the enrollment to establish a budget target. And the funds included in building our budget is built from the town appropriation which include chapter 70 state aid, town, local contribution, grants and revolving and circuit breaker. And so this chart explains how the districts has been funded over the last few years and seeing those trends. And you'll see that this particular year our obviously state aid did not increase that much due to the Department of Elementary and Second Education and the state and the governor's current budget using the enrollment that we had in October one. And meaning that we didn't have any growth so there would not be seeing additional monies per se but would be held harmless to what from that enrollment decrease. The town does provide a set percentage increase in our formula for special ed and general ed. And so they also in the current figure stayed to the commitment of providing 800,000 that was part of the operating override. And they on top of that are seeking to add $230,000 that would be part of the repayment of what they did not pay us for the commitment for last year where we reduced our budget in agreements with them by $460,000. If you remember last year, we were supposed to receive $600,000 added to our base. So the numbers break down for FY 22 like this. For our total FY 22 town appropriation that includes the state aid and the local contribution which is a substantial portion of the taxpayer's dollars is 80,104,634 dollars. The town appropriation includes funding from both that state aid formula that I discussed and is about $4.4, $5 million higher or exactly about 6% increase from the prior year. However, normally we would project grants at a higher amount and you'll see that the grants are reflecting actually a negative amount. And that is because typically we keep core grants that we normally get year to year in here. But I thought it was important to show that this year we did receive additional money from the coronavirus stimulus funds. So that included SR1 funds, which was about 150,000 and about another $1.3 million from the CVRF funds which was coronavirus relief funds to reopen schools this year. We're not gonna receive those funds currently. We are slotted to receive SR2 when we apply for it which is a little bit over $500,000. That was what I added to the memo when I sent a new memo back up. There was talks about a current another allocation which would be about nine times the higher than the levels of SR1, but that's still to be negotiated. Those numbers can also drop down. There was also a reduction in circuit breaker on top of the reduction that we've seen last year. And that is due to the reduction in our out of district spending. Circuit breaker is a reimbursement of that spending when we hit a certain threshold. And so that gives us our final actual change in funding which is about $3 million when including grants and revolving in the spending. Revolving negative doesn't reflect that we've received less money. We do have some reserve balances but as well as we did not receive much revenue this year in FY 21. So some of our revolvings did take a hit this year and so we will need to definitely look at those balances but we do feel comfortable that we will still spend from our revolving and do expect that our revenues will increase or pick back up on those revolving funds. This chart shown is a normally shown in the past it shows the total budget for the district but it shows it as a pie chart showing that the local contribution contribution is about 75% of the funding for our own team. So the grants is a really smaller portion of that and chapter 70 is about 17%. So it's about $14.7 million. This side shows how we're gonna spend the budget typically the school committee votes on budget transfers categories and the amounts that we will spend per category and the largest part of our budget still remains to be special education. Followed then by secondary and elementary and that's what's shown here. So this year typically since it's a different type of year we're still trying to build the budget a little bit more but I wanted to keep it very simple. We got on the town appropriation side and this only reflects that we've received 4.5 million extra dollars that's on the table possibly. And we anticipate that with some adjustments and salary increases we will have to in contractual obligations we will have to send out about 2.25 million dollars to cover that, those things that we anticipate. And then that really leaves us about 2.2 million dollars to do some additional ads to meet the needs that we need for this year. And to also cover any positions that we added from last year or from the current fiscal year, should I say not last year. So I wanted to go into the ads and talk about what the ads are. I gave you the list but just to kind of briefly give you an understanding of each of the ads I may not touch on all the ads but one of the things that we're gonna add is a 0.2 preschool teacher which is to provide ELL instructional support services to the preschool as well as testing for compliance and state regulations and to also begin English language development in the preschool. Also looking at adding a special education teacher for the SLC that they were planning to move to the part of the SLCC program to the Hardy. And so we will need at least a special ed teacher and two teaching assistants for that program shift for the next year, as well as some additional support for the SLC, so special education as a team chair in the SLP for the SLCA and SLC to increase the staffing level. One thing is we talked about in the previous, it was heard in the previous meetings it was about the assistant principals. So there's been a need due to the enrollment growth that we've seen in the past that there's been a growth in staff. And that means that principals have taken on a lot larger responsibilities in terms of the amount of people that they're managing, the evaluations that they have to do, more meetings that they have to support, and more students that they have to support in general. And so that means there's less opportunities for principals to be instructional leaders in their schools. So the assistant principals, we strongly believe we would support, but this doesn't not necessarily support giving all schools assistant principals. This will just support to get schools based on that need the full assistant principals, the level of support that they need. In addition, we have a reading teacher obviously as I discussed before about the reading and math support, you'll see that on here, as well as addressing some maybe some, the lead math coach, which is a position to provide support to overseeing the large staff that the math department has, which would provide a more consistent oversight of the program that are really specific for elementary, as well as setting up additional meeting time with the elementary principals. The current structure, it makes it difficult for the current staff to do that, as well as the literacy coaches to provide additional support to close the achievement gap. The Gibbs ads also continue the certain trends we do need the math support, or some level of resources that should be added to provide that as well as an SLP for the Gibbs. One thing that I believe the new principal at the Gibbs also mentioned was the need for additional administrative support in the main office. That would also give it up to equity with the audits and middle school. We couldn't provide the full request ad. We did provide at least half of that in this budget. We believe that the Gibbs is not as big as the audits in, but it does need the support and a half would be the compromise to do that. And occupational therapist increases just to address the enrollment growth and that load for that particular staff. So the proposed additions also at the other middle school with the audits and middle school, which is also support for reading as there's a core students that are entering into the audits and middle school. There's expected over about 80 students that are going to be coming from the Gibbs this year. I mean, that year from the Gibbs will need additional reading support. They're already in the reading in the program getting that additional support. And currently at the Gibbs is three reading teachers. So adding a teacher at the audits and would actually bring audits in up to three as well. And audits in as a larger school should also have more reading support. Also adding a social worker at the audits and middle school. So currently the audits and it's two social workers. And the two social workers as I believe Sarah kind of pointed out is a lot of the counseling and this work is done for students that are more that has the IEPs or special needs. They're not necessarily supporting the general education students. So this social worker ad would be there to support students who do not have IEPs and also support the bridge program at the audits and middle school. If I remember correctly. You see, and there's also some allocations just for enrollment growth for the Spanish teaching and the music teacher and just additional math support also at the audits and middle school. The high school, generally it was driven by trying to catch up the high school based on the enrollment when we open up in full person there's, we need to be able to provide students with the classes that they need to for the students or that they want for the electives. And so we do have provided just a general 2.3 FTE for classroom teachers for the high school teacher at the high school as well as for additional student support staff that really mainly for special education. And in addition to that, this is not necessarily specific for the high school is for the secondary level is providing some SEL SEL support specifically for the secondary level which is being put in place to continue to support the efforts that we've been that if you remember we did the same thing last year we added some funds for SEL for SEL support last year that's in our current budget. And the idea that was brought up earlier about the need for that Sarah was said in her comments about the needs of counseling in social emotional learning basically was the idea that they might be the need of bifurcating counseling in social emotional learning. And so we're still in discussions this is something that we're still trying to work out and I think that this is obviously as a clear placeholder as well as the possibility that it might have to adjust after we evaluate further the needs of the two departments. District wide proposals typically we always have reserved positions in the budget to address the uncertainty of enrollment growth or any uncertain changes that we need to make. In addition, we are also setting aside reserved position special ed teacher positions or not necessary teaching positions. It's meant to be there to support the idea that there is a possibility that we have to address different workload issues or areas of concern. So that that is what the special ed reserve teaching positions are there for. And we also like many other districts in the town has already have their own equity and inclusion role. The school department is also looking to add an equity inclusion and access coordinator because of the need, you know, we can't just we currently used the town resources but that's not enough for what we need in the school district. We need more resources to address the equity and inclusion and access issues. And the role is also to provide support in those areas. But in addition, you know, what we were talking and thinking about this is that a lot of districts are already doing this. Several districts have either already hired this year or are going to do it in the near future. And so there's definitely seems to be a need to make sure that we can address some of these issues by adding this position. And in addition to that, adding a district data manager or analysts, testing coordinator position that is the need to help us provide targeted support to close the achievement gap. We need a person dedicated to collecting and reviewing the various data points to inform creation of goals or pinpoint strategies to address achievement gap issues. And the position will obviously work in tandem with the equity inclusion and access coordinator as well as the assistant superintendent. So after I talk the air off all this time and put you to sleep, I'm, what's next? I would hope to have a full budget book to you by February 25th that we normally would have already provided to you. We have a good substantial portion of it already completed. It might look different this year again, but in a good way, hopefully, so that you guys will take to it well. It may be electronic using the ClearGov website. We're working with them there. After that, there will be also a public hearing for the FY 22 budget on March 11th. And all as well as school committee will vote on that budget on the 25th. And then we will present to Finnecom and go to town meeting out shortly after. I'll leave it to you, Jane, to facilitate the questions. Great, thank you so much, Mr. Mason. I think my questions I know are gonna relate to the slides, but maybe just so that I can see everybody if we can go back to the Brady Bunch screen for a minute. And then we can go to your slides as needed. So I'm gonna start with my question. So I'm actually, I'm gonna make you go back, Mr. Mason, to the slide with the enrollment, the yellow, blue, and red, if you would. So I think my computer's acting up. Well, take your time. I can pontificate as you're doing that. And then we can all look at it and then be done with it. So yeah, it was well, it was very close to, it was where you were showing the enrollment with a start date of FY 22, I believe. So there was a yellow line and a red line and a blue line, I believe, lovely. So I think the important piece here was that, if you look at FY 20, if you look at FY 2021, right, which is the year that we've finished, and all of these, there were a lot of students that didn't come in September. And the long range plan had over a million dollars in enrollment increases that were not realizing in FY 22 appropriately because those students didn't show up. But it's a lot of money that we left on the table. And while some of those students moved out of state and moved out of Arlington and some of them moved to homeschooling, a lot of them went in search of full-time in-person learning, right? And Mr. Mason did a lot of analysis for us in the budget subcommittee and we went through that. And so I think this really speaks to the conversation we had earlier about looking ahead to the spring and when we may be in a position or we will be, hopefully in a position to bring students back full-time. I think this is critically important because I think that a lot of families are making decisions about what they're gonna do in September based on how this district behaves between now and the end of June. And if we're unable to bring students back or some students back full-time, then that is not going to encourage them to either re-enroll or enroll or stay enrolled, right? Here come September and we could be in a situation where if we don't do that, we could potentially not be Mr. Mason's yellow likely projection, which I support I support that projection if we bring students back to full-in-person learning. We are not going to see that happen if we don't bring them back. And so I think that the conversations we're having about what school looks like this spring have a lot to do, they obviously have to do with health and safety, certainly, and they have to do with teaching and learning, but they also have a lot to do with what the budget looks like. And our budget for this year was projected to be a million dollars higher. And that's not happening because we didn't bring them back in September. So I think that it's really important to realize that and for that to be a piece of the conversation. And otherwise, I think that this was a great presentation Mr. Mason, it was very comprehensive. Thank you, Dr. McNeil. We've gone over this at length in budget subcommittee, so I don't have any questions. So if we could go back, Mr. Mason, to the grid view, lovely. All right, other questions or comments for Dr. McNeil and Mr. Mason around the budget presentation? Mr. Cardin. Thank you. So Ms. Elmer isn't with us tonight, but I don't know if you can speak, Mr. Mason, if you can speak to the proposal to move the SLC program to Hardy and how that's the planning for that is occurring, how that's gonna happen, have the families been consulted. I believe they collapsed it to one classroom there next year. So is it that you're just adding the younger classroom to Hardy and only a few kids are moving or both classes moving? What's the plan? I do not have the full details of that plan. I would call Dr. McNeil if he has any information in regards to that. No, I don't need either. And we need to consult Ms. Elmer for the details of the plan. I don't think they've been flushed out. I mean, back up and not say that. We need to consult Ms. Elmer for the details of the plan in order to understand where we are in the planning phase. That's what I meant to say. Okay, thanks. I mean, I think, you know, this has been mentioned for many years on and off because we did add classrooms to Hardy, which are not being used, whereas Brackett does not have any empty classrooms. So from a school system's perspective, it makes sense. But we're potentially, depending on how it's structured, requiring people to switch schools, which is a significant ask for people. So, you know, when those kids were enrolled in the program, a lot of them had to switch schools once. And so if we are affecting kids, we're requiring them to switch schools again. So I just wanna make sure that we're being very careful and minimizing the impact to the extent we can. Thank you. That's a very good point. And we will make sure that we come back with an updated response to your question. Great, thanks. Other questions on the budget? Mr. Thielman. Yeah, I just wanted to get, I just wanna make sure I have in my head the numbers straight. So the net FTE increases is, I'm looking at the mind of the stream here, memo that was something that's 36.3 FTEs. Is that correct? Correct. Yeah, 36.3 FTEs, totally 4.534 million dollars. Okay. The 4.5 million dollars includes the, yes. Yep, okay, I'm sorry. Okay. And can you, so in the assistant principal discussion, which we've had a lot of back and forth on, the final solution, the final recommendation from the district is to add one assistant, I'm trying to get a clarification. How many assistant principals are you proposing? So it would be a total of 6.5 assistant principals. Okay. In terms of FTE full-time equivalents. Yep. Okay, all right, thank you. Mr. Heiner. On the added staff for the high school, Mr. Mason, the four FTEs for support, they aids? Correct. Okay. There's a special that. Thank you. And the 2.3 classroom, they already been assigned, if it gets passed to specific classes, subjects? They have not been assigned yet. That's Dr. Jango will have to look at his needs and what his enrollment will dictate in terms of- You made a distinction between that and on the next slide, you had FTEs for anticipated enrollment growth. Is that what the 2.3 at the high school is too? So 2.3 is actually really a catch-up for enrollment. So in the five-year plan, there was a modeling of adding five or so teachers per year based on enrollment. We didn't meet that the last two years based on that enrollment growth. And so we've actually shorted the high school in terms of the positions that they were projecting that they needed. And so this is to actually get them to where they should be in terms of the request. Thank you. Last question, the equity inclusion position, is that got a job description yet? No, we do not have a job description. We've been speaking about it and we're doing a lot, some research on the actual position and all of our needs- I understand, you need to get funded too before you go forward. Thank you. Exactly. Ms. Ekston. Thanks. So I just want to make sure I understand. So the K-to-5 lead literacy coach is that the same as the K-to-5 reading coordinator that the principals presented back in December which has sort of been renamed? I can take that. So not necessarily because the coaching is still an instructional coach. So that person will be providing, as we talked about the multi-tiered systems of support like looking at tier one instruction and strengthening that tier one instruction. But yes, that lead coach will be like a go-to for the elementary level to talk about the management of materials, making sure that teachers have what they need but still providing that instructional coaching to teachers. And so that was also something as we were looking at the five-year plan as it related to literacy, our projection or our goal was to provide a literacy coach for all our elementary schools. And again, that's strengthening that tier one instructional support. And that is one way that we're doing it by looking at the instructional coach and also managing the things that we need to do in order to provide the materials and resources and having a focus on early literacy. So that's one reason why we have that person in place but it's going to shift over time as we are able to have more coaching, coaches at each one of the buildings than that may evolve over time as may not be the lead coach. Okay, so it's adding an additional coach, literacy coach who has sort of an additional role of coordinating materials. Right, and we're also going to the person that we would seek to hire in that position would have a specialty like a focus on early literacy. So we're trying to strengthen that part of our coaching regime and so that our regiment, excuse me, and so to make sure that we have the proper focus in that area. And then yes, managing the materials, making sure that we have what we need in order to build that strong early literacy program. And is that, so then is the idea the same for the lead math coach? Lead math coach, same thing, trying to find like a go-to person for principals, again, not taking away that ability to provide the instructional coaching for our teachers. So, and then that person would confer with Matt Coleman, the director of math, K-12 math. So, trying to provide more foundation and more support at the elementary level. And then, sorry, one more. And then the social studies coach, is that adding a second social studies coach for K-5? Yes, with all the things that have been going on society and our focus on trying to, you know, provide a multicultural perspective. And as we're building the social studies curriculum at the elementary level, we haven't found like, you know, one of those, you know, I'll call it a canned program or resource that has everything that we need. Because when we look at the standards, we wanna make sure that we're supplementing with the multicultural materials. So what we're doing is we're curating various resources and the social studies department and Denny Conklin, our director, we've decided that we're going to create something that's to customize something for our needs in Arlington. And so we are putting together resources and creating our own curriculum and developing our lessons so we can have that multicultural perspective and, you know, providing more learning experiences where students can see themselves in the materials. And so in order to do that, we have to, you know, really look for resources that are, and then construct our own curriculum. So that takes quite an effort. And so that we need that extra social studies coach in order to help with those efforts. Thank you. Mr. Heiner. Sorry, quick question. These coaches, are they part of the UNIDAE? Yes. Yes. So they wouldn't have any evaluative responsibilities or communication with principals and things of that nature regarding evaluations, am I correct? No, they would be, again, instructional coaches, you know, working on improving things that, you know, areas that teachers want to work on and setting goals, that sort of thing. No, they would not be part of the evaluation process. Thank you. Dr. Allison. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mason. And I don't know if your presentation is already a novice, but if not, if we could get it in there, that'd be great. I guess one question, well, not a question, but a point is, I wish we had something that showed us as we do these ads, have an idea of what the base is. Because it's just hard for me to get a good picture of how much effect we're given, how much effect we're getting with these things, not knowing. I mean, I know some of this stuff, but it's just, it's hard for me to keep it all in my head and compare all at the same time. So that's one kind of wish list thing for the actual budget book. And then another question is, I felt like one of the things that we've heard as a concern during the pandemic is that math, especially has been not living forward as much as we would like. And I feel like I'm not seeing this as reflected in the positions here. And I'm just, and especially knowing what I remember from the basis that we're not as strong in math in terms of manpower as we are in literacy. So I'm just confused. Could you repeat that last part again? My recollection is that we don't have as many bodies, math coaches and stuff as we do literacy. I mean, it's gotten better, but we're not, we don't have as many. And I thought that I had heard that math, especially has been an area where we're kind of behind because of the pandemic. And looking at the positions being added, I don't see those two facts reflected in the ads. So what, I guess I'm, what would you like? I would think we would need more math support. I mean, more math support in terms of people. And I'm not seeing it here as much. Are you talking about math interventionists? Like, because like, and I wanted to come in two rows, I just asking so I can, I can understand exactly what you're asking. So we have the coaches that support instruction. And then we have math interventionists that provide direct intervention to students. So I just want to make sure that I'm understanding what you're asking. And I'm saying it could be either of those things. Okay. I'm saying I don't, I feel like there's not as much energy put into math, I mean, in terms, we don't have as much push in math in terms of people given what we've been hearing about the issues in math. All right, but it depends on what you're talking about because we have more math coaches than we do literacy coaches right now. We have four literacy coaches in the district. So we have more math coaches. And I don't, and I think maybe you're referring to, I don't, and I'm gonna make sure I'm understanding you. You're talking about more, more direct services to students, right? It's the whole thing. Okay. It's not just, it's not just what we're trying to do is enhance math instruction next year to try and catch up, right? Yes. Because we're behind. And so it's both interventionists and coaches, it's what we're, we're trying to do that. I didn't realize that we didn't have as many literacy coaches now as we do math coaches. So that's where having a picture of what we have would be helpful. Okay, perfect. I can definitely get that for you. So like what you want is like an organizational chart of what the math department looks like and what the organizational chart looks like with the literacy department as it relates to elementary literacy and elementary math. Or do you want it for like the whole district or is that a specific level? The whole, no, the whole thing. As much work chart as possible, that would be great. Perfect. Okay, thank you. I just wanted to make sure I'm giving you, I'm sorry for the questions, but I just wanted to make sure that was responding and understanding what you were asking for. If I could add. Go ahead, Mr. Mason. So I appreciate also the comment. We do have 3.2 FTEs in the budget that's geared towards some level of math support. And then we do have various reserve positions. Not necessarily that it's gonna address directly a standard classroom, spaces do eventually become limited in that sense too, but that those reserve positions can also be used for the math, math support that we need. But I think it's good that you bring up that point. The other, the point I want to make to address the position or giving the base idea of the positions. In hindsight, after you mentioned that, you made that statement, said, wow, it'd been great to kind of provide some kind of baseline FTE count in the presentation. So I will do, I will look at providing that something like that in the future. Typically in the budget book, we do provide a position schedule. I can look at how to have it arranged based on department or program so that you can see exactly what you need. And the difference this year when I was planning on how I was gonna present that was that I was gonna show what was, I had originally in the base 21 budget, what was the actual in 21, because 21 was a very unique year and we did a lot of ads. And so part of my, I had to do a lot of analysis and looking at where we did ads compared to what I thought we were going to have. And then showing the additional positions that we're adding this year. So you'll see that the schedule will be slightly different to reflect that. And I think that will give you a better understanding of the base positions. Seeing that, okay, this is what we thought was in the base of FY 21. This is what actually happened this year in all the adjustments. And then this is what we're currently rolling over and adding. That'd be great. Thank you very much. Anybody else? Great. Thank you, Dr. McNeil and Mr. Mason. Great job. Looking forward to continuing along our budget calendar as presented by Dr. Allison Ampe and the budget subcommittee. We forge ahead and are now on a new row. So that's great. Keep it on track, which is great. Okay, the next item on the agenda is vote to approval of the town appropriation number, the town appropriation in the amount of 80 million, 104,634 dollars. So moved. Second. Discussion. Seeing none. Let's vote. Ms. Eksten. Yes. Mr. Cardin. Yes. Dr. Allison Ampe. Yes. Mr. Thielman. Yes. Mr. Shlipman. Yes. Mr. Heiner. And I am also yes. Next item is the Chief Information Officer Recruitment Process. So it sounds like Dr. David Good is retiring. So Mr. Mason, I was wondering if you could give us an update on where we're at with that process and how it affects the schools briefly. Yeah, no worries. First, if I could say, I really, it was a pleasure to work with David. We had a link before me coming here to work in Arlington of a person in common. And he's been really, he's always been supportive and responsive. So he's gonna have big shoes to fill. So in a memo, it kind of briefly states the process in which how we're gonna select the Chief Information Officer. And so far has been a very collaborative process up to this point, which is very important since David and the whole IT team has provided substantial support to the school department. And especially even this year when we needed all the devices for having the students that are remote and knew the teacher refresh devices. It took a lot of work. So currently the position has already posted. The first start after that process, the town HR and a select group will review the resumes and do that initial screening process. And then we'll be represented in the process. We have the school department representative, which will be me, will be part of the second round of interviews. And then the final step will then be, will send a final list or final lists to a selection interview with the town manager and the superintendent. And so the goal is to have the selection completed by late April. And obviously we would like to treat our selected finalists with the same courtesy we expect from them. So if all goes well, best cases we could have a selected finalist start in the role as early as May or early in May. And it may be later if the individual may have certain project that they're currently working at on in their current employment obligations. And currently we do have Dan Sheehan. He's the interim. And so I think that basically sums it up. The implications to the school department is that we'll have a new CIO like the end of this process and hopefully they can meet and be a substantial part of the team as David was. And I'd just like to say that it was a pleasure to work with David as well, coming in as the assistant superintendent and looking at how we could merge instructional technology with the technology department. With him we created an integrated technology team. And so that's why I think that through his management and leadership, we were able to do that. And then just the distribution of over 900 devices over the past year, even more than that and keeping track of the inventory and making sure that it got in the hands of students all because of David and the way that his team responded. So I just wanna definitely highlight him where we're giving him accolades at this point and say that he definitely served the district and the town very well. And it was a pleasure to work with him. Thank you. Questions or comments for Mr. Mason? Mr. Thielman followed by Mr. Schuchman. I just wanna echo, I've known Dave good for a long time now and he was an outstanding partner of the school district and I just wanna use this opportunity to thank him for all he's done for us. Mr. Schuchman. I concur, David was very good and now that he's gone, there's no good. But I'd like to get a copy of the job description. Yes. Mr. Mason, could you provide that to us through Karen? Yes, I could. Also, I meant to say that there was slight adjustments. I didn't miss that in my notes that there was slight adjustments to the job description. So you'll see that because David did, in his position, it grew over time. He gained a lot more responsibilities. So we had to adjust that with the town. Anybody else? Mr. Cardin and then Dr. Allison Ampe. Thank you. So I saw this on the select board agendas. I just wanted to make sure that we were aware of it as well because it's an important position for the district. But I also noted that they hired a new facilities director which I did not know they were going forward with. So it would be good for us to, those positions are shared. So they're a little bit unusual. The superintendent is sharing in the decision making and in the process, but it would be useful to be notified as with any department head position that's being filled. Thanks. Dr. Allison Ampe. I guess I'm wondering where will this position live? Will it still be completely shared or will it, is it going one way or the other? Mr. Mason, or yeah, Mr. Mason, do you have any? No, it's still going to be shared. There's no change in the arrangement that we have between this department or the staffing model. So if the current staffing model is that there is a chief information officer and then there are two assistant directors, one specifically that supports the schools and one's more for the town side. And so Dan Sheehan has been serving as the assistant director on the school side and we've worked closely with him over the time and as well, he's currently sitting as the interim currently. Okay. I guess one thing when I looked at the recruitment and hiring process, I felt like there was a lot of representation more from the town than from the schools. And I don't know if that's a problem or not because I don't know how far apart our interests or not so much interests, but our needs are, the things that we call upon the information technology officer to do versus what the town calls on. And I'm just concerned that it seemed like the first screening doesn't have any representation by the schools. And then the second one has two thirds town, one third schools. And then, you know, then we're down but you've already weeded out a bunch of people and I just don't know. I'm trying to make sure that our needs are well represented in the applicant or well represented in terms of picking candidates to bring forward. And I was a little concerned about how this was set up that I wasn't sure that that was true. So. Can I share? So I appreciate that those statements. It's interesting, the process is very similar to how we selected the facilities director. And I felt that the school department did get our voices heard in that selection in terms of the initial screening out process. It's really, well, who they bring in an interview, we're not necessarily at the table, but that initial screening process is really streamlined to the point where nobody's seeing the names is really a impartial process that I believe I have confidence in that we will find good candidates. And if we do not find the right candidate as we were going through the facilities director process by the time it came to where I was part of that, we weren't just gonna fill the role we're gonna find the right person. So if we didn't find some, but the right person that that second round, we would obviously go back out and look for more. So I feel pretty confident, but I will take that note and discuss with Kathy and figure out if we want to be part of that process earlier on. And I wanna apologize about Mr. Walters not being, not informing you guys about Greg Walters who's our facilities director, he just recently started. And it was a great process though in terms of finding, we had two great finalists in that process. And so I hope that we have the same turnout in this process. Thank you. Great, anybody else? Okay, seeing none, I'm watching the time. So here we go.

Hi you guys, my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel. You guys in today's video I'm going to share with you my March homeschooling update so go ahead and stay tuned for today's video. So you guys, I don't have a script for this video, normally I like come up with a script I know exactly what I'm going to say but I'm just going to go ahead and speak this homeschooling update really just from my heart. So if any of you guys are new here to my channel, again I'm Brittany, I have a 10, 3 soon to be 4 year old, my middle daughter, she's going to be 4 on the 28th of March and then I have a 2 year old.  It's really just me and I really feel bad to like stop us while we're on such a good momentum to just take a break really just because of me because my daughter, Brielle, she is just like ready to go but I'm making this update video right now because this right here is going to be our last week that we are going to be doing and then as you guys are seeing this video, we are on our spring break because I just had to put, I had to bump up our spring break a week earlier just because I really do need this mental break just for us to just finish off this homeschooling year really really strong. So you guys, like I always do in these videos, I'm gonna go ahead and start talking about the books and what we've read so far this month. So you guys, my daughter, we were reading Gone Crazy in Alabama and my daughter, she just wanted to get back to the little house series. So I was like, you know what, Brielle, we stopped that book midway. We were only like in the first four chapters. It was really really good but my daughter, she just was like, mommy, can we go back to the little house series and I say, you know what, that's fine. So we are back to on the banks of Plum Creek and probably by the time you guys see this video, we would have finished this book. My daughter, she really really loves this series and I'm not gonna lie, this one right here you guys is really really good. So far out of the little house on the Prairie series, my daughter's favorite book has been Farmer Boy and she said that this one is her second favorite that we've read so far. So we are on what the fourth book out of this series. So I don't anticipate her wanting to read any other read aloud but this until we finish the series and you guys, I just have to just swallow that pill. It's okay. I'm just happy she is enjoying like our read aloud time. So yeah. So you guys, we are like wrapping up our amazing Africa unit from the Heritage Mom blog. We have really been enjoying this. I think we only have like three more weeks left. So we will be finished with this like what the almost the last week of April will be finished with our amazing Africa and it's just been, it's been amazing. We've really been enjoying it. So here go some of the picture books that we've read with the study this week. We've read Beatrice Goat. This one was a really cute story. This one actually is based off of a true story. We also read My Rose and Pals of Coins. This one was a really cute story. So I really like that one. We also read Bringing Rain to Coppity Plain. And this book right here, you guys, it was so cute because it had like this rhyme and repetition to it. And it was a really beautifully told story. So I really, really loved this one. My daughter did too. She was just smiling the whole time we was reading this read aloud. So yes, definitely a favorite. We've also read Masa and I. Masa and I. I'm pronouncing that right. But this one was a really beautiful book that we read with our Heritage Pack. And I really loved the, I guess the way that this story was told. It was told kind of like in a third person point of view. And my daughter really had to think when she was reading this picture book. It was a really, a really beautifully told story. And yeah, I really love this one. Pretty much this story was about a young girl who lived in East Africa and she was learning about the Masa tribe within her school. And she was just imagining what her life would be like if she was a part of that tribe. And I just love the depiction, the pictures. This was a really good one. And then of course, this one is a classic. We've read, we all went on a safari when we went through our Tanzania or the country of Tanzania with an Africa. And this was another just classic good picture book that I'm happy that I have this one on my shelf as well. So you guys, those are like all of like the reading that we got up to for this month. I really feel like we did a pretty good job as far as like our reading goes. Now some things that I'm adding on into our morning basket because we are entering Easter. So when we come back from our spring break, we're going to add these ones back into our morning basket. Kind of like to switch things up. I'm putting back in a hundred favorite Bible stories back into our morning basket. This one right here goes along with masterbooks that we did last year. And we just continue on with these Bible stories. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and read a lot of the stories from the New Testament leading up until crisis death as we are going into Easter and Passover, Palm Sunday, all the things. And this is how I'm going to incorporate that like Easter study in our morning basket. I also pull back out the garden, the curtain and the cross. You guys, this is just such a beautiful picture book that I definitely recommend anyone add into their library. I really enjoyed this one and we're going to read this one this month. And then for my two little toddler babies, my mom, she purchased this book for me. She went to Ollie's and this book is just Easter stories and prayers for the young ones. And we've read a few of them so far and they're so cute. So yeah, this is for the youngins. And also that added into my morning basket. You guys master books was having like a flash sale on their books. And when I seen the email popped up, I was like, Oh my gosh, I have to get these. These are the marvels of creation series and each of these books was only $3. And I was like, I have to get them. So this one is marvels of creation. The mammals, this goes over the birds and this goes over like the sea animals. So this is just a sneaky way that I'm adding in science into our morning basket. Sometimes you know, I just really know that I want to continue to beef up our science in our home school. And this is just the easy way for us to do it. And it's so cute because even when I show the kids, the animals, my younger two, we were reading about the panda bear. And I was showing them the picture and they said panda. And even though my younger ones, I mean, they're two and almost four, they still kind of like listen along when I'm reading these in the morning time. So I'm happy that I'm adding these for like a little bit of extra science in like our morning basket. Okay, so like as far as curriculum goes, you guys, we are doing so good with our timeline. You guys, just because I'm like exhausted, I printed off or I made a copy from my school nest binder of our curriculum progress just so we can kind of like shade it in as we are reaching like the end of our quarters. I think we only have like 33 more language arts lessons. We have like 30 more math lessons till we reach our goal. So we are like really like right at that ending point and I'm really proud of my daughter and this is just a good way for me to have her like shade in so she can see like our progress where we're at where we need to be at. I think this little chart that I copied from my school nest planner, my daughter is just really excited seeing as we're getting closer towards the end. Now you guys, for language arts this month, I kind of took a break from our rod and staff. I love rod and staff, but I was kind of getting tired last week. So what I went ahead and I did was I added in go ahead, go with Poppy. Let me finish. Okay, you guys, my husband, he has the kids now. Why I finished this up. So like I was saying before, we actually took a week break from rod and staff. Our last week before our spring break, just because you guys, I was kind of getting a little bit tired. Rod and staff, it is a really short and great program, but it was just allowing me to have to think and I was just like, you know what, let me just go ahead and pull back out Fixit Grammar for this week. I love Fixit Grammar as well. Fixit Grammar is a really great grammar program where your kid, they are just going to be editing a one sentence a day and they have to find the nouns, pronouns, the who, which clause, adjectives. It just depends on whatever part of speech that you are going over that week. So I just pulled this out as a review for Brielle of everything we've already went over so far like with in rod and staff and she really enjoyed it too. And she said she really liked that. We kind of pulled this out to break up that, I guess, monotony of doing the same curriculum over and over again. And I'm finding sometimes too that instead of just taking a break, sometimes we can just change it up and pull out some of our like supplemental materials. And it's really just like pushed us along. So Fixit Grammar was just a way for me to lighten up our load for us to just make it through to spring break. So I love Fixit Grammar, you guys. It's so simple and it is very thorough for you to just be editing one sentence. I mean, for the kids to be able to look at those words and see what the parts of speech are and be able to know it right away. It's a skill that I feel like all kids should be mastering. So Fixit Grammar definitely a win in my books. So yeah, now as far as my toddler schools, you guys, like I absolutely love playing preschool and we will continue playing preschool. But my middle daughter, Leia, she just was not feeling it. Like every time like I was saying, come on, Leia, let's do preschool. She was just telling me no preschool really like this whole month. And you know what? She is three. She will be four, like I say, on the 28th. And I was like, you know what? I think I need to really take a step back when it comes to Leia. And you guys, I'm going to have like a heart to heart with you guys. Like I really feel like in a way I have been pushing Leia a little bit more than I possibly should be pushing her at the age of three really because like Leia, she has a speech delay and I really feel like I was getting to a point where I was scared that because she has a speech delay and she's not speaking the way that a lot of other kids her age are speaking, I think I was worried that she wasn't going to learn and she was going to be behind and I feel like I was just kind of pushing preschool on her maybe a little bit too soon as far as like a formal curriculum. We've always done like play-based learning and things like that. But I really feel like I needed to take a step back this month just for that. And I really need to have confidence in myself and know that, yes, this is a speech delay she has, but that doesn't inhibit her from learning because it is she is very, very advanced in some areas. But then in others like her speech, she's not so much. She actually had her speech evaluation and when her evaluation came back and I was able to see her progress from her doing speech therapy for the past two years, it just like blew me out the water just to see that progress. And I just need to really take things at the pace that Leia is at. And I think that that's just something that I need to work on within myself. And I just need to know that, you know, she will learn. It may not be on everyone else's timeline, but she's going to learn. She's going to retain. She's going to speak and she's going to get to that other side of the mountain and this mama bear, I just need to really be patient. And I just need to be confident in myself that I can do this. I set out this homeschooling journey and I know that I'm going to have to learn different learning styles. I'm going to have to meet each of my children where there are. And hopefully by me, like putting playing preschool down because I know she loves it because she had so much fun with like the colors unit, just putting it down until August. I think that is the best thing.  So like some of the things that she's been enjoying, you guys is so crazy. But this like simple Melissa and Doug activity pad. She actually finished all of these.  All she does is I don't have any left, but she just puts the sticker on the little sheets and she gets the color and she's been having so much fun with this little activity pad. I don't even bring it out if she pulls it off of her little cart, her little area, I'll do it with her if she didn't, I didn't. But this was something she's really been enjoying. Something else that has been enjoying is as she's been watching Brielle like do her handwriting skills in the morning. She wants to do something too. So I pulled this back out of my shelf. I've had this for a while. This is actually my second book I purchased for her just because she completed it the first time and she loved it so much. I just got it again and it's just these big letters.  So this is something else she's been enjoying this month. Something that's really crazy that Lea has been enjoying is she has been like really enjoying math, not so much like the other things, but I have been really having fun doing preschool math at home with her as like hands on activity play base as well. And then something else that I recently pulled back out that I used with her when she was like earlier at the beginning of August, I used this with her which is like her learning binder. I pulled this baby back out and she is just having fun with this. And again, I just leave like all of these things like on our little cart for her, her preschool cart. So she can just pull these out. So she's been really enjoying doing these. I actually recently like separated the binders and I put some like age appropriate stuff for my youngest daughter, Alana. And I just have some things that Alana likes to do as well just so they can have their own book because you guys like these toddlers, like they fight over everything. So they both have their own like a learning folder and I just pulled out just some different like interactive things that they can do if they want to do them. And I think that that is what I'm going to do for now. Like I have cut out like our calendar time and like all the things that I was doing with them. The only thing that my toddlers do right now is really Bible. And if they want to pulse like these interactive notebooks and like some color and sheets off of their preschool cart, that's really all like I do with them for right now. I really just need to stop comparing my children to other children that I'm seeing on the Internet. And I really just need to meet them where they're at. And I'm going to just be honest, like I am very guilty for that. And I just don't want to kill my daughter's love for learning. I don't think I have, but I just want to, like I said before, just meet her where they're at. So you guys, like really, that is everything that has happened in March. We're tired, we're ready for the school year to end. And yeah, you guys, so as you guys are seeing this video, I have about 30 more days that I need to record for the state of Georgia for our homeschool. So we're looking at finishing our homeschool year around May 13th. If my daughter finishes curriculum before then we will just kind of like play and have fun until then. But that is like our end date. So it is near. We are almost done with our second year of homeschooling. So you guys, thank you so much for watching today's video. I hope you enjoy here in my update. As always, let me know how your homeschool is going.  Just let me know down below. Thank you guys so much for watching. I look forward to seeing everybody in my next one. Bye.

How's it going everybody dato do it here with some more ranked matches and if you look down you might see Ya boy is no longer a Majin. He's a Super Saiyan God I put some time in offline with this team They're offline off-camera. I guess I should say off recording And man, it was just a lot of fun But now we're back I wanted to get up to Super Saiyan God for you guys because honestly, I felt the pressure jam crops hit it Rufo monger hit it. I was I was looking around like oh this Well, that's ain't good All right six frames, but we're dropping fast. That's good. All right back to three frames feeling steady All right nice Okay, I really don't want to do anything too reckless here. Oh, we didn't hit the bar That's bad. We could have gotten a sliding knock down there That's fine though. That's fine Oh, he reflected light. How do you reflect light? It was generated from my head Okay, I thought that would be a little safer. This guy's not playing any offense. All right, we get the sliding knock down This is where the mix-ups come in Unfortunate timing on my dragon rush there. I think we would have hit it if he didn't have six years in a day to uh What no tech? Excuse me, sir, but if you ain't feel like teching then I guess that makes me so caliber. Wow, that was awful There's somebody that knows nothing about fighting games that that that's that might as well have been in spanish for them Oh, all right, we get hit by a key blast. That's no big deal. We're going down. I'm a tech down too Mmm Curse me and my my Hyperactive ways we're out We are in fact out. We're back dashing. He caught us on the back dash. We get the reflect. We're out of there Oh, that was the stupidest way I've ever gotten hit. We're back dashing. Oh, but last time you did that Oh, I gotta make a video on a pattern and conditioning more That's unfortunate that I got hit there because that would have been really good for me We run what is the option good at he's good at running so we flee This guy is not this guy's just blocking dude. He's a very passive player And I don't even think that's necessarily good for him.  He he is not getting hit Oh, wow. Okay, I didn't expect that I expected more like a punch But I guess that just goes with where who he's dropping a lot.  So he's like he's trying to pay respects He's like let me drop some combos here Oh, we just clean over the kamehameha And we're just in range to get the full auto combo out of yamcha in the air So that we're looking at a done super saiyan goku All right, so our odds of winning this right now are pretty high We have yamcha assist in the back and even if we have to call in yamcha for goku to heal That's still a very great beam assist and that's our turn. We're going over Going over for that cross-up. We're not going to do anything too fancy here Let's just save the bar in case we need to go in the defensive a little later right now Oh, that could have been something very bad. He's playing too passive. He's playing too passive. Okay I wanted to drag it rush really bad, but I also just didn't want to back dash See the next time he does that next time he vanishes on me Unfortunate see that wasn't even a bad. He that wasn't a bad move He was just unfortunately a little too My ki blast didn't come out Damn topsy turvy going around up up Up Okay, I spammed some buttons there. Oh nice dragon ride I really thought once he whiffed that air dash He was going to try to like stick out a light or something That's fine. Yamcha is coming out, but he does have level three sparking. So I'm not too afraid It's definitely a bar dock. So, you know, I probably should be a little more afraid than I am Excuse me.  Now I'm panicking now. I'm the one who's panicking Oh my god. I'm just getting super dash because I'm playing like a real buffoon dragon rough That was so unfortunate. Hello Okay, if I would have lost this game, I would have been peeved, dude I would have been beyond peeved Oh my god, I would have had to delete my channel. That was That was literally I've never seen someone have that much time to tech. Okay, so It's not it's not me from what I'm seeing Uh, it will be up to our opponent whether or not he I like the sticker man Actually, do I have that sticker? Classic Yamcha stuff makes super dash such an even more amazing tool and we're in Oh, he wasn't blocking low That's gonna cost him And we're just gonna you know what we're just gonna go for the hard knock down here And we might we might just throw in a little dragon rush.    Really slowed down there on the air dash. Oh, that was a couple ticks We definitely weren't surviving that not even close Unfortunate that we got hit by the Vegeta there. Oh, what are you doing? Huh? Okay I got hit by the Vegeta assist. I didn't even notice. I was looking more at my opponent than me You never want to do that and that kind of situation. Oh, why do I back dash super dash so often? Okay The game gives it to me So we're just gonna go straight out into a wolf fang fist the best of both worlds We get Goku in the back to heal up and And I get to hit him with another one of these babies. Oh I told you it was potent. I told you it was potent. You guys just didn't believe me That's uh, oh, it's a lot of that's I'm gonna hit him with that every time behind the back instantly Yep Yamcha Yamcha's crazy Oh, he just wasn't blocking there. He was trying to stick out a button I don't blame him. I probably would have done the same in that situation Ah, you can't super dash at that angle my man Yamcha Looking good my man a little bit of sparking a little bit of dive kicks You know, I like to see it. We're getting points. We're getting points So let's keep getting them points Let's keep going. Oh my god I tech down. I tech down right into the beat. Yo, that's my boy. Oh god The whole squad can get it. He said every earthling on your team is getting it. Oh I'm playing like a genuine scrub right now I like what I'm seeing a little bit of an extension probably should have tech down. We're oh, I tried guard That's a miracle. Yamcha saves the day Okay, that's fine. I'll take that any day the week. Honestly, no super Up He didn't do anything Vegeta to sit I got Vegeta assisted Ah, does Vegeta really assist them or does he assist me?  I'm playing like it.  Why am I throwing out so many beams? He's dropping a lot though Oh, and he fakes the overhead goes low. I gotta open up this this round. What the I've just I stake it because I'm I'm rushing things. You remember how I said he was passive It's because I had that impression of him that now I end up like this Just getting rushed down. Okay. I'm glad that hit. I was just kind of eyeing that up Now we've hit him with the dragon rush every time. Oh, that was such a bad option I had no bar to make that even Remotely safe. That was not even an option. He should have been worried about and he was not Yeah, super bad by me. Didn't realize I didn't have the bar there. We're getting We're getting an optimized damage here We do have sparking still not too worried about it All right, let's go I wasn't blocking I held that b Roundabout roundabout Okay, I should have stuck in a button there now. We're in here for we're in for life I will take it level one sparking and he falls instantly You'll love to see that happen unless you're him or you're rooting for him Then you ah I don't know why that thought made me laugh so much Like so it clicks on this video like come on supersonic Oh, and I clicked in it. I mean if you are rooting for him, this is this is a round boy I hope you got the popcorn out your boy is getting destroyed Three bars. Do we use it for the mix up? I'm gonna go ahead and say not it's not like Goku has Why am I throwing out bad beams that bad this round is just the subtitle bad beams Every single beam I've thrown out has been terrible. That's not gonna kill but it might as well All right now we're instead of throwing out bad be oh I saw the yellow aura around him thought it was a key blast My brain works on very My brain works on very loose connections obviously Yeah, you earned it man. You were you weren't in that round All right, let's let's play a little defense here Just a little doesn't have to be too much defense Just just you know a good amount of defense here Oh, and he sticks out a button beautiful Okay, I did block that thankfully He gets a button after that. I didn't know that All right, we in there I'm not sure if I could have gotten anything better there Oh, and he's trying to wake up buttons here. So the change of game plan has definitely Uh thrown him for a loop here Let's see does get two. We're not getting two. We're not getting two. So let's just go for three We're not getting two. We got to take the three All right, so bar doc the person that posed there's so much trouble for taking out with a simple I change the game plan here. Oh my god All right, we probably should have switched krillin back in but that's no problem. We'll just get him in now All right, that's good. That's good We are going to get a level three hard knock down here if we choose to do so I don't Because it's krillin time Check your calendars and your watches probably your watches first Get him out of here. I've always liked this stage more. Oh Oh, I only blocked one of the overheads wasn't prepared for that second one I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I'll be on a tech down Random wake up level three It ain't random if it works every time, baby. Oh dragon rush You got to keep it majestic. Let's go another one This time though. I'm sparking watch this read I was wrong He should have really I think he should have sparked though Like I don't think I don't think there was anything I could have done that really scared him there other than my sparking read But that's not even worth the thing. That's three. That's three games. So we went three and out. Wow What a kind of anti climactic way to go but I think he actually knows Oh, we got the thing All right, finally I can do some stamps All right. Well, let's say goodbye to this guy. It was a great couple of matches We did reach Super Saiyan God. I will continue to play maybe and hopefully we can get to Super Saiyan blue That would be crazy.

So guys I am back with another Diablo 4 video and you know when Blizzard said they nerfed all dungeons in this game? Well guys I believe they forgot one because the dungeon I'm going to show you today is without doubt the best XP farm I have seen in this game. This one will receive a nerf, this will pick up and everyone will start covering it and it will receive a nerf. But guys get on this while you can because it's utterly unbelievable. How's it going guys? My name is DPJ and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you're seeing when you see more be sure to subscribe. Okay so the dungeon is called The Demon's Wake and it's located right here on your map. Now I actually found out about this dungeon via a video sent to me on my discord by my pal. The video went to a youtube channel which run by a dude called RoyalCobbsTV. Now full credit to this dude for uploading this video so the world can see this incredible farm. So I'll link his channel down below, go check him out and show him some love. So yes Demon's Wake people is utterly unbelievable. So when you get here guys you'll start off in this area here. Now the layout is normally the same seven or eight times out of ten. I mean sometimes obviously you know that RNG at these places can be utterly unbelievable. But the first part guys when you get into this you need to just basically ignore all the enemies and take out the two things you need to take out. I can't remember what they're called but you're seeing it on the screen. Now there's two of them you need to take them out and once you do guys you come back to this door right here. Now there will be sometimes a shrine event up in this area. I mean I always recommend doing those events. They're amazing you might as well do them. There isn't one don't worry about it just run to the door. I have to destroy the two things you need to do for the objective then run through here. Now once you're in here guys and maybe in the event here to progress again take it out. Once you're in this area here this big area here this is where the good stuff happens. There's no bus in this dungeon so what you gotta do is just take out all the enemies. Now when you get down to about 20 enemies left they will all start spawning on you.  Elites you name it. Now when you actually get them down to about 15-20 left more spawn on you.   This reminds me of the ruins of Erudu. The same thing used to happen in there. I thought initially that if you took out enemies quick enough more would spawn on you. It's actually just tied to a normal mechanic which we see in a couple of dungeons in the game. Now the ruins of Erudu was nerfed. It was nerfed and it's not very good anymore. This one guys works after the 1.0.2 patch where they nerfed all dungeons seemingly taking down the density of elites. This is unreal. Now if you do this in a team of two or more it will be twice as quick. You're earning easily 15-20 million XP per hour. I'm doing this on a World Tier 3. It's unreal. Obviously I think it's better as you go up those World Tiers but yes people it is absolutely unbelievable and by far the best XP farm I have seen in this game as of right now. Again get on this while you can. It's going to be nerfed. As soon as more YouTubers see this video no doubt they're going to make videos on it. I don't blame them. I mean I don't blame them whatsoever. I'll do the same thing. It's the way it works but get on it people. Get on it. As long as they give the Erudu credit that's what I really care about. So World Cups TV, credit to this dude. This channel can be linked down below. Go check him out and show him some love. But yes this is a great great farm you need to take advantage of while you can. Again it's called The Demon's Work. Now if you are new to farming dungeons in this game which I shouldn't think you are.  You will then spawn outside the dungeon door back in the open world right here. From here guys you need to go to your game menu come down to leave game. Once you've left the game and you're back at your main menu screen you then want to join back into the game. Then guys you will spawn back outside this dungeon door. You can simply just run inside of it and run to repeat the farm. If you're in a team if you're in a party the party host needs to go to his social menu and leave party. Your party host then will spawn outside of the dungeon door. He then invites you back into his party simply run into the dungeon, farm it again. It really is as simple as that people. But yes this is by far the best XP farm I've seen as of right now. Take advantage of it while you can. Guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out if you like what you're seeing want to see more be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys I will see you on that next one

At some point during the reign of King Cotton, farmers in the South Central US controlled bowl weevils with arsenic-based pesticides, and residual arsenic still contaminates the soil. Now, different plants have different reactions to arsenic exposure. For example, tomatoes don't seem to accumulate much, but rice plants are really good at sucking it out of the ground. So much so that rice can be used for arsenic phytoremediation. I mean, you can plant rice on contaminated land as a way to clear it from the soil. Of course, then you're supposed to throw it and the arsenic away, but in the South, where 80% of US rice is grown, we instead feed it to people. But national surveys have shown that most arsenic exposure has been measured coming from meat, poultry, and fish in our diet, rather than grains, but most of that is from the fish. So if seafood is contributing 90% of our arsenic exposure from food, then why are we even talking about the 4% from rice? Because the arsenic compounds in seafood are mainly organic, used here as a chemistry term, nothing to do with pesticides. And organic arsenic compounds, because of the way our body can more easily deal with them, have historically been viewed as relatively harmless. Now, recently there have been some questions about that assumption, but there's no question about the toxicity of inorganic arsenic, which you can get more of from rice. As you can see, rice contains more of the toxic inorganic arsenic than seafood, with one exception, hijiki, an edible seaweed, 100 times more contaminated than rice, leading some researchers to refer to it as the so-called edible seaweed. Governments have started to agree. In 2001, the Canadian government advised the public not to eat hijiki. Then the UK, the rest of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, then China advised the public not to eat hijiki and banned imports and sales of the stuff. Japan, where they actually have a hijiki industry, just advised moderation. What about Maine Coast seaweed domestic, commercially harvested seaweed from New England? We didn't know until now. Thankfully, only one type had significant levels of arsenic, a type of kelp, but would take over a teaspoon to exceed the provisional daily limit for arsenic, and at that point you'd be exceeding the upper daily limit for iodine by like 3,000%, 10 times more than reported in this life-threatening case report attributed to a kelp supplement. So I'd recommend to avoid hijiki due to its excess arsenic content, and avoid kelp due to its excess iodine content. But all other seaweed should be fine, as long as you don't eat them with too much rice. What does a number like this mean, though? 88.7 micrograms of inorganic arsenic per kilogram of raw white rice. I mean, that's only 88.7 parts per billion. That's like 88.7 drops of arsenic in an Olympic-sized swimming pool of rice. So how much cancer risk are we talking about? Well, just to put it in context, the usual level of acceptable risk for carcinogens is one extra cancer case per million. That's how we typically regulate cancer-causing substances. Whenever some industry wants to release some new chemical, we want them to show that it doesn't cause more than 1 million excess cancer cases. Now we have 300 million people in this country, so that doesn't make the 300 extra people who get cancer feel any better, but you have to cut it off somewhere. OK, the problem with arsenic in rice is that the excess cancer risk associated with eating just about a half cup of cooked rice a day could be closer to 1 in 10,000. That's 100 times the acceptable cancer risk. The FDA has calculated that one serving a day of the most common rice, long grain white, would cost not 1 in a million extra cancer cases, but 136 in a million. And that's just the cancer effects of arsenic. What about all the non-cancer effects? The FDA acknowledges that in addition to cancer, the toxic arsenic found in rice has been associated with many non-cancer effects, including heart disease, diabetes, skin lesions, kidney disease, hypertension, and stroke. The only reason they just stuck to calculating the cancer risks is that assessing all the other risks would take a lot of time, and that would delay taking any needed action to protect the public's health from the risks of rice. Yes, physicians can help patients reduce their dietary and arsenic exposure, but regulatory agencies, food producers, legislative bodies may have the most important roles in terms of public health scale changes. Arsenic content in U.S. grown rice has been relatively constant throughout the last 30 years, which is a bad thing. Wherever arsenic concentration is elevated due to ongoing contamination, the ideal scenario is to stop the contamination at the source. Some toxic arsenic in foods is from natural contamination to land, but soil contamination has also come from dumping arsenic-containing pesticides in the use of arsenic-based drugs in poultry production and then spreading the arsenic-laced chicken manure on the land. Regardless of why southern rice patties are so contaminated, maybe we shouldn't be growing rice in arsenic-contaminated soil. What does the rice industry have to say for itself? Well, they started a website called Arsenic Facts, no less, always got to be skeptical of any group that claims facts in their title. Their main argument appears to be luck. Arsenic is everywhere. We're all exposed to it every day, it's in most foods, so what? We shouldn't try to cut down on the most concentrated sources?   That's like Philip Morris saying, look, the only way you're going to completely avoid secondhand smoke in your life is to never breathe, and then you'd asphyxiate, so might as well just start smoking yourself. If you can't avoid it, might as well consume the most toxic source you can find? That's the same tact the poultry industry took. Arsenic and chicken? No need to worry, because there's a little arsenic everywhere. See, so that's why it's OK that we fed our chickens arsenic-based drugs for 70 years. If you can't beat them, join them.


So we really believe in having open software. But at the same time, if you have an SEO plugin for 11 million sites and you're not making any money of it, that's not possible anymore. Because the risks you take if you install a plugin which doesn't have any company behind it in SEO is pretty large. So there needs to be a solid support system. We do proper testing. We have contacts with Google. So I think it's in the best interest of the whole WordPress community that we make money from it so that we can give back to the community. And that's the thing that keeps it in balance. So we have an entire team that works full-time at WordPress Core. They only do WordPress Core. And we have been doing that for quite some time. So a large part, more than 5%, because that's the thing we say in WordPress for the future, we give back to the community. We give back to WordPress Core. And I think that's the way you can sustain the model. You can have a successful business, because we are successful, but also give back to that community that helped us grow because we've grown because of WordPress. So we should give back and make WordPress even bigger.


This paper proposes a new type of capillary valve called the valve which uses a 3D structure and a void area to prevent cross contamination when activating the valve. The valve is designed to eliminate any backflow into the valve and reduce the mixing and diffusion during the loading and trigger steps. The authors demonstrate its successful implementation in a capillary-driven circuit for the determination of benzodiazepine, showing a 40% increase in the fluorescence intensity compared to the conventional method.
