Okay, welcome, we are at the middle, almost the last session. Well, the topic today is like, well, I want to motivate you to create H projects. That's my idea. To be fun a little bit, to show something different, something practical and push you to start creating something. The topic is building smart farms with H competing system using Kubernetes. I work as a DevOps engineer. My other work is to be a professor in the public university of Guatemala. I am from Guatemala. So I am going to show you like, a specific kind of use cases for Latin America, but you can apply it to another countries in the world, right? Because we are like, from a lot of countries in this room, right? So this talk has three parts. The theory part, the technical or technology part, and the practice, let's say. In the theory, because maybe you are a researcher, you are not a sysadmin guy or something similar. So what is H computing? Well, or H computing refers more to process the information near to the edge. So let's say that you have the data in this room and I have a cluster here where I am staying right now and I am processing the data here, not in the cloud. I am closer to you. So the data is closer, right? That refers to H computing, how you are processing or where you are processing the data. IoT is some concept that you have here and it's like mentioned every time that you are talking about H. So when you connect that device to the internet, it has some kind of smart software or something that collects data or something similar is IoT.  H computing, let's say that IoT devices use more like microcontrollers. I know that you have here Arduino. So Arduino is a microcontroller. An edge device use a microprocessor. What kind of device like a Raspberry Pi like I have here? Like here are three Raspberry Pi's. This thing uses microprocessors. What kind of microprocessors? ARM, right? H devices because has microprocessors can perform multiple tasks are more powerful, right? Because are more powerful consumes more energy. Both IoT is different than H computing. H computing refers more, where are you transforming or processing the data? You are near to the source of the data. These concepts are complementary. Maybe you can get that data, process the data locally and then you can move that data to the cloud, right? If it's your use case in a specific or maybe you can distribute that data in different locations. We can say that maybe H computing is the next level of evolution of IoT, but in reality it's complementary. Or who knows, maybe all the people is going to start to forget IoT concept and all the people is going to add up the H computing term right now. Like cloud computing. A lot of people mentioned the cloud, the cloud, but years before of that nobody knows what the cloud was. So what are smart farms? So here is my beautiful chicken here, the farm. I was reading an article and I saw a similar image but because of the copyright I was like, I can use it. So I was trying to design my own kind of farm and the chicken and that kind of thing. I think that this image represents a lot of countries. For example, in my country it's more agriculture. But maybe in other countries are more like chickens, cows and different animals, right? So the demo for this topic is going to more focus on more on plants, not in animals, right? But what is a smart farm?  So smart farming refers, he's mentioning that the farms are using modern information, communication technologies. And using this kind of technologies, they are like increasing the quality, the quantity of the products and our automizing processes to create these things, right? They are optimizing the human labor, maybe automating the things using artificial intelligence, automation using robots, automation using machines, right? So when you are combining your farms with technology, in special with software, you are creating something smart without the human intervention, right? But what kind of technologies we can use or we can find in the smart farms? The sensors, let's say that here I have like my protoboard, a pretty basic sensor, like just to measure weather. If you remember when you were studying engineering, that's the first project of measuring weather, the humidity, temperature, that sensor. So sensors that measure movement, weather, humidity, et cetera, technologies like some software or maybe IT platforms like some, maybe somebody is using like something from AWS, something from Azure and that kind of platforms. I refer to that part in a specific. Do you need connectivity? Like the phones, Laura, let's say that in this talk, I was like trying to present something like, but because of the internet connection that I don't know in this room, I can connect my phone to the internet. So that the reason to don't present my live demo here in the session, right? But I have a video. So don't worry. Technologies like GPS, right? Let's say for example, Waze, we use Waze, we use Google Maps and that kind of things. Robotics and we are analyzing data, right? That kind of technologies form the smart farm. Also big data and similar things. So maybe here's a graph about how maybe a smart farm looks. I don't know if you have seen this video from Mars that there's a guy and a cow in another planet and something like that. Well, here's a kind of reference. The drones are pretty popular right now. Maybe we can use a tablet to connect to the system that is in the farm, near to the source of the data in the plants, who knows. So here's a concept that there's a farm cycle that is based on IoT.  So you have to take decisions, maybe using machine learning and an action and then you are going to repeat the cycle, right? Some specific use cases could be like precision farming, refers more to, let's say, how many water do you need for a plant and, et cetera, precision livestock farming are more referral about how many food or nutrition quantity for animals. Automation in smart green houses, like that kind of small houses, some of us, we have experiments at house trying to put some water in some plant using a raspberry pi or something similar, that kind of climate houses and agricultural drones, maybe for perform irrigation across like analyzing images when the drone is flying and something like that. In my country, when they are like checking plants or that kind of things, they perform a lot of irrigation using drones in Guatemala for the coffee plants and that kind of things. Also cacao and that kind of things. Here's some numbers in Latin America. For example, say that Brazil has the largest agriculture and food exporter, their presentation on billion of dollars, followed by Argentina, also Mexico is present. I think that these stats are from 2022, are pretty recent and Chile and Ecuador and Peru. So that's a lot of money that countries in Latin America are doing, like when processing plants, food animals and that kind of thing. So there are big numbers. So we have like a big market to implement smart things there. So for example, here says in the 2018 and the 14% of the labor in Latin America represent that kind of percentage in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras. A lot of people is working on that, right? I represent a lot of money for our countries. But this thing is not limited just to Latin America because we have South America, Europe, Africa, Asia in all the continents. It's like just numbers and specific in Latin America but applies to the whole part of the world. So this represents, some people is saying that this is the third green revolution that refers more like, let's say that, because we are using a smart farming revolution, that means that we are using less fertilizer, we are optimizing the quantity. So we have more efficiency for that. So we are, let's say creating safety food for us. We are using less water for that. So we are optimizing that treatments and the input. So we are healthier for our world, right? So we are optimizing that thing. So that refers, this is another concept that I was like pretty, pretty interesting on that because here at the Clown Native Computing Foundation we have a technical group that refers more to a specific environmental sustainability that they talk about how to use the energy in a better way, how Clown Native can tackle that part of things using less energy, be green with the world, right? So when you are optimizing the processes with plants, with animals, we are using less energy. We are creating safety food for us, safety plants, safety animals, bread, et cetera. So we are trying to be green for the world, right? So that's an important thing that this thing is mixed with smart farms, the better use of energy. So the technical part is that, for example, K-3S is a lightweight Kubernetes that you can use. It's designed to use like, not all the components of the regular Kubernetes cluster, just the minimal use. Of course, it's using less energy than the regular Kubernetes. You can run it on a Raspberry Pi, right? You can also use a solar panel to power your Raspberry Pi just using that part to give them energy. So Kubernetes can give you that power also to scale your applications to manage your farm, and that things scale to a thousand of nodes, right? ARM is one of the processors that is more like, balanced, let's say, about power and energy consumption, right? Intel has a lot of power, but a lot of energy consumption. That's the reason that right now, also in the cloud providers, they are promoting the use of ARM processors because of that balance. Better for the world, better for your bucket, right? For, let's say that home use cases scenarios, you can use a Raspberry Pi, but some people use this Raspberry Pi for a real world scenario, right? I think that is a version that the NASA is using outside in the space, right? But you can use a Raspberry Pi. They are like similar kind of devices. What do you need to create your system? Do you need like micro SD cards, put an operating system or your Raspberry Pi, just a small switch like this one, pretty small. Also you can just mask and tape to put all the things together. And your internet connection. You can use your smartphone as an access point. That's the way I use to show sometimes a demo on real time. Some challenges, how you reduce your cost, your power supply, the sensors, how to maintain your images. So with all of these pieces, you have to create a smart phone to measure temperature and humidity for plants. That's an example that I have. The demo part is the last part. So let's create your system. With a Raspberry Pi like this, you can install Ubuntu, maybe Raspbian, that is an operating system based on Debian, a micro SD card, a small switch, maybe an starter kit with sensors to use as simple as you can. A cheaper and easier. Then you have to install your Ubuntu operating system, configure your Raspberry Pi, install K3S with some simple commands. Well, this one is a pretty complicated, more for the specific use cases, but you can run it on one line, right? Then you have to install additional software like simulate load balancers, like Metal LB for example, and some storage using Longhorn and another software like KNET for serverless functions on your Raspberry Pi to save some power. But in this use cases scenario for a small smart farm, just to measure the weather and humidity, we have to install MySQL and Grafana, just that. You have to run your client or your device to send the metrics of our temperature and humidity and how this looks in the device. Well, I have my mini cluster here, the switch, all the connections, a kind of adapter for my Raspberry Pi, the sensor, pretty basic, right? Something simpler, you don't have to do complex things for that. How our system is designed. Let me show you the architecture. You have two devices, maybe one, that you can use as a cluster and a device to capture that metrics or that information. So I have like Grafana deployment and MySQL deployment, some REST API that gets, well, let's say that my H device that has a Python script is capturing the humidity and temperature and is calling an API REST from my cluster, right? So this is going to get information, is going to store information in MySQL and Grafana is to show you the data that is being recorded there, right? And then you have a laptop to check the metrics, maybe you can, let's say the farmer, can have like a tablet to check the dashboard in real time and you can maybe create an alert to say, oh my God, the temperature is a lot, something is not working and I have to perform some optimization for the weather, right? So in that way, you can start your pretty basic experiment there. And here is a video about how that kind of system can work. And let me see. Okay, I think that is on, okay. Here is the dashboard. It's showing the information, right? Showing the information about humidity, temperature and well, the temperature on Fahrenheit and Celsius and humidity, right? So if I put the finger on the sensor, you are going to see that the graph is going to be up, right? And then when I remove my finger, it's going to down the temperature, right? Because the finger is a little bit warm and that thing, right? So let me, okay, you can see in this part how the graphic goes down a little bit. And here's the part of my SQL. And here's the part of my SQL. Just a basic query, right? The number of device return me the temperature on Celsius, on Fahrenheit and humidity. Please graph that on Grafana and that's it, right? A simple basic age system that you can do at your home, right? That's the basic example that I have here, something that you can implement. Some, okay, some code that I can show you. For example, the REST API to get the information. The Python script, pretty basic. Like, let's read from this print from the Raspberry Pi, then call my REST API, right? Then my service is going to get the information and just perform an insert on the database, right? And then Grafana, here is the query. Please show me that, right? And that's it, a simple basic age system that you can use, you can save farmers. You can push them to be more productive with this kind of systems just to measure that information or to see that information in their own smartphone, right? Pretty cheap, without using a lot of money. So Latin America has a lot of potential for that because we don't have a lot of money. So we need this kind of systems, right? So let's return to the presentation. It's loading, okay. So here's the link for the slides. And basically that's it. I think that we have like four minutes for questions. Well, this is the important link, right? The slides and then all the links inside are there. So, well, there's a GitHub repository with all the source code, the containers and everything. Resources that I just said, please remember that environment sustainability is important. They are promoting to be green using cloud-nated technologies. The book I wrote about JH Computing, there are a lot of examples there. I also use the examples there to create my own example and my contact, right? I don't know if you have questions to start implementing this at home. Well, at least in Guatemala, no. So I think that depends on the country. I think that, for example, in the US, I think that they are exploding that kind of opportunity, right? But in Guatemala, we have like, get some support outside Guatemala, maybe with US or some non-lucrative organizations can help that third world countries to start implementing that kind of things. I think that that's the way it works in Latin America, I think, yeah, so. Another question, yeah. I have here, there was some statistics in some site, but I couldn't screenshot the thing because you have it to pay. But I was looking that in some countries, they are like Brazil. They are starting to use these kind of technologies, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. For example, in Guatemala, they are technical schools that are dedicated for technology as some to agriculture. I think that there's like some kind of potential in the schools, let's say, because in the university, the government, that kind of things could be complicated, and the money, and that kind of things. Yeah, so it's, let's say that Latin America is a potential place to start moving smart farms, right? Okay, let's say that it depends in the use case, right? Because for example, if you don't have like, also you can use an old computer, right? So it depends. For example, if you don't have that old computer, maybe you can, and you don't have space to put the computer, because like, let's say that a regular computer is like this, and a Raspberry Pi is a small place. So maybe the advantage that you can have with a Raspberry Pi is the size, the energy that a Raspberry Pi can consume. And the other thing is that the Raspberry Pi has a lot of kids of everything, that you can add up sensors and everything, but you have to, also Raspberry Pi has some production versions that you can use and put outside the, in your house. Ah. For example, in use cases that maybe you can scale the thing, and you can automate deployments or upgrade the information. So it has a lot of good things of using Kubernetes there. I think that is time, because of the sign up there. So thank you very much. I will be there for the other questions.


Hey everyone and welcome to Norris Cove. We're welcome back. If you're new here, I'm Yoshida. I am the owner of Norris Cove. Also here at Norris Cove, we do budgeting, finances, business-related items and things like that. And also, I plan my life minimally or functionally. So if that is something that you would be interested in, I hope that you would consider subscribing. But today, we are talking, I normally do my budget on Mondays and it's Monday. Sometimes I get uploaded on Tuesday. But I decided to do something a little different today. I didn't want to kind of just leave you all like out there with nothing. And our to-pay sticky notes are restocking tomorrow. Actually, they'll be restocking tonight at 12. So today is Monday. So they'll be restocking tomorrow at 12. So I thought I would plan my budget on here just really quickly. So I'm going to pull out my big planner and go to the monthly's and see what we have to do. Got my calendar here. And I just figured it'd just be a cool way to plan this week. Now, something I still haven't decided upon if I was going to share, which is my card note, but I'm going to write everything down that I have due this month instead. I mean, this week instead. So let's hop right on into it. I have my calendar out here. This is the month of February. This is how I have it, you know, decorated it or whatever, put all my stickers in and whatever. I've gone through my personal planner. I had that out because I was going to use that. And I've already highlighted things that have been paid. So I'm just going to go through and do that here. I have paid so far. All my bills, except for that T-Mobile. Let me let me not do that. And see here ahead at the 12, but I was thinking it was like the 14th or something uplift, and that wasn't the last payment. I've already paid my car note, even though it's due. And see here, I have a note of it goes into the car savings account. I've been putting my car note into like a digital envelope, which is just through the bank. That works for me because this new car note I have, I can't break it up like I used to do the last one. At least that's not an option. I probably could if I just paid it that way. But I just put it into a savings account. Well, it's a checking account, but I just put money there and transfer it and it works.  So anywho, I've already paid that. It's not due to Wednesday. I actually paid it today. So that's why I said, Oh, I have to do my budget. And then all I have left this week is Citibank and Barclays and then my booth rent. It's going to be tough because I'll be out for a few days. So but I wanted one thing I'm going to do is pay that car note. Also, let me hop over here into my personal plan. I see this little thing here. I don't know how I like this. Maybe it's just maybe this planner, but this doesn't stay. But let me go over. So I'm going to review a little bit last week as well in my budget planner. I did my totals for less week in my salon schedule. And last week, we did a total of 1400. Y'all, I was not anticipating that. Let's switch on over to a weekly review and put that in. But I wasn't expecting that. I really wasn't. So I was a little shocked because we got estimated 19 excuse me 900 and it was actually 1400 North Cove. I don't think we did that nails. I got $45 North Cove. I don't think we did that. I think we did like 135 something like that. So and then of course, all of these things were paid and uplift was actually this week. And that's the thing because I made that money I had money left over from last week to put into my car savings and to pay some things for this week. So this is our rundown of last week, everything got paid and we were actually about a calculator. I had not planned to be this long. Yeah, so we made an extra 500, which is always good. So this week, we're just going to do something really quick because this is a light week. See, and I keep it to pay is here. Since this is a light week. Let's go ahead and put down. Today was uplift. And that was 3857. That was paid. I paid my car note today. And I'm just going to put paid. We on the 17th, we have Citibank and honestly, I don't even know how much Citibank is. It's normally like $40. So looking to that the 18th, we have Barclays. I don't know how much they are. And then on the 18th, I have Boothrent due and what in the world? I gave it to ease. That's 250. And I don't know, hopefully, because the rest of my week is kind of like today was a good day because I actually had some a walk, a call in rather, and then a last minute customer. This is the pad to stay here at my desk. So I'm just put that over to the side. And I'm going to put this in my personal planner. I'm going to put that. I got to keep one here. I can put it in my inbox. I'm just going to switch it to the weekly. Switch it here. And you guys, that's it. That's our budget for the week because this is all that we have. So I figured I'd keep it a little light. Again, these two pay sticky notes will be restocking tonight at 12 a.m.  The price is ridiculous.  So they did go up just a slight little bit, but they are back and we had a lot of requests for these. So maybe now we can justify getting more. So once these sell out, they'll be restocked sooner. So there we are. I hope you guys enjoyed today's video. Again, if today was your first time watching any of my videos and you enjoyed today's video, please do me a favor, hit that subscribe button, leave me a comment, let me know if this is your first time here at the Cove. I would love to welcome you to the Cove and I will talk to you guys in my next video.


For each and every one of us, food tells a story. It starts with agriculture, and our actions impact its journey, each step of the way. We have one planet, and are part of one system. We must work together to build a better future. We need to reconnect with nature, and work is one. Let's rewrite the story of food for a better, more sustainable world. Our actions are our future.


Zero Accounting Software 2023, bills, enter, sort, and pay.  First, a word from our sponsor. Well, actually, these are just items that we picked from the YouTube Shopping Affiliate Program, but that's actually good for you because these aren't things that were just given to us from some large corporation, which we don't even use in exchange for us selling them to you. These are things that we actually researched, purchased, and used ourselves. Acer 27-inch monitor. I've been using an Acer monitor as my primary monitor for a few years now. This is the first Acer monitor that I have used after having used a series of different brands of monitors in the past. The Acer monitor has been performing well, and I'm trusting the Acer brand more and more as I use the monitor. I have a 27-inch monitor, which I think is ideal for what I do, which is, of course, the screen recording and the editing. If you would like a commercial-free experience, consider subscribing to our website at accountinginstruction.com or accountinginstruction.thinkific.com, where we have many different courses. You can purchase one at a time or have a subscription model, giving you access to all the courses. Courses which are well-organized have other resources like Excel files and PDF files to download and no commercials. Here we are in our custom Zero Home page going into the company file. We set up in a prior presentation that being get great guitars, duplicating some tabs to put reports in like we do every time. Right-click in the tab up top so we can duplicate it. Right-click in the tab up top so we can duplicate it again. Back to the tab to the middle, Accounting drop-down. We're opening the balance sheet, the slightly modified balance sheet that we made in the prior presentation. If you don't have that, you can open the standard balance sheet. Tab into the right, Accounting drop-down. This time the income statement. We're going to look at the comparative income statement. Again, if you don't have that, that's okay. You can use the standard income statement. The dates look good here. The date looks good there. Alright, let's go to the first tab then. We're going to be entering the month-end type of bill transactions that are typical to a business. The cyclical kind of bills that come around, such as the telephone bill, the utility bill, and so on. Last time we did this, we wrote it with just a check type of form as the bill became due, which is often what small businesses will do. This time, however, we want to enter it as an accounts payable, so we can practice that added step of tracking the accounts payable. Let's open up our flowcharts to get an idea of the flow. This is a QuickBooks desktop screenshot of the flowchart on the home page. We're just using it, however, to look at the accounting flow of the forms, which will be basically the same no matter what kind of software or system that we are using. We're looking at the vendor side of things. At the end of the vendor side of things, we expect whether using cash or a cruel basis, cash will be going out of the company, so we can be purchasing goods, services, or assets like inventory and fixed assets that will be used to generate revenue either now and or in the future. Now, notice that the vendor side for normal kind of expenses is usually the area where the bank feeds can save the most amount of time for many small businesses because oftentimes we're paying those more and more on an electronic kind of basis and we can set up auto payments and that kind of stuff as the bills come around and we can wait until the bills actually clear our bank, use the bank feeds to record the decrease to the checking account in our system and have the other side go to the expense account like utilities, telephone, and so on and so forth. That's the easiest thing to do, which would be great if you're in a system where you can do that. However, if you're in a system where you're going to be tracking the accounts payable, which is often the case when you get to larger types of businesses, because the cash management strategy is going to be more and more important or if you're in a situation with a small business where you're really tight on cash and you're really cutting it close in terms of your cash management. But as a company gets larger, it makes a bigger difference if we pay either today or 15 days from now because either the amount of payments that we're making are large dollar amounts or and or we're making a whole lot of different payments. So if you have thousands of payments that you're making each day, that $15 difference of paying today or 15 days from now becomes relevant to the point where you want to really kind of track your accounts payable and try to pay them as late as possible as long as you're not annoying your vendors. Okay, so that's what we're going to do this time. We're going to enter these items as bills so we can see the tracking of the bills when we enter a bill we are increasing accounts payable and then we will pay the bill. Now as we do this, remember that the bill form is not the same thing as a physical bill. When I get the physical bill say from Verizon telephone company, I call that a bill just a normal parlance even accounting terms that we have received to the distributor of the bill. They might call it an invoice from our but you know it's a bill or an invoice. It depends on which side of the table we are on. You can call it either one. We got invoice, we got billed, right? Typically we'll say we got billed but we can pay that bill by not entering a bill into our accounting system but rather just writing a check into the system. So the bill form in our accounting system is something different than the physical bill. If I take that physical bill and enter it into the data input bill form, that means that we're going to be increasing accounts payable as opposed to if I take the bill paper form and just pay it with a check or a money out electronic transfer at that time. I'm not entering a bill into the system. I'm entering a payment, a check into the system. So then we have the pay bill. When we pay the bill we are paying it in essence with a check type form or a money out form which is a normal kind of outgoing form. However, every time we're paying off the bills we know that the other side of the transaction will be a decrease to accounts payable and that's useful to note if I'm trying to drill back down on the data. Alright, that said, let's go back in here. Let's go to the first tab and we can enter the bills with the plus dropdown. We can go into the bill form, bill form increase in the accounts payable and the first one I'm going to say is going to go to Verizon. And so we're going to say that happened on let's say 228, 228, Feb 28 and then the due date. Note that the due date obviously is more likely something that we're going to have to populate manually into the system because it'll be dependent upon the due date basically that's on the bill as opposed to when we invoice where we're making the due date and we might make it a standard 30 days from the date of the invoice for example. Alright, so I'm going to tab through this and notice that down here nothing is populating thus far. It's not really memorizing the last transaction because we're using a bill versus a check but also note that if you wanted it to memorize the account that's going to go to then you might go into the Verizon contact and put the contact account so that the account will populate automatically and that could save some time. But we're not going to have an item because we're not purchasing inventory and then so we're just going to put the amount down below. I'm just going to say 1 and 300 let's just say it was for 360, 360 and that's just a cool number because you did a 360 degree turn on the skateboard or something. The 360. Alright, so then in any case focus here we're going to say the account is going to go to the telephone account that we set up in a prior presentation. Notice now that we're in the second month of operations these accounts should already be set up and we want to make sure that we're not adding new accounts so that we have multiple accounts that basically are different versions of telephone like the telephone or under utilities or something like that we want to be consistent. Alright, if we do this what's going to happen increase to the bill 360 other side go into the telephone expense and the sub ledger for accounts payable will be impacted increasing Verizon. Let's approve it and check it out. Let's wait till we get the green go ahead. There's the green go ahead. Go to the balance sheet and update the balance sheet scrolling down and we're going down to accounts payable. Let's go into the AP and check it out scrolling down. We have the 360 there that looks good. Let's go back and then to the income statement and update the form scrolling down on the income statement. We've got the telephone. There's the 360 on the telephone and let's open up another report so we can see the sub ledger which is going to give us the breakout of the vendors for the accounts payable. We're breaking out this line item here. So I'm going to go to the tab to the right right click on it duplicate the tab and then we'll go to the accounting drop down and the reports and scroll down. We're looking for the payables and receivables and let's look at the aged payables summary report. The aged payables summary report and so there we have it. And so there we have our two payables here for Fender. That was that new vendor we set up before and Verizon. So that totals up to the three seven two zero which should tie up to the balance sheet three seven two zero. Of course in practice we would probably be tracking internally as we're paying the bills to try to pay them as late as possible as the general strategy here. So if I go to the business drop down and go to the bills to pay we can track our bills this way which would be typical way to do it. So we've got all of them. We've got the drafts. We've got a waiting approval. We've got the awaiting payments. These are the bills that we have entered that have actually entered a transaction into the system which are of course awaiting payment at this point in time and we could select one or multiple of the bills print them. We can add a planned date plan date and then we can make a payment for them which will do in a bit as we do so it'll move over to the paid area. We can also track the bills by contact of course if I go into suppliers let's say the contacts for the people that we owe money to we owe money to Verizon at the three sixty. Now one more note note that like if you're using bank feeds and you're tracking this information and then say you make an electronic payment or something it might be possible to see it clear the bank and then match the bank feed up to the bill which will take it out but often times if you're tracking the bill you're going to be then making the payments and really timing when you're going to be making the payments in which case you're going to make the payment from the bill and then tie that out to the bank feeds which will be part of your bank reconciliation process. Okay let's make another bill another bill another bill and this is going to go to spectrum spectrum. That's going to be our internet service we don't have them yet so we're going to set up a new contact for spectrum. This is going to be on two twenty eight Feb twenty eight Feb twenty eight Feb twenty eight due date. I'll just let it populate itself and then we're we're not having an item because we're not purchasing inventory so it's going to go into spectrum. All right so I'm going to look for an account to see it well let's say the amount let's say the amount first is going to be one one eighty and then I'm going to say a one eighty that's almost as good as a three sixty so well it's half as good when you do the one eighty on the skateboard but any case we're looking to see if there's an account that matches this is a new account we haven't dealt with spectrum before and that's where we pay our internet so did they give us an account that would be good for that we could put it under utilities but I like to break out the internet separately or I could make it a sub account of utilities possibly if I wanted to do that doing that within the formatting of the income statement and zero super cool flexible way of doing that but I want to make another account I'm just going to call it internet expense and I want to put it like maybe close to the telephone so maybe seven six four five let's make one seven six four five code seven six four five seven six is that right I thought they were in the six hundreds let me check it one more time I feel like I dislexified it I feel like the telephone is six seven four five yes you dislexified it six seven four five six seven four five and then this is going to go into the expense category and we're going to call this internet internet which kind of I get mixed up with interest sometimes so I kind of I wish I might come up with a different name but it will keep that internet expense maybe I should say computer slash internet or something so I don't confuse myself but whatever this is going to increase the bill of 180 the other side is going to then go to the internet expense and the sub ledger for spectrum will be increased let's approve it and let's do it over here going to the balance sheet and then we'll update that one and check out the A to the P the accounts to the payable A to the PPP and scrolling down so there we have the 180 it's what I did on my skateboard just a second ago while I was going fast too I was going like 60 miles an hour I did a 180 and just kept going backwards goofy foot to regular to goofy I don't know what anyways down here we've got the internet expense at the 180 and then in the age payable we see that we have the 180 in the spectrum adding up to the 3900 which ties out to what's on the balance sheet in the A to the P 3900 if I go to the first tab and we check out our bills business bills sorting out the bills and we can see that we have the sorting of the bills awaiting payment here we are awaiting the payment all right it's going to have to await a little longer though because we're going to enter another one so let's go let's go to the plus button up top and let's enter another bill this one going to Edison we've dealt with Edison before we've dealt with Edison and they have the power company you have to pay them or they'll electrocute you so we're going to say Feb 28 and they turn off the power and then if you still don't pay them then they come electrocute you so now they don't do that really but any case we're going to say this is going to be one and six forty eight and this one we can decide do I want a separate breakout for my electric bill or do I want to put it into utilities we've decided putting it into utilities is the way to go this is going to increase the bill the other side is going to go to the accounts payable I mean sorry okay this is going to increase the accounts payable because it's a bill other side going to utilities expense and the sub ledger for the vendor of the Edison will be populated all right so let's record it and check it out approve I approve of this bill tab to the right and then we'll update it and scroll on down scroll and down and we're going into the accounts payable and looking at what has been entered in so there's the six forty eight Edison bill back on the income statement tab to the right income statement we now have the bill that has been entered there what was it that was the utilities that has been entered and if I go to the tab to the right we can then update our accounts payable sub ledger Edison we owe them money now so the total by vendor comes out to the four five four eight which ties out to what's on the balance sheet on the payable four five four eight so now if I go to the tab to the left we can decide which of these bills we want to pay so if I hit the drop down we can sort these bills by going to the bill pay which would be our normal process if we're working in the accounts payable department for example and notice how like I have this drop down because I'm zoomed in if I zoom out a little bit that that shows me my format this way so that's the difference of when you zoom in and out the screen changes and what not to try to deal with how zoomed in or out you are in to optimize the stuff on it so if I go in here we can choose you know which ones that we want to pay we can also look at these bills by contact as we saw when we entered that first bill but typically when you're figuring out which bills you want to pay you'd be going into here you would think right and sorting your bills by the date and the due date determining which ones you have to pay to try to pay them as late as possible well at the same time not angering the vendor that you're trying to do business with so that they turn off your electricity and then come electrocute you so we're going to choose that let's just pick that we have to pay spectrum and Verizon we're not even paying Edison because we didn't like the way they threatened us by electrocution so we're not I don't that's I don't I don't succumb to that kind of intimidation but we'll pay them probably tomorrow actually but we'll wait a day on it so then we're going to say then we can make a payment let's go ahead and make a payment and we're going to pay a batch payment we're going to pay by check which is a decrease to the checking account type of form right so we're going to select that item the two have been checked off here check number let's check out the check number now if you're making electronic payments then you don't you're not going to have a check number right if you're paying by check you can you still have the physical checks that would be printed and the check numbers would line up to the physical checks here I'm going to put in a check number because we're going to be doing bank reconciliation in a future course or section and I have check numbers on those so I'm going to try to populate the check number even though I've missed a couple in the past if you don't want to put that number in that's okay and so we're going to say there it is what's this going to do it's going to basically create check or money out type forms for these two payments decreasing the checking account the other side not going to the telephone or the internet expense because we already hit those instead decreasing the accounts payable so this is a special kind of check in that it's always going to be decreasing the accounts payable because that's what we're paying paying off so let's go ahead so we could export checks CSV save and print PDF if we need to print the checks and whatnot but we're just going to save it and record it so there we have it so though so now we still have these two awaiting payment and if I go into the paid items there's the ones that are paid let's check out let's go to the balance sheet now and see kpasso what happened that is checking account is going to go down so if I go into the checking account the checking accounts going down that's down man that's down the checking account going down isn't down that's not good I thought down was good but that's not good because it went down I want the checking account to go up that's that would be down alright alright we have the pay up we have the payable payments here that happened notice that those are different than the spend money forms and that gives you that indication that the other side of a payable payment although it's basically just a spend money form a check type form is going to accounts payable and therefore if you want to drill down on the actual expense that took place you got to go to the bill that was entered because it's going to show you the actual expense account that was hit alright let's go back up and then back to the balance sheet I like the way it recorded that that's down man that's down alright let's go into the accounts payable the A to the P and we can see the normal transactions that happened AP goes up and then it goes back down again that's the normal kind of process we should be able to go in here and kind of tick things off tick tick tick tick they go up they go down boom boom boom with regularity like a clock ticking away so then we're going to go back if I go to the aged payable over here and update it now we have those two items two vendors disappeared because we've paid them we've got the 4008 now tying out to what's on the balance sheet at the 4008 it should be correct and then if I go to the first tab we know if I hit the the drop down for the business and take a look at the bills which were currently in at this time in any case and I look at the awaiting payment we only have these two awaiting payment that we're gonna have to pay soon or Edison will come after you and then in the paid area we've got these two these are the ones that were paid we can also check take a look at these by contact hitting the contact drop down let's just take a look at all the contacts look at all the contacts so then these are the ones that you owe money to in this column so we still owe money to Edison and fender and we paid off some of the other ones like spectrum we paid off let's go into spectrum and just check out the detail here so now we've got the bill that has been paid which we can see populated down below now also just note that like as you enter these into the system you might want to as you add the contacts put the account that you're going to be recording the contacts to and that what that could save you time for data input and make it so you're less likely to hit the wrong account and make multiple accounts so for example in Edison here if I went into the contact and edit the contact and then I go down into the purchase defaults down below and I can then say okay purchase detail and then the purchase account I'm going to say is is utilities right utilities and that way if I save it and close it and then I made another bill in the future plus button and bill and we said this went to Edison Edison then it should one three hundred populate the proper account once we input the numbers in place now notice I'm not going to record this I'm going to say cancel this that if you have bank feeds you can also set up bank feed rules to help you to hit the proper account as well tied out to the vendor which we'll talk about in the future course or section hopefully alright so let's go and take a look at the trustee trial balance tap into the right to do so accounting drop down we want to go into the reports and then type in a trial balance trial balance going into the trustee T to the B trial to the balance and selecting the drop down customize in the date range and change in that range two thousand twenty three update so if your numbers tie out that's great if your numbers were correct last time they were on before but they're off now the accounts that we changed were I believe the checking account the accounts receivable changed and then we had some expense activity on down below some action happened with the utilities and the telephone and the Internet and I thought there was one more that had some action to it utilities telephone Internet maybe that was it I don't know I think that might be it any case if your numbers don't tie up maybe it's a date issue you can increase the date range you can drill down on the documents going on the forms on the numbers going into the actual data input forms and make any changes you need at that time


Now, in this iron sources, if you see, what are the, when you design, what are the things you look for? One is that, what kind of species can make negative ions and what kind, kind of intensity it can give, not all the species or not all the elements make negative ions. What kind of negative ions can be made by that iron source that will, and the beam quality. When we talk about, we talk of brightness as well as emittance and emittance is a most important parameter and in a layman language, you can say the emittance is nothing but similar to divergence. So if the, if the divergence of beam is large, then of course that emittance is similar to that, but it is in the phase space. And therefore, the emittance should be, like divergence should be small, emittance also should be small. Now, this is when we are talking of one dimensional or two dimensional trajectories, then we talk of divergence, when we, and when we are talking of phase space, six-dimensional phase, then we talk of magnetesis. This I have discussed in one of the lectures in great detail. Then of course, when ions are made out of any gas or material or element, what is the energization efficiency, reliability, material utilization efficiency is equally important because there are some cases where very small quantity in sometimes even the less than milligram of sample is available and you have to use it for pretty long time for, and therefore the efficiency, material utilization efficiency of the ion source should be as much as possible. Then of course, the, from the point of your operation and it should be easy to do that. So, we can do duty cycle, whether a particular ion source, we can run it for 100 percent time, duty cycle is 100 percent or it has to be passed, so that also is one of the characteristics and offered the source, source lifetime. So, these are some of the characteristics which define whether the ion source is good or an improvement is required. There are different kind of mechanisms which are responsible for, for example, for negative ions for mission which is very important. In fact, lot of R and D is being done on these negative ion sources today and you can see that one is radiative capture where any element, neutral element acts, picks up electron and makes a negative ion and emits a radiation H nu and it emits radiation or momentum transfer of third body. So, this is one type of ion source is process which is involved in it. So, this X prior, X negative that means initially it is formed in excited state and it will be emitting radiation here. Then polar dissociation, so I am, you can see that there are different processes which are able to make this negative ions and of course the cross sections of, cross section of each process will be different. Some of them will be very low that means in that case you can get intensities very small. In other case that may be very high, so you will get, you will be able to get, but normally negative ion yield is very small. So, you can see that it is a dissociative attachment or charge exchange. Now as I mentioned that alpha cross is based on this. So, initially you make positive ions and then pass through a electronegative gas, material of gas or vapours and then the, then it will pick up electrons. So, that is, so first is sputtering is done and then the electrons are picked up, you can see here. Surface ionization is another one. Now, you will see that Snick's ion source is very popular not only for research point of view, but of course from the point of view of applications. Because it can generate negative ions which are accelerated by protons and which are very useful for AMS, etc. Now in this case you can see that there is an ionizer here and the cesium is, cesium is deposited here from, what you do is that cesium is put here, which you heat it and that cesium goes and gets deposited at various places. For example, at ionizer and cathode. So, cesium is deposited at the surface and when the, when the, this is heated, then the cesium plus ions will be emitted out of it and they will, they will heat the sample here, which is a cathode and then by sputtering, the negative ions will be, so sputtering basically is of the neutral atom or male positive and those ones will pick up electrons from the cesium, which is coming here. And this cesium is very, as a good donor of electrons because this outermost orbit of the cesium has only one electron and the work function or the ionization energy of that electron is very small. So, electron can easily get attached with those either positive or the neutral ions which are coming out of this cathode. So, for example, suppose I want to have let's say carbon negative ions, so I put a carbon sample here, hit with the cesium and carbon will come out and it will pick up electrons from cesium vapors and cesium beams or the vapors and then it can form negative ions and which by proper voltage on the extractor you can extract. So, this is a very, very important and very, very famous ion source which is used is being manufactured, developed and manufactured by National Electrostatic Corporation and USA, which sells the peloton accelerators and the details can be found here. Now, there is another source called alfaterose, is equally important and why I am showing is that, see for example, in the case of palatron or tandem accelerator, we need negative ions to be injected. Now, you know that helium does not make negative ions in the ground state and there are a lot of experiments have to be done with the alpha particle beams, so how to generate that? So, this is a source which does that, what it does is it creates, first it creates the helium plus beam which is coming from here and then there is a, either cesium or rubidium vapors are put into here, either cesium or the rubidium here in the path of this H plus beam and they pick up electrons from there and then they are extracted. So, it is a charged H still, positive helium picks up electrons and then becomes negative ions. So, this is a boob to the low energy nuclear physics or nuclear physics people or even atomic physics people who want to use H E minus beam or H E plus also in palatron because H E plus means this H E negative, that means helium negative beam will be first accelerated in the first part of the palatron. Then in the stripper it will be, electrons will be stripped again and it will be again H E plus or it could be H E plus plus and it will be further accelerated. So, both beams will be available, low energy beams of this and high energy beams of this. Of course, in the palatron you can get only H E plus but these beams also will be available if it is suppose you have a single stage kind of accelerator then it will be possible to get this beam. So, this is very interesting. So, this is what is involved in it. So, it is a charge exchange and NEC again has developed this ion source for the experiments or with the alpha beams. This is very popular for low energy experiments and the process is again listed here that H E plus you can create from either duoblastometron or any, there are several ion sources which can create positive ion and then either you put in the, this will interact with either rubidium or cesium and then the H E minus beam or H E, even the other, this process is again used for even the proton beams for making the negative ion beams and even heavier beams, there is no problem. So, this is one, there is another source which is very popular and it is used not only at low energy but also at high energy accelerators and that is duoblastometron. See most of the gases, ions, positive ions or even negative ions, they are made by making the plasma and then you extract from this and I, plasma is always neutral that means it will contain not only positive ions but electrons but also some negative ions so you can extract negative ions from that. Now, prior to duoblastometron which was called plasmatron is single plasma was formed in single plasmatron ion sources, intermediate electrode and magnets were not there and hence the plasma density was low and low currents of the ions were extracted. In duoblastometron sources, intermediate electrode and magnets were put. So, what is done is that you feed the gas and then there is a filament here which emits electrons and the electron interacts with the gas and makes it a plasma here and plasma will have, let's say it is a hydrogen gas then plasma will have H plus, H minus and electrons also. So, but what happens in the first plasma, the density of the plasma is low so therefore the number of these particles, these ions, their density is low so what you can do is that if you put intermediate electrode and then you have anode like this so that is the structure of the duoblastometron so you have two plasmas here. In second plasma, the density of these ions is much higher and therefore you can get higher currents from this second one instead of so this plasma was not there when in the case of plasma cone. Now this you can display, so what actually you are doing by doing this is you put one magnet also here. So, what you are doing here is you are increasing the number of collisions to make it so if the number of collisions are increased then positive ions also will be increased density and even some negative ion number also will increase so you can see here that both in second plasma density of the plasma is high and there is one more advantage by putting this magnet. One is that it is increasing the number of collisions and secondly it is happening that magnetic field for example if you take the motion of the ions will depend on the magnetic field so for a particular magnetic field you will find that since the positive ions are slightly lighter than the negative ions so two electrons are added to this so you will find the structure of this plasma it is like this that at the center you have density of positive ions which is much higher and at the periphery there will be a ring sort of thing where there will be negative ions density also will be there of course as I said that as compared to positive ions the current of the probability of negative ions is only 1 to 2 percent only so this current will be very small this negative ion current will be very small but this itself you can see so what you can do is when you are extracting here if the axis of this axis of this was matched to the extractor here then you will see that you are basically extracting the beam from here so you will extract more of a positive ions now suppose you shift that axis of this extractor in such a way that this axis is facing this ring then you will find that more negative ions will be available and therefore the negative ions in current will be enhanced by shifting the y of axis extraction of the beam so this is what is basically is a dioplasma electron source so you introduce one intermediate electrode and also a magnet this I think I have discussed earlier also but just to remind you and repeat it because it is an important thing is that helium is an inert gas and it has two electrons in the outermost orbits so in fact if you see various ions positive, neutral and negative in principle if you go by the rules then the configuration should be that here it is now since the helium has two electrons so one is removed here so it is helium plus so it should remain in one axis while neutral is 1s2 and 1s can have only two so it is a neutral while if you want to make negative ions then there will be you have to add one extra Newton so then the question is whether this one extra electron will sit in 2s or it will be somewhere else this is the question and if it sits in this then negative H e negative will be forming one ground state but it does not happen it should be this but it is not the bound actually the calculations as well as measurements show that it is not a bound state here in fact on the other hand they found that this H e negative is formed in this case at 1s2s2p is metastable state it is a metastable state which has a lifetime of about 360 microsecond with the binding of the binding energy of 77 milli electron volt so that means if you want the alpha beam you form helium negative ions which will have lifetime of about 359 microsecond and you inject and accelerate it because if your beam takes much longer time more than this then this electron will detach and therefore before this time it should reach the high voltage terminal and it should get stripped off after acceleration so that is what is but this is a huge time in the 360 microsecond this beam can pass through the entire accelerator so I would like to give the summary of this lecture this is as follows so in this lecture we have discussed different types of ion sources mainly snicks, alpha-tross and deoplasmotron ion sources deoplasmotron ion sources can produce both positive and negative ions although helium is an inert gas it forms negative ion in metastable state with lifetime of 359 microseconds and binding energy of 77 milli electron volts nitrogen 14 does not form negative ion and thus is responsible for high sensitivity for carbon 14 to carbon 12 ratio measurements for AMS studies thank you


tired of the everyday grind ever dream of a life of romantic adventure want to get away from it all we offer you escape escape design to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure you are in a farmhouse on the southern coast of England the autumn countryside around you desolate and bleak and you know that in the dusk outside waiting patiently for you silently watching for you is an enemy from whom there may be no escape listen now as escape brings you Daphne de Marier story the birds on December the third the wind changed overnight and it was winter until then the autumn had been mellow soft the earth was rich where the plow had turned it I didn't do the plowing no my wartime disability had seemed to that they gave me mostly the lighter repair jobs to do in the three days a week that I worked at the farm a bank to build up for a gate to mend at the far end of the peninsula where the seas surrounded the farmland on either side Deborah I had taken a cottage up here to try again for the sake of the children and it seemed to be working fairly well I enjoyed my work on the farm it was pleasant to pause at midday to eat the lunch that Debbie prepared and brought to me we'd sit there on the cliff while I ate and we'd watch the birds many of them that yes well the autumn is better than spring for watching them oh my oh well in the spring they're content they're full of purpose they know where they're going there's no delay but then in autumn it's different the birds that don't my great seem to follow a pattern of their own pattern great fluxes and here on the peninsula restless uneasy wheeling circling coming to rest and flying again the lamb birds and the girls down there in the bay strange sort of rhythm in their movements they don't really go anywhere doesn't seem to be any purpose to it no well if there is we don't see it restlessness and they're more restless this year than usual it seems to me you know this morning two girls flew so close they knocked off my cap just like yesterday when the school bus later off there was quite a few of them overhead as if they'd been following oh well I suppose it means a hard winter they always seem to know perhaps a message comes to them in autumn a warning about winter and about death many of them will die and I think they know it perhaps they feel they have to spill their motion out before they die like people who know their time is up and run about stupidly driving themselves I wish you wouldn't talk like that Nat that that black side of you that stayed up the trouble between us before I'm sorry Debbie but it's come over me lately as I've watched them the land birds mingling with the sea birds in a sort of strange unnatural partnership land and see life and death that night it turned colder at the wind strengthened around two in the morning the sound of it beating against the house woke me up I lay there with this slow even breathing of Debbie beside me and I thought of Jill and Johnny in the room across the hall we seemed safe secure and then I heard it a tatting on the window first I thought it was a loose shutter and then I realized it wasn't I got out of bed and to the window open but something brushed against my hand and jet my knuckles and it was gone over the roof and the cottage it's all right Debbie it was a bird I don't know what kind bird hmm wind must have driven it against the window so my hands wet it's blood a little blood must have been frightened and stabbed at me in the dark well for the window see to it it's rattling I've already seen to it it's some bird trying to get in send them away I can't sleep with that noise all right all right off with you that's why you live up stay away from my face get out get away did you see that half a dozen this time they went for me tried to peck my eyes I'm not making it up to me but it's Jill go see what's the matter right coming Jill where's Johnny quick get the children out of here the door quick I pushed them out of the room and now I was alone with the seems to blanket my use as a weapon sweeping it right left I could hear the bodies but they kept coming at me they're jumping my hands my head trying for my eyes with beaks as sharp as pointed forks night wrap the blanket around my head beat up out with my bare hands blindly I don't know how long I fought them finally beating of wings lessened and then I still unwrapped the blanket from my face the cold gray dawn had seeped into the room the floor was littered with the tiny corpses the birds robins finches sparrows larks some had lost feathers in the fight the others had blood my blood on their beaks second I went to the window the fierce sea broke harshly in the day but there was not a bird in sight not a sparrow chattered in the hedge no early thrush or blackbird pecked on the grass for worms there was no sound at all but the east wind and the sea mad I'm all right Debbie I didn't know but some of it's the best look on the floor so many of them here 50 I counted them come on I'll clean the room later when I have more stomach for it the children all right yes I put gel to work making tea Johnny's in our bed just now asleep not why the birds well it must be the weather the sudden change confuse them it has to be that the cheese ready mommy oh good did you drive away the birds yes they're all gone now do you hope they won't come again perhaps if we put breadcrumbs for them outside the window they leave that and fly away I've already had breakfast I better hurry I'll be late for the school bus bus oh I'll walk with you to the road yes I think that'd be a good idea I'll go get my coat and look I didn't want to walk alone that they they wouldn't come back again I'll go over to the farm and find out if they heard anything during the night they keep all the windows and doors closed they'll be just to be on the safe side with the mystery around mrs. Trigg can you tell me where this cold is coming from Russia I've never seen such a change and it's going on the wireless says something to do with the Arctic Circle are we didn't turn on the wireless this morning and back tears we had trouble in the night all kiddies poorly no not exactly no we we had some trouble with birds I why it sounds absurd but they flew in the window and attacked us attach now mr. I'm not making it up mrs. Trigg there are 50 dead birds on the floor of the children's bedroom foreign birds no no the kind you see about here every day really well you ought to write up and ask the Manchester Guardian they never not the third it morning Hawkins mr. Hawkins been telling about some birds last night they he says the attack you sure quite heard of a thing like that before hungry maybe looking for food you put out some crumbs yes course I'll be up tomorrow as usual good morning ordinary birds intact him now what does he take us for coming around with a story like that strange one he is with those superior airs you see the look he gave us when we didn't swallow his story attacked him I think he reads too many of those books that did you find out anything at the farm no the Triggs brilliant advice was to put out some crumbs Debbie I looked all around this morning there's not a single bird in sight outdoors quick they've gone I don't know Triggs had no trouble last night not only that they clearly thought I was imagining it oh I heard trig mutter something about my superior airs and reading too many books as I walked away nothing's real to those clubs until it hits them over the head well nice enough people net just that they're isolated up here but that's certainly the polite word for it I haven't been able to face going to the children's room the birds oh yes I'll go and clean it up I suppose the least I can do is give the little beggars a decent burial I dropped the dead birds into a sack went down to the beach to bury them the wind was bitter cold I dug a pit in the sand with my heel and started to empty the sack into it but the wind caught the birds and whirled them along the shore there was something ugly in the site that the tide would take them when it turned I looked out at the crested breakers and I saw them but gulls out there riding the seas thousands tens of thousands they rose and fell in the trough of the sea like a mighty fleet at anchor waiting for the turn of the tide waiting they stretched as far as my eye could reach they covered the sea I started up the steep pile poem almost running someone should know what this someone should be told but who and then as I opened the front door I saw a daddy decide the wildest list and he's thought that the Arctic air stream is causing the birds to migrate south in immense numbers and that intense hunger may drive them to attack human beings our soldiers are warned to see to their windows doors and chimneys and to take all precautions for the safety of their children further bulletins will be issued later they've been repeating it every few minutes since you left well perhaps now those empty-headed idiots at the farm will know that you sound almost glad don't talk rock Debbie it's just that when people with half a brain try to tell me forget that superior attitude of yours even now don't choose that word superior to me I'm sick of it so I'm I'm sorry deep things made me a little nervy I guess yes I I'm sorry too much Nat one of the bulletin said the birds seem to be waiting for what I don't know they said the birds are hungry you know the hammer again to get some boards and see to the doors and windows as they tell you to think they could break in with the windows shut the sparrows and robins and how could they I wasn't thinking about the smaller birds I was thinking about the gulls have you ever been close enough to get a good look at a gulls beak there must be a hundred thousand of them out there riding the sea waiting the rest of the morning I worked upstairs boarding the bedroom windows and I wondered whether they'd take these precautions up at the farm I doubted it it might have been a big joke to the Triggs but according to the wireless it was no joke at first some of the bulletins had been light in turn but as the morning wore on the concern in the announcers voice became more and more apparent after I finished upstairs I took the rest of the lumber down boarded up the lower floor windows what they ought to do is call the army out and shoot the birds that would soon scare them off baby how are we off for food now that whatever next I never mind what have you got in the lard shopping day tomorrow you know that I don't keep uncooked food hanging about it goes off but I can put some things in tomorrow tomorrow it's only three in the afternoon and it's almost dark I guess this guy looks so heavy Matt what's the matter you've gone quite wide look the tides turned the gulls they've risen circling over the sea not a sound from I'm going for Jill I'll wait for at the bus stop you keep Johnny inside and keep the door shut outside I looked for a weapon that a hole was all I could find and I went to the top of the hill and waited surf was booming below and a smudge rose behind the clay hills in the distance it widened divided and spread north east south west it was a vast cloud of birds passed close by heading inland upcountry they had no business with the people here on the peninsula rocks crows jackdaws magpies birds that usually preyed upon the smaller species but this afternoon they were bound on some other mission they've been given the towns I thought they know what they have to do we don't matter so much here the gulls will serve for us the others go to the towns the final of the bus came when Jill got up I took it by the hand oh I just bought it along come along now darling let's go home it's cold no hanging about I want to play a bit in the rain not tonight now come on no dawdling look over there look at the girls they're flying in from the sea it's so quiet yes sir do hurry darling where are they flying to oh upcountry I dare say well where it's warmer don't go so fast I can't keep up hurry circling it looks like they're waiting for something for a signal in order nothing come on there faster wait wait there's trig in his two-seater so we're in for some fun hocking have you heard the news everyone's gone bird crazy talking of nothing else I'm going to take a crack at them with my gun could you run Jill home first oh yes of course not room for you too I'm afraid that's all I just get Jill home get in Jill dear you like to come shooting with me no thanks have you boarded your windows no a lot of nonsense they like to scare you on the wireless I'd board them if I were you oh go on you're windy well see you in the morning give you a girl breakfast I watched trig drive Jill toward the cottage and then I followed on foot the sounds made me look up the girls were approaching the order had been given and the farm was their target the black backed gulls were leading and they were bigger birds gannets turns and suddenly one of them throw that missed rose to drive again and then came the other six seven dozen I dropped the hoe covered my head with my arms and ran towards the cottage they kept coming after from the air with beating wings each stab of a swooping dick to all my flesh I had to keep them from my eyes through each dive it became colder and they had no thought for themselves when they missed they crashed bruised and broken on the ground and as I ran I stopped kicking the spent bodies in front of me another aim got better closer to my eyes closer and then I reached the door of the cottage let me in let me in and then above me I saw the gannet poised against the sky for his dive the gulls drew back only the huge gannet the wings folded suddenly to its body and it dropped like a stone at me the door opened up I spun myself in what's load what was that a gannet he'd have split my skull better now yes thanks you're quite the wonderous are the children in the other room I didn't want them to see you that way no your hands are the worst I'll be all right we'd better all sleep here in the kitchen tonight I'll bring down the mattresses all right I'll pick something tasty for supper and wasn't prepared wait that sound what is it the birds crowding against the outside of the house they're trying to find a way in that don't they they can't get in I tell you they cannot get in the boards will hold for how long how long stop it here I'll turn on the wireless I'll round them out here that's better yes anything so I can't hear that whole it's only the food that worries me Debbie now I've noticed that the birds come in with the tide but the tide will go out about nine tonight and we should have a lull of about six hours I could slip out during that time and go to the farm see if they can give us something here's London a national emergency was proclaimed at four o'clock this afternoon measures are being taken to safeguard the lives and property of the population but it must be understood that these are not easy to affect immediately due to the unforeseen and unparalleled nature of the present crisis it is absolutely imperative that everyone remain indoors until further notice the birds in vast numbers are attacking everything in sight the population is asked to remain calm and not to panic there will be no further transmission from any broadcasting station until seven a.m. tomorrow it likes this all over then all over ready no matter supper let's let's forget it let's all just try to get some sleep and that back again but what time is it the ties come in again there's been a clear smell the last few minutes rather like burned feathers what burned feathers the chimney I forgot to keep the fire up and coming on the chimney no where's the oil on the shelf get the out of squeezing through the chimney stand back before the oil on the coast never get them get me paper wood anything it'll burn hurry their charred bodies get dropping down the chimney I raked them to one side but more came I threw on the rest of the oil without papers on it kindling anything the flames roared higher more bodies the stench was unbearable I kept at it finally they gave up and I went over to the basin I was sick around nine in the morning the rustling ceased I opened the door a crack crushed birds were deep about the house but there was not a living bird in sight the tide had gone out now was my chance to get food and fuel I ran all the way to the farm there was no smoke from the chimney I came around the corner of the house and stopped in the doorway almost covered with dead birds were mr and mrs trig what was left of them beside him was his gun beside her a broken umbrella I loaded the two-seater with all the food I could find enough for perhaps three days and drove back to the cottage I told Debbie the Triggs didn't need their car for a while and had told me to take it she said nothing and towards nightfall the birds came back again we sat by the fire and listened to the rustle as they crowded against the house but this time there was a new sound they brought up their heavier forces against us the birds with larger beaks I could hear the sound of tiny bits of wood being torn away the states of the tide turn then they leave then they'll come back again they'll keep coming back and that yes the Triggs they're dead aren't they yes they're all alone it's strange get closer to them than I'd ever that it should take something I'd best to bring it Debbie you you may be interested to know that right now I do not feel very superior I don't know Debbie I do not know I listen to the sound of the spindling wood and I wondered how many million years of memory were stored in those little brains behind the stabbing beaks the piercing eyes now giving them this instinct to destroy mankind with all the depth precision of machines I switched on the wireless was dead I reached for the cigarettes there was only one left in the packet I lit it I threw the empty packet on the fire and watched it burn under the direction of Norman Mcdonnell escape has brought you the

What we learn from quantum physics, what we learn from a course in miracles, what we learn from the deep perennial wisdom is that instead of the world being outside of us and coming in through light waves and sound waves and reaching us through our five senses, we actually learn that everything emanates from consciousness. And I was using the example the other day when people have out-of-body experiences or sometimes near-death experiences, they sometimes view the body from above. And I've had a lot of people in my life who said, oh my gosh, I had an out-of-body experience or a near-death experience and so forth, and I could see my body. I was viewing my body, I could hear everything that was happening and so on and so forth. And I say, yeah, and where were you? And they say, I seem to be up in the corner of the room, and did you have any eyeballs up there in the corner of the room? No. And what about ears? No. But I could still see it, like they were watching a movie, but they weren't seeing through the eyes and they weren't hearing through the ears. And what we've discovered now is that everything in this world is backwards and upside down and it's more, if you watch movies like What the Bleep Do We Know and a lot of the movies, you start to see that it's emanating from consciousness and that the ears don't literally take things in, they're more like speakers, they're more like your pioneer speakers out here broadcasting the sights and sounds that you believe in and everything that you believe is possible in terms of sounds is literally coming out in a way as being projected. And then the eyes really are kind of like more like projectors than windows taking light waves in. So the body and the mechanisms of what we would say the world is more part of the projection and it makes a world that seems very real, just like when you're dreaming at night. You don't often question that you're dreaming, sometimes you're not even aware of it. It seems very real, like it's happening to you until the moment when you wake up and you go, okay, I'm glad that was a dream, but it seemed very real while you were dreaming it. It's the same with this world, that while we believe in the world, we seem to experience a world that's outside of ourselves. It's all just thoughts and beliefs projected outward as if we're disowning them. Like it's, oh, it's not me, it's happening to me. This happened today and I feel sad. That happened today and it made me feel hurt, as if the world can hurt us when actually it's all happening in consciousness. So we're really here to start to take a close look at the thoughts and beliefs, the unconscious thoughts and beliefs that we're holding on to in order that we may let them go because the world is an outward picture of an inward condition and as long as we have a split mind, as long as we have a conscious and an unconscious or as long as we have a spirit in this and a sense of an ego, there's a conflict because love and fear do not go together. They do not reside together. Perfect love casts out fear and you can't hold on to love and fear in your mind. But that's what a split mind is all about, is believing you can have two irreconcilable thought systems, love and fear, and hold on to both. And then the world is an attempt to do that, to dissociate that out of mind, keep it unconscious and then see duality all around you in the world. And what we've been focusing on this afternoon is really taking an honest look at the value of the present moment. It's not something that's a casual thing. It's actually a real experience that is you give yourself over to it and you become into the trust of just letting the spirit flow in you through you moment by moment, then you no longer are afraid and you no longer see a fearful world. Because again, the world is an outward picture of an inward condition. And if you come to find the peace in you, you will see a peaceful world. It has to work that way because the world just is a mirror or a reflection of what's in your mind. I know for many decades and centuries there's this idea of world peace. We've had three world wars in history and everyone's trying to, you know, peace movements. We've had all this attempt to bring about world peace. And there was a woman named Peace Pilgrim who was very simple, walked all over the United States. And she basically said one time, if you want to be a bringer of peace, you must be peaceful. There it is again. She was onto it. If you want to actually experience a peaceful world, your consciousness, your awareness, your state of mind must be peaceful to see a peaceful world. It's not a matter of guns. It's not a matter of bombs. It's not a matter of bullets. It's not a matter of so-called natural disasters or finding a safe haven in a fragmented world. It's really a matter of clearing the perception, releasing all egoic thoughts and beliefs, and then seeing a peaceful world. And Jesus was an example. He obviously saw a peaceful world because he was very still, very peaceful, kind, loving, defenseless, even in the face of what seemed to be an angry mob that was putting him up on the cross. You know, he would just say, forgive them for they know not what they do. Almost implying that all these images were not the reality of the kingdom of heaven. They didn't have anything to do with the spiritual kingdom. And he found that spiritual kingdom within. And then he saw a peaceful world and he was not stressed about anything. He was not disturbed. He was showing us that we have a spiritual home, a spiritual reality.  We can we can let them go. And I would say the only way we let them go is in the present moment. You know, even when we have ideas of future enlightenment or accomplishment or attainment, somehow if we work hard enough at it, at some time in the future, the day will arrive where we can go, ah, I have finally made it. That's part of another trick too, is just to keep us in a loop. You know, still fending off the present moment. Still not acknowledging what's what's really available right now. So that's what we want to do is is. I mean, our lives, I guess you could say are extremely simple because of the state of mind of the simplicity that we live in. And that's what we're really here to join with you on is is to be join us, join the truth, join the reality of coming into the present moment and seeing that your whole perception of the world will change as you allow yourself to be fully present. Not to see it as some kind of long process that sometimes it can seem disheartening to think about how long it would take to change your mind so completely to see a different world. When they ask Jesus that in the Course, you know, they say, he says, you may be disheartened or depressed to think how long it will take to so to take change your mind. And he says he comes back with a question, how long is an instant? You know, so that is a light response to what seems to be a very serious question, very, very serious.
