Here we are in the QuickBooks Desktop Sample Rock Castle construction practice file provided by QuickBooks going through the setup process, maximizing the homepage to the gray area, going to the view dropdown open windows list on the left hand side, opening up the major financial statements by going to the reports dropdown, company and financial, P and L profit and loss, the income statement in other words, date change, range change, 01, 01, 24, 212, 31, 2, 4, January through December, 2024, customizing the report fonts and numbers, changing that font on up to 12, okay? Yes, please, okay. And then we're gonna go to the reports again, company and financial, open up the balance sheet this time. The other major financial statement changed to date 12, 31, 2, 4, 2, 4, customize it so we can change the fonts and numbers there too and make it 12 again, okay? Yes, okay. That's the startup process we do every time, going back to the homepage and prior presentations. We've been talking about the customer cycle. You also might know as the sales cycle, the revenue cycle, the accounts receivable cycle, the customers meeting with QuickBooks, the people that we expect to be receiving money from typically at the end of the cycle for goods and services we provide to them. Remember that we could be actually customers in real life, but from a QuickBooks standpoint, we're looking at one side of the table here. These are people that we are selling goods and services for and hoping to get paid at the end of the process. We talked about different formats that could be taken depending on our industry that we are in, such as waiting for the deposit to clear the bank and just entering a deposit form, possibly with the use of the bank feeds, could be done possibly with gig work or having a cash-based system where we have to then record the transactions as we receive them and then deposit them like a food truck possibly, or the full accrual system where we might use an invoice for work that we had done that we are billing or invoicing for, like an accounting business, law firm, landscaping or something like that. We're first looking through this full accrual process here. We talked about the invoice in the past and then we went to the receive payment. Now the receive payment was a little bit tricky, you'll recall, because we know that the receive payment is gonna decrease the accounts receivable. Let's talk about the whole thing. The invoice is gonna increase the accounts receivable, the other side's gonna go to sales. We're mainly concerned with the receivable then. Then we're gonna track the receivables to make sure that we get paid and we're gonna enter the receive payment when we get paid at that point in time. This part got a little bit tricky because it's possible that we deposit at this point in time with the receive payment form directly into the check-in account. If I go to this form, in other words, I could see that I could include an option here to the check-in account which we saw that we'd have to turn that option on in the settings we looked at in the prior presentation to have that option. So you could deposit it directly into the checking account there. However, oftentimes you wanna use the default setting which is to put it into undeposited funds. There's a reason that's the default setting and that's because it's possible that you're gonna get paid in such a way that you're gonna have to group those payments together and put them into the bank in such a way that they're gonna be shown on the bank statement. In other words, if you get cash payments, for example, then you might group those cash payments together that you got during the day and deposit them into the bank multiple cash payments from different customers and that's how it's gonna show up on the bank statement. If you deposit each individual customer payment in the books directly into the checking account, then it's not gonna match what's on the bank statement. You're gonna have to do some taking some calculations on the reconciliation. You don't wanna do that. You wanna make it as easy as possible. Same thing could happen with the credit card, for example, the credit card company might group multiple customer sales, put them into the bank account in a grouped format and you wanna make sure that you have a system together so that you are doing the same thing on your end so that you can reconcile and that's gonna be an important kind of point there. So then we got the deposit, the last part of the cycle you can see is the deposit form. Notice they put it over here in the banking section but they indicated with an arrow it's kind of related to the customer cycle and that's because most deposits we're hoping increases to our checking account are coming from sales in some way, right? We're hoping that they're deposits from customers but they might not be. We could have a deposit that happened because we put money in as the owner, investing money from our personal account into the checking account for the business or we might have got a loan, for example, those are the two main examples of a deposit that was not from a customer from the business in some way. So they kind of put it out here in between the two areas. Notice that that number two represents that we have something in undeposited funds. The something in undeposited funds is either from the received payment which we saw in the past or the sales receipt which we'll talk about in the future and you can see them reflected on the balance sheet with the undeposited fund account right here. So that's really a cash account. Notice it's not up here in the checking account area because from a Quick Book standpoint it doesn't act like a cash account meaning it doesn't have any special need. You're not gonna connect it to a bank feed or anything like that. So that's why they put it down here in this other current assets which is a little bit kind of funny because again you would group it in cash if you were to group all these things together typically but then it gets by double click on this and I say 010124. You could see that it's gonna go up with the payment and then it's gonna go down with the deposit. So what we're gonna do is remove it from undeposited funds if we're using this process and put it into then the checking account. That's where we left off last time that would be the normal process or the next step if I go back to the homepage of the invoice received payment to the deposit. Now also just realize that the deposit form you could think of it as the standard form that will be used anytime there's basically or pretty much anytime there's an increase to the checking account. You could use the sales receipt so it's not always a deposit form but the deposit form is typically the form that you would use for an increase to the checking account.  So that's another way that you might see that form. If you're entering deposits directly into the system and they're not connected to undeposited funds like you put money into the system yourself for example or you're recording deposits manually kind of into the checking account based on the bank statement or something like that then you might not, I wouldn't use this deposit form typically like if I double click on this or if I click on it it'll open up this window which will show those two items that went through either the receipt payment or the sales receipt. And if you don't wanna use those and you have another kind of deposit that you'll be dealing with you can click off of this and you could just basically record the form or the account that you're receiving from. In other words, this is gonna go into the checking account the date and then you've got the account that you're gonna receive it from. So if that's what you're gonna do sometimes it's easier to just use the register. So if I'm entering directly into the checking account I might just go to the register. So in other words, closing this back out you could find the check register here or you could go to the banking dropdown. This is how I usually do it and you could go to use register and then find the checking account and go into the checking account register. So in the checking account register you can enter a deposit. So for example, that's a journal entry but let's go up to a deposit here. Here's a deposit. So here's a payment. It's a payment. Here's just a deposit that was recorded. So you can enter basically the account down here. This one will split but you can enter the account down here. You can see the splits by going like this. Actually it's not opening the split. You can double click and see the deposit form. So there is that. And then you've got the deposit field. So this one is like kind of like a checkbook. So this is the easiest kind of area I think if you're just manually, if you're just doing a data input of a deposit but you could use the deposit form. I'm gonna close this back out. I would typically use the deposit form when I'm connecting the deposit meaning I would click on the form on the homepage when I'm connecting the deposit to the receive payment and the sales receipt because that number two once again represents the grouping these two items that I would like to match up. Meaning if I went into the bank and I grouped these together, like say these were two cash payments. They're not, but let's say there were two cash payments. If I deposited them together at one lump sum of 2,440, I wanna make sure that I record that properly on my end as one lump sum payment instead of as two separate payments if they're gonna record that way on the bank statement making my bank reconciliation comparing our books, what we did on our side to the bank side easy, that's gonna be the point. That's the whole point of that process. So if I close this out and I look at it, let's just look at a prior deposit.  Now if this was connected to the sales receipt or receive payment, then it's gonna pull this information in automatically from say the payment that was received which was pulled in from the invoice because you recorded that in the invoice. So it's all connected, which is nice. It's going to the account of undeposited fund, which again, if this was connected, which this one looks like it was, would populate automatically. And then you've got the check number of, and then the payment is gonna be a check. And then, so these are the payments that we've received. We're not writing a check, we're having a deposit here. And then a class field, we'll talk about classes later, that's a specialty kind of area. And then the amount that we're receiving, notice we have two line items that were combined together. So we didn't deposit them individually, even if they were individual payments, if we combined them together depositing them into the bank at the one lump sum here. So what's this form gonna do? It's gonna increase the checking account and the other side is gonna be recorded to whatever account it's gonna be recorded to here, typically undeposited fund, if you're going through that process, or if you were the one that put money and you could choose some other account that would be like an equity account here, investment from the owner or something. So I'm gonna close this back out and let's drill back down from the balance sheet then and think about that end result. So let's double-click on the checking account. If I double-click on the checking account, change the date range 010124. So now we've got the deposits. Notice that the deposits are generally the things that are gonna be increased in the checking account. So that form, that one form is generally gonna be the main thing that increased the checking account. Although you could have a sales receipt, right? I mean, you could have a sales receipt and you could have a sales receipt and a receipt payment if you make these things go directly into the checking account. So we talked about that with the receipt payment, not so much with the sales receipt. We'll talk about that in the future. But if you go through undeposited funds, which is one of the nice kind of things and everything that's an increase is gonna be a deposit. If you drill down on the deposit, it takes you to that deposit form. Even if you enter the deposit with like a bank feed or with the register, which looks like a different data input form, it will still use this deposit form when you drill back on the data. So even if you use a simplified, smaller registered data input, it's still using a full deposit form, which is something you wanna just kind of keep in mind. So I'm gonna close that back out. So let's go to the balance sheet. So the deposit goes in. The other side will typically be coming out of undeposited funds, double-clicking on the undeposited funds, changing the range from a 101 to four. So now you've got the payments which increase the undeposited funds because we've received the payments from the customers and then the deposits decrease in the undeposited funds. So let's close this out. I'm gonna close this out here. And the main point, I'm going back to the balance sheet. Just note that when it goes into the checking account, I'm gonna change the date, 010124. Then you wanna make sure that when you have the deposit going into the checking account, I went all the way down to the bottom on 121224 here. So this 493612, double-clicking on that. The main point is if I had two line items, I wanna make sure that I've combined them together in such a way that it's gonna be recording on my side that will match the bank statement side, making the reconciliation process as easy as possible. Okay, closing this back out, closing this back out. Just note that if you are in a system where you have like a simple system where it's like gig work and you're waiting for something to go through the bank and then record the transaction, then typically your income is gonna be recorded or your deposit will be recorded at that point in time. You're gonna be dependent on the bank to record it. And then the other side will go to the profit and loss to an income line item somewhere down here if that was the system in like a simplified type of system, which you could do possibly if you had gig work, you're getting paid by a platform that you just wanna wait till it clears the bank and then enter it into the system. So if I go back to the homepage, note then that you would be using this deposit form to increase revenue, which isn't really what QuickBooks is designed to do because it's designed to increase revenue with an invoice or a sales receipt, even if on a cash-based system. So by doing that, you do limit some of your other reports possibly like sorting your information by customer or something like that, but it might be totally worth it in terms of the ease of that system if you get all your money from like a platform and it's an easy system to just wait till it clears the bank. So just note on that, you can use deposits in that way for gig work and also just realize that you can also think about other systems like if you had a full, a cruel system that we'll talk more about in the bank feeds, if you've got an invoice, could you wait till something clears the bank and then connect the bank feed to the invoice or could I enter the receive payment and then wait till something clears the bank and connect the deposit to the receive payments or do I just want to record all three which is typically what you will do in a full service accounting system and then connect the bank feed to the deposit that has already been recorded, not so that you can double record it but then you would just be checking that it has been recorded matching it which would be kind of more of a bank reconciliation kind of process or system.


Explosions rock a barracks on a Latvian training base, and a multinational group of medics are quick to respond. Dozens of victims are wounded in the blasts, so these combat lifesavers must take decisive action. There was a simulated bombing of the Daji base here, where specifically the building here, bomb hit the building, the building was on fire, and the patients were brought out to be triaged and then evacuated. Thankfully, this is just a training scenario. Part of Saber Strike 15. Mostly it's just getting the different nations to work together in the medial teams, swapping knowledge, and specifically for this exercise, just making sure that if something were to happen, just like this, that we'd be able to work together. Once the patients were evacuated, the treatment begins. But with this many injuries to care for, these medics had their work cut out for them. And with any kind of mascot exercise, it's always going to look like chaos initially when we're trying to figure out where patients are going to go, where they're going to get triaged. Saber Strike 15 got off to a fast start in Latvia, with this scenario occurring only hours after the opening ceremony ended. So while some soldiers were arming up for the training in the field, this mass cal aimed to sharpen the skills of the troops still back on base. Basically this is a stepping stone going into, well everybody else is getting mobilized to actually go do the combat arms portion of it. I think this is a really good piece to get the other parts of the support elements of all the different nations to get working together. One of the key goals of Saber Strike is getting partner nations to work together through realistic training situations. Not only is this scenario getting the military medics cooperating to save lives, but also prepares the local civilian hospital as well. We're also coordinating with the Regal East Hospital to test their systems there as well. We're going to be bringing in UH-60 Blackhawks to bring patients over to their hospital, and then their staff is getting spun up to deal with that kind of a mass cal situation as well. So no matter the nationality of the patient or the medic caring for him, Saber Strike is ensuring that these allies are prepared for any situation.

He made it barely shout out to the Teconic Roadrunners for the jacket. Yeah, Teconic You barely made it good to see you sir. I was getting a little get a little warm up Steve's in the house, but here we go Cruisin Yeah, man You all know Steve He's been on the vlog a lot. Yeah Not for a while though. It's been a little while Yeah, I'm getting getting work done Magnified We're just cruising everybody almost home six miles easy on a Sunday recovery Five out eight eight fifteen the miles my guess. That's my guess 745 745 Something like that Let's go get this knee looked at Come on now. There's the boys Let's get this knee looked at. Oh, it's Michael sleeping. I try to do I try to it's like you just got a time It's like for this. This is just as important as the running you know taking care of the body afterward because I Run in high volume So this thing is amazing I must say when I stretch my quads Usually it helps the knee feel better, but it it it hurts right after but then it usually feels better. Oh My gosh. All right, Steve. Here we go. All right. Let's try and break this down. So Seth runner's knee Yeah, which is called what? Patella femoral pain syndrome is the actual telephemora femoral femoral pain syndrome kneecap Leg bone something's going on there. That's not quite working right my pain and probably your pain too is right about here and It's hurts the most for me When I'm running slow or when I'm walking up and down stairs or squatting So so said asked me to try to talk about this I feel like the big takeaways are Really got to have this be a catch-all diagnosis and that'd be everything else needs to kind of be ruled out and In order to ensure that this is actually what you're dealing with and also I should have said What are your credentials? Oh, yeah student of physical therapy one more semester left He's a student so Steve and I ran at CU together back in the day And so Steve is in physical therapy school and he's got one semester left But uh, yeah, there's a new study that just came out or mainly a new collective Grouping of yeah grouping of how well our evidence is known about patella femoral pain syndrome so it was just going through it here and We don't really have much of a diagnostic way to determine if it is PFPS or runner's knee or patella femoral pain syndrome but we do know that In most cases you have difficulty or discomfort with squatting going up and down stairs as well as Difficulty with what did I say full knee extension?  You also have to think about oscose-schlotters if you've got a predominant tibial plateau or tibial Tuberosity here if that's kind of poking out more so and that's tender to touch you might be looking at oscose-schlotters disease And that as another look at yeah, I should mention on the blog I've said in the last like 10 days that my knees felt tight and Remember I was saying that last week. So it's been feeling tight and remember I'm transitioning Basically exclusively away from vertical gain So my quads are not being worked as much and I'm wondering if that might be contributing a little bit to What I'm feeling a with the runner's knee in the front of the knee. So anyway, just it's a good insight and They do show that the there's a correlation with people that have weakened knee extensor muscles to be more susceptible to this this knee pain Question of the day. Hopefully everyone can hear me because Steve has the mic question of the day who has suffered from runner's knee and What did you do to help alleviate the pain and did it go away eventually? Well, hopefully it did but what were the steps that you took? So that's a question of the day all about runner's knee Many of us have suffered from this. Have you yeah, yeah, interesting. So that's a question of the day It's like a hot topic in the running world and I it is recommended to reduce your training I'm kind of in a tough spot right now with Houston about five weeks away So I'm I think I can train through it, but we're just gonna take it one day at a time Yeah, so I mean like Seth mentioned as I mean really as his friend and as a student in this field of Wanting to try to figure out more how to help someone in this situation obviously if the demand is is Not letting you reduce the amount of mileage Or take some time off. It is important to figure out Have we addressed any sort of gait changes? Has there been anything in the past that we've? Or anything that's changed since the symptoms have come on and so whether or not you are experiencing these symptoms, I think the kind of the Good conservative thing is to think about how strong are my quads how strong are my hip muscles and if we're moving in One singular plane with running oftentimes our lateral hips are not really working the way they should be so there's a few things that we Can kind of show you to Even work on exercises to help yeah prevent Prevent this from happening again and Katie taping is good for reducing the symptoms, but it's not treating the overall cause So overall it does show good evidence that it helps unload And it works for you Try different techniques. There's good sources out there to kind of self-teach you do you have two or three recommendations for me For exercises that I could do either in the gym or here to help Potentially alleviate and maybe even make it go away. Absolutely. There's there's kind of an Approach where we can do a loaded position where we're standing on it with kind of gravity in our body weight and an unloaded position So you can tolerate if you can tolerate a loaded That's where I would start, but they don't really have evidence showing one is more effective than the other. I mean simple knee extension exercises where we can really Track on that knee coming straight up and whether or not You find relief with weight or without weight We can begin if you have an ankle weight that would definitely be helpful But you can start just to fatigue without any kind of weight Just your running shoes enough to kind of add Straightening out that might be a good start Yeah, so just to fatigue as you're maybe even holding it up there squeezing that quadricep muscle Listen easy. Yeah And that might be a good way to start the next one Well, you can just start here You're gonna squeeze those glutes and raise them up making sure that the hips aren't Rocking and you're gonna hold that for 10 seconds and again, I like going to fatigue Not everyone is going to tolerate this as well if you are you can straighten one leg out and really isolate each leg Godfather is helping this knee. We're gonna we're gonna win is persistence Patience and consistent All the time All right, everyone just putting a bow on today's discussion about patello femoral pain IE Runner's knee and again, I'll be interested to see how many people have suffered from this injury now Oh, by the way, it's freezing out. So I got I'm gonna keep my hat on in the studio tonight I and Steve right at the end before you had to take off. Thank you Steve for the insights In again Steve and I we're not doctors if you have serious knee pain go to the doctor Go get it checked out, but I don't have serious serious knee pain But I do have some knee pain and I'm gonna give you a couple thoughts on what is working for me for my runner's knee And I've only had it for about seven days, but at the same time, it's a little okay I don't want to say it's exciting But I get I get so many questions on all the social media about runner's knee And I have to politely tell people that I'm sorry I don't know I I don't know what to tell you because I've never had runner's knee Until now so I've had IT band issues back in high school. So on the outside of my knee So I have a little experience there I consider myself unfortunately an expert in plantar fasciitis and I definitely know all about stress fractures That was okay PF and stress fractures are basically my go-to running injuries But runner's knee is new and now I know what it feels like now listen I haven't been to the doctor doctor to get it fully diagnosed, but all the research I've done It's it it sounds just like runner's knee or patello femoral pain I'm doing ultrasound supposedly there's research out there that ultrasound is not Overwhelmingly known to help runners knee, but I've got this little guy and again If it brings more blood flow to that area, I guess I'm willing to try it. I'll just put it out there Um, what else is working? So also? Oh, yeah elevating the leg Okay, so laying down and getting the knee above the heart So lay on your couch and then elevate the knee up on some pillows that seems to be helping Oh, yeah, and then the most helpful has been the kt tape. All right So that's what steve was doing at the end there. Um, and now so it's five hours later since steve has left My knee feels amazing. I'm just putting it out there like it feels amazing and Uh, like and I don't know if it's the cut so steve was also showing me some different Um, I don't want to call them exercises But rehab to do in the house on my own and so I did a little bit of that I'm going to go inside and do some more before hitting the sack And I don't know the knee feels a little bit better right now Compared to let's say this morning because on the run today with steve It was a little tight a little tender just putting it out there last but not least and then I'll sign off is that The slower I run The more it hurts the faster I run. It feels better. So from what I understand It's a tracking issue From your kneecap down that tendon and then you have these guide rails as I think steve alluded to in there And it can get a little offline That patella tendon down the front of your knee and that's what causes this pain So I'm learning alongside you and that's why the title of the vlog is a runner's knee discussion Starter okay, we don't I don't have all the answers but but all the veterans out there I bet you can give some insights and help all of us rookies with runners knee I am one of them But now I joined the ranks and we march on and it's not going to get me down tomorrow I hope to get actually I don't hope I will get into the pool and the sauna and I think that non-pounding Environment and movement through the pool some aqua jogging should help as well. All right We're here together. We got this runners knee runners unite onward and upward. All right everyone Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching We're going to toss it back to the last vlog that we talked about running injuries on the right And you know what we'll also do the one on the left So if you have running injuries, whether it's whatever the case may be there's so many out there Go to either one of these blogs check it out and you might be able to learn a thing or two about some home remedies All right, there you go. See beauty work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow


This week we learnt about so many different micronutrients, you know, we learnt about magnesium, potassium, vitamin D, calcium and you know we have to understand that nowadays the food that we eat specifically when you know our youngsters are eating lot of outside food, ultra-processed food, you know ready-made food and we have to know that you know it's not healthy actually. They are devoid of lot of these nutrients, they are devoid of micronutrients, you know they are high on starches, they are high on bad fats, you know omega-6 loaded oils, some of them have trans fat actually you know and lot of sugar and salt, I mean very salty lot of sugar. So we have created this two tutorials actually one is on junk food and another one is in why you know why junk food has kind of increased in our community. So do watch them, you know lot of times we feel that okay if we make something at home then it's healthy and you know lot of communities like in Gujarati you know people love to have farsan and they love to have sweets but please understand that even if it is made at home but if the ingredients are not right and the cooking techniques are not right then it's not necessarily healthy okay. So just kind of use good techniques in a sense you know if you want to use oil, use some staple oils to fry, you know don't use metha, don't use rice starch, you know use some more healthy grains or millets, millets are really good actually and also I've explained what happens when you have a lot of sugar, you know sugar is basically one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. So I've shown very specifically what happens you know and insulin resistant is one more important aspect that I've mentioned a little bit in junk food and because of insulin resistant you know not only we have risk of diabetes but we also have risk of high blood pressure okay. So all these lifestyle disorders are because we are eating not right kind of food. So what happens in young children what I see in community you know they start with biscuits, maré biscuit, pardajie biscuit, by the time they are four months, three months old and you know that junk food continues to increase in the diet you know so they would spend five rupees on junk food but they would not use five rupees to buy you know say one cup of dahi or maybe eggs you know. So it's important to understand what are these junk food, how they are made, what does it include you know. So let's watch it and learn about it. Thank you. Welcome to the spoken tutorial on junk food. In this tutorial we will learn about contents of junk food and harmful effects of junk food on our body. Any food can be considered as junk food depending upon three factors. First two factors are ingredients and the method of cooking. The nutrient content of the food is the third important factor.  Most of the junk food is usually prepared by frying or baking. Many artificial colors, flavors and preservatives are added to these food. This is done to enhance the taste, appearance and shelf life of the food. Junk food are high in calories. They have none or little amounts of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. A few commonly consumed junk food are deep fried salty snacks. Majority of the fast food are also junk food. For example, pizza, burgers, french fries, noodles, chips, wafers, puff pastry, samosa, etc. Some beverages are considered as junk food. For example, cold drinks, fruit juices and artificially flavored drinks. Even caffeinated drinks, soda and energy drinks are included. Sweets, deep fried sweets, jams, jellies, sauces, ketchups are also junk food. Biscuit, cake, chocolate, candy, ice cream are other examples. Let us now see the effect of junk food on our body. Junk food which is high in sugar causes immediate rise in blood sugar levels. As a result, the pancreas releases insulin in our blood. Insulin is a hormone which acts like a key to open the cells. The cells absorb sugar from the blood to provide us energy. Excess sugar gets stored as fat in the body. Regular eating of high sugar food can cause insulin resistance. During insulin resistance, the body is unable to respond to insulin or use it. Therefore, sugar is not taken up by our cells from the blood. As a result, there is a rise in insulin levels and blood sugar levels. The high insulin levels send signals for hunger to the brain. The body starts craving more food even if it is not hungry. This creates a vicious cycle and causes overeating. Let us understand this with an example. While eating a biscuit or laddu, we can't restrict ourselves to one piece. We crave to eat it more and more. We mostly finish the entire packet of biscuits or many laddus at a time. This is because of the hunger signals which are sent to the brain. Sugar also has an effect on blood pressure. On eating food high in sugar and salt, our sodium level increases. Sugar enhances the sodium absorption in the body by the kidney. As a result, sodium gets retained in the body. This causes an increase in blood pressure and water retention in the body. As a result, puffiness in hands and feet can be seen. Let me give you another example. After eating chips, we usually feel thirsty. This is because sodium levels in our blood increases on eating salty food. The brain then sends signals of thirst so that we drink more water. Drinking water will dilute the sodium levels in the body. But, drinking juice or cold drinks will increase the sugar levels in the body. This will result in a rise in the blood pressure. Apart from sugar and salt, most junk food have a lot of refined flour. Refined wheat flour is most commonly used. These refined flours are low in fiber and lack essential nutrients. Fibre has a very important role in the body. It gets digested slowly and gives us a feeling of fullness for a long time. Therefore, when we eat junk food low in fiber, it gets quickly digested. Our stomach gets empty very quickly and we feel hungry again. Another important benefit of fiber is to maintain a healthy gut. Our gut comprises of both good and bad bacteria. Fiber promotes the growth of good bacteria, thereby helping in proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Other benefits are strong immunity, healthy skin and reduced inflammation. Fiber is also necessary for our stools to absorb water. This makes the stools soft and bulky. Thus, the stools move easily through the intestine. Since junk food is low in fiber, eating it regularly can cause constipation. The other disadvantage is that junk food reduces the good bacteria in the gut. This increases inflammation and the risk of various diseases. Some junk food are high in refined fats like trans fat, cakes, biscuits, baked products, margarines, vanaspati all have trans fat. Trans fat raises the level of bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol.  Good cholesterol helps in proper working of the brain, skin and heart. But excess of bad cholesterol is not good for our health. Mostly fried junk food is prepared using oils containing omega-6 fatty acid. Examples are sunflower oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, even corn oil and cotton seed oil are included. The omega-6 in these oils raises the level of bad cholesterol in our body. Excess of bad cholesterol gets deposited on the walls of our blood vessels. Excess of omega-6 fatty acid also enhances inflammation in the body. This results in the development of insulin resistance and heart diseases. Excessive consumption of junk food has many harmful effects. Obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes are the most common. We can also cause a risk of increased bad cholesterol and heart diseases. Sleep disturbances or development of cysts in the ovaries can also happen. Eating too much junk food can upset the stomach. You may experience nausea, vomiting and reduced appetite. Other effects of junk food are dental caries, allergies and cancer. Junk food lacks the necessary nutrients to keep our body healthy. Therefore, eating too much junk food can weaken our immune system. Due to which, we may often feel tired and weak. Usually, we are not aware about the ill effects of junk food on our health. Without giving a thought, we eat them regularly in large amounts. Therefore, we should be careful about choosing our food so that we stay healthy. This brings us to the end of the tutorial. Welcome to the spoken tutorial on reasons for increase in junk food consumption. In this tutorial, we will learn about factors increasing the consumption of junk food, ways to avoid junk food from our diet.  Harmful effects of junk food has been discussed in another tutorial. Please visit our website for more details. Let us understand the factors that increase the consumption of junk food. Junk food has become easily available these days. You can find it in shops, school canteens, roadside vendors and restaurants. Let us look at another reason for the increased consumption of junk food. Mothers may be busy with job and household work. They may not get time to prepare a proper home-made meal for their kids. Instead, they may give them money to buy food from outside. Kids may choose to buy chocolates, ice creams or chips with that money. Moreover, junk food is often cheaper as compared to healthy meals. For example, a plate of chapatis, lentils and vegetables will cost slightly more. Therefore, people may choose something cheap such as samosa, chips, biscuits. Sometimes, parents ignore the child's likes and dislikes. Children often get bored with traditional home-made meals. Due to a lack of variety in home-made meals, they may want to eat junk food. They may find these food tastier. On eating junk food high in sugar, the brain releases chemicals like dopamine. It is released in large amounts which gives us a feeling of joy and comfort. That is why we get addicted to junk food and crave to eat more and more. We see comfort by overeating junk food. This is common during periods of stress, depression, loneliness and anxiety. Another reason that attracts us to junk food are its advertisements. These advertisements are often attractive and misleading. Children and adolescents get easily influenced by them. Friends also affect our food choices. For example, a student carries chapati and vegetables to school. If her friends bring junk food, then she will also want to bring those items. This shows that our eating habits get affected by what people around us eat. Moving ahead, let us look at some ways to avoid junk food. Parents should understand that children learn and follow what they see. If they see parents eating healthy, they will also be motivated to eat right. Therefore, parents should be a good role model for them. Please remember to never use junk food as a reward. Parents often give junk food as rewards to children in some situations. For example, to complete their schoolwork or to score well in exams. This gives the children a message that it is okay to eat these food. As they grow older, this can develop into a habit. Hence, never offer junk food as a reward to children. Care should be taken to avoid eating food while watching TV or using phones. Eating while watching TV distracts our mind. Therefore, we don't feel satisfied and tend to overeat. Another thing which the mothers should consider is to bring variety in meals. The child's regular meal can be made exciting. Make it more colourful and nutrient dense. Use a combination of ingredients from different food groups. Let me give you an example. Plain rice can be modified by adding lentils, vegetables or eggs. This way, the child will look forward to having homemade meals. Before planning meals, consider the child's likes and dislikes. If they do not like a specific ingredient, disguise it in other dishes. For example, some children are fussy about eating vegetables. You can disguise vegetables in the form of vegetable paratha, chila or cutlets. Vegetables can be chopped or pureed and served in the form of soup. Try to replace junk food with healthy food. For example, vada, samosa or a pack of biscuits costs 5 to 10 rupees. For the same amount of money, you can buy 2 eggs or a glass of milk. Do not add taste enhancing powders available in the market in children's milk. Instead, you can add turmeric powder or nuts and seeds powder. You can also have chutney made of nuts and seeds, instead of ketchup and sauces. Roasted peanuts or Bengal gram can be eaten instead of chips and fried chivda. You can also have boiled green gram, Bengal gram, corn, etc. Avoid fried puris made of refined flour. Instead, have chapatis or parathas made of whole wheat flour. You can also have boiled grains, sorghum or pearl millet. Replace bad fats like refined vegetable oils with good fats.  Nuts, seeds, eggs and fish also have good fats in them. Avoid drinking cold drinks and juices. Instead, you can drink water, lime water, coconut water, buttermilk or milk. Encourage children to eat whole seasonal fruits instead of fruit juices. Fruit juices and sugary drinks should not be given to children below 2 years. In a day, the consumption of tea and coffee should be restricted. Half a cup or 100 ml can be given to 5 to 9 year old children. For adolescents, 1 cup or 200 ml can be given. Whereas, tea and coffee should be avoided by children up to 5 years. Children and adolescents should completely avoid energy and carbonated drinks. The intake of junk food should be restricted to 1 serving per week. A homemade meal with the right ingredients is healthier than outside junk food. Always remember that it takes time to develop habits. Therefore, children must be taught to choose healthy food from a young age. This brings us to the end of the tutorial. Thank you for joining.


We're back. We're live. We're here at four o'clock. I'm J. Feidele with Governor John Waihe and this is his show. He's the host of Talk Story with John Waihe. I am a guest host if you will.  You're the guest interrogator. I am the person that you are now interrogating. So I get to sit on this seat. You're not going to believe what we're going to talk about, but I'll give you a hint. It was in the newspaper. Among other things, we're going to talk about a friend of mine. Thank you. And I thought it might be more appropriate if you ask the questions than if I just talk about it. Well, as people are finding out, we, J. President Clinton, is in Hawaii. One of his favorite places in the world. He's told me more times than I care to count. But he just came in. It's a surprise to me. I got an email on Thursday night. I'll be in Hawaii tomorrow morning. Are you up for anything? Like let's go golfing or something. It didn't turn out, by the way. He found out landing in Hawaii the same day as you don't necessarily want to. He came in from Columbia, where he's doing one of his projects. And he came to address a conference of travel agents. And the, I don't know if people realize this, but the Clinton Foundation has sort of strategically adopted, really, the travel business as an important development tool for various countries all over the world. And for two reasons. One, because it actually economically works. And people are interested in learning about other cultures and so forth. But also because it is, in his opinion, and I find that very compelling, that this, that kind of business actually facilitates cultural understanding. And so the entire speech that he gave, and he walked in a room, I don't know. I don't know how many thousand people there, but they were in the thousands and it was packed. It was the stancherof center, completely packed. And nobody expected them. And so it was kind of fun to watch that, yeah. But hanging out was great, you know. You know him. I've known him for what? 30 something years. And we grew up, I mean, we came up the political ladder, so to speak together. We were governors together. And one of my political moments was when he ran for president of the United States, I was chairman of the Democratic Governors Association. So I had the privilege, really, of organizing Democratic governors for his election in, oh boy, those were exciting times. Yeah, wow, wow. That's a whole new experience. And it should come back and quote, visit you this way. Yeah, and actually, we will have him on this show in the future. And I wish we could have done it today. And so you wouldn't be there having to grill me, you know. And but it just, it just the logistics just didn't work out, unfortunately. But he wants, he's been here, he's very interested. We had a chance yet to visit the Hokulea, for example. You know, the idea of the Hokulea was to promote not only the Hawaiian or Polynesian celestial navigation voyaging, but also to spread the message of what it takes to live on an island and so forth. And so when they were presenting this to the president, he was so fascinated, as he always is. He's one of the most intensely focused person when he has a subject. You know, he loves new things. He loves learning. And so these young people that had actually sailed, every one of them who had at least sailed a thousand miles, was there yesterday, and they had a chance to talk to them, to tell them about what it's like to live on a ship, and what the lessons that might have for living on a continent, for living where others live, how to get along and the rest. It's been a real experience. It's a microcosm for human relations in general. Right. And of course, he and I talked a lot about the political situation in America. And you know, I don't want to be here talking about him, but Jay, if you want to talk about anything, I would like to touch on a few things.  And I'm sure that Hillary Clinton was fallen down, stunned. And Bill had to be fallen down, stunned. Yeah, I guess so. Although a number of us, myself included, and apparently some of the Hillary campaign people actually began to see, I mean, everything seemed to be going correctly. And we would be now a much different country than we would want. But right about the time that Comey made his announcement, things started to go south. And one of the good things that are going to happen that people can look forward to is Hillary's writing a book. And I don't know whether that's something that should be announced here, but definitely she's writing a book. I think that's kind of expected. And I hear from the president and from others that it's going to be a blockbuster. It's going to be a book that all of us would like to get our hands on. In fact, one of the things that the president is doing, President Clinton, is actually as part of his trip, is daily, I should say, as part of his daily routine on this trip, is to read chapters of the book helping the publishers and Hillary finalize it. He told me that actually Hillary was supposed to be with him on this trip. They both love Hawaii.  But then the publishers wanted this book done. So we're going to hear it all. I know I intend to get a copy of it. But you and I have had a number of shows just talking about where this country is right now. And it is frightening to me and obviously in the course of just discussions, not only with Bill, but with anybody connected, you know, there's like a new normal going on and it's frightening. It's like these kinds of crazy type situations are happening so often that we seem to be getting used to. Right. I agree. And people are becoming complacent about it already. They said, I'm so tired of this. I am just going to disengage from it. I'm going to ignore it. This is maybe the worst thing they can do because going forward we need to pay more. And it was interesting because we actually, you know, and what we taught, you know, he and I share some views on the freedom of the press and how important it is that the press actually focus on substantive issues. And there has been analysis made of this past election, not only the very last one, which happened to have been the worst in this sense on this issue, but the trend over time on various elections of having the media focus in on sensationalism as opposed to the issue. That's what happened. And so, you know, you have hundreds of minutes of time talking about Hillary's emails. And one of the things I'll probably let out of school, you know, much of what we discussed was obviously in confidence. But what I will let out is the idea that she was told more times than once after the election by various reporters that they were actually apologizing. And they said, you know, we didn't think you were going to lose, number one. And number two, what sold the papers was the sensational issues. What's the name of those trash magazines? It's the tabloid type news. And so even the mainstream media did it. Now it's tabloid every day. And the media is actually put themselves or this country is in the situation where the media now has to try to try to bring everything back to issues. But it's hard to do because Trump is still doing the same thing. And he's still doing the same thing. And it's still becoming, and in his case, you know, it's like a daily situation. So I worry about the freedom of the press. I agree. And I can tell you that that's something that even somebody like Bill Clinton's worried about. I mean, we all are worried about where this country goes. Yeah, so I've had some really good, obviously good conversations.  But really, it's been quiet from them. Well, you know, and a lot of what happened in the election, in some respects, we as a Democratic Party have to blame ourselves for. I mean, I think there's been a lot of soul searching. We talked about, for example, a lot of our friends who are Republicans in the Senate right now. And these are honorable men, you know, Lamar Alexander, Orrin Hatch, or even McCain, John McCain, and wondering when, when and at what moment do they decide as people that we know they are, you know, and the President knows they are, when they decide that, look, the country is more important than my party being in power, and begin to, you know, start to guide this presidency a little bit more, take some responsibility for what's happening. That's obviously an interesting conversation because we know the same person for the same people for the same number of years.  He knows the inside. Well, he also is. He's also the kind of person that likes to make friends with people who don't agree with him. I mean, he, I mean, really, one of his closest friends right now, and he's actually, he actually talks about it, he's kind of proud of it, is the, are the Bushes, both George Bush, the father and George Bush, and George W. And part of what his work on the foundation has been doing things with their foundation, with their work, and, you know, and demonstrating that, that you don't have to agree on anything. In fact, you can be miles apart in some very strong political situation, but you can all, you can treat each other civilly, number one, number two, you can actually work on where you have a common interest. And for example, he, we were discussing the story of a saving Lake Tahoe, you know, and he said, as long as we, and it's surrounded by politicians and others that have completely different viewpoints, but as long as they focused in terms of George W. and his dad, when they focused on saving the lake, maintaining the lake, making sure that his purity level was, you know, great things were done. Great things can happen. And so his message today is, you know, we need to do some of that. He's an elder statesman now, don't you think? Yeah, but he's also a shrewd politician. So I will tell you that this is not a person that doesn't have insights. This is not a person that doesn't have instincts. I mean, I've seen him, you know, and he is, I wouldn't mess with him, in other words, on one hand. But on the other hand, this is a person that always tries to find common ground. And, you know, and he had his own criticism for our party as well. One of the problems Democrats have as just statistically across this country is the fact that we don't seem to vote in non-presidential elections, which by the way, you must compliment the Republicans for nationally, because they come out, may come out and they vote in the dull catcher elections and the local sheriff and local mayor and the like. And we have a tendency to stay home. Yeah, too bad. John will take a short break. This is Governor John Whyhey. We're talking about his friend Bill Clinton, who's here in Honolulu right now, and with whom he spent some time. And we'll talk about his reflections. They're both reflections. Reflections are both John and Bill. Well, I wish that he were here, and he has promised us the show. If there's any consolation, is it fair chance he's watching now? Well, yeah. Well, he's actually on the phone to some prime minister right now. Otherwise, he'd be talking to us. But I'm sure he's going to see this. His staff, if we mention his name anywhere in the world, his staff will run it down. So we'll be right back after this break. I'm going to the game and it's going to be great. Early arrive and for a little tailgate. I usually drink but won't be drinking today because I'm the designated driver and that's okay. It's nice to be the guy that keeps his friends in line, keeps them from drinking too much so we can have a great time. A little responsibility can go a long way because it's all about having fun on game day. We're back with John Whyhey. He is the true host of the show. I'm the visiting host and the reason is we're talking about a friend of his who was in town with whom he spent some time, namely former president Bill Clinton. And I'd like to get to his reaction to the election, if you will. I'd like to get his reaction to what Trump has been doing because if it bothers me and it bothers you, it must bother Bill too. Oh, it obviously does. It obviously does. And oh, by the way, people should know that the reason why Jay's here is because we do this. Like he's done this to me. He pulled me off the street. But anyway, yeah, of course. Of course, the election was, you know, and one of the main things that, one of the most main upsets is not unique to Bill, but it's something that he obviously was much more knowledgeable of than even myself. And that is that the deliberate attempt by many people with money that were on the other side to lure the bar of discussion, the level of discussion, to make sure that we focus on, as we talked about earlier, tabloid news as opposed to, you know, really getting into the issues. I'm right down there in the street at the end. Well, if he can do that, he'll win. See, that's how he wins. He wins my, you know, whereas if you stuck with the issues, then we probably, Hillary would be president right now because there is nobody, I mean, that I know of. And I know quite a few politicians that would be no more knowledgeable than her on any issue.  Take vacuum, though, after the election, she was quiet. She didn't say anything. Everybody wondered, my, she must be busted over what happened. It was such a surprise, a bad surprise to everyone, really. Well, I think it obviously was for her as well, except that, you know, they knew things were getting tighter at the end. And one of the great mysteries of life is what's, you know, the Comey's action, a Comey coming out just before the election. And I don't want to, I know that Hillary's going to talk about this in her book, I'm sure.  And actually, some of the motivation behind it. And apparently, what it, what it was, is that the Comey actually had a rogue unit, really, in New York, who was close to Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani. It was in Trump's camp. Exactly. And so they were pushing some of these issues. And, but it was a matter of political courage. You know, one of my, and I say this with a great deal of admiration for him, one of the disappointments for me, and was the fact that Obama left the issue of the Russian involvement slide. And, and he, as opposed to, and as you know, Trump is making a big deal of that now. Yeah, well, you know, if he didn't do anything, why would, should we do anything now? And, and, but the reason why a lot of people apparently didn't step forward with some of this stuff was because they sincerely believed that Trump would never win an election. Right. Why make it dirtier than it was? Well, I make it dirtier than it was. But all of that is going to be, now, when you discuss that, that particular incident with Obama, you need to do it with the caveat that he really wanted Hillary to be president. So it's not a matter of him, you know, playing. I mean, it was a judgment call based on the idea that the entire world didn't think that this guy was going to win. He was standing aside. He didn't want to get screwed by. Yeah, because what he, and it was a terrible dilemma because on one hand, if he did report this, the involvement of Russians in the, and by the way, he knew that as a fact in September. So you're not talking about some late arrival. And that's what Trump keeps bringing up. Well, what Clinton did was try to stop the Russians from doing that without being, I mean, not Clinton, but Obama, without making it political, without making it look like he was doing something political. In hindsight, everybody can second guess it. But I know for those of us who would have loved to see this issue surface a little earlier, you know, that didn't help. But the bigger issue, the bigger issue maybe, and this I have discussed extensively with the President and others, is the deliberate strategy of voter suppression, that those that support Trump and in many sense the Republican agenda are beginning to participate in.  And so you say, well, but the trend has been the other way, for example, you want to encourage young people to vote. Well, should we have a lot of ignorant young people voting? You know, and that kind of thought. So why should we make it easy for these people who may be irresponsible, you know, you start classifying people who you don't want. And in some of the states that people thought would have been more strongly democratic in the primary, in the presidential election, there were hundreds of thousands of people deleted from the voter roll, disenfranchised, for one reason or another, not having a driver's life. And a lot of these things are now these requirements are coming up to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court, fortunately, is starting to knock someone down with the appellate court. It was a national campaign. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. And it was the time of the election. And by the way, you got to give them credit. Now, in fact, they did such a good job that they elected Donald Trump. I mean, it didn't matter who was running in a sense, you know, but they did a great job gerrymandering the country. And I don't think that's something that is debatable. I mean, it's already been the United States Supreme Court that says, stop it, you can't keep doing that kind of gerrymandering. And the second thing that they did were these voter suppression programs. Now, they didn't all do that six months before the last election. They did it for the decade before. Yeah. And one of the problems, and you and I talked about this, but one of the problems that progressives have is that they never take care of business, right? We spend a lot of time talking about issues, but we don't get there in the mud and actually organize voters, get out there and make sure that people are, you know, we get very unhappy with the Hawaii state legislature. And yet we don't we're the least likely to participate in an election. Well, you know, the thing is that Trump is different than any president we've ever had. Oh, yeah, of course. And, and under him, you know, all kinds of hostile things have happened, all kinds of rollback, in fact, pull out the wings on democracy, I would say. And Bill Clinton was one of those. You know, he does share some common points with W and with Bush senior and with other presidents. And W never tried to restrict voting. And that's the difference.  And of course it does because, you know, say what you like. And I was very opposed to, obviously, I mean, I helped Bill Clinton beat Bush senior. I was did everything I could to make sure that that, you know, that we supported anybody running against George, George W, including Gore and the rest of it. But, and by the way, you know, everybody does gerrymandering to some degree. I mean, the Democrats get it if we have a chance. I'm sure we've done it in Hawaii, you know. But not to the degree it was done before. But what no one has really did, really did is this systematic suppression of voters as a strategy and something you put out there. We need to do something. Democrats need to wake up.  It's a huge issue. And the Democrats could rebuild public confidence by getting on that issue. Well, it's kind of sad. I'm going to say something. It is kind of sad for our party, in a sense, when the most important Democrat is not even a Democrat. And that is Bernie Sanders. You know, something is juxtaposition. Something is wrong. And so we got to get back. And one of the one of the interesting things, one of the great things about the Clinton early years with Bill, when we were all, you know, meal fight Clintonites, so we say, Reagan had taken over the country and had moved the country from Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson's war on poverty type of democracy to something closer to a lot more conservative. So we were in the process of losing elections like crazy. So when Bill ran, we had to present an agenda that appealed to everybody. And so that meant not just welfare as a support network, but job opportunity. And sometimes I think that in this day and age, we are no longer presenting policies that resonate with the entire community. And that's all fault. But it's an opportunity, too. Yeah, you can't blame Trump. But what you can blame Trump for is he's a master dividing conquer.  But basically, one of the things that happened is, what the President told me is that he's gotten, he's known Trump for years.  And apparently, one of these issues came up and immediately Trump tweets out something and blames Clinton, right?  And he calls Clinton up. He says, ah, you know. I was only kidding. Yeah, kind of. You know, I was only kidding. What I'm dealing with is an angry population, you know, an angry public. And so, frankly, Bill, I say some of these things because I know they're angry, but I don't want them angry at me. So I give them a target to get angry at. And he actually had this conversation. The worst kind of demagoguery. I don't know what else you call it except demagoguery, you know. And so anyway.  Yeah. It's incomplete. We don't know how Hillary felt then, really, or how she feels now. We don't know how Bill felt, really. You more than most, you know how he felt. But I think we need to see that book. Yeah, I think I would love to see that. As a country, we need that book.  But there's also Bill the father, you know, Bill the husband. And I really think that, you know, he lost an election, by the way. He was elected governor one term, lost the next time, and then won again. And so it's not like he hadn't won. But I think that this probably affected Hillary's losses probably affects him more. Sure. Because he can't, you know, it's your family and you just get so worked up about not being able to respond. And you hate to see unfairness. Oh, yeah. But I tell you what, he's very proud of, though. And we also talked about that, is that Chelsea has two beautiful grandchildren, which is more than I have. But, you know, yeah.  And he enjoyed meeting people at the Hokulea, you know, and he will be on our show in the future. All right. Looking forward to that. We can ask him ourselves. Oh, wow. Thank you, John. Thanks. Thanks so much for coming down. Thank you. Let me be your host. Thank you.


Good morning everybody, welcome back to another vlog. It's been a super busy weekend. The day I'm actually filming this is a Sunday and it's just been so nice. We had the loveliest morning, taking a walk. We went to our favorite coffee shop. We walked through a bunch of different neighborhoods and came home to like, you know, use the bathroom, get ourselves together and we're gonna head to the Melrose Trading Post, which is like a fun flea market sort of thing that's every Sunday here in LA and they always just have like really good stuff. So we're always on the hunt for more wall stuff and like home decor. And sometimes you can find really good gems. We also wanna get more plants for the back patio and just the house in general. We had to get rid of some of our plants or like give our plants to some of our friends before we moved here and we're just in need of more. We just want more. So I'm wearing my cute little old navy dress this morning. It's so fun. This thing is so, oh, my little prism is going. So, you know, don't mind that. But this little thing is so bright. Like, look how bright it's making the walls. This is crazy, but it worked really well. We just walked like two, three miles and it was great. I'm wearing my hokas. Leila, are you upset that no one's paying attention to you? I'm sorry. Anywho, I'm wearing this exercise dress from Old Navy, so comfortable. The shorts were great. Yeah, my hokas, I already said that.  Just trying to keep it off of the back of my neck. It's extremely hot. And then my sunglasses are from Key, but I got them on thread up. So that's the fit for today. I'm gonna put a little bit more deodorant on because it's kind of warm outside. But before I go, I was like, oh, I got an Old Navy order in. Clearly I'm in my Old Navy era because I'm wearing a dress from them today. This dress is so bright. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it worked. And then I ordered some like loungewear type of stuff. I placed an order on Old Navy and an order on Airy. I don't think the Airy one is gonna be here in time for this vlog, but I'm gonna try some of it. I'm not gonna try it on because I'm sweating, but I'll just show you. So the first piece is this like cute tank top. I ordered it in an extra large, but now I'm wondering if I should have sized down to a large. We'll see. It is like a pretty warm material. So this will be good for like fall and winter. But here's what it looks like. It's like a blue kind of heather color. It's like a high neck tank. And then to go with it, there are these pants. These are like a high-waisted flare pant, but they have like a huge slit on the ankle. What is this? What are you? Do you ever just order things and like blackout and don't remember what you ordered? Cause same. Oh, this is fun. This is like a onesie. Oh, I'm so excited about this.  It's like a big parachute wide leg jumpsuit. And I just thought this would be so comfy. And actually this material is exactly what I wanted. Like super, super thin, very breathable. I just need more stuff to lounge around the house in that isn't pajamas. That's kind of like the issue I run into. So this will be great. And then the last set is the sort of like kind of mustardy brown color. It's like, I think a lettuce hem, which I'm a sucker for. So we have a pair of pants. I think they're cropped. Yeah, they're like a cropped wide leg pant. I'm worried that these might be a little too big. We'll see if they are, we can exchange them. But so cute. I mean a little see-through for sure, but like I'm mostly just gonna be wearing these at the house and then the matching tank top. Oh, this is so cute. Yeah, I think this is gonna be too big. So I might need to make some exchanges, but oh, I don't know. Also it might just be kind of like loose and flowy. So love that. That's my old Navy haul.  And then we're gonna go to the flea market and see what we find. I'm gonna do like a super quick, like four minute makeup routine because we are gonna be out and about probably a bit today. And I already have sunscreen on, but I am gonna just do like a little bit tinted moisturizer. I talked about this, it's, the brand is called Say, I think, and it's called the Slip Tint and it also has SPF 35 in it. It has like virtually no coverage. It's not the best, but if that's what you're on the market for, it's great. And I'm just trying to use it up because I bought it, but also cause I just want something light on my face today cause it is very toasty outside. I'm fine wearing no makeup. The only issue that I run into is just my like cluster of whatever that is, rosacea on my cheek. So sometimes just a little bit of extra coverage makes me feel better. A lot of people have asked too about like my laser journey. Hello. And like if I'm going to continue doing laser treatment, I am, I just need to find a dermatologist out here. I loved my dermatologist in Arizona so much. All right, that's good. And I'm just gonna put a little bit of concealer and do it under the eyes.  Clearly I'm very precise with my technique. Just that little bit of extra coverage like really does a lot for me. So we're gonna set that just super lightly like a super light layer of powder. Then we'll throw a little bronzer on. I've been using this bronzer for like a year and it's still, it's still going strong. It's crazy. It's like I've barely made a dent in it but this is the Fenty Beauty Private Island bronzer. So just do a little bit of bronze. Okay, cute. And then I'll do my brows and some mascara and some lip tint and that's it. Then I will just set that with this brow gel. This is the 24 hour brow setter by Venfit. Just gonna curl my lashes real quick. And then the mascara I'm using right now is the Maybelline Sky High. I just like, I love drugstore mascara but I did buy a sample size of this Ilia mascara. Here it is. It's the Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara. I had seen a bunch of people on TikTok talk about this and like it does make your lashes look good but oh my God, it smears. Like it smears so bad. Probably worse than like any mascara I've ever used and I wore it to the pool granted but like I didn't get in the water. I wore this to the pool when I went to Alexa's pool like I don't know, a couple weeks ago and like, I don't know, it was smeared. Like I had like panda eyes. So I'll try it again because it is a pretty good mascara but oh my God. If anyone has any tips for us oily gals. Oh, perfect. I'll just try it on the top this time, maybe. Oh. Okay, I need to fix what's going on underneath but I gotta wait for it to dry first.  I have the Fenty Beauty one and I like it too but I kinda like this one better. It's very like watery though, so you have to be careful. And there you have it, boom, done. Actually I have to post some like sponsored content so I'm gonna go do that and then we're gonna hit up the flea market. This stuff away, so I thought I would show you and yes, this laundry that you're seeing. It's a week old. It will literally just be there for the rest of time. We got a few art prints. It was actually the first place that we walked up to when we walked in and we've been looking for more prints for the walls. So this one is actually for our friends. We got this for our friends Josh and Noel. And it has a bunch of different like Tiki type of drinks and they're very much into like that kind of thing. And I think it kind of goes with the decor in their house so hopefully they like it. And then we got a couple things for the kitchen and here we got this one. Kind of vintagey looking. It says summer cocktails and has a bunch of different cocktails. We got these two which are so cute. Look at these, oh, oh. We'll tell you why our arms are a little tired inside. We got these two. It's an April spritz and a Negroni. Not gonna lie, I don't love Negronis but it is like a very cute ensemble. And then we got this one to commemorate our trip to Japan that we took a few years ago. And it was just cute. So those are prints. And then I got this shirt.  Oh my God, I can't hold on to anything. My arms are shaking so bad. Look how cute that is with like some wide leg jeans. Adorable. Can you put like these on like, what do you want? I probably would just wear like a bandeau under it. Did you get the cucumber salad before? Yes. Pretty good. It's cucumber and onion. And then I also got from Issa embroidery. This cute little like loom. I think is what it's called, right? A loom, loom is a machine that makes it. It's a hoop, embroidery hoop. Oh, sure. But it has a bunch of plants on it and I thought it would need to be really cute on the wall and like the bathroom, my office, living room. My arms are so dead because we ended up getting three gigantic plants. They were each like $40, which is crazy because in Arizona, each one of these plants would be at least $100, if not like $150. So the fact that we got each of them for like 40, 45, something like that. Really good. We got three new babies. We would have gotten more, but we simply couldn't carry them. We should have brought our wagon. Yeah, are we coming with you?  I didn't either. When you put a plant in front of us, we're probably gonna buy it. This is, I think, some kind of ficus. It's a ficus. Yeah. So here is our new ficus to go with another ficus that we have in the living room.  Yeah. Good job. Good job. These people are the best. I wish I knew the name of this plant stand that's always at the trading post, but they're always the best and they always have the best prices. And then we also got another bird of paradise. I wanna say that we even vlogged when we got our first one like three years ago. Yeah, she had, we named her Birdie, but she got some kind of disease in Arizona. And so we had to, unfortunately, she died. It was really, really sad.  Yeah, we had her for almost three years. Almost three years, yeah. So it's a new chapter. We've got a new place, so we got a new birdie and she's big. She's a big girl. This is big birdie. Yeah, this is big bird. What a stunning queen. Oh, yeah. This is big birdie. Yeah, big birdie is home. Welcome home, girlfriend. She already had a little light offshoot, so I think this is a good sign. She's doing well, she's thriving.  That's the thing is, we didn't think about it. We were on like the total opposite, probably like three quarters of a mile from where we parked and we had to walk with these plants in both of our arms. Like I can't even hold up my phone right now. So anyway. I don't know what plant this is. I don't know what this third one is called when I walk. Someone will tell us. We don't have to know everything. Yeah, we do. Just Scorpio things. Yeah, someone can tell us. Okay, someone can tell us what this plant is called. So here she is. She's beauty, she's grace. Watch this play around. But yeah, we need to figure out what it is because then we need to figure out how much to water it and like where to put it and stuff. But I'm sure a lot of you in the comments will let me know. So yeah, that's our farmer's market hall. It will probably come as no surprise that we ordered Tsum Tsum for lunch. That seems to be like our every Sunday thing. I showed it in the last vlog that we were, or maybe it was a Saturday in that vlog, but we ordered it like every single weekend now. So that's on the way or they're making it now. And we're just gonna try to like find new spots for these plants and try to cool off a little bit because we are very overheated. All right, I mean, we might be predictable here, but I have my same order except this time I got cabbage and cucumber salad, fried eggnet, falafel, turmeric rice, and yeah, Israeli couscous. And then Drew got- Israeli pickles. Cucumber salad. Cucumber salad, fried egg plant, and then just rice. I don't really care. Yeah, and then tahini for me. And pita bread, garlic paste, and yes, we are predictable, okay? We are watching Escape to the Country. It's just, we are who we are. Okay, ignore the little bit of a mess that's happening in here, but I just took a shower and put on this little like onesie thing and it is so comfortable. Would I wear it like out and about? No, probably not, but like wearing around the house? So comfortable, it's so lightweight.  I swear to God, I'm literally about to go buy all the rest of the colors in this. I love it. Bold Navy typically runs pretty large, but this I got in an extra large and it's the perfect size for me. The other items that I ordered though, I am gonna have to size down in, but oh my gosh, so cute, obsessed. Just took Layla out for her afternoon walk. Drew's in the shower right now. We are going to lay in bed, probably put something on TV in our room and just take a nice Sunday nap. I'm so excited. I'm also happy to announce that I have finally gotten into this book, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It took me like 26 chapters. I'm on page 165. It took me almost like a hundred pages to really get into it, but now I'm into it and I'm what, like a third of the way done and I'm definitely gonna sit down and enjoy this because I'm quite loving it. I'm very much getting into it and like living in LA and kind of even though this is fictional, you know, reading about sort of old Hollywood stuff is pretty interesting, but I will say, I cannot wait to go through all the hard copy or you know, the physical books that I have that I wanna read because I'm missing my Kindle so much. I can't believe how much of a Kindle girly I have become. I literally love that thing. Two hours later. You can probably hear Drew's vacuuming in the background, but we definitely just took a two and a half hour nap. It's just kind of what happened on Sundays. I don't wanna talk about it. Anyways, we put our new plant right here, which I think looks so, so cute. We definitely need to get like, I don't know, something else for the wall. I don't know if I'm feeling this in here. We might need to switch it around and actually we're going to move this rug, I think maybe into the living room. We're just gonna see about that because we need to have a different rug. We need to have a washable rug in the living room. Oh my God, look how cute Mu looks by the way. Layla sleeps in the living room most of the time now. She has like no interest in sleeping in this room. And she is stinking up that rug in the living room so bad. And we bought the like scented powder stuff to put on it, but we just need to get that out of the living room. And honestly, we love the idea of having a big rug in here. So we might just like switch this out. We also have another one of these in like a black or a brown, sorry, what color? A blue color. So we might try to switch that out or something. So we're gonna do that here in a little bit. But in the meantime, we're cleaning, starting our laundry and ordering groceries. I gotta go. It's loud. So before I end this vlog that I would show you where we ended up putting the plants. So here we have the ficus tree in this corner over here. I don't know what I'm gonna end up doing with that. That's actually hand carved by Drew's uncle, great uncle, I think. So we're trying to figure out like where to put it. But in the meantime, the tree's going here, so cute. And I mean, it looks kind of the same as it did before, but I just think it looks a little bit better. And then we moved to the fake tree. I'll show you that. And then we did move a few things around in here. This trunk was Drew's grandfathers or great grandfathers. Great grandfathers. Yes, we just kind of like moved it around. We ended up getting rid of our Roomba in here because it's just too loud with like neighbors. And also it's like not working that well. So we just stored it for now. But we'll have to like style this up a little bit. We might hang something right here. And then this is all the same. This is all the same. We are gonna switch out these rugs, but just not tonight. Let's just sleep over here. We put the bird of paradise in this little corner. This is like our sort of wifi overflow book storage and dog toy corner. So that's where that's gonna go. We actually I think have decided that we're gonna move this gallery wall to this wall because we can spread it out more. We can take up more space and then we'll just find like a smaller piece for this wall. So there's that. And I think I already showed, yeah, I did. I already showed the tree in this room. And then we moved the fake tree into the bathroom. And I just think it looks so cute right here. Like it definitely just brings some needed color to the space. I might try to find some kind of like platform to put it on so it's a little bit taller because it's kind of just like tucked behind the tub. But yeah, that's the updates. It's somehow already like what? It's freaking almost 6 p.m. or something like that. We just ordered our groceries.  We're actually waiting on our postmates to be delivered. We ordered postmates twice today. So, but the reason we ordered groceries is so we don't have to do that. We're gonna cook dinner every single night this week. But yeah, thank you for being here and for hanging out with me on a day in my life on a nice, I wasn't gonna say nice chill Sunday, but it was like a mixture of both. It was like chill and then also we did stuff. Thank you for being here, sending you a lot of love and we'll see you in the next vlog. Bye.


Welcome to map analysis for hedgehogs. So this is a different room than usual because I'm on vacation So just ignore that part. But anyways in posting because it seems to be a new trend that certain Melvver files are built with electron framework and electron framework is a way to create desktop application JavaScript code. So the resulting Portable executable files are huge and if this is the first for you as a reverse engineer, you might get lost in the Well, huge application and where to find the actual code. So that's the reason I'm posting this use a small tutorial on how to unpack This kind of file based on a stealer example. So let's see So the fight is being on a look at is this crazy down PE file and at the time it or at the time yesterday it was posted on Melvver tips and the question was okay this supposed to be game is this truly legit and yeah, check virus total on that and Yesterday there were zero detections on both total. So none of the scanners detected By now it seems that automation has picked up because I know for a fact that this is from automation Um So What do we see on barstow? We see it's relatively big almost 70 megabytes and Detected easy determines. It's a now soft installer. So nothing suspicious right here because now soft is very common Also by legit files. It's just a way to create your own installers But the version information is already weird like the version information says description evil. All right And the names here also a somewhat weird name But this can sometimes happen if you have files that are generate names arbitrarily for the temp folder so they could like have Random names for certain reasons. So this is not always an indicator that it's malicious So something else that was interesting the behavior tab. Well, first off Mitra I generally do not look at that much because it's an interpretation It doesn't tell me hard facts like why Does it think that certain things are happening here and what's the exact command for that? So this is something I don't see in Mitra. So let's remove that tree. That's interested here But yeah, the DNS resolution. So this says age or stealer WTF. All right I when I saw this I was immediately like, okay I want to find the code that actually references this and see what's happening there When you go Scroll down to the files that are being written. You see here mention of clipboard the clipboard is a legit application It's a package for Node.js But this application is there to you know get the clipboard contents. So basically name checks out so This could be abused by malware What else do we see you scroll down here's some Mention of credit cards database passwords database web data database. So Okay, this looks more like a stealer like This could actually be a stealer So based on that, how do we find the code right here? Now, we know it's now soft. So we can just unpack it with seven zip and This is what you get So here are the unpacked files. We have some dls and choose another archive. So let's unpack this archive And this is now where the interesting part started for me at least We have a lot of files here a lot of fights and the main process when you execute this It's built out easy. So you will see that this this build out easy does all of the interesting stuff so This is a huge file 158 megabytes and I immediately got lost in that for like two hours The detected easy needs some time to process this file because it's so big and Here we see the result. So the tech easy says it's an electron package if you check the signature Presenter s see it thinks so because of the section name. So there's a section name named CPA D info and Another one named zero zero CFG So this seems to be indicative of electron package The strings will also tell you so but I'm not gonna extract the strings right now because it's so big like there are too many strings to See all of them. The reason I'm posting this here is it's actually not so hard to obtain the code but when you haven't seen this before it can be challenging because this is like where you would look first because it's a main executable and Because it's so big you will get lost. So I tried finding ways to unpack this package But actually where the code is isn't the resources F dot Azar file. So this can be named can have a different name But it would generally have dot Azar at the end of it. So this is the package It's interesting when you have an electron application. So when detected easy tells you it's electron Check for resources and then check for the dot Azar file. So this is the one that's interesting here and Now you need some Azar unacquire There is one for seven zip. That's a plug-in can install this plug-in and then seven zip is able to Unstrike extract this one as well It will say unavailable data node modules clipboard So this is the data you will see has already been unpacked here and for some reason here to complaints that this is not available You can ignore that now we have the data here and Now you got to know where to look for the rest so the package JSON It's like the package definition file And it will tell you our entry point for this is main.js So this could have a different name, but here we know it's main.js also see author's evil. Yeah Evil also interesting, but that's just a side note config.js in this case says webhook replace me So we check the main.js because that seems to be the entry point and it doesn't do much just 19 lines of code But it refers to core aes.js so it says this is required and We're gonna check this one because it's referenced and here is the interesting data actually because here We have a huge string that is being all that's Turn the turn off the word wrap actually. So this is a huge base 64 string and That contains some encrypted data and now you have to decode this data now This is very specific to the stealer now We already basically unpack this electron app and if that's all you need you kind of stop here But for this particular file for this particular stealer We also need to decode this part and that's quite easy. You just replace this part here with some output Like so What it does now it will print the contents of decrypted. So this will Decrypt this right, so then we print the contents of that. So Let's copy and paste this and I'm kind of lazy I'm using just this online compiler Now click on execute and here we have everything copy and paste this to new file and Now I'm turning word wrap on again Because otherwise we miss some interesting things and I'm gonna turn on the JavaScript highlight And here we see the code that references HL stealer and we also see this what was the this is some kind of Authentication password or something that so This was also used as a file name what we saw in verse total and this is huge Like this is more than 3,000 lines of code So you can check this and look What the seeder is capable of basically it steals everything you can imagine so from telegram to discord tokens to Browser data passwords everything you can imagine Roblox Drotopia and And you'll also find some reference to class called space dealer Where some interesting stuff is happening here in the constructor so we see startup So persistence we see Some functions that steal tokens and telegram stuff and some discord references Yeah, so Anyways, check it out if you're interested and That's all I gotta tell you about the electron. Yeah You
