Should I run it? I just want to play the president. I appreciate so much your coming. Please do it. Not at all. I'm going to go down to the floor. That's Keith. We're going to see you there. Just do anything. Yes. That's the state. That's the state. That's the state. I'll get my shoes on. I'll get my shoes on. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This doesn't mean that I don't trust the mails. I have a letter here. I'm sorry. I have a letter here. Thank you Mr President. I will say how much we in Tuskegee institutes appreciate this and the support that you're given with current health care. I would appreciate it. Thank you for that. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. and the support that you have given me currently about this administration is back to me when it's possible. We have bipartisan strong support. Your leadership is in place. This will enable the establishment of the first such center to develop a blank contract in the country. And we're just delighted that you were able to do this on our behalf and we're so pleased that Mrs. Chapter James could be here with us today. I did have a telephone conversation with him. I was a governor in California. And when he was in charge of the appearances of our returning prisoners of war. We rode all the way from the Philippines to the North. And I called and told him that having been in another business before I was governor, that some of them would be beaten. So I realized that some of the requests for appearances really not deserving of the help of my good in any way of putting a nation to pay the service in any case but in some way to counsel on any particularly in California, I would say that it was sumptuous enough to go to the rest of the country. But as to whether they should be approved or not, I was talking to him as he was in charge of that. Nothing would have made it happen. We need to get this distinguished group in place or over in the East Room and you'll be joining them again over there shortly. Are you all going to be? They're all going to be. Yes. Yes. It's a long time now. Let me just say hello to each other now, man. I want to be sure to say hello to everybody. Nice to see you again. Nice to meet you. How are you again? Good to see you. How are you? Good to see you again. Nice to see you again. Nice to see you, sir. Janice Murray and Jack Bill. Nice to see you again. How's Bill with you? How are you? How are you? Do you ever tell you how we slipped and talked? Do you ever tell you how we slipped and talked? Oh there, in the kitchen. Where is the first person? I don't know. I see you by her time. There's everyone here. It's great. We've got an oyster in this. We've got an oyster. I've got the Swiss style. Maybe we better do it now. Because this thing may be running a little long. Is it four? I think four. I went yesterday. I know it was on yesterday. Frederick Conrad from West Chester, Ohio. Mr. President, I'm pleased to give you your registration card for the coming year. You're glad that you are continuing to be Scouting's Honorary National President. Well, thank you very much. I'm very proud and happy to have this. The next presentation is from Todd Clark from Delray Beach, Florida. He's a Nagel Scout and a Boy Scout National Youth Representative. Mr. President, this report concludes the highlights for 1983. And we are proud to report that for the fourth consecutive year, we've had an increase in membership. Well, I'm most proud and pleased to do that. I'm very proud to have this. This annual presenting of a report is one of the good things about this job here. And I'm glad to hear about the membership increase. Thank you. The next presentation is by William O'Toole of Parliament of South Carolina. He's the National Vice Chief of the Order of the Arrow. And he's going to give you a catch of scouting spirit belt buckle. Well, we'll have to thank you very much. Well, I'm pleased to have that. We'll have to hear from him first. Thank you. The next presentation is from Chilly White from Bend, Oregon. And he's the current National Explorer President and Youth Member for our National Executive Board. And he's going to give you the latest issue of the Norman Rockwell Scouting Plate, appropriately entitled, Tomorrow's Leader. Well, thank you very much. I'm pleased to have that. I knew Norman Rockwell. And last, we want to present you with a 1984 Boy Scout calendar which salutes volunteers. Andrea Elger and a floor post president from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, and Malcolm McClellan, a senior patrol leader from Seattle, Washington, are making this presentation. They were selected as outstanding youth leaders for 1983. Thank you very much. Congratulations to you. Thank you. And I know about the two major programs that Scouting has, and I commend you on both of them. I think they're wonderful. I'm interested in government politics. Yep. And we're Republican. Mr. President, thank you for your time. And I know that you're proud of these young people as we are. And I thank you also for presenting the Distinguished Youth Scout Award to someone that is very special to me, Jim Brady. Mr. President, we have two photos, one group photo, if we could come around to the side. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Why don't we do that first and then with the adults? Because we get close to the president. Okay. You want to move up three moves to your left? Okay. Why don't you get any crack? Okay. Good to see you all in the political. Well, it's rather comfortable. Thank you. Thank you. You can find it any place you go from then on.  You can't just walk down the river slope. Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President? Yes. I had a little birthday present for you. I've been waiting all day for this. This is the first model of the New Jersey in its new configuration, the first official model. And there's a plaque being prepared for it. But it is everybody involved in the New Jersey wanted you to have the official model of it then. This was in the new configuration with the new CIWS guns and the Greek commission.  And for years my greatest treasure was a World War I destroyer. And I don't know where in all our family moves that it ever disappeared. Well, they assure me that this floats in the back too. So it's been used for lots of purpose. You see the flag, it's got your flag up there.  He built two models for himself, which I still have. Well, you built the real one of this, so that's the best model you've ever built. It's your ship. Maybe I'll always go on your ship. That's right. And you'll be pleased to know I just got back from her. And she is in the best material condition. She's C2 after being out on the shakedown cruise now 10 months. She is in perfect condition. She's like a Swiss watch. It's just amazes everybody. And you know we've been rotating the crew. I was just going to ask about that. When you say that with one thing I'm very happy about the ship and then I keep thinking about 10 months. No, look, 10 months. But one of the things Cap did was to start this integration of the reserves. So we are sending 100 reserves out every couple of weeks and they let 100 active duty go back to their families in Long Beach for three weeks. And then so it's a real reserve pitching. And we managed to accelerate the delivery of the aisle, Mr. President. So it will be ready in April instead of July. So that's another, it'll be a 20th of this ratio. I love it. Very good. Sir, the task force asked you to set, because you know they had to go straight, they ran the grenade operation. Then it couldn't even stop by. They went straight to Beirut. So they sent this, they wanted to send you this when they got back from Grenada, but they never got back. So here is your, to work out in. That's a Grenada t-shirt. That's just a little note from the task force. What we ought to have. Command. We have nothing. That's a little picture of your daily workout. Right. My brass plate about the nutmeg coat. Yes. And this is their note I can respond to. Yeah. Thank you. All right. We hope it's a very happy birthday, sir. Yes, sir. All right. Very good. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, thank you so much for having us. We really appreciate it. We don't look 50 years old, do we? Let's see. This is David. This is Rita Rodriguez. She was one of our best board members. That's right. She doesn't look very well. She's half that age. This is Kim Shark. Oh, okay. I pull it for you. Yes, I think she should be stuck on the case. Mr. President. Thank you. Mr. President, good to see you. Good to see you. Thank you. I am, sir. I'm glad to see you. And this is my friend, Bonner. Russ Bonner. President of Public Affairs. Jim Hess. Jim Young. Our short board member. Well, we're particularly glad that you didn't accept that Amway Distributorship. You were an help. When I came in here, the broadcast of that night, I told the crew that I had two alternative speeches. One of them, I said, I teed off on that same joke I told them. One of them is that if they see me going door to door, I'm not soliciting votes. I'll just sell them as Amway customers. Jim said he wanted some distributorship. Well, the X in fact is 50 years old and I've done a good job for export for you. And you know what, we made a hard pitch and you were very kind to compromise and help us get the support for you that we really feel. How much is it that we funneled through there? Is it 120 or 130 billion down there? A lot of jobs, a lot of jobs. That's right. In the history of the 50 years, it's been $120 billion. And it's still so supporting the first billion jobs that when they're down there, they're still in reserves. And it's authorized each year at the Congress's top strud. It's not lost money. Authority right now. We hope to get it all back. If you do a nice book picture, they'll want us to help you take this one. He doesn't trust me with this one. Wow. We were just talking right up on your phone. Yeah, he said so many. By appointment with friends, I'm taking away if I dropped it. He said now when the picture is taken, don't bend it down so they can see the case. Sir, do you want to come over to this one? No. And you want to come over to this side? We have plenty of room. Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. We have one other thing for you, which is a little tile that you may want to open right now. And no matter where the bank, if it's a few years old. It doesn't give you the real time. You don't need to hang it up. You can just put it down for the coffee or something like that. You want it on the desk or anything. Thank you very much. Well, thank you for having us. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Yeah, we're all very proud of you. I wonder how many of you are here now. Is your father-in-law a part of our family? That's right. We're a family. Right. I think we're missing my daughter. Thank you very much, sir. Bye. Wow. Thank you. We're all pulling for you. We're pulling for you. Here's Chuck. Oh.


employment across Scotland after many generations are being significantly higher, and that is thanks to a very significant investment of around £7 million over the past three years in the five youth jobs contract. We would want to extend and focus specifically around the Lungannate area to ensure that the next generation of young people have the opportunity to get into skilled jobs in other industries, and clearly there are opportunities out there despite some of the challenges around oil and gas. That is the first thing. I think that the second thing we would want to focus on ensuring that the barriers to businesses setting up in West Fife were removed. We would want very quickly to move towards getting a good supply of employment land and perhaps a small business centre and incubator unit to ensure that businesses have the ability to make that first step from working in the garage to working in rented premises, and I am hopefully expanding beyond that. We would want to work with Scottish power on the commercial opportunities that might exist for construction and engineering firms as part of the run-down and decommissioning of the site, and clearly there will be opportunities there. Again, I would imagine that Scottish power would be keen to work with us on a meet-the-buyer supply chain type assessment. Another part of that is a deep dialogue with Hargreaves and the other coal operators, not just in Fife but in Ayrshire and all the other communities that still have open cast coal, because there is a very real and live issue around what happens to those sites. If Scottish power stops purchasing coal for Longanett, I do not think that any of them are solely dependent on Longanett, but there are a number of mines that supply a fair amount of coal to Longanett. It is very helpful. Also, I think that we would want to concentrate on the social impact of such a large closure would have as well, because not only would you lose the jobs, but then you are looking at, for example, people going to work, bus companies may be stopping, buses coming in to pick people up because there is no employment for them, so that stops, then you are not taking people into towns, so that stops. Maybe schooling levels sometimes drop in disadvantaged areas, we do not want that, so that whole social impact has to be looked at as well. John Lennon, you mentioned that there is not just an impact in Fife council area, and I wonder what conversation you already had with other local authorities and whether has Coslaw been doing any work around this in terms of the broader impact of this? You have just said that the social impact is so profound that it becomes theoretical at one level of its transmission cost, but the actual impact directly on communities is going to be massive. Is Coslaw a good vehicle for that, and have those conversations already started? There has not been detailed work with other councils. I think that they are aware of the situation, and we will be following up. The initial period has been predominantly focused on engagement with the Scottish power, national grid off-gem, to highlight the concerns of engagement with the Scottish Parliament. We will make contact very quickly. Coslaw could be useful for campaigning on national issues and national implications for coal. However, in terms of the direct, localised impact, I think that bilateral discussions with Falkirk and Clackmanus and the other neighbouring authorities to exchange views and campaigning positions would be the quickest way to respond. I suppose that it was more what resource is in Scottish Enterprise or Coslaw, whatever, to support the right initiatives around employability and supporting people from one from the actual immediate impact of jobs going to transitioning to something else. There must be expertise about that that could be harmised. In terms of Scottish Enterprise, that remit largely transferred to Skills Development Scotland when they came into being, but SE will have a view from the company development side of things. However, the bulk of the work would be done by Skills Development Scotland in partnership with the relevant local authority and in partnership with DWP. That tends to be the core of a paced response team and working potentially with local colleges for reskilling. That is the way in which it tends to operate. DWP will lead the paced response team, but the other agencies will play in and bring expertise to the table. That tends to be co-ordinated on a pan-local authority basis in a large-scale closure like this one. Okay, if there are no other questions, is there anything that you would like to add, anything that we have not covered? Do you like to go on record? Crencel Adams? Okay, in that case, I just thank you on behalf of the committee for attending and we are well aware of the seriousness of the situation for the economy and the people of Fife, so I am grateful to you for coming. We will now move into private session and have a short suspension.

I začelj, da sem se predstavljala, z vsezna, z vsezna, z vsezna, in taj tem, ko je vsezna, na evalovativno stabilitivno, je v Montinigro, profesor, v Montinigro, je to vsezna, njim je v Macedonija, pri omorom z tem, način je, the thermal analysis of the structure. But this results will be presented on next workshops together with the acceleration measurements that were conducted by the Institute for earthquake engineering from Scopium Macedonia. And this was a bilateral team in a way working on monitoring of the structure. Ominjevače started long time ago in in the moment after the first filling of the dam, it was in 1976 when the dam was finished. But later, on the basis of the measurements, on the basis of the results, new softwares were tried to evaluate the stability and useability of the structure, ker na različenju, kako je vzgleda in vzgleda, softvori, modeli, komputerne modeli ne so tako praktični, ne zelo vzgleda koralizacija in vzgleda vzgleda vzgleda vzgleda, vzgleda, vzgleda vzgleda vzgleda vzgleda vzgleda vzgleda.

Množemec nalazi tudi fizikalne kwantiti, ki so vse pomečili in izprotili iz vsej tudi potrebi strijenju, nekih, nekaj so odstavila, nič na odličenju rokmese in zelo. Množemec je zelo vzelo na konstrukciju after the initial filling and during the operational stage of the DEM. The technical monitoring was set of activities. It means development of monitoring program, installation of equipment for monitoring, regular registration of measurements, evaluation of registered values in order to define stress-strain state of the DEM and finally DEM safety evaluation. And now on the basis of the structural analysis, the detailed design and the measurements, we can decide if the structure is safe enough and we can continue with the exploitation or this structure needs some repair or some other activities. But as a first stage of all these measurements and analysis, we need to have the limit values to construct the envelopes in which range all these measurements have to be, if we want to say that the structure is safe. These first values were defined with the old computer programs that didn't take under consideration the interaction between the structure and the surrounding media, but we can see that the results of measurements are gained quite in a good range. This structure in the past was treated as one of the highest DEMs in the world, but now it's not so because 220 meters, now we have much higher concrete arch DEMs. The arch length at the crown was 268 meters, at the river bend it was only 40 meters, the crown thickness was 4.5 meters, in the base it was 45, it was constructed with 18 cantilevers and have five revision galleries, and the level of the DEM measured from the sea level was and is still 678 meters. On this slide we have points where the horizontal displacements are measured by using geodetic monitoring methods, and these points are for radial and for transversal movements in radial and transversal directions on the downstream side. On this slide we have the position of the micro trigonometric network for measuring the horizontal displacements, and on this slide we have the points where we have marks for differential leveling survey for vertical displacements of the crown of the DEM. Another geometric monitoring that was done, it was still metal, for measuring the vertical changes in the vertical rotation of the cantilevers, it was done specially for three cantilevers, 5, 9 and 14, 9 is in the middle of the DEM and is the most representative for the behavior of the whole DEM. The mechanical and telemetric monitoring includes lateral deformations, dilatation of radial joints, DEM inclination, the tilt, rock deformation, ground pressure, uplift on the base of the structure, pore pressure and concrete temperature. Lateral deformations, they are measured with direct and invert pendulums, and these results are very reliable. We will see later that the results obtained by the geodetical survey are very close and match very well, and dial pendulums were played from cantilevers 5, 9 and 14, but invert pendulums were 30 meters lower than the base joints, because in that time they gave the stresses and deformations negligible. I told that if we compare the results obtained by these pendulums in the geodetical survey, we have very good matching of the results, and we will see later on the diagrams. The dilatation of radial joints, it was caused by 45 deformations placed on 5 levels, and in derivation galleries in the country of joints. The water level and the concrete temperature gave dominant influence on the dilatation of these joints, and the extreme effects we have in autumn and in spring, when we have maximal decrease of the water level and cooling pass of the concrete. The dem inclination was defined with 35 inclinometers placed in 6 levels. The rock deformation was defined with rock-extensometers that were set at 3 levels, and with depth of temperatures set again at 3 levels. After depth hydrological monitoring was done, groundwater level was measured with 53 piezometers. Hydrological and meteorological monitoring was in connection with accumulation level, air and water measure, temperature, drainage, precipitation, and level of humidity of the air. And as I said before, seismic monitoring was done by the Earthquake Institute in Skopje, and the results of the accelerations will be present on some of the next workshops. And it is interesting to be said that seismic zone of this dem is 7, but it was treated as it was in region with seismic action 9. Here we can see on this slide the extreme, maximum and minimum values for the displacements that were calculated, and all measured values were expected to be between these two lines, to be between the envelope, inside the envelope. And these two diagrams are for the continual L9 in the middle, in the center of the archdenk, and continual L5. Here we have the water level at the moment of initial filling, last week for me, one here. And according to the water level and the temperature of the air, the measured values of the movements at the level of the ground 678 meters is the ground level, we have very good agreement with the extreme values for the movements we expected, and the real ones that were measured in that time. Only at the ends of the arch, where we have connection with the surrounding rock, because previously I said that the interaction between the rock and the structure in that time was not taken under consideration. We have differences, we have high movements, that these lines, extreme lines show. But these results now are used for calibration, the new model that is used for evaluation, the stress-transformation of the structure. This is the problem that now it is used. And with these results, the calibration is very successful. Here we have that after a period of use during the exploitation of the structure in period between 78 and 91 we have much higher values for the displacements. The comparison for that is brief and shrinkage of the concrete. And this is for the period between 97 and 2004. But again, we are in the range of the extreme values. Here we can see comparison of measured and limited displacements for the continuum L9, the central one. The first diagram is in the moment of initial filling in 1976 and the second diagram is for the period between 2001 and 2006. As I said, measurements were done with rock extensometers for the movements of points in the surrounding rock mass. And at level 6.2 we have the following results for the points it was in the period of initial filling. Again, all the movements are in the range of limit values. But after time we can see that these movements are coming close to the extreme where the maximal, not the minimal but the maximal value. The reason, as I told before, the creep and shrinkage of concrete. But again the structure is still same and can be used in a future for exploitation. Here we have results of the deflectometer and the points that are located on the right part of the slide. Here we have the position of these deflectometers. And comparison of the results obtained by geodetic measurements, tube maker and pendulum. And we can see that we have very good agreement between the results at the beginning of the exploitation and later during the exploitation stages. This is for the 2002. We have very, very good agreement between the three types of measurements. Although all these measurements are with traditional mechanical devices still reliable results we have. And with the defermeters we define the openings in the joints of the den for the different levels of water. But here we have the water level and openings of the joints of different levels of the den in the period of 95-2003. Again the results are acceptable and all these results are used in collaboration, the new model that now we are using for evaluation of stress-stress situation of this structure. And as I said, all these results later will be used when we will do the numerical analysis of seismic action of the structure. All of the conclusions I already told during my presentation are these results I use for collaboration of the project of the new model. So if there are some questions I will try to answer. Although this presentation is not totally mine because the leader of the team was professor Radem Bopeovic who is not present here today but I was part of the team so I know quite enough about all these results I will answer to the question.


What then shall we do? Some reforms are not difficult to envisage. We must purge our vocabulary. We must clean up our language to say what we mean. What is a true university? Via its libraries it is a custodian and engagement with the living past. It strives to advance knowledge and clarify critically the processes of thought. A true university serves neither political purpose nor social programs, necessarily partisan and transitory. Above all, it rebukes censorship and correctness of any kind. What we have done through political correctness, the lies we are teaching or having to accept, the questions we are not allowed to ask, not even to ask. No question of answering. Political correctness makes impossible great fields of comparative study. A university should house and it should honor anarchic provocation and the passion of uselessness. What is the most wonderful passion in the world? Uselessness.   The notion that the useless is the highest form of human activity. First and foremost we must insist on recapturing some of the ground the humanities have yielded to the sciences. Is a 21st century educated man or woman literate when in total ignorance of elementary mathematics of the concept of numeracy which organize and determine the world around us? When she or he cannot grasp such notion as a mean average and irrational, notions instrumental to our social economic existence indispensable to current debates on genetic modification, use in Asia and law. The frequent assignment to the least gifted to the most disillusion of the teaching of mathematics in our schools is a suicidal scandal. How does it go in the University of Newton and Crick? If you get a first in mathematics, you can go on to research. If you get a good second, you will enter hedge funds and banking which are very sophisticated in their mathematics.  You realize the self-fulfilling lunacy of such a system. Overnight Stalin decided that school teachers of mathematics would be paid as much as university professors and honored throughout society and he brought on the great revolution in Soviet and then in Russian mathematical literacy. It can be done. It can be done. It's not impossible. It is never too late. A core curriculum should I am persuaded, contained, and now I hope you will bear with me. This is my one very practical reform. At the center of our curriculum should be architecture. Why? It draws on mathematics, very richly of course. Geology, what are called in English the material sciences, steel, iron, wood come. It draws on environmental politics at every level. It embodies history and futurity. In architecture, the notorious gap between the two cultures is wholly abolished. Archimedes joins Michelangelo. Together they teach us, and the technical phrase is so beautiful, how to read a building. How to read a building. That is the phrase they teach. There is no aspect of law, sociology, environmental economics, but also urban politics, which architecture does not involve in our daily lives. How to read? How to read a building? How to read? Which is the center of my remarks this morning. We are learning to read together. No secondary text please. No criticism. No comments on comments on comments. Complete loss of truth. You learn to read together. And what you do at the end, and this is the end of my too long remarks this morning. The closing or rather opening motion is that of memorization. We learn by heart, parqueur, not by brain. We learn by heart. The poem or piece of relevant prose to memorize is to thank for what the text has given us. It's the only effective way of saying merci. Thank you, danke. For the inexhaustible liberality of meaning, for the miracle of sense. What we know by heart cannot be taken from us. Never forget that.


Andy Mendoza here alongside Stevenson head coach Gray Miller coach congrats on the win a big one for your guys Want to ask you real quick about the the game playing coming in was it was it so offensive forward the game playing you guys got nine corners? 20 shots on goal that was obviously a huge huge You know Momentum for the team to keep the the action on their side of the field was that something you guys talked about coming into the game Yeah, we just we really wanted a more balanced game and I think you saw that tonight You know we had a tough one against York a little day where our offense Exploded for 14 shots in the first half and then only had five in the second half So today we just talked about all right. Let's be consistent for both halves So the fact that like you said 20 shots and it was actually 10 in each half So we wanted to keep that offense obviously up. Yeah, the whole game if we could and I think You know we were able to do that tonight because we made 10 subs and we will obviously more subs But 10 other players got in you know a balanced team 21 guys you know and you know in and out in the field tonight and Being able to produce the same four or five minutes each half is exactly what we wanted tonight It's something I noticed during the game It seemed like there was buy-in defensively from all 11 players It was the forwards were coming back to help the midfielders were really active defensively in the midfield Is that something you wanted to get your guys? You know get get on your guys about a little bit more to make sure that they were a little bit more aggressive defensively and see if That couldn't turn into some more scoring opportunities. Yeah, I think we've been a little slack recently in our team defense I think obviously individually we did alright and we've been working on that and you saw that there was many blocks tonight guys getting back I mean we ended up obviously had to weather the storm the last five minutes or so when they were sending numbers forward and You know so guys in the midfield did a really good job of marking getting back And and they had a really good team and the fact that we obviously we gave up a kind of soft goal that we wish We'd did a little better But yeah overall we did the little things right for the majority of the game and that led to good team defense There's a few guys we could probably pick to point out in this one I thought Ryan Moroff had a fantastic game defensively for you guys Some of you could say about him the freshman playing such big minutes on the back end the one goal that was scored was when he happened To be on the bench. I don't think that's a coincidence But he had a great game There's something you could say about him and his growth so far this season Yeah, Ryan's just got better and better and he's actually played with a little bit of a knock He had a bad injury a few weeks ago But he just you know even when I brought him off for a little rest second half He didn't want to come off and that's good because I want players that want to be on now I'll you know give him a little rest and then we got him back in you know He's got that long throw in that one I mean I thought he was going to score what a run from him And so as a freshman he's playing above his years and you know really excited for the future for Ryan Thanks so much for the time coaching rats again on the win for more Mustang athletics You can go to go mustang sports comm
