Okay, good morning everyone, welcome to receive 310, our class on church and state administration. Let's pray and we will get started. Somebody could pray please. That's great. J. Heavenly Father, we come to you under the name of Jesus. We thank you for this day. We thank you for the class here about to help. But as we are understanding about church and ministry administration. As you have all this you have given a purpose in our heart, but I just pray that you help us to understand the practical and the spiritual aspects that we are learning so that we can do the commission that you have given us so that we can preach the gospel to the ends of the world and we can lift up your name. We give all my classmates in their hands. We bless Pastor Ashut over here and God we just pray for a good life like a nation throughout the session so that nothing would be a distraction to us. We give you all the glory and honor and Jesus name. Amen. Thank you. Thank you everyone. So sorry, Mr. Glass last week. We will continue from where we paused two weeks ago. We talk about volunteer management. There's some practical things on how we can engage volunteers. And in church in Christian ministry that's a very important part because a lot of the work, especially in a church context is done by volunteers and volunteers would be serving and working along with church staff. So we need to know how to have both sets of people, church staff for full time working in church. And those are volunteers who are giving a little bit of their time, their skills, how to have them all work together in a very peaceful way, in a very cooperative way. That's a very important part for a good, healthy local church and local Christian ministry. Any questions on volunteer management before we move forward to the next question? Any other questions? Any questions on volunteer management? Any thoughts? Okay, so let's move forward to our next chapter. I will share this screen. So I'll talk a little bit on communications. That is between, so communications. Let's say communications. It is communications within, among the church staff, the people are working together. There is also communications between the church and say volunteers, the church and the congregation. And the church and the wider audience, I can say the world. So there are different levels of different kinds of communication that we need to be aware of and be ready to do. That means I'll just repeat that. So there is internal communication which is within the church staff and all the people are working together as a team. We have to coordinate so that the communications has to be very strong, very quick. There is also communication between the church and all the volunteers, the people who are coming and helping, you know, in different times of the week or the month. And there's also communication between the church and the congregation. You know, from your people out there, the church needs to keep them informed. And then there's communications between the church and the crowd, you know, the world around that we are trying to reach. Now, in the meantime past, we used to tell brochures, we used to have printed communications. No, so please pick up the brochure on your way out or please pick up the... What is it called? Bulletin, yeah, bulletin. Please pick up the church bulletin on your way out after service or something like that. And so all the information is to be, you know, in printed form. So please pick up the bulletin or something. Please look at the notice board. Those were the ways we used to do it. But now, because, you know, this digital communications has come in, our medium of communication has changed. So we can now communicate almost instantly. We can communicate many times during the week through digital. You know, with an email, a WhatsApp message, so many things. And we can also communicate very creatively through videos and graphics, so many. So communications has really changed, hopefully for the better. It's given us opportunity to communicate more often and more easily and less expensive before we had to print bulletins. Of course, all of that costs, you know. Now it doesn't cost anything to send an email or send a WhatsApp message for the most part, right? So let's talk a little bit. So just some basic guidelines, you know, how do we communicate? Now, why is communication important? One is people, you know, need to feel informed. It creates that enthusiasm or the zine. It keeps people zealous for the church, right? When they feel informed, oh, this is what church is doing. They feel that that enthusiasm for the house of God is maintained. So communication is part of that. The more we communicate correctly, people can really feel enthusiastic about the ministry and what we're doing. If they don't hear from us, they think, oh, the church is not doing anything. Everything is quiet. They want that zine and the passion can just go away. People feel connected when they're informed. They say, okay, I am part of this community. It's a form of connecting them and they know what's happening in the church or some important events. It also gives them a sense of ownership, especially if they're able to contribute towards some decisions. They feel like, okay, I am part of this. So we are not just doing a one-way communication. It's a two-way. They can give their ideas. They can give feedback. They can give their input. So there's a two-way communication. They feel part of what is happening when they are able to contribute to the decisions. There is also alignment. That means everybody can move on the same direction. There we are. We are all going and doing the same thing. So there is alignment in what's happening. People can also feel very cared when they... If any communication comes in a timely manner, if they receive a call, they receive encouraging words. They receive something that really helps them. They feel cared for by the church. So communication is a way of expressing it. Of course, we want to inform people about where things are, what is happening, different areas of ministry. That's how we can inform them. And also internally, when we share stories, when we share testimonies, employees or staff will feel inspired. So there are a lot of benefits for having good open communication. Now, the next point, the talk that I want to come on is to think about areas. Communication should be two ways. That means sometimes all our communication is only one way. I talk, you listen. But what if they want to say something? What if they want to share an idea? What if they want to give feedback? So we should have channels for dialogue. That means for people to talk to us. Now, of course, we cannot have dialogue when we do like a mass email or a mass broadcast or WhatsApp messages. That is all one way communication. So we need to think about how can we give opportunity for people to engage with us. So some thoughts. One is if we have an email ID that says feedback, that's what we do. We have an email ID that says feedback at apcw.org. But any person in the church, if they have a thought, they have an idea or even if they have a complaint or something, they can always send an email to that and it will reach us. We can listen to that. We can find out what's going on. That's one way. The other option is that in smaller groups, in all our teams that are set up, we have time for discussion or brainstorming. But people are involved in that particular area of ministry in contraband. So that's easier to manage because it's very focused. It's focused on that particular area. This is not enough here. What shall we do? What can we do? We ask questions. We brainstorm and so on. So that happens with smaller, smaller, smaller teams so that people can contribute to those things. The other thing which we do from time to time is to have what we call an open house. Of course, in the past, we've done it online so that people can connect from anywhere. Open house, you can ask us any questions, anything about church. So anyone can connect and answer. Before we went online, our open house used to be in person. So one or two Sundays in a year, we'd say, okay, it's open house. Everybody can all stay back and ask life after service. Those are interesting. You stay back, ask any questions about the church or give any feedback. So those things we've done in the past and then we do it online now because then it makes it a little easier for people and they can connect from any location and we can have an open house online. But people just ask any questions about the church. So doing that once a year, twice a year is useful so people can... And similarly for our staff, staff meetings happen every month. We let different people participate, ask questions, interact and so on. And the idea of giving ongoing constructive feedback is always open. So people can give us feedback anytime. So there are channels where they can... Whether it's the staff or people in the congregation, they can give feedback to us. So that's very important. We should listen. I'm not saying we can do everything that people say because people have all kinds of ideas. But we have to listen. At least acknowledge that we have heard what you said and if we have something to respond, we can respond. Another important thing is this is very important. Our communication must be open, honest and direct. Because this is what builds trust among people. Now think about the congregation. Think about the people are coming to church. They're coming and they're part of the church because they trust. They trust the leaders. They trust the pastors. They're also trusting the community. That I will be safe in this community. I will grow spiritually. I will grow my love for Jesus. I care and serve the Lord. So they are giving us their trust. And we have to know the way we communicate. We should only affirm and strengthen the trust that they have given to us. And for that our communication must be open. It must be honest and it must be direct. Open means that we are ready to share necessary information. And if something has gone wrong, we should accept it. At least in a relevant manner. That means to the people who I need to tell, I need to tell that, hey, we made a mistake. If I need to say this to the whole congregation, I need to say it to the whole congregation. If I need to say it to a group of people, I need to say it to them. But it has to be honest and I need to take responsibility. I'm going to say, I mean the pastors, the leadership, they need to be honest. If they made a mistake, they will be made a mistake. And we need to be direct. That means state thinks very clearly.  What needs to be said about our success, about our failures, about changes. We need to communicate very clearly. So communication is important because it is through that communication, we are going to build a trust to the people. I mean, people trust us, they will be committed. So if people don't trust us and if they feel like, hey, he's not telling the truth, their commitment will go down. And at some point, they may leave the church also. The commitment to the church would become almost nothing. They will just feel free to leave because what has happened is they become suspicious about our communication. They're not telling us the truth. Actually, the real issue is something else and they're giving us a different story. And if they become suspicious, if they think that's what we're doing, and in fact if that's what we're doing, the level of trust and level of commitment will go down. So that's why having open honest direct communication, especially in modern matters, that matters that affect the community, that affect the church, we need to speak, we need to say, share. I'll share a little later how we do this, some of the things that we practice and just sharing the principles. Also, when communicating with a congregation, the church congregation or if it's a Christian minister communicating with a donor, we must not overdo communication. We don't keep sending an email every day. That's it.  So it should be regular but not too much. So as a rule, what we have been practicing is maximum two emails in a week, maximum two WhatsApp messages in a week. The plus one, that is, if there is an emergency, then we can send one extra email. Something has happened. There's a change of location. Something, an emergency. What if there's going to be a funeral? Then, okay, we can send an extra email. Otherwise, no more than two emails in a week, no more than two WhatsApp messages in a week. That's our rule. So people don't feel that, hey, I'm getting a message every day from the church. Then they may not like it. So we have to be regular but don't overdo it. We need to be sensitive to how much we can communicate. And then we take advantage of that. We can put other information on the church website. So if people are interested, they can go to the church website. They can have a list of all the events that are coming up or other information, whatever they want. It's all on the website. So we just point them there. So this is something to just think about. When you're communicating with a congregation, keep it regular but don't overdo it. Don't do too much. Some biblical notes here, the Bible tells us that our speech or our communication must be with grace. It must be seasoned with salt so that we know how to speak. So it must be gracious, kind, and it should be wise. Season with salt means there's thought that is visible in this communication. You know, just speaking your mind, just saying what you want to know. There's grace and there is wisdom in communicating carefully whether it's written or oral, probably communicating. And Paul tells us, you know, be an example for the believers in your speech, how you are communicating. Be an example to the believers in speech. And our communication should not be dictatorial, domineering, controlling. It should be kind, it should be gracious, it should be compassionate. So some practical things here. One, use good English or, you know, if you're using some other language, any other regional language, whatever language you're doing it, I'll just speak English now. So that means use good English because if you make spelling mistakes, if you make random mistakes, the English is not good, it leaves a bad impression, especially if you're in an urban context. If you're communicating with people who are professionals, they are used to working on these corporate jobs and they're interacting with people globally. Of course, their expectations are much higher of how we communicate. So we need to be on that level. And nowadays, we have so many tools that we can use. If you're typing in your Word document, it does auto-correct, it gives you correct spelling, correct your grammar, correct everything. So we can take advantage of those tools and make sure that our English is good. Use good etiquette. That means, you know, not only the English, the grammar and the spelling is good, but how we communicate. The courtesy, the manner in which we communicate should also be good. So we use proper salutation, you know. So reading so and so. Salutation, applaud, express gratitude, instead of commanding, you place a request. So it's the same example. Make sure you come at 4 o'clock. So that's like a command. But instead you could say, could you please come at 4? Or shall we meet at 4 p.m.? So that's a better way to communicate. That's making it a request rather than saying come at 4 o'clock or make sure you come at 4 o'clock. So just how we say could make such a difference how the person receives it. Be patient with people within reason. So that means, you know, in our interactions and the communication, example. Suppose somebody is pointing out a problem. Or some other things may happen often in a church setting. They want to debate a theological issue. Example. This happened recently. One person sent me an email. I don't believe in writing. Why you say we have to write?  So I responded. I said, you know, you're free to hold your opinion. Even if you want to say you don't want to type. You're not forcing anybody to type. I just said, you know, here are reasons why I believe typing is something we do as we just believe. I gave the scriptures and I just sent it back. I replied to the email. Then the person asked, is this open for debate? Then so now, you know, it's almost like it's getting into a place of kind of argument or something. So I have to be very careful how I responded. I simply, I didn't answer the question, is it open for debate? I don't want to get into a back and forth email. I don't want to get into that. So I just said, you're free to examine the scriptures and come to your own conclusions and follow your own conclusions. Basically, I'm saying I'm not interested in a debate. I have given you the scriptures. You can study the scriptures. Then so I left it at that. Then I got another email that they are explaining all the reasons why they feel that I didn't even respond. So we are patient with people. So I'm just giving this as an example where, you know, sometimes they can be this kind of from people who are coming to church. They may argue about, they want to argue about something theological something like that. You're patient within reason. That means, look, I'm not going to change our belief, but I'm willing to share with you, but I don't want to get into argument. I don't want to get into anything. You make up your own and you're free to have your own opinions. So that's really to be careful, you know, rather than getting into someone back and forth debate or an email. No, no, no, no, just, you know, you make up your mind. Be patient with people. Be kind. Now, I said, don't harm the organization. It means you have to be careful. Is that person in any way affecting the community? For example, if the same person started, you know, sending emails to everybody saying, hey, Maya, you got it. Then I would handle that differently and say, hey, please don't disturb other people. You know, don't trouble other people. If you have a question, we'll answer your question, but don't go and disturb others. So we don't want to harm the community, but so we have to be careful. Be kind with people. So in our communications, we have to always be kind. Sometimes people can irritate us and trouble us and sometimes criticize us. So when I get emails that criticize or, you know, try to keep pointing flaws, I just leave it aside. For example, you know, this started sometime back. I don't know when, but there was one person almost every week he'll send an email and he'll be pointing out something wrong in our church service. In the beginning, when I first started receiving emails from this person, I thought this person was genuine. Like, yeah, he'll point out maybe music was too loud or worship leader was not standing properly. Worship leader was not taking communion properly when everybody was saying, almost every... So initially I thought, okay, this person is genuine. He wants to help us. So I acknowledged, I used to acknowledge that email and then I used to share that feedback with whoever needs to know. Then it was happening every week and this person would become the silliest of things. Then I realized and it was upsetting me, right? Either on a Sunday or Monday, I'll get one email from this person. Something was wrong in the service. And it was really upsetting me. Like, what is this? I'm a small thing, he will point out. Sometimes it'll be in my sermon, how I spoke, how I was walking on the stage, what shirt I was wearing. So many things, you know, all kinds of things. The email will come. Then I realized, okay, you know what? I'm just not going to answer and I am not going to be troubled by this email. I'll just leave it there. So I just stopped even responding. Just, okay, I don't want to get in any kind of fight or argument of this, okay. They can say, you know, they can say, so we just have to be kind.  So these things happen. We need to thank people and, you know, wherever possible, respond promptly. You know, when people send an email or message, respond promptly. Let me just move on. Number three, in our communication, I think these are three golden words. Please, thank you. And so use these words lavishly. So every sentence, you know, try to use please. Could you please do this or thank you for this or if you make a mistake, say, I'm sorry or I'm sorry, I apologize. I am not able to meet you today. Can we meet another day or whatever. So these are three golden words that especially in written communication, we need to use these words because when we write an email, it's only letters. The emotion is given by the person who's reading it, you know. So the person who's reading it, in their minds, they can make up anything. They can even attribute to the text, the email, emotions of thoughts that you were not having or you were not even thinking about. So we have to be very careful. But that's why when we say please or thank you, sorry. It's like, you know, it's trying to make that emotion very gentle, very kind, very gracious. In conversations, discussions, you share an idea as a suggestion, not as a mandate. When there are times when we have to say something must be done, you know, something that's very important has to be done and we must get this done. But otherwise, most of the time we are presenting our ideas as a suggestion and say, hey, you think about it or let us think about it. How do we do this? Or should you consider how about exploring this option? So basically we are introducing our ideas as a suggestion most of the time. That means we're saying, hey, let's do this together. There may be times when we say this is very important, it has to be done. Some matters that are very critical. But otherwise, try to keep our communication as ideas and suggestions not as a mandate. This thing, this part, number five we already discussed earlier that when you are discussing difficult matters always do it in person or on a video call. It's better to sit and talk rather than just sending an email or a WhatsApp message. Say, hey, can you come and meet me? Then sitting together we can discuss the matter. Or if the person is in a different place or following, then we can do it on a video call. So difficult matters always do it in person or on a video call. When you are communicating, be clear, so there has to be clarity about what you're saying, to whom you're saying, and why you're saying it. If there is no clarity and then people are left hanging, they don't know what exactly you're trying to say. So consciously, am I communicating clearly? Is the message clear? Number seven, when you're doing things by email, try to keep it short. Don't write long emails because most people won't read it. Nowadays, people don't like to spend time reading long long things. So keep emails short, brief, as simple as possible. And of course, use technologies to communicate. So these are some thoughts here on communication. Just trying to keep it simple. So from a church perspective, some of the things that we try to follow, like I said, one is we try to do just two emails a week, just two WhatsApp messages in a week, nothing more. Our Sunday announcements also follow a five by five rule. That means only five announcements, five items, and within five minutes. The whole video announcements, normally, from start to finish, the intro and the outro have standard information, giving and so on. And then, only five items, apart from the standard intro and outro, every Sunday, only five, we try to keep it, only five things you talk about in the analysis. And that's it, we're done. So we try to follow that, a five by five rule. Now, yeah, there will be some exceptions. Sometimes on this, we may have to announce extra things, and if they're really important, we have to include it. But a general rule is, just talk about five things, because people are not going to remember more than five things. Five announcement items, keep it within five minutes. If we have to do a report, like some of those admissions or some conference app, and even that report is okay, keep it within one minute, so don't make a long report, just one minute, show the highlights. So that will add that in those Sundays, maybe we'll have an extra minute, five plus one, six minutes, six, seven, and that's maximum. So we have created our communication in our Sunday service through the announcements. We're trying to be very brief, keep it short, only on a New Year's Day service, we do a year interview, video recap the whole year, that will be about eight minutes, generally. So we are conscious of those things. The rest of the information, we keep it on our website, so that keep our website updated, so that people can go look at information, events, things that are happening in church. So that information is always updated on our church website, church website is updated every week, so content is kept up to date. Any questions about communication from the church, amongst church staff, so don't hesitate. I have a few personal questions, maybe. I just want to know, do you take care of all the communication, like all the feedbacks from the church people, like how do you manage your time on that, how do you find, like you said you send two messages to me, that's from the sending part, but even about the receiving part, if people are sending too much emails to you, people might send, they have a very big congregation, so do you prefer to answer like one or two a day, how do you take care of that? Yeah, so the fact is we get lots of emails every day, so emails are coming in from all over the world. It's not just our own congregation writing to us, but there are emails coming from people all over the world and all kinds of emails. So, how do we handle this? I don't handle all the emails. I handle the emails that come directly to my email ID but even that is a lot. But generally we have somebody who handles all our emails, so example emails that go to contacts, so that's where most of the emails come. They go to contact at APC. So that comes, that's the general public course, so emails to contact the emails that come to prayer, people sending in prayer requests are there emails that come into member care, that is our church people asking for help, there's emails that come into feedback or testimony, so all these texts. I see them but I don't respond to them, so those emails are handled by one dedicated person, so we have one dedicated person Smith Brown, so she handles, she's in charge of communication. So it's her responsibility to read all the emails and respond. So that's like almost like a job, it's like a dedicated person. So because there are so many emails coming she is responsible and then if that email needs to be sent to somebody else, she will forward it. You know depending on that email she's the one who reads, responds and forwards all the emails here. Now even emails that come to me directly, there's a lot of emails and honestly I don't read all my emails. I cannot read all my emails. It's very difficult. So I will select I will only I will look at the emails I mean who's coming who's coming and so I will respond to the ones that are important, the ones that I know I need to respond especially within our staff amongst them. Even then I'm not able to keep up with all the emails. Just within our staff because so many things are happening I don't know. So personally I may get probably my inbox let's say I'm just estimating maybe I maybe a more than 100 emails every day coming in directly to my so I cannot follow them I cannot personally respond to that. So what I've done is I've created separate folders for all our staff because they are important. So any email that comes from our staff goes directly to their particular folder. So I know that okay, for example Pasachekumar it goes directly to his folder. So okay I have to read this email and respond. Now I may not be able to do it today itself but sometime during the week I'll go to his folder and I'll look at his emails. I can respond to it. So all our staff at least in my inbox all our child staff have a folder. So when an email comes from a particular staff it goes directly to that folder. So I'm already automatically segregating those emails because those are I have to go and look at this all the other emails go to a common folder which means everybody others email before a common folder so that's something I actually am not able to read. And I'll just quickly glance if I see something that I need to respond, I would respond. So that's why we have somebody dedicated to handle me. All other emails and only the important ones others. And then some emails are more of a documentation meaning they are more for keeping records. So especially all our financial matters so there will be lots of emails on our accounting and all that. I don't read all that but they're just going in there as a record. I have a record. If I want to go back I can go and look at it. I can figure it out. So a lot of those accounting type emails I don't need to handle it because there's an accountant who handles it but I get a copy. It's in my folder, it's a separate folder but I can always go and read it if I want. I can always look it up but I don't read it because there's an accountant who is responsible for that. So again that's another category of emails. Similarly there are missions related emails I don't read all of them. These will be reports from all our churches I don't read all of them but it's there if I want to I can always go back and I can look it up but there's somebody who's handling missions. So I know that those emails are being handled by whose personnel is handling missions. So I know those emails are being handled so that's why I don't need to read them but I do get it's already in my inbox and I get it goes to a particular folder. So if at any point I want to know what's happening in the church or say in 20 months I can just go to the missions folder and I can just open up the latest report. Every month they send a report. So I can open the report I can say oh that's what is happening but I don't read it every month. Like every email I won't be able to read it. So that's kind of what happens in real life. Any other question on communication in church and ministry? I have one more question. So we see so many rumors spreading inside the church. I have seen in some churches a lot of rumors spreading between the church or about the church outside has anything like that happened over here and if a rumor spreads how do you actually handle it any kind of rumors, maybe rumors about you or the congregation or any kind of rumors? Yeah so it's like when people basically I think if and when when people start talking negative about the church or spreading information that's negative about the church how do you handle it how should you handle it now has it happened to us you know let me say this I've heard some things now and then about all people's church you know but so as an example I give you some silly these are some silly things you know but way back in our journey in in forget the year but I'm thinking 2004 2005 we moved into an auditorium that was air conditioned so we used to meet in a different auditorium and we outdrew that we moved into an auditorium that was an air conditioned auditorium which is near MJ Road so then somebody's this is like a rumor on things spreading somebody came and said oh people are calling ABC as an air conditioned they're just speaking very bad like as it was our mistake to be using an air conditioned auditorium to observe the surface now when I heard it I was like I have people even bothering to say you know we just needed an auditorium we found an auditorium it happened to be air conditioned we are meeting in it it's not a big deal and so when I hear something and I heard something I just let it go I don't bother there may have been someone then I've heard some silly things most of these things that people talk about are silly so for example I've heard somebody say oh ABC is an MNC church meaning we are catering to people from who are working in multinational companies so I mean it is true that a big number of people who come to our congregation are working in international companies because they are professionals and so on but for people to use that as a to talk about us in that way I mean I just heard it I just let it go I say like you know I'm not I don't and then I've heard sometimes somebody say this pastor was comparing this church with that ABC the pastors were talking about some things so whenever I hear these kinds of things I just let it go I don't even pay attention to it I don't even think about it a second time in the sense that I don't waste any time on it so to answer your question are there people kind of rumors or things that people say about ABC maybe there are I've heard some few things do I pay attention to it I don't in my mind so I'm here to serve God I'm here to serve people and I just want to keep my heart and mind clean and just do that and that's it so I just don't let that distract okay so yeah let's take a 10 minute break we'll come back right after the break and then we get into our next yes

That's good. There you go. There you go. There you go. There you go. There you go. There you go. There you go. There you go. There you go.


Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. So I wanted to do today a video about Vivaant water. I'm gonna actually show you guys the the famous water bottle, the Nolgene water bottle I've been using for Vivaant water just brought it up there and I have to be honest and tell you guys that I'm not really making this video to talk about Vivaant water. I'm making this video because I have just figured out how to connect two webcams and I'm using the software that I'm making these videos with it's called OBS Studio. It's a really really cool piece of software I'm using it on Ubuntu, but you can also get it on Windows I think also Mac and I was doing one about a cellular router Got about two minutes into the video and then the router stopped working. So on V2 attempt number two What I'm actually doing is showing you the Vivaant water Okay, so I've talked about this before in different videos about ADHD and my treatment plan for inattentive ADHD and I've mentioned this thing called Vivaant water Now before I go any further got to mention the disclaimer that this video is not a Substitute for medical advice and if you are interested In Vivaants then I do encourage you to you know at least talk to your doctor about the possibility Is this something you could do now? I started out on Vivaants water because where I live and there isn't a 20 milligram Vivaants and that's what my doctor wanted me to start on So there's 30 50 and 70 but there are also Vivaants dosages in 20 40 and 60 milligrams So he said well just take 30 milligrams put it in water and discard two-thirds of the water and that will allow you to take 20 and I was like, ah, that's so clever Why can't everybody take Vivaants like this now? There is kind of a bit of a Debate I would say or it seems like there is to me among doctors regarding their sort of feelings about Vivaants water Some doctors you will find are against it. I did see a public psychiatrist Who was very much opposed and that doesn't make sense to me because you know, if you go on to Vivaants comm you will see Vivaants listed or Vivaants water listed as a thing that people can totally do So yeah, again, I'm not really clear exactly why there are some doctors who are just against it But does seem to be the case Now there's not a ton I can say about Vivaants water that I haven't already Said but I thought I would show you guys exactly what I am using for the process and Here we will do a fade to the no gene bottle So here it is No gene, this is what I picked up recently in the US and if you're an American watching this video I'm sure you've heard of no gene as somebody who grew up in Ireland I had actually never heard of this apparently Americans love these things are famous but it's great because now the reason I picked this up is I'm using 50 milligrams of Vivaants and this has Levels all the way up to 1000 milliliters, which is one liter now if you think about the system for that I'm using Now this label needs to be redone because if I was actually taking 100 milligrams to 100 milliliters I may not be here making this video So it's 10 milligrams to 100 But I just did that sort of mostly to warn anybody I don't you know, I don't have roommates or live in college or have brought this out to somewhere where children are but it would strike me as a concern that I wouldn't want to Accidentally drug people and their children, you know So that is that and yeah, this one I liked it because I can do if I'm using that same Vivaans to water, you know formula. Well, I can do 30. I can do 50 milligrams I can do 70 which is the maximum daily dosage for Vivaans and if for some freakish reason my doctor wanted to put me on an even higher dosage than 70 which by the way I have heard that happening some people have gone Above 70 off label, I guess then I saw I kind of have all those options available to me here So yeah, that kind of struck me as useful. So it's just no gene But I do you do want to have Milliliter measures if you're if you're not if you're not a chronic overthinker like me, you can probably get away with the 70 700 milliliter water bottle because you're probably very very unlikely you're going to ever be prescribed more than that Vivaans More than that amount of Vivaans I did like the fact that this one went up to a thousand like some of the ones I saw and By the way, it was super weird to be in a water bottle store. I mean like yeah, I need them So I'm gonna need a water bottle with gradations are every hundred milliliters it's gonna have to be transparent and The last notch is gonna have to say a thousand. I'm not sure what they thought I was doing but Yeah, I did see some that were like went up to 800 and then just said like from here to fill is the top and I Just thought that seemed a bit dubious like where exactly is that top fill level so Basically, if you're trying to pick out a water bottle for water Vivaans or Vivaans water, whatever you want to call it I just encourage you to get a water bottle that like has clear levels so that you can see Exactly what you are taking What else can I say about this so yeah a couple of things how I use this because people did leave me comments here on YouTube asking Can you walk us through the day-to-day Vivaans water life? And I said sure I'd be happy to Number one I always use the same I always use the same What's that word same race same ratio ratio? I always use that 10 to 100 milligram to milliliter ratio um, just so that you know if I some I forget this or I have a kind of just like wedged on my head. That is how I do my Vivaans water um, so to start of every morning I Actually, it's the night before and I'll that'll be my next piece my next nugget of info. Um So yeah, I one really good thing about this um Vivaans water before I mentioned that actually is that You can uh tight trade down On the weekends or a vacation. So that's something really useful That you know, you couldn't do with the uh taking it as a pill Which is you know the conventional mechanism So if I on the weekends wanted to take 30 milligrams, so all I have to do is Drink down too. So I start here at 500 And what I would do is drink to 200 Because each 100 mils of Vivaans is sorry. Yeah, each 100 mils of water is 10 milligrams of Vivaans And and if I wanted to take 20 milligrams of Vivaans, I drink down to 300 mils and um I always leave it um just in case I change my mind and I'll talk about the What my doctor has allowed me to do in a second and so I never throw it out But I always put it there I always leave it there and then at the end of the day, I'll rinse out the bottle Before I'm going to sleep. Um, so that's just you know common hygiene basically, but do that So in terms of what you can do Regarding the the next day thing is um, some people Really struggle with getting going in the morning. I know that for me is like the ground zero of ADHD I get up in the morning And you know, I want to get into my office here and I want to get working. Um, but I My brain is like procrastinating and just having a hard time getting going So what some people will do is they will make the Vivaans um make up the Vivaans water the day before Which is what I do. So I finish with my dosage rinse my bottle Prepare the next day's Vivaans water And when you're doing that again, just really make sure to get all the little bits out And what some people do is they'll keep it next to their bed And uh, some people will either have it first thing in the morning or they will take some Then they'll go back to sleep And set on another alarm clock 40 minutes later. So if you have to get up at seven Set yourself an alarm for six twenty Do your Vivaans and then at seven the Vivaans should be already sort of in your bloodstream a bit And depending on your metabolism and helping you to you know get going with Get going with the travils the the things that you need to do in the day in order to be productive and all that so Let me just go and change something here on my screen levels Uh, so yeah, that is something that a lot of people do and it's a trick that works now Someone else asked me well, what's your dosing regimen? Do you take it like all at once? And what my doctor told me everybody's doctor is a different Person, I guess right and you will find different recommendations between medical professionals Um, what my doc said is that you know take it up to Uh in he said recommend doing two dosages No more than two So that would be let's say 200 mils and 300 mils or 300 mils and 200 mils And then making sure that the Time between dose one and dose two Is never more than four hours and I'll just explain if I can ever figure this out on my other screen I'm trying to like prepare the next screen here in obs and Failing Predigously at that endeavor. I'm trying to get myself and the webcams up on a screen Uh, I think I need to put the screen at the bottom actually Well, I'll keep talking while this goes on um, so what you can do is Do that and then make sure the second dose is not more than four hours after the first dose Now the reason for that the rationale there is that vivants is a long-acting medication and But some people still and I put myself in this category. They feel like it's just not working for For long enough, right? So if that is you and you're finding that you're just not getting enough time out of the medication Then what you can do is Just use this to like extend it a little bit. So if you're taking it for you know those I've just given up on the on what I was trying to do before If you're taking it for that amount of time Um, then you can just have it and um that four hours will extend it a bit now compared to Taking vivants is a pill which I tried a couple of times. Um, I found the water based method so much more Just much much easier on my system. Um And I think a good thing about the water method is that like Unless my doctor and I both are missing something major. There's no way to overdose, right? So if you're prescribed 50 milligrams of vivants That's what goes into the water bottle. There's 50 milligrams and you're not going to somehow take 80 milligrams So you might somehow there is a risk that you will screw up take Do a split dose take it too late or Take on the weekends a smaller dose and then forget that it's medication or not water and accidentally Finish off your water bottle at midnight. Those are all things that could happen But you may be up all night, but um, at least you don't have to worry about exceeding your your daily prescription So I think that's something useful Now in terms of the the 50 milligrams thing, so yeah, basically Having the second dose a little bit later will extend it and in terms of what I find from vivant water. It's that, you know It just hits better when I took the tablet Or the the capsule I guess to be to be technical I found that it just hit too hard and there's two things I found with ADHD meds that you don't want One you don't want that feeling of why this is like this packs a punch Um, which I definitely have gotten um, and the second thing you don't want is to Be in a situation in which you feel like you're on drugs of some nature And that's also something I've encountered when I was starting medications and I think that being able to increase um the daily dosages By 10 milligrams at a time has made those increases so much more manageable Now you could even go up five milligrams using vivant water Which is something even if you lived in a healthcare system with all seven vivant dosages 20 30 40 50 60 and 70 Sorry, that's six um, you couldn't increase by five milligrams because there just isn't that on the market so um, that's another really um good use for the vivant water And again, just be careful to make sure that you stretch out and speak to your doctor. That's my recommendation here I'm not offering medical medical advice because I can't but I if you know you do um, have a good doctor who you like and You're you're finding that that uh either you think your dose could be tiny bit lower uh, so you're between dosages between The dose is in your country. That's where you feel like you should be but you just can't get there through tablets um, you'd like to try this technique of stretching it out a bit um by taking the same dose and splitting it up in water so that the second one is pushed out a couple of hours Um, I can't really think of any other reasons why you might want to try this But those are two pretty good reasons in fact Um, then I encourage you to just ask your doctor and be prepared for a Disagreement to emerge like I find that some doctors, uh, you know Will um really oppose this um other doctors will be fully supportive of this So it does seem to be the case that you just need to sort of Um, either go with your doctor or if you don't think your doctor is being reasonable Um, then find one that's sort of I don't know better better fits Better fits your is not listening to you or whatever you might need to go to a different one Um, so what I'm showing you on this screen now I just also wanted to show you just what label printer I'm using so it's this one The dymo label printer. It's for sure a basic label printer. It's a handheld one So you just put in some batteries and the labels are like pretty Decent. I'm not sure they're actually waterproof, but you get so much tape in a reel that like If it came off just print one off. That's my label there and it's peeling a little bit here um You may as well just print a few labels and put a few in your backpack Um, so if you do this the split dosage, you might find that you do Want to bring your water bottle to the gym or to your office So I think that's another pretty good reason why you should have this Just you know, be aware that if you have this label, then people are going to know you're taking vivants Uh, so if the kind of warning people Um, not to take your medication is uh Is a concern for you, but you want to don't want to let the world know You have ADHD and you're taking vivants then you might you could just say I guess medication um, do not drink or medication 10 milligrams to 100 mils without specifying what medication it is. So again, I know I'm This is like tiny stuff, but these are just all things you might want to think about And yeah, this is a label printer. I use it's very good It was cheap and um, it does the job that I needed to Um So that is that so um, I know this video is contained really I guess just like basic info Um, as I said, I did this sort of because I wanted to play around a bit with my software But uh, I figured I'd just share all these details Because people do seem interested in it. Um, my main thing is just to encourage you to work with your doctor. So Um, definitely don't Uh, get prescribed vivants for one one's daily dosage and then put it in water yourself and Take it like eight times a day up to midnight because A you should stick with what your doctor orders And B that would be terrible because you basically have vivants constantly in your bloodstream Uh, and probably have a hard time ever sleeping and I doubt that's what you're going for Um, so yeah, that's my use of live into water. I do hope this video was useful Uh, if you'd like to get more videos from me about ADHD vivants linux Other topics feel free to subscribe. Thank you guys very much for watching


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. So this caps off my run of doing all the Tremors movies reviews this is for Tremors 6 a cold day in hell and This won't be the last one because we're actually going to get supposedly if everything still stays the way It's it's been planned out from what I've read. We will get a seventh Tremors movie this year October so we will see about that and that one is supposed to be called Mm-hmm. Where is it? Island Fury Tremors 7 Island Fury and yes The most important thing has been confirmed which is Michael gross will be in the film I don't know to what degree maybe just as a small role Maybe as a much larger role because as we know from Tremors 6 cold day in hell It looks like they're trying to hand the mantle over to Jamie Kennedy as Travis To be the new Bert Gummer so to speak, but we'll talk a little bit more about that But I'm excited that there's gonna be another one even though a cold day in hell I wouldn't necessarily recommend it because this is one of the worst ones. I Don't know if I like if I dislike this one more than number four because number four was like my lowest one I don't know. They're they're pretty close for me But yeah, so anyway, this is my last review for the movies But I'm also gonna be doing a review for the TV show which I found out is available on YouTube So stay tuned for that one So this one's directed by Don Michael Paul who also did Tremors 5 Bloodlines, which if you didn't see my review on that it's available on the channel. I did like that one That was a good kind of return to form after the disappointment of Tremors 4 The legend begins this was written by John Welpley and John Welpley only this is the very first time There's ever been a Tremors script that was written by one person and that's an interesting thing now Welpley was involved in the Scripts for Tremors 3 back to perfection Which is interesting because there are some Storyties back to Tremors 3 specifically and some ways they reference that film So it makes sense that that's why it was referenced so much as the guy who wrote the script also wrote that script And he also worked on the script for Tremors 5 bloodlines So he was involved with two of the good scripts So the fact that this script was actually not that great Was even more of a letdown because going into it when I saw oh John Welpley This could be good because he did three and five Now not so good in my opinion It's not the war like it's not the worst thing ever Like there was some stuff to enjoy with it and I'll talk about that but for the most part just not that good So Michael Gross is back in this one Which is the most important part as we know if you're a Tremors fan and Jamie Kennedy is back as Travis Which I thought he was good in Tremors 5 bloodlines, but he's annoying in this one It's like they amped his character up I think the writing of his character was amped up a little bit and and Jamie Kennedy played him more like Hyper and like in your face and I think maybe part of that is because they needed his Personality to rise up because they're trying to make him the new Burt Gummer So he kind of needed to kind of match the machismo and the loudmouth aspect of Burt Gummer But it just seems like overboard and on top of that It actually seems like they went overboard with the kind of back-and-forth between Burt and Travis Especially in the beginning of the film It does calm down a little bit as they go further into it But the very beginning like the back-and-forth they're having just ribbing each other A it's not actually funny when it's supposed to be funny and B it just goes on way too long It's like one of the jokes that they just keep trying to throw at you where it's just like here's the joke Oh, did you not laugh it at this time? Let me just tell it to you again. Oh, did you not laugh now? Let me just tell it to you again They just beat it to death and that's one of the things that really turned me off early in this film was their back-and-forth That need to be reigned in quite a bit and Jamie Kennedy's character Travis need to be reigned in quite a bit The original filming for this film was actually supposed to be done in the mountains of Bulgaria So yes, it was actually going to be done in a colder climate So there would have been actual snow now they couldn't do that because for some crazy natural reason Bulgaria ended up having the worst blizzard they've ever had and therefore they couldn't film there So what did they do? They needed to adapt because they still need to make the film They went back to South Africa to film so in the beginning when it looks like it's the mountains and it's you know Snow it's sand and with CG. They just made it look like it was snow Which if you're watching it you can tell like you can definitely tell that it's not actually snowing that it is sand if you know At least knowing this information. So yeah, so The does it doesn't look so good to be honest I feel like maybe they should have found another cold place to do the film So the problem is they then yeah So the opening scene was actually filmed in the desert and then they altered it to look like snow Then they used climate change in the film as a way to kind of explain away the fact that for the rest of the movie There's pretty much no snow Which you know at that point they were kind of able to get away with it because it's supposed to be Canada And you know Canada has some areas that there isn't a ton of snow all the time So and the fact that they kind of mainly stayed in like the research facility area actually helped as well So you kind of forget about that, but the beginning is just It's so obviously bad Yeah, you can tell it wasn't actually shot in the snow. Yeah But the first emergence of the Graboid is really really cool. That's the biggest payoff That's the initial payoff where he comes, you know flying out of the snow And is like spinning as he's coming out It looks good and the CG actually looks good on the Graboids and ass blasters in this film So I like that aspect of it Other than that But yes, I love the Graboids like jumping out of the ground that is a cool thing and Now Gummer runs the convenience store like Walter Chang did he's running Walter Chang's convenience store I did like that touch in this film I thought that was a fun cool kind of callback to the very beginning Because everyone liked Walter Chang in the first one. I assume because I did So the fact that Bert's there, he's actually kind of strapped for cash And that's it seems is one of the main reasons. He's running that convenience store Which puts him right back in the same situation that we're so familiar with with these tremors films is Bert or someone because it was Earl in the second one needs money. They're strapped for cash So what time is it? It's Graboid killing time for money, of course although Well, okay, he didn't I mean he didn't really get paid in the end He just got an exemption from the IRS and got his property back because Obviously in the beginning of this the IRS shows up and there is no worse Nightmare for Bert Gummer than the IRS showing up and saying government is seizing your property him being One of the people who most hates the government in film period So I thought that was kind of funny that that's how it started while he's working at this convenience store trying to get his money money back basically The ongoing joke in the beginning well It happened like a few times of him like changing teams and he's like no I just changed my hat dumb Which you know this kind of speaks to the script writing like I was saying the script writing is not that good and Especially the dialogue the dialogue is weak a lot of the what are supposed to be comedic moments are not funny at all they totally miss the mark and The I feel like the hat thing is is like the first thing in the film We were just like This is supposed to be like funny and that gave me a bad feeling From that point and it didn't get any better for for the comedic aspects There were a few small moments in it where I actually was like oh that was actually kind of funny for the most part No, the funny stuff was not funny In the beginning I kind of thought that like the flashback type things That Burt was having when he was sleeping on the roof of the convenience store I thought that was kind of like a PTSD type thing and they were gonna approach the film from that angle That could have been interesting, but instead they made it some sort of like Psychic link with the Graboids or something because he was infected because in the third movie Here's a reference to the third movie. He was eaten by one and went through its gastrointestinal system until he was cut out I Dumb like dumb like the PTSD aspect of it could have been really interesting and you could have made a film That's not just fun and funny. You could have made a film. That's also kind of poignant Now we decided not to go down that road Yeah Yeah, I wrote down Travis seems too dialed up in this one He's hyper and annoying and the back and forth between he and Burt is over the top and it goes on too long I cannot say that enough.  I like that.  Okay, that was fine But when you're gonna go down the road again of here's another Offspring from the first movie. No No, let's let's just not it's done. Plus the actress was Terrible and that's the other thing is outside of Jamie Kennedy for the most part and Michael Gross the acting in this is bad. It's probably the worst. It's been in this whole franchise so boo to that It was only a matter of time before the Graboids took to water because there is that moment when they're in a water setting and someone Gets nailed by a Graboid that was the only thing kind of the franchise was really missing Which hopefully we see kind of more of that in the island fury one number seven That would be really cool for them to kind of explore them Kind of being like sharks because if people don't remember if you didn't see my review on the first tremors Which you should go check it out. I have all of them now It would the initial concept of the tremor or sorry of the Graboids was supposed to be Like sharks like they were supposed to be the oldest most ancient life forms Predators but for land instead of you know, so they were to land what the sharks were to the ocean So to take the Graboids to water would be really really interesting and they do it briefly in here And I thought they were gonna do more of it, but they didn't so hopefully that happens for the next one The infection of Burt by the Graboid Graboid is kind of an interesting tie back to the third one But it ends up not really working out because they needed to kind of develop that a little bit more and like I said I would have liked if they went down like the PTSD root more. It would have been way more interesting It feels like they they do the infection thing, but they don't really like flesh it out a whole lot It's just like this is some sort of like half cook concept. Let's there it is Okay I'm happiest when I'm seeing Graboid goo flying and there's just not enough of that in this film now Don't get me wrong the moments when the Graboid goo is flying are nice They do a good job with it, especially the one where it hits the electric electrified fence underground And there's like that giant explosion from underground that comes up and it's like a geyser of Graboid guts that is Probably my favorite part of the film to be honest And they do have some other good moments of that stuff, but there just wasn't enough There just wasn't enough Graboid death in my opinion and guts that come along with that death The romance between the scientists and Travis is eye roll inducing They don't they didn't hit it as hard as I thought they were going to but the amount that they put in there was still too much It's dumb. It's cliche. It doesn't have any part in this story. It just let's not you know what? I mean, it's the most cliche writing.  We don't need it It's attracts from what we're here for fun killing Graboids Let's let's focus on that and the fact that this is one of the worst plot holes The woman who wouldn't get rid of her pants this dot this scientist Wouldn't let her pants go because when the Graboids pulling on it and she's going to die and Travis is saying take off your pants and she says no because I don't have underwear on That's not realistic Nobody in that situation would be like, oh, no, I want to keep my pants on because I don't have underwear.  The writing is not there. It is not there for this and Actually, the other thing to point out is that none of these people really seem to be Afraid of the Graboids at all, you know I understand Bert and Travis not really being afraid of the Graboids because they've dealt with them before plenty of times before But everyone else should have had some degree of fear or apprehension. It just seems like they show up Travis and Bert show up and everyone's all gung-ho like let's go kill these things that you know We don't think are dangerous at all. Like that's the way they're treating it and it doesn't feel realistic. It's it It's weird. It's it's dumb. It's bad writing Yeah, so But really that's kind of all I have to say about the actual events of the film like that You can't say oh a lot not a whole lot actually feels like it happens And I've been watching all these movies with my wife and she said Towards the end of the film. She was like it feels so random that like they're just doing all these things Randomly and it's not really cohesive and I agree with her on that assessment like it doesn't feel cohesive It does seem like they're kind of jumping from thing to thing to thing It's just like a bunch of random thoughts that went down on the script page And it just doesn't it doesn't work although, you know, I like the idea of them like Trapping the Graboid the way they trap the Graboid, but I don't know just Yeah So the acting in this is not good the dialogue is poor to boot I mean those two things together are really gonna hinder a film A lot of the intended comedy doesn't work. Yeah, it's pretty obvious They were trying to position Travis to take over the Gummer mantle because of his increased leadership role Which is really obvious in this and the line that was in the very beginning of it when Travis says that Or when Bert says that Travis is trying to be the heir apparent That's kind of the foreshadowing of where things are gonna go and then when we get to the point where you know Bert's laid up and Travis puts all his actual gear on and kind of looks a bit like Bert It becomes very very very obvious that that is where they're trying to go saying this could be the new Bert Gummer I hope not. I think they should just kill the films instead after that Yeah, the plan to catch let me go back to the very end of this the plan to catch the Graboid was actually really far-fetched And ridiculous the idea of catching the Graboid was fine And they could have done that but the way they did the plan it was so convoluted and everything had to be 100% exact and it just worked out that way and the Graboid had to react exactly how they thought it would You know, it's taking the aspect out of the Graboid that is they are smart And they learn and that's in the other films and that's for some reason not really in this film. So Yeah, it just screws with a lot of stuff Once the Graboids caught that's kind of a cool aspect, but how they do it is unbelievably dumb The scene of Travis crawling into the Graboids mouth though. That was cool It looked really good the way it was shot and it looked gross Which is important for something like that because you assume it would be very gross And in the end I do like how Bert kind of puts one over on the fed be feds because he's like Oh, here's your Graboid that you could use as a bio weapon now. I need my stuff.  There's a lot working against it not funny when it's supposed to be funny Script ratings just poor the acting's poor the dialogues really poor and it feels random So yeah, one of the worst film worst films of the series Which you know people would assume that for the sixth film, but number five was pretty good like I enjoyed that one So anyway with the possible five stars at play in here with it with a half star in play I'm gonna give it a one-star rating. This is not a very good film There's a little bit of fun, but not very good, but anyway, thanks for checking out this review Put some comments down there.

Hello, in this presentation we will talk about the adjusting entries related to the bank reconciliation process for January into our bookkeeping problem in Excel, keeping in mind how this same information might be input into accounting software such as QuickBooks. Last time we entered the information for a bank reconciliation. Now we're going to take a look at those adjustments that would be entered, oftentimes being revealed through the bank reconciliation process. We will first take a quick look at QuickBooks and then move into Excel and enter the information there. Within QuickBooks, once we did the bank reconciliation, we had two items that were on the bank statement, not on our books. Within QuickBooks, we typically would go in and make that adjustment, meaning we would adjust the cash account here through the cash register, meaning we're just going to enter the $15, which was the difference, and charge it to the bank service charge, reducing the checking account and posting the other side to the bank statement. And then we can go into the bank reconciliation and just check that off. So we're actually entering these adjustments as we go. We'll take a scroll all the way to the right in order to see where the bank reconciliation process is. So we're just taking a scroll all the way to the right to get to the bank reconciliation process, scrolling to the right. Here is our bank statement and our bank reconciliation on columns DW through EK. Last time, what we did was match out the bank statement and our books and reconcile the items. And we typically have two reconciling items when we think about a book problem. And that's going to be the bank reconciliation consisting of the bank balance, starting with the beginning balance and entering the adjustments in terms of outstanding checks and deposits. In this case, to get to our adjusting bank balance, and then our book balance, and that's going to have the adjustments to the book balance to get to our ending book balance. And of course, those things are the same. Now we're going to make the adjustments and the adjustments need to be made to these book balance side, meaning we need to make, of course, this number actually be on our books, the correct number. So we're going to change this number to this number by entering adjusting entries related to these items. To do that, we're going to enter a journal entry. Now there's a problem here because if we enter the journal entry, as of January, it could throw off or it will throw off our beginning balances. And typically that's what happens a lot of times when we do a bank reconciliation after the month has closed. And this is the issue with the closing process and something that we need to be aware of no matter what software we're going to be using. If we go back in and adjust things into the prior date, the software may allow us to do that. QuickBooks will allow us to do that. However, if we had already generated financial statements, we'll see that the beginning balances will change if we do that. We're going to do it that way just to see how that automation process happens and see what the problems can be. So note we have this adjustment here. I'm not going to make the adjustment in this month's journal entry, as I probably should. We're actually going to go back to the prior month and enter this information as of the date that this happened, meaning this withdrawal happened sometime in January. We'll go back in January and record the journal entry related to the withdrawal. In doing so, it's going to it's going to change the retained earnings portion. So let's check that out. Let's see that now. We are going to go to the trial balance for the original trial balance here in January into the journal entry. Thinking about the journal entry now, we're going to say it's a withdrawal. We're going to say that cash went down clearly because we're working with the checking account. And the other side of it, we don't really know what the withdrawal was for. We're going to put it into miscellaneous expense. So we're going to go back to the original trial balance over here. First tab. And we're going to scroll to the right till we see our journal entries. And we're going to put the journal entry in there as of 131. So I'm in U8. We're in cell U8. The date is 131. And we're going to say the checking account is decreasing. So here's the checking account. We're going to make it go down by doing the opposite thing to it, which is a credit. So we'll copy that. We're going to put that on the bottom of the date, right click and paste 123. And I believe the amount was $80. So that's going to be a credit for $80. And then we'll debit something also for $80. Once again, we don't know exactly what we purchased because we pulled money out. We don't know what it was for. If it was a draw, personal use, we'd put it here. If it was for business use and we don't know exactly what it for, we're going to put it into, in this case, miscellaneous expense. So we'll copy the miscellaneous expense. And we'll scroll back up. And that's going to be the debit, right click on V8 and paste 123. I'm going to format this just a bit and indent it. Now I'm going to make this whole journal entry yellow because it happened after we closed out the date and just meant just to highlight that fact, because that could cause this problem. We will now post this journal entry to the general ledger. In order to do that, we're going to freeze the pain. So we're going to scroll up top. We're an AJ1. We're going to go to the view tab or in the view tab. We're going to go into the windows group and freeze pains and then freeze the pains. Then we're going to record this first account. Here's the miscellaneous expense. If we scroll back down, it's in the expense area. We have assets, liabilities, equity, then expenses. Here's the miscellaneous expense. We're going to go to the right until we find that. So we have the assets first. We then have the liabilities. We have the expenses. We're looking for miscellaneous. Here it is. It's way over in BO 36. So we're in BO 36. We're going to select equal in BO 36. We're going to scroll up and then we're going to select that 80. Let's do that now. We are in BO 36. We're selecting equal. We're scrolling up just a bit and we are pointing to that 80 and enter. So there we have that. It's going to increase our balance in the expense by 80. We're going to scroll back to the financial statements to see where that information is. And there it is. We're out of balance by 80. There's the 80 on the trial balance and it's
