A hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. From Hollywood, the makers of hallmark cards bring you McDonald's carry in Trebles Boys on the Hallmark Playhouse. This week Hallmark brings you Hollywood's greatest stars in outstanding stories and presents as your host one of the most distinguished actors of the American theater, Mr. Lionel Barrymore. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Lionel Barrymore. Tonight on Hallmark Playhouse, we're telling the story of Trebles Boys by Fletcher Pratt. It's a story of the early days of the United States Navy and we felt it particularly fitting since it was 177 years ago tomorrow that the Congress authorized the laying of the keels for the first ships of our Navy. There was a lot of discussion in those days as to the wisdom of this because we had anything but an enviable record on the sea. As a matter of fact, we had a thoroughly miserable record of 35 American warships, only one remained in our hands at the end of the revolution. And John Randolph of Roanoke had this recommendation to offer. We should turn our backs on the sea and abandon any contest with a shark. Well, the only disagreement with his statement came from some of the people in the story you're about to hear. And as our guest tonight, we are happy to welcome to Hallmark Playhouse, McDonald Caring. And now here's Frank Goss from the makers of Hallmark Cards. One of the particular joys of Christmas is sending and receiving Christmas cards. While the pleasure Christmas cards brain can never be measured, isn't it good to know that Hallmark Cards are priced the same this year as they were last year and the year before and the year before that? And that the quality of Hallmark Cards has constantly improved throughout the years. Yes, today, just as for many Christmas seasons, that Hallmark on the back of your card is looked for and welcomed. It tells your friends you cared enough to send the very best. Lionel Barrymore appears by arrangement with Metro Golden Mayor, producers of the Technicolor Musical, Everything I Have is Yours, starring Margin Gower Champion and Dennis O'Keefe. And now here's the first act of Preble's Boys, starring McDonald Caring. 107, Edward Preble came home from sea. His carriage passed through streets that echoed with cheers of welcome on his way to a reception in his honor in the most important house in the land, President's Mansion. He was tired and he was ill, but he never rode more proudly. And what were his thoughts that day? What were his dreams? What were his memories? If young Decatur were only here, opposite me, Bainbridge beside me, Lawrence, Hull, on board ship, keeping watch over our shores and our freedom, at least seems a moment since I was their age, hardly a moment since I warmed my own heart with the same orders and followed a flag to the sea. I can see my father now standing before me, a violent issue widening between us. I can still hear his voice thundering at me. The country is never going to have anyone's respect as a naval power. The first sign of a fight, we run like whipped dogs. The ship points a gun at us and our captains run below decks and only come back up to surrender. I expect in my lifetime to see our country achieve a navy, a navy of brave ships and men of honor and valor. I intended to vote my life to that end. Voked once to see as much in my lifetime. I hope you will see it in yours. And since you're determined to be a part of that navy, I hope you play a proud ... Thank you, Father. I have some papers for you, you'll find them on my desk. Papers? We are pleased to inform you. An appointment as first lieutenant to the Winthrop. I spoke to my old friend George Little. You'll find him a stern taskmaster, but a good friend. Son, I don't have too much faith in this country being able to produce a navy, but on the other hand, this is a country which young men rested from the wilderness against overwhelming odds. Perhaps the young men of that country can earn a place of honor for this country on the sea. As a father, I have talked to you of practicality. Now as a patriot, I speak to you of dreams. I say to you, go fight for what you believe and do everything in your power to make it come to pass. And our shores, establishing the nucleus of a navy and defending it against all who set their guns against it. In the open sea, stormed till one day when I was home on leave, I met a girl. I've heard much of the brave Lieutenant Prepple. I'm honored to make your acquaintance, sir. No ship, no man had come. She held out her hand and I was her captive. I don't want to love you, Edward. I don't want to love you. I don't want to stand on shore watching your sails disappear into the distance, meeting with death inside me until I see those sails again. I want a man who belongs to the land, who'll build a home and tend to heart fire and live there beside me. I told her I'd give up the sea, live wherever she willed. I was young and in love for the first time. I'd served my time at sea, now I belong to the land. Remember her smile as I told her that. Edward, darling, the first morning a wind blew from the sea, you'd feel shackled by the land in a woman. You're to see President Adams in the morning. See what he has to say to you before you make any rise statement. Mr. President? Good morning, Mr. Prepple. A little since we last met. It becomes you. Thank you, sir.  We're engaged in a desperate struggle for survival. We can't exist as a nation if our ships are going to be captured, our sailors taken and pressed into foreign service, our cargo's confiscated, our destinies and the hands of our navy right now. And when I look at the record of men like you, I believe it is safe there. Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. Prepple, in December the revenue cut of the pickering will be in port. She has 14 guns and a crew of 70. I'd like to make you her skipper with the title of Lieutenant Commandant. Will you accept the appointment? I accept, sir.  When do you set sail, Edward? December. We must make plans. There's a lot to be done if we're to have a wedding before December. You mean, very a seafaring man? My dear, I fell in love with a seafaring man. What else am I to do? Discipline. And that was something they weren't used to. I remember a night off the shores of Morocco. The moors had taken a ship of ours and I'd issued orders not to capture or rather to capture any ships of theirs afloat and had set sail for Morocco immediately. On the way, we captured one of their ships and took it just outside the harbor where we were joined by two other frigates of the American squadron. I stood on deck, planning how to handle the emperor of Morocco when young Stephen Decatur came up to me. Sir, may I ask if it's true that you intend to land and talk to the emperor tomorrow? I do. May I express an opinion, sir? What is it? The moors would consider you quite a prize, sir. Yes, I flattered myself they wouldn't. Then do you think it's wise to go among them and it'd be very easy for them to capture you? I, uh, this sudden concern for my safety, Decatur, you and the rest of the boys have little affection for me and why should you have when it comes right down to it? I've not been easy on you. Affection is one thing. Respect is another. I... that it is. The men are all worried about you going to shore, sir. Well, tell the men to worry about how they do their own jobs. I'll worry about mine. Yes, sir. Don't you see, boy, we can't cringe before these fellows? They've taken a ship of ours, captured a crew because they think they can get away with it. Well, they're not going to get away with it.  The only thing to do is plow right in and grab the devil by the horns. And that's exactly what I'm going to do with the emperor of Morocco. Out of Trebles Boys, starring MacDonald Carey. By Christmas cards, the convenient thrifty way in boxed assortments, here's something good to know. The brand new collections of hallmark cards in boxes have arrived at your favorite store. One glance will convince you that this year's group is the best ever. Colors are fresh and bright. Designs are new and unusual. And the quality meets the fine standards of all hallmark cards. For instance, you can find paintings by Grandma Moses, Norman Rockwell, Winston Churchill, and other famous artists. Charming Prince by Courier and Ives. Greetings with Verses by Edgar Guest or James Metcalf, two of America's best-loved poets. And the host of traditional Yule Time themes from jolly Santas to winter snow scenes. What's more, hallmark Christmas cards in boxes are so reasonable that your card allowance will stretch way beyond your expectations. You can choose assortments for as little as $1. Some even at 59 cents a box. And here's a tip, an extra box of hallmark cards will come in mighty handy for last-minute remembrances. And always, the hallmark on the back of each card you mail will tell your friends you cared enough to send the very best. Now back to Lionel Barrymore and the second act of Trebles Boys starring McDonald-Carrie. And there's Edward Trebles who holds between the crowds of the gathered in his honor, his eyes dimmed with tears. His mind raced back across the years gathering. Memories and faces swam before him. Marco, how many years has it since I walked alone into his palace? How many years since I gazed into those sharp, beady eyes, listened to that cool, slightly mocking voice? Well, Commodore Trebles, I must say you astound me, sir. I certainly never expected to entertain you in my palace. Your men have captured a ship of ours. You hold her crew imprisoned at Mogador and I want that ship back and the crew released. Well, now that might be arranged in exchange for a small payment of certain tributes.  I'm here to demand the release of our men. You are here to demand. You are amazing, Commodore. You are here in my palace. My men surround you. You are alone, unarmed. What makes you think you are in a position to demand anything? May I respectfully suggest that Your Majesty look out there in the harbor? You see my squadron, of course. And if you look closely, you will see that her guns are manned and aimed directly at us. At you, as well as at me? Nevertheless, my crew has orders to fire. If I do not return in an hour and to keep firing until your city is in ruins. Now, if you look again, just beyond my ships, you may see another ship, a Moorish ship. No, no, no, no. Not there, a little more to the left. You have captured a Moorish ship. An excellent ship and a good crew. Now, I am prepared to trade that ship and crew. Simply amazing. You are my prisoner and you dare to offer terms to me. You may consider me your prisoner if you like, but you consider my person worth your city? Frankly, no. So, what's it to be? Do we reach an amicable agreement or do we compose ourselves and wait for my ships to start firing?  You have sailed your ships into my harbor, come alone and unarmed into the jaws of the tiger himself, and I am a tiger, make no mistake about that. Your ship will be returned ours, of course. You know, it is rather a pleasure to meet an adversary that one can respect, particularly an American. You'd better take us as friends, Your Majesty, because from now on, you're going to find us dangerous as enemies. That's the United States Navy at anchor in your harbor, Your Majesty. The beginning, I believe, of the greatest navy the world will ever know. Busy days for us and for my boys, my boys. Decatur, Tripoli, bridge in the Mediterranean, James Lawrence in the South Atlantic, wherever they sailed, their deeds were proud, accomplished, shining, hard won, but won. Trouble in Tunis, and I was kept hard at work trying to keep the situation under control, handled my ship, supervised the movements of my squadron, and supervised, too, the whole diplomatic business of the Mediterranean. I was ill, and my illness was growing more and more disturbing. The ship's doctor did his best to keep me in shape, but he was working against overwhelming odds. See here, sir, the place for you was at home. How many times do I have to tell you that? I don't know why you doctors always put on such long faces over everything. I've had these pains for years. Not this bad, you haven't. Well, I'm not as young as I once was, but then who is? You're not as young as you used to be either, you know. When are you going home? When I can, when I can. I'm afraid that won't do. You're pretty fond of your wife, aren't you? Of course I'm fond of Margaret. What's Margaret got to do with this? You'd like to see her again, wouldn't you? See her again? Don't you? That's serious. I'm afraid it is. Now, will you write to the president, or will I? All right, all right. But I've got to wind up this business with Tripoli first. Keep up the bombardment. See that the guns are going constantly. Captain Baron. You've done a magnificent job here. Deem it an honor to follow in your footsteps. Thank you, sir. I leave you the finest group of fighting men in the world today. Before you on this deck where we've all fought together so many times, are your comrades in arms. You've been a stern taskmaster, but now looking back, we all see that the sternness and discipline stood us in good stead in time of battle. You've taught us the importance of a navy. You've shown us the conduct that must be expected from the members of that navy. And by your actions, you set standards for us and for all men who follow us to sea. I have here a scroll signed by every surviving member of your boys. We, the undersigned officers of the squadron, late under your command, cannot in justice suffer you to the part without giving you some small testimony of the very high esteem in which we hold you as an officer and a command. The mansion pulled up to the door and stopped. And the president of the United States came forward to take his arm and usher him in. President Thomas Jefferson. Commodore Prepo, the entire nation joins me in honoring you today. You and your men have wiped out our navy's previous record of cowardice, disgrace, and incompetence. You have, by precept and victory, laid the foundation for what I am confident will be one of the greatest navies of all history. Mr. President, to know the caliber of the men who guard democracy on the seas. I tell you, they are all that a nation could hope for in their sons and all that a people must honor. Their deeds are eloquent testimony of their valour. Their deeds, in time, will set the heavens ringing with their names. No man could think more of his own sons than I do of each of them. I'm proud to have served with them and honored, indeed, when I hear them referred to as troubles. Impression that Christmas cards with your name imprinted are expensive. Here's good news. You can order 25 handsome hallmark cards complete with your name for as little as $1.95. Today I looked over the new series of these personalized cards, and I can tell you the selection is really worth seeing. You'll find styles for yourself, for Mr. and Mrs. and for the children who ought to send cards of their own. Distinctive designs by hallmark orders that your friends will be proud to display all season long. You can choose from humorous themes, old time Yule Day scenes, or cards that send wishes from our house to your house in the best tradition of Christmas. So why wait to order yours? You'll be smart to make your selections tomorrow at any of the fine stores where hallmark cards are sold. And when your Christmas cards have the hallmark on the back, your friends will know instantly you cared enough to send the very best. Here again is Lionel Barrymore. Thank you, MacDonald Carey, for a very fine performance on our hallmark playhouse tonight. You know, all men in the Navy can be justly proud of the heritage they've received from those heroes and Prebles boys. They certainly can, Lionel, and I'm sure they are. Of course, I don't know what they'll think if you're asking a former marine to play the part of the Commodore, but speaking for myself, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was a great honor. Now, that's what we like to hear, Mac. Complete cooperation between all branches of the armed forces. You know, that reminds me, it's getting near the time to mail your Christmas packages to the men and women of the armed forces who are overseas. It's mighty important that they get their Christmas mail in plenty of time for Christmas. It certainly is. I know there's nothing like mail from home when you're overseas. Hallmark folks even make special cards to send to people in the armed services, don't you? Oh, we certainly do, Mac. Yeah. You'll find Christmas cards and cards for other occasions like birthdays made especially to send the men and women in the service. I think that's a fine idea, Lionel. It makes a card mean a lot more, too. Now, I understand you've got something rather special on Hallmark Playhouse next week. Well, I think so, because that's the Sunday before Election Day, and a pretty good time, I think, to tell the life story of a truly great American, Daniel Webster. I certainly agree, but I think it's also rather special for your Hallmark Playhouse friends to know that you're going to play Mr. Webster. I am looking forward to it very much. As a matter of fact, I hope you'll be able to listen. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Well, thanks again, Lionel, and good night. Good night, Mac, good night, good night. Our Hallmark Playhouse is every Sunday. Our producer director is William Gay. Our music is composed and conducted by David Rose. And our story tonight was adapted by Gene Holloway. Until next Sunday then, this is Lionel Barrymore saying, good night. That are sole only in stores that have been carefully selected to give you expert and friendly service. Remember a Hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. MacDonald Carey may soon be seen in the 20th Century Fox production, My Wife's Best Friend. The role of Margaret was played by Barbara Eiler. Others now cast included Herb Butterfield as the father, Joseph Kearns as Adams, Eddie Firestone as Decatur, Hans Conreed as the emperor, and Ted D'Corsia as Jefferson. Every Sunday, Hallmark cards present two great programs for the whole family's enjoyment. On radio, the Hallmark Playhouse with host Lionel Barrymore. And on television, outstanding dramatic entertainment on the Hallmark Television Theater. Consult your paper for time and station. Remember the greatest privilege of a free people is the right to vote. Be sure yours is one of the votes that's counted on November 4th. This is Frank Goss saying good night to you all until next week at the same time when Hallmark Playhouse returns to present Lionel Barrymore in the story of Daniel Webster. And the week after that, Herman Peterson's The Covered Bridge starring Anne Baxter. And the week after that, Delamée Portridge's Thundershowers on the Hallmark Playhouse. This is the CBS Radio Network. This is KMBC, Kansas City, Missouri.


No, I will explain why, okay, this model is very good for analytical, to study it analytically. It's very bad for really doing numerical simulation really with this model, why? It's very difficult and computer expensive to generate fields which are isotropic in high dimensions. In two dimensions it's not a problem, in three it's also not, but in high dimension generically there is no good algorithm. It's extremely almost prohibitively difficult to generate homogeneous and isotropic random fields. Therefore literally for this model it's not good for simulations, but if I have time, which I'm not sure, in the end I will indicate that some other models probably belong to the same universality class and they can be simulated and then one can study. Sorry, you mean N is not entering here? What is your question? You mean N of this parameter? No, I don't think so. It depends on how you normalize, but I think that as I define them they are really this, without further things. And then it's equivalent to this representation. I don't think that really there are extra factors here. But we can check separately then. No, I think that I checked it's correct.


So, what do you think the next will be after semi-circuit disc? Semi? Hemisphere. Hemisphere, hollow hemisphere. Write down. It's a hollow and what do you think DM should be? Surveyor rings, correct. You take a surveyor ring. This angle, sorry. This angle is T theta. Okay. And the radius is R, capital R. Find out the center of mass location. Of course, this is linear surveyor disc. It's a ring. Now, thickness of the ring is making some angle. It's not if the entire plate is at angle. So, we are not getting to solid angle. It is not in yourselves. It's a clear hemisphere one. It is simple. It's straight forward. Again. I'll just write the formula opening. This. Find out DM. Find out YCM of the T. So, Y center of mass is minus of R sine theta. This distance is a sine. So, DM will be mass per meter. 2 pi R is... I don't know how to say all this. Okay. M derivative in the strip and made up. So, 2 pi into small r sine 2 theta. Sorry, 0 to pi by 2. Very sorry about that. Minus cos 0 to pi by 2. So, in a substitute, we are going to Y center of mass to be equal to minus of R by 2. Holo hemispheres. What will be the next one? Solid hemispheres. Solid hemispheres. Center of mass. Now, you are finding center of mass after this. Last one. They are width, right? The small increases here. If you have to plot the entire hemisphere to increase the value of small r, right? You have to find out such things. Which is the last one. That is not the volume of the DM. That is the volume inside the DM you have found out. See, it is like volume of the material of this. It is not the volume of this. It is not the total volume. So, the volume of the material is the surface area into the thickness. Total volume is the volume of what I am saying. But that is not the volume of the. Similarly, volume of DM is surface area of the DM into the thickness. Okay. Y cm is not. What? Y cm is minus of r2 by 3 inside DM. I am finding volume of the two different sides. Okay. Pi and pi gone. So, I am getting 3m by rq r square DM. So, this is my DM. And this is Y cm. Substitute there an integrate 0 to capital R. Like that will happen now. Even in school exam, you cannot do that. Forget about it. You have to understand. If you just sit at home and keep on writing lab records, that is not studying. Studying is number of problems you should count. If you are not solving any problem, don't expect marks are not improving. The reason, surprisingly that you might So, pay attention. That is a direct correlation. Finding the mass of various problem that we asked in the JMAs. If you solve little bit more problems at home. Okay. Fine. So, this is the we have just started the chapter. And we have introduced how to find the location of the system.


Welcome everyone. We're going to go ahead and get started in a minute. Thank you so much for coming out to tonight's budget open house. We're looking forward to sharing with you some of what's in the proposed budget for fiscal year 17 for the city of San Antonio. I'm Megan Dodge. I'm with the government and public affairs department with the city. And first I'd like to just give a quick mention of translation services. If any people need translation services, please call there in the back of the room. Okay, thank you. First we'd like to share a quick video that just gives a high level, highlights of what's in our proposed budget. San Antonio, you spoke up and we listened.  First off, this budget has no... San Antonio, you spoke up and we listened.  First off, this budget has no city property tax increase and our public safety spending stays at less than 66% of our budget. You told us streets, sidewalks and drainage were your top priority and we delivered. This year's budget features $79 million for street improvements and sidewalks. You told us neighborhood services were really important, so we made some cool things happen. This year's budget features $900,000 more for animal care services and $900,000 more to care for our city parks. You also told us public safety was important, so this budget features 32 new police officers, 9 new parks officers and 42 more employees to answer your 911 calls. Fire and EMS will also receive new equipment and gear for 1200 firefighters. There's so much more included in this year's budget and you can learn all about it at saspeakup.com. Now it's time for you to... Again, fill out the survey today. We'll have a presentation from Councilman Gallagher. He'll say a few words and we'll hear from the city manager, Cheryl Scully, and then we'll invite you to visit with each department that's here represented today and give you an opportunity to interact one-on-one with our city employees and talk with them about what's in the budget and about the services that they provide. So now I'd like to pass it along to Councilman Gallagher. Thank you very much. Can you hear me okay? They've got me with one of those microphones you're not supposed to be able to see. On my spurs tie. Okay, it works all right. Well, thank you very much, Megan. I appreciate that. You know, one thing that makes me so proud and you have all heard this before, it's just amazing that when you neighborhood leaders turn out the kind of turnout we have compared to a lot of the other places that these meetings are held. I'm very pleased the fact that you have turned out and one thing that I would ask that you do besides your input tonight is please get the word out to everybody in your neighborhoods. Let them know what the priorities are and how they're going. You know, we've been through, and a lot of the people sitting in this room have been through in this very room here with me, a lot of these budget hearings in the past. And we've, I think, told city leadership that there are some priorities that we have and we don't have to repeat those to you too many times because you all know what they are. You know, such things as infrastructure, our streets, our sidewalks, our drainage and all that. And I'm so proud of the fact that right now the way that Cheryl has got this designed out, we're going to see that money held up this year so that we'll have something like it was last year so that we've really made our effort a lot more than it's been in past years. So I'm so pleased about that. I'm really pleased that we're, say, in 79 million allocated to streets and sidewalks. That is good news for us. The thing is, of course, I could use all of that in District 10, but we're glad that that is being done because that priority has to be set. The fact that we are getting more police officers, I'm really pleased to see that. I think that's very, very important. One of them that I'm very proud of and when I heard Cheryl first mention it, when she was briefing council, guess what? We've got three more personnel assigned to the Northeast Senior Center. So that organization has been overwhelmed with customers. So I'm really glad that that's happened. I really look forward now. I can be very proud of the fact that our city manager, Cheryl Scully, has turned out tonight to give us this presentation. And with that, Cheryl, if you'll step forward, we really do appreciate your support. And I'll tell you what, if you want to talk about who's got the toughest job around here, I'm introducing her right now. Thank you very much. Okay, well, good evening. It's great to be back out with District 10 and conduct our annual budget meeting with you, answer a few questions, and we have lots of staff here tonight. I hope we haven't outnumbered you, but I think we're pretty matched up here. And didn't Megan Dodge do a nice job in English and Spanish at the beginning of the meeting? Megan works in our government and public affairs office with Jeff Coyle and a team that helped to communicate with the community, and they've done a great job this year. We try to do something different each year and get some information and on your priorities before we prepare the budget during the month of July. And so they were able to conduct surveys and interviews with more than 5,000 people so that we could get that input and use it in the budget process. So this is the third of our workshops out in the community. We have two more next week, and then the City Council will also conduct two public hearings in the City Council chambers before budget adoption on September 15th. So I presented the budget last Thursday, and this is the beginning of the review of the presented and proposed budget. We'll take your input, and then Council members will deliberate and make final decisions before adoption on September 15th. So our budget is balanced. We're required by law to maintain a balanced budget. So unlike a couple of other forms or higher levels of government, state and federal government, we are required to maintain a balanced budget. Our budget is balanced when it's presented. It's balanced throughout the course of the year and it's balanced at the end of the fiscal year. So it implements, it begins the implementation process of SA Tomorrow, which is our comprehensive growth and development plan. We also have a transportation element and a sustainability plan. All three of those plans were adopted by the City Council just two weeks ago. So what's included within the budget is consistent with some of the planning goals in that document that were developed through a series of meetings over the past two years with the community talking about our growth centers and 13 growth centers were identified where there are 15,000 or more employed in those growth centers. And what will it take to help the business in those areas continue to grow and how do we also transport everyone and make sure they're getting to work and to home and to recreate and to school all of those things in our lives in the best way possible. So a lot of work yet to be done will be developing action plans over the upcoming months. This budget as the Councilman said continues our investment at high levels in streets and sidewalks, increases public safety and our neighborhood quality of life issues and we're preparing for the 2017 bond program. So the voters approved the 2007 program, $550 million, no tax increase. We completed those projects, 153 of them. In 2012, five years later, we presented another bond program that was developed through citizen input, $596 million. Most of both programs have gone into streets and drainage, no tax increase. And then this spring, what we're considering is an $850 million bond program again to repair streets and reduce flooding in neighborhoods, repair sidewalks, and again, no tax increase. Likewise, this proposed budget does not include a tax rate increase. In fact, the city has not raised the property tax rate in 24 years and over the past decade, I've recommended reducing it four times in the councils, excuse me, approved reducing it four times over the past 10 years. So the community priorities, I mentioned the survey process that we did with the community and what we consistently hear is that the residents of the community would like to see more streets and sidewalk repair. Any guesses as to how many miles of streets we maintain? Some of you know from past meetings. This is a little bit of a quiz. 4,000, yes. So more than 4,000 miles of streets. And we all have a favorite or a list of those not so favorite streets that we know need to be repaired. Nonetheless, what the council members must do in concert with the community is decide and prioritize which ones first. And our engineering staff also make recommendations based on how we can do some preventative maintenance on the streets as well as reconstruction and overlays based on the condition of the road. And every street in those 4,000 miles is categorized A through F. And so we know which ones need which amount of repair and we discuss and make recommendations to the council on repairing those roads on an annual basis. Secondly, adding more police officers and firefighters. I'll talk about that in a minute and what's included in the budget. Neighborhood services. And that includes libraries as well as animal care services, senior centers, those neighborhood issues, code enforcement, and economic development, workforce development. How do we help the community help itself? And also parks and recreation. Now, in all of these departments they're all represented here as a staffer because there are so many here. But I want you to know that we're here to answer your questions and so we'll stay a little bit after the meeting and talk with you about other questions you may have about the budget. Okay, so the total city budget, $2.5 billion, and it's slightly less than the current budget in 2016, two-tenths of a percent less, primarily because our capital budget is slightly less. We're finishing up the 2012 bond program, so as those projects near completion, less money in the budget for capital spending this year, so it's slightly less than last year. It's divided into three major categories. The general fund, that portion that you think about when you think of basic city services, police and fire, street maintenance, parks and recreation, libraries, community and senior centers, animal care, municipal court, health department, social services, all of those things are included in the general fund and that portion of the budget has an increase of about 3.4 percent for the 2017 fiscal year that begins October 1. The second biggest portion of the budget, the restricted funds, and these are what we call enterprise operations. That is where the fees charged for the service cover the expense for that department.  So that's an enterprise operation. No property tax dollars or sales tax dollars are used to support garbage collection solid waste, but rather the fees for the service. Our fees are some of the lowest in the state, so David McCary and the solid waste team have done a great job. Where are they? There's David Newman over here. So they've done a great job with the implementation of our automated garbage collection. The recycling program, we're now up to over 30 percent, about 33 percent on recycling. When we started 10 years ago, we were less than 10 percent, 6 to 8 percent in our recycling. And now, of course, we've introduced the organics program. And as you get less and less in that brown garbage can, you can pay for and ask for a smaller can and get a reduced rate. So we're excited with the work that our solid waste staff has done. So that's one of our enterprise departments, also the airport. So the airlines, the commercial operations at the airport, those who use the airport are general property taxes and sales tax dollars do not go to support the airport. So those are the three categories within the total city budget. And every single dollar is accounted for. It's appropriated into the various departments for the services that we provide. The general fund, that part I was talking about, that we most frequently think about in terms of city services here. Two-thirds of the budget is spent on the police and fire departments. The next largest slice of the pie goes to streets and sidewalk maintenance. Parks and recreation is third. And then you see all those other multi-colors are all the other city departments. Whether it's human services, our library department, the municipal court, code enforcement, animal care, planning, historic preservation, the one office, the municipal detention center, general administration of the city, accounting, human resources, purchasing. Those services are all in those other categories. And the council has given us policy direction to keep public safety spending under 66%. And some of you may recall from our previous discussion, that's because we're required to maintain a balanced budget. We're required to have money, and as those costs were growing faster than our general fund revenue, those departments then were crowding out all these other services. And no one wants a reduction in the senior center hours or library hours or a reduction in parks and recreation programs or in human services. And so we had to figure out a way that we could manage those costs and not let public safety expenses consume the entire general fund budget. It's a core service. We are grateful for the work of our police and fire personnel, and it also has to be affordable to the taxpayers because we're not going to let public safety consume the entire city budget and then shut out the lights in all of our other facilities and centers. We need to have a balance for the community to maintain our quality of life. And so that's what we've been working at very diligently for the past couple of years. So the 2017 budget supports SA Tomorrow. We're going to, as I said, begin the implementation planning process that is working with neighborhood groups to develop the individual neighborhood plans throughout the entire city. Now that we have the guiding principles together over the past two years as part of the comprehensive plans, we're supposed to be doing it about every five years. It has been a long time since San Antonio had updated the comprehensive development plan, but through a very extensive public engagement process we have been able to accomplish that. So we'll be moving into some of the action steps that may include zoning changes in neighborhoods, changes in council ordinances that reflect policies about trees and impervious cover, and all those complicated, very difficult things to talk about. But that will come over the course of the next year to year and a half. So in terms of what's included in the budget as increases, the FIRE EMS services reflects evergreen. Some of you know what that means. That is, when the FIRE union contract expired it has a clause in the collective bargaining agreement that says the terms and conditions continue for ten years. So because they have not been willing to negotiate a contract, their contract expired in 2014 and have not come to the table yet, we're still hopeful that they will. In fact, Rudy's here tonight, member of the FIRE union. We're hopeful they will negotiate, but we, for this proposed budget, have reflected evergreen, meaning that the terms and conditions of that old contract are what are included within this proposed budget. And it includes the old health care conditions, the terms of that, which, by the way, are costing us about $6 million more than if they had agreed to what we've just worked out with the police union. So we're also fully funding the 51 firefighters that were added in 2016 as we open and expand more service for our growing community. We're adding two more classes to fill vacancies in this proposed budget. One FIRE class, one EMS class, so we have retirements and people who leave the organization for one reason or the other and we need to keep refilling those vacant positions. We're retrofitting our FIRE stations with an exhaust removal system, which is, so when the engine companies and the letter companies come back into the stations, this will release that exhaust away from the sleeping areas for the firefighters. So we're retrofitting those stations that have not been retrofitted yet or newly constructed and then a second set of bunker gear which might not be very exciting to you all, but this is important in firefighting so that the old look of when, you know, it looked kind of gritty and maybe exciting to see, you know, FIRE gear that was all dirty from having fought a FIRE. That's also sometimes hurtful in terms of the well-being and healthfulness of our employees. So the chief has recommended that we have a second set of bunker gear. This is beyond what's really recommended or required by national standards. Nonetheless, we want to ensure that our firefighters are taking care of and best treated with regard to their health. So a second set of bunker gear for 1,200 firefighters included within this budget. Okay, in the police budget, and chief McManus is here tonight, chief. Thanks for coming out and several of his staff are here tonight as well. 32 new police officers and this includes 25 that will be assigned to community-oriented policing and seven that will help us with the annexation areas that are proposed and the council will be considering this fall the newly 2B annexed areas of the city and when that happens next year. I want to point out that this is in addition to filling vacant positions. So these are new additional positions beyond filling the vacancies. We have about 150 chief cadets in training right now and another class of 45 to 50 that will begin late September, early October another class. We carry about 50 to 60 vacancies at any one time given the number of retirements that happen. We have 2400 sworn personnel in the police department. So changes each month and we manage that and then run classes to keep those vacancies filled. So nine park police officers and this is to service our expanding park system. The park projects that were included in the bond program as we add acreage to our system. You know that we have more than 250 parks within the city limits so as we expand our parks and increase the linear creek system we add park rangers to help police those areas and make sure that our residents are safe as they're out there using our park system. We have 42 civilian positions these are call takers at our 911 center so we've had some challenges with drop calls people being put on hold when they call the police department 911 center responds answers about 1.5 million calls per year and that's increasing with the increases in our population. So to keep up with that adding more call taker positions in this budget. Continuing with the implementation of the body camera program we've already equipped about 700 of our police officers with body cameras and for the next year and a half we will continue with the implementation of the body camera program and lastly a pilot program on gang violence intervention. If someone is able to figure out how to dramatically reduce gang violence I mean they would have a patent in the market I'm sure. So we're experimenting and trying we've studied best practices among some other cities and this GBI gang violence intervention program is something we're going to pilot over the next year and it's working a little bit closer with the community that can identify and know some of the perpetrators and working more closely to attempt to reduce gang violence in the community. Street maintenance this chart shows you that in the 2016 budget in 2017 as we've heard from the community about the priorities to still increase our street maintenance this chart shows the $64 million just on street funding 900 projects our transportation and capital improvements department is managing right now and so they're doing a fine job keeping up the workload and the schedule and accomplishing those overlays and street maintenance items in this area of sidewalks we've also you can see increase that dramatically in 2016 and again in 2016 because the needs are so great we have so many areas of the community where there have never been sidewalks and so we're focused on those areas where there are schools nearby so that elementary children and middle schoolers can walk to school and also in conjunction with bus routes so that the transit dependent population can access the via bus lines these are just examples of some of the street maintenance projects that are proposed in the 2017 budget in district 10 it's not an exhaustive list it's not all of the projects but I just wanted to give you an idea of some of the projects that will be or that are included or recommended by our transportation capital improvements department for this year and then in sidewalks here are some of the sidewalks that are also recommended as part of this proposed budget we've also included $2 million for safety issues in the community pedestrian safety in and around schools for more flashers for pavement markings and construction of the intersections to make it safe for children to be able to get to schools and also the vision zero program you know San Antonio has one of the highest rates or incidents of pedestrians that are killed by cars and so because we have so many people that live in the community that are transit dependent or that walk to work or to other activities we have a high fatality rate and so we're working to provide additional safety whether it's through additional lighting or making crossing safer where we actually create intersections that are a little bit better or a safety zone in the center of the street where someone can cross part way and then wait for the other traffic before they fully cross the street so we're continuing that program in parks and recreation these seven positions have been added to take care of our growing park system so as we bring projects that were funded through the bond program online we have to maintain them and also take care of them from that ongoing maintenance standpoint so here is an example of two within district 10 the senior centers councilman Gallagher already mentioned adding positions at the northeast senior center and those are added to the budget you know we estimated what councilman 4500 would attend that was our estimate we've had nearly 7000 close to 7000 using that facility so we need to provide some higher level of service and and that's what we want for the older population that interactivity and whether it's physical activity or book clubs or gathering so that they can remain healthy happy and productive in the community smart cities we one of our core values is innovation and we're part of an alliance of cities across the country that are constantly looking at ways that we can be creative about how we're providing services to the community and so we have included within the proposed budget funding to put Wi-Fi in some of our parks some of those that are of the highest volume of users we're also looking at community kiosks where instead of having staff there at all times we have community kiosks that provide information about programming in the park nearby businesses if they're looking for other kinds of services or retail opportunities adjacent and we're also doing a park reservation system how many of you have ever called or tried to reserve a pavilion in a park for a family gathering or a birthday party you'll be able to do that online with the new system also build SA online permitting through our development services department also getting some of those building permits online submitting plaques coordinating inspections being able to do that work online and then one of my favorites our budget transparency tool called OpenGov for those of you after the meeting if you would like to look at any line item within our city budget of 2.5 billion you can go online and access all the detail about the city's budget through our budget tool so the capital improvements in the total budget divide out this way most of the money going into streets 32% of our operating budget airport is the second largest you know that the consolidated rental facility is under construction that's a $170 million project funded through airport funds and it will be completed by November of 2017 where's my capital staff where's TCI tonight okay you heard that November 2017 actually the city council just approved expanding that contract so that the contractors working 7 days a week can get that project done it is a major major project out at the airport but will provide additional parking at the airport as well as consolidate and put all together all those car rental facilities for the visitors who bring all that money and spend all that money in San Antonio so bond status from 2012 92% of the projects the 140 projects are either completed or under construction and the balance will be underway before the May 2017 election I'll tell you oh here are a few of the projects in district 10 are in the near area that have been included whether they're completed or under construction here you can see on the list it's not the total list but gives you an idea of those projects that were voted on that we all voted on in 2012 so next steps in the budget process we are doing these five work sessions with the city council we had our first one yesterday talked about the police and fire budgets and our transportation and capital improvements recommendations next week we have two more work sessions with the council and then the following week another two work sessions with the city council we're doing these open houses in the community this is the third one this week we'll have two more next week and then two public hearings and budget adoption is scheduled for September 15th so in summary that is the budget 2.5 billion dollars with the three major components it's slightly less than last year we invite your input on the budget and all the staff is here tonight if you have a specific interest for the city departments that are here we're happy to talk with you individually and answer your questions councilman thank you so much what a briefing nice job Cheryl I thought it would be helpful if we could for somebody that's got some of the big picture questions now if you've got a specific one for one of the departments all you gotta do is walk over to that table but if you've got some big picture questions you'd like to ask Cheryl right now the other experts in the room will be glad to take them but before we do that maybe you've heard of this guy former city councilman John Clamp have you heard of him yeah he asked me to make an announcement that the next northeast neighborhood alliance meeting which most of you belong to is going to be held on September 19th over at the senior center the northeast senior center on Thousand Oaks so I hope you'll go to that meeting seven o'clock right John and believe it or not we're going to have some food there and it ought to be a whole lot of fun and guess what the topic is going to be neighborhoods and neighborhood communications will really be a good meeting for us and look forward to that so thanks John for reminding us of that okay any big questions go ahead Mark yes yes can't answer that off the top of my head but they are paying us rent and that was negotiated up front so that their payments are contributing toward the payment and the cost of the parking facility I'm happy to get you that information if you'd like it yeah don't worry they are they are paying they're paying their rent and we're tough negotiators yeah okay okay go ahead speak up Roger successful contract with the police department because this is something that was tremendously needed and gave the city people confidence in our city government so thank you again thank you I didn't talk about it but if I could just say this so there does include a wage increase in the budget as negotiated with them we have a mediated settlement we went through mediation in the final steps of the process and the police employees for the first time will be contributing toward the cost of health care for their dependence we're still covering and not charging them premiums for the health care for themselves but we are asking them to contribute toward the cost of health care for their dependence since health care was the fastest and largest growing portion of the budget so we made progress in the other some other areas as well but it will it does represent cost avoidance for the city of about $87.5 million over the term of the contract the next five years so it's significant in that regard and thank you for your compliments okay Milton go ahead what do we do when we have major damages to our infrastructure due to natural elements where does the money come from is there emergency funds or something that can take care of that because our budget is fairly tight and how is that handled yes so when good question and my brother lives with his family in Kokomo, Indiana so we were able to get that information last night so we are self-insured and we have a self-insurance reserve fund where we keep money aside so that if we have catastrophic situations we have that fund additionally we have built our reserves up over the past decade so that we maintain 10% of our general fund in reserve for a catastrophic situation yes and we try to stay away from it because having that reserve fund for only catastrophic or very serious situations then allows us to keep our excellent bond rating so our general obligation bond rating is what the major rating agencies how they view the city how well we manage our finances and as you know we're a triple A rated city and of the top 10 largest cities in the country we are the only one to have the very highest of financial ratings and I credit our financial staff our chief financial officer Ben Gorzel and his entire team Maria Villagomas you know she's been our budget director for many years our budget team we have lots of budget staff here Peter Zinoni deputy city manager was budget director when I came to the city 10 years ago so we've really worked hard to strengthen our financial management of the city and that triple A rating means that we pay the lowest interest rates in the country when we issue debt in fact we refinanced about 330 million of debt this summer for cost savings of 26 million dollars so we're constantly looking at how we best manage and it's if you think of the concept similar to your own home mortgage you may look at interest rates occasionally if you have a mortgage on your home what you're paying currently what it would cost you to refinance refinance that because then it gives you more disposable income right and that's the same concept with our bond program as we keep our interest rates low it gives us more capacity to be able to build more streets and sidewalks and more fire stations and libraries that are needed for our growing community. Thanks for explaining that one because I think we understand about the triple A bond rating and if we didn't have that think how much things would cost we not get half of what done well we get done because of it and that's really because of the leadership of somebody right here okay go ahead ma'am. Only five? Now just stay with the big one because you can always go to the department. We're happy to talk with you too when we break into the smaller groups. Okay you mentioned that you refinanced 330 million dollars of our debt how much is that question? Do you happen to know Maria offhand? 1.5 billion that includes though the general and restricted yeah that's all funds so all outstanding debt. I'll tell you so for general obligation bond issues we issue 20 year debt so we only consider projects and issue debt financing for those things that have a life expectancy of at least 20 years but on average we pay off that debt in 11 or 12 years we're conservative in our estimates and don't want to overstep and and be caught with having to reduce services well for mostly for 20 25 years but we pay it off sooner than that mm-hmm and there are rules state law and city charter as to how much debt we can issue and we are only at about 10% of what we're allowed to issue by law on the refinancing 2.4% that you financed that you did not finance on the remaining debt that we did not refinance all well that's all that debt is refinanced and we I mean I'm happy to give you it's all different kinds of things 330 million was refinanced and you said yes that you have a total debt of 1.5 million that means that that other debt was so low that it didn't make sense to refinance it at this time or the bond covenants didn't allow us to refinance it at this time but we're constantly looking at that and studying it and making those adjustments on an annual basis to refinance but we're still paying interest on that old debt too correct oh yes yeah so and it's it's in the budget well how much is it what is a percentage off the top of my head I don't know off the top of my head but I'm happy to that's another getting the weeds question alright well we can only take a couple more so let's go back here go ahead and if you give me your list of questions we're happy to get you those answers go ahead and the big question for me is on November we will not get first responder services anymore from the city of converse so where are we standing in negotiations between right San Antonio we're kind of the I feel like we're the annex step child away from San Antonio it takes about supposedly about 30 minutes for first responder to come from San Antonio to actually reach us so you live in converse I live in North Hampton which is part of San Antonio okay we you mean with them not providing the service with the agreement there was an agreement converse in San Antonio that first responder services comes from converse police or a response comes from San Antonio yes they recently sent us a letter that they want more money they want more money or so we're in negotiations with them Eric Walsh our deputy city manager who works with police and fire is in conversation with them now and before November well before we'll have that worked out but I'd like to have your name though before you leave tonight so that I can ask Eric to call you and make sure that you're up to speed speaking of that Cheryl let's make it why don't you explain how these clipboards work everyone again like city manager and councilman Gallagher explained we have all of our city staff here we welcome you to please come around and visit talk about what's in the budget ask your questions about city services that are represented here we also have staff walking around and then also a big table here with surveys where you can give your feedback on what's in the budget and we welcome that and we will be providing that back to city council as part of our ongoing public engagement it's at saspeakup.com okay everybody let's give our city manager a big hand okay your homework assignment tonight is you will fill out a clipboard before you go okay thanks a lot everybody for coming really do appreciate it


Some might be useful people, I am back with another hour and ring video and another new rune farm for you today. This one will see you earning over 100k in under a minute, every minute. This isn't new game plus by the way guys, I'm not on new game plus at the minute, but when you get on new game plus this will double triple whatever.  From here guys we actually want to make our way to this cave right here or this tunnel. So we're actually going to go to this grace point right there and I'll show you exactly what you've got to do. It's another one where you throw yourself off the map on your horse swinging your weapon but it's still decent and it's still good. Now this obviously is not better than the Mughun Dynasty area hill that is by far the best farm in the game, the hill here but it is better and faster than farming the bird so if you haven't got the relic sword or decent enough weapon to farm the hill and you are using the bird to actually get your runes this is better in my opinion and it's way easier to do as well than many of the other spots where you have to throw yourself off the map because there's no climbing here. So this grace point is inside the tunnel and this is the one you want to actually activate when you first come here because this is the one we're going to run back or actually fast travel back to to farm this spot. So from the grace point guys you want to go up this lift and activate the lift. Now what's important here guys is to send this lift back down before we do the farm otherwise you're going to be waiting on the when we travel back down for the lift. So yeah send it back down by running across it just like that and then guys all you've got to do is come to the entrance see that rocking front here and you've literally just got to double jump off here delaying that second jump as best you can and I'll show you exactly what you've got to do. So weapon in hand, one jump, two jump and to swing that weapon and that is it guys and you'll see you get just over 100k ruins for this every single time and you can do this relatively fast too.  But hey I'm just going to continue on and wait for you until I get my ruins and then I'll end the video guys to showcase you exactly what you've got to do once you get them. But yeah swing your weapon no matter what weapon you've got I think you can even use your fist as well. It's a swinging of the weapon which cancels out the death animation and the reason we're actually at the top with delay that second jump is so we jump over the death barrier but yeah these cancels out the death animation while swinging our weapon and eventually the map above us will despawn and all the adds will fall down dying and us we get those ruins there you go right there guys as you see and there you have it then you just guys you just simply fast travel back to that grace and because you sent the lift back down you can then just stand back on it guys and go back up it really is that simple people and there we have it another real easy ruined farm now what we'll say is make sure you have your gold scour over on give you that then plus ruins and there we have it guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out we like what you see want to see more out on ring be sure to subscribe and hopefully my beautiful people I will see you on that next one


In sports news, now, Irid's fans have invaded the main bowl of the Moschu de Buala Stadium, destroying everything in sight. Immediately after, Niger's won all draw against Gunnar on Tuesday, which ended the Shippur Ego's dream of reaching a seventh World Cup appearance in Qatar in November. Now, despite the Ego's bright start in front of a fully parked 60,000-capacity Aboja Stadium, the Black Stars took the lead through Captain Thomas' party in the 11th minute. The Arsenal midfielder unleashing fears, low drive, were squeezed through the dive in Francis Huzoho's hands. But Gunnar qualified for the World Cup thanks to the away goal after the false leg at the Barbariano Stadium in Comasi ended goal-less. So we knew that tensions were going to be high, but I don't think I expected, I don't think any of us expected it to turn into violence on the pitch. Destruction is a shame, it really is a shame, and it shouldn't happen like this. Football is in a match like this, we know somebody will go through, somebody will not, but it is disappointing for us that Nigeria's not the team that's gone through, but it's extra disappointing that Nigerians and Nigerian fans have participated in this type of destruction.

Professor Mark Stewart from the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia. We are very happy that we can talk to you and ask you some questions about the cost ACT-1402 on quantifying the value of structural health monitoring. Okay, so maybe to start up, can you outline what your activity has been and how it has developed? Okay, well my activity has been really working with some very key researchers within the cost action. So I've been working with with Sebastian, Simone, Michael Faber, and what we've been looking at is really the value of information, how it affects systems resiliency. And some of the workers also have also been focusing on counterterrorism measures for buildings and bridges and how we can use updated information to really give us a bit more information about future projections about a hazard and also the resilience of infrastructure. About the topic of the action, the value of information of structural health monitoring, probably you knew about this before the action, but is there something that you learned working in the action together with these participants that you just mentioned? Okay, you can't spit it out, that's a tough question to ask. Well, I mean, what I've learned about the cost action is how well engaged European researchers are with each other and how they can build critical mass on fairly key projects and also gives opportunities for people like myself who are obviously long way from Europe to work with some international leaders within Europe on these particular projects. So I think that's a great benefit is it actually allows a lot more networking within Europe and also outside of Europe, because that's quite difficult in many other parts of the world. Okay, thank you. Did our network we built across Europe that influence your network? Maybe not really, right? Because you already have a very large network and we also have to admit that the activities or the joint activities with you, they are rather focused as you're outlined on individual work with Simona and short term scientific mission and short term scientific mission of myself and also with Michael Faber. So yes, in this sense, our also financial capacities for engaging beyond Europe are a little limited. So yes, but coming back to the part of the research, how does our work influence your future research? What do you see as potentials or issues you may have identified? Well, I think what I think is important is that you can establish collaboration and that's been a really great aspect of this cross-action and the opportunity to work with people that I normally wouldn't have worked with in the past. So it made me to get to know Sebastian a lot better and also Simona and Michael already knows I don't need to know any more about Michael. But that gave me the opportunity to work with people I really haven't worked with before and for them particularly to be able to come to Australia and work on joint joint particular projects. So I see this as a start of a long term collaboration between us and some of the key and the topic of it is extremely relevant to some of my work on Canada Terrorism and Homeland Security where there is a lack of detailed information. There's a lot of worst-case thinking, a lot of subjective thinking and so to have so come up with some with some value of information and some structured models can really I think help inform the future about how we about the data needs we need to collect about how to protect infrastructure against some of these unusual threats such as terrorism and even climate change as well particularly. Somehow you anticipated the questions that I was going to ask you which was what is what will be according to you the impact of this action on beyond science I mean for science for the industry and the society. Do you think in your country it will have a could have a large impact or it's still something that needs time Oh yeah it always takes time but I think a lot of aspects of the cost action really is about public policy decision making. Now we're trying to convince asset owners or governments or regulators about how best they can manage their own particular infrastructure now and into the future. So and I think a benefit of this of cost action is that it can be it can be evidence-based so so it's so it's quantifiable it's it's transparent it's rigorous it's scientific and that helps when you're talking to public policy makers that you've actually got some science behind it and you've actually got evidence about how best to proceed in the future and the feedback that obviously at least Australia has been fairly positive even though the modeling could be quite quite complicated they can see that it's bigger and that there's evidence behind some of the recommendations that we can make. Okay thank you very much for your insights and thoughts and we hope to keep in touch beyond the cost action and I'm sure we will yeah we also hope that we um yeah that maybe one or the other researcher out of our network may even enlarge your large network so let's see thank you very much. Okay that's the problem where can I see you in Australia next? Yeah we would see maybe for sure now is the time here where we wish we would be in Australia with ice and mold but I see but I see by the view at ICASP in Korea and


Like if you're, you're pasting things into a spreadsheet, right? And you've got to go get them from Safari and paste them into whatever. And if you find yourself going back and forth.   Or even if you're, you know, it's not Safari. If you copy one thing from Safari and one thing from, from mail, but you're going back and forth and pasting it into your spreadsheet each time. Copy all the things and then go to where you're going to paste them. And use your clipboard manager to paste the things that you have now copied because they are all in your clipboard. It will be tedious the first time because your fingers don't know all the right keystrokes to make those entries on the clipboard jump out at the time that you want them to jump out. That is a thing that your fingers will learn very, very quickly. Trust me on that.


The police in Lagos state have insisted that Sylvester O'Romanie died a natural death. The state commissioner of police Hakeem Odumoso however stated that a coronary inquest would still be carried out on the cause of the death of the student. He said that the two autopsy results, the one from the deceased student's family and that of all the parties involved under Lagos state government showed that Sylvester died a natural death. At the end of the legislative investigation carried out so far there is no evidence to establish a case of torture, bullying and forced application of poisonous substance against the suspects. All the suspects denied the allegations of torture, bullying and administering a poisonous substance to the deceased. Allegation that the deceased was being forced to join a court group was also not established as other students interviewed the 90s. Final results of the post-mortem and toscology submission conducted both at Wadi and Lagos agreed that the deceased died of natural death. Before the expiration of the 21st, 21 days demanded or demand order, the families of the students applied for their bill at the Manchukotwon Yabba. The application was approved. The students who were earlier demanded at Boyce O'Rogh or Lagos were granted a bill. These all masters were also granted a bill after the expiration of the 21 days demand order. He also warned those threatened to go to any length to protest the outcome of investigations to go the legal way or be ready to face the full rules of the law. Meanwhile, the Romani lawyer Femi Falalo and the father of the deceased student had noted that the acquittal of the suspect was to pave way for the reopening of the college. Family members are insisting on the coroner's request into the death of the school boy. As public and private primary and secondary schools in Lagos resumed for the second term Tuesday, Plastivio Africa visited Doin College. There was a rumored opening of the school, so Plastivio Africa visited, but found out the school was still closed. Father Aosivistar Romani strongly opposed the resumption. He says even if it takes 30 years, his son's remains will be unburied. Every section of Lagosians bear to their minds on the situation. Plastivio Africa's correspondent, Destin Momo Hasmo. Is Doin College resuming for the second term like other schools? It's already 9am this morning and the Plastivio Africa crew got here at about 6am this morning to monitor if Doin College is actually opening today as information reaching us speculates. We've been here for over three hours and there is no sign of resumption of Doin College. Schools are about resuming for second term. Most parents have prepared their children for school resumption. But Doin College has more to deal with than school resumption. Here is what some parents think. I don't know, I don't have an idea. I don't think we told the problem that is around. I don't think they have to sort out the problem first. It's a dodgy one. But I would say yes, the students should not be penalised. But I'd be very disappointed to see the same management that they had last year coming into this year. Something significant has to happen as to how they are managing the school and specifically bullying. I don't know. I can't say much. But if it's done properly, if people are okay with it, then they should open. If not, then maybe they haven't done much. On the judgement by the Lagos State Public Prosecution, father of Sylvester O'Romany rejected the outcome. He insists his son's remains will stay for as long as it takes for justice to be served. I feel bad. I'm not happy at all because the government and the police say that because they don't have the schools in Yoruba, most of the boys in Yoruba are probably the problem of those boys. So why do they have people there? I don't know, but I'm surprised. It's not going to be very long until the end of Yoruba. It might be just 30 years. I don't care. An assistant director in charge of public affairs unit, Ministry of Education Lagos State, Ghaniulawal, spoke on phone to our correspondent. He said no information on the school's resumption could be given until the coroner's inquest sitting on the 15th of January 2022 is concluded. The John National Council Lagos chapters staged a protest as other groups are planning to bring back on theirs. Sylvester O'Romany Jr. is dead. Will he ever get justice? Destiny Momo for Plus TV Africa. When I have Janina's live, the father of Sylvester O'Romany Jr., Mr. Sylvester O'Romany. Good evening, Mr. O'Romany. Good evening. Good evening. Thanks for joining us on Plus TV. Once again, we sympathize with you on the death of Sylvester Jr. Yeah, no problem. Thank you very much. Okay. Let's start this way. When last, I assume, my assumption, that you're still in communication with the school, when last did the school reach out to you? Did they have, when last did they have a conversation with them? No, the school, they have not called me since the death of my son. Nobody called me. It was only the principal. Who called me one day. Just called me. I just called to greet you. I wish you a p.s. part of the story. So that was around Christmas. So that was around Christmas? Yeah, before the Christmas. Okay. Now, we want your reaction to the judgment and the legal state government's decision on this matter. What's your reaction? I've said it before. This is the height of conspiracy because you cannot say you've finished. You told me something today. Two days' time, you'll come on air and say you are the police commissioner. You finalize. Only the commissioner is the judge. Commissioner is the medical doctor. He's the legal practitioner. So I'm not surprised. Okay. So now, what do you want the state government to do? What do you want the government to do? The state or the federal government? So what do you want now? Let me tell you. Legal state is a state that people respect a lot. As I say, every price is there. Coming to the business here, because they respect the government of legal state. But the outcome of what they don't do for years is one is one interest at all. I think I told the federal government that I will listen to this kind of something and close one. I'm sure the government of legal state will not allow this to continue and they will put the school at the 30th appointment. But my boy was placed under the care of the school. All whose care was the boy kept? Okay. What do you want to call them? I bet some fees. Like what happened? I'm not going there. Okay. Now, the John National Council had a protest today. They had a demonstration to support you to show their solidarity. How is that going? What outcome has that produced? What do you see that achieving for you? Let me tell you. The protest has been on now. IYC is not responsible for the protest. Everybody has to protect it. Everybody saw this. What I'm doing today is going for my side to come back. It's for everybody. Something like this will not happen anywhere.  If it happens to this commissioner now, if it happens to him directly, he can't stand it. He can't stand it. Nobody's seen all of that. Okay. Now, your lawyer, Mr. Femi Falano, has already got a hang of this. So what could be his next line of action? What's your brief with him? Anyway, I have briefed him. The next step of action depends on him. I know he's doing something. I'm not a lawyer. I rely on him. There are other lawyers that are working with him, too. So we're not out of justice. This is not the beginning of the case. You've got to keep me alive for 30 years. My son will remember for 30 years until I get justice for my son. I'm not a brother. I do hope you get justice as well. Well, and the CP says they will still have an autopsy despite the legal state government's decision. There's still going to be an autopsy. So is that any consolation for you? Let me tell you. I can tell you. I can back myself to tell you that. They do not carry out any autopsy. They know what they are doing. You know what I'm saying? That's the height of conspiracy. Autopsy that was carried out by psychologists from the family and the school. Is that autopsy? The one that came from Delta. The family does not ask the pathologies. We don't ask. If you are the police from Delta State, they have called on somebody from Central Street to carry out that autopsy. That's why you see police stuff in all the pages. I, the father, the family, we ask of the copies from the police. They refuse to take it. Our lawyer must write. Our lawyer has to write. What police give up the copies? We don't have pathologies. The guy that came from Delta was the one who carried out the autopsy. He came and asked for the money. He was in a meeting with them from 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock. Four of them at the time. What were their discussions? What were their planning? Hey, Nigeria. They asked you to write. Mr. Aramone, I feel your pain. We all do. We feel your pain. We know, of course, whether or not it has happened to anyone, we understand how you feel. But then, the CP says categorically that, I'm not talking about the current judgments now. He says categorically that they will have another autopsy. They're going to have an autopsy. So is that any consolation at all? Do you have any hope in that? Do you have any trust in that? Whatever. Who is doing that? The CP that has already taken side. Who is the judge? Who is the medical doctor? Is he the one who carried out the autopsy? I must forget about that. He's taken side already. Is he the first CP? What is it? We need a money now for each of them. Whatever. We need to go up after the simulation. Whatever. Prosperity. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for, despite your pains, thank you for making our time to speak with us on the news tonight. Thank you very much. We do hope, we do sincerely hope that you get justice in this matter. Thank you very much. Our condolences once again. Thank you. You're welcome.
