Welcome to The Journey. Today we're going to talk about five cybersecurity tips for your small business. Hey Nealey, I've got a question for you. Would you believe that more than 50% of your web traffic might actually be from bots, scammers, and even hackers? I believe it. Well, you've probably heard of stories about websites being hacked and then, you know, you're probably thinking you're invincible, right? Like you're Nealey. You could never be a target. And the sad truth is that hackers and scammers don't attack websites for personal reasons. They do it for the thrill and for the economic gain.  But not to worry though, we're going to give you the tips and tricks, just to make sure that you beef up to your security with five easy tips. So number one, use secure and unique passwords. This is something that I had to learn the hard way and I have to constantly remind myself to do this. So make sure you're doing it on your end. And it's amazing the amount of information we store online. I store everything online, every password, and think about it. Everything from your thermostat to your personal computer to even your bank accounts has a password attached to it. And now if you're like some people I know you might use the same password for all of those things. And that's a huge no, no. Again, I did this. I hear you. I learned the hard way. So take it from me because if a hacker or scammer correctly guesses your password on just one account, then it's easy for them to find and access your other accounts, including your website. And that's why it's essential to create strong, unique passwords. But here are some tips to really crafting the perfect password. So for one, you don't want to recycle your passwords as MSN. Don't use the same password on every single website. Don't choose easy to guess security questions too. That can be easily looked up or just checking out your Facebook account can easily find your mother's main name or the street address you lived on when you were 12. You definitely want to use more than one word and then use numbers and symbols, but never in a sequence. So my awesome password 11 exclamation is not an awesome password, no matter how hard you want it to be, but you'll also want to use passwords that are at least 12 to 15 characters in length. But remember, always change your password every quarter at the very least just to keep your website safe. So every few months. And if you have trouble remembering all these different passwords, we have a video on password managers that make your life a little bit easier with the just randomly generated passwords. Then you just need to know one password to rule them all, making that one incredibly secure. So number two, be sure to perform routine security checks. I can't stress that enough. I know we've also talked about security a ton on this channel, not a new topic. So you probably know that an attack can come honestly at any time, you guys. So routinely checking the security of your site is mission critical. Yeah. And if you don't want to be constantly watching a website, I highly recommend do that. Use website security. It's going to scan your website from malware. And if it does find any, it's going to remove it. It even monitors things like your brand reputation online, performs Google block list monitoring removal and a ton of more. And number three, keep your eye out for cybersecurity tips. The world of cybersecurity is ever changing just like what I say about social media. So it's important to stay up to date on all of the cyber threats. Now, if you find yourself short on time, I mean, who doesn't consider subscribing to some industry leading newsletters. And I suggest subscribing to the security security newsletter, which is especially useful for learning about new vulnerabilities that are out there. And cyber threats actually as they happen. That's an awesome newsletter. Another amazing blog newsletter combo is Krebs on security. The author, Brian Krebs was a victim of hackers and became obsessed with cybersecurity. And since then he's published a daily blog, which is honestly just incredible, focused on online crime investigations, latest cyber threats and data breaches and security updates in the hacking world. But it's one thing to subscribe to these newsletters, but the real benefit is in actually reading them. You'll really be amazed what you can learn from just a few minutes every day. And really to be sure to dedicate that time because it does take some time to peruse both newsletters really you're protecting your business at the end of the day from those looming dark threats. Our fourth tip here for you is to consider tools really safeguard your website.  If your website is already being infected with malware, for instance, go to how he offers malware removal to help fix your website when attacked.  The firewall is like having a moat around your what your house, keeping all the riffraff and criminals or in-laws or anyone else you don't want in your house. Same thing with that firewall. Best of all, this website security tool that monitors your small business website. It's 24-7-365 for all of these different things. And last but not least, number five, install an SSL certificate right away. Check it out. I actually was just looking to book an acupuncture appointment with my local gal in town here, and I noticed it's not secure. So trust me, when I go in for my appointment, it's the first thing I'm going to let her know. And if you're not familiar with an SSL certificate or also known as a secure sockets layer, what it does, it helps protect information entered into your website by basically just building a secure encrypted connection between the website visitor's browser and the web server. And this is super important because think about all of the personal, private information that some of your patients or clients or customers are entering on your website, you want them to be reassured that that information is going to be protected and that it's going to be safe. So imagine the SSL certificate as a privacy wall, right? Everything that goes on behind it can't be seen on your website. So if your customer is entering payment information on your website, like when I was booking my acupuncture appointment, putting in my credit card, the credit card number will be protected. At the end of the day, an SSL certificate encrypts the data sent to your servers so that a customer's credit card information, home address, email address, or really any other personal identifier information will not be visible to anyone trying to steal that data. It just looks like gobbledygook. So that SSL certificate is just an easy way to install on your hosting account, whether you're with GoDaddy or anyone else. And it provides protection for your website on an annual basis. Be sure to use unique passwords, those complex ones that someone couldn't just guess in seven seconds. And then be sure to change those passwords every three months. And then perform some routine security checks. You'll thank yourself later and back up your website regularly. And also I would say consider a malware detection tool and install an SSL certificate right away. So there are many more cybersecurity tips out there to follow, but these five will certainly give you a solid digital defense to start. Be sure to check out our 200 plus videos that will help you as a small business thrive. And as always, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe. This is The Journey. We'll see you next time.


Audio jungle. Everything's been great here the whole time. There's over 850 people. There's not a lot of conferences anywhere that have that many people. And to see something like so many designers in one place to be around my people, like that's awesome. Like, it's just un-pumped. I've been pumped since I've been here. This is my fifth UX India conference. And one of the reasons why I keep coming back is because the exposure to so many curious, excited, and engaged minds here. Excited this year because I think this is probably the most diverse mix I've seen in terms of people all the way up into experienced management and leadership levels. Really overwhelmed with the kind of participation, the kind of attendance this three-day conference is witnessing. I find that the whole content is very, very rich. UX India is a great platform where all the designers get to meet once a year. It's been a fabulous journey so far. And it gives a lot of opportunity, both for the entrepreneurs, design agencies, as well as the budding designers, to come onto one platform and discuss design. So this is my first time at UX India. It's been a blast so far. The organizers have done a great job pulling together the US community here in India to be able to share their experiences, to be able to discuss some of the key topics that are going on. I've met a lot of incredible people, heard some great talks, a lot of welcoming, professional folks, and I've had a lot of great conversations. UX India experience has been amazing. People have been so great to talk with and work with. I feel like I'm with people that I've known for much longer than I have in the young community here in India. I'm very happy to be here. It's been really exciting to be a part of UX India this week. Just getting to know all the different work that's going on and get to meet a lot of different people and get to know really kind of how the UX community is developing here in another country. It's given me definitely another perspective from the United States and it's been really exciting. Very exciting, very curious minds that meet us here. It's really why I enjoy UX India as a conference number four to next year already.


Good morning. I'm Megan Humphrey. I'm the executive director of Hands and the mission of Hands is to get food to seniors who are low income. So we have workshops like this great Hands in the Dirt with Charlie and also some of them with Vermont Community Garden Network. We have Hands in the Kitchen, which is a series of nutrition education workshops with Chef Robin Burnett. We are planning also another holiday dinner, which is the delivery of about a thousand meals and gift bags all over the county on Christmas Day. So that's great. And then finally we have partnered with Heineberg Community Senior Center and lots of other organizations and volunteers in doing support buddies, which connects volunteers with seniors who might be isolated and or need food. So those are our programs and we want to do a shout out special thanks to AARP Vermont, CCTV Town Meeting TV, Gardener Supply, by Hannaford Red Wagon Plants and certainly to you, Charlie, for all of your help for so long. So we're really looking forward to this final one in this series, sadly, but I guess that also means that summer's ending, which is always hard for me. Anyways, we're looking forward to this morning's thanks so much. Thank you, Megan. It's great to be here. It's always fun to do these talks for hands. And yeah, thanks for everyone who's been following along all year. We've done maybe eight of these, I think going way back to March or April, once a month, covering different topics that are out there in the gardening world. And of course, today's topic is preserving the harvest. It is September. And I know a lot of people have, well, I guess it's one of three things probably either things didn't grow well so they've been done for a while. Things grew really well. And you kind of stayed on top of it as much as you can, or things are growing so well, you don't know what to do at all. And that's kind of the third one is why I'm here and that's to preserve it so that you can enjoy it. My wife, Wendy and I have been doing that for many years at our house. And it's great to be able to pull out some food that you have stored either fresh or frozen or canned or however you did it. In the middle of the winter to make a soup to make a stew to make whatever it is. And you have that freshness of the garden that's still there. And it's a nice way to save a lot of money too, especially if you have a big garden you can see we haven't bought vegetables, all season, all year from the store because we just have so much coming out of our garden and we still have it because it is staying warm, as it often does in September and in early October. Okay, so putting food by you know I'm not going to claim to be an expert on this I've certainly done a number of different types of techniques and have the knowledge about the vegetables of course that we're talking about and some of the herbs we're talking about. But as you'll see as I go through here I will list some other resources that will be good for you to check out to because I can't really go vegetable by vegetable how to store this one how to store that one. It's been a long time so I'm going to try to break it down and really kind of look at the different ways you can store the produce that you've got in your garden, either in your home in the garden or preserving it in some way. So the first way to do it of course is to storing it indoors. And so certain vegetables, oh you can store indoors, especially if you have a basement. If you have a seller of some type, even if it's just an old if you live in an old house and you have an old dirt seller which are the best kind. You can store a lot of different vegetables down there because of the temperature being low and the humidity being the right level for a lot of these vegetables to make it through the winter. So I'll be talking about that I'll be talking about storing them in the garden. If you have a garden in your backyard or in your side yard wherever you're growing things, you may be able to store a number of different vegetables that will be in the soil right through the winter. In fact, some of the vegetables like, for example, parsnips taste better if you harvest them late winter. So often we won't even harvest those in the fall we'll wait till late winter because they sweeten up a little bit. So I'll talk about how to do that and be successful with it. And then we'll talk about some of the more traditional ways to preserve the harvest you be talking about canning and freezing and drying those vegetables in some of the herbs to sell let's jump into it. So first of all storing indoors. You can store a number of different vegetables winter squash being one of them pumpkins of course being another one indoors and that is kind of a big group that does pretty well being stored in a basement somewhere or even a cold room, you have so if you don't have a basement maybe in a window or in a apartment somewhere, even if you have a cold spot in your apartment underneath the kitchen sink where there's cold air comes through or maybe in a back room somewhere where it stays cold. You can actually rig it up to have a place there to store things like winter squash and crops like root crops to they'll actually store pretty well especially if you use a special technique and I'll talk about that in a minute. Let's go through the different root crops that you can store. First of all, potatoes, and as I mentioned the key with storing any vegetables indoors is knowing what temperature they'll store best that and what humidity they need. And one of the things you can do is get one of those thermometers that has humidity indicator on it to so temperature and humidity, and put it in the basement or put it in a cool room or a place where you're thinking of storing and see what kind of temperatures you get this fall and winter. And if you can keep the temperatures below 50 degrees. That's going to be great because that's going to open up the whole world of different vegetables if you can keep them down closer to 40 degrees that's going to open up an even a bigger world of vegetables you could store indoors. And if you can keep the humidity anywhere from say 50 to 90%. That's where most vegetables are going to do their best. So, each vegetable has a different condition and actually if you do a little plug for an old book I wrote a number of years ago vegetable gardening for dummies. And in that book towards the end of it I talked about storing vegetables and I have a whole chart about what humidity and what temperature would be the best for each one of the vegetables so I'll talk a little bit about it here for some of the ones I'm going to mention. So for potatoes, for example, potatoes love temperatures down closer to freezing 32 to 40 degrees or so, and they like the humidity to be pretty high up to about 90%. Now that being said, we have a basement at our house, and the temperatures there stay about 50 degrees and the humidity is probably more like 50 or 60%. They do okay you know they, they will store well for a certain period of time depending on the variety I'll talk about that at the end of the segment here, segment here about how different varieties store better than others. And the only thing that really happens to your potatoes if they kind of come out of dormancy and start growing is they'll start their eyes will come up and they'll start sending shoots out. They're actually okay to still eat. They just may not taste as good and they get kind of wrinkly and dried out nearly. So finding the right varieties is one of the things to do and also keeping them cool as cool as possible and with that high humidity is another way to store potatoes. We store our potatoes right through the winter and then usually by mid winter I'd say February, March, that's when they start sprouting. The ones that are going to sprout they'll start sprouting, but that's still you know it's still probably about six months of storage which is pretty good for potatoes. Onion and garlic like it a similar type of temperature of 32 to 40 that range, but they don't like it really humid they want it more like 50 to 60 degrees. Just so you know, most basements are in that 40 to 50 degree range concrete basements, 40 to 50 degree range with a humidity about 50 to 60%. So onions and garlic actually do really well there. And again, it is dependent upon the varieties that we have we grow storage onions that are meant to store for months indoors, red ones and yellow ones. So onions do really nicely and they can last pretty easily and of course when they start sprouting you'll know it because a little shoot starts coming up. And usually at that point they're pretty much done you can just compost them. For garlic, they like the similar kind of conditions but I have one little tip I can give you about garlic which is kind of fun that I learned a number of years ago. And that is that you can store them a little bit longer by putting them underneath a turned upside down clay pot.  For whatever reason maybe the clay breeze a little bit but holds more moisture I'm not quite sure what it is. They will last longer in fact I tried it one year I left some untreated and some under the clay pot and the ones on the clay pots lasted longer. When garlic is kind of done for what happens is it shrivels up. So you get these bulbs and you look beautiful and you squeeze them they just squeeze into dust. So that will often happen come, I would say mid to late winter. But with this technique using the clay pot I've been able to store garlic in our basement, even into the summer from last year's crop which is pretty outstanding because most onions and garlic they last four to six months perhaps. And now we're talking about more like eight months for them. So playing around with a different locations and different techniques and using some of the things like these upside down clay pots is kind of a fun way to see what works for preserving them. Now carrots, if you put them in the refrigerator they're going to last a couple weeks maybe in the crisper you know, especially if you put them in a perforated plastic bag with a little moisture in it. But if you really want to get months of carrots stored in a basement area or stored in a cool room. The best way to do it is get one of those plastic containers you get like at the home centers. And put some sand in the bottom of it moist and sand sand it's just kind of damp not really wet but just damp, lay your carrots in there. Cover them over with another layer of sand and then you can put beats in there you can put parsnips in there. You might even try the potatoes in there for that matter. Because they all kind of like that nice cool voice conditions. So you put them all in there and then you put it in a cool place again at somewhere around 40 degrees will be best for carrots. If you store them in sand or I guess you could probably use sawdust and which shavings would work okay too. Excuse me. It's just really about having a material that's going to hold moisture but also breathe a little bit. So things are not going to be drying out. You can put them for up to six months. You can have fresh carrots up to six months in your basement so that's kind of a cool way to store root crops, like carrots and beats and parsnips. The winter squash are a little bit of a different character they like it warmer they like 50 to 60 degree temperatures. They like that average humidity that you'd get in a basement that 50 to 60% you know most houses in the winter are really looking at humidity down in 60% so you want to find a spot in your house especially if you burn wood which dries out the air a lot, which is going to have a little higher humidity and that will be a good place to put your winter squashes your butternuts, acorns, butter cups, delicatas, pumpkins, you know the old, the old techniques that farmers used to use in Vermont because they were lived in leaky farmhouses is that they would store their winter squash and pumpkins under their bed. So it's out of the way. Usually the bedrooms were pretty cool they kept them cool so the temperatures are cool and then the humidity was high because there were bodies there exuding moisture, and they stored for a pretty long time. Now with the winter squashes you can get them to last for a month or two depending on the squash up to six months depending upon the squash you, you have there depends on the variety you have and it depends on the conditions that where you're trying to store them. So using a varieties here are the best types if you wanted to take a look at this and I'll leave it up for a little bit as I talk about it. So you can write some of these down. This is also being recorded and it will be on the hands website and CCTV will play it back as well. So for winter squash Hubbard squash and butternut are probably the best ones. These are the ones that will store the longest, and another tip with winter squash and pumpkins to get them to last long time is that before you put them in storage, wipe them with a diluted 10% bleach solution just take a rag or sponge and wipe them off wipe the skin off, let them dry and then put them in storage. That bleach solution will kill any bacteria or fungus that's on the skin that might lead to rot.  Whereas the other ones that have their stems attached and they're in good shape, and if you've cleaned them up those are the ones that could last up to six months and Hubbard and butternut will last that long. For carrots there's a number of different varieties some of them are old varieties like Danvers and impurator, and others are newer hybrids like Balero that are meant for long term storage and you can use that sand technique that I mentioned or just putting them in bags in a cool place. They'll last for a couple months for sure just in bags but up to six months in that sand storage unit that I was talking about. Let's winterkeeper is a beat that has the perfect name for this beat I've grown this one before. It's a big beat doesn't get woody even though it gets big, and it lasts a long time in the winter so that's kind of nice. Beets don't generally last as long as carrots and parsnips but they still will last a number of months. For potatoes, Kennebet, Katahdin in all blue, Kennebet and Katahdin are very familiar old Vermont varieties. And they last again up to four to six months in storage. All blue is an heirloom that many people start growing now and I grow it. And this is one that I'll see all my other potatoes in the basement in late spring, sprouting out and the all blues still haven't sprouted they're still okay to eat so it's kind of a nice one to have if you like those blue potatoes. And then finally, onions that are good ones, Cobra, Red Wing and Stupgarder. I grow Cobra and Red Wing and those are the ones that last sometimes even into the early summer, depending upon the situation so if you have the right situation as far as temperature and humidity and the right varieties you can literally have fresh vegetables from your garden that will last you up until spring and maybe even early summer. Now how you store them of course the old fashioned root cellar would be great if we all had something like that. There are modern versions of it where people build them like this one with their humidity controlled and temperature controlled I have a friend down in the Montpelier area that has one that each room within the root cellar has a different humidity and temperature so he has of course you know apples in one room and potatoes in another and winter squash in another that kind of thing, very high deck, but he loves it and he and his wife grow a lot of their own food so it's really made a lot of sense to do that when they were renovating their house. So, but as I mentioned though you don't need to have a root cellar to make this happen it could be just a regular basement or even a cool room in your house, as long as those temperatures and humidities can be maintained roughly where you want them. Another way to store your vegetables is in the garden literally in the garden in soil right through the winter and the way to do that is to get the right kinds of plants that you're protecting so anything in the broccoli family are cold tolerant brussel sprouts cauliflower cabbage, the hearty greens like spinach arugula kale I always grow these greens and know they're up now and they're growing in our garden they're small. They may not get to mature this fall but that's okay because if I protect them they'll over winter and be ready early in the spring is a nice early spring greens crop. And of course the root crops anything that's in the soil carrots beets and parsnips are the three main ones that you can protect and these you can protect right through the winter. Whereas the broccoli family ones you're really protecting them maybe till the really coldest days of January, the hearty greens you can protect through the winter and the root crops as well. So how do you protect those root crops well the simple way to do it is you cover them with an organic material so we use hay and straw. You can get chopped up leaves make sure they're chopped up and not whole leaves because those will matt and they'll rot out the root crops, you can use untreated grass clippings. Any kind of material like that wood chips even sawdust shavings wood shavings those kinds of materials, you want to put a big pile over it though so we put for the hay or straw foot or too deep layer of material over that bed. When I do it is after it's gotten cold so the soil has cooled down but before the soil has actually frozen you don't want the soil to freeze. It's not the freezing that harms the root crops that are in there it's the freezing and thawing. So as that ground thaws out either in the winter from a thaw or in the spring. That's when this the root crops get mushy and they rot. So, wait till you know early late October early November whenever it seems to be appropriate, then you put your material on you can use, I use these velcro straps there and some boards to hold it all in place. And literally with root crops I've gone out there, and it gets buried in snow of course which is a great another great insulator. But I've gone out in January February dug through all of that find some carrots and find some parsnips pull them out.  The beats I like I was mentioning I don't have as great success with those lasting too long but it's still worth doing to get them right up and through the holidays. For extending the cabbage family broccoli cauliflower cabbage type of crops into the fall and maybe even into the winter, you can put row covers over them. So this is a mesh that I use for mostly for insect control. But what you want for temperature control is something like the remake material this is one that's the standard remake floating row cover. It'll protect plants down to 28 degrees. There's another one called the winter blanket, which will protect plants down to 24 degrees. And that's assuming you have plants that will be killed at freezing. So if you have a winter blanket on there and you have hoops over it and you have your arugula and your spinach underneath it, or you have some cabbage underneath there, or some broccoli or cauliflower. You can be amazed how long that they will last, especially if we have a warm fall which we tend to be having more and more of the summer kind of creeps into September now, and fall creeps into November and December. So you can maybe even get to the holiday season in New Year's, having some of these crops that are worth growing out there, even some of them like Brussels sprouts, I've picked frozen Brussels sprouts and still cook them and they still taste fine. Again, the key is not to let them thought but pick them frozen and then just cook them immediately. So those are some ways to store vegetables fresh in your garden, but most people think of preserving as canning freezing and drying so let me cover those topics next. For canning, I love to can and we do a bunch of canning of different things. Mostly I can tomatoes, my wife, Wendy does, she's canned some grape juice there and she'll, she'll make pickles and jelly beans and things of that nature. The nice thing about canning is even though it does require some equipment and some time to do it and you have to do it right to make sure it's safe. But once you have a can of tomatoes that's done properly, it can last well over a year. In fact, we're still eating tomatoes that we can last summer. We still have some jars left this year and when we pop them open and use them, they taste fine. Because they've been sealed in such a way that they really will last a long time and they hold a lot of their nutrients better than freezing and drying wood. So what to can this is really my short list based on what we do. There are a lot of different things to can and as they talk about canning freezing and drying. There are resources which I'll show you in a minute that'll talk about all the specifics. I'm not going to get into how to can beans, how to can squash, you know, all of that. But we can tomatoes based on my Italian heritage and canning tomatoes with my mom. Cucumbers, like I said, making pickles and beans like dilly beans, little onions, baby onions are really fun to can and peppers are nice to can, especially hot peppers. So those are all the types that we will can, depending upon the year that we're having. But like I said, there's a lot of other ones you can can too, but these are pretty simple to use. Here's some of those resources that I was talking about. And again, I'll leave this up a little bit so you can write these down. The National Center for Home Food Preservation is a USDA site, a website, and you can just search for that and put it in your Google search. And you'll find it and that has all kinds of information on preserving canning, freezing, drying, preserving them in different ways, dehydrating, you know, all of that. One of the go-to books I've used over the years is the Ball Blue Book. That's from Ball Canning Jars, which is what we normally use. Speaking of canning, if you're interested in canning, one of the tips I would give you for it is make sure you buy canning lids early in the season, or in fact, stock up on them if you can. Because if you go out there now and try to buy canning lids, and I know this, because we just checked, they're not around. The hardware stores or grocery stores, no one has canning lids. They're all sold out. So anyway, the Ball Blue Book goes through all the different kinds of vegetables and fruits and herbs and hot to can them, freeze them, dry them. As does Putting Food Buy. Oh, by the way, the Ball Blue Book has just been updated maybe four years ago, so it's fairly current. Putting Food Buy is a book by Beatrix Vaughn that's been a classic, still in our bookshelf. That one is a little older, but I still refer to it every once in a while. Just kind of check, yeah, how long should I boil my tomatoes, that kind of thing. So these are good resources to have when you're thinking about how to can beans, or how do I freeze corn, or how do I dry my basil, that kind of thing. These will be good resources for all the individual plants you have. As far as my canning tips, I'll give you a few, talk about canning with Angelina, my mom. In fact, I didn't really can, she just did all the work, but I was hanging around watching her. For some reason, she always seemed to pick the hottest, most humid, Connecticut day to can tomatoes, because you know canning tomatoes is in a hot water bath. So you have a big pot and you fill it up with water and you boil that water, so it gets really steamy. And she always liked to do it that way. She would can pints or quarts, you know if you have a lot of produce quarts are a good way to can or preserve a lot of them quickly. Often I will do that kind of at the end of the season just because I've got tons of pints already and I just want to use those tomatoes I have. So you can put a lot of them in there. You want to get fresh lids of course every time you don't want to reuse lids because just by opening that lid you're creating a little indentation so it won't seal properly. So next time around, clean your jars wash them out really well before using them, and then gather everything together so then gather your tomatoes I usually try to wash the tomatoes a little bit.  And she would put basil leaves in that was another little tip that she often would share she'd throw some basil leaves in to add a little flavor to the sauce, and then seal it and then put them in a hot water bath for the appointed time I think it's 40 minutes for pints and 45 minutes for the quarts. And that's pretty much it. One of the tips about putting them into the big pot of water is that don't put them in when the water is boiling so don't go from a jar that's at room temperature. Put them in to boiling water because that will crack the jar so put them in as the water is heating up. And so they get accustomed to that warming water and then when they get to the boiling point so they'll already be adjusted to it. Put salt in them that was another thing, half teaspoon of salt in the pint and a teaspoon in the court that helps preserve them as well. So that's pretty much it for canning, and then you pull them out store them and like I said, they last for over a year and you can preserve a lot of other kinds of vegetables this way as well. I'm just really familiar with doing tomatoes so that's the one I kind of come back to. Another way to can or other way to preserve is to freeze and we have a chest freezer in our basement and we're freezing fruits, rhubarb, peppers, basil is go around there you can see what's on the top there. We're freezing juices we're freezing all kinds of stuff and freezing is really nice because you can really preserve a lot of different produce that way. Now the things that freeze well for us and this is again a personal experience I know other people will freeze beans and freeze summer squash and freeze things like that and and have a good success with them. We just haven't done that or if we've done it we haven't had great success. So freeze and well for us and why we do it is that these are easy we don't even blanch these. So we'll chunk up tomatoes and put them in bags and freeze them. Oh, that was the last thing back to the canning I knew it would come back to me. Speaking of tomatoes when you're canning tomatoes don't worry about slipping the skins off. That's something my mom always would spend a lot of time putting the tomatoes in the hot water bath and then the pool bath and slipping the skins off and then canning them. So many of that we put them in skins and all, and when we're ready to use them in the winter, we pour out that jar into a blender, and it's pulse the blender a little bit that'll break up all the skins you'll never know when you're making that sauce or put it in a soup that there were skins there it's a real easy way to get around doing that whole slipping the skin thing. Anyway, back to freezing. I knew I'd remember if I just get another moment back to freezing the produce so tomatoes freeze well peppers I love to freeze peppers like the ones here. Because I will cut them and stuff them and then I will bake them in the winter and they make a great stuff pepper. If you bake them when they're still frozen stuff with whatever materials you want to put in there. They make a great stuff pepper sweet corn we buy locally and we chuck the take the ears off or the kernels off the ears. I guess that's how you say it we scrape them off right and put them in bags and just freeze them we don't again we don't blanch it we don't do anything we just freeze them raw. Winter squash is another one if we have a lot of butternut squash or Hubbard or whatever squash it is. We will peel them will chunk them up and freeze them and finally leaks is another one that we will freeze, because it freezes really well and leaks are another vegetable you can leave outside into the winter. Because even when they're frozen I've taken a frozen leak, brought it inside threw it in a pot and made potato leek soup from it and it was great. So those are the ones that we've had experience with and we like to freeze because they're easy and we like the flavor of them when we're using them. The traditional freezing process though does call for blanching so if you're freezing beans, for example, or some of these other vegetables. You may have to blanch them blanching means boiling them in water for maybe a minute or two, just enough to kill any kind of bacteria that might be on them, and to kind of stop them from stop their process. Then you will put them in cold water to stop them from cooking too much dry them out and then put them in the bags and freeze them so if you're trying that out if you look in a lot of the directions that are out there. That's usually what's included in a lot of these vegetables is doing a little blanching beforehand. Another way to freeze or can is to process the vegetables first and then freeze or can them and we do that of course with pesto pesto is a great thing to make you can can it we've done that you can freeze it we've done that. It's nice to have pesto in the winter when you break out some pasta and you've been busy all day and you really just want to have a quick dinner. In January or February it's nice to take some pesto out of the freezer or crack open a lid of some pesto and have that fresh garden taste in this from back from the summer. So, as I said you can can it but we the way we freeze it is we freeze it in ice cube trays which is a cool way to do it. So you just make your pesto put them in ice cube trays freeze them, then after they're frozen pop them out of the trays put them in plastic bags and then you've got these chunks of pesto.  I know a number of people who will chop up herbs and do a similar kind of thing, have kind of an herb blend that they will take and just throw in a soup pot. So they have it there and using ice cube trays is a simple way to do it doesn't take up too much space, because you're taking them out of the trays and then putting them in bags salsa is something you can. I've never frozen salsa but I'm probably sure you could do it. You freeze tomato sauce so why not salsa, but canning it is a nice way to use up tomatoes and tomatoes and and onions and making those all really readily available through the winter. Also juicing if you have a ton of produce and you have access to a juicer. It's a great way to use a lot of carrots that you're otherwise would just kind of rod or just never get to use, make juice out of them. But there's more things you can juice you can juice cabbages celery apples parsley cucumbers you can juice a whole bunch of things a lemon to make lemon juices and beat juices and cucumber juices and tomato juice.  Actually Wendy still remembers it fondly like cracking it open in January or February having that fresh taste of the garden in the juice. So what you do is you make your juice and then you can can it or you can even freeze it to for that matter, and have that juice ready in the winter when you want it. You can also ferment vegetables and this has become much more popular it used to be an old fashioned way of preserving a lot of vegetables and it's kind of come full circle for a number of reasons. One is very easy to do, and to it's also very good for your gut it's a very good probiotic for your digestion. It's very simple to do and I've actually done this with our niece showed us how to how to ferment vegetables and it's very easy. You can chunk it up or maybe you cut it up into shredded and however you want to do it, and you can use cabbages you can see from this previous slide cabbages beat celery all kinds of different materials. You pack it in really tightly into that jar with some salt to put some salt in there and then you fill it up with water, you make sure it's submerged, then you cap it and you seal it you're not canning it you're just sealing it and leave it out room temperature for a couple weeks. Another thing is that an anaerobic process happens where lactobacillus which is actually a good guy it's one of those microbes that are good guys starts breaking down the vegetable that's there, creating that pickling kind of effect like kimchi would be or sauerkraut is another fermented vegetable. And so then after a couple weeks after that happens and you put it into the refrigerator and you can store it there for a month or two, just taking it out as you needed to have a little snack with it, mix it in with salads mix it in with other kinds of vegetables. And as a probiotic because of that lactobacteria is still active. It helps with digestion and any kind of intestinal distress you might have. So fermenting vegetables is a really nice way to do that. And I know that city market in Burlington often will have classes on how to ferment vegetables and so you can look around and often community centers co ops places like that may have classes in the fall where you can learn how to do these things hands on to do a lot of fun. So, another way to do it and the final way I want to talk about is drying so you could if you live in the Southwest, just chop up your hot peppers and put them out in the sun and they would dry. We don't have that weather conditions that make it that easy to happen here because it's so humid and rainy. Things would mold before they would dry, but you can dry them on the plant so what I do with some of our hot peppers we have them growing in an unheated greenhouse is I just leave them on the plant and I will just leave them until they actually dry on the plant, then bring them in continue drying them indoors, especially once we start using wood heat that dries things out in the atmosphere in their house. That dries them out like crush them and I have them as a crushed red pepper sprinkle for the whole winter. In fact, I still am using the ones from last year, even though normally drying anything about six months or so into it loses a lot of its pungency. It still tastes great. I don't know, maybe I just gotten used to them, but when the new crop is ready this year I'll throw out that one composted and put some fresh dried peppers in there. So, you can dry the vegetables when most people think of drying herbs when you're thinking of drying different plants and Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, all our lavender are all great herbs to dry. So this time of year you're going to have plants that are pretty woody so hopefully you've cut back some of those plants a little bit so that they have some new growth because it's a new growth that's going to have the best oils the best pungency best flavor to them. So cut some of those stems, hang them like they did here upside down, it could be indoors or in a shed somewhere where it's bright, but not direct sun, the airy it's really needs to be airy and let them really dry out really get crunchy. Then you just break them up, put them in a jar, seal that jar, and then watch it for a couple days. If they're not dry enough that jar will have condensation on the inside and then you know that you can't continue drying them that they will mold. So, but if they seem like they're okay after you put them in a jar, then you can just store them and again as I said up to six weeks or six months, excuse me, six months of drying them is what you're looking at. You can dry basil a lot of times we dry basil we actually freeze basil leaves I think I showed you that in that freezer, but we take individual basil leaves put them on a tray, freeze them and then throw them all in a bag that's a great way to have basil flavor in the winter we need to take a handful of leaves and throw them in a soup or throw them in a pasta whatever you're making. And if you really want to get it to dry and you can always get a dehydrator and that is an upfront cost of course, but dehydrating vegetables in a dehydrator is easy we have a sister in law who does that and she's always sharing her zucchini chips with kale chips and all kinds of other things in tomatoes you can have roasted or dried tomatoes that are really nice to have it in sauces and sandwiches and things in the winter. So, there are other ways to do this you can drive them in your oven, but it takes a long time and you have to have just the right oven to do that so again, it's kind of thing you want to do a little research for before you go out there and try to out some of these different techniques. And the store dry storing all these dried herbs like I mentioned about six months is usually longevity for most of these types of herbs or any kind of dried vegetables that you have. After that they're really kind of losing a lot of their nutritional quality and also some of their flavor. So hopefully this is giving you a good idea of how to store some of the produce you have in your garden whether it be root crops or winter squash, whether you're storing them in the house or storing them in the garden, even extending the season like on Brussels sprouts and broccoli things like that nature and some of the greens, or if you're canning freezing and drying them. So thank you all for coming I appreciate you supporting hands and supporting all the things that we've been doing this summer with all the different classes, including this putting food by class, and hopefully next summer you'll be better gardeners, you'll have more productive gardens, and we may even be back so stay tuned and thank you all very much.


Item Number SCP-1517-JP Object Class Safe Euclid, Provisional Special Containment Procedures All discovered SCP-1517-JP instances are to be brought into containment by a mobile task force from a nearby containment site. Following this, the entity is to be contained in a nearby site's reinforced humanoid containment unit and constantly monitored by means of video recording. Archived Containment Procedures Special Containment Procedures SCP-1517-JP is to be contained in a reinforced humanoid containment unit at Site-DE ██████. Constant monitoring is to be carried out by means of video recording. Description SCP-1517-JP is a group of military combat humanoid droids measured 1.81 meters in height and massing 155 kilograms. Currently, the Foundation has contained two instances, respectively designated Dash 1 and Dash 2. See Addendum 5 While obscured to the age of wear, the remnants of a Hakenkreuz painted on the SCP-1517-JP's right shoulder are recognizable. The form of the Swastika used by Nazi Germany. The following inscription is present on the back of each object. W-200 Ross, 1940 Based on the contents, it can be determined that these objects were created by Mr. Ross, the leader of the group of interests, Forth Reich, during his work for the Third Reich. SCP-1517-JP are primarily composed of an alloy, closely similar to high-grade Duralumin. The object's eyes are made of glass, and are suspected to be capable of sight. SCP-1517-JP is entirely mechanical, and active entities are capable of autonomous movement. As SCP-1517-JP instances are highly resilient, inspection of their internals is difficult. In addition, as they possess a slow-acting ability for self-repair, the object is impossible to fully neutralize. Some of the SCP-1517-JP currently in containment are in an inactive state. Inspection of the interior of these entities has shown that there is an empty space in their chest, which indicates that their power source has been removed. Under the feet of Nazi Germany in 1945, SCP-1517-JP-1 in an inactive state was retrieved by the main foundation. Up until the discovery of SCP-1517-JP-2, SCP-1517-JP-1 was thought to be an isolated anomaly. Addendum 1 From the retrieved documentation, prior to becoming active, SCP-1517-JP-1 possessed the following abilities, artificial intelligence, the ability to fire machine guns attached to both arms, a high degree of physical ability, further resurgence of the object is planned. Addendum 2 On 1946, while investigating post-war Japan, the Foundation discovered a similar object to SCP-1517-JP-1 in a forest in Iwo Jima and moved to Site-81AZ. Now a part of Ogasawara's subprefecture, Tokyo. Following this, the entity discovered in Germany was designated SCP-1517-JP-1 and the newly discovered instance in Japan was designated Dash-2. SCP-1517-JP-2 was discovered to possess traces of an Nishoki painted on its left shoulder and was in an inactive state similar to SCP-1517-JP-1. The Rising Sun Flag of Imperial Japan Based on the area surrounding its retrieval location, it is suspected that SCP-1517-JP-2 was in use in a combat capacity. Investigations ongoing Between February 19, 1945 and March 26, 1945, the island was a site of a battle Iwo Jima between the Japanese and American armies. Addendum 3 Following investigation revealed that SCP-1517-JP-2 was sent to the Empire of Japan at the signing of the tripartite pact between Germany, Italy, and Japan. Following this, SCP-1517-JP-2 was under the management of the Imperial Japanese army and was used in combat multiple times. Addendum 4 With this discovery, the Foundation carried out an interview with a former Nazi scientist. Interview E. Vladimir Holman Interviewer. Agent. Marks. Note, Vladimir Holman was involved with Nazi scientific research projects. Following the arrival of the Foundation, he was taken into custody as he was thought to be involved in the creation of various anomalous objects. Begin recording. Agent. Marks. Let's start the interview. Holman. Understood. Do you know about SCP-1517-JP, or rather, I believe you called it W-200? Yes, in fact it was a collaboration between Ross and myself. Please tell me more. At 1940, Julian from the Toltenkamp asked me to make a duplicate of a robot for him. The same year, I reported that I had successfully duplicated it, and the same day it was decided that I'd work with Ross. Cassius Julian, a member of the 3rd SS Panzer Division, who is close to Mr. Ross, appears to have surrendered to the Allies on May 2, 1945, but information on this is unclear. Refers to the 3rd SS Panzer Division. The same day? Yes, either way, Ross seemed to be involved in making droids for a decent while before that. However, in order to do that, he needed people, experience, and a prototype, and at that point he was looking for people. Though I don't know if it's just my conceit, he might have marked me since long ago. Go on. After that, Ross and I made the W-200. Ross had put a duplication mechanism on them, so that they could be manufactured infinitely. After the practical test, though it was just a prototype, we started to use them as disposable weapons. Perhaps we produced them in the right numbers. I see. But if you were to make so many of them, it drained the country's coffers, no? Would that not be a problem? No, the party immediately saw that. However, Ross immediately started work on another kind of droid. At that point, Julian had another idea. Go on. He suggested we sell the W-200 to other groups, and we took his idea. Who did you sell them to? There weren't that many of them, but they were quite large-scale. The main ones were Vermetius and Marshall, Carter, and Dark. But we also made sales of smaller ones. When sales were hard, we had to sell them off via hearsay and hide their origins. And also, when we made the pact with Japan and Italy, as a gift of good will, we sent a W-200 each company. Soon enough, the W-200 were not used for much, other than as a product. And did that help the combat prospects of the Nazis? It let us expand our territory in 41, I believe. After that, we used the money from sales to fund more robot production and droid research. That proposal really gave the higher-ups a lot of material to do that. But in the end, we failed. We were attacked by the Soviets, and the droids were destroyed. There can't be too many of them left. That's all I know. As for where the last W-200 went, I'm sorry, but I don't know. Thank you for the information. We'll end it here. End recording. From the information obtained, it was later determined that the object was used to project reverse in the reversal. Project reverse in the reversal was a project under the direct leadership of Hitler to create robot squadrons in order to protect important bases and higher-ranking Nazi officials, as well as for rapid maneuverability and combat. Addendum 5 Following the interview, the Foundation conducted a further investigation of the information retrieved from the Nazi science program. Following this, suppression of various groups of interest indicated in the documents led to the retrieval of 17 further SCP-1517-JP instances, both active and inactive, which have been designated SCP-1517-JP-3 through 19 and stored in nearby containment sites. As active instances are confirmed to exist, the containment procedures have been revised and the object class has been raised to Euclid. Further changes of object class are in consideration.


The OG YouTuber Hank Green has made a name for himself in the education space on YouTube teaching the next generation. But this week, he accidentally proved God's existence. You won't want to miss this. I'll start about the fact that it's weird that your hair doesn't grow up to your ear. I'm not missing about when I tell you that this is one of the like biggest, most exciting active areas of biological research out there. Not just like the fact that you don't have hair that grows all the way to your ear and like your hair knows where to stop, but like where everything knows where to stop and what to be. Like one of the most mind blowing things about a human body is that you can make you can. A person can be like eight feet tall or like four feet tall, but all their organs still fit inside. There's not like a bunch of empty space in a tall person and like how does my lips know to be lips and how does like the inside of my mouth is different from that and the tongue is different from that. Why doesn't hair grow out of any of those parts? Why don't I grow hair on the inside of my body? When we start to look at this is fascinating and very weird how bodies organize themselves so that we don't accidentally grow like a heart on our elbow. The fact that we exist at all. So cool. I'm not sure where Hank Green lines up on the whole Christianity versus atheism debate, but even just watching this video, it continues to blow my mind that some people think that all of this came about by random chance processes.  Like imagine if you like won the lottery every day for like a million years. That's how lucky it is. But like times that by like a billion. To me, when I look at the marvelous intricacy of our world, it testifies to the detail oriented creator that we have. You see the similarly constructed pattern sequences all throughout creation and it testifies to me the signature of the sculptor. Proverbs 19 one says that the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of his hands. If we look at this from an evidentialist standpoint, there is plenty of evidence to demonstrate that God exists. Well, not enough evidence, my dear boy. That's exactly the response I would expect because it's not about the evidence. We don't need more evidence. That's not our primary problem. Romans one points out our problem. The fact that we know God exists, but we simply suppress that truth in our unrighteousness. You see our primary problem isn't that we don't have enough evidence to believe in God. It's that we placed ourselves as judge over God and that our sin has blinded us to reality. You guys know that song Amazing Grace, right? I once was blind, but now I see. Sin blinds us. In Psalm it says the Lord opens the eyes of the blind and lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves the righteous. Okay, so let's get this straight. God is the one who opens eyes to see and we are the vessels that proclaim his truth to a world that lives in spiritual darkness. Does this mean that we shouldn't use apologetics and only preach the gospel? No, I love apologetics. I'm passionate about apologetics and I think it's important for every Christian to know how to defend their faith. But when too much of our attention is focused on formulating the perfect argument or coming up with that one piece of evidence that's going to convince them we're missing the point. The heart of their problem is the problem of their heart. It is deceitfully wicked above all else who can understand it. Sin says, for all of sin and fallen short of the glory of God, we have all fallen short of God's good and perfect standard. But God in his loving kindness gave us a way to escape the shackles of sin, pride and self-worship. God has the power to transform you from the inside out to make you into a new creation from a sinner to a saint. No evidence could do that, only him. This was the game changer for me. Simply believing that there is a God won't save you. Believing that the world was created by intelligent design won't save you. Believing in Jesus and him alone is the only thing that will save you. If I could summarize the main idea of this video into one sentence, it would be this. Apologetics is a pit stop. It's not a destination. The last thing that we want is to get lost in the weeds and having the same debates over and over again while neglecting what this whole thing is about. Who we're trying to get people to see. Who we're trying to point people to. What it should be clothing our mission and everything that we do and directing our steps. I'd love to hear your guys thoughts about apologetics and God's existence in the comments down below. If you like these videos I'd ask you to subscribe because I'm putting out a new one every single day. A huge shout out to my patrons on Patreon that keep this ministry going and growing if you want to support what I'm doing and helping people follow Jesus daily. Head to the link in my description. Thanks again guys and I'll see you next time.


Respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam, and the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you, welcome to the fourth episode of the Treaties of Rights. In this episode, we will start with the right of the private part. Regarding the private part, the Imam, peace be upon him, has said, and the right of your private part is that you should protect it from everything that is unlawful for you and help it by lowering your eyes. This is certainly the best way to help it. And you should also remember death often and threaten yourself with God and try to make yourself fear God. Maintaining one's decency and receiving help and doing so are possible by God's help. There is no strength or power but in him. When Imamist Sajjad Zain, Abidin, peace and blessings be upon him, means by protecting your private parts is covering it from other people's eyes. Consider the following verse and say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty. The Holy Quran, Al-Nur, Chapter 24, Verse 31. Imam Sadaq, peace be upon him, said, guarding their modesty means protecting themselves against fornication in all verses of the Quran in this regard except for the above verse in which it means to protect their private parts from being seen. Sexual instincts are among the major forces in man to derive pleasure in life. These strong instincts attract men and women towards each other. The love they have for each other makes them work hard to unite with one another. That is why sex and marriage have always been a hot topic of discussion on all religious and scientific gatherings. There have been many theories related to this issue. Some of these theories are extreme while some others are normal. Those who believe in sexual freedom, including the followers of Fried, have adopted an extreme theory. Fried, whose ideas are based on sex, has extended out of the domain of influence of sexual instincts to affect many other natural instincts that are in reality very independent of sex. He considers this instinct to be the main foundation of human culture and civilization. Fried thinks that seeking sexual pleasure and fulfillment is not limited to adulthood and exists throughout our lifetime.   He thinks that when sexual desires are not fulfilled due to social restrictions, they are forced into the subconscious where they lend themselves to severe stress and psychological illness. Fried believes that all the varied forms of psychological problems are rooted in the sexual instinct. Thus, a psychoanalyst must become very aware of the person's experiences in order to treat him. Fried's opponents disagree with his idea that sexual instincts are the root of all psychological illnesses. Fried's mistake lies in his considering unusual sexual emotions to be the source of nervous or psychological illnesses. He fails to consider the person's social, economic, or material environment. For example, when a simple worker has psychological problems due to lack of income, poverty, and hunger, his illness is not rooted in sex. To treat him, we must provide him with better work opportunities, not satiate him sexually. The followers of the church, some religions, some philosophers, and some teachers of ethics have considered sex to be an animal act and have called it filthy. By going to the other extreme, they have totally abandoned sex. St. Jerome always used to say, let us chop off the tree of marriage by celibacy. In the church, we see great scholars like Paulus, who was one of the heads of the church. He never married and advised all men and women not to marry. In his first treaty's address to Caranthian, we read, About what you wrote to me, it is better for men not to touch women. However, in order to avoid fornication, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. The husband must fulfill his woman's rights. The wife should also fulfill her husband's rights. I wish all men were like me, but each person has a divinely given gift. Some are this way, others are that way. Thus, I tell those who are single and the widowed women that it is best for them to remain like me.  Islam condemns both extremist views. The commander of the faithful, Lameer al-Mumine, in Peace of Bliss, be upon him, has considered going to either extreme to be out of ignorance. He said, the ignorant is always going to either extreme. Taking a moderate stance regarding sexual instincts is liked by Allah and according to the nature of our creation.  The law and social ethics support the fulfillment of this natural instinct in a moderate degree, and the means for its proper fulfillment are provided. In the method that is supported by God's prophets, people are instructed that Allah has encouraged people to get married. On the other hand, any form of sexual deviation or being loose is seriously fought with, and human societies are advised against these things, which we will talk about when we come back. Stay tuned. The Almighty Allah has expressed one of the main characteristics of believing men or women in the following verse. Who abstained from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond or the captives, whom their right hands possess for, in their case, they are free from blame, but those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors. The Holy Quran, Al-Mu'minun verse 5 to 7. Islam has ordered its followers to get married, since sexual instincts are the most difficult to control. Islam has ordered us to make love with our legal wives. This implies both permanent and temporary wives. There is also a mention of the misconception by the Christians who considered any sexual contact to be wrong, and went so far that the Catholic priests and nuns did not marry all their life long and considered marriage to be contrary to their spiritual position. The noble prophet of Islam, Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him and his pure family has paid attention to sexual instincts in his teachings and has instructed his followers not to follow a celibacy.  One of my traditions is marriage. Allah's prophet peace and blessings be upon him also said, Oh young people, any of you who have the means to marry should do so, since this is the best way to protect your eyes from corrupt and treacherous looks and guard the sex organs from sin and immodesty. Whoever does not have the means to get married should fast, since fasting can reduce lust. Islam encourages its followers to establish a family and considers the family to be the most beautiful thing in the sight of God. The noble prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him said, There is no establishment dearer to the God Almighty than marriage. Therefore we must speed up the establishment of marriage. Imam As-Sadat alaihi salam narrated that once the prophet peace be upon him and his holy family climbed up on the pulpit and after praising God, he said, Oh people, Gabriel came to me from the threshold of God and said, Virgin girls are like the fruits on a tree. When they get ripe, they should be picked up else they will be spoiled due to exposure to the rays of the sun and they will be scattered about due to the blowing of the wind. When girls mature and feel sexual inclinations, there is no cure for them but a husband. If they do not get married, they are not secure from corruption since they are people and are not immune from making mistakes. The holy Quran has considered the chastity of men and women and has said, There are your garments and ye are their garments. The holy Quran al-Baqarah chapter 2 verse 187 Our garments cover up our sex organs and protect us against many bad conditions such as heat, cold and bad weather. Marriage will help us stay clean and pure. The noble prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said, Whoever likes to meet God in a clean and pure state should protect his chastity by means of marriage. Those who have the means to get married and establish a family in order to save the Muslims from committing sins should do so. Islam blames those who do not do so for various reasons. We read that Muhammad peace be upon him narrated that a woman told Imam al-Baqarah. Imam al-Baqarah asked, What do you mean by that? She said, I intend to never get married. Imam al-Baqarah peace and blessings be upon him asked, Why? She said, In order to attain nobility. Then Imam al-Baqarah said, Forget it. If there was any nobility in not getting married, then the blessed Fatima al-Zahra would be more suitable to have recognized this nobility and there is no one who can supersede her in nobility. From these traditions we can realize that the leaders in Islam have advised men and women against celibacy so that they remain chaste. Those who do not establish a family may commit adultery and fall into disaster.  The Holy Quran chapter 17 verse 32. This short verse stresses three important points. One, the verse does not state do not commit adultery. Rather it says do not even approach this wicked deed. This verse shows that although adultery is a very bad deed, there are some other deeds that might ultimately lead to it. Acts like flirting, looking, nudity, not wearing the veil, reading dirty books, viewing pornography and going to centers of corruption or being in a private place with another person of the opposite sex are all preparatory actions which might lead to adultery. Two, this verse clearly expresses the extreme degree of wickedness of adultery. Three, this verse states that adultery will also pave the way for other forms of corruption in the society. The first problem with adultery is that it will lead to social disorder. The relationship of the father and the children will become unclear. This clear father-child relationship will provide lifelong support for the children. Adultery will eliminate this order. Let us think for one moment that adultery is permitted in the whole world and marriage is abolished. In such a world, none of the children born will be supported. There is also no love for these children. The love that is so critical in the raising of people who will not be criminals later. Then the whole world will turn into a big zoo where all forms of violence prevail. Adultery is also a cause of the personal and social struggles between those who run the centers of corruption. The detailed account of what goes on in massage parlors and sex homes shows that many other crimes are committed where adultery is practiced. It has been proven by theory and in practice that adultery leads to many contagious sexual transmitted diseases, STDs, many of which are life-threatening. Adultery is usually followed by abortion since the women who committed adultery never liked to keep the baby. They even think it will be an obstacle to their future practice of adultery. We should not forget that the purpose behind marriage is not satiating our sexual instincts. Rather, cooperating in the establishment of a joint life, the achievements of peace of mind, having a companion, raising children, and co-operation in many social affairs are also major goals in marriage. These are not possible unless men and women are dedicated to each other through marriage and adultery is forbidden. Mama Sajjad Kisbe upon him has expressed ways to remain chaste. The first thing to do is not view forbidden scenes. The second way is to remember death a lot. Now let us look at the following verse.  This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape. The Holy Quran Surah Al-Qaaf chapter 50 verse 19. Death is like a state of being drunk. One will get so anxious when he realizes that he is going to be transferred from this world into the other world. He might even lose his mind realizing that he has to cut off all ties with this world with which he is used to. And he will enter a new world. Then he will be covered with fear and experience a feeling similar to being drunk. With this we conclude this episode. My dear respected viewers, be sure to tune in next time for another episode on the series of treaties of rights of Mama Sajjad Kisbe upon him. Let us pray for the blessed reappearance of Al-Mahdi. Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.


This is where we are at. Now last time you will recall and if you don't recall we'll just kind of recap it so don't worry about it. We were down here in the liability area and we were talking about the fact that we had the short term and long term liabilities for the loans. So we had each of our loans. We wanted to break out on their own loan account for the internal reporting purposes and then we put each of those multiple loans under a parent account of loan payable. That works well internally because then I can tie each of those loans out to their respective amortization schedules and track them nicely and accordingly. But some of the loans might have a short term and long term portion as this second loan down here did which is necessary for external reporting purposes which might not be necessary for small businesses who are doing like a schedule C because they might not have the external reporting needs just needing the income statement for their tax preparation. But oftentimes you need to break out for external reporting on the balance sheet short term and long term. It's also useful to try to see if you can cover your current assets with your current liabilities. So we have to break that out. So we did that here with the adjusting entry for this particular loan having a short term portion of the 13108 which we could see here which is the sum of the next 12 12 reductions to the to the principal payment amounts not including the interest portion and then down here we got the long term amount which according to our amortization is where we will be which you could get to where we are now minus the short term or it's also this number where we will be after a year from the current point in time. So now the problem is well that's correct we got to be correct as of the cutoff date but the adjusting department can't stop there because now when I go back to the accounting department accounting side of things I've got this short term and long term portion I can't just tie out one loan balance to the amortization table every time I make a payment I would need to if I'm going to use this short term and long term method for this particular loan readjust the short term and long term portion that's way too tedious no one wants to do that that's why we have an adjusting entry process in the first place therefore we're going to reverse our adjusting entry to put everything back in one account as of the first day of the next period so that we can get things right as of the cutoff date and get things back to where they're right for the bookkeeping standpoint and the ease of data input for for the normal accounting process with the reversing entry after the cutoff date all right so let's go into this February just to look at the loan and see how we're going to reverse it if I go into it here there's the there's the adjusting entry we made and of course we could just reverse it entirely so you might even like take a screenshot of this and then paste it somewhere and then do the exact opposite of it now that I see that in the other way you could do it is with a with a register so so I'm going to close this back out since there's only two accounts affected let's use the register method

When he stayed there with me with mum and dad until he decided we ought to go over to Greenford, and lived there. So he lived there and moved over to there. Was that after the war that he moved? Yes.

He didn't discuss what he'd done in intelligence. Of course he didn't. This is more confusing because I don't know that much about what he did in RAF. I don't know. I don't know how to do I really. But it might be that he did work at the same time in intelligence. Yes because he used to say he'd go in this diary at spots. He says I've been to the nursery today. So the nursery must have been some name, some office that he had to go report to. Right. The nursery. The nursery. He still managed to get it down. And he was thrilled to know when he was... Because he got married and he's written it in days. It's the happiest day of my life so that was nice to read that. But he didn't say much when he was born. I think he was talking about it before he was born. But he didn't have a lot to say after he was born. That's what he was doing. Because when he came home he told me that some of the officers had photographs of their children.  Well I don't know whether it was to Eric. But some of the officers they might say it. I don't know how they could all survive. Because Grandad didn't really have an officer type background. No, he didn't. His dad had brothers. And his Grandad took them to Canada. They had to bring Alex back because he was too young. I said, well how on earth could he afford the passage? So I don't know whether it was Eric or someone else told me that it could have been like this. That they did go in from England to Australia didn't they? Had a package. And that was to Canada. But this was to Canada. And that was Eric's family. Yes, that's Eric's. Grandad did, from air. Because he used to go and stay with them I think in air. And they were only miners. So none of them was educated. What coal miners? And I think that Grandad didn't want the boys to go in that business. Oh right. Oh so they went to Canada to do mining. Because Alex couldn't stay because he was too young. But Alex fought in the first world war? Yes. That's when you met some Mrs Mossie. I forgot my name. Devinish her name. So her name was Devinish. Devinish? Devinish. That's her first name? Oh no, that's her name. Before she was married, yes. Devinish. Funny how her name just come to me like that. And I think she was an. I think she was an an. Because I was just, it was Elsie. She was just coming back to me. Elsie went to Australia. And Elsie and her husband only had Alan. The one son that rings me up occasionally from Australia. Yeah. So they met during the first world war? Yes. I don't know whether I've got a lovely photograph of her in this kilt. Oh, because he was sent home injured? I think so, I don't really know. My dad was injured, but that's when he met my mum. Oh, in the first world war? Yes. And this was, I don't know the names. Because I always knew his name was Nana Marshall. Yeah, Marshall. I didn't know her surname. Because sometimes you have to give your mother's maiden name. Yeah. I'd have to write them. My stand won't remember it now. But I'll remember it once upon a time. Oh, but their first names? Florence, she was Florence. Florence and your dad's name was? Aubrey. Aubrey. Marshall. Aubrey, Roberts, Marshall. Arm. Yeah. And your mum's name was Florence. I don't know her other name. But she didn't have a middle name. I don't know much about mothers.  Right, yeah. And he came to a halt with my mum's people. Oh, really? Yeah. Because I thought we didn't ask things very much. Yeah. And I'm wondering if her mother, because her father was a merchant, a sea man. Yeah. And when he came to London, he was seeing another woman. Yeah. And now I didn't want to do with him. Yeah. So perhaps it had been something when they were younger. I don't know. Yeah. Because I think she was putting her children's home. Her auntie came and looked after her. And I think she ran away. Oh, do you know which children's home? No, it would be more like Middlesbrough up that part of the world. Is that where they're from? Well, I think it's Middlesbrough. I don't know where to play that. Because that's where she met my dad, I think in the hospital up there. In Middlesbrough? I'm sure it was Middlesbrough, one of the northern places. I don't know. As a day. Alex came to a halt. He couldn't get any further with my mum. With that side of the family.  Yeah, yeah. You'd go through the records. That's her name. His name's Alex, as well as Eric's dad's name. Yeah. And then it's funny, because after the war, jumping back again, just with Eric. Dad was saying that he only remembered lately that Eric would show dad, show him things. They were just... You couldn't quite put your finger on them, but they were just slightly odd. I don't know if you ever mentioned this, but it's like he'd say things like, if you're on a train platform and you want to know when someone's going to get on a train. All you have to do is turn your back. But you know when the train's coming in because the people move forward. And it's just probably these little tips that were just about tailing people. That's how we talked to him. And he took him to Somerset House. Oh, yeah. Because Ian was a little boy. I would know how far the Christmas knew. So he thought that was an idea. And Eric took him to Somerset House. And then they found out that my mum was celebrating the birthday two days too early. So that's how he could say to Ian, that's how far the Christmas knows where you all are. That was a way of showing him, too. That was there. Yeah, funny. Because I think sometimes your granddad was quite... I'd say cruel to Ian. Because he didn't get on academically, like your granddad was capable of doing. I think that he's got to him sometimes. But then he was ever so good. Eric would go with him to the schools. And I want to know why. They interviewed your dad in one of the schools. I think they wanted to know why he hadn't got on. You see, we weren't all like granddad. I don't think he was... Because Jean comes along and he was a lot brighter. So I don't think he was fair sometimes with Ian. Because some of the time I said, he was jealous, I think, of Ian. I found that little boy there. I didn't know at the time. Later on I was jealous. I was just coming home from the war. There was someone else that I was loving. His grandparents were loving. My great-grandma was there as well. That's another mystery. What's that? She was called Mater. Sorry, this is great-grandmother on Eric's side. On your side? I've got a great-grandfather. Who married off... He was ever married to the previous woman. We don't know. Sorry, this is the... Grandfather of my dad's. Of your dad's? I've forgotten his name. It's Florence and... No, it's not my mum's at all. Right. Aubrey. Aubrey, that's right. He was a great-grandfather then, wasn't he? Yes. He was in the... I don't know. It was a mystery with their names. Really? Some of them went abroad to Canada as well from our side. My granddad was Robert Marshall. There was a William Marshall. That was an uncle. I could call him uncle. He was his brother. He was twice the size of my granddad. A bit like Ben. I don't need to talk twice the size of the others. My granddad was quite slight. Then we heard that they've got a name Cousin. As a surname? Yes. So how and why we don't know. Then he gets... Not jury service. Something like that. Something my great-granddad did. He meets this other woman. Her first wife had died and whether he'd never married her, I don't know. But he was supposed to be the illegitimate... illegitimate? It's the teeth, illegitimate. Thank you, I can't say illegitimate. Son of the Earl of Jersey. Now that's what we've... that's a bit of talk that we used to have. My mum and... What year would that have been then? Going back to late 1800s. My dad was born. It was in the late 1800s. In the 1900s. Or even 1900. He went into the war but he altered his age. He told a lie. He went in younger than... Your dad did? Albury Marshall? Yes, he did. I can't remember now. I didn't know it. That's what I've forgotten. All this titular title, I'm trying to think out... because we thought it was funny to be a cousin. Whether it was a cousin in America... that had written... only wondered if they'd taken the mother's name. His first wife. We all said whether he ever married her. We don't know. Then he met this other woman. A jury service. They mentioned it sometimes. He met her and married her. She wrote to my mum. That was during the war just before it. Had she got room that she could come and live with him. He had a housekeeper. He was getting on with it. She was going to move and live with her sister. We called her Grandma. Grandma could look after herself. She could come and stay at my mum's place. That's where all this came from. To my mum. The legitimate touchard of Earl of Jersey. We were hoping, I think, that... Alex Moran's son... could have found something, but I don't think he did. He'd have to delve further, but he hadn't got the time... to do what they do on the television. Kendra stands still with my mum. I'd bet he was an illegitimate child.  Lot of that happened. I think that happened on mum's family. Two generations back. She just heard, didn't she? You heard about that? Her brother. She didn't know her mum. Was it her? Her mum was sent to her home. Her mum sent two of her brothers. The brothers went to her home, didn't they? Yes, because she fell blind. My mum, Vera, didn't know about any of this. She was always told that they'd gone missing in the war. But actually, when her mum went blind, basically the authorities took her two sons away, basically put them in her home. This woman who got in touch... I had managed to track her dad. She traced it, didn't she? Yes, she traced it back and found the home and went through the home's records. She didn't know that he'd had a natural mum and dad. It's all come out literally with this research that she had to give them up. When she was looking together bits of what he said, he did meet with them after he'd grown up. Oh, that's right. There's a member Vera saying he'd come home. They found him. Something or other. But it's funny because it meant that things that she was told suddenly made sense. Some of it wasn't right, you see, was it? Mum's sister was disapproving that this had happened. Mum remembered this, she just out of the blue, remembered this very specific row when she was about 14. She was a bit, you know. She probably wouldn't know what it was all about. Exactly. No, there was a row, that's right. Yeah, basically, I can't remember the context of it, but it was something... Well, yeah, there's something that was basically... Mum said, oh, mum, you know... Mum's a good mother. Something wrong with mum's a good mother and her sister in the heat of the row said, you know, you don't know what you're talking about. And then she remembered her mum's just suddenly closing the conversation. She just said, well, we're not going to talk anymore. But she didn't know what any of that meant. Cos one little brother was run over, wasn't he? Didn't he jump on the back of her? On a train. I don't know. I don't know. There was one where, yeah, a brother had... It might have been a shock for him, but it's incredible what her mum used to do. Yeah, blind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when you were clearing out... Grandad's stuff that you found the gun. What was that? Yes. Was it two guns or one? No, one gun and an awful knife. I think I handed the knife into the police station. But he took the gun to pieces. He unscrewed it all. Oh, the policeman? No. Oh, Grandad? No, your Grandad showed it to me before he died. I said, you'd better get rid of that. It was a lovely, neat little gun. And he took it to bits. In front of you? So he knew how to take a gun apart? He must have done.  A little tiny one, I think it was a German one. A Luger, was that? I don't remember now what he probably would know and tell me. It didn't make sense to me. But he knew how to dismantle it? Where did he keep it? He should have kept it in a box or something. He kept it in his room. Half the things I didn't know of what he got. Where was the knife? I don't know, he got that there. What in the office? Nothing, I did it at home. In the bedroom? Somewhere, it showed it to me. So when he'd gone, I took that to the police station. I would see. When you could hand in things. But the gun he dismantled. I think I put bits in different litter boxes. When I went out. Must have been 1988 round then. When we moved to Castle Dawl, Swindon, yes. Oh, it was when you moved? Swindon, yes. But you don't think he did any work after the war? No, I don't think so. I know it was in here too. He went out to London once or twice. I don't know who he met in London. He had to go to office in London. It was probably to do with what he was doing. I don't know. I never asked him. He had to learn what he was doing. I wanted to learn. I wonder if there's anything else anywhere else that refers to the nursery. You know, maybe it's all coming out. There's only a foot in there. Tended the nursery. Got to be at the nursery tomorrow morning at 5. That must have been like the headboard. I don't know why he called it the nursery. It must have been special. I thought it wasn't a proper nursery with a baby in it. We were gardening nursery. That's right nursery garden centre. That's really helpful.
