you feel that way about here? No, but this is on my home. Yeah. I'm from Boston. One of the rare breeds of people who's from here. It's my favorite party trip to be at a bar and be like, yeah I'm from Boston and people are like, no, you're not. I'm like, but I am. I don't think I'm lying. That's funny. I know, whenever I hear someone's from there, I'm like, oh, what the heck? Yeah, most people are like transplants, for sure. And I think that's like the city's like growing so much, which is like great, which is why I'm gonna get Ryan and Sonali to stay here until I move back because I need them to be my friends. So then I'm just gonna make all of them move. My parents live up north, so they're all just gonna move up north to the lake with me and we're all just gonna hang out all the time. Yeah, no. I'll veto that. No. I'm a city girl. I was gonna get really counted as a city because even like the downtown is like pretty like laid back. I know, I think that's what I like about it. I was always texting my friends today and I was like, I'm wearing jeans out tonight.  Can you not wear that there? I got turned away from a bar and me like wearing jeans. Oh, that's kind of scary. Yeah. Oh wait, we were in Dallas like literally yesterday. I know we were like eating dinner and I felt, I honestly felt uncomfortable because everyone was dressing so fast. Dallas I feel like is really nice.  Not that like either of us are like casual right now, but like relatively.  Like sneakers. Okay, good. Yeah. Yeah, so you're like, I don't need to be wearing more than that. No. I'm not, I'm not like doing anything. I don't want my feet to hurt. Yeah, I know. Again, I'm an old woman. I feel like that's nice about Austin cause even the nicest dress shot. Well, okay, the nicest dress shot, I feel like doesn't even have a dress code. Yeah. Barely. Like even like sushi bar or AT. But see my parents are opposite. Like they don't like that.  Like we went to this like really nice steak restaurant last night I was here and there were people like, and James and my mom was like, yeah. And she was like, just like. Okay. This place.  I just want the one night to be dressed up. Yeah.  Exactly. But like Dallas, it was like. But I feel like Dallas has different energies in New York because Dallas is also like a specific kind of elitism that's kind of. Yeah. I think we know. Yeah. We all know. When I try to explain Austin to people in New York cause I like don't really get it. I'm like, it's much very different. It's so different than the rest of Texas but it's also just like different than the rest of the South in general. I was just telling Ryan, I was like, I know I live in Austin, but I don't feel like I live in Texas. No. Like I don't. That's why I tell people I'm from Texas, people are like. Oh yeah. I have to say I'm from Austin. Yeah, yeah.  I'm like, I'm from Austin. I'm like, please don't say that. I don't know why I told you this. The reason I messaged you on that Facebook post is because I remember meeting you so clearly at that event that we were at. So back story. Yeah. Back story. I don't believe all of that, right? Yeah, I don't believe it. Like there is a really big Indian community in Atlanta and they like threw this like, essentially pageant, the party type situation. Did you mean the dances? No. I thought of pageant. I'm talking about when that like event where like there was like a hall and like the little kids like came up and they like did like, what do you want to be when you grow up and every single like three year old was like, how do I need a doctor? Do you remember? No, because I have the shittiest memory. Oh my God. It was like in like a, it was in that old mall. That old like- Yeah, I know global mall. Yeah. I know where it is. Yeah, exactly.  I was so confused. Oh. And so for me, like I wasn't eating all of you guys for the first time for you. Like I was like a random person. It was all of these people that you had known for your whole life. Yeah. Of course like I remember it. Yeah. Well, no, but I also have the worst memory ever. I remember it clearly because like I remember meeting you and like everyone was like, that's a no, it's here like- Me uh- No, I'm not kidding. Stop. You're joking. I'm not kidding. Everyone was like obsessed with you.   There were like two sisters. They're like, yeah, they were like two sisters and like I had met them first and then you walked up and I remember also, I remember because I like followed you on Instagram and your family did this like beach photo shoot. And you looked so pretty and- You mean the YOLO? Like on the beach. The YOLO photo. I'm gonna show you. After this is so embarrassing. For years afterwards, like I would check up on you. Really? That is so- I like very much- That is so funny. Yeah, like it was a lot.  I'm talking about how I stalked your girlfriend in high school. Yeah, actually? Yeah. Me too. You too? Okay. You're lying.  I thought you played Cat in the House. Ah! I thought you played Cat in the House. Oh, are you playing hard to get? Oh! Did I see it?  It was right there! Did you see it? Yeah, I saw it.  But that wasn't the picture that I was referring to. Well, I know. Yeah, but that's a whole different picture. My dad was obsessed and I think still is probably with the YOLO phrase, so we have a speech voucher. We wanted to do this, so, yeah. And- That's funny actually. I was right, see? And now we're friends, so it's okay for me to say this like years after. Yes, it was this one. My face is feeling shabby. My face is shabby. My face is shabby. I don't know if I wear a hat or not. Babe, just fix your hair with the pomade. The pomade. Use my way matte pomade. Okay, we're going out. Tell them what you're using. Stunning. Quiet. What are you saying? Babe, what? It's way. I'm going to enhance my look a little. Happy Saturday. It is actually the nicest day out, and it's already noon and we walk up pretty late. So, very sad, but it's okay. We'll try to make use of the daylight hours that we have. And we're going to slick my hair back yesterday, but decided to wear it down. So, today it's like back, and this is my outfit. I have a full aloe. I think I want a smoothie or a chai. Actually, where do you want to go? I should have wears some bagels and take it all back. I don't want something like healthier. We're going to get a bird biscuit, but then I was like, it's too heavy. I think sushi jenai is in the menu tonight. No. No. Maybe something sushi other. Other sushi. Sushi jenai is like all you can eat, and it's like, it's like definitely like on the low totem pole of like quality, but it's not pretty. It's a good bang for your buck. What's like the shittiest, probably that rotating one that we've been to, Kira. I think that was like the shittiest quality. Battery just died on us, which was good because I didn't even know my battery was low. So, now we are heading out to get some kind of breakfast. Not sure what, but I'm either craving a smoothie or I want a chai with my vanilla. Guys, I feel like whenever I get like obsessed with the food, I can't stop with it until I'm like so sick of it. And I saw a Snapchat memory of cowboy caviar. Should we make that soon? For a year. We're going to try hard coffee right now. You might have to eat this. Oh, it goes at try hard, but they sold out. And the last time me and Nancy went there, they had sold out of like almost everyone, but two. And so I was like, how early do you guys sell out usually? And he was like, oh, we never sell out. Today, we were just really busy. I was like, okay. But hopefully, this is like so much smaller. But yeah, hopefully one of these days Ryan and I can try the tacos. Well, I've already tried them. I only tried one, but it was really good. Anyways, we got bagels instead, switched it up. You guys know our tradition after drinking is getting bird bird biscuit. I think I already said that. But today I was like, you know what? We do that every day or every weekend. So not every week. What, what? We don't drink every weekend even. Oh yeah, we don't drink every weekend. But I feel like we've gotten it like often. But I don't like that. You don't like that? No. Why would you want your bagel scooped out? The breading is the best part. Mm-hmm. Yeah, huh? Topings are. So I just got a rosemary salt bagel with just regular cream cheese. Which reminds me, I need to take a lactate pill, but let's see what this looks like. The rosemary salt is stunning. Look at that. Let me show you guys. Look how beautiful that bagel is. Soon we'll be eating New York bagels. Again. We have some really unfortunate news to announce. But our cactus died. And I don't know if I showed you guys in the vlogs, but it's like really horrible. It's been dead for three months now and we haven't really taken care of it. So yeah, we need to cut it. Ryan wants to see if it will regrow. I really don't think it will, because it's really, really dead. So we're at the sausage and succulents, my favorite place. And I just want to get like some flowers or something for the duck, make it a little nicer. Look at all the cool cactus. There's so many like different kinds. That would scare me though. Cause like one little like touch. Yeah, Sophie could get hurt. Those are cool. Yeah. Maybe just like small ones like this, you know, like a little, what are these called babe? They're not cactuses. What are they? Yeah, like a little succulent garden in that little pot that we have our cactus in currently. Well, we're keeping a cactus in there. Oh, sure. Yeah, I guess. I really don't think it's going to regrow, but look at that. I like these. Basically we had one of those cactus like huge and it was not cheap at all.  That happens every year. So maybe I should have known. This place is so cool. I also think we should get like some flowers or something. They have like really nice pottery and all this. I would love to get some of those. Guys, I just want a house so I can just garden. But I say that now and I probably won't want to garden. Yeah, I'll probably like want to do it for one day and be like, break this, you know? Yeah, so basically our cactus, it was getting really skinny at the top because we had it inside. So it needs direct sunlight. So we put it outside and then we forgot to bring it in during the freeze or we weren't even home. So, okay, we found what we're looking for. And it's not that expensive. But there's like two or three different kind. I think that's the one we want to get right there. Yeah, one looks healthy, one looks dead. Oh wait, this one looks healthy. One before it. The freeze doesn't kill this one. We need to figure out how to water it and stuff too. Yeah, this time we're going to actually ask the people. I mean, it probably definitely gives us our spring through fall, perfect timing, full time to part shade, low to moderate water. And I also have like those bulbs that can like water itself too. Just bring it inside if it's going to freeze during the winter and it should be fine. And you should be good to put it outside like during the daytime during the winter. Okay, great. It's been cut, like it's going to regrow. So, let's see. This is what it looks like. And it's pretty much weightless. It feels like cardboard or something. It's so dried up. You could see it better, but there's like little pieces of wood. You see that? That's weird. You could spy on it, I guess. Is it good girl? Sophie. Good morning, happy Sunday. We are going to the farmer's market. We both were talking on our road trip back from Dallas and one of my like little road trip questions was what is your ideal weekend? And we both said Sunday's farmer's market. So we're doing that. Yeah, with Sophie. Sophie's here with us. Say hi. Don't be rude. But yeah, so we're going to go to the farmer's market and then we both have like two returns to do at like the domain area. I have to return one of the bronzers. I got, I think I want to get a darker color in it because it just like wasn't really showing up on my skin and it's not very cheap. So I wanted to exchange it. And then Ryan's got like a Dick's Sporting Goods return or something like that. Yeah, I'm gonna concealer and you need to return. I'll concealer, yeah, okay. We're just having a little wholesome weekend. Aren't we, Sophie? Why are you whining? There's specific things that I always get when I come to the farmer's market. One being the citrus lemonade. It's so good. But I'm gonna try to ask for light ice because it melts so quickly. But also it's pretty cold out today. So maybe it won't melt that quickly. And then the shoe. I think it was like just like the lamb wrap from Lambda Indian Kitchen. I think that's what it's called. It's so good. We should get some curry this time from the little stand. So we're gonna get it last time. I can't remember why we did it. But, and then Ryan, what do you get? Tacos, right? So I'm gonna get a pork belly tacos, but I don't think I want that today. I just want some coffee. Nice. Skinny queen. Yeah. I'm doing a little taste test. There was like a whole strip of vendors that weren't there at the farmer's market today, which included the Indian like lamb wrap that I always get, which is so sad. And then I just like didn't really want the lemonade, but we did get those like Thai meal kits. And I've gotten so many people saying that like I need to try them. So I'm very excited to cook that tonight. We got Tomka soup, and then do we get green curry or red curry? But now it's time to make our returns. We are at the domain and we got here like right at 12. I think place is open right at 12. So hopefully the support line is like not that bad, but it is the last day of this tail. So I'm kind of expecting the worst and just hoping for the best. It's a lot later. It's almost eight o'clock and it is time to make dinner. Nowadays since the sun sets so much later, Ryan comes home like at nine it feels like. So we eat dinner kind of late now, which I don't really love, honestly. I think I just need to get in the habit of eating without him and like preparing the food, eating without him and just like eating earlier cause I do not like to eat this late, but I was editing and like, you know, I'm doing some work so it worked out fine. But these are the two things that we are going to cook tonight. So we have red curry and then Tomka soup. And guys, I'm not going to lie, I'm nervous. There's a Thai eggplant in here. I have no idea how to cook, so I'm going to have to look that up. But I just got like some water boiling for the soup. I also feel like I can't film too much just cause I feel like I'm going to be already so flustered with like figuring out how to cook this stuff and doing two at once. Like I'm not a multitasker in the kitchen. I've tried and it really, really failed me every single time. So today I'm going to really try to focus and like do it well. But we did get some meat because these didn't come with meat. So we got some kind of beef and then chicken as well.  So I'm just going to start cooking the soup and this is the red curry and everything was really good. I feel like I wish the soup had more of the flavor. There's like a packet that they gave you of the concentrate. I wish they had more of that cause I feel like just needed a little bit more flavor but it was still really good. And I definitely do this again. I feel like it's inspiring me to like do Hello Grash. I've always told myself that I wanted to do that but I never did. But I feel like it will help me to like get me back in the kitchen and cooking and get inspired. So I need to look into that.  Which one is the best? There's green chef. Is there green chef? Hello chef. And I'm wondering if there's like an ethnic one, you know that has like not just like taco bowls cause I feel like I could easily make that. But anyways, this was really good. And I'm going to end the vlog here. I feel like my past few vlogs have been a little bit all over the place. I'm really hoping to, you know, get back on my grind. I have one more week of grad season. Life isn't slowing down though because I have a trip the week right after. A really, really exciting trip that I haven't really shared with you guys. What it's about. So very excited for that. If you guys aren't following me on Instagram and TikTok go ahead and do that. So underscore noirly without the G and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye.


Hi, my name is Meredith Steiner and I'm so excited to be here with you. I live in San Francisco and I'm a children's librarian for San Francisco Public Library. I'm also an author. And this is the book that I wrote, just like you. It's beautifully illustrated by Avni Sandu. I love how colorful and joyful the illustrations are. Just like you follows a diverse cast of kids throughout their day from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night. I wrote just like you, hoping that anyone who picks up the book can find someone who's like them in it. So maybe they have the same hairstyle, or maybe they have the same skin color or body size, or they like to do the same things, or maybe communicate in the same way. The book celebrates the magic that each and every one of you has. If you can find just like you at the library or at your local independent bookstore, I invite you to read just like you and see if you can find someone in it who is just like you.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss a question which says that the slant height of a frustum of a cone is 4 cm and the parameters i.e. circumference of the circular ends are 18 cm and 6 cm. Find the cone surface area of the frustum and use i is equal to 22 by 7 and the options are a 40 cm square, b 34 cm square, c 38 cm square and d 52 cm square. Now before starting the solution of this question we should know some of the results. First is the curve surface area of the frustum of the cone is equal to into i 1 plus i 2 the hole into l where i 1 and i 2 are the radii of the ends of the frustum of the cone and l is the slant height of the frustum of the cone and pi is a constant also r 1 is greater than r 2. Secondly parameter of circumference of a circle is equal to 2 pi r where r is the radius of the circle and pi is now these results will work out as a key idea for solving out this question and now we will start with the solution. Now in the question the parameters of the circular ends of the frustum of the cone are given to us as 18 cm and 6 cm. Now given the perimeter of one circular end is equal to 18 cm and the perimeter of the other circular end of the frustum of the cone is equal to 6 cm. Now we will start the radius of one circular end of the frustum of the cone is equal to r 1. Now using this formula which is given in the key idea so where the perimeter of one circular end of the frustum of the cone with radius r 1 is equal to 2 pi r 1. Now using this value here this implies 18 cm is equal to 2 pi r 1 which further implies 18 cm is equal to 2 into 22 pi 7 into r 1 which further implies r 1 is equal to 18 into 7 over 2 into 22 cm which implies r 1 is equal to here 2 into 9 it will be 63 by 22 cm. Now let the radius of the other circular the perimeter be equal to 2 pi r. Now this is the perimeter of other circular end this implies 6 cm is equal to 2 pi r 2 which implies 6 cm is equal to 2 into 22 pi 7 into r 2 which further implies r 2 is equal to over 2 into 22 cm which implies r 2 is equal to now here 2 into 3 is 6 so it will be 20 over 22 cm. Now the slant height of the frustum of the cone is 4 cm and we have to find the curved surface area of the frustum and when we use this formula to find out the curved surface area of the frustum now given the slant height is equal to 4 cm therefore cut into r 1 plus r 2 the hole into l r 1 this is r 2 and this is l all these values here this will be equal to pi this is 22 plus 7 into 22 plus 21 by 22 the hole into 4 cm square which is further equal to 22 by 7 into on technical IOCM it will be 63 by 21 by 22 which is 84 by 22 into 4 cm square. Now here 7 into 12 is 84 22 will be cancelled with 22 so it will be 38 cm square is 48 cm square and this question is option C which is 48 cm square solution of the given question and that's all for the session hope you all have enjoyed the session.
