In recent years, central banks across advanced economies have been engaged in the same task, namely raising inflation and inflation expectations back to levels consistent with price stability. Each has faced conditions particular to its own jurisdiction. Each has deployed measures appropriate to its own context. And each has acted to fulfill the mandate laid down in its own constitution. And yet, the fact that all central banks have faced a common challenge of low inflation is not coincidental. There are global factors at play. And this begs the question, what is the best way for us to deal with them? That one extreme, central banks can take global conditions as entirely exogenous and set their policies accordingly. At the other extreme is explicit coordination of monetary policies. In between is a range of informal solutions. Whatever one's views on these options, what is clear is that the question of the international dimension of monetary policy is becoming more pertinent since the common factors affecting central banks are increasing. Indeed, a growing literature suggests that globalization has created a common factor in inflation developments which goes beyond fluctuations in energy or commodity prices. Higher import volumes have increased the importance of international prices and wages relative to domestic ones, making the global output gap more relevant. In that context, there are two types of factors that are significant for the global low inflation environment we face today. More cyclical factors that have put downward pressure on prices and more structural factors that have lowered the equilibrium real rate and slowed down the response of the economy to monetary policy. The first type of factors includes the large negative output gaps generated by the financial crisis and its aftermath, which still averaged 1% amongst G7 economies today. This global slack has dampened in particular import and producer price inflation, both of which have been weak for several years among advanced economies. Prices set by producers in the Euro area and those set by producers in trading partner countries are indeed highly correlated. Also depressing global inflation has been the slump in demand for energy and commodities linked to the slowdown in emerging markets. This has fed not just into lower headline inflation, but also into lower underlying inflation through its effects on costs and imported prices. Indeed, if one decomposes inflation for the average advanced economy, one finds that since mid-2014 there has been a notable rise in the global component linked largely to oil and commodity price falls. These various factors may originate only in parts of the global economy. Some originate more in advanced economies, other more in emerging markets. But in an integrated world they have global effects. Global weakness has peeled over through various channels into a similar challenge for all. The second type of factors is more structural in nature. They concern the global forces that have led to very low real equilibrium interest rates across advanced economies and hence made it more complicated for monetary policy everywhere to provide the appropriate boost to global demand given an effective lower bound on nominal interest rates. In particular, this has led many central banks in the advanced economies to engage in large-scale unconventional policies. That low interest rate environment is a consequence of global excess of desired savings over planned investment which results from rising net savings as populations plan for retirement. From increased demand for and lower supply of safe assets. From relatively less public capital expenditure in the context of slowing population growth in advanced economies. From the secular shift from industries intensive in physical capital to those more intensive in human capital. And from a slowdown in productivity growth that reduces returns on investment. Again, those factors may not be distributed homogeneously across economies but their effects are global because they propagate through global financial markets. With internationally mobile capital the clearing interest rate that balance savings and investment is more a global concept than a local one. And accordingly estimates of the equilibrium interest rate suggest that it is very low possibly even negative in the Euro area, the U.S. and in other advanced economies. None of this means that central banks should give up on pursuing their domestic price stability mandates. We have demonstrated with our unconventional tools that it is possible to engineer accommodative financial conditions even when the equilibrium interest rate is low. And we have shown that this can be effective in supporting domestic demand and stocking domestic price pressures even when these inflationary headwinds are blowing from the global economy. But the global nature of low inflation does have two important implications. The first is that operating against persistent headwinds arising from abroad has forced central banks to deploy monetary policy with more intensity to deliver their mandates. And that in turn results in higher financial stability risks and spillovers to economic and financial conditions in other jurisdictions. Such spillovers are not necessarily all negative for the global economy. On the contrary by securing economic and financial stability in their own jurisdictions advanced economies also help stabilize other economies through trade and financial linkages. Empirical evidence suggests that the net spillover effect of the measures taken during the crisis has been positive. Especially at times such as after the Lehman crash when countries have faced common global shocks. At the same time monetary policy has inevitably created the stabilizing spillovers as well especially when business cycles have been less aligned. The large exchange rate fluctuations between major currencies and the pressures some emerging economies have experienced from capital flows are testament to that. This is not so much a result of the measures central bank have employed but rather of the intensity with which they have had to be used. These negative spillovers have led to a revival of interest in the topic of monetary policy coordination. Their formal monetary policy coordination is complex for well-known reasons. Central banks have national mandates not global ones and are accountable to their domestic parliament. This doesn't mean however that we cannot achieve a better global solution than we have today. We have seen for instance how divergent monetary policies among major central banks can create uncertainty about future policy intentions which in turn leads to higher exchange rate volatility and risk premia. That then has to be countered with more expansionary monetary policy increasing spillover effects for others. We also know that competitive devaluations are lose-lose for the global economy since they lead only to greater market volatility to which other central banks are then forced to react to defend their domestic mandates. So we would all clearly benefit from an enhanced understanding among central banks on the relative paths of monetary policy. That comes down above all to improving communication over our reaction functions and policy frameworks. The global economy could also benefit from cooperation among spillover initiating and spillover receiving economies on how to mitigate unwanted side effects. One aspect that we need to understand better is how domestic monetary regimes affect the transmission of foreign monetary policy shocks. There has been a debate in recent years as to whether the famous trilemma of international macro has collapsed into dilemma whereby floating exchange rates no longer guarantee autonomy for domestic monetary policy and policy independence is only possible if capital flows are in fact managed. But there is also evidence that exchange rate regimes still matter. As recent studies support the traditional view that exchange rate flexibility affords at least some degree of insulation from global shocks. Another aspect is understanding the role of domestic policies more broadly in mitigating negative spillovers. A large body of empirical work in recent years has shown that fiscal, macro prudential, regulatory and supervisory policies can help mitigate the adverse effects of foreign monetary policy on domestic financial stability. Indeed the relatively recent experience with the so-called taper tantrum in 2013 showed how differences in domestic policy frameworks shaped how severely different economies were affected by financial spillovers. In other words it has become clearer since the crisis that the famous Timbergen principle which we apply at the domestic level also needs to be applied at the global level. Policy makers need to have sufficient instruments to deliver on their objectives and they do and they do have them and when they do have them they must use them. The second implication of the global nature of low inflation is that there is a common responsibility for addressing its sources whatever and wherever their origin. Indeed to the extent that the environment in which we operate is more affected by the global output gap and the global saving investment balance the speed with which monetary policy can achieve domestic goals inevitably becomes more dependent on others on the success of authorities in other jurisdictions to also close their domestic output gaps and on our collective ability to tackle the secular drivers of global saving and investment balances. In a recent speech in Brussels I made a similar point regarding the interaction between monetary policy and other policies at the domestic level such as fiscal and structural policies and there I maintain that central bank independence could best be described as independence in interdependence since monetary policy can always achieve its objective eventually but it will do so faster and with less collateral effects if the overall policy mix is consistent. What I'm saying here is that the same applies to at the global level. We may not need formal coordination of policies but we can benefit from alignment of policies. What I mean by alignment is a shared diagnosis of the root causes of the challenges that affect us all and a shared commitment to found our domestic policies on that diagnosis. Today for instance the way in which domestic policies respond to a shortage of demand globally will vary. In some cases the emphasis may be on increasing public investment. In others on supporting private demand through more growth friendly tax and regulatory policy and of course through monetary policy. The relative stance of stabilization policies will differ across countries depending on cyclical positions but the sign of the effect on global demand needs to be positive. Similarly structural policies that aim at raising participation and productivity may take different forms in different places but they need to achieve the same outcome which is to increase long term growth rates and raise equilibrium real interest rates. Here fora such as the G20 can play a useful perhaps essential role in bringing about the appropriate alignment of policies. It is key that what is agreed in those fora is translated in the concrete policy actions. For example there is a point in outcome of the G20 commitment to raise global growth by 2% with structural measures is one example of how intentions and actions can diverge. It contrasts with the more successful example that was provided by the coordinated global fiscal expansion in 2008-2009. Such fora of course cannot bind countries into specific actions but mutual recognition of their common interests can act as a form of coordination device. That common interest today is a faster closing of the global output gap, more stable global inflation, higher long term global growth and greater global financial stability. And such an improved policy mix would help reduce unwanted side effects of monetary policy since the burden of stabilization would be better shared across policies. For instance in the current environment of global slack the international spillovers from growth friendly fiscal policies are likely to be wholly positive since they primarily boost domestic demand in the home country. That is also true within regions such as the Euro area where there are different local output gaps. The upshot is that in a globalized world the global policy mix matters and will likely matter more as our economies become more integrated. So we have to think not just about whether our domestic monetary policies are appropriate but whether they are properly aligned across jurisdictions. We have to think not just about the composition of policies within our jurisdictions but about the global composition that can maximize the effects of monetary policy so that our respective mandates can best be delivered without overburdening further monetary policy and so as to limit any destabilizing spillovers. This is not a preference or a choice, it's simply the new reality we face. Thank you.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com here coming at you with 2021-22 panini noir basketball brand new release two box pick your team number two just dropped today a Lot of great stuff in here.

Hello, please welcome on my presentation about how to find vulnerabilities in VMAS. And so let's start. So what is the VMAS? Yeah, we know the VMAS is actually pretty lame name. And nobody from us really likes it, but we continue with it. It was just first thing we started using, and yeah, it's with us forever. And actually it's for vulnerability metadata as a service. And it just means it's an API service, it's a SQL service, and it's completely stateless, and it's not authenticated. And its primary goal is to find vulnerabilities for RPM-based systems. And we do that based on static evaluation of the package profile of given systems. And so it doesn't take into account any mitigation applied on that system. Yeah, and there are also secondary goals that VMAS provides. And these are for providing metadata about packages, repositories, erata, CVs, and so on. And so what are these technical details about VMAS? So it's a set of microservices written mostly in Python. And we are using Postgres database. And this set of Docker containers is developed using Docker Compose or using OpenShift. And we are not, from the web applications, we are not directly connecting to the database and fetching data. We are using some pre-computed structures to achieve higher speeds of getting results. So here I will just explain the architecture. We currently have five containers. User can access publicly two containers. This is the web application, this is the main and three-point for APIs, and API doc container for just getting some insights on how it works. And in the backend we have a repo scan container, which is used for scanning repositories and fetching CV repositories and so on. And the repo scan and the web application is communicating on internal web circuits. And the repo scan component is the only component that's actually touching the database. And also the repo scan component is pre-processing data from database and making it available from the web application. Also the repo scan component has its own API, which can be authenticated and is used by administrator to add to repositories or CVEs. There are a couple of endpoints. I can show you more. OK, so the updates API is the main API to get vulnerabilities of your package profile. And we have all APIs in variants for get request and post request. Request is always to get updates for single package, or updates or details about single CDE, to get the details about single repository, get details about single eratum, and so on. And the post request is used to get these things for multiple entities at once. So if I look it on that more, it looks like that. In the request you can specify package list and repository list and release words, base cards. And these three attributes are not actually required. There are some mechanisms that will guess the repositories and related products and will return you some available updates, even if you don't specify these three things. And this is how the response looks like. For some old package you will get available updates so you will also find out in which repository you will find this update, of course. And also you will receive all necessary details about the updated package and also the eratum, which will provide this package. And then you can take the eratum and you can ask about details about this eratum, which will return you, for example, affected CDEs or some descriptions and metrics. And the same for CDEs API. There are also some CVSS scores and so on. And yeah, these are the APIs we are using, we are providing. These are public APIs. And for administrators we have, of course, the APIs for adding repositories or synting repositories and CDEs and other utilities for managing the VMAS instance. Okay, so, and we in eratum are providing one public instance of VMAS, which basically contains metadata about everything Red Hat is providing in Red Hat subscription management. And this is about 18,000 repositories. Basically, it's mostly about, I don't know how many content sets multiplied by different architectures multiplied by different release versions. And in these repositories is contained about 1,800,000 packages. And they also store here the CVS obtained from list and from Red Hat CVFs. And I can show you a demo, how to use that. I tried to write some simple script, which will, is it visible? Or can I make the font bigger? Okay. Okay, this is the REL 6.9 server, which is basically basic installation, not updated base minimal package set. And it's 6.9, so it's like, I don't know, one and a half year old. So there will be multiple vulnerabilities. So I have here VMAS report tool, which is something client, which will contact the VMAS server and provides the package list of this system and tries to get available updates. Calls few APIs and displays it on the output. This is just a simple tool, basically. It's available on Wi-Fi. And here I will just display some details about currently configured VMAS server, which is display version and the version of data provided here. We see it was changed like today at 3 AM last time. And so I will just, on the system, I will run this tool. And I will get a list of vulnerable packages I have here on this REL 6.9 server. It's quite a lot, but not that much. And here list of unapplied security advisories and also list of CVs, which are fixed by these security advisories. It's just a simple listing. Actually, in the data return, you can also assign the CV. You have also CVs assigned to Erata. And you can see here all these associations, what's fixed by what, and so on. It's a simple listing. Yeah, this is on REL 6.9 server and I have also an example on REL 7.4, which is also more than one year old and just a bit different set of data. So we don't have any Fedora or other repositories synked in our REL 7.4 instants, but it's possible, definitely, to sync anything. But yeah, there is definitely some luck in the support of the SUSE repositories and CentOS, because there is no update, there are no update info provided by default. But yeah, it may change. We may support for also different sources in future. And we have a couple of challenges we need to solve in Vimas, but also we try to solve most of them, but not every problem has some easy solution, so some of these problems are not fixed yet and maybe they will never be fully fixed. For example, we need to choose between speed and what everything we will cache and how much memory it will actually web application use, because we try to cache as much as possible in the web application. Is it better? Is it better somehow? Okay. Yeah, this is the problem about speed and caching and memory usage. Our web application containers are taking more than 1 gigabyte of memory and it contains one, almost everything we need to return to users. And yeah, it's quite difficult to balance the cache data and the speed and the memory usage. So the second issue is, for example, the automatic product and repository updating, because if we store, for example, 80,000 repositories and if there is no mechanism to tell these repositories are updated, these repositories are static files on some HTTP server, just some metadata stored in repo data directory and it can be time-consuming to download all refreshed metadata. So about that we can try to optimize that. And another problem is there are differences in CV metadata if we take this CV metadata from different sources. For example, if we take the CV metadata from Red Hat and we take this CV data from List or Mitre, so all of these organizations are using different metrics for example CVSS score and these numbers are different so we need to choose which value we will use. And another problem is our inconsistencies in repository metadata and this is the endless problem because even between Red Hat repositories there are differences because every repository metadata were generated at different point in time so they can be in different format you can use different checksum for packages and can use some different time stamps there are basically many problems with that in general but it's getting better slowly but it's getting better so this is some challenges we need to solve and what's the future of VMAS basically what everybody can VMAS use for it's an API service so it can be easily integrated with some other projects mostly it's useful for system management projects or content management projects and actually the VMAS is already used in Red Hat Insights and there are some ideas how to use it in Red Hat Satellite maybe in future and basically these are some internal Red Hat projects where this VMAS can be used for so that's it do you have any questions? so the question was if the project is open source yes the VMAS itself is open source so you can deploy it as you want in your environment any other do you have any time frame that you want to integrate VMAS into Red Hat Satellite? so the question was if there is any time frame to integrate VMAS with Red Hat Satellite I think there are no concrete time frames for this and this was just an idea so it's not planned yet and it's not sure if it will be planned but it was just some discussions do you have any plans to going to the FEDORA REBUS? sorry? do you have any plans to going to the FEDORA REBUS? yes also the question was if we have any plan to pull FEDORA REBUS yes yes we definitely have plans we also contained FEDORA REBUS in our stable instance but we had some issues with that because the packages were colliding but it was probably resolved already but we did not update do you have any time frame? I don't know ok please say again the question was if we can store if we can scan devices in future what do you mean by scanning devices? we are using RPM based evaluations so there were some plans to investigate how we can integrate with other scanning vulnerability projects but currently there are no plans to scan differently in VIMAS than using RPMs ok ok so the question was what effort is needed to get for example RPM fusion into the VIMAS yes so if the RPM fusion is providing for dot xml which has provided advisories and CVs CV associative to these advisories so then it's definitely already possible to pull RPM fusion to VIMAS any other question?


An expansive desert, a thriving grassland, a fertile prairie, a humming wetland. Often we don't realize an ecosystem's many values until they begin to disappear. Hundreds of millions of people depend on grasslands, which make up more than 40% of global land cover. In Mongolia, the Gobi Desert Ecosystem performs a delicate balancing act. The rangelands supports nomadic herders and their livestock, sensitive and endangered wildlife, a massive mining operation, and a burgeoning cashmere industry. Here, the livelihoods of these nomadic goat herders are closely intertwined with the health of the rangelands. As worldwide demand for cashmere increases, overgrazing pressures and climate change impacts are threatening this vital ecosystem. These threats illustrate a global challenge for rangeland management everywhere. So how do we develop systems that work for both people and planet? The Natural Capital Project enables nature-based solutions. Stanford University scientists are working with the Sustainable Cashmere Project, a unique partnership between a luxury brand group, an environmental non-profit, and a mining company. The project was born of a shared vision for healthy rangelands and sustainable livelihoods. The Sustainable Cashmere Project is a market-based conservation project. As the main implementing partner in the field, the Wildlife Conservation Society educates and supports herders in sustainable pasture management and wildlife conservation. The goal is to lessen impacts on the ecosystem while producing a higher-quality cashmere. In return, herders in the program are offered a premium price for their cashmere will. Creating the Sustainable Supply Chain is key for global luxury brand Caring, a project funder and founding partner. Gobi-based mining company OU Tolgoi also funds the project. Motivated in part by the environmental standards of its international lenders, OU Tolgoi wants to see a net positive impact on biodiversity across the region. The main outcome from this project for OU Tolgoi is improvement of rangeland quality. The team's diverse perspectives create a unique mix of expertise and innovation to tackle this complicated issue. Changing a whole value chain is very difficult. We're trying to disrupt something that has been in existence for a couple of decades. To ensure goals are met, the project needs a high-quality monitoring and evaluation protocol. But in an area as large as the Gobi Desert, traditional field-based monitoring is time-consuming and costly. The rangeland ecosystem is really complex and it's huge landscape. We need a technology, a model that can cover big landscape in a short amount of time. To address this challenge, NACCAP is using Earth observations powered by NASA satellites. NACCAP links data collected from the field with remote sensing data. Funded by NASA, this first-ever integrated approach allows the team to monitor a much larger area more frequently and more precisely. The National Capital Project really brings a unique perspective on the environment and the ecosystem by looking at ecosystem services, which is a new approach for looking at the ecosystem for NASA. State regions of the Gobi provide sustenance for animals, sequester carbon, and lower the risk of sandstorms and flooding. The contributions that nature provides to people, also known as ecosystem services, can be modeled and mapped using NACCAP's software platform, Invest. Once we have an idea of how rangeland condition varies across the landscape, we can use that to feed ecosystem service models like we build at the Natural Capital Project in the Invest software suite. Around the world, decision makers use Invest to consider nature when planning for the future. For the Sustainable Cashmere Project, NACCAP's Rangeland Invest model lets project partners explore scenarios such as changes in livestock numbers, climate, and grazing practices. As team members implement Invest-modeled scenarios on the ground, they're able to use satellites to monitor rangeland health, establishing what actions have impact and where. Measuring and verifying impacts is crucial to the success of the Sustainable Cashmere Project. NACCAP's work verifies the true sustainability of the Cashmere supply chain. At the same time, it verifies that OU Tolgoi is meeting its biodiversity commitments and lender performance standards. Natural Capital Project helps us on finding a finer and science-based tool that helps us to measure the change we're seeking. Using market forces, financing standards, and behavior change, this pioneering partnership serves as a model for cross-sector collaboration around global land management. From development offsets to biodiversity conservation, NACCAP is exploring new frontiers in ecosystem services science. One of the things that excites me most about this project is really the opportunity to advance the ecosystem service science. By having better ideas of the ecosystem, we can get a much better picture of how the services, how the benefits to people are actually being delivered and where. Ultimately, the goal is to use this understanding and to change the way we approach ecosystem service modeling, not just here in the Gobi, but everywhere we do ecosystem service modeling. We can use Earth observations to give us a better representation of what the system really looks like and how our management can change it. In Mongolia, NACCAP's work with the Sustainable Cashmere Project is helping restore a healthy homeland for people, livestock, and wildlife. We have a lot of work to do, a lot of work to do. We have a lot of work to do. We have a lot of resources to build, and we have a lot of tools and tools to use to make more money. We really want to do that.


ssengers? I imagine that's being looked at by V-trans as well. So we do have, so what we understand is that GMT historically prefer to stay in rather than exit the travel way because by staying in, it's easier for them to merge back into traffic. If they totally merge out of traffic, it's difficult for them to jump back on the road and the way it's designed right now is consistent with the way that they're designed up and down Wilston Road. Can you, so Board, I'm willing to take this on. It sounds like our standard doesn't fit with GMT standard. How would you guys feel if I worked with GMT to figure out what's up? Mm-hmm. Article 13, I think. I just have a question. Isn't parts of Shelburne Road, the buses get out of the traveled way? Parts, yeah.  Okay, it'd be good for you to pursue this, because yeah. Can you connect me with your, can you connect me with whoever you talk to about that? Yes, absolutely, yeah. Before we get onto the phasing question, I just wondered if it's good to see the, it's nice that there's a bus stop there, although I don't know what the frequency of the bus service is there. That's a problem out of your hands. I'll leave that to some regional entities. I have a question about a lot of employees. Do you have any plans for any kind of transportation demand management, carpooling, vans, incentives that people buy a house within a mile of the building?  We have a housing crunch right now. It is, I see all these people living out and way out in the middle of nowhere and driving a Tesla won't save them. It still creates a problem of people living far apart from where the jobs are located. Yeah, boy, Dan, that's an interesting one. I mean, I'm just trying to think like it's good yet. Car charging stations, that's great, but then that reduces the, but it's still a long commute and an inefficient land use patterns, et cetera. Right, so we have included in the traffic analysis, the parking analysis, we're gonna provide carpool, dedicated carpool parking spots. We're going to pay for passes for folks on CapMut so we can do that. Certainly there'll be van opportunities. We'll have maybe even some inter company shuttles that just park at the parking garage and we'll find a way over through that using an electric shuttle. We're doing as much as we could think of before you mentioned the buy a house within a certain distance. I just, I mean, that's an interesting thought. Well, I mean, it's all part of an employee compensation package. There's people that's moved into my neighborhood over by rice that are working for you guys, I think and I like my neighborhood, but nobody should have to pay $450,000 for under 2000 square feet of an old cape. So, you know. I mean, it's all part of the thing. Like if you, it's this consistency and you have to find different ways to promote and you want employees that live close so that when it's wintertime, they're not like trying to get through on I-89 from Weitzfield or farther. Yeah, no doubt. The housing issues are one of the, the two biggest issues are housing and daycare. We feel like we're going, we're able to impact the daycare side with the way that we've planned the master plan and the opportunity there. The housing one is one that we're, we're trying to impact in different ways. We hadn't considered something like this, but we're open to any other ideas, creative ideas on. Well, and I'm also just wondering too about, like depending on what your shift schedule is. That's part of- And the GMT, for example, the GMT, I don't know what its hours are, but it's relatively limited to compare to most, you know, larger cities. So then you have to start running into running specialized shuttles or things like that, knowing who your crews and your staff are. I mean, I'm just trying to- Right, because our demand management strategy right now, we have our first shift letting off, so the four to six peak, we're trying to stay out of that. So our first shift lets off, our second shift comes on between three and three 30 to stay out of that four to six time band. But what we hadn't thought about, which is good, and we just need to make sure we coordinate with GMT is by moving our shifts to that structure, are we negatively impacting those that want to ride a bus because the bus maybe isn't on that schedule. So there's something that we need to appeal back here just to make sure that it's working. But in general, whether it's bikes, carpooling, electric vehicles, bus passes, shift allocating, we're trying to be as creative as we can to keep as much traffic off the network during peak times as possible. Okay. Thanks. Yeah, it's a challenge. Okay, I can't believe this, but we're about to look at the last comment. This is related to the phasing plan. If the applicant desires a phase board approval, they must present phasing plans. So how does this fit with the discussion we had earlier? This is my moment of panic, right?  And so if they don't want to build it all at once, the board can approve a final plan in phases. You know, this would be blue phase A, B, and C. Oh, I see, okay. As opposed to the phases we were talking about earlier. Right, so it's not master plan phases, it's final plan phases. And so really what I should have done here, Marla, to ease the angst a little bit because the blue is the blue. It's really two colors of blue, right? Right, so for us too, so what Delilah and I have found is that it gets really messy if we don't have a plan that shows what the ground conditions look like at when you come in for a CO. Great. For phase blue A. Awesome. We'll have that for you. Okay, great. Thank you. So you're looking at two blue phases then, not three? No. Okay, okay, good. I can't believe we got all through these comments. Thank you for your efficiency in responding and having thought these through. Let's see if there are, are there any board questions or comments before we ask for public comment? Okay, anyone in the audience want to make comments? And is there anyone online who would like to make comments? No? Okay, so we are... May I ask a question? I'm... Hello? Hello? Yes, what's your name please? Hi, this is Peter Raymond. Yep, can you hear me? We can. What's on your mind? Great. I'm just here on behalf of Mansfield Helig flight. It's a neighboring use at the airport. And I just had a couple of clarifying questions about things that were said a little bit earlier in this process. I think there was one reference to FAA, an FAA application and the approval there. And I wasn't clear what the DRB's requirement was for that going forward. And since Mansfield Helig flight's also a general aviation use at the airport, I think it would be of interest and kind of concern what that would look like. So I just wasn't sure what the DRB, what that request is going forward. If that's material that's going to be required before the hearing is closed. Yes, I think we do require that documentation from the regulatory agencies. It's a little squishy in that it doesn't necessarily specify the timeline. It just says shall require approval. The board has taken two approaches in the past. Sometimes the board has said do it before zoning permit. And sometimes the board has said do it before closing this hearing. It's up to you guys, when you say before zoning permit, it puts the risk on the applicant. If they go through this whole process and button up everything and then they can't get a zoning permit, then they have to start over like we did with the airport hotel. Sorry to bring up the source object. So board members, what is your preference? Which approach do you think we should take? Have you guys submitted for your FAA approval? We have. We submitted back in May. We updated in November and we expect to hear back by the end of the year. So you should have it before we see you again. Wingers crossed. It's the FAA. You should have an update for us before we see you again. Well, I have an update for you, definitely, yes. Yeah, we're actively in communications with in coordination with the airport and the FAA on the 7460s, the variety of them that are required for the project. Okay, thank you. Peter, does that answer your question? I think it does. I think my understanding is that this hearing is going to be continued as well like a master plan. So there'll be some supplemental information that will be reviewed before people. Okay, yeah. Do you have any other questions or comments? No, I think as the additional materials is submitted, like I said, it's a general aviation use of the airport. So I think we'll review kind of once the full, once all the materials are in and submit any concerns in writing. Okay, good. Thank you very much. Any other comments from the public? Okay, I can't believe this. We are definitely done. So I'm gonna go ahead and move that we continue this hearing until January 18th. Second. Thanks, Dan. Any other discussion, any discussion about that? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Aye. Great, thank you for your patience. And did you? Okay, you didn't say aye. All right, aye. I, that concludes tonight's meeting and I wish everyone who celebrates has a good and safe holiday. Thank you. Thank you and thank you for all your help tonight. This conference is no longer being recorded.


Soil moisture was recently added to the list of essential climate variables, ECVs, which are deemed necessary for intergovernmental panel on climate change, IPCC, and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC, needs. To ensure consistency and accuracy, soil moisture data must be collected from multiple sources, such as scatterometers and radiometers, with frequencies ranging from low to high. The C-band scatterometers on board the ERS and METOP satellites, along with multi-frequency radiometers SMMR, SSM slash I, TMI, AMSRE, and WINSAT, have already provided data for over 30 years. The challenge now is to combine these data into one consistent record. One potential solution is to merge the level 2 soil moisture data from each sensor. This approach has already been tested in the WACMOS project, funded by the European Space Agency, ESA, and will be further developed through the Climate Change Initiative, CCI, program of ESA.

If no talks of trades, we'll close it up earlier, but here is your window. This is the first half of a inner case. Second half of the case has already been posted under random team number 12. So if you're feeling lucky and you want to get it in the second half, go grab it now. Okay, it doesn't look like there's any talks of trades, so give it another 15 seconds. So trade window going once, trade window going twice, and trade window going three times. Trade window closed. Let's print it up and rip the five boxes. So here is our inner case. I'm going to pop this open. Ten boxes in here. Say it. So here's our ten boxes. We're going to go boxes on the left versus boxes on the right for us, figure out which side we're going to do. So there's our final list. Thanks to everybody for getting in. Closing this out tonight. Dice roll. One, two, three on the dice for the left boxes. Four, five, six on the dice for the boxes on the right. Good luck. It's a one. There you go. So it's going to be boxes on the left. These boxes here on the right are going to be four. Random team number 12. There you go. So like I said, second half of that case is already in the store, but here are our boxes. Two, one, eighties by any chance. I do. Thank you so much. Enjoy. If you ever need to, you can always grab more. Oh, no, no. I just needed two left. I just ran out of the pack. Oh, no worries. Yeah. Thank you. These are stuck with stickers. So I'll pack stack on these and then we'll go through all the goodies. This stuff looks really good this year. Like a lure is always nice looking, but I don't know the design, not like it's a, you know, a far take off from like classic, but it looks just super clean and the colors are just next level. Oh yeah. Jerry. Nice. Anything crazy come out? Yeah. They are very nice cards, as you said. The colors on these things just pop like crazy. But it's the silver is just so clean. Just the base card itself and we'll start with this last box for the break itself. There you go. Good luck, everybody. Thanks to everybody for getting in on this, closing it out tonight. You got Thomas Harley, black rainbow for the stars, Steve Birch. Those city sally's are really cool looking. Nikita Kutraw, that's a red rainbow for the Tampa Bay Lightning and David Baker.

Kings is Michael Gallucci, yeah, I mean that'd be super cool, I don't know, the hard part is if the Sonics come back, I think it'd be like the Cleveland Browns or no. So did the Cleveland Browns when they restarted, because obviously did they get to keep theirs in the building in Sonics colors at least? Was he really? Sean, I didn't know that, that's cool. I was still, I got to buy myself a Sioux Bird Jersey, that's something they make big enough ones for me as a fact egg, yeah I really want one, I want a Sioux Bird Jersey. Do they? Okay, that's what I was wondering. Jake Evans for the Canadians and Steve Birch, I was wondering how does it work like past records and stuff like that.

And last box guys, good luck, Nathan McKinnon, Avalanche and Steve Birch, you got Peyton Krebs for the Golden Knights and Rick Thomas, Gabe Velardi, nice one there for the Kings, Michael Gallucci, Igor Zamula, Flyers William LaMica and Bowen Byram again for the Avalanche, Steve Birch, William Carlson, Golden Knights Rick Thomas, Dylan Strom, Black Hawk, Steve Birch and Vitaly Kravsov, Rangers, Mike Tower, Ryan Sutter for the Wild and Steve Birch, Keith Yandle, Florida, William Davis and Olijio Levy for the Canucks is what probably is going to be our final auto, stay together, don't fall in the park, Vancouver Canucks William LaMica, Bowen Byram again for the Avalanche, Steve Birch and Kiefer Bellows for the Islanders, that is Steve Birch and there you guys, that is the break, nice half case, there is a second half in the store, that is two random teams number 12, so second half of that case, see if it continues, that was a very good first half, that was 2020-2021 rubber deck allure, hockey, 5 box, half case break, two random teams each, number 11, JaspiesCaseBrakes.com I'm Sean, JaspiesCaseBrakes.com, thanks for hanging out, we'll see you next time.


So what else can we do with the tangent line? So let's write the equation of the line tangent to the graph of y equals square root of x at 4, 2. To write the equation of a line, we need a point on the line. Well, this point 4, 2 seems to be good. We also need the slope of the line. And remember, the derivative is the slope of the tangent line. So we'll find the derivative of y equals square root of x. And since our point is at x equals 4, we'll want to evaluate the derivative at x equals 4. It's easiest to do so if we rewrite the derivative without negative or fractional exponents. And so our derivative is going to be one-fourth. And so we know the tangent line passes through the point 4, 2 with slope one-fourth. So its equation is going to be... Historically, two different methods of tangents were invented in the 1630s. One by Rene Descartes and the other by Pierre de Fermat. And there was a bit of a rivalry between the two, and Descartes challenged Fermat to use his method to find the slope of the tangent line to a curve that has since become known as the folium of Descartes. That's this curve x cubed plus y cubed equals something xy. And Fermat said, no problem. Well, actually he was French, so he probably said something like, c'est vrai facile. And we can do the same thing without too much more difficulty. So let's find the derivative. And because this function is defined implicitly, we'll use implicit differentiation. And after all the dust settles, we have this formula for the derivative. Now, our derivative requires the values of both x and y. Fortunately, we have them. And so substituting those in, we find the slope of the tangent line. And so we find that our tangent line has slope negative 1 and passes through the point 2, 2, so the equation will be... So why do we care about tangent lines? Geometrically, if we look at the curve and a line tangent to the curve at a given point, the tangent line is going to very closely match the curve itself. So if we zoom in on the curve, we see that if we're not too far from the point of tangency, the tangent line will be a very good match to the curve. And this leads to the following idea. The tangent line is a good approximation to the curve through the point of tangency. Well, that's a geometric idea. Algebraically, it corresponds to the following useful idea. The line tangent to the graph of y equals f of x at x equals x0 will go through the point x0, f of x0, and have slope f prime of x0. And since we know how to write the equation of a line given a point and the slope, we can write the equation of the tangent line. But if the tangent line approximates the curve, then the equation of the tangent line will be an approximation for the function itself. And consequently, our function will be approximately equal to the equation of the tangent line as long as our x value is close to x0, our point of tangency. This leads to the following idea. Suppose I want to approximate a function value. What I want to do is find an x0 close to my x1, where both the function and the derivative are known exactly. And for our purposes, we'll say that a value is known exactly if it can be found using the basic arithmetic operations, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. So for example, 5 plus 3 over 17. Or it has a known rational value, for example, cosine of pi log of 1. Or it has a value that you are given as exact, e or pi. Any other value we'll say is not known exactly. So for example, square root of 2, sine of 5, e squared. Because these can't be found using the basic arithmetic operations, because these don't have a known rational value, and because we're not given these as exact values, these, for our purposes, are not values that we know exactly. Next, because we carefully chose x0 so that we knew the function value and the derivative, then we know the point of tangency, and we know the slope of the tangent line. And so now we can write the equation of the tangent line through the point of tangency, and then use the y value of the tangent line at x1 to approximate the value of the function at x1. So for example, let's use the tangent line to approximate the square root of 4.1, and let's evaluate the accuracy of this approximation. So to proceed, we'll need square root of 4.1 to be the value of some function, and we have our choice of functions. For example, we may let f of x equals, oh I don't know how about, square root of 4 sine 3x plus 0.1. Then, square root of 4.1 is going to be our function evaluated at pi over 6. Or maybe f of x would be log of x, then square root of 4.1 is going to be our function evaluated at e to the power 4.1. And we can use any function we want, so we'll choose the hardest possible function. Or we can use the simplest possible function, if f of x equals square root of x, then square root of 4.1 is going to be our function evaluated at 4.1. Since we want f of 4.1, we want an x value that is close to 4.1, where f of x and f prime of x are known exactly. So let's choose, how about x equals 100? Well, that's a little too far away. How about x equals 4.1? Well, if we knew the value of f of 4.1, we wouldn't bother with the approximation. How about x equals 5? Well, that would be good. That's close, but we don't know the value of f of 5, because that would be the square root of 5, and we don't know how to find that. How about 4? So 4 is close to 4.1. f of 4 is the square root of 4, which is 2, and so we know that exactly. And if we find f prime of x, we find it's equal to, and if x equals 4, this will be, which we know exactly. And so we know the tangent line through x equals 4 has slope 1-4th and passes through the point 4-2. So its equation is going to be, and the tangent line approximates the function. So if I want to find f of 4.1, I'll substitute x equals 4.1 into this equation and get. Now how can we evaluate the accuracy of the approximation? Well, it might be tempting to find square root of 4.1 on your calculator, but here's a useful idea to keep in mind. You don't check an answer by re-solving the problem. In this particular case, finding square root of 4.1 on your calculator is using a different approximation. So how do we know that's correct? And so what we might do is we might fall back on what it means to be the square root. We want a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives us 4.1. So in this case, we might find 2.025 squared and see that it's equal to, and so 2.025 does appear to be very close to the actual square root.

No alternative to Russian gas for now. Austrian Chancellor. Austria is bound to continue receiving the bulk of its gas from Russia in the coming years. Chancellor Karl Nehama has acknowledged. He added that his government has been taking measures to cushion the potential cutting of gas transit through Ukraine at the end of 2024 and is trying to diversify suppliers. In an interview with Austria's broadcaster ORF, Nehama argued that Russian gas is not cheaper than any other. However, the way the pipeline system is arranged in Europe means the Russian fuel has dominated energy markets in Eastern and Central Europe for decades. According to the Chancellor, Austria may one day do without Russian gas, but this is unlikely to happen in the short term. For the time being, Vienna will continue to buy fuel from Moscow as its immediate priority is to see through the coming winter without deciding who gets energy, households or industries, he said. Nehama pointed out that Austria's largest gas provider OMV has contracts signed with Gazprom until 2040 and cannot simply pull out of those at the stroke of a pen. He also revealed that Austria is expanding conduits, connecting it with neighbouring Germany and Italy in the hope of finding alternative gas sources.


Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Ladies and gentlemen, what is about to happen is something you will tell your grandchildren about in the years to come. Something's coming. The moment we've been waiting for.  Thank you all very much. Thank you President Tommy Dodd. Doris Gosnell, our Governor, Governor Orr, Mayor Hudnut of Indianapolis, Lieutenant Governor Mutz, Congressman John Myers, and all of you members of this great and growing organization. Listening to that warm introduction, feeling your enthusiasm shake this hall, I could only think, I've found it. I'm in Hoosier Heaven. You know, I grew up not too far from hearing the song about Indiana's Wabash Cannonball, but I'd say I've just heard the sound of an all-American Cannonball. Well, I'm happy to be with you here today, for my heart is with you every day of the year. I remember addressing a group just about four years ago at this time down in San Antonio, Texas, and I asked for their help to put the pieces of a broken economy back together. They were and are a very special group of people, their heroes who live in the frontiers of American life, their people who behold in the dawn each day a dream far away to strive for and win, their men and women who laugh at folly and fear and who see setbacks not as excuses to quit, but as spurs to struggle and sweat even harder to carry on. They are the JCs. They stand for opportunity and they're leading the economic comeback of the United States of America.  We're continuing to do everything that we can to bring all credible influence to Beirut, to get our people freed and returned home safe and sound. Let me say we must not yield to the terrorist demands and invite more terrorism. We cannot reward their grisly deeds. We will not cave in. Thank you very much. So now to get on with our visit here today, in 6,500 chapters, 270,000 members strong, you are leaders in your communities, movers and shakers in get out the vote drives, in raising funds for muscular dystrophy as you've just been told and helping to locate missing children and problem solving of every sort. In organization for men only, you opened your doors to more than 30,000 women members and today we salute all of your new JC members. Four years ago, I came before you to say, if you think you're better off with the high taxes and runaway monster government of the past, then go ahead and oppose our new program. But if you're ready to try something new, if you're ready to tell Washington, DC, no more business as usual, because we're going to make America great again, then lend us your help and commit your lives and you did that. You joined us and gave your all because we believe in America, not the America of special interests bureaucrats or the elite powerful and well connected, but the America of hardworking families who sustain their communities, who abide by the law, who not only pay their own bills, but every sense spent by government as well. Jefferson's vision of unenliable rights, of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, of government's responsibility to grow not for its own sake, but to provide the ultimate and individual freedom, that is the commitment of this administration. So we set out together to give the words freedom, incentives and growth new life. And what have we accomplished? Well, not all that we want by no means. But while the sour pusses predicted failure, inflation went from 12.4% to 4%. The prime rate from over 20% to 9.5% as of yesterday. That's the lowest level in six and a half years for that. Government stopped engorging itself with the people's earnings. Nearly 8 million new jobs were created, more jobs per month than Europe created in the last 10 years. 635,000 new business incorporations last year. Zero growth turned into 30 straight months of economic expansion and sent consumer confidence to its highest levels since 1966. My friends, thanks to you, a no hit, no run, no win team is working its way back to championship form. And you know something? Winning is just the beginning because momentum creates more momentum. We're not turning back to that failed, unhappy past. This is the moment to push forward together, to get the job done right, to change our lives for the better, and change America forever. So like in 1981, I've come to ask a simple but crucial question for our future. Are you with us? Can we count on your support again? Thank you very much. I hope you agree that a Congress serious about cutting deficits will pass the budget savings that we've asked for, and will give this president the same authority that 43 governors already have authority to line item veto budget busting items and appropriation bills. And if we're ever going to handcuff the big spenders, we can't stop with a line item veto. We must go all the way and pass a constitutional amendment mandating government may spend no more than government takes in. Now, I've come today to speak to you on another subject. I've come to speak about our tax system. I pray that this won't send shutters through the hall, but then I wouldn't be surprised. A system with 14 different tax brackets that stifle hard work and success. A system that has singled out families for cruel and unusual punishment. A system that caters to the powerful few with loopholes galore, but lets working people take it on the chin. That system is unfair at its core. It has become public enemy number one. It's earned a revolt, and it's time we tore it down. Trying to tackle the great challenges of our future with today's outdated tax system, that's a little like trying to win the Indianapolis 500 on a bicycle. We're proposing a plan that will say, if I may paraphrase the start of that race, America, start your engines. We're proposing a plan that will tell 238 million Americans, go for it. We would get rid of the current 14 bracket system and replace it with a simple three bracket system, a 15, 25, and 35%. Those brackets would apply to your taxable income, not to your gross income. And these lower rates would mean you could keep more of each additional dollar that you earn or save. We call it America's tax plan because it will mean fairness and tax relief for the majority of families, individuals, and businesses in every region of the country. Families are the bedrock of our society, and they're going to receive long overdue relief. It's a national scandal that Washington sat back for over three decades and let the value of the personal exemption collapse. Well, we're putting an end to benign neglect. Of immense importance to working and middle class families, we will nearly double to $2,000 the personal exemption for every taxpayer and defendant. The exemption will be indexed to inflation to prevent any erosion. We would raise the standard reduction for joint returns to $4,000. And to end unjust discrimination against homemakers, we would nearly double to $4,000 the amount every couple can put into individual retirement accounts and deduct from their taxable income. We're not promoting one kind of family over another. We just want all families treated the same. I think you know who gets the lion's share of the credit for creating nearly 8 million new jobs in the last two and a half years. When it comes to producing jobs, American small business is king. And small businesses will remain king because America's tax plan is the biggest jobs creation bill in history. Reducing personal tax rates will give a shot in the arm to small businesses which aren't incorporated. So will reducing the maximum corporate tax rate, now 46% to 33%, with most small corporations paying lower corporate tax rates, which will be progressive from 15% to 33%. And reducing the top tax rate on capital gains will fuel the high risk ventures that can pay off with great leaps in productivity and new jobs and technologies. We want every man and woman to have their chance to stand among the new heroes of our age, the American entrepreneurs. Entrepreneur, you know that's such a nice word. That's a French word, it means JCs. As we open the windows of opportunity for all, we're going to start shutting the doors on special privileges that enable some to avoid paying their fair share. I don't think we need to keep subsidizing $100 lunches to stay competitive in world markets. I don't think the great majority of taxpayers should have to subsidize the state and local deduction for the wealthy few in a handful of high-tax states. And I don't think the loopholes, like jojoba bean shelters, windmills, resource write-offs, and Cayman Island trusts are the foundation for a lean and mean America in the 80s and 90s and 21st century. These shelters aren't justified. They cheat the great majority of unsheltered taxpayers who must make up the difference with higher tax rates. And it's about time that we pulled our investment money out of unfair subsidies, out of shelters, out of foreign tax havens, and invested that money in America's future. It's time that we all pulled on the same ore so we could all go forward together and nobody gets left behind. I know the special interests in their lobbyists are regrouping. They're already swarming like ants into every nook and cranny in Congress. But the American people have their lobbyists too. You're looking at him. Our plan will not increase the deficit. It is not a tax increase, nor will I ever permit it to become a tax increase. I will veto any tax increase the Congress sends me. And I don't usually threaten vetoes. I say, I'll wait till I see what comes before me on my desk. As for a tax increase, I know what that is. I'll veto it already. But America's tax plan will mean that every income group's tax burden will fall. Every group in every region will be better off. And I predict that after all is said and done, the Congress will pass this historic plan because it is pro-fairness, pro-family, pro-growth, and most important, it is pro-future. The too many pundits haven't calculated what America's tax plan will mean for our future. In a word, lower tax rates mean new opportunity, a whole world of opportunity for people. If you earn more, if you're promoted to a better job, if you're able to save some money and invest it, then fewer of those dollars will go to line Uncle Sam's pockets and more will end up in your wallets where they belong. That's the key difference. That's the key difference from the tax system we have now. And when you see that bright green light telling you, go ahead, take a risk, shoot for your dreams, and do more with your lives, it'll be America that gains the most, America that becomes more competitive, and yes, America that lights up the sky with economic fireworks that spell USA number one. I've often said and believe it must always remain our goal. We cannot be satisfied until the United States can out-produce, out-compete, and out-sell anybody anywhere in the world. Well, America's tax plan will enable us to do just that. Tax rates are like prices for producing, saving, and investment. And history shows that in the case of two countries, A and B, and the tax rates are cut in B, then capital will flow from A to B. By bringing down our prices, by making them cheaper, we're then virtually anywhere in the world, we're going to create powerful incentives for people to invest, produce, and save in America. We're going to create powerful incentives for people all over the world to do their shopping and create jobs in America's stores ahead of any other store. We're going to contribute to another surge of venture capital and entrepreneurial activity. We're going to make it possible for tomorrow's industrial giants to be born in America, born in a small business that may begin in the dream of one JC. This is the future that we can invent and create together. And we shouldn't settle for less. Our dreams can be real. I'm convinced that getting this program passed will be the best thing we could ever do for ourselves. Help us get it passed by Thanksgiving, and then we'll give America the best Christmas present we've ever had. And some people, now some people, and I don't question their intentions, are already fixing to pick our plan apart. For example, some say that to make it even fairer, we must raise the top tax rate higher than 35%, so the rich pay more. But that argument misses the central point of what we're doing. We're not lowering the top tax rate to 35% so the rich will do better. We're lowering the top rate to 35% so that every working American will have a better chance to get rich. There's something else they forget. Nearly 15 million small businesses pay their taxes by the personal rates. So raising the top tax rate is a tax increase in waiting for every one of them. I think the Congress should hear what you think about this, but you're going to have to speak up because they're 600 miles away. A potential tax increase on millions of American small businesses. Now is that your idea of fairness? I'm afraid, I'm sorry, your answer didn't quite reach DC. You said what? Is a tax increase on small business your idea of strengthening growth and our future? Well then maybe you'd like to tell Congress, you support our plan, you want it passed, America should unite and America should go for it. Well, there's no limit to the good we can do for there's no limit to the goodness in America's heart and spirit. You know this, you're the ones who show us every day in places like Anderson, South Carolina, where JCs built a Vietnam War Memorial to the 28 young men who gave their last full measure of devotion in that war. In Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where they've bought a computer that is helping cerebral palsy victims, Don Zivny, to speak after 22 years of silence. You remind us what I recently told a talented group of students in Atlanta, Georgia. As important as the creation of wealth is to generate jobs and a brighter future, we don't want our children to grow up believing wealth and material comforts should be their main goals in life. It isn't looking out for number one that counts most, it's loving our neighbor. And we have that on pretty good authority. This is America's tradition from our first days when the pioneers would get together and build each other's houses. They called it house raising. Well, that was long ago, but it's still going on. Every time someone helps a friend down and out, helps a lonely stranger, hungry and cold, that's a house raising. Every time someone gives time or money to support their local police, help the handicapped or improve their library or school, that's a house raising too. And every time a group of people get together and vow, don't tell us how big the problem is, the JCs can solve it, that's a house raising. I thank you for this wonderful time that we spent together. I wish you and America rich in success, rich in our kindness and love for each other. And if I must say goodbye, and I do, saying goodbye to the JCs is pretty hard to do, then I'll do it by leaving you some words I almost feel were written for you. They're from a very noted poet in our background. He said, believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer. There's big work to do, and that's why you're here. Let the world be better for you, and at last, when you die, let this be your cry. Come on my soul, carry on. Thank you for the miracles you do every day.  Mr. President, you set so many wonderful examples for not only JCs, but all Americans. And certainly one example that you said is love of family and the importance of each of us depending on each other for a better and brighter future. It is an honor for me to present to you an original watercolor by our staff artist, Kurt Stenstrom, of you and Nancy Reagan. Says to President Ronald Reagan and Nancy from the United States JCs, 65th Annual Meeting Indianapolis, Indiana, June 19, 1985. Mr. President, we'll call it roommates. Romance. Romance. Roommates. A roommate. Oh, I see. Mr. President, whatever you would like to call it, we'll be fine. Mr. President, we don't think it would be quite fair for you to attend one of our conventions and not get into one of the favorite pastimes of JCs when they gather together to celebrate a year's work in their communities. So on behalf of all 5,000 JCs here, we would like to present you your first set of U.S. J.C. trading pens.
