It's DK and today I made bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. It was an absolutely terrible day. Well, it's like kind of like a day and a half. It was absolutely terrible. So stay tuned to stick around when you're planning around. First off, we do have a load from our carrier company.  So a hundred and seven miles altogether for 215, brother pull up and get green. Let's go. Just like that. We are here at the pickup. It's time for us to run it up. It's a random bill. Maybe it's this bill. I don't know. Let's see. I don't know if that joint made no noise or not. Last time I had to knock on the John. But it can give me right, baby. How you doing? Sorry. I'm gonna have a load to pick up to go to Chicago. I wasn't expecting until three o'clock. Oh, really? They told me it was ready now. Oh, it is ready now. Oh. The problem is. Oh, y'all are fixing this. Is it pretty heavy or no?  I mean, it's heavy enough. Like I'm not trying to injure anybody. Like I know two people could probably lift it. But let me clear out one side of the boxes. Okay. And I'll get you going. Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it, sir. Give me 15 minutes. 15 minutes? Yes, I'm okay. Alrighty. I'm gonna add an extra 20 minutes of wait time, which is gonna add about 30 minutes of more traffic. Traffic, look for my traffic. Because, guess what? It's in the middle of the day, but it's time for us to get it clapping. Hey, baby. Yes, sir. Y'all see what's going on? Right there is perfect. Nice and right. That's what I'm talking about. You have to paperwork or you gotta go get it. I just gotta figure it out real quick. Alrighty. Thank you. Just like that. It's time to get our pockets on this gold.  It's been critical. I'm talking about so much traffic. Traffic. Hello. How you doing? I have a drop off for you guys. Coming from a store event. I usually go to the yellow dock or something. I think that's what it's called. Yellow dock. Do you know where it's at? Yeah. Can you reach out to them? Because sometimes they don't be coming out for a while. I said, can you reach out to them? Let them know that I'm coming. Okay. The one with the vest on, right? Okay. I'll let her know. Okay. All right, thank you. All right.  And they want you to go in at LCL one.  LCL one? Well, there's a door right next to it. Okay. So I'm gonna go around here. Go that way.  So pass LCL 19. Keep going. Yeah. We'll keep going right. It's that long stretch of dock you saw when you came in. There's a door right next to LCL one.  There's an office right there. Okay.  I hope so. I don't guarantee that. You said what? I didn't hear you. I don't guarantee that the material you have is for me though. I don't think it is because normally when we come here I go to the yellow docks. So guess what? I'm gonna go back. Go back. So this is the question. See this paperwork saying one thing, the dispatch told me another thing. Normally I come here. Normally, I don't know why everything, as soon as it's due to an NLM line, they just looked at the dock right here. They didn't even bother to look at the trailer or anything. If he were to open that trailer, as soon as I told him to go forward, he checked and ran away. You can see it right there? Yeah. Okay. So it's helpful. So I gotta go back there. I'm sorry. It's not my just or fault. Thank you. I know you're wondering right now, what is going on? I was wondering too. Let me tell you guys, I'm getting a whole full breakdown. We have done this low multiples of time. We've probably done it like five or six times.  We went there and every time we went there, they told us that we need to go to this other address and not that address. They sent us to the wrong place. So we like, why don't we keep on going through the same thing over and over and over? Why don't we just go to the real address we're supposed to go to? This time we did that. We get there. First off, our renew was already kind of messed up already. Anyway, normally when we go there, we pull up to the thing that it's usually a do right there. He say, boom, he reached out to the people at the yellow docks. I saw a standup saying about the yellow docks to the first aid, the dispatcher. Go to the yellow docks. But go to the yellow docks, they unload us every time. This time we told them we gotta walk up to the front and talk to these ladies. Then they tell me the dispatcher gone, I talked to her, I tell her, boom. She said, okay, yeah, go to this office. I've never been to that office before. I don't know, none about the office. I've never seen the office. I ain't even know none about the other side of the building. So that was the first thing that went wrong. So the lady tells us what she tells. She said, boom, y'all have to go to the other address. Now, mind you, this is my fault anyway, because I should have went to the one that was in the act. I said the other one, which normally, it's just flukey. Y'all know what I'm saying. It's flukey because every other time we have went to that address, we went to the first place. So they told me to go to another address. So that's my fault. So I'm not gonna blame the dispatcher and then blame the carrier company for my mistake. So it is what it is. So we go there, we get there, right? We pull up at 4.13. We go to the gate, we talk to the lady. Yeah, we here to jump on this load, whoa, whoa. Guess what? The fork truck drivers is usually unload everything. They are going for the day. They leave at four o'clock. So now we have to reach out to our dispatcher and let them know, look, they saying that we have to come back tomorrow, tomorrow morning. Guess what? We sit there and waited for one hour and 30 minutes for them to find out what's going on.  Guess what else? Let me see, I got plenty of them for you. Guess what? Finally we leave, right? We go on towards home and we hit full blown traffic. I'm talking about traffic area, traffic, traffic. Looking for my chapstick. There's a, I'm talking about traffic galore. We leave there at like five, what time was it? Five thirty almost. We leave there right around five thirties and we didn't get home until seven thirty. So now we get home at seven thirty and guess what? We got to get up in the morning and leave the house by four thirty in the morning. And I got to get up like at one forty five. So I'm talking, I'm talking about super exhausted tire. But we got to do, we got to do, y'all know my flow stick like the flow. I thought y'all knew. So now we're about to pull up and run it up. Hey, if you hate, so what? Let's go. The next day. Good morning. Good morning. I'm living a dream. I can't complain. I woke up this morning. Some people didn't make it. Some people didn't make it. You better make it, man. Hey, hey, I know, I know. I'm trying to stay away from it. That's why I make my money. I go home. I can still be playing out here. I appreciate it. You guys have a good one. A few things I did forget to mention to you guys. For us doing a layover, layovers when you have to stay overnight or drop the load off the next day. We did actually get an extra hundred and fifty dollars for having to come back to drop that load off. But I will say this, it was absolutely not worth it. It was not worth it at all because the pickup location that we picked up the order from in the first place, it's probably like 35 minutes from our house, 30 minutes from our house. So an extra 30 minutes and we got $215 instead of $150. We have to go all the way home and then come all the way back and then go all the way home again. And on our way home, guess what? We ran into traffic yet again. So all together it probably took us eight hours. It probably took us eight hours all together to do that whole setup. Like eight hours and it was definitely not worth it. But we did make $365. We went up there to pop our collar. I got my game from a scholar when they hit me they holla. Now we do have two more orders about the go hang in order. Guess what we're going on? Walmart, we're about to go to Walmart. We're about to go to Walmart. And guess what we're ever using? Rodee, Rodee, Rodee, Rodee, with a devarance. We are going to do some Rodee orders about the go hang in order. The first one is a TV. We're going to drive five miles and receive a payment of 2303. We're going to pull up and get that cheese. And then order number two. Y'all already know my flow is like the flu. I thought y'all knew. This one is picking up two like boat flex items like some weights. Two things of weights. We're going to drive nine miles for 25, 27. 25, 27, three out, 25, 27. 25, 27, three out. Alrighty, you can put that in first. Or...  No, standing up. Alrighty. This is a long slide. This part of my car. Thank you very much. So I appreciate your help. You too. So guess what? We have another problem. I went to Walmart and the guy told me I cannot take both orders at the same time. At the same time. But I'm really not complaining about that because it's going to be super sweet. It's only like five or six miles down the road. It's not going to be long at all. Now Paul, that was crazy. But we're going to pick up the TV, then we're going to come back, then we're going to get the weights and then we're going to get to this money and don't hate, let's go.   Let's see if the customer is home before I take the drone off the van. Even though I can't leave it. You're going to see. I want to make sure they're home if they not guess what. We'll leave it by the front door. A few moments later. Hey, how you doing, Diane? My name is Jerome. I'm the delivery driver. I have your TV from Walmart. Oh, I got it in the van right now. I'm the one that just run your door. But I'm not sure if you're home or not. Oh, so what was your... Oh, okay. So what would you like me to do? Take it back to the store? Well, we have another issue, baby. We have another problem.  I run the doorbell. No one answers. I reach out to the customer. I let them know, yes, I'm here with your TV from Walmart. I'm the delivery driver and all that stuff. So boom. They like, well, they say they weren't supposed to come until Saturday. I'm like, well, I have the TV in the van right now. They just gave it to me and they told me to bring it here. Look, this is not even her TV. This is her son's TV. I mean, he is moving in his apartment on Saturday. That's when he's supposed to drop it off. So unfortunately, he don't even live there yet. So I don't know what happened with Walmart or Rody. I don't know who tweaked, but somebody tweaked. So guess what? I'm like, is it possible that you can bring it to my house instead, which is actually kind of on the way to Walmart.  I mean, it's not exactly on the way, but it's kind of like out the way a little tiny bit. Probably like three minutes out the way for me to go drop the TV off to her house, right? So I'm like, yeah, I can drop the TV off. She's like, okay, she gave me the address and everything. I reach out to Rody. I'm like, look, the customer asked me, can they switch the address? Can they switch it to this address instead of the one I dropped it off to, I'm trying to drop it off to because they don't live here. Guess what Rody told me? Rody told me, unfortunately, we can't do that. You need to return the TV back to Walmart. And then they switched everything in the app. So I'm like, okay, dang. So now what I'm going to do, I'm going to have to call the lady back and let her know, hey, they told me I got to take it back to the store. So I guess what I got to do, they the one paying me. But guess what? When I tried to call her back, they had switched the app to actually go back to the store instead of the customer house. So now the contact information is the store and not the customer house. So I'm like, dang.  And I told her I was going to come drop it off. No problems because I thought I could do it in the app. I just laid it off. I told her I was going to drop it off and now I can't drop it off. And I look, this is what I'm thinking about here.  And I'm thinking in my head like, well, that's even worse to me not going at all. I don't rather not go and then drop it off at the store then go to her house with the TV in the van.  You gotta, they're going to reschedule for Saturday and then just take it back to the store. That don't make sense to me.  If you're watching this video, I apologize. I wasn't really trying to do that. I wanted a video on that. But they told me to take it back to the store. So that's what we got to do. Don't know my full six legs of floor, let's go. Yes, sir. So I actually have to return this one because the customer said, we weren't supposed to deliver it until Saturday. They don't move into the apartment till the end. So I actually tried to steal tickets to the next house but the roadie told me I couldn't do it. They told me to bring it back to the store. Got it, okay. This one is right here. I can put that one in first. Yeah, I was about to say, yeah, we'll take this in. Oh, that's a smart, that's like that both flex key. Yeah. Now you're about to get right, ain't it? Right there. Thank you very much, sir. All right. He is right here. You want me to help you take it or are you good? Oh, I got it. You sure? On there, some murder? All right, I'll take a photo of it and we're good to go. I'll hand it to recipient. Step back in with the photo of your little smack. Thank you very much. We have a good one, sir. And just like that, we are here at the drop-off. It's how to not stay socks off. They about to get right. They about to be getting right with these weights. They trying to be great. What are you doing over here? What? We've been at the front though. Step back, handle with the photos. Smack! We gone. And just like that, it is the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoyed the content. I know, I know, I know. Why do I have on different clothes now? I have on different clothes because guess what? Not only did we have a terrible day and a half, I also actually erased the end of the video on accident, baby. So it is what it is, baby. So now I got to do it again. We are getting dividends to win. Now, in this video, we made $436.33 enough money to pay the rent. We ran around the beans with no 10. I'm going to tell you guys all of my mistakes. Number one, on that first load, I shouldn't have took that load. And if I did take it, I should have put a, I should have bid it at a higher amount because it was in the middle of the day. And we ran into traffic, traffic. I'm looking for my traffic. Number two, number two is, I don't really know if I can really count this as a mistake. I can, but I can't at the same time. I'm just saying to you why. Now, number two was going to the address we went to versus going to the address we were supposed to go to. The reason why we did that was because every time we do this thing, every time we jump off this load, we go to the same exact address every time. And every time before that, they have sent us to that address. So it was like, why play games? Why don't we just go to the one we supposed to go to? But we were wrong. So come up below and let me know what you think about that. Number three with the TV. Look, it was just real. It was just real with the TV. It kind of was my fault, but kind of not my fault. I was going to call the lady back and let her know that we can't make it. But I was thinking in my head, this is what I was thinking. I was thinking that it would be worse for me to do that versus just take it back to the store because I don't want to pull up to our house and say, we can't give you this TV right in the van. I think that that would be kind of rude and disrespectful in my opinion. That's my opinion. But comment below and let me know about that. So those are the things that I did wrong. I, look, whenever something happened in your life, you always have to be held accountable because it's your life. I tweaked a lot of times in this video, but it is what it is. You have to learn and earn.  I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Again, if you're not subscribed, make sure to subscribe, but also give me a thumbs up. And guess what? Lock in for the next video. Y'all don't want to miss this. The next video is going to be crazy. I'm going to tell you guys right now. So make sure you lock in, about to go out here and get these dividends and when I'll see you guys on next one. We're going, we're going, we're flowing. You already know in the DDK and I'm on my way.


Myself Professor Prithish Chittay, working as assistant professor in mechanical engineering department, Valchen Institute of Technology, Solapur. In this fifth session, we will discuss feature-based modeling. In the last session, we have discussed what is meant by geometrical modeling, what are the different types of geometrical modeling, and the different schemes of solid modeling that is constructive solid geometry and boundary representations. In this session, we will discuss the feature-based modeling. What are the learning outcomes? The students will be able to develop the different features-based modeling, means they can create the different 3D or 2D modeling. Also they can create any 3D model with the help of different features of the modeling that is the tools and the icons which are present inside the different modeling softwares of the different mechanical components. These are the contents. There are the different types of features-based modeling. These are the nine features we will discuss today. We will go through the first feature-based modeling that is padding. So this is the 3D view of the model. Before going to the 3D, we have to construct the 2D sketch. First we have to create a rectangle for the particular or maybe the square for the particular dimension that is 200x200. Here we are providing the dimensions and after that we are creating the hexagon with the help of a profile toolbar in the sketch menu. After padding, this will be our 2D sketch and after providing the padding feature, we can get a 3D model. So we have to provide the thickness here for the particular rectangle and the hexagon. This will be the 3D model after the padding feature. Pocketing In the last feature we have discussed the padding. What is meant by padding? Padding is actually the adding the material. Now the second part that will be the pocketing where we have to remove the material from the particular surface. This is the earlier surface that is the rectangle and the hexagon. Now to provide the hole here, we can provide the hole with the help of the pocketing. 80mm diameter circle we have created here. After that we have to just provide the depth of cut that is the throughout. This will be our 2D sketch which will be required for the pocketing and whenever we are entering into the 3D tool or the 3D view, there will be the pocketing tool inside the sketch base feature and we can create the pocketing for the hole here. So this will be the sketch for the pocketing and this will be the 3D model after the pocketing. Here we are subtracting the material or we are removing the material from the surface. Shaft Shaft here before going to the 3D shaft we have to create some 2D sketch here. Here we are creating some rectangles here, side to the axis here. This will be the another rectangle, this will be another rectangle by some dimensions and after providing the shaft tool with respect to this axis we can create this shaft. So this will be the 360 degree rotation by rotating this rectangle in the circular base by 360 degree you can create the different shaft. This will be the actazone cylinder, this is the solid shaft. So this will be the sketch for the shaft here, this is the 2D sketch and after rotating by this axis by 360 degree you can get the 3D model after shaft, hole. Here we got this actually the rectangle or maybe the padding surface already, after that we want to create some hole here on this surface. So here this is the hole, suppose you want to create the hole this will be the view in the 3D view. So this will be the 25mm diameter that is the throughout that is up to next surface. You have to provide the particular coordinate or maybe the sketch at which point or the coordinate you have to provide the hole.  So hole on the 3D surface. Now just think about this, what is the difference between the pad and the pocket? Think about this, we have just discussed this, now what are the different types of holes? Now here you can create the throughout hole just we have discussed here, the drill hole that is called as the peg drilling, the milled hole you can also create. Suppose we are having some material and after that we have to provide some hole here, right we can do it, counter bore you can provide inside the there are the different features in the drill or maybe the hole operation, rectangular slot you can also create inside the hole surfaces, the t-slot the last one will be the t-slot, countersunk also you can provide with the help of the hole command or the hole tool. These are the different types of holes. Rib tool or the rib feature base modelling. So this is the sketch you have to create, suppose this is the one vertical surface you are having after that the horizontal surface you are having and you want the rib here at this surface at the midsection. You have to create some triangle here, right here you have to use the 3D projection, you have to use the 3D projection for creating these two lines the two yellow lines after that you have to just create this line and after that whenever you are selecting on the rib section in the 3D view you can get the rib 3D on side this this vertical and the horizontal surface. So this will be the sketch for the rib and this will be the 3D model for the after the rib section, now the chamfer and the fillet feature. Now suppose this is a rectangle and after that you have to provide the chamfer so you can provide this chamfer here this one also you can chamfer means that will be the edge the slope surface will be there after that the filleting part you can provide the filleting to the different types of edges that will be the circular fillet you can call this you can call the circular filleting. So this will be a 3D view this will be the chamfering and this will be the different filleting surfaces loft. So here suppose on one plane you have created one circle and on the another plane you have created one rectangle by multi-section solid you can join this a circle and the rectangle at one time and resulting will be the different types of model for example our monitors suppose you want to create the model of the model you can use the loft section or the multi-section solids for the different types of suppose the one surface is of one geometrical entity for example the circle or maybe we are having the rectangle to the another side. So you can create these surfaces the different surfaces with the help of multi-section solid which is called as 3D loft shell, shell is similar to the pocketing but we are here we are providing the thickness between the surfaces. This is the rectangular shell suppose you are having the one cube and you have to provide the here the shell here so you can create you can use these surface you can select the surface and after that you can select the another surface that will be the supporting surface and you can have the we can call as the pocketing we can remove this particular surface providing some thickness here right. So this will be the rectangular surface. Suppose you are having the solid cylinder and you want to provide some shelling part here you have to some remove some material providing some thickness after that this is called as the hollow pipe you can use the circular shell inside the cut here right this is the rectangular shell and this will be the a circular shell the last point spring first you have to create one simple a helical part here in the 2D sketch here like this after that take one plane and after that on that plane here on this point you can have to create one circle and with the help of spring command or maybe the multi-section solid command you can create a 3D spring very easily you can create the 3D spring inside the cut here now the use of the features like suppose you want to create any a different mechanical component the model of a mechanical component you can use this pad pocket or maybe the shaft or maybe the loft multi-section solids. So we will go directly to the different softwares like we are using the cut here software here so we will go to the direct cut software and we will practice some sessions now here suppose we will take some simple rectangle here right and suppose you want to provide the dimension in the profile toolbar we can take the rectangle here and after that give the dimension here we can give the dimension with the help of constraint command first dimension second dimension exit for bench so this will be out of 2D sketch this will be our 3D view part design view after that go to the pocket so this is the tool for the pocket that is sketch base feature go to the padding command here we have to add the material so I will select 100 mm that is the thickness and go to the preview first and okay after that suppose you want to provide here the pocket parts suppose you want to remove the surface here we have add the material now we have to remove the surface now I will select on the surface go to the sketch now create simple circle here anywhere give the dimension 60 mm okay after that exit for bench here there is a point which is called as pocket now type throughout up to the next preview okay you can see this is the throughout hole which we can do with the help of pocketing now we will move to the these are the references


Adventures in time and space, transcribed in future, kids. This is a story of Riesling, the singer of the spaceways. You've probably sung his songs in school. In English, French, or German, the language doesn't matter, but it was an earth tongue. But the real story of Riesling is not found in the footnotes of a scholar's critique or a publisher's biography. It is in the memories of the old-time spacemen, the pioneers who pushed the thundering old-fashioned rockets to the far strange ports that are our commonplace heritage. These men know the true story of Riesling. The arching sky is calling spacemen back to their trade. All heads stand by free, falling and the light below us fade. The sons of terror, flying jet, up leaps the race of... At Riesling, he was hustling drinks in the Twin Moons bar at Drywater, Mars. He'd won a guitar off a Chinese barkeep at Luna City by cheating at one thumb, and he made his whiskey by singing in the bar and passing the hat. Listen to her, Earthman. She's strung pretty like a 16-year-old gal. How much did you collect on that last song? Three dollars, Marsha, and a slug. Al grabbed it from a bill. He don't trust me no more. Funny, never did have no luck with hound dogs and a Martian barkeep. Hey, Riesling, look over there by the bar. There's an Institute force striper giving it the iron. No one? Captain Hicks off the gauze hook. Are you sure giving you the once-over? Maybe he's got a job. They don't make never no mind to me. I've been blacklisted. Hicks logged me for making up a song on watch. Right fine song, too. Hold it. Here comes the brass arm. Riesling, I've been looking for you. I've been right here, Skipper. You sort of that. I need a jet man on the gauze hook. Interesting. Real interesting. Well, I got news for you, Skipper. You blacklisted me, remember? Well, you kept your nose clean, and we need an experienced man. Change in down after the gauze hook. Ain't this, Skipper? How'd you know that? You got that new atomic pile drive. Blastery of them teacutters blew somewhere in the asteroids. Look, it's double pay, but if you're scared... Scared? Listen, fella. For double pay, I'd jump off the top of the Harriman Tower if you allowed me rubber heels for the landing. All right, then. You will show up tonight to sign the book. Sober. Got no choice, Skipper. Money and me is total strangers. We lived on 1130 Mars time. Sober, you understand, Riesling? You taking the jump? Well, that gauze hook is one stinking old tub. Her engine's got more bugs than a beagle dog in spring. And that new drive is about as safe as a pretty gal in the old style. But I reckon she'll do for one more trip. Meet my friend Hertzman. He signed on as a walker. Wipe him. This is Jimmy Legs Casey. He's Bolson. Can't hold his liquor no more than a sieve, poor boy. Riesling? You sober enough to sign the book? Drunk or sober, I'll make my mark. Stand aside. Three X's? Took me a middle name. Yeah, you two lay below. And Hertzman? Get him sobered up before the Skipper makes rounds. Jimmy Legs. I'm sober as a hanging judge. Well, you can leave that bottle here. What bottle? The one in your back pocket. Glass buttons, maybe. Give it here. Jimmy Legs, I swear I'm going to write a song about you.  Now get below. We raise ship in 30 minutes. Without permission. Figured I'd take a little stroll. Riesling, get me low before I have... Hold on, Skipper. Let that gold rig just crawling up your arm. I'm up here on business. Well? That number two jetting fit. Cadmium dampers are warped. Why tell me? Tell the chief engineer. I did. He says they'll hold. Well? He's wrong. He's wrong. He's got a Harriman Institute degree in power electronics. And some drunk space rat says he's wrong. Skipper, I was dampin' jets when that short tailed tad warped pins for buttons. I've got no time for you, Riesling. Casey, sound takeoff. Aye, sir. I'm telling you, Skipper. That number two jet's gonna blow.   Be low. Go ahead from control. All right, Casey. Fire one and four. The mother-gling vernier and a danger peeper. And as long as the peeper ticked off slow and steady, we knew the ship was safe for a while. Hey, Riesling, you better stow that guitar. If Jimmy likes ketchup, he'll blow a gasket. Don't worry. I can damp this tea kettle in my sleep. How's number two? All right, so far. Can we hear that song about Hicks, the one that got me blacklisted? Oh, the skipper is the father of this crew. A gentle, guiding light to me and you. But on Mars, he likes his women if they walk or if they're swimming, or if they've got six arms instead of two. Hey, the second verse is better. Now the skipper likes his liquor by the quart. Yes, he'd go from Mars to Venus for a snort. He'll drink rocket fuel and... I, skip, didn't see you come in. You were too busy, eh? Who's watching the gauge? I got an eye on it. Don't you fret none.  Report to Casey under arrest. I don't rightly think I will. You what? You kind of forget, Skipper. According to space code, you can't remove a jetman until the end of the watch. Right? Now look, you don't have to worry. Now, is that a rule or ain't it? Riesling, your shift is over at 2,300. And I'll see you ride the rest of the way in Slop Locker. Maybe. Maybe. In the meantime, you clear out of my power room. I got to make me up a third verse from a song. Number two, all right? Hey, let me have that mic. Is that forced-drive boil up there? Give me that. That's for you, Skipper.  Listen, you clown, that's it. Skipper, I think I'm going to junk my song and start over. I could do much better on you. Listen to my car, Riesling. You wash the gauge. Get Riesling. Get on after the blast. The lights are on. What are you talking about? Last thing Riesling ever saw. His optic nerve was burned out in an instant.  Then on the swing back, we set Riesling down to the top. Look out for the cable, Riesling. Thanks, Hurchman. Riesling! Let you, Jimmy Legs, hold up a minute, will you? Oh, uh, Riesling Jimmy Legs. I promised I'd write a song about you, didn't I? Sure, Riesling. Sure. Can't seem to sing like you used to. Look, Riesling, the men up in the bridge feel kind of bad about this. Yeah? Why didn't they think of that when Riesling came in? Yeah. Now, Hurchman, that's all over. Sure, sure. That's all forgotten. Riesling, let's get out of the twin moons before I've bought this. No, hold it, hold it. The skipper feels pretty bad about the whole thing, Riesling. Kind of late for that, Jimmy Legs. Feeling sorry, don't hold no corn. The boys passed the hat. The skipper kicked in half a month's pay. Did he, man? Then on principle, I suppose, I ought to take it. Then on principle, I suppose, I ought to tell him to stuff it back up their jets. But you can't buy no drinking whiskey on principle. I'll take it. Here you are. I'll get it. I'll be seeing you, Riesling. Sure, Jimmy Legs. Sure. Come on, Hurchman. Let's get that drink. That was all. Just another space bum who didn't have the good sense to finish before his luck ran out. When a Riesling holed up at the Twin Moons till his money was gone, then he hooked a ride on a crawler over to Marsopolis. It was a boom town then, with an industrial district mushrooming between the Lesser and Grand Canals. I ran into Riesling about two months later, playing his guitar on a jetty that ran out into the canal.  Is this a Venusian dine? No, it's a slug. Well, how's it going? Singing again? Some. Working saloons, mostly. I've been thinking some funny songs, Hurchman. The words come out different than they used to. Come on along the canal with me. Sure. Here, take my hour. I know the way. That's a funny thing, Hurchman. I figure I know it better than other folks. Look back there, towards the city. What do you see? Factory towers. Ah, smell them from here. But it don't seem that way to me. I remember them old buildings, old before Bible towns on earth. Thin and graceful like the fairy palaces my Grammy used to tell about down home in the hills. I've torn them down now, or else I'll block them up with cinder bricks. Hurchman, when I stand out out here on the canal, I can see it the way it used to be. The water, ice blue with the stars shining up out of it.  I can see it. It's the dirtiest stink hole in the system. Not always. Depends on how you see it. Bones tall that raise the tug. Go home, Riesling. Home? Earth. I've been thinking about that, Hurchman. When I was a youngster down in the Ozarks, I used to climb a big old oak tree my daddy had in the door yard. I could see the hills from miles, green and cool. I've been thinking about that.  I couldn't see them hills no more now. I couldn't stand to see black when I knew they was lying all around me cool and green in the sun. I couldn't stand that. Yeah, let's get back to town, Hurchman. Today I made three and a half dollars' mush and I'm all set to drink it down to four dongs. I shipped out on the slow fray to the condor glass for Luna and he hitchhiked to ride to Venusburg on an oarship in the tri-planet run. So he beat around the system, Venusburg to Leiport to Drywater to New Shanghai and back. Any spaceport was his home and no skipper had refused to lift the extra mass of Riesling and his battered guitar. He made up his songs sitting out watches down in the power room with old shipmates while the monotonous speed of the jet shook the whole place. Hear the jet. Hear them snarl at your back when you're stretched on the rack. Hear the jet. Feel the pain in your ship. Feel the strain in your grip. Hear the jet. His songs began to travel along the spaceways ahead of him. Raw Spaceman songs with titles like Since the Pusher Met My Cousin and The Space Soup Built For Two. But more and more we began to hear a different kind of song. Strain. Sad songs. The ones you find printed in the Centennial editions. Dark Star Passing. Death Song Of A Woodscote. And then finally, The Green Hills Of Earth. It grew for 20 years, that song. They say it started way back when Riesling was down in the labor camps on Venus singing for the indentured man. Now if someone will kindly pass a bottle, it is not much of Riesling. Here. It'll do. Killer. You cannot make him good here on Venus. What do you use? Scarac Bush. Home it is. Home it is different. Where are you from son? Tasco. Mexico. That's a long way from here. See. A long way. How'd you come to sign on? The man comes out to the village from the city and is shining on the mobile. Very big. He says there is work. You signed the paper for 10 years and you work. Work. There is work here, all right. Tens thinking hours in the jungle and machete. I tell you, when I get home to earth. Well you do son. What is the use? We aren't getting home.  Ten men, ten. What is the use? My mother, she is dead. My father doesn't care. A girl? She says she wait. I don't know. Sure son. You sing some more, Eason. We'll drink, you sing. Maybe a new song son. We ride in the molds of Venus. We raged at a tainted bridge. What is the matter? Finish the song, Eason. I can't. Can't yet. It just don't come. I'll finish it when I go home. That's it. When I go home to the hills. Now pass that bottle there. There don't whistle. Don't blow for four hours. Where the green hill started. And I was there when it was finished. It was 20 years after that. And there wasn't a man flying around the beach. Hadn't heard of Riesling and his songs. He was getting old now for a spaceman. He was a familiar figure through the whole system.  I was Chief Jetman then on the old pelt. We were cradled at Venus Allisile, scheduled for a direct jump to Great Lakes, Illinois, on Earth. I was checking in to Dunnage when Riesling pelt his way up the gangway and came through the line. Riesling. Who's that? Mike Hertzman. Hertzman, Hertzman. Well, what are you doing on this old home? Figured I'd ride her back to Earth. Earth. Are you going home, Riesling? I thought you were never going to make that run. I've been hankin' to set foot in the Ozarks again. How about those hills? I've been singin' about them for so long now, Hertzman. I've got to finish this song. I've got to set foot in the door yard and hear the wind through that oak tree. About the last thing I'll be doin' I've got to get home before... Riesling has a new company policy. You see, Hertzman, I'm gettin' just a little old. Riesling, listen. No more deadhead rides. The new codebook is enforced. I've seen codebooks come and go. The skipper's one of them youngsters fresh out of Harrowman Institute cadet training. He's liable to throw the book at you. And me? I've been around space as long as Halley's comin' and Brewster's Ridge. I'm goin' back to Earth. Cool green hills of Earth. I'm goin' home. All secured, Hertzman. That's Riesling, Captain. Riesling, huh? I'm dragging it back to Earth, Captain. Not on this ship. Hertzman has his man remote. Funny thing, Captain. I sprained my shoulder, suddenly.  You're pretty new out here. I'm goin' home. You don't know what that means to an old man goin' home. I can't take it. Against the Harrowman call. Oh, now, look, Skipper. You can slide me by to the Distress Spaceman's clause in that codebook. Distress Spaceman, my eye. You've been bummin' around the system for 30 years. Skipper, you make me do something I've never done for no one before? I'm an old man. An old blind man, and I want to go home.  The law says a man's got a trip coming to him. You can stretch for a poor old blind man, can't you? You gotta, Skipper. But keep out of the way. I run an efficient ship, and I don't want any trouble. No, sir, no trouble. I'll just lay down to the power room. I kinda like to be near the jets when they blast off. For Earth.  Thanks, Mac. Stand by for left. Stand by. Best seat in the system. Power room and an old hog grass ship. Power room, fire train. I see. You're still singin' that recently? Long summer. I changed your little. Gonna finish her now, Mac. Going home to finish her? Yeah. Have you seen those new automatic dampers, Reisling? Don't have to do nothin', but sit and watch. Where's the peeper? Turned off. She's all automatic. You have it soft nowadays. When I was twistin' her tail, he had to stay awake. You got an old hand dampin' plates on? All but the links. I hand-shipped them, they cover up the dials. You might need them. No, the automatic's handled. Finally going home, Reisling, huh? Won't seem the same out past the moon. I've been waitin' for this a long time, Mac. Gonna be good to get home, I reckon. The archin' sky is callin' spaceman back. I can hand-damper now. What's goin' on in there? This is Reisling on watch. Reisling? Don't worry, skipper. I know this power room. Inside of my shirt, somebody's got a damper. Reisling, I'm sent. Skipper, throw on the recording tape. What? Throw on the recording tape. I want to get somethin' down. Chainsaw and Reisling. Sunburn. Bear him in a lead shield. Close it. Okay, skipper. She's clean. The radiation's gettin' brighter. I can almost see. Bright, rosy like the sun. Like the sun over the hills down here. I got my song figured right now. Here it comes. We pray for one last land on the globe that gave us birth. Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies of the cool, green hills of Earth. I can see them now. They're huge. They're sun. I can see the sun. That's the way he died. Reisling, the blind singer of the spaceways. Singing of the home he never reached. The cool, green hills of Earth. Same time next week for another adventure into the unknown world of...


Here we are on the old Portman Bridge. The last day the public will be allowed on it and This is this is a historic day in the province. The new bridge is opening over here. It'll save people up to an hour a day What would you do if you had an extra hour every day? How would you spend that? It's a good question to get to ask yourself


Hi everybody, welcome back We are you are live at 527. Well, I'm two minutes late here Thanks to my producer Stephen and my executive producer Jordan and my board op Kevin. We really appreciate it man We got a lot to talk about we got 33 minutes to talk, but first I've got to thank town meeting TV Look at that That's a cool hat and then a cool tote bag to put the hat in I'd like to thank Emily. Thanks, Sam. Thanks, Megan Appreciate you guys as always the best Coverage of town meeting day, which is my favorite day of the year is only on town meeting television So what but what we're doing today is we're basically doing a recap I'm gonna start at the top We got a new mayor Now, I don't know if Kevin has a picture of Emma Mulvaney Stanek if we can show that that would be great There she is with the Ukraine flag in the back. Congratulations Emma. You did a great job. You ran hard The progressives had a big big day on Tuesday now as a passionate Democrat You have to tip your cap sometimes when things don't go your way. I Knew when I was at the polls You could just really feel the progressive wave coming especially where I was in Ward 2 Thanks to all my friends in Ward 2 and I had a big victory also some new city councillors Carter new bizer I'm sorry that my friend Hannah King lost. I'm sorry Jeff hand loss This show is not a recap of every race because it's already been a week away So if you were interested in finding out about the races you already have Emma ran a very very strong race. We We ran a good candidate in Joan Shannon I'm a candidate that been around for over 20 years. So had a lot of good things for her but also had You know, she's well known and so people had their opinion made up about Joan and I have to say I I'm a little upset. I today I saw a sticker on the street somewhere on a mailbox or something that showed a picture of Joan and Donald Trump together and I I don't think she deserved that She's a moderate Republic. I mean moderate Democrat. Sorry about that and She was kind of I think there she is Joan still on the council I think she's awesome and I'd like to thank you and your team Hannah King her daughter her husband They all did a great job the thing is after four years of Four terms of Merrill Weinberger You know, it's gonna be tough for the Democrats to repeat that would have been 15 years in office five terms Now there's an old saying That third terms are tough and four terms are impossible and I think that was kind of the case We ran into a lot of social issues here the fentanyl the drugs the the crystal methadrin the Suboxone a lot of homelessness also still ending up from the ravages of COVID and all these kind of put together was a perfect storm that you know a Progressive or liberal challenger could come in and challenge the status quo Because Joan and Merrill were the status quo. There's no question of that and so today of course I'm always always always supporting the Democrats, but we've got to tell a little truth here We got out beaten. Um, I think that Emma was able to tap into She was able to tap in an amazing research, which is young people Young people that were very fired up and we'll go knocking on doors five six seven nights a week and That's tough to beat. Um, I Again, I want to congratulate Emma. So what's gonna happen? Excuse me is We're gonna have a council seven Seven Democrats and five progressives. So we're gonna have a progressive mayor and we're gonna have a City council that is dominated by Democrats. So there's gonna be some I think what they're gonna try to do is kind of put it together here I think my friend Ben Travers who is in Ward five He won a big reelection by over 800 votes I think he is the leading candidate to be city council president He or Mark Barlow that did it very well and Sarah carpenter We have a lot we also have some things to be happy about all three ballot items past overwhelmingly school board a bond issue on the electric company and also Some more money for public safety, which we all agree. I think we all agree was the number one issue in the campaign Now The progressives had a lot to answer for they had on their reign in 2020 They what they didn't do they did not They did not defund the police that is not the case and I want to state that I think that's a Republican trick But what they did was they did not For example a policeman after 20 years retires or moves to another job or moves out of state They did not replace that policeman. And so we were at dangerously low levels I think Emma now Emma wasn't part of that. She's part of the she is a state representative and I Think I think public safety in Montpelier is a big issue. I know it is with Governor Scott now Talking about Emma's seat. She has a she is a Statehouse person so what I'm thinking and I haven't talked to her about it I saw an election day is I think that she will resign that and I wouldn't be surprised if her Her her campaign manager and also whose city councilor he didn't run again A friend of mine a guy named Joe McGee. I don't know if we have a picture of Joe smoking Joe McGee good guy I have a feeling that he will be named to her seat Emma if you're watching that I think it would be a good appointment Joe worked very very well with the Democrats He's a great advanced man. He's done advanced work for former president Barack Obama and also did a lot of advanced work for Congressman Peter Welch when he was running for Senate so You know what we have here is a kind of a changing of the guard it's kind of interesting morrow and Karen Paul and Joan Shin and will not be running for Marin three years Joan has one more year on city council. I would kind of think that would probably be it after I think 22 years or 20 and You know maybe time for her to do something else because it's very very time-consuming You get calls at home at night you get emails. You have to do a lot of prep Usually you meet with your caucus and then you you have the meetings So, you know, we're talking about a lot a lot of work for five thousand dollars in pay, which is not very much I'd like to see their pay go to about ten thousand dollars Maybe a hundred dollars a meeting or so something like that. Yeah, maybe a little bit more But again kudos to Murrow Weinberger. He my friend maybe we can get a picture of him up Kevin I thought he did a great job as mayor. I really did now. I am a moderate Democrat. I'm a Ted Kennedy Democrat and so I I I'm not as progressive as some people are in Burlington. Definitely not as progressive as Emma but What I think Emma was able to do and Murrow I'd like to thank you I swore him in for a second term. That was a great honor for me He asked me to do that and I also just recently Registered his daughter Leland Weinberger who is a senior in high school and was turning 18 So when her dad became mayor, she was six years of age. She was in first grade Now she's going to be a college a high school graduate and on the way to hopefully a wonderful college So I'd like to thank her her mom Stacy Weinberger and her sister Ada Really really great family. Um, these are good people Murrow really cares about Burlington And it'll be anxious to see his next move. I personally think I'd like to see him Working in Washington in the in the Biden administration and I know he's interested in He's interested in running for governor Unfortunately for us. We have the most popular governor in the United States. I think his approval rating boy. Kevin. You are sharp, man His approval rating is close to 80 percent now. I wish he spent some more time up here and He he has not tackled the crime and the drug issue like I would I would I would say I think housing people in motels is is Sure, maybe it worked for COVID but you know, it's a rough life living in just a little room and But you know what he's an honest good man. I'd like to thank him for his good work He cares about Vermont. He was just at a state dinner President Biden invited him in and he brought his mother So anyone who brings their mother to a state dinner has got to be all right Phil is looking very very strong for reelection. I think this will be his last term This will be 10 years for him. This will be five election cycles and again unlike 48 of the 50 states except for New Hampshire and Vermont They run four-year terms.  He gets sick of the campaigning I know he likes to drive his race car I know he likes to just do stuff, but the governor is always very strictly on a schedule has a state trooper Driving him and you know has basically a stuff going on seven days a week. So governor Scott You're a good man. I'd like to see you in Burlington more often. I'd like to see you in the new north end. I Still can't figure out your policy on drugs We cannot arrest our way out of this But even though, you know, I asked Emma at the at the polling place. I said Emma If someone's selling fentanyl, do you think they should be arrested and she said absolutely and I agree We have a drug here unlike any drug that in my long career 60 years of life and to be honest my generation we did plenty of drugs, okay But fentanyl is just so scary. It's so so scary It requires multiple injections a day. It's it can kill you at any time and It's really the devil's medicine. Stay away from it. Don't ever try it. I've never even seen it I don't want anything to do with it. It's cancer. It's poison. It's poisoning our community Anyone who's bringing that stuff into our community is a criminal and deserves to go to prison for a long long time So Emma is going to have to deal with some issues. She's going to have a divided city council They're going to want to work with her But they're not going to give her everything she's got She is going to be I think one thing what she will probably do is she will probably move a little to the center and Try to govern center left. I think that's the best strategy for Emma and you know the one thing that we have coming up, which is really going to be rough is we have a We have some budget cuts. We have some serious stuff going on And you know our COVID money is gone and we had a lot a lot of money coming in that money is Is history so there's going to be some budget cuts. There's going to possibly be I hear by rumor There's possibly going to be some job cuts in Burlington. We have over 800 city employees for 45,000 people 42,000 people. That's a lot. That's a big ratio So we'll see what's going to happen there Let's talk about Let's go. Let's flip over to the state here All our all our officers will be up for election in November that includes can we get a picture of them? I saw him at Seth Meyers Maybe mr. Zuckerman as lieutenant governor that includes Doug Hoffer as auditor that includes there he is and that's an old Picture he's cut his ponytail and he donated it for locks for love which is wigs for people with cancer David's a good guy We had fun at Seth Meyers really really great Stand up. He did two shows at the Flynn. I'd like to thank the Flynn and mr. Meyers for Letting me do a voter reg there. I registered five people to vote special thanks to my friend AJ Fusil at the Flynn and Obviously it went right through mr. Meyers management Now Seth we did the show on Saturday on Monday. It was his 10th anniversary. He had president Biden on so pretty cool He was he wasn't just funny. He was smart funny Seth. Hey, there he is Okay, let's talk about this guy Boy, did he kick he kicked it man for state. I was gonna say town meeting day state of the union Absolutely exceptional speech and he took on the Republicans.  He stood tall He's so used to being in the political thick of it that he did a great job I liked all the people that he and dr. Jill Biden and maybe we can show her Invited to the ceremony. I liked what he talked about. I'm thinking about about 10 things I liked he talked about. I liked what he talked about immigration that Because you're here illegally. There's got to be a path for citizenship Remember anyone watching this show me included my grandfather came here from Ireland with $50 Okay, he knew one person and he had a leg up because he could speak English But think if you come here, you don't know anyone. It's cold. It's winter. You've had a rough thousands of mile trip God knows what's happened to you on the route you cross the cold Rio Grande and you're in America That's tough man. That's really tough Getting back to the getting back to the state of the Union. He I Likeed what he talked about about protecting trans rights. I liked what he talked about with Roe versus Wade That you know that used to be the law of the land. We see how Trump Trump's biggest success was Was getting these three justices on the court Brett Kavanaugh Neil Gorsuch and Amy Amy Something I'm sorry and Amy Ford They're all very conservative and they're all young. They're gonna be on the court for a long time We're we're in a bit of a jam on that What we need is we need to add to the Supreme Court and this is so vital that That president Biden is reelected because my god, they could have six or seven on the court and right now it's six three If our if our members passed away or had to quit We'd really be in trouble He also talked about You know affirmative action. Sure. Maybe it needed some changes. Okay. It's an old program. It dates back from the 70s 1979 But mend it don't end it as Jesse Jackson always says I think people sometimes who are in tough circumstances need a leg up need a helping hand Our country has been built by immigrants and You know, our country is changing the the white power elite is on its way out We're gonna be primarily Hispanic in 20 or 30 years. Well, we'll be more than 50 percent Hispanic And we see that black lives matter trans lives matter Hispanic lives matter Indigenous people matter Now, I'll tell you one thing I always like about president Biden was he He he nominated the head of Indian affairs, which is a very important cabinet position Um, remember the Indian Indian affairs. They have millions of acres out west and he As our secretary He has appointed an Indian indigenous native to be secretary first time ever So for all these years our indigenous friends who we so screwed over And left on crummy land and the reservations so rough We're always administered by or dictated by A white male now those days are over I'd like to thank him for cabinet's point and I see a lot I see that, um Our friend Kamala Harris the vice president has really picked it up And seemed to assume more a leadership role. She had a great picture of her Um, she was over in europe with our with her with all our allies now again It seems like donald trump Is for the russians that makes him a traitor in my eyes What does putin have on on donald trump? He has something How could you not be for the ukrainian people first? russia annexes Crimea Okay, that's like taking new england. Okay, canada's taking new england. There he is boy What a devious bastard he is man I disliked that guy because so much blood on his hands And now as we see that sweden and finland are nato You know, I think he feels his back is against the wall We want to work with him But we need a ceasefire in ukraine and we need them to return to the previous positions that they took We see We see that the russian army is not as fallible Is this their vietnam? Is this their afghanistan? It seems like it they're taking a lot of casualties It's you know, it's so sad they're they're grabbing guys out of prison and saying if you know you fight You know almost like commando kamikaze type stuff You'll be freed and these poor guys ended up just using as cannon fodder Unfortunately, we're still fighting over there kind of a world war one trench warfare But with modern weapons and drones So it is very very difficult war and Cold it's it's a little colder than here and Do you imagine fighting all february outside in a trench? I don't think you do um Okay, I got 14 minutes. So I want to keep keep talking about uh, the state of the union I liked what he talked about about these large corporations Not paying their taxes not paying their fair of chair pair share of taxes They pay so many school and these shell companies that these companies use In europe are really really a scam or in other countries and You know if you can believe under trump he God, you know, I have to laugh because it sounds like I'm making this stuff up, but he Took the budget of the irs And and you know cut it like a third now. We all know we need the irs. Okay internal revenue How does our country run without it? it doesn't So again some takes from the uh from the uh From the state of the union one that uh President biden doesn't mind getting in and mixing mixing around with uh Mixing around with the republicans Marjorie taylor green wearing a trump hat inside the house chambers Now, how do you support a trader like that? Who is not supporting ukraine in the war is not supporting nato Um, does not support a woman's right to choose does not support affirmative action Does not support drug You know, we're gonna have to do something about this drug problem in america before it licks us because if this if the next generation Of people are on these narcotics You know, we're done. We're really done. They're so strong They're such poison that they really really ruin your life Now let's talk about someone who's watching this and maybe has a drug problem or their brother or sister or friend or mother or grandmother has a drug problem The state has a lot of resources. They have counseling they have They have drug treatment, you know Medicaid will pay for someone to go to rehab. Obviously with drugs is strong. You've got to be away From them. They're just too strong The number to call for that and also for covet if you have questions about covet covet is not over 211 Thank you, kevin Boy, you're really in sync today. Good job, brother My friend My friends Everyone needs to get that covet shot. Please. Um Or your booster. I've gotten five shots over the last couple years. I think I need to get another one Coven is not gone. If you're in a spot where you have a lot of people Don't be afraid to put your mask on. No one's going to laugh. No one cares We want you to live over one million people in america died of covet Why donald trump's response was to deny deny deny um Not push the vaccine again. He could be impeached on so many different levels He's really a terrible person and if you love this country, you are not supporting him Um, we talk about january 6. We still see people being in prison for their role in january 6 Attacking the capital Destroying the capital urinating in the capital vandalizing the capital Threatening representatives and senators and a vice president's life I really think if mike pence or uh, uh alex aoc Or nancy plosie if the mob had gotten close to them, they would have killed them and that is murder Okay You know anyone can go into the capital every day and get a tour and sit and watch the senate and the house Okay, you can call your congressman's office congresswoman's office and do that but to break in to vandalize to To destroy the capital And it really means you don't care about your country Now i'll tell you let's let's do a little bit more about state of the union Uh, I guess senator lehi was invited to take pictures. He's no longer senator. There he is He's a great photographer a great guy We'd like to thank you senator lehi you and marcel such wonderful people My friend i'm glad you're keeping your hand in in vermont And living in in burlington part-time and also in washington. I'm sure he's on senator lehi He's on so many boards and councils always so giving of his time I'd like to thank some of his people carol and dweyer and john tracy And john gedro. They're now in retirement and Senator lehi god bless you man. You've been so kind hired me worked on campaigns for me with me Helped us out just a great guy one of the nicest guys i've ever met and also let's talk about our new senator senator peter welch Who was at the other areas that's an old picture of him and I believe that's at the state house in montpellier We'll have to maybe get a more up-to-date picture But peter you are the man you've been so kind to me. I had so much fun working on your campaigns Thanks for hiring me. Thanks for always being so kind you and margaret your dear wife Doing such a great job. He's on some great great committees Now let's talk about the senior senator the man The hero of the left our friend bernie sanders. Hey, that's a great picture of bernie Boy, nobody like him and in the history of the senate. I don't think Someone who's come up Through the ranks, you know when he first started running in the 70s he'd get two or three percent And he's grown he's evolved and our state has evolved. I I about there he is Uh, I really believe that about 95 percent that he's going to run for reelection. Um I uh, I think he will announce probably in may or so and um You know, he'll be tough to beat. I'll be helping him. I'll hopefully be working with him We'll be registering a lot of voters Now let's go to our new congresswoman Boy, she's doing a great job. She's on so many good committees.

She's on some great committees. She's doing very very well She's running for reelection. I endorse her wholeheartedly. I endorse bernie sanders Uh, senator welch was so nice he doesn't have to run for a reelection for For four more years.

We uh, we got beaten by a strong strong candidate who Maybe worked a little harder and was able to get a coalition of younger people And the progressives have consistently consistently beaten us in town meeting I'd like to thank my friend adam roof who did such a good job. We also held several several City council positions including my friend ben travers including um Including sarah carpenter and so we're going to have a strong council What i'd like to thank i'd like not thank what i'd like to say to everyone Please is that try to work together with emma Let's find some common ground emma is much more progressive than i am But you know what i've you have to kind of see the writing on the wall and realize that uh That the progs had their day and uh again the ability of the progressives to And get young people interested and involved in In campaigning especially in the cold winter nights when they're out Knocking on doors seven nights a week that really adds up you do that for six or seven weeks. You are really flying Again also congratulations to carter new hyzer A friend of mine who we do a lot of done a lot of voter registration of real liberal guy So we'll see how these you know You know sometimes the progressives have some very high flying ideas and They sound good on paper, but who's going to pay for them? How are they going to be implemented? So we're going to have to see How the progressives do running the city We haven't had a progressive mayor in a long long time 12 years And that you know that was that was still in president obama's first term I've got four minutes left So again i'm going to wrap up If you know anybody that is hungry has income insecurity Is worried about paying their rent or their heating bill There's a lot of programs that can help and that would be 2 1 1 you can call the state the state That's a state number and that is toll free Also, you can call me We're about seven and a half months away from the general election and you can give me a call I'd be glad to register anyone to vote My telephone number is 802 five four oh 07 1 7 that's 802 five four oh 07 1 7 I'd like to thank Everyone here town meeting television was outstanding on town meeting day and for someone who's And you're everyone's going to laugh Don't laugh steven or kevin, but my favorite day by far of the year Is town meeting day?

Some people are in ward four that were in ward two Uh, some people are in ward three one and eight have changed a little bit so By the time of the next election You know, it's always good to find out you can always call city hall.

We have a lot of college students that leave town We have people that pass away people move um You know, if you're moving if you're moving out of town or you're graduating and leaving Maybe just let city city hall know and we can keep these roles up to date But the people that did come out um They really cared and they showed they cared and I have to again congratulate ml. Movaney stanek our new mayor She will be sworn in on april 1st Um, what will happen will be a city council meeting They'll also decide who the new city council president is and I think that's either going to be mark barlow from the new north end or I think it might be um My friend ben travers from the south end who I worked on his campaign.

Hi guys, I am going to hopefully get this video uploaded without having to do any Editing I'm probably too close to the camera. The lights are probably too bright But I wanted to just I've been so busy because I've been trying to post a bunch of my wigs to sail and I posted some on my Facebook beauty page, which I will link for you in the description box below and I've also Posted some on the wig studio one sell it Sunday So my wigs are going very very very reasonable and I'm going to talk to you a little bit about that in a moment But if you are new to my channel, please, please consider liking thumbs up the video a like just hit that little like button Goes a long way to telling YouTube that my content has some relevance And don't you feel sometimes like as a mature woman that you're invisible? I know I feel that way often on YouTube that I'm invisible but you'll like if you thumbs up the video if you like the video and Obviously more importantly if you subscribe to my channel if you're not already subscribed that would help me out Tremendously and I'm probably going to say that a couple of times throughout the video because I've been told that people need to have a little bit of a gentle reminder so anyways, I am going to link my my Facebook beauty page below and One thing I want you to know because I know that one of you bought one of the wigs and I kind of maybe forget to mention this but depending on What you are watching this video on whether it's your cell phone whether it's your your laptop your your Whatever you're watching it on really all depends on the quality of your screen How many pixels it has etc? I don't know if that's the right word for it, but colors look different in yes different lightings and But also on different screens So it's always a good idea if you're going to buy a wig whether it's from me or from anyone And if they tell you what the color is like this is shaded cappuccino Shaded cappuccino Raquel Welch I absolutely love this shade in real life. It's got a lot of blending. It's got a lot of blonde It has a lot of brown in it. This is probably my my preferred shade But it looks different in different wigs from Raquel Welch not all shaded cappuccinos Look the same it depends on the hair length and all of that how much blonde I love the way Raquel Welch does their their caps because they do have some of the blonde But I have one that has so much blonde in the beginning in the front that it looks like it's white, you know And so the the Blending of the fibers, I guess it differs from wig to wig Even in the same line So that's always something to be aware of so if I'm looking at a color Google that color and then I go on YouTube and I I and I look at many different wigs Even if it's not the wig I want, but it's the color I want I want to just see what it's going to be like So I'll do that often And that really kind of helps and I I definitely recommend that and also if you are a first time wig wearer And you just want to wear alternate hair or you want to save the wear and tear on your hair The first time you put it on your head. You're going to freak out because it's going to be so much more hair Than you ever anticipated, you know, you you just didn't expect that right you used to not having as much hair and You can always strategically thin a piece out bring it to your stylist have them thin it out But just be prepared for that you're going to feel like bozo the clown The first time you put something on your head that you if you haven't had a wig on Even toppers I feel the same way. So I'm hoping this is not too close I've never really filmed with the camera as close as it is now And I think the reason I did that is I wanted to show you For for instance this ring and I wanted to show you a couple of different things that I Then I bought one of the things that I bought which I haven't even opened yet is a phone a clip flip Merrick it I spent more money for this than I wanted to buy spend but I'm looking to I Want to really vlog a little bit more. That's that's a lot of what I really like to do So you're going to be using your phone when you do a lot of that when you're out and about so I wanted to be able to do this the You know selfie style with the best possible Camera so when you use the front-facing camera, obviously you're not going to be able to see you, right? Or whatever. It's called the rear or the front. I always get them confused So this contraption supposedly sits on the top of your phone selfie stick tripod with a little mirror So you can actually be using the best quality camera in your phone And you can actually see yourself while you're doing it. So I think that's kind of cool Really major cool I I Gosh, I I want you just mentioned briefly and I and I'm I don't want to draw Any undue attention or create it or create any difficulties But for those of you and I know some of you have actually reached out to me about this and I appreciate that very much Natalie the beauty diva is no longer on YouTube and not because she wanted to leave YouTube It was because she was closed down for the most ridiculous thing ever without a warning and that's really all I'm going to say I will tell you that Natalie is Devastated about this happening absolutely devastating Devastated and some of you know that she's been going through health issues And so those of you that have reached out were worried that maybe there was a major thing happening And that's why your channel is gone. No her channel would still be up and she would still be here with us and Because YouTube was her was a big part of her life It was like in a way she had described it sort of as a legacy for her You know grandchildren in the future to come and say hey look at this grandma type of thing You know how what she was or how much she thought she was I think she said something like that and For all of that to just be gone suddenly without any warning is just Unbelievable and we all are just like heartbroken and devastated for Natalie I don't know what the resolution is. I know that we're working on resolutions You know trying to build awareness trying to reach out to contacts on YouTube world and see but I don't know And I know it's going to happen, you know, but it's very it's very heartbreaking for her. She is over on Instagram So for those of you that are Instagram Natalie the beauty diva She's trying to really get acclimated to that platform to do things there I mean Instagram can be a ton of fun and But you know is the learning curve, right? So that's where she is I'm sure she would love it if you popped over and and gave her a hello and a cyber hug over there Just really really awful what's happened to Natalie. So I Degress in the sense. I didn't want to mention too much about it because I don't want to Draw I didn't do attention and maybe hamper or things that might be happening. I don't know but Quite a while ago, you know, I love to to show jewelry. I do like my earrings. I you know, I I just I like jewelry and Quite a while ago and I've reviewed pieces from other jewelry companies before but I was reached. I was contacted by Maxine and This is a jewelry company and I love their presentation. They Their mission I just really let me just read this to you really briefly It's not a diamond, but it has the same sparkle as a real one Maxine's designs are based on natural and emotionally colorful Elements such as ocean flowers rainbow love, etc. Our unique designs come from superior processing technology and skilled craft Men's delightful higher-end costum silver jewelry can bring more confidence elegance and optimism To women, which is also the dream Maxine jewelry wants to realize Anyways, they had reached out to me and asked me if I would be interested in and reviewing one of their pieces and And I said, yes, but you know, you'd like anything else you want to know is their stipulations and they wise stipulations They had a contract that they Wanted me to abide by I read the contract and I said I'm not I'm not interested in the contract was not outrageous But it was to approve Before publication a video and I'm not gonna do that. So I said I'm not interested So then they said well if we send you something would you you know, just talk about it if you want I said yes, I would agree to that. So they sent This and it's really is pretty. I'm in a superimposed. It's too bad my hands are not pretty hands, you know I'm not a hand model, but This ring is really really really pretty. I absolutely love it And I don't think it's gonna show up here, but they sent this ring And they sent These earrings which have not yet tried on They're dangling earrings and oh my gosh, they I should put them on I'll take my sports shoes off and put them on because They're really really pretty.  I love the clip. I love how they go on now Can you see that? I just think that is so so pretty I Love the yellow stone. So I have a I have in it's the Swartzies meets the Bella Swartz Swartzies, I know I'm saying that wrong, but I have the Bella Swartzies and a number of different colors and one of them is a pink color and when I got the pink I had an outfit that I knew that it would look perfect for and I also saw the yellow But I didn't get the yellow so I Was actually thrilled To get this yellow because I think this Looks so so pretty anyways. It came Delightfully packaged. It has a gift bag that has a ribbon on it really pretty. It also has a storage bag This is a silver Seal bag airtight. You can put it in there because you know silver can tarnish, right? So I thought this was awesome and then they sent a polishing Cloth so that you could polish the pieces They also sent really I mean the box is beautiful And I guess this also has a matching necklace. I think I saw on their website That would be kind of cool to have you know to have a Three-piece set like this. I just think this is pretty so I obviously I'm not going to be trying to pretend. This is real, but oh my gosh I will wear this and I will if you if we ever meet up in real life You might see me if I have something yellow or black on because this would be beautiful with yellow and Black absolutely beautiful. So I will most definitely wear this. I just thought it was absolutely gorgeous and They have a couple of different rings. I guess in the same stone But I thought the square necklace was super super pretty I was kind of hoping it would be in here But I went through everything and they look it wasn't but I'm thrilled with what I got anyways I will link all their information below and again. This is a maxing and They I guess have their specialty is going to be the colored stones Which I think I think that's really awesome So I really like that a lot The other thing I did this week and I'm not a big Sephora fan. You guys know that I Went to Sephora and I bought myself some eyeliners and I'm going to show you I'm a superimpose the The the clip I ended up getting a Brown I love my huda beauty Eyeliner I think I think that huda beauty eyeliner is the best eyeliner. I have ever ever had And I will buy it again, but I am on a mission to see if I can find something. I like as much That's more affordable. So I bought these three. These are the Sephora Of course Sephora had the big sale and I know everyone's talking about the Sephora sale and all that Well, I don't really do a whole lot of that But I did buy these three eyeliners and even though the purple one says it's a shimmer It really if the shimmer is if you can see on my hands The shimmer is really Beautiful it is not a bold shimmer You're probably picking up a shimmer on the top here and that is because I have also purchased This eye shadow topper and it's a shimmer topper. I wanted to have and I don't have it on now I wanted to have something that was a little bit pink or Or something like that. So I just wanted it for the corner I don't know if I'm doing it halfway decent here, but I just wanted it for the corner You really can't even see so I picked this up at the sale and I think everything like Sephora brand was like 30% off and Prices like that. So it was like a really I think it was a really good price I then went to the cosmetic company store because the cosmetic company store this week was having a six $60 They have they have incredible sales at the cosmetic company store if you have one They have incredible sales. They don't they didn't announce that sale, but I did know it was happening So I had stopped by up in when Jay and I went up to the lakes region. I had stopped by and Hoped against hope that they would have my Estee Lauder in pebble and they did not so I didn't get it I am looking to pick and try a new foundation. I'm in it. I'm gonna buy it I I don't know if I like these liners as much as I love that who to beauty Then I'll stick to these but if not, I'm gonna go pick up that who to beauty brown liner It's way more money, but I really like it and then Clara had talked about one of the who to beauty palettes, I forgot the name of it now and oh My gosh. Anyway, she did an eye. She did it. I'll link her video She did one eye and the other using that palette, but just the different sides of the palette Because she does a beautiful job on her eyes I there's no way I can even compare to coming close to doing that type of a you know Being able to create that but I was like, whoa, baby Look at that palette and it like kind of made my juices flow to think about buying a palette Because I haven't been wanting to buy any palettes So I will when I go back into Sephora. I mean if these hold up, I'll be very happy with that I Really like the purple the shimmer and it's not super shimmery on my eyes. I really like that a lot It looked really good. I did it. I wore it to work the other day so and When I go into silver, I'm gonna take a look at that palette because I'm just really curious about it. I Did I did go into altar as well And I bought my my universal Poiless putty primer. Hi, you know what? I this is still the primer that I really like. I really like that. So Anyways, it is a little bit past my six month anniversary of having used my lead LED I should call face mask the one from Candy Way, which I know there's many different brands out there I have the one that was that was that's from Candy Way They did send that to me and I'm not a big youtuber So I don't expect to get on me like so any of those other big brands to you know, reach out to me in general so when When Candy Way had reached out to me back and I think it was the end of March and I had gone away and came back To see if I wanted to review their LED mask I was like, yes, and I love their story, you know And I loved how responsive they were and small company and I just really like supporting the small companies Because I feel they support me in that sense. They give me a chance, you know So I love the a brand story and they sent their LED mask to me So it's gonna be it's a little over six months. I'm a little bit late so my next video I'll talk a little bit more about how we feel about that but I've been using it consistently and I Really, I mean there are some days.

I I sometimes have read like I did reach out to Omni Lux to ask if they would consent and they never even how do you do? type of thing But I Have been trying the hand and I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about that a little bit as well because I think that has been Oh, it's been about two to almost three months to the hand therapy that I've been using so I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about the hand therapy and I'm gonna talk about what I've been using for my helmet the head the hair thing and Then of course give you an update on my my candy way my LED stuff.

On the question of private sector investment in CBA and adaptation more broadly, I think we actually have to recognize that there are two different questions we're asking. So there's one question, which is the dominant question I think in the climate negotiations, which is, can we mobilize large amounts of private investment into adaptation activities? So basically large amounts of foreign capital into adaptation, and I'm very skeptical that we can. I think adaptation activities, if you're targeting the most vulnerable and the poorest communities, some of them might have returns on investment, but they're going to be very small. It's going to be really hard to have returns at a scale that are going to interest foreign investors. And even if you do get returns that are large enough, adaptation is such a locally contextual activity that if you find a way to scale up in a way that's friendly to private investors, you might lose some of that context. And so you might end up with maladaptation activities that aren't appropriate in some places and so on. Now there's a second question that I think is much more interesting, which is how do you engage private sector actors at the local level and domestically? And this question I think is absolutely key. I think for any sustainable adaptation strategy, for any sustainable development strategy, you have to engage private sector actors. Smallholder farmers themselves are private sector actors. How do you engage them in an economically sustainable way? How do you build domestic capacity in various industries and service provision and so on as part of a sustainable development strategy? That's the question I think we need to be asking. I've been quite happy to see that that's the question that a lot of people are asking here at the CBA conference instead of the first question. But I think that's also the question that we need to ask in the broader climate negotiations in places like the Greek climate fund. How is the Greek climate fund going to reach local small and big size enterprises? I think those are the right questions. I personally don't have the answers, but I'd really like to see us focus on that aspect of the private sector rather than trying to mobilize huge amounts of foreign investments, which I just don't think is feasible.
