The Cavalcade of America, presented by DuPont. This evening the DuPont Cavalcade brings you a story of the growth of child care in the United States through organizations that are striving to improve child care methods and reach a better understanding of juvenile needs. Now that fine weather has arrived, you're driving your car more than ever and you want to have it looking its best. Having developed the colorful, durable finishes DuCo and Dulux now used on most automobiles, DuPont chemists made a scientific study to find the best way to keep finishes in perfect condition, to clean them and protect them against the weather. Out of this research came a complete line of cleaning and polishing products, best known of which are DuPont number 7 polish and DuPont's new liquid speedy wax. These cleaners, polishes and waxes developed in the same DuPont research laboratories that produce the most widely used auto finishes will keep your car bright and new looking. Whether you do the job yourself or have it done at a garage, these DuPont products are real examples of better things for better living through chemistry. As an overture, Don Voorhees and the DuPont Cavalcade Orchestra play, just let me look at you by Jerome Kern from the motion picture, The Joy of Living. The DuPont Cavalcade begins with the uprising of the Natchez Indians against the French in Louisiana and a massacre at Fort Rosalie in 1729. Along the dark road leading to the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans, move a band of horsemen and in the saddle with each horseman is a child. It is so dark even my good man cannot see the way. It is only a little farther. These little ones must be given shelter before the morning breaks. How is it with you, my curly head? You find it hard riding with Pierre? It is very hard, Mr. Pierre. The Convent is just ahead and soon you will have food in a good bed. And my mother's goodbye. She'll be a very great soldier, little John. Someone rang the convent bell. Hold first, now, little one, when I dismount.  Did the Indians take him captive? No, no. You must be brave. Fort Rosalie is destroyed. Everyone is scattered. Those who have escaped may not come back for a long time. You must be patient and stay in the convent with the good sisters. Sister, there has been a massacre. The Natchez Indians have attacked Fort Rosalie. The entire settlement is wiped out. Le Ponteur of Natchez. We have brought you these little children. Homeless, fatherless. The poor little ones, let them come in, Monsieur. Let them come in. What? I want to go home. I want to go home. Give me the little girl. Poor, sweet. They are orphaned, sister. Every one of them. And they may be more. Bring them to us, Monsieur. We will find a place to care for them. The number of children left homeless by the massacre proved to be so great that the convent turned its facilities to their care. So providing the first group care of children in America. But it was many years before other institutions devoted wholly to children were even contemplated. In communities throughout the country, children were bundled off to institutions which housed the destitute, the disease, the aged and the insane. Here they work for their living. There's floors to be swept and beds to be made and work to be done. Houses to be managed with the likes of you. Granny, stop sitting there mumbling in your corner. Go get the broom. With a broom? My back's too lame this morning. Funny how lame your back always gets when there's something to be done. All right, old woman. Get to the kitchen and fix the vegetables.  Tom, you can do the sweeping. I can't, sweetie. Why not? I cut my thumb. I can't hold anything. Bet you did it on purpose. Hey, don't you say that. I'll hit you one for that if I ever catch you. You never will. Well, I'll take your doll. You won't! My doll! I'll take my doll! I keep you wrapped in my shawl. Oh, yes, I will. Come in. Come in. Get away and let Molly think alone. Get out of the wood pile. We need some long sticks for the big stone. Oh, I can't.  Or you'll get a whipping. Oh, my thumb hurts. You always make me do this. Molly, you clean up in here. Make the bed. Matron, is she far bed today? Of course not. Not till Friday. I know that's rules. But with four of us girls sleeping in a bed that way, things get awful must up. And I never get to share the blanket, Matron. Sue is always pulling it off of me. There are all the beds there are. And you are very lucky to have a fourth of a bed to sleep in instead of having to lie on the floor. I suppose so, but I... You'll have to make the best of it, Molly. Now get to work.  The 1860s, when institutions exclusively for the care of children were established, brought a turn for the better. And new laws provided the children of sound minds and bodies be placed either in orphan asylums or bound out to private families. But the life of the bound boy was one of hard labor and grim reality. One of these boys, Dave Brown, is taken to his new home by a state official.  Now Dave, you're a good boy and do as you're told. I'm sure it'll be a fine home for you. The Whittakers will treat you well. I'll try. I like working on a farm better than at the arms house. Maybe they'll let me take care of the horses. I know about doing that. Probably they will. You'll learn a lot of other things, so that when you're 21, you can get work and earn money for yourself. And here's the place. Hello there. Hello, hello. Howdy. I'm John Grimes from the orphan asylum. This is Dave Brown, the boy you're expecting. Oh yes, yes, the bound boy. Well, so you're the lad. Yes, sir. Well, I hope you're a good strong chap. There's plenty to be done on a farm, you know.  I'll do my best, sir. I'm sure you will. It's late and I won't come in, Mr. Whittaker. You just sign these papers and send them back to us. The boy's yours, at least 21. And I hope he's a help to you. Well, if he ain't, he'll hear from me. Well, come on, boy. Well, come on. He's going to get out the buggy. Oh, yes, sir. Be a good boy, Dave. Good luck. Thank you, sir. Here's your bundle. Bye. Bye, sir. Come on. Well, come on in. Oh, Ma. Ma, here's the boy. Well, it's a mint of light, and let me have a look at you. It might just well know to begin with that I didn't want no dirty boys around this place, but Pa's not as young as he used to be, and we need some help. I think I can help, ma'am. Well, there's a loft above where you can sleep. There's a take-up there. You can fill with straw from the barn to lay on, and there's a pitcher and a bowl. You can drive some nails to hang your clothes on, and you'll be comfortable enough. Thank you, ma'am. There's a gold mound half down the road. Let it says you've got to go to school. Yes, I want to. Yeah, well, Pa and I both think it's asking a lot, but if you can do it and get all the chores done... Oh, I know I can. I'm a big worker. Yeah, and a big eater, too, I expect. Well, get upstairs, take off those store clothes. Let's see what you can do. You're not living off the state any longer, you know. You're working your way now. Yes, sir. By 1875, the greater percentage of the orphans in the United States were in so-called asylum. These were an improvement over general institutions housing all sets of Daleks, but they were often bleak, cheerless affairs in which the children were practically prisoners, constantly humiliated by their feeling of dependence on charity. A meeting of the board often meant ordeal for the youngsters. Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Messenger? How do you do, ma'am? Mrs. Holden. Good afternoon, ma'am. The other members of the committee will not be here until three, but we thought we would like to visit the children before the meeting. Why, uh... Of course, Mrs. Holden. The children's home is always open to members of the board. We've decided to inspect the classes and find out for ourselves what these children are doing. They're wards of the state, matron. They're dependent on charity for the very bread they eat, the clothes they wear. Yes, yes, of course. And we want to be sure that they appreciate that fact. Are they making the most of their time, matron? Or are they just frittering it away? I can assure you there's very little frittering in the home, Mrs. Messenger. The children realize their position. They're taught to work hard and be grateful. But are they grateful, matron? That's what we want to know, or are they simply presumptuous scheming young people? Oh, and my husband visited the home last week. He was approached by a boy who had the imprisonment to ask if he might be allowed to go to high school. Since a bit, wanting an upper school education. He was quite brave in a barter, too. And very resentful when Mr. Messenger told him it was impossible. Said his duty was to go to work at once and earn his board and keys. He should have been reported to me. Such ideas are not encouraged in the home, Mrs. Messenger. Oh, I hope not. Mr. Messenger and I made up our minds that as such tendencies are being permitted, we shall withdraw our support. These children must be taught their place. We try to impress it upon them, Mrs. Messenger. Oh, uh, would you like to go to the girls' work room and such ideas are not encouraged in the home, Mrs. Messenger? I hope not. Mr. Messenger and I made up our minds that as such tendencies are being permitted, we shall withdraw our support. These children must be taught their place. We try to impress it upon them, Mrs. Messenger. Oh, uh, would you like to go to the girls' work room and see for yourself how they spend their time? By yes, I would. Just now they are peacing quill. The girls in this division make practically all the bedding for the home. They're right in here. They seem very quiet. They aren't allowed to speak. It takes their minds from their work. This is part of their regular routine. What is their present schedule, ma'am? Well, they rise at 6.30 and are washed and dressed and in line by 7. They march to the dining room and have their breakfast of mush and milk. In the morning they have lessons. Lunch is at 12, and at 1.30 they begin their afternoon duties. Suffer is at 6. Bible study, hymns, and bed at 8.30. They, uh, take off their shoes and stockings down here, so, uh, so it's not to mar the staircase. An excellent idea. They're taught to be very careful about the furniture. Oh, they do appreciate the duty. They owe to the home, Mrs. Holden. Oh, they have a song about it. We've taught them. Would you like to hear it? Well, uh, I don't think so. Can you only take a minute? Hello, girl? We have as visitors two members of the board, Mrs. Messenger and Mrs. Holden. I want you to show them how much you appreciate all that's being done for you by singing your orphan home song for them. Stand up. Ready? Down the pitch pipe, Sarah. Sing. Sing. Ah! I'm sure. There's one little girl who wasn't singing. What's her name, little girl? Mary. Why weren't you singing? Well, I should think you'd be very glad to have this nice home to sing about, aren't you? Aren't you? Mary, answer it once. No. You're not grateful. I ain't got nothing to be grateful for. Why, Mary, what do you mean? Don't you like it here?   Mary. How can I sing thankful songs in a place like this?  Outside it's... Mary, stop this minute. It is, Matron. Grace told me. Little girls on the outside don't wear their skirts down to their shoe tops. It's just because we're orphans you think you can treat us this way, but someday things is gonna change. Mary, go to my office. You can beat me if you want to, Matron, but it's true. Someday people's gonna find out orphans got rights just like anybody else, and it's important what they grow into. Someday things is gonna be different. You'll see. Eventually, Mary's prediction came true. Modern standards for childcare developed slowly, but by 1909 such progress had been made that in Washington, D.C., President Theodore Roosevelt called a conference at the White House. Doctors, educators, and social workers from all parts of the United States meet to consider the problems of the youth of America. The purpose of this conference has been to determine just what steps are necessary to give the orphaned children of this nation a better opportunity. We are very grateful for your cooperation, Mr. President. Robbing them of the rights of childhood is not the right way to meet the problem. Our orphaned asylums are the best in the world, Mr. President. What do we are? It's been the sense of this meeting that our present orphan asylums are not serving the child, but the real need is a nationwide program for giving children homes. But that is not always possible. And let's make it possible. I'm afraid, Mr. President, that you're suggesting utopia. I am suggesting common sense. We've listened to the reports of doctors, social workers, heads of institutions, welfare workers, the consensus of opinioners that we will stop pounding children into institutions just because it's the easiest way to handle them. You're quite right, Mr. President. Whenever it's possible, a child's own home should be preserved. When that can't be done, it should be duplicated for him in the best available way. Then we must work out a method of procedure. Mr. President, consider the work involved. You can't place a child in a home which has not been thoroughly investigated. Certainly not. Investigate it. That'll require time and money and a tremendous staff of workers. Then they must be provided. These helpless children are the citizens of tomorrow. They have a right to health and education and happiness. It's our duty to supply these rights. We are agreed that definite standards for childcare must be developed, Mr. President. That we must form societies that will be responsible for the health and welfare of its destitute children. But to work out such a system will take time. It will be slow, very slow. It may be slow, but it's bound to come. We're learning to conserve our forests and our cattle and our crops. One of these days, we'll learn to conserve our children. As a result of this conference, child welfare became a nationwide responsibility. In an attempt to clarify the work already being done, a bill for the exchange of information was set up in 1915. Its service proved so valuable that on June 20th, 1921, a meeting was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, attended by delegates from many states to outline a plan to increase its scope and activities. Among the delegates were Dr. Hastings H. Hart, Wilfred Reynolds, C.C. Carstens, and Ms. Ida Curry, all of them pioneers in the child welfare movement. After one of the sessions, they meet informally to discuss plans. I think we'll all agree now that we have a better conception of the needs in the child welfare field. I believe it's the ultimate answer to the national child welfare problem. We should attack every subject concerning youth, not as a separate department, but as one division of the general objective to provide a normal background for every child in America. Quite true. And someday, if we show the value of our service, we'll be working not only with placing organizations, but maternity homes, day nurseries, and child clinics, exactly. Then we should propose a reorganization of this bureau into a national league, which will interpret to the whole country the best methods of caring for children, either in foster homes or in cities. I would approve of that plan heartily. Yes, and members of the league will have to become paste-setters in the field and point the way. We'll have a small membership at first, but it will include the leading organizations of the country. What do you think about it, Mr. Carstens? I think it is a duty to show America what child care should be. And that duty, Mr. Carstens, I suspect, is about to descend on your broad and capable shoulders. My? Yes. But when this plan of reorganization is worked out, we all hope that you will agree to become the first executive director of the Child Welfare League of America. Today, the Child Welfare League of America coordinates the leading child-carrying agencies in the country. These cooperating organizations have brought about great improvements in the standards of child care. Today, the emphasis in child care is on the individual child. In thousands of carefully selected homes throughout the United States, orphaned children are growing up under normal conditions in a happy home atmosphere. Child welfare agencies keep them under careful supervision, and every few weeks, a visitor makes a call to be sure that all is well. And so you're really pleased with Johnny, Mrs. Barnes? Pleased with him? Well, he's a changed boy. No more fits of temper, not one since the first week. Well, that boy didn't need anything but a home. He plays with my boys as though he's always lived here. He's gained three pounds. And his school cards, right good. Let me show you. The other boys are going swimming. May I...? Oh, hello, Miss Cartwell. Hello, Johnny. I stopped by to see how you were getting along. You're not going to take me away again? Of course not. If you're happy. Sure I'm happy. I like it swell here. I get to keep rabbits, and I got a new ball bat, and Mrs. Barnes fixed my room all up for me. And what do you think? What, Johnny?  For more than 200 years, America has been slowly developing this modern method of fulfilling the needs of children deprived of their birthright. Through the care of health, through education, and the individual planning for home life, child welfare work provides hundreds of thousands of boys and girls annually with a normal childhood, which will enable them to face adult life as balanced individuals and good citizens. We salute those who have devoted their vision and energies towards improving the lot of children in the cavalcade of America. Forty-three years ago, a young German named Wilhelm Rentgen, while experimenting with a vacuum tube, discovered the mysterious action we now know as X-ray, which makes it possible for us to see right through solid substances. Most of us know how vital the X-ray is in helping doctors and dentists detect broken bones or infections hidden from the naked eye. But did you know that the same rays are used for such things as inspecting the inside of every metal weld on the great boulder dam, thereby making sure they're perfect and will last through the ages? That is just one of the curious and valuable uses to which modern industry puts X-ray. For example, the giant yet delicate radio transmitting tube sending this very program out in the air are X-ray inspected after their pact for shipment to make sure they're in perfect condition.  And even fruits such as oranges are X-rayed to make sure they're good all the way through. But X-rays do more than enable us to see through solid objects. In DuPont research laboratories, scientists use the same penetrating rays as super microscopes to measure distances as incredibly small as one one hundred millionth of an inch, the actual distance between atoms, to determine the qualities of new products which are continually being studied and developed. In these and many other modern applications of X-ray, it is one thing to see into or through an object and another thing to record such impressions for further study or reference. DuPont chemists have helped make the X-ray a more valuable tool by perfecting an X-ray film which makes it possible to get clearer pictures than ever before. DuPont X-ray film with a layer of sensitized emulsion on both sides of a special blue base gives doctors the greatest possible opportunity for correct diagnosis and provides sharp, distinct impressions on any type of X-ray work. It is non-flammable, flexible, and easily transported or stored. In contributing a superior film to capture and record the magic vision of the X-ray, we see one more illustration of how DuPont chemists work to provide better things for better living through chemistry. Samuel Slater, called the father of American manufacturers, will be the subject of our broadcast when next week, at the same time, DuPont again presents the Cavalcade of America. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.


QuickBooks Online 2022. Credit card reconciliation month number one. Get ready because it's go time with QuickBooks Online 2022. Here we are in our bank feed practice file. We set up with a 30-day free trial holding down control, scrolling up a bit to get to the 125%. We're currently in the home page otherwise no one is to get things done. Page the business view as compared to the accounting view. You could change to the accounting view by going up to the cog up top, switch to the accounting view down below. We will be toggling back and forth between the two views either here or by jumping to the sample company file currently in the accounting view. Back to the bank feed practice file. We're going to open up a couple tabs to put reports in by right clicking the tab up top and duplicating it. Back to the tab to the left right click again and duplicates again as that is thinking. We're gonna jump on over to the sample company file to locate where the reports are located in the accountant view which is on the left-hand side under reports. If we go back on over to the business view in the bank feed practice file second tab we're then going to be in the business overview section and then in reports closing up the hand boogie. We're gonna open up some reported. What's it called again? What's that report? The balance sheet. I use it so rarely. Sometimes I forget the name of it but there it is the 010121 to 12th. Actually let's cut this off as of 09321 because that's gonna be our cutoff date for our first account for the reconciliation of the credit cards. Let's run that as is and then actually let's do it this way. Now let's keep it there. We're going to the tab to the right. We'll go into the business overview and then we'll go into the reports again close up the hand boogie and then go down to the profit and loss the P and L the income statement ranging in the changing<PHONE_NUMBER>1 and run it. Okay so there we have the income statement let's go back to the first tab or the second tab we're gonna do a bank reconciliation or a credit card reconciliation for the credit card. Now when you think about this reconciliation process you probably think of it first for the bank accounts but you could do a similar bank reconciliation for the credit cards. Many people don't think of it as much with the credit cards because the credit cards unlike the bank on the bank you still could have some outstanding transactions outstanding deposits and checks and many people will not be completely reliant on the bank to construct the the data within the system. On the credit cards many small businesses will basically be reliant on the financial institution to draw in all the data that we're going to be using to construct our financial statements balance sheet and income statement from the financial institution. Therefore we're going to not have any outstanding items like like the outstanding transactions in there as readily although the payment could still be kind of outstanding if we make the payment so you could still want to do the reconciliation for it but so that's why people might so that means that the balance that's actually in your system is more likely to just tie out to the balance that's going to be on the bank statements even if you're not doing the reconciliation because there may not be any outstanding type of items except for that payment that you might be making but it's still a good process to do the bank reconciliation process and if you're in a company that is recording the transactions first like a full service bookkeeping system would even on the credit card side of things many times small businesses don't do that because it's electronic transfer but larger businesses are more likely to because then you have that internal control if you were to record it on your end and then verify it with the reconciliation could result then in some of those timing differences which you would want to have reconciliations for note that we have this negative number here that's weird right because that would mean that they owe us money how did that happen it happened in part because we didn't put the beginning balance in place into the system that's the same problem we're going to see with the bank statements we'll do it on the bank statements as well but when you first put the information into the system then we have to put the detail into the system QuickBooks is not the type of software that's just going to pick up the ending balance because then you don't get the detail you don't get the income statement QuickBooks wants to get the detail in place so you can record what happened given you the income statement and being able to drill down on the source documents and that means that if there was detail before the transactions that you pulled in we've got to add that to the system generally so let's go back on over and say our reconciliation let's go to the first tab tab number one and then we're going to find the reconciling stuff which under the accountant view is under the bookkeeping and then reconcile down below if you were in the business view it would be under the accounting I believe on the left hand side and then reconcile second tab up top so then we're going to be in the reconcile and let's go ahead and get started match books to the bank records let's do it and then it gives you your thing here and I'll say maybe later on this one maybe later QuickBooks not right now and then we're looking for the credit card so the credit card that's the one we want with the reconciliation and then the beginning balance notice the beginning balance is zero that's a problem because we need the beginning balance there so we could when you first enter the transactions you could try to put this into the beginning balance or we could just put it into the register as long as it's something that we can check off and the first in the first reconciliation then it'll be fine then the beginning balance will be good going forward so what I'm going to do then is I'm going to go up top I'm going to right click on the tab up top duplicate it and let's go into the register and add that beginning balance let's put it in place just manually into the register going into the bookkeeping on the left hand side to do so into the chart of accounts if you were in the other view by the way it would be under accounting and then the chart of accounts to get into that chart of accounts closing up the hand boogie let's find that on that credit card which is right there I found it I found it and then we're going to go into the register this is not the check register this is the credit card register and we want it then to be to be going up or having a charge in this case a charge for that beginning balance I'm going to hit the drop down right here and say let's make that just like a normal like an expense type of form let's do it because that's the normal form to be used and this is going to be let's make it as of 090121 now oftentimes if you were to start a new bookkeeping system you would want to do it by the beginning of the year and probably possibly have your prior bookkeeping system in the prior year therefore possibly in January you would be running this but this is just going to be an example problem here so we have a couple of months that we're going to be dealing with but note that when you put your beginning balances in generally you would like to put the beginning balances in the prior period and or put them to equity so they're not going to be hitting the income statement so won't get into that too detailed now we're going to say memo this is the beginning balance and it's going to be a charge of $1,000 now the other side where's the charge go to do I have to go to all my prior credit card statements and know where the charges were that were outstanding and whatnot and how much I paid and so forth no because we're going to basically assume that that's in the prior accounting system and then and they were if they were going to be income accounts they would have rolled into the equity account the equity account of retained earnings so I'm going to put this beginning balance directly into retained earnings at this point and just record the activity that is happening happening in the current period so I'm going to put it into retained earnings it might give me a warning saying that's funny that's unusual that's weird it is but it's a beginning balance thing that's why we're doing it so we're going to say save it save it and there we have it it's been recorded let's go up to the second tab balance sheet and we can run it run nine and scroll down and say what happened there there we have it in the credit card credit cards positive now that makes some sense there's the one thousand dollars that looks good the other side in retained earnings retained earnings in the in the online version you can't drill down on a knowing but that's the way it is you can still see the detail though by running a GL report just to show you how that works I'm going to right-click on the tab to the right duplicate that tab let's find ourselves a GL report so we can see that what's happening in the retained earnings we can do that by going to the reports on the left-hand side and I'm going to look for the general ledger give me that G to the L report and then range change up top from 0101 to 1231 to 1 and run it and then if I go down to the to the the account of retained earnings there it is retained earnings and we've got then then that amount that we just put into the retained earnings right here the expense of the one thousand dollars so you can't see the detail in the retained earnings by doing that in the second reconciliation we won't have to do that anymore it's only going to be needed on the first one to get that big beginning balance in place let's go back to the first tab and continue so I don't see the beginning balance here but that's okay because I can check it off once I start rolling in to the wreck in silviation so this is 0909 30 2 1 I'm sorry what am I doing here ending balance that's what they're looking for not the date 756 38 756.38 that's what I meant now I put it in wrong 756.38 and then the date is gonna be are they gonna make me use the date thing here let's bring it back 930 okay I think I got it this time I got it then we'll start the reconciliation I know what I'm doing here so we got the reconciling items up top this is the statement ending balance so you could see that on the statement here so there's our ending balance there and then we've got we've got the beginning balance which is 0 which normally and will be in all following presentations are all following reconciliations the 1000 but I'm still okay with that because I can check it off so I can check it off down here for the first one and it's not gonna throw me out it's not gonna not gonna be a problem I'll just check that one off I'm gonna uncheck all these notice they were already checked off because I did this with the bank feeds so it tried to help me out by just if you just check the whole thing off and say are you sure you want yes select select the whole thing it's gonna generally be reconciled why because we took all this information directly from the financial institution and now we're tying out what's in our books to what's in the financial institution so unless the beginning balance was a problem which it was this time won't be going forward or we somehow missed the transaction deleted it or didn't get imported or we doubled up on a transaction entered it two times then we should be in balance so it should be a really easy thing to do if we're being reliant kind of on the bank feeds to record this information but it could still get a little little mixed up when you make the payments like depending on how you make the payment but in any case let's uncheck that and do it one thing at a time there's the 1000 so now that's kind of what the beginning balance will be in the following way time plus the charges minus the payments is going to give us the cleared balance so once the this balance is equal to the cleared balance that will mean that we have checked everything off and anything that had not yet been checked off would then be the reconciling items there aren't going to be anything that aren't checked off here because we pulled all this information directly from the bank we don't have anything like we would have on the bank statement or bank reconciliation of outstanding checks and deposits so it should be a pretty easy process to just reconcile I'm gonna say okay we found that one and I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it yellow highlight it and then I've got the 366 the 36603 36603 is right there the 7245 and the 4996 and I'm just gonna check those off check it check it out and check it off I've checked it out and now I'm checking it off because it all checks out Roger that so there we go and then the in balance is the 756 3875 638 so we're in balance over here with your bank reconciliation you want to make sure that is zero if it's not zero and it's like a dollar or something you're like that's not a big deal you kind of want to get it to be zero it should be able to get to be zero because you're not trying to check just the ending balance you're trying to get checked at all the other transactions were correct and if it's not zero you could have a large you know payment as well as a charge they kind of nets out or multiple payments and charges that you're missing that happens to net out to a small amount but you're missing all the detail so that's basically it we're gonna say it let's let's go ahead and say finish it you could you could of course leave or some or something and then come back later but we're gonna finish it now finish it done and so there we have that one let's do let's do one more on it let's do one more by the way before we do that though if you go to the history buy account you could find then your your reconciliations by the credit card account and you could go in here and view the reconciliation which is a kind of kind of intimidating looking report but the reconciliation is really just this part down here like this beginning balance the statement balance not quite right but that's okay because it's the first one because we had to we had to tweak it a little bit on that first one because the beginning balance was not right but we had to check it off and then the really the starting point is this area here the statement ending date the 756 38 versus the register balance the 756 38 there's no difference so there's no reconciling items and then it gives you more of the detail of what actually happened and whatnot but we're looking for the reconciling items there are none because it's the same so in other words if I go to the balance sheet here on the credit card it's going it's saying it's 756 38 and that's what's on the bank statement or the credit card statement 756 38 so it's good going forward let's do one more this time going to October this is our mock October statement which is going to start out at the 756 38 and then we've got this charge down here or a payment one payment that's all we did that's all we did this time so it'll be a really easy one so let's go to the first tab and let's do it again do it again we could go into it this way this is one way we can go into it bookkeeping reconcile closing the burger we're going into the credit card credit card account and this time the beginning balance it's there for us and it will be there for us every time going forward it's going to be correct every time we don't have a beginning balance problem anymore and this is going to be as of 10 30 to one note that if I go to the balance sheet over here we could change the date up top to 10 30 to one the cutoff date and run it run it and then down here we're at the the 631 77 that's where we stand right now that's where I'm standing and if we look at our our statement balance for for October 631 77 we're tied out because we created our financial statements directly from the bank feeds and so therefore there's no timing differences so reconciliation quite simple so we're going to go to the first tab and say I got I typed in the wrong thing again you got to type the ending balance first that's what they want the ending balance was 631 77 so it's 631 what is going on 631.77 quickbooks is doing this on purpose trying to drive me crazy 1031 1031 that's the one okay let's go ahead and start it and it should be as easy as this we can say okay there's the beginning balance and then notice it checked all of them off for us already why because we we pulled this in from the bank feeds so it already checked it off that's what the bank reconciled that's what the bank feeds do for us and notice it does for it does that for us even if we weren't constructing the financial statements from the bank feeds in other words if I had entered this first and then use the bank feeds to check that I have entered it matching up to a transaction I had already input then it would help us out with the reconciliation generally as well it's not a perfect system because if something's out of balance I'm going to have to re reconcile the whole thing again if it but you know it could help us out with that now if we could just check the whole thing off and then we're going to be in balance because we constructed this whole thing from the bank feeds so our ending balance should be tying out we got a difference of zero and we could just say finish it finish it and then done and there's your there's your process for the credit card bank reconciliations just for those two months that we can that we can take a look at it we'll have similar issues with the reconciliation process for the checking account which again we'll have that beginning balance problem with the first one and then everything from that point will be easy or as well and if we're building our financial statements from directly the bank information again it'll be quite easy because we won't have any reconciling items if we're doing some kind of a cruel method then we're going to have the reconciling items and that'll be a little bit more complex with regards to the bank statement and bank reconciliation.


Boys, what's up, man? I hope you guys are having a great Christmas great holiday season man I've taken about four to five days off Madden's been great refreshing hanging out with my family my two-year-old son Christmas has been great. I appreciate all you guys reaching out and wishing that and I hope the same for you guys But let's get back into these tournament games. You guys like these formats these videos Hit the comments. Let me know hit the like button or closing on that big 40k subscribers under a thousand subscribers Left to hit that 40k. Let's take a look at this game now I'm in like round five of losers keep winning keep winning keep winning. That's what we got keep doing keep making a run I'm playing a guy that I beat I actually play a lot on the ladders or on the ladders on leaderboards everything You know and this goes back to man I wish we had we can leave more so I'd play these guys a little bit more You know we can leave for me is tough to not have we can leave around But you know that is we can't change that now So he has Aaron Rodgers here. That's the first thing we notice And I told you guys I'll be using this X factor to keep my boys lit up The caveman. I don't think it was a glitch. I think it's just a tactic, you know So we got them guys lit up to start the game I'm gonna go ahead and just hide this face cam So I feel like I blocked too much of the gameplay and I'm not doing anything crazy right now Just talking but start the game we play a good game You want to see the lineup see who they got going The one thing about mutt is that you know every lineup is pretty much the same. You're not really seeing Too much different here in the lineups But I will probably check Different abilities see what your opponent is doing And he's a he's a gun tight guy kind of the meta I Feel good on often their defense against this. I know what I want to do I know what I want to do and that's my man Shaun T right there. I believe now Jeremy Chin Shaun T we did not use Shaun T because he'd be cost money for pick artists. So Sadge sadge no Shaun T this year money for pick artists is tough.  I'll tell you why this is annoying. I know that when I run spinner I run spinner most of time. I think it's the easiest defense to adjust out of you know So we got everybody matched up. We got my universal coverage is glowing because of the caveman I have medium knockout medium knockout and deep knockout. I believe something like that at the time There's this guy right here the tight end or running back, but he's kind of in the running back position, right? But or he's in a tight end position a bunch, but he's RB. So every time I go to man them up I think he's the tight end, but he's RB. So it gets a little confusing in that aspect because that's the guy That's open as you see I got a little What we got some up a little vert hook out there motion in with monk He blocks the bliss that's cool. I mean we could have got a pick six right there He just snapped and do it to that guy. So we get a big 30 and 11 early feeling great man I'm a defense when you're in this bunch empty you have nobody to really block So, you know, I feel like we're gonna tee off as far as just getting pressure and we see our guy We got our universal covers just down bumping pressing and somehow this guy gets just a rub rod I guess it's the strong safety that has to guard him or the free safety. I'd be forgetting But yeah, Ty law and just can't get through.  He can't get through all this This is I mean, this is real football got to get through all that traffic and Ty log does not get our monk and our monk It gets a big play. I mean she's down to almost 50 yard play That's tough. Now he's in field of range way different You know, we're back back to take first down. I assume maybe a run right here, but he's goes with the play-action play We're gonna double team up top and Ty law gets whooped again. I Mean I really whooped but he gave up a catch. I feel like that's getting whooped if you give up a catch That's getting whooped Hard flat out there. Good job by chin again third and three Let's fill out drive. It's a fill-out drive Three-man rush here. I like this call. He has nobody though to those the ball away.  I'll tell you I think I think I'll shade down here do something crazy Just to try to stop this fourth down right here. This is a big play in the game If I can get the ball back see we're blitzing five people. We're sending everybody. We can worry about that drag They got hit earlier on Ty law. Let's see if our month comes back across the middle That's what I'm looking for.  Can we get out of there? Oh? Almost out of there. You guys know of your blitzing man. Take that first read away and We we see Marcus Allen. I actually just gets a crazy release I don't know how you got to release that clean and just at what is right there next to him Let people talk about man coverage man. I feel like it's it's not good It's really the blitz that you send that's good. I Don't know how at water just gets left in the dust here. He probably bumps into somebody He just I just flat footed, but we covered that first read Get the pick pick one first drive man. That's always love. That's always great when you get that man momentum We're gonna we're gonna get up out of there. Here we go. So we got Marcus Allen glowing We got a little dollar baseline so against about dollar baseline and I see Caveman he has caveman with inside stuff and just blows up that run now I got to pay attention. I got a look if I double team the inside stuff.  We did not block that corner. It's a slide to the left. I Believe I even ID him out here. No, maybe not but We get good pass protection on the running back side. I need these guys to pass this off better That's gonna be the theme of the whole game the theme of blocking dollar baseline Just can my left tackle my left guard pass this off properly Now I've also been told that if your tackle has an ability That our tackles have edge protector or secure protector Then they're more inclined to hold their block and not pass off that defensive end is what they need to do if they Pass off that defensive end Then you'll be able to watch them call you'll be able to The left guard would be able to get the end and then the tackle will pop out and get the corner Here I have threat detector, so I know he's only blitz on one side. We're gonna pop a little run right here and Fight for the first nice now. I said dollar baseline Third and five you're not gonna stop the run the reason I motion Mike Williams is because a lot of times that this they get confused on who has to block this defensive end Now sometimes Mike Williams will try to block him and Mike Williams on Reggie White is bad So if I motion him out of the way now the tackle knows Joe Thomas knows I I have to get this defensive end There's nobody else there to block him. I should have clean blocking here You know tackle one head on a hat on a hat this guy Larry on to get off and get Asian Wilson He's clearly gonna be in some type of coverage so safety's will be dropping back Well looks like this safety was manned up when they when they attack the box that fast They were probably manned up on somebody rather than a deep blue and here we have Larry Allen his head is spinning right here But we actually get a good stiff arm and a good animation I was cool going for that because if I got to a fourth down I'll be able to run the ball, you know Or a fourth and one fourth and two definitely four down territory pretty much every time I'm mad in here I was just flooding out the right side. He's just running his own for the most part And we step up a little bit too far here boys That's the one thing. I it's hard to just step up a little bit here But we had great pass protection. Just stay right there. Just just anchor it in right here You'll have RB deep over the top right here towards the sideline. He's manning up both his safeties. He's got this guy Step double a bit too far. We're gonna say the thing about that is though I didn't lose any yards, you know, so that's that's why I like to step up You have to step up against his defense and we're trying to pop a run right here And we're going to get absolutely nothing no one trap gets two yards because of the X factor ability glowing That's about it I'm the same thing. We'll go back here. We're just trying to beat a little bit of press here and We're bad we get shredded we step up I'm trying to flood out the left side here.  It's just DB fire to cloud zones. Everybody else is just manned up Maybe I had this but a cloud flat is here I would have why if I had a little bit more time But I step up I get beautiful blocks on beyond but the caveman just Gets me here. He's just sheds Faster quarterback. Obviously I could have scrambled for a big play with a faster quarterback but I Don't have Elway and the caveman just blurs Jason Kelsey, you know I mean low key if we if we get this if we get this block here We're gonna have moss one-on-one with Atwater You know, we're gonna have this we're gonna have this over here We're gonna have this and we're gonna have a scramble, but we just get shredded the hell. I mean Kelsey just gets Pop fourth and six got to go for one audible a bunch here the beautiful thing about threat detector as we see There's only one person blitz in here. I like this because I look as you see I'm flooding out the zone on right with the corner out Good job. I haven't blitz in the last second. Let's see if I see see that's one thing about that detector, man You let somebody lower Get in here then you blitz after they see you're not blitzing and you get this big play over the middle trail route One of the best routes in that in this year, man If you guys are struggling being man coverage that trail right to your type that trail route to your tight end is actually huge They're actually double team the Inside stuff we get a good block probably the best run of the day as we pick up a cool five I'm always down with a cool five as we go up top right here. Oh, that could have been bad I don't know if this was man coverage. I think I think he manned him up or was a yellow zone Look where he's it might just been covered three One up top try to get a egg third and five here We're attacking the right side of the field. We're streaking. We got Casper on a corner I just took out I just took out waller because he got hit in the air and you don't want him to get like fatigue Glitch, so I took him out We got a five man blood blitz same thing We're gonna flood we're gonna look right to left here Nice job getting a ball out Mike Williams underneath first down. This is a methodical drive Underneath Marcus Allen pick up a couple yards Four for five fifty six yards. I'm not hitting any of those big plays that I want Once again caveman now now, I don't know if they changed this but I tell you Inside stuff used to work on inside zones not all one traps not bases and this goes back to me Not running a ball enough, so I don't double team here and caveman literally blows up that run by himself So here we go 36 It's a tough spot to pass right here when I'm motion out moss We're looking what we're looking waller. We're looking Mike Williams. We're looking running back wheel route. I actually called a timeout Tough now I if I waste the time out man. I got to make this worth it here Mean every time you get down here in the goal line. It's always pretty much the same thing You got one guy going right one guy going left behind them Then you got your running back wheel route You got a flat a flat route here to take all the purples and flats all the way to the side So you have this little spot right here. You could hit your running back. It's been like that for a couple years now. I Actually have moss here, which is never the read He's just a guy to run off zones But moss could almost get to get this first down But you never really make that read you just start looking in the middle and where the you think there's gonna be some type of flat zone out here But once again, well, I actually did hit moss. I'm actually I'm actually a lord I mean just not being able to block this corner. We're slide left slide left slide left Again Not being able to block this corner. It's tough. So you get the ball to moss We have a fourth in one for our lives here. We're glowing. We have Keith Byers. We use the X-Factor. He has absolute Glowing power inside whatever it's called. What's it called inside freight train? But one of the downsides of this is I think I actually might have to use another time out here First drive of the game really look how fast this game gone We're closing in the end of the first half. We've both had the ball twice or once. This is all we got dollar now This is where this is like fourth and one first drive of the game and you're in dollar against I form now I Feel like you got a run commit this I'm glowing.  He just rushes three and We try to hit wall or which one I feel like this is a bad pass. I play for a run commit here This is bad, but We try to hit wall or right in here and this this whole pause but right when he gets by here I want to I want to throw this ball right at the Eagle logo and I for some reason the ball goes here under pressure Poor accuracy. I don't know how we get under pressure with fearless. I don't know now. This is obviously a huge tight window He's probably not gonna catch it. He has short in I don't know if this counts as short in anymore maybe once he gets past the numbers who knows but I Don't know how you under pressure right there with my fear I didn't even notice that I got that bad throw on 4th down. That's tough So we get no points there. I said, maybe I over thought it maybe we just run right in the dollar But I feel like if they run commit you're just like you're gonna just It's just asking so much for the game, you know Medium knockout. Oh man. Come on. I train. I need you there.  Nothing ball pops up. Nobody's there to catch the pick story of my life I Think I'm actually in 3 3 5 now because he's just all the blown around a lot and Actually, I didn't know what I wanted to run against gun empty So universal coverage we get a pick what's in get your feet up get in get there we go Beautiful. That's why we got those universal coverages out there.  So I can't really run inside zone. Oh one traps not doing much for me. I Gotta be able to block these corners Once again, we're gonna slide left try to ID right and It's doing a good job on the right side the left side. We're just we're not getting too much There he has somehow breaks that up with Asia and Wilson, but Tough, I mean once again I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna try to pop a run here because if I Through four down territory.  I got Jeff Saturday on LT.  I maybe should could kick this And maybe I should kick it but like I said, I ran the ball there thinking this, you know for down territory So I'm gonna go for here on fourth down Well, we're gonna get double slants pretty much here.  It's not hard. It's just zone for the most part And that time we actually did no we didn't I had to step up at the last second let my right guard get this corner Just just a nightmare. How hard it is to get those corners blocked up There we go nice run for the boys buyers picking up 12 yards big run Now we're gonna use some time make this the last drive of and Did I go ahead and get a holding penalty on the next one here? We're gonna run the ball again, and we do indeed get a holding coach adjustments blocking aggressive Probably for that fourth down play forgot to forgot to put that on take that off So that's a old fat mistake and that gets us to a first in 20 here That could have been first thing going to five so we're first in 20 We have two timeouts 40 seconds left everything is still an option every time I do this I just try to list deep blue will run off all the deep blue zones corner out will be open unless there's like a 30-yard cloud here Which there could be flat Guarded if there's a 30-yard cloud your flats want to be over your drags want to be open, and then you have the backside post Just a left to right read that's all it is looking at the corner out Gonna have the corner. I mean the corner out is gonna be a touchdown here over this cloud I believe But we get just wide open. He's just wide open, but we just break down We just cannot block this this blitz right here My running back. It's not even the blitz.  It's how he long just killing just Killing me through the like he literally shut it everybody right there. Oh My goodness how long the caveman actually actually killed me this game watching this back Yeah, this is pretty much same thing. We're looking corner out. We're looking post route We get protection here and how he long gets me again It's just it's just you have to do so much in the pocket to get away from this corner Sliding left and they don't block that guy and have to step up We slide left every time they don't block that guy and then I got a step up so my running back blocks him once again We're gonna have a a high ball up caught why high ball I mean these are two first downs, but we step up too far and how he long gets me again This time I just run the ball. This is completely just conceding take making muses last time out here It's third and 25. You're not gonna get that for the most part We'll take our three. We had two drives. We got stopped on fourth and goal in the one and then we get the three-pointer So Tough I'm having a little trouble with this blitz.  I'm sure I put a deep blue in the middle here. I'm not really Pick if I could get one of these to pop up for a pick I mean, we're hitting the hell out of the quarterback. Give me one of these to pop up for a pick and we're in good shape here Seven seconds left. I'm still in cover zero might be questionable to be in the cover zero right here, but I Like it we get no pressure He goes for a game over. That's cool. Just tackle half over we get the ball Try to run the ball try just a little bit. This is everything that he did good job of when he pinched the line I get good blocking one of three down linemen, but he just scrapes with Sean Taylor over here Yeah, see look just scrapes and nobody can get to Sean Taylor if he was somebody would get to Sean Taylor We could be a big that could be a big run, but We're cool. We're still blowing with buyers. He's gonna break tackles. That's why we had the ability freight train That's why we're going with it Right here. We're looking for Waller. He's got a great cut I mean look at the I don't know what Waller ran right here. Why he ran so terribly He's manned up, but I need you to get out of there like look at Waller. Look at him He's got short in and he's got Adrian Wilson on him. Who's a hitting safety?   We get to a third and 15 right here Slide left nothing and the ball gets knocked out. This slide left just isn't working. It's just tough One thing I used to do is slide towards the running back and let the running back go the other way and block the other corner That's here. We get good good pun coverage We're just having a nightmare blocking right now. We're having a nightmare blocking Doing what we can get rid of the ball when we can when my people run the right routes I don't know if we're wasting plays running the ball, but we're certainly That should be knocked out but he does a good job catching the ball getting away from my deep knockouts Or my universals and he does a good job getting in the field where he's right there That's that's what I mean about avoiding those knockouts. I know you guys hate knockouts. Everybody hates knockouts But another one popped up in the air like we could get so many picks if someone else will just get to the ball Give me something lucky here. That's like about the fourth or fifth time. He's passed the balls popped up But if you're running these knockouts You got to do a good job of coming back to the ball When When you go to the receiver so you can come back to the ball and get further away from the knockouts Like you did on that big post route There we go, he's in he's in the scoring territory territory for sure Like I said, he's been blocking that guy so I put his man in as I don't put him in his own right there That could have been a pick. I don't know what I mean He was throwing right at who out we were guarding. There was three people on Waller here you know so For that to have heard him to do three people at Waller tough tough tough. I think this is the same play Oh, no, we got another pop-up right there could have been there eight for 18 about five of them and popped up Shotgun tight. He's been quick snapping every time he goes to this all the boys want to motion block air We cover everything and we he gets away from the knockout again and night train cannot Night train cannot guard this corner out to Waller You got him you got medium knockout good click on come back at the ball and night train is just lost in the sauce And we give up a touchdown. So now we're losing a game that we've got two picks We haven't turned the ball over we haven't made a bad decision with the football Once again, we are sliding left trying to block the on Sanders on the left here Maybe I should have just started out. Oh, we got a good block here, but there's how he long There's that man. How he tearing up the inside of my offensive line I mean caveman absolutely went crazy for this guy Right over Larry Allen right flooded Jason Kelsey's doing a better job of blocking me than he is of helping So tough, but we didn't lose any yards on the sack. That's always good. Here. He gets super screen like a super screamer. I Don't know what the hell happened this way. We didn't slide anywhere Yeah, we didn't slide anywhere on that play. We get screamed at that boy third down We're still sliding left. We're gonna ID to the left here Because we know he's not blitzing left. He's not blitzing the right corner So I know that somehow my ID pops back up on that guy tough And we don't got as blanketed. Oh, we get out of there at all. Good job Calvin Good stick right there with a spam. Hey That dude wasn't covered So I'm like, all right, let's run the ball here. We're not having a good job blocking this guy's blitz How he long sheds and tackles the freight train guy Deon Sanders sacks me again. That's how we block. Nobody fight nice Little short pass here. I'm not listen. I've gone to slide to the left. That's what I started doing now Slide towards the running back. We switched it all up. I think I should do this most of time Four quarter boys, we've had the ball three times. We have three points. That's not gonna get it done No, what a motion to a little trips here just run the ball get the ball to buyers really just pound the ball down here Good stick right there. Just being patient and we get a big broken tackle and buyers is doing it for us Byers is doing it for us right now boys. He's getting it done. We're gonna bring a Marcus Allen here Double team the inside or the inside stuff. Let's get some good blocks.  I don't I'm not mad at stuff like that Especially versus Asian Wilson or Camp Chancellor type. They should shed like that every time Remember to send off five here dump it off to the running back pick up a cup. I mean, this is like Prime Tom Brady Patriots offense right now. I Haven't looked past ten yards in the last couple past plays just because how much pressure we're under Another quick snap here Great catch by Mike Williams. Good read. The thing is when you don't block a running back I'm looking running back to the right here He hasn't covered up really well and actually running back bumps into the blitzer. He covers his little whip route I just have to go to the next level just high ball almost Rocky catch it in there first down. This is this is textbook right here boys. We are milking clock We are using time. We've got a score touched on here.  We'll get this to the two-minute warning. Here we go We will back to the same look is he gonna run commit. We're back to the same look as the first half We're just gonna run the ball in Man, I wish I ran that the first time that we got a couple yards there for sure. This is my ticket to the two-minute warning Big boy ball here. We're gonna get goal line package in here. We're gonna get some goal line audible set. He's actually in goal line So see how this works out and he just absolutely just Shedded my life here boys Alan Fannica on the left I believe No, it was Joe Thomas Joe Thomas if you get this down block a little bit I will run by Reggie White and we will walk into the end zone, but Joe Thomas gets absolutely shetted Third and goal Back in the tight Same thing. I've been doing the same thing from the first half Big play big play. Actually, it's just a great read and actually a great free form pass We don't talk about it a lot He does a good job taking away be this time and up manned up the running back It's gonna come down a wire. Hey, that's what's gonna come down to He pulls off home on a it would be an easy high ball if he doesn't guard it Then I have this guy now if you go to why he'll run into this flat zone over here These guys, but I actually free form it back into the left almost make him stop and Catch the ball beautiful free form Quick read I went right to left. That's what I look at every time we go Moss running back. No back in the middle a no boom back to why boom probably my fourth read on the play We catch the touchdown huge Huge execution. I believe I don't know when that drive started, but that's where we took off like eight minutes right there boys Easy eight minutes. He's in the gun in the empty bunch here All we need is one of these pop-up passes and we'll catch a pick That's what I feel like we'll feel good and we go we get the picture me chin over the middle get this Get in the end zone and we get tackled big play. Listen. He's been motion blocking this guy So what I did was he leave nobody on him I just have a purple over here for corner routes I have and then I got the middle field if this guy blocks. I'll go lurk if not I'll guard him That's pretty much my responsibility. I see him go out on a whip on a trail route And I just jump it cover it Jeremy chin picked off we get the ball up by three I feel like we've been in a situation every single time we've been in these situations Just got to run the clock one first down will win this game one first down will win this game We're gonna go to verticals here First down I told you guys about this a million times first down second down the easiest time to pass You don't want to wait to third and ten. We're gonna go here.  We get no yards Now I feel like we got it. We not feel like we got to run them, but we got it gets some of those timeouts Good job. Just scraping right there. He's gonna use a timeout. We only get one yard on a run third and nine We're not going to be able to take all his timeouts, but right here. You don't want to go incomplete pass You don't want to go to ball away. You want to be safe here We're gonna be looking for corner out the wall or we definitely are same thing pretty much all day And we get no pass protection and caveman sheds me again. We take a sack Tough series of downs right there Just not being able to block this corner has just killed me this game I don't think the coverage is really good, but you know when I just can't block this corner off the left I used to believe in I'm telling you slide towards the running back Let the running back go all the way across the quarterback and kick out the The corner on the opposite side of the formation that was always be my best bet And I really didn't go to that but but for a few times this game But we're up by we're up by six we have six we have he has one timeout I don't even know if I would say I'm playing great defense. I would say that, you know, I feel good about my defense right here Once again beautiful defense we get the knockout from the universal he did a good job getting coverage He's nine for 21. He has three interceptions. I feel very confident about my defense right now We only have you know 13 points, but it's always putting us in a position to be in a tough spot right here He goes play action here and we get up I mean, we just I want one of those guys to catch one of those pop-up passes Nine for 22. I want one of those guys to catch up a pop-up pass right there and and we'll be the game It'd be over how many times is the ball popped up? We don't get catches third and ten right here. Our defense has been great. I got the room back. He hits waller and I Absolutely puts the jets on night train lane with Darren waller I mean and he runs on the sideline here and or run the goal line and He's gonna actually fall down a score, which is good. I guess but I mean absolutely whoops wall I mean all day. We've been covering these and he just gets absolutely perfect timing perfect throw And I can't catch him. I don't know how fast waller is but he just Jetted on me. So now I'm down now. I'm losing one good throw two good corner outs the waller. Is there's two touchdowns? I just need to feel well though. So I feel good.   We have beautiful pass like beautiful protection Dion's is hugs this guy like a loop blitz and Nobody blocks him. We're gonna have Y for 40 yards. We're gonna have B on a high ball But why look how open Y is gonna be here Right along the sideline like and nobody blocks the on and instead of getting a popped up incomplete pass We get a fumble that he recovers Absolutely tough, but Absolutely tough, but we got a chance all we got to do is hold him here use our timeouts You know, we're doing a good job He runs again So we got a chance he's gonna kick a field. We're gonna be down by it's we're gonna be down by four now We're gonna need a touchdown Tough 20 to 28 seconds. No timeouts. I have done more with less boys. I really have I Don't know how I'm gonna trust that play action again. I don't know what I'm gonna do here. Everybody's backed up Where's who might just try to moss down the sideline here Beautiful block pass protection here.  No, of course I don't get out of bounds. We got a spike the ball Tough nine seconds left That was good that was good play action beautiful pass protection I mean in my experience of playing Madden play action does a great job against this It really does but you know, it didn't work out that way on that play when I fumbled so Well double corner routes pass protection again is through the roof. We get a big catch by Randy Moss So we're in territory We're in shuck of territory. We really are We're definitely in shuck of territory. We gave ourselves a chance here We're over the same thing got two streaks pretty much He puts his everybody I'll just go for ag knocks out nothing. I thought I'd be I don't know what the hell I thought here I just saw him blitz absolutely everybody. Maybe I should have tap lobbed it We actually get decent pass protection too. I Was hoping I could ag him and run by him or something But he puts their by guard decide maybe I should have lobbed it up in the air maybe a shorter quick pass and We just get the ball knocked out GGs So that was the end of the game. That was then in tournament. We're done. Why are we done give two pass plays? We didn't get any pop-up picks We got the ball bounce off Keith Byers face when we could have ran a clock out We but at the end of the day we kicked way too many field goals We went for a fourth down early didn't get it inside the five We kicked three field goals. That's not gonna get it done or two field goals on offense Not gonna get it done. We only scored one touchdown.  So the tournament is cooked Lost the two players that we should win. We got to play better on offense. We got to score touchdowns We got to get it done. We got to be better. That's all I mean the game's only want to cheat you If you give it an opportunity if I score touchdowns that game, it's over by halftime, but We did it. He did a good job coming up with some clutch plays that DB fire gave me hell I like I Think I go back to my slide towards the running back let the running back go get the corner on the other side Definitely definitely sliding towards away from the running back is just simply not it not for me Maybe for you guys play action normally is really good against DB fire, but it sold me on that one play so Games inconsistent. That's this year. The game is the most inconsistent. It's been it's not bad, but it's definitely inconsistent compared to other years But I appreciate you guys liking these videos try to give you a little Thought of what I'm thinking and what I'm doing if you like these styles Like I said, please let me know the push to 40k continues


Welcome to the afternoon session here. I'm in fact not the moderator, but as I'm standing here, I will say hello, the moderator is this gentleman over here. My name is Roland. In between Helping Organize Fossage in the last six weeks, I've been working on building a satellite rotator or satellite tracker. And my talk today is why this is interesting and then actually only a little bit at the end about the device itself. So this all begs the question, how, what is it that an individual could do to talk to a satellite if you're not a telco? If you're a telco, you've got dishes and so forth. Almost since the beginning of radio, there's been a hobby, if you like, and a licensing arrangement for amateurs to use radio spectrum by themselves rather than in the context of a broadcast or a mobile network. This service, astonishingly, is still existing even here in Singapore. There are currently fewer than 100 licensees, but it has never died out completely. To understand where it sits, there are a few ways to lawfully transmit radio signals. The most common is what are called industrial scientific and medical devices. The example we're all familiar with is Wi-Fi. But Bluetooth and garage door controllers and wireless microphones and almost every other thing that you've got that transmits a signal and is not connected to a mobile network is an ISM-band device. The difficulty with ISM-band devices is that the power limits are extremely low. Whereas for some things you want to do, like talk to satellites, you need more than the amount of power that's permissible for ISM. For the licensed transmits, so this doesn't need a license, you just go and buy a Wi-Fi device and use it all. For license holders, really there are four groups. Broadcasters, TV, radio, mobile network operators, telcos, maritime, aeronautical and land mobile. There's a whole lot of people who like security guards who walk around with radios, not unlike this one, Walkie-talkies effectively, they have a distinct license to use that set of radios in that area for that application. And then finally, amateurs. The amateur service looks a bit like the land mobile service, except that amateurs are required to pass a theory exam on electronics and radio as part of the licensing because we get to make our own decisions about, to some extent, about what we transmit and how we transmit it. There are rules, and you've got to pass an exam on those rules, which means you have to know what the rules mean, which means you need to know the theory. So, there's kind of a question about why bother with amateur radio anymore. So back when there was broadcast radio in 1905 and amateur radio 1915, there was a whole vista of unexplored territory that amateurs got involved in. But bit by bit, communications has gotten easier for everybody. So, the internet in 1969, cellular mobile in 1979, mobile internet in 1996, and then ubiquitous smartphones and broadband in the last decade, depending which year you count. And so people ask sort of why bother. Before I get to that, I'll talk about evidence that there is a change. About half the world's amateur licenses are in the US. This is the number of licenses issued every year in the last decade. Something's happened in the last six years. No one is quite sure what, but we think it's the maker movement. So over time, everyone getting hypnotized with their smartphones became less and less and less and less interested in using amateur radio to communicate long distance. But quite suddenly, in 2008, something changed. And the guess is it's the maker movement. If you look at the definition of amateur radio, and you take out that third point, sorry, the second point about intercommunication, this almost defines the maker movement. This is the language that's been used to define amateur radio for more than half a century. And I would suggest that the alignment between people who are amateurs for most of the last century and people who are now makers is very, very close. So again, that doesn't have the question. Why bother? So there's some things that mobile phones can't do. If you're in a place where the mobile network isn't, then your mobile is completely useless. I mean, it's a smartphone that can play a little game of something, but it can't do any communication. So if you're in wilderness areas, if you're communicating in space, if you're bouncing stuff off the moon, which I'm aiming to do, maybe this year, maybe next, this is stuff you just can't do with mobile phones. Also, there's two different points. Where it doesn't exist or when it's down. So in both Haiti and Tibet in the last 12 months, there have been natural disasters which took out phone networks. At that point, emergency responders couldn't move around, except to the extent that they had their own radios. So amateurs got involved and began providing communications while commercial networks were rebuilt. But amateurs can set up even hours. Commercial networks take weeks to rebuild. DIY electronics. If you're making your own radios, then the only way to get those on air is to use an animal assets. So if the electronics itself is of interest. And finally, although I don't do it, high power operation. So it's fairly common around the world to use amateur radio to communicate via the ionosphere directly. So in theory, someone can communicate from here to someone in, say, New York without infrastructure, just using the Earth's ionosphere as a communication duct, despite the fact that it's on the opposite side of the planet. That requires a lot of... In fact, amateurs do a whole lot of stuff. Public service and competition are a big deal here. Long distances common. Repeaters satellite, my interest, which is basically a repeater that happens to be in orbit. Moonbounds which are working towards tracking high altitude balloons. If you release a high altitude balloon to take photographs at the edge of space, how are you going to work out where your balloon landed to get your camera back? If you're in an area with good mobile coverage but no expensive buildings like desert areas in Australia or the US, that's fine. Sometime as your climate comes plummeting to Earth, it'll be in mobile range for about 30 seconds. That's just long enough to get one message to tell you where your device is. But if that fails, or if it comes down an area where you don't have mobile coverage, then you will not find your balloon. If you won't find your camera. So there are people who do putting cameras on the edge of space who depend upon amateurs or parameters to track their balloons. So they're putting a transmitter on board the balloon that's more powerful than an ISM band transmitter and then using an ISM band and tracking the balloon as it goes up and comes down so they can find the camera and recover it after it lands. Some really extraordinary people wait for meteors to enter the ionosphere. As a meteor passes through the ionosphere, it leaves behind a trail of ionized gas which will reflect radio waves. It's only there for about 15 seconds, but that's just enough time for really determined people to bounce signals off it and have a very short conversation. I'm not making this up. This is perfectly clear. I'm not yet at the point where I'm willing to try that, but there are people doing it. Less ambitious there are guys in Sydney and Melbourne who actually use jumbots. They know where the 747s are. They are on predictable flight schedules. And a plane is much slower moving in much larger objects than a meteor trail, and so they just bounce signals off aircraft fuselage. It's fine. By the time the signal hits the plane, it's way below the noise threshold. There's not much power left. The guys receiving have a hard time picking up the signal, but the plane is. So it's doable. Direction funding for Fox Hunting is a sort of field game for playing, which we might do at Maker Faire this year. We'll see. And mountain topping, if you happen to like walking in mountains, it's actually fun to operate when you've got a huge amount of visibility. But my talk is normally about satellite. This introduces a whole lot of complexity. The first thing is, where is the satellite, or where are the satellites? There are... Oops, wrong screen. Right. This is live. There are about half a dozen, eight, I think, satellites capable of carrying amateur traffic. One of them, whose name I can't read them now, will actually come into signal range for us in 1346. Six minutes. So that circle we can see with its lower edge near Singapore is a satellite that's going northwest. That way. So we'll rise there in about six minutes. It will cross the sky in about 10 or 12. I thought it's all satellites.  These are... These are the only... these are the satellites that are currently in service and carrying amateur traffic. I believe so, yes. There might be a couple more. I thought there were about 12 or 15. This only knows about eight. I can't explain that. I suspect a few more. The number isn't huge, but it's enough to play. Australia's carpet, I assume, that might be geostationary, right? No, no. Every one of these is low-off. At the present moment, there are no geostationary amateur transmitters. There will be next year, and you will not believe which country's radio club is doing it. Qatar. What? Qtel is putting a new phone... a TV and phone geostationary satellite up next year. And apparently the Qatar Amateur Radio Club has managed to get itself space on that satellite. Space and power. So, in theory, in about 10 months' time, it can be possible for amateurs to, over most of Asia, including Singapore, to communicate via a repeater that's 35,000 kilometres up, and apparently stationary. Watch this space. That's actually fairly exciting, and it's quite difficult. The signal, while it's not moving, which is half the problems I'm about to talk about, is that the 30,000 kilometres each way is just a long, long way. The signal attenuation that occurs over that range is significant. For satellites that are moving, however, which all of these are, there's a whole range of problems. The first one... Hello? Switch back. Right. The first one is where they are. You've got predictions off where they are and can therefore tell you when a thing is about to rise over your horizon and where it'll sit. The next problem is that amateurs' satellites are, to put it politely, a bit cheap, up until QTELS. But generally, they're at a thing the size of a shoebox, they're just tumbling in space. They don't bother with attitude control because that requires fuel and extra mass and extra power. So, if you've got a pair of antennas talking, they need to be roughly parallel. So, if you've got a satellite that's tumbling at random in three dimensions, then you have a problem. The solution to that problem, the reason my antenna has a nice soft foam handle, is not only do you point your antenna at the satellite, you twist it so that your antenna matches the orientation of the satellite's one, and it will change continuously, very slowly, but it will change continuously. So, free-handing is the way to do it. The other thing you can do is take advantage of the fact that the two signals don't interfere with each other. So, instead, use two. This is not something you can do with a free-hand if you've got a dual-band antenna, but if you notice the steel box there and there's a steel box there, you might have to guess that they are similar. In fact, it's the same device. I haven't yet done the two antenna loop. This is the device I'm building, and what I intend to get to is this position where it has two antennas at right angles, so that the orientation problem no longer applies. As long as the thing is pointing in the right direction, it will get enough signal between the two antennas to operate, except for the one case where the antenna is oriented that way. At which point? But that's, no, okay, one over 100, you won't be able to talk about it. That's the easier problem. The next one is something called Doppler. This is the, you know, trained pitch changes from you. The effective ground speed of a low-earth orbit satellite is about 20,000 km an hour, horizon to horizon in 15 minutes. And so, that's fast enough that even for radio speed of light communication there's a measurable Doppler impact of several percent, and that means that you've got to adjust the frequency of both your transmitting and receiving radios to compensate for Doppler. Now, if you can transmit them, let us suppose that B is the satellite. I'm here in position A in Singapore and someone else is, let's say Tokyo. The whole point of wanting to talk through a satellite is that we can't see each other directly with this particular band. So there might be other people using it that I can't hear. So the deal is that when you're doing satellite, because of all the other problems, orientation, attitude and Doppler shift, and then when there's a gap you then transmit, but you continue listening. So you're transmitting and receiving at the same time. So that requires two things. One is a radio capable full-duplex operation. There are six models of the hundred models of a radio in wide use of the world today. There are about six that can do it, none that are legal in Singapore. Fine. So fine, I'll just use two radios. It's perfectly fine. You listen with one and you're transferred to the other. You're at risk. If you have a PA system where the microphone gets too close to the speaker, you get this howling sound while the same is true for radio. And so the solution to that problem is for the transmitting or the uplink frequency and the downlink frequency to be not only two different frequencies, but on two different bands because the satellite can't afford the weight to carry good filters for frequencies that are close together. So put them so far apart that they don't interfere with each other at all. Meet along elements in one direction and 35cm long elements in the other direction. The two separate bands, one's used to transmit, one's used to receive and get right angles to each other to make it even less likely that they want to fear. Right. That's the list of problems. And so why build a tracking device? So the conventional amateur radio operation is listening and talking and making entries in a logbook. Mine's in here somewhere. To do what I've just described with a satellite without a tracker you have to point the antenna of the satellite forward across the sky, rotate the antenna to match the orientation antenna, perform Doppler correction by hand and sneak and listen and make entries in a logbook. I don't have that many hands. So make life a bit easier. Use a device like this which has a 2-axis mount so it will both tilt and rotate. So it's capable of tracking a device with a satellite across the sky. If you use the two antennas to solve the orientation problem then we don't care about the orientation of the satellite. There's a small loss in signal for doing that but it's easier than trying to rotate the antenna. And although I can't do it yet having to use a computer software perform Doppler correction on your radio's frequency. The computer won't transmit but it will tell the radio what frequency to operate. So second by second make little changes. And they're predictable. We know where the satellite is and it's uploaded onto a computer and everything is going to do it. It's back to listen and talk and maintain entries in a logbook which is what Amit has been doing for decades. So I've got a couple, I'm looking at two designs. I started with a sort of an old faithful by a guy named Mark Spencer which I now regret. Firstly it's a recipe rather than a complete design. Secondly the control has been antiquated so reprogramming requires certainly it's by metal robotic parts and machine it's been a while since I was in high school. My metal working skills have declined. So if you look at it closely it's a bit rough. The other thing is all U.S. parts are U.S. robotic parts and they're all imperial measures. So I'm sitting in a hacker space and I'm like oh I need a screw which does this. Nope. Everything we have even in a hacker space so there are no loose parts available for the solving problems. And finally it's not weatherproof. It's really only intended for tripod mounting for portable use. The one that I rather wish I had picked up is a thing called Sat-Mods. It's a much more modern design. It's really printable, it's parametric. You can take the designs and scale them up or down if you wish. It's not just a fixed design. They use a BeagleBone to control it which means the software is actually accessible and easy to modify and complete and importantly they're running a global tracking network. So they currently run about half a dozen ground stations. I'll add one if I can find a site in Singapore. It's a bit tricky. Which then allows satellites that don't have like a coverage to be tracked wherever they are subject to other demands on the network. But yeah it's this sort of aluminum and nice gears generative area spreader and tracking software. It's a much more contemporary approach to the problem not as tried and true as this one but no need to work still. So I wish I had done this one first. Habitatek questions what I will attempt depending upon what Gepodik tells us. I've now lost my predictions of what it says. After the talk Right, that one is too much marginal. I'll look at it upwards. Sometime this afternoon I will go outside and actually do a demonstration of at least the received site. I have two radios but I'm not yet set up to try and do it properly. Not using the tracker just pre-handling. Those who are looking backwards when the photo is being taken might as well be playing. And it is all working. That's all I want to talk about at this point. Did this make any sense? Does anyone have questions? It's done so well. It's all and all of them. Not digital. You're actually transmitting. What are you actually transmitting? So right now it's just voice, yes. Are there any rules or anything against digital? That's a bit of a landmine but a bit of a minefield. Broadly it's okay. IDA's rules are a little outdated and so there's a bit of give and take there. Nothing. Once you get beyond a certain degree of precision, yes. Getting to that point is quite difficult because you've got to have quite precise placement of your equipment. You've got to know which way north is. Yeah. Once you get to a certain degree of precision, yes. And there are packet modes. The more common one is Morse. But there are also custom modes that are digital but not automatic communication systems. So things like what's called JT65, which I tend to use for the moon bounce, because each set of six bits or you end up with a group of six bits being sent as one of 64 tones. You can hear it if you listen to it. It's a mode that you can't decode by listening to it. But it's also a mode that you, a computer is listening to a decoding that still expects an operator to be dealing with antenna and transmitter. When you're ready you say, yes, send this message. You type it and you press enter and it does. But you're still controlling the radio and decode signals rather than a full sort of Wi-Fi type computer. Why isn't there a full Wi-Fi type set up by now? There's not much reason for it. If you want to do that sort of stuff you can use Wi-Fi. There's little reason to do it for satellite Wi-Fi type operation with all the problems that satellite has. It is really tough. It's a bit fiddly. It's possible but it's sort of getting outside what is typical for amateurs. Am I sorry? I thought I had another 10 minutes. I voted. Thank you, Roland for sharing all this information.


Hello, welcome to today's CMC Markets Commodity Snapshot. Today we're going to be looking at the price of crude oil, namely the Brent contract, and how the crisis in Iraq and the technical chart pattern is setting up prices going forward. In the week before last, when the news came across the wires about the escalating problems in Iraq, we saw a huge surge in the price of Brent crude oil. That followed through the week after, with a break above 1.13, which had been capping the recent range in the price. But this week, we've not seen quite the follow-through. And so we need to consider why that might be and if there's going to be a further retracement, or if, in fact, this rally breakout can continue. Clearly for energy prices at the moment, the main consideration is the crisis in Iraq. But what we have to look at on the way forward in this fundamental outlook as to how Iraq can affect things are some technical considerations. For example, last week's COTS data from the futures exchange for Brent showed that positioning for oil had got massively net long. And even though that's obviously showing a demand for the commodity, what you can often get is a pullback in the other direction catching a few people off guard when it gets overextended like that in one sentiment, when sentiment gets overextended like that in one direction. In terms of the general situation in Iraq, oil prices have reacted so far to the potential or threat of a supply shock, but that shock has not actually taken place yet. Even though the militants are committing more violence, making more progress into the country towards the capital in Baghdad and threatening the stability of the government, all of it so far is just a threat. But so far, there has been no actual decrease in the supply of oil out of Iraq. And until that looks a lot more likely to take place, I think we could see some more subdued action in the price of oil and the next leg higher may need that extra genuine supply problems from Iraq to take place before we can see that take place. So I want to look at the chart now just to see where some of the barriers for any corrections in the price could take place. Now, this is a weekly chart for the price of Brent crude oil. And as you can see, there's been a long-term triangle which has been restricting the price for a long time now. But the week before last, we saw that big breakout. It hit 113. The resistance from these two prior peaks inside the triangle and then last week finally broke higher and pushed towards 116. But what you can see is that there's another technical barrier from a trend line connecting the two highs from the early stages of 2013 and sort of mid-2013. And so for the moment, that's what's caused this slight pullback in price for the moment. And so until that barrier can be surpassed around 116, it looks like we could see some support coming back in at 113. The resistance has turned back to support on a pullback to that area. And we could see some demand coming back into the price. And if we do see some escalation in the violence and a genuine threat to the price of oil, that may be the key to getting through that 116 barrier. Thank you very much for watching today's CMC Commodity Snapshot. My name's Jasper Lawler, and good luck trading.
