Alrighty, I have a really quick construction update for you guys today. This is gonna be a quick one, but I have a feeling this is a stepping stone to something big that I'm gonna film today. So as you can see, Thunder Run's ramp was slightly dug up and ripped up there. I'm starting to piece together what I think is actually gonna go on. I think they're gonna re-route Thunder Run's exit. And I feel like these buildings are being removed for a reason. Now that is jumping to a conclusion right now, but I just don't see how they can have these buildings done unless they are prefabricated buildings that they're going to install. Now a really key piece of information I want you guys to look at right now is these new forms that have gone in right there.  When I fly today, okay, because this is recorded at 10 in the morning Friday, when I go fly today, I'm hoping to see that thickness actually continue. If that is the case, that is really telling. So right there, that little mini arcade building that's next to the basketball game is coming down and being gutted. Also right there, I want you guys to pay attention. They're removing the Christmas lights in this area and more construction fencing has arrived. So there's gonna be more work and removals going on based off of that stock pile of construction fencing laying there. So this construction project is getting really interesting and I wanna start paying attention to the area heading out towards beside bat and maybe behind the bat because I have a feeling that this coaster could be heading out that way. But again, it's really hard to predict what's going on right now because we have two directions that this coaster could potentially go with what we're seeing at the park. This heavy duty concrete saw was being escorted out of the park when I flew so I don't know what it was doing. Obviously it being in the mountain area it was probably cutting up some inside the mountain concrete areas. But yeah, that's the construction update for you guys today.  Have a good one guys, bye.


If you have no idea how to run the beep test, just go to Google and type in how to run beep test. You get tons of articles, but here's some basic instructions and we'll go through them together quickly.  So put one cone down, then 20 meters ahead of you, you're going to put another cone down or some type of marker. Position yourself at one of the markers. This is where you will start. Then you're going to press the start button on your fitness test audio. I'll show you how to get that file and put it onto your iPhone. When you hear that beep, you're going to run to the other side. You're trying to get there before the next beep sounds. Now, if you get there and the beep still hasn't gone, you just wait there until you hear the next beep, then you start running back to the other side. So wait there until the beep sounds before running back to the other marker. Repeat this process for each shuttle until you are unable to keep up with the beeps. Remember, you must wait for the beep before starting the next shuttle. So if you get to the other side, do not start running back until that beep goes. Otherwise, you're cheating. When you miss a beep, you must continue to run to the marker in front of you. Turn at the end and try to catch up with the pace within two more beeps. The test ends when you fail to reach the opposite marker for two consecutive beeps. So if you're running to the other side and the beep goes before you get there, don't give up. You can still keep going. If you quickly get to the end, quickly get to that marker that you're already running towards and then you increase your speed, get back to the other marker before the next beep goes. If you try and you don't get to the other marker before the next beep goes, then you're done. That's two consecutive beeps where you didn't get to the marker in time. Your final score is the last level and shuttle you completed before missing a beep. So there's some other information on here if you want to read this. This is showing what average scores are or what some good scores are, but this is actually, I think this is more for just average healthy human being. This isn't specifically for athletes. Athletes should be a little higher, but let's say right in here I'm 21 to 30, so excellent would be 12.12 average, 9.13 if you're 14 to 16. There's some good indicators. What I'm going on is above 13 is excellent, anywhere from 11 to 13 is good. That's where you want to be in and you want to really strive to get above 13. Anything above 13, that's like really exceptional for athletes, especially soccer players, you want to be hitting the scores. So let me show you how to get the audio file. So just go on to YouTube and subscribe to my channel if you haven't obviously, but type in beep test full audio. So then this is the file that I use here and you can just download this and put it onto your iPhone. You may have a specific way of doing that. What do I use? So I would just take this URL. I use, I think it's called Mac X, let me see, Mac X YouTube downloader. And there's lots of ways to do it, but basically you would just, you can download this file, just search, or this software, just search for Mac X YouTube downloader, free download, something like that and you'll find it. So then I would just download the file and then I would put it into my iTunes and sync it to my iPod or my iPhone. So then when I'm running, I just, I have this little like weight belt or waist belt that I have for my iPhone. You may have an arm band. You may just have a nice pocket, but just start the audio and then get ready to go. And it's going to start in like five seconds and then you'll go and hit the, start the beep test and try to go for your best score. All right, so check this out real quick. I'm not supposed to have a camera in here actually, but I'm going to sneak this in for you guys, but I just set up some phones right here and some phones down there. And this is about 27 strides. I did a search on Google and it said 20 meters is about 27 strides of the average human being. So whatever your stride is, just make sure that you make it the same every time. Okay, so I'm just going to set this up in the corner and hopefully no one gives me a hard time. And I'll let you guys know how it goes. So I recorded myself running the test and only took about 11, 12 minutes. And I put it on super speed here. So it's going to take off pretty quick, but I just wanted to give you a few ideas so you can progress at a faster rate, get better results and improve your stamina. So first of all, if you saw my Snapchat, the first time I did this, I've only done this two times to date, but I'm going to keep doing it every Friday. And I want you to do it with me if you really want to improve your stamina. But the first time I did it, I got 11.7. The second time I did it was 11.11. Not as big of an improvement as I wanted, but moving in the right direction and I'm going to do even better next week. But a few ideas. So first of all, the beep test starts really slow. So I want you to conserve your energy in the beginning. Don't sprint to the other side and then wait as long as possible. Jog there and try to get there so you have time just to turn, take a deep breath and then go in the opposite direction. Instead of sprinting, resting, sprinting, resting, getting yourself unnecessarily tired before you have to, because the intensity is going to pick up and you're going to have to sprint back and forth. So while you can jog it out, focus on keeping your breath nice and calm. Next thing is starts. So that first step, really make sure that your first step is a nice, strong, powerful step because as you progress with the test, it's so important that you do have a quick, sharp start. If you don't, it's going to take away like a half a second, which can make a big difference when the speed really starts increasing for this test. Focus on your breathing and your running technique as you are doing these short 20 minute or sorry, 20 meter runs, eventually sprints, but really focus on your running technique and your breathing and focus on the sprint. Don't think about the test and the voice on the audio saying 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and you're thinking, oh, I just wish you would get to 12. Just focus on one sprint at a time and that will allow you to block out the unnecessary thinking about the future and just focus on the present. Focus on making the most of every single sprint and just doing the best that you can. Now it's really important that you focus on the beeps and the speed of the beeps because they increase as the test goes on and they even increase on each level. So for example, when it's at 7.1, it may be a little quicker at 7.7 and what I was saying in this video when I actually, I think I say it after this little clip is I didn't get as good of a score as I wanted because I lost my focus. It wasn't that I was totally out of breath and I couldn't run any longer. It's just that I didn't realize, hey, wait a second, the speed actually increased. I had to go faster. So the first time I did the test when I got to 11.7, yeah, I was like really out of breath. I was out of shape. But the second time I did it, I just lost focus and I kind of realized like after two beeps, I was like, hey, wait a minute, I'm just beef and I'm in the middle of the 20 meters. So really focus on the speed of the beeps because they will increase. So you got to make sure that you're keeping up with the speed as it increases. The last thing I want to say is if you have the option do this on grass, it's always better to run on grass, just better for your knees, your joints, your body. Anytime you have the option to run on grass as opposed to a gym floor or pavement, take the grass option and just one more thing. Don't worry about my score, worry about your own score. So hopefully your score is better than mine. I hope your score is better than mine. And I hope you realize that it doesn't matter that you're better than me or it doesn't matter if you're worse than me. All that matters is that you're doing better each week and you're improving your stamina each week. So if you're feeling scared and afraid of doing this and you think it's going to be really challenging, just do it. Just put yourself through it. Honestly, it only takes about 10 to 15 minutes. And if you can't put yourself through 10 minutes of pain, then you don't deserve to have stamina and you don't deserve to be a great player. So take those ideas into mind when you're running this test. So it'd be my time from last time. It wasn't as good. I kind of lost focus at the end there. I was just focusing on my running. I didn't realize this time really picked up. I think I could have got a bit more. But I beat my previous, which is 11.7, which is pretty bad, but I hadn't ran in three months. And this week, 11.1. So all you can be happy with is progression, not perfection. So just keep trying to beat your own score. Don't worry about my score. Worry about your own score and just try to beat that.

In this video, we'll use SOFA to analyze categorical data, using the item in the survey that asked people to pick their favorite color. First, let's find out if there's a significant difference in color choices by gender. Since this is categorical data, you want to use the CHI square test. Choose the correct table, and then the variables color and gender. Then show the results. Even though the graph shows a large difference in the proportion of males and females who like purple, overall there's no significant difference in color preference based on gender. We notice because the probability value is greater than .05. By the way, the color names are shortened to five letters, because that's all the survey software allowed us to use for the answer code. The next question is whether there's a significant difference in color choices overall, or are all the colors equally preferred? If you look at the totals in the table, you see a small number of people who like orange and yellow. Does that make the overall difference significant? To do this, you again need a CHI squared test, but it's a one variable test, and SOFA doesn't do these, at least not yet. Instead, go to this URL, SOFAstatistics.com slash CHIsquared.php, and enter the totals for each color along the top row, and then click Calculate. In this case, there really is a preference for colors, and it's significantly non-uniform, and we know this because the probability value is .001.

So as you guys can see, Isaiah's over here dogging these cookies. I'm done, I'm done, I promise. Yeah, and talking with this mouthful, I apologize on his behalf. I'm sorry, okay, all right. So you want to tell him what we're doing today? So you guys want to be nosy and I'm just kidding. We asked you guys on Instagram to basically, I guess DM us different questions that you guys want to know about Janice and I. That's pretty much it. And I feel like we haven't done like a Q&A where it's not like crazy juicy questions. It's just genuine, like getting to know us. And, you know, we do have a lot of new subscribers since the last time we got to getting to know us Q&A. That was a long time. Very long time, like probably two years ago, by now. Maybe even more. Like maybe, right? Either way guys, we're here to answer your questions that you guys want to know about us. So without further ado, let's get right into it. So I'm going to go ahead and read off the questions that you guys asked us and we're about to get right into it. How many questions do we have? Oh, that's a lot. There's a good amount here. That's a lot. But we're going to start off with how old are we? I'm 23. I'm 23. Here's young. I am older.  January and March is how many months apart? Oh my God. January, February, March, two months. January is month number one. March is month number three. No, it's not. That's not how that works. Well, I know I'm right. Considering you're 23 and I'm 24. That's literally two months. I thought you were talking about age. I'm like, when did you turn 24? Oh my goodness. Anyway. Next question is, is Janice really five-one? Yes! Do I have to show you guys my ID? She might be shorter than five-one. We don't know you. No, I'm not. I'm five-one and three-quarters. So I technically, five-two. Who told you three-quarters? My doctor. Yeah, doctor. I'm convinced you're like five-foot flat. No, I'm not. All right, well five-foot-one and three-quarters. Okay. Almost five-two. I'm five-eight. No, you're not. Five-nine. Everyone thinks that Isaiah's like five-five because we look the same height and like TikToks and stuff. I don't know what it is, but for everyone who meets us in person, they're like, wow, Janice is really small. But anyway. I'm not five-three. I'm not five-four. I'm not five-five. So stop in the comments. Thank you.  Yeah. Yeah. A couple of times. Gee, we've been together for almost six years. So what do you think? There's been a couple, not even like crazy or anything like that, but they've been like- It's never got to a point where like, you know, arguing, where we're yelling at each other's faces.  We just get aggravated with each other and then we'll just like give the other the silent treatment. That's how we handle our big arguments. Yeah. Did we go to college? Nope. And I'm happy to say that. I went to a vocational school, right? That's what it's called? No, you did trade. A trade school, yeah. I went to a trade school. I went to a cosmetology school. I have my cosmetology license in the state of Florida. I took a gamble and just started doing YouTube right after high school. And so far, it's working. Hope you're proud of me, mom. Next question is, do we like sports? Oh, I love sports. I'm all about sports. Basketball, baseball, football. I think that's it. Everything. No, that's like my three main though. Yeah, but you said you don't have fun playing soccer sometimes. Sometimes, but it's too much work. And like all that running and then I get down to one side of the field and then they just reverse it. I'm like, I'm not running all the way. I feel like in high school, you play soccer a lot with your friends. But now we're like... I did it, not on a team, just for fun. I feel like now we're like old and we can't really play sports as long as we used to. I gained weight from all them cookies. So it's like, I'm not as active as I used to be, but football, baseball, basketball, those are my three main, love them. Personally, I used to cheer, I used to compete and I dance, but I don't think... I'm not very much of a sporty person.  I'm really bad at them. I want you guys to guess. Who do you think is the better dancer in this relationship?  Anyway. Anyway. How is our families? How are families, if we're talking personality wise, I feel like my family is very, I would say old fashioned, but like fun. Like they're very lenient, very passive, chill, mellow. I feel like they're like me kind of. No, they're not. Your family's not mellow. Well, when I mean mellow, I mean like chill, like... No, they're not. So what are they then? I feel like Isaiah's family is very energetic. I feel like everyone's always like... I guess, I guess. If you're talking your mom's household, yeah, everyone's very energetic, but if you're talking your grandparents, they're very calm. Either way, what I'm trying to say is basically, it's always on a positive side. Like they're never like grumpy or mad or anything like that. It's always like cool vibes. His family's always like really fun to be around.  They get a bit annoying, but that's every family. But for the most part, yeah, it's fun to be around his family. My family, on the other hand, I can't really explain. I feel like your family's cool too. I feel like they're like on the fun side. They're like mostly positive and all that. Like I love being around your family. Like your aunts, both your aunts and then your parents, I love being around them. I just feel like a homey, cozy, peaceful vibe when I'm with them. And then when we're with our cousins, it's like world worth through. But it's fun. It's a big split. So I didn't really know how to like. It's fun. Both of our families are cool. They're fun to be around. I feel like our families are so, if you guys don't know, our families kind of like grew up with each other and we didn't know it. Yeah, we didn't know it. So our families share very similar personalities because they grew up on the same block when we were kids. Yeah, it's a lot of, it's small world. We're just gonna call it that. Very small world. We're just gonna call it that. How much money do we make on YouTube? Damn, that one got personal. Right? Damn! We're gonna say enough to pay the bills and then some. Yeah. That's a good answer. Yeah. We're just gonna move on. Yeah. Don't, we're not rich. I feel like a lot of people think YouTubers, well, there are a lot of YouTubers that are obviously rich. I wouldn't say we're rich. I'd say we have some. Everybody thinks that we're rich. Like, especially locally, everyone's like, we're rich. No, if I were rich, I'd be living in a house right now. But it's not about what you make. It's about how much you save. Remember that. What is our zodiac signs? I am an aqua, rius. Aquarius? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I say. Aquarius. I'm an Aries. Toxic. You're toxic. You're right. Let's not get into this. If we didn't have YouTube, what job would we have? Honestly, I'd probably still be working my old job, which was, I was like on the way. I guess I wasn't a accountant, but I really wasn't a real accountant. But I was like an under-the-table accountant. Seriously, you did the work without the title pretty much. Yeah, that was pretty much it. We'll go with that. The real title was Bookkeeper, but I might as well have been an accountant the next step up. Me personally, if I didn't have YouTube, I'd probably be trying to pursue my acting career and singing career. That's all very hard industry to get into. Yeah. So I don't know what I would be doing. You'd probably be a teacher. Have you considered a new pet? There's been so much talk between Janice and I about getting a new pet, and it's most likely getting a dog. But we don't wanna get a dog, but we do at the same time. It's like we can't imagine loving another dog as much as we love our current dog, Blooper. So I don't know, it's hard. Like we don't get the same time. It's so difficult because we're in love with pets, like dogs in general. And it's so hard because I want Blooper to have a companion when we're not home, but at the same time, like I don't want him to get jealous or feel like territorial. There's like a lot of what ifs. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff, but maybe who knows. Who knows? Down the line. Next question is, can Janice drive? Yes, Janice can drive. And I saw someone comment today actually saying, wow, strange, he got the car for her because I bought her a dream car, but yet he's the one always driving it. That's the way it's always been. When she had her own car that she bought her own car before, I was mainly the one, well, not mainly the one driving it, but every time we go out somewhere, I'm the one who's driving. Yeah, if we go out together, I just had really bad anxiety and it took a lot for me to actually get behind the wheel after I went, I had a car accident when I was like 15 and it was really bad. So that like scarred me mentally, physically, everything. It really did. So yeah, it's been a journey for me to get behind the wheel. So if I had the opportunity for someone else to drive, I'll take it. Next question is, are we religious? I mean, she used to be super religious for certain reasons. She's not as super religious anymore, but I would say yes, we're religious. We're just not like by the book. I feel like that's the best way to say it. I wouldn't say we're religious at all. I would just say that we believe in God and that's the way it is. That's being religious though. No, it's not. I feel like there's, I don't know. I feel like there's levels of being religious, like there's by the book religious and. No, cause like religion is just a bad name. Like I would say spiritual. I don't know. Call it what you want. I believe in God. I pray to Him every day, every morning, every night. I mean, we'll leave it at that. I try not to sin, we'll leave it at that. How long did it take for us to become official? So, Jenice and I knew each other since freshman year of high school, but we didn't get together until senior year of high school, just cause the timing was always off. If you guys wanna know exactly the story of that, you guys gotta go back to an old video of ours.  Our whole story is in that video, but it took us about like three, four years before we actually became official. Official couple. Flats for drums. Oh, flats all day. All day, flats. Every time I forget to ask for all flats in the restaurant, I get so upset. It's the support.  Especially if you get a drum and it has like a lot of fat and like just rubbery pieces of hot, man. Like the flats, you can't go home. It's like a waste. It is. It's kinda gross at the same time too. Yeah, like I just look at it and I'm like, damn, I don't wanna eat this, but I'm going to cause I'm hungry. Right. And then the last question is, has anybody came in between us or tried to come in between us in our relationship? Oh, that's a funny one. Is it just that one person we're both thinking of? I don't know what you're thinking of. Do you don't know what I'm talking about? No. You know what I'm talking about, who I'm talking about. What? You know who I'm talking about. The whole college scenario when we were thinking about going to college and this certain person stepped in and was like, yeah. You really don't know what I'm talking about. Oh, I mean, I'm not even thinking of that. I'm thinking of that. I'm thinking of like the question I think they're trying to say is like, has anyone tried to get at me or you well in a relationship to try to break us up? Nah, not necessarily try to break us up. For me, yeah. No one literally has came up and like try to break us up. There's been girls that have been like, I guess like a little flirty and obviously you know. A lot of flirty. I don't know what's a lot of person. Well, I know for me, like when I was going to cosmetology school, there was some guy that was like in love with me. Right, I remember that situation. That situation was kind of weird. I don't think anyone really tried to like break us up though. It was just people trying to like flirt with us. I think this guy really wanted to be with me though. All right, well at this point, he could catch the fade and we'll see how that goes. So, if you're watching buddy. No. Yeah, that's all the questions that we have. Well, if you guys want to ask more questions or you guys want to part two of stuff like this, just getting to know us more. Let us know down in the comment section below and also like this video. That's how we'll find out if you guys really like this kind of video. Other than that, that's pretty much it, right?  So, maybe you guys can ask us questions on there. We can do kind of like a live chat and read all the comments and, you know, give you guys shout outs and stuff like that and don't be pretty fun. Well, all right, infinite fan, it is time for today's post notification shout out. Today's post notification shout out goes out to Rosemary Brown. Shout out to you girl. Thank you so much for having your post notifications turned on. If you guys want to post notification shout out, all you guys got to do is like, comment, share, subscribe and turn your post notification bells on so you know if I will never repost a new video. And that's all there is to it. And with all that being said guys, see you guys in the next video.


Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! We have a wonderful season here at the Regent Theatre. Welcome to episode 4 of Regent TV. Tonight we are very excited to be filming on location here at the Regent Theatre Arlington Showplace of Entertainment since 1916. There's a lot of history here and last weekend well we had Elvis in the building and we're still recovering from that but we're very excited about our upcoming Christmas special the Calamari sisters Christmas Carol. I don't know if we're quite ready for it but that's what we're doing and since most of you are tuning in now in the heart of the Christmas season I want to wish everybody happy holidays, merry Christmas or whatever it is you celebrate and welcome to Regent TV once again. Thank you for coming and here are your tickets to January's featured shows. We kick off January in a big way with the Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra's annual New Year's Eve extravaganza. The future of classic rock starts here. January is also extremely special as we kick off 2020 with Magic Month, January's always magic month here at the Regent Theatre, a tradition of family fun live magic shows every Saturday morning. Also for families we've got the Belmont World Film 17th annual family film festival and that's the weekend of January 17th. Also duets, duos, Motown and Moor on January 18th, a great live show presented by the folks that it brought you the Aretha Franklin tribute, the Otis Redding tribute and much more. This is chapter 6, the great Leon Beale and Friends on January 18th. Also we've got some great school events coming up, the real school of music based in Burlington and Andover doing a live showcase on January 11th and two weeks later Arlington High School's Battle of the Bands on January 25th. Always a crazy time here we're looking forward to that. Not to mention an exclusive film event, the Boston premiere of the life and death of Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones. Enjoy. So here we are smack dab in the middle of the Regent Theatre stage, the historic Regent Theatre, about to make history I think because we're about to talk to the Calamari sisters right here the night before the show begins. It was the night before showtime and off through the house. Welcome. Thank you. You guys really don't need an introduction so I'll let you introduce yourself. Oh, right. I'm Delphine. And I'm Camilla. And we have the Calamari sisters. You might have seen us on a bus or two. Yeah. Broadside of a bus I would say probably. Broadside. And this isn't the first time you've been to the Regent Theatre, is it? Oh no, these are third at this point. I think it's number three. Yeah. Oh we love it here. I love Boston. Love it. What is it you love about Boston? Oh everything. I love the historic nature. I love all the like cobblestone-y feel to everything. Although I keep looking, I hear about this Boston Tea Party. It's famous. I love a good Earl Grey tea. I keep trying to explain what it was, didn't she? What is a party and everyone makes a lot of tea in them, in the waters or something. I don't know. I'm gonna figure it out though. I'm gonna find it. Well, I have a question. Have you ever opened a show before on a full moon? Because I just heard that there is a full moon happening tomorrow. Oh, that explains a lot. It does. Carmella has given a full moon on the opening of a show before.  There was not a picketing. We had to pay a fine. Well, pretty strict laws around here, so hopefully that won't happen. But to answer your question, I think we actually probably have. Like we've been touring the country since 2009, and I'm sure at some point we've opened a show on a full moon with as many openings, don't even say it. As many openings as we've had. It's true, it's true. Although that sounds real creepy, a full moon. It's not the werewolves. It explains why girls in our family are a little hairy. What we're excited about or thrilled about is you're here right up through the end of the year, right through the holiday season, into the new year, 2020. 2020, I can't believe we're there. I know, it's like the future is now. So tell the audience, the Regent TV audience, what they might expect, maybe where you started, how did this come about food performance? The full history, you want to run down. Well, we have been, of course, a short story. We're from Bayridge, Brooklyn, you know that, though. We're from Bayridge, Brooklyn. And Camel and I have been singing and dancing in the kitchen with our mom, our grandmother, and a Stroni since we were just little girls. So that came naturally, joining cooking and music. Now our stage shows, we've been touring, like I said, since 2009, we have 11 different versions of our stage shows. The first one was cooking with the Calamari sisters, which we did right here, the Regent, two years ago at this point, right? And that was the first. That was the first. And people are still talking about. Oh, there you go. I hope they don't just talk, but I hope they come back. This is a brand new show from Nuts to Bolts, brand new show. They will be surprised at every turn, of course. We are reducing. We do dance and talk. We're the only all singing, all dancing, all cooking, cooking, show out. Yeah, of course. Exactly. Yeah. And of course, they can expect to laugh. The laughing is especially nowadays, laughter is what everybody needs. So important. They will laugh from beginning to end. They'll have a great time. And by the time they leave here, they'll feel like a part of the Calamari family. Yeah. And it's so great because the aisles of the Regent Theater were made for rolling in them. Yeah, but I hope you have waterproof scenes.  Wear your depends. You're going to install those right away. And of course, it is a Christmas theme show. Lots of holiday music, a holiday cheer, a couple of recipes that you might want to try in the holidays. Sure. I'll get you a sample, perhaps. How is it? I mean, we're looking at the stage now out here and you actually do real preparation. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. What would a cooking show me without the cooking? It's a perfect Christmas gift. You know what? I think that everyone should run out and grab tickets and put them in the stockings. Oh, they mean great gifts, experiences are great. They don't take up much room. They don't take much room. They put all the other stuff in those stuff. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yes. Give the gift of entertainment and there's no other entertainment like your show. And that's why we thought it was a great idea to run past the new year. So past Christmas, so that people could get the tickets for holiday, you know, for Christmas and the holidays and use them, you know, in January or the end of December. It's usually such a letdown on the season's end and this will just be building up. Well, ramp up, ramp up. Well, keep it going. Yeah. That's how it should be. We'll get you warm on a cold winter's night. May not ever be able to stop. All right. Where do you go next?  You know, we've been traveling to travel. I miss home. Yeah, we're gonna go back home. Got some men waiting for me. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, I'm I'm just I just I'm pretty much speechless because just looking at at I don't think we've ever had anyone so glamorous on our stage before. And really, that puts so much time and effort into a show. And the recent theater has a long history of vaudeville and so forth. And it seems to me that you're out of that. Oh, yeah, our show is a lot of vaudeville feel to it. Absolutely. Vaudeville, classic musical theater, and some, you know, with a contemporary flair. We I like to say that our show is very, very TV audience friendly. Yes. You know, so that and we engage a lot. It's not you don't just sit there and watch it. We engage with the audience the entire time. Interactive. Well, because you know, when you're doing a cooking show, they always have their audience here. They always have to be buying, you know, so we get to actually talk to people and do an address them directly. You don't have that. The fourth wall is that what they call it? The fourth wall doesn't exist in the calamari world. That's for sure. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I was thinking about this. I keep talking to Dylan about it. We get into the vaudeville thing. I was hoping for a little burlesque. Huh? What do you think? A Christmas holiday strip? No, I don't think so. No, I don't think so. I think it's great. I can do wooden spoon pasties. What do you think? Well, you know, we were we're all engines come a long way since the blue laws, you know, and we do serve beer and wine and hard cider here now for the past three years. They would eat plenty of drinking to watch that. Yeah, well, they were plenty. Do you prepare anything in the way of beverage or? Oh, we certainly do. We actually one of the things we do is as a holiday drink. But we're not going to get away. You gotta come and see it. We want. Okay. You know, it's very simple and audience members can take that recipe home and make it. And of course, it's Italian. The entire show's Italian. So the cocktails Italian, too. Yeah. I mean, a lot of the the songs are, you know, tried and true Christmas songs by all of our shows, you know, they're very Italian based because that's what we know. It's Rosemary Clooney, Dean Martin, Louis Prima, all the good ones, you know. So okay, so what is your all time favorite Christmas song? My all time favorite Christmas song. You have one already. Yeah. Say what yours is. Now what your favorite Christmas? No, I got a little town of Bethlehem. How still we see me tonight. That's one of my favorites. I think my favorite night. I wish it was very silent tonight. But no, my favorite. This is a difference. See, my favorite one is most wonderful time of the year. Love that song. But my favorite thing. My favorite songs are the ones that everybody kind of knows. But when you bring them up now, they kind of know the first phrase. And then they're like, it's like what's the king song? They don't try to think of good king but all we know is that first one. Yeah. And there's always 27 of them. No one knows. Even silent night, you get to verse two when people are like, they don't know it. Yeah. And like, and as you said, there's a lot of music and a lot of dancing and a lot of fun. It's not just Christmas music. We always say that our shows are everything in the kitchen saying, yes, I mean, it's cooking, you're in the kitchen, but it's singing, dancing. It's a it's a hoop and a how. Well, what I love to is it's just you gals are bringing people together during a season where families and friends get together. This is the kind of show you can bring everybody to and come back and mothers and mothers and fathers and grandparents and single man. I'd like to come together with some single man in town while I'm here. And as we go through the holiday season and into the new year, what are your thoughts or wishes as we get into are we talking resolutions? Are we heading into the resolution? You said it, not me. Oh, gosh. Well, I guess mine would be to try and be a little bit less obnoxious. And mine would be that Carmela is a little less obnoxious. And what do you have? What can you tell us about the future of the calamari sisters? Are you going to keep doing this? Do you have any plans to? We got to be the calamari sisters. Yeah, you know, we go with that. We know we go with the flow. We roll to the punches. You know, always have something going. Yeah. Sometimes always cooking is a good way to get on the back burner. I got puns. I got lots of puns that she does. She doesn't like puns. I like good puns. Yeah. Thank you so much for for coming to the Regent Theater and also for giving us the time to be on episode three of Regent TV. The first one we've done live on site here. Really? Yes. It's just the third episode. Yes. Monthly show and that you're actually taking time away from your dress rehearsal here. Oh, our pleasure. Thank you so much for having us. I don't know any of my lines. And and I think that my my Christmas wish would be to have you back on this show again next year. Oh, we would love that. Yes, let's make that happen. Let's make it happen. I want to come out of a big present. I got big. Yes, thanks. Well, we do. Yeah, I think well, you could almost fit in there. We're not doing that. Think, think about it.

statistics and excel bell curve people wait example part number one get ready taking a deep breath holding it in for 10 seconds looking forward to a smooth soothing excel first a word from our sponsor yeah actually we're sponsoring ourselves on this one because apparently the merchandisers they don't want to be seen with us but but that's okay whatever because our merchandise is is better than their stupid stuff anyways like our crunching numbers is my cardio product line now I'm not saying that subscribing to this channel crunching numbers with us will make you thin fit and healthy or anything however it does seem like it worked for her just saying so yeah subscribe hit the bell thing and buy some merchandise so you can make the world a better place by sharing your accounting instruction exercise routine if you would like a commercial free experience consider subscribing to our website at accounting instruction dot com or accounting instruction dot think of it dot com here we are in excel if you don't have access to this workbook that's okay because we'll basically build this from a blank worksheet but if you do have access three tabs down below example practice blank example in essence answer key practice tab having pre-formatted cells so you could get to the heart of the practice problem of the blank tab blank worksheet with just our practice data so we can practice formatting the cells within excel as we work through the practice problem if you don't have access to practice data you could use resources such as Kaggle dot com you can also try to create your own data to practice with by going to the data tab up top the analysis group and the data analysis tool that we saw in a prior presentation if you don't have this analysis group then you can go into the options and possibly add it as we saw in a prior presentation as well back to the home tab down to the example tab to get an idea of what we will be doing our data is going to be related to weights of people we also have heights if you want to practice with that as well but we're focused on the weights this time measured in pounds now this will be similar to what we've seen in the past there's two or the couple major differences however one is going to be that we have a whole lot more data of weights and weights as you would imagine you would think that because it's something that's related to nature people's weights that it would follow a bell shape type of distribution the more data that we have the more likely that the actual example if it conforms to a bell shape distribution will simulate a bell shape distribution so that's one thing we have a lot more data in this example than prior examples we're also going to be building our graph over here and we're going to use a similar technique but slightly different in the technique to get this between column that we will then use to build our graph trying to come up with some strategies that you might be able to build your graphs fairly quickly so that you can use them when you're working these practice problems and we'll do a little bit more with the Z score calculations and formulas as well alright let's go to the blank tab and get started I'm going to remove the Kaggle thing I'm going to select the entire worksheet this time and format the data before we get started selecting the triangle right clicking on the worksheet formatting the cells I'm going to go to currency because I'm an accountant that's where I like to go I'm going to say negative numbers are bracketed and red and I'll keep the decimals for now let's go two decimals but no dollar signs these are not dollars we're talking about now if I say okay obviously it trimmed up our data over here to just show the two decimals even though it had more than two decimals right now what I'm going to do is we could just hide the heights I want to keep the heights there just because you might want to use those in practice in a similar method you can do basically the same sample problem we're doing here but with the height stated if you want but I don't need it right now so I'm going to go ahead and select columns well let's first put a table around it and then I'll hide them possibly so I'm going to let's go up top make this bold home tab font group bold it and then I'll put my cursor somewhere in this group of numbers and go to the insert tab tables group I'm going to add a table to it the dancing ants are doing their table creation dance looks kind of like a rain dance it's hard to tell but you know it's different because obviously how would how would excel know what to do if they did the same dance for everything you know spending his home tab alignment wrapping the text and I'm going to double click in here and just put some space so I can wrap the text where the space is all right and then I could just hide columns a and b because I'm not using those I'm going to put my cursor on a go over to be right click and hide them just hide it now note that if I was I was going to sort this data somehow possibly I had some blank cells in here where we didn't get the weights or we have some very high or low weights that don't look correct or something like that then I might want to filter out those outliers that might not be correct depending on what I'm doing if I was to do that I would want my data on a separate tab because once I start filtering things it'll collapse the rows so but here I'm not going to do that so I'm just going to keep my data on the same tab here and we'll do our normal calculation so I'm going to make a skinny D skinny D and then we're going to say sounds like a rapper's name or something skinny D skinny D's up throwing down the base beat and doing some licks over it or something anyway here's the mean equals the average tab we're going to select our data now there's a lot of data I'm going to select the data boom and it's going to just pick up that entire table if I go control shift down on this data we're at 25,000 data points so we have a lot more data control backspace and then I'm going to say alright let's do the standard D I'm just going to call it SD for the standard D I'm going to say this equals ST this is the population so I'm going to pick up the population STD EV for the pop and the population not your dad the population the pop that's what I call it the pop and then we're going to say okay and then the median the median the one in the middle hit the one in the middle we're going to say the median tab picking that up boom and then the mode might not always be as applicable if you didn't have a whole lot of data because that shows multiple if multiple items are being hit and because we're using fractions of pounds then it would be less likely but since we have a whole lot of data the mode will probably be applicable here to you let's say the mode single mode just one please I don't need like a whole bunch of modes boom and okay so now I can see that the mean is pretty close to the median which is an indication that this group of data follows somewhat closely to the bell curve and the mode is also there remember the modes kind of kind of tricky because if you didn't have a whole lot of data the mode that might not even have a mode because you have percent because you have these fractions of the measuring in this case of pounds which means that you might not have a lot of duplicates whereas if you rounded them to a pound it's more likely that the mode is going to be more applicable but again we have so much data right now that the mode will work so now I'm going to say all right I'm going to graph this thing out and so I'm going to make a bell curve because it looks like a bell curve would work before I do that let's actually graph let's look at this data in terms of a histogram if I select the entire thing I'll just select the data I just select the data then I'm going to go into the insert and then charts and just make a histogram say what does this thing look like from a histogram standpoint where we have the groups on the bottom and then and then how many and this is the buckets the buckets on the bottom and how many of these numbers which there's a whole lot of them fall into each bucket now the point here is that this time we came up with something that looks a lot more like a bell curve than some of our prior examples due to the fact that we have a whole lot of data here we're using a whole lot of information so if you're looking at something that would conform to a bell curve you would think that if you had the more data that you had the more smooth looking the shape would look in them and the more you can be kind of certain that it looks like it follows a bell curve type of distribution so we're going to go okay it looks like a bell curve kind of does the thing I'm going to move this off to the side and let's start to build an actual bell curve so I'm going to say let's say that this is going to be x this is our x this is going to be p of x let's say I'm going to make this black and white so we're going to go hometown font group making this black and this white and then I'll center it and then let's make a skinny x skin out skinny up the x it's on the lighter side of our bell curve it's it weighs less because it's skinny it's a skinny x but it could be skinny with big bones you know it just has but any case so now we're going to say okay well what am I going to start because I'm measuring in pounds I could start from like one pound and go up to like I don't know 500 pounds or something but it's I don't probably need to go that far because it's not likely that someone weighs one pound so what's the range that I need on my exes that are going to be on the X parameter so I could say well everything let's do that for standard deviations again that should pick up almost everything and for standard deviation so let's go that we're going to say the numbers of of standard deviations which I'm just going to say SDs in our chart the number of exes that we want are going to be equal to well let's four let's just say four of them and so that means that the lower x and then the upper x we can calculate so the lower x is going to be the mean the middle point minus the standard deviation 1166 times four of them to goes to go for standard deviations and we're going to say okay boom so we've got 80 so I so people don't weigh less than 80 oftentimes right and then we're going to say pounds we're talking pounds I know if you're not in the United States you're like what are you talking about or what a pound what in the world but whatever that's how we do it man so now we're going to say the upper one is going to be 127 plus a standard deviation times four and enter so now 173 pounds is going to be our upper end okay and so now let's let's just build this I'm going to say this is going to be an X of let's go from starting point is just going to be one less than this one or 80 you know at the lower end I'm going to get rid of the decimals because I'm not going to do the decimals here I'm just going to take it to the whole pounds and I'm going to drag it let's do 81 so we can see the pattern get rid of the decimals select those two I'm going to drag it down to 174 174 and that should be good so I'm going to drag it down till I get the pattern down to 174 that doesn't even fit me man I'm because I'm yoked up what about my someone like me that's like huge like Arnold Schwarzenegger but not now because he's old but like when he was I'm not you know when he was not old no anyways so now we're going to say P of X we're going to say this equals then norm dot dis so we've seen this in prior presentation so we're just going to take the norm dot dist I won't do the spill function this time I'll just do the normal process I'm going to take the X comma the mean the mean is outside the data we're working in so I'm going to F for it making it absolute so it will copy down and not move that cell down comma the standard deviation is that one again it's outside the data I'm working with I don't want it to move down so I'm going to select F for dollar sign before the F and the three making an absolute comma cumulative not cumulative false or zero and then enter I'm going to percentify it home Dan home tab number group percentify you better percentify if you want to recognize I still don't recognize it still zero but if I double click on the fill handle copies it down and there we have it now if I if I was to total this up total and say alt equals to some trustee some formula we get one or 100 because basically all the data is in there all right so that looks good and so so now I'm going to say okay so so now let's ask well let's see how closely that fits to our actual data now now remember our actual data is actual samples not given to us in percents so I want to either adjust my actual data to percents or adjust this curve to actual data right so first I've got to take all my information here and group it together and that's going to be our frequency so this is going to be actual frequency actual frequency and then I'll wrap that home tab alignment wrap it center it black white so so this is going to be the one where we're going to say the frequency is going to tell us everything for example this one that is above 80 up to and including 81 is going to go into that bucket when we count our actual data all right so we're going to use our frequency which is a spill array function frequency tab I'm just going to select all of our data with the little arrow selecting all of the data comma and then I'm going to select all of my x's by putting my cursor on the top x control shift and down arrow don't want to pick the total so I'm just going to say shift up and then control back space to get up to the top without the dancing frequency ants stopping their frequency dance and then I'm going to say enter and boom spills it on down so these are the number of of occurrences of these datas that are are in between 100 in this case or above 100 up to and including 101 I don't want it to it spilled down a little one more than I wanted it to go so I'm going to double-click here I'm going to get rid of that last one so it spills out right to there now if I sum this up how do I know it picked up all my numbers well if I say all equals down here summing it up comes out to 25,000 and I could say does that equal my count of data right I can check my actual count say how many data points do I have over here imagining these are our bunch of data that we actually counted right so we're gonna say this is going to be count I'm just gonna say count all of my data how many are there there's 25,000 we picked up all 25,000 are represented in one of these buckets so that looks good check confirmed so now I can either convert my percentages to counts by multiplying all the percentages by 25,000 then I can then I can compare my actual to my to my the smooth curve or I can convert which is probably the better thing to do the actual frequency to the percent by taking the percent of the total and I'm gonna say let's go home tab numbers black white rapid center it and I'm gonna do this by saying this equals this number two divided by control shift down I'm just want to pick up that 25,000 so it's just that number two divided by the 25,000 I want it to be absolute so f4 and the keyboard dollar side before the J and the 9 enter I'm gonna percentify this whole column or I could just do this one cell and then copy it down maybe home tab number percent of five so we can recognize and then add some decimals and then double click on the fill handle and boom it copies it on down so now we're comparing these percentages and I could say okay what's the difference between our percentages difference between what we got to what we would have predicted if we used these numbers and multiplied times our 25,000 count or something right or got our percentages so let's go to the home tab font black white alignment center wrap and then difference equals the P of X minus the percent of total I'm going to percentify at home tab number percentify add some decimals double click it down on the fill handle and so you can see the differences are pretty low for the most part so once again indication that indication that this could conform to a bell curve and a bell curve could give us good information about this data okay so now we want to say okay let me graph this thing this actual bell curve I could graph it first to just see what it looks like in terms of our percentages I'm gonna put my cursor here control shift down shift up so I don't pick up the total scroll back up to the top insert I'm gonna go to the charts first I'm gonna just hit the bar chart and let's just check take a look at a standard bar chart there it is there's our bar chart and so now I can say okay maybe I can look at this bar chart and compare it to my actual percent data so remember we did this one over here with with the numbers but now I'm gonna do it comparing it with our percents of the actual data and put them on top of each other so before I do though I'm getting ahead of myself hold on hold your horse you hold your horse your horse is tired it needs a hug so I'm gonna change this bottom bit because it shouldn't start at one it should start at 80 selecting the data chart design data and I'm gonna say selecting the data edit group on the right and then we'll select this item I'm gonna put my cursor on the 80 shift down control or just shift up so that I don't pick that up and then I'm gonna say okay and okay so make sure to check it on this side cuz sometimes it gets a little picky over here and it doesn't pick it up but it looks like it did it so there it goes so there's our smooth bell curve now let's add this on top of it to see our actual data in percent form on top of the bell curve stuff so I could then go to the data and I could say let's add another it's gonna be the percent of the total as the name delete this stuff make sure you it's a little tricky here it gets a little sketchy it's not hard but it's but sometimes excels doesn't do what you tell it to do and you got to be like okay Excel I'm not mad I'm not mad or anything but you're not doing it you're not doing what I said to do and it's just frustrating I'm just disappointed just disappoints me when you do that Excel and then if you talk to it nicely like that then it usually starts to work so that you can see that this lines up pretty close our actual data and that you can also do that with a line graph I probably should show a line graph just to show the difference but that's the idea so now I can say alright now I can make an area chart of it if I wanted to because we're usually thinking about terms of areas not the bar chart so I can take my actual bell curve and say my bell curve is good to go now and let's make an area chart with it so I'm gonna go up top and say I want to insert this time an area thing an area chart not just like a thing and then we'll say okay and so now we have the area and I once again need to change the bottom bit down here so I'm gonna go to my data and then this this one on the right I'm going to then say I want you to be the x stuff here and then the dancing ants do their x axis dance see how it didn't do it see that Excel why I'm not mad I'm just saying like I picked up the numbers correctly and you didn't you didn't bring the x's in there I see what you did pick those you see the you see the dancing ants doing their x axis dance get it right see then it picked it up so you just have to just have to get a little you know you got it you got to watch him you got to watch Excel they mess with you sometimes so there's that so so now now what we would like to do and we'll do this next time we'll continue on to adjust this graph so that we can then ask questions like what if x is you know greater than so much and we'll do the between thing looking a little bit differently and we'll also add the the z scores as well and add those to our graph in the following presentation


Okay, so we'll review our minutes and then just checking in on this stipend, program, feedback from creative discourse, committee and committee planning. And then all of the other regular stuff, self-adjudication, learning around table, report back from other city committees, other business. Anything to note or add or move? I'll move to a public agenda. I don't think we need to make a formal motion, right? Good, just like thumbs up, like, if there's anything to add. Good. Thanks, though, Michael. Okay, if folks want to pull up the minutes from Cameron, we had a discussion about creative discourse, the stipend program, committee and committee, so very similar agenda. Do you want to make a motion to approve that agenda, Michael? Yes. The minutes, make a motion to approve the minutes. Sorry. Was that a yes? Sorry. Yes. Okay, cool. And Pellen, you second? I second. All right. All in favor. I work team. Okay. Sorry about that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Through the hard parts of the agenda. Yeah. They do like right at the front. And no. Um, So we have this stipend program discussion continued. And this is where it's like, I usually like to like get my head on straight before coming into the call, but. Um, If we had any feedback from creative discourse, I hadn't heard any feedback. Okay. So I just wanted to give sort of an update from my end. So. Um, one, I was out of the office a lot of last week, sort of unexpectedly. And so a lot of the plans time that I had to do this, just, I, I, so I, I wanted to come with sort of more of a package of all the things y'all have been talking about. And I, I'm sorry. So I owe y'all an apology. That was my goal to get that done by today. And it just didn't happen. So. I just wanted to sort of check in and make sure I'm doing the right things to support y'all. So my understanding is that. You know, your goal for the pilot proposal is to have the bucket of money and have it be first come, first serve, right? And we're taking a. Survey at the beginning before it's implemented to make sure that at the end we can see if there's any changes, which is great. And then I just need to check in and make sure that my end, like our insurance and our payroll is up to speed with that. And that's really what I'm packaging, right? To give to y'all to edit, to give to, to give to the council. And to the committee on committees. Is that my understanding that like the package correctly. Yeah, I have one question and that is. Yeah. The, the offer is good for people who are already on committees, or is it for new, new people? Yeah, I think both. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And just to clarify, I think the package. Includes the. The, the pre-work, you know, the survey to establish where we've been. And then I think that the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the language around how to sign up for it. The materials for signing up for the site. And. And then you like, like, just like the full life cycle is what I'm just trying to think of through this, like, and then each reporting. Materials, which is more of what you've been thinking about. I don't think we've talked about that very much. So does that mean that we need to talk about that now? If Cameron's going to try to put together this package, do we need to have the. I mean, I think that's what Cameron was mentioning that we just like, haven't. Yeah. Like if there's any tax form stuff, but I don't, I don't think I'm going to have anything useful to say on that. Like it's, I don't know what that would look like. So I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any pieces that's like sort of being squished together. So that was all my notes to do is just to check in, make sure I have all the pieces right and take all the things that y'all have already decided and sort of put it in one narrative to, to give to y'all to like look at, make sure I didn't miss anything. And then that's the thing that you'd be bringing to the committee on committees and then council. So I was just checking. I got some. I got some documents the last week when I wasn't in from Essex, they sent all of their forms and stuff. So I have that to build off of. So. My new goal because I do not, not would anticipate taking any time off between this meeting and the next meeting. To have that done for y'all. So. Thank you for being patient. Sorry. I hate that. I dare you take time off Cameron. I don't know. Yeah. No, I'm really glad you can take time off. Absolutely. No worries. Well, Lauren, we're just talking about the package of materials that we need. I don't want to jinx it, but I think we might get through our agenda. Quickly. What do you guys think? Yeah, don't jinx it. Yeah, don't jinx it. Okay. Sorry. Take it back. All right. We had our committee and committee meeting planning continued. And I am not remembering the specifics around what that continuation would be. And I'm sorry again, but I didn't go over it. I think we had established the kind of discussion questions and the. Overview and the roles last time. So I think we had. You know, I'll do kind of like the welcome and overview of C. Jack. Lauren will kind of go do the overview of this stipends. You know, what are they? How can they be accessed? Why is it important going over the pre-survey review process? And camera to go over the finance pieces and then we'd all kind of take Q and A. And then kind of after that stipend piece, we would go into discussion of just talking more about having Jeremy facilitate and talking more about if you had, you know, activities related to DEI, can you share what progress you've been made, barriers you've had, equity questions that are relevant to your committee's work. If you had a magic wand with equity issues, would you change in the purview of your committee? And have Michael be the timekeeper there and then Pellin to review your next steps, evaluate the meeting and close. Does that sound anything to note there? Yeah. Well, my, my question on that, am I on muted? Yes. Okay. Sorry. You're like 18 things deep at this point. Yeah. I mean, what are the things like, did you want to have a presentation? Did you want to like create scripts for yourselves? I mean, you have time. You have how many minutes between now and then. I just want us to start. You have one meeting in between them, right? Can I look at calendars? Yes. You have one meeting. So I just wanted to make sure that that was something you're thinking about. Which is why it's still on the agenda. Yeah. I mean, I think we have anything else like urgent to discuss, discuss is this could just be a working meeting where we could work on those pieces. Which I think is a little atypical, but if, if that would be of use, I know Michael then wouldn't like, I don't know, maybe, you know, Michael could help out with someone else, but go ahead Pellin. Yeah. I was planning to ask similar question like Cameron mentioned. I can't review the meeting. Like it is okay because I will be there listening to, but what are our next steps? Are there any specific next steps that we want to mention? Or I will just, you know, make them up after listening to people. So that was my question. Yeah. I mean, I think it's mostly the stuff that we talked about it, like having people fill out the survey is and then, and then I think, yeah, it's like the, it's the pulling out the pieces that get discussed in the discussion to say, okay, so it sounds like, you know, the housing committee and the ADA committee are going to meet to talk about this thing that they, that we talked about and making sure we kind of captured all of that. Yeah. Sorry, only one thing is certain, they will take the survey. And other steps, I, it will be kind of summary of the meeting. Right. And then we'll kind of summarize what people say. Oh, it will be our next step. So I will just remind those steps to them. It is not our steps, we commanding them, it is their steps they mentioned. Okay. Thank you. I think so. Yeah. Are there any other next steps that we want to bump to people?  Yeah. Yeah. So we did, did we at one point think about, we had talked about trying to do this like twice a year or something, like do we want to be like, and we're going to get back together and. Early fall or whenever six months is to. And like, I don't know, just to like have some accountability, like we're going to be following up. Right. You know, and whatever, I guess, I'm sure some of them could be things that we say that we could do to help different groups. So some of the next steps. I think that's a good one is just checking in to see what committees want to meet with y'all. Right. Get some insight. Cool. Should we do some co-working time? Co-working space, or I don't want to waste people's time too. Just ask a question about something I think I missed in the agenda. Or just like thinking about the contracts that we're having with creative discourse to help and being at the. First of the Elks Club property public hearings, like there was talk about, like we should do focused outreach to different types of groups. Like, is that something that the city camera is thinking about? Like this is where I could see creative discourse being helpful. Like. With that kind of public process with us or even maybe facilitating a meeting with like some affinity groups or something. So just wondering like how we're thinking about using them. And that seems like a. Very high profile and like good opportunity where. Because we are looking at like housing and different community needs. It could be really valuable, obviously to get. That feedback. So. Just throwing that out there. Honestly, Lauren, I can speak from staff perspective as we have it. We're still working on going through all the comments and putting them in buckets. And I think that's a suggestion that we would want to bring back to council and say, Hey, I'm going to talk about the planning process. Cause it's on your agenda for not. Tonight. Oh my God. But the following meeting is to talk about the planning process for the Elks Club master plan. And that will be the time when we bring up. Here's what we heard. And here's some recommendations. So I'll, I'll make a note of that to talk about. Great. Thanks. Yeah. I know it came up in the meeting as a suggestion. So I'll make a note of that. Thank you. Thanks. I'm talking about some other city related stuff. We are bringing the locker presentation to council tonight. I don't know if that will be something that they are going to want to discuss tonight, according to the mayor. So. Not in a bad way, but just in a more time way. So. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure I had invited you all to that to hear about that, but I'm not sure if they're going to actually be discussing it. If you're hanging on to the council meeting tonight. So. I don't know. I can be until seven 45 tonight, but I do have another meeting at eight. So. Yeah. Intrigued. Okay. I was in the circle back and maybe do some work on my like overview of C. Jack. Yeah. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make any of this conversation. Pieces here too. If that, if that makes sense, and then maybe can like circle back and. 15, 20 minutes and do us report back discussion of these pieces. Does that. Seem like it would be a good use of time. Sure. I'm really, I'm really sorry. I didn't come in as prepared as I liked to be in these calls. Okay. So we had just so I'm looking at our last. Yeah. So I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this. So folks would be working on the following. Shayna is working on the introduction and welcome and overview of C. Jack. Lauren would be doing an overview of our history of the discussion. The stipends. I don't have this information yet, but I'll get the city finance information to support that. Jeremy is facilitating the discussion. Helen is talking about next steps. So I'll go through some of the, I don't know what the context or. About the. Any of it honestly, so that's what we'd be working on. And just asking, so in the agenda, like the one up. It kind of runs through roles at the bottom and agenda up top and up top it says. What are the stipends? How and where can they be accessed and why is it important and then pre review. Pre survey review and process. Am I covering that? I think that's you too if that's okay or dad do you feel like you have the information I need for that? I feel like I can get the information I need for the 11th yeah okay yeah I just want to make sure Michael you're muted if you're he's reading the way I see this we're not gonna have any breakout sessions is that right everything is going to be plenary all right okay that makes things easier in some ways harder for you as the timekeeper being like and we're just moving on and how many did we just did we determine how many minutes we were going to try to keep any comments too that's on you it's on me figuring that out or and or keeping people moving along well no I'm I'm okay with taking on that responsibility I wasn't I can't move I just couldn't remember if we had determined an amount of time to give each person you can just otherwise it's kind of arbitrary oh this is getting boring time I would say three minutes is you know it's this it's where it seems to work okay at council to do two minutes except for one person who always complains about it but so I think three minutes is is adequate and we can always circle back to a personalized more say is that agreeable with the rest of you okay it seems like all right if there is like discussion you know like if there's good comp like it's like yeah I'm not going to be like well that's an interesting question are we we like to gather information or are we really are we there to promote a discussion because if it's a discussion then it gets more harder to figure out how much time to to give any one person but also how to manage the the kind of map of who comes next is things like that were you thinking it was going to be back and forth yeah I think to me listening to y'all talk about this it's like chunk the agenda up like you have 20 minutes for your introduction where we're talking or you have 10 minutes or five minutes for that and then you have 30 minutes for this discussion and you let it just sort of ride and you ask the questions that you want to ask and after 30 minutes Michael you just say and we're done with this part and then you move on that's my suggestion you know well that's much easier job of course but I think it's also like you do want I have only heard that y'all want people to discuss things in a real way and not just report back and so I would hate for you to feel like you have to stop somebody if they're on a tear like a good one anyway maybe we can rely on you to reign in people who are who are rambling okay Shayna a bit of a flow question I interrupt you yeah I assume like when you're talking about the overview that y'all talk about the equity assessment and suite of recommendations and that stipends was one of the core and that like hands it over to me that's exactly what I was just working on and wanting to clarify with you but I'm not quite there yet but I think it's all gonna work yeah I'm just I'm trying to figure out how to start and so like assuming that you had given talk about the equity assessment so I'm just picking up more like the details of the stipend proposal I think so yeah we can figure that out a question on the I understand what we're trying to do with the survey the other part of the agenda however is the kind of the report back and that also is where it's unclear to me how much time we want to devote to that and how much time we want to give to each of there are a lot of committees and how much time do and you had four questions that you have for each committee for each of those committees so how do you want to divide that how did you think about you were dividing that it's been working on the welcome and intros too of you know of having folks share it that at the top of the meeting of like the name the committee what their committee does you know the committee charge and then like I was thinking of like yeah did we want to put some of those questions at the top and then do the presentation and then do the discussion even you know so like you know do a quick go around at the beginning and say like here's our committee and last time we met we talked about X Y and B here's the update on where we're at you know or if we should have any more fun or like not not as like diving in at the beginning and then do another round of here's where we're at here's what we're what we're digging in on here's the questions and concerns that we have kind of thing I don't know yeah well I think it's a question of how quickly do you want to get into the meat of what's going on if we have you spent a lot of time on the introductions are really that cuts into where we want to be going exactly I my own opinion is that since there is there is an agenda there is a part of the agenda which asks them to report holding off they could just say which committee they introduce themselves if you want introductions all the way around then I would say just ask them to introduce themselves as individuals in the committee they serve on them we'll come back and circle back when they do their reporting that can you say that again yeah I'm just so just introduce them their name and the committee that they're on and that's it yep and then save all the information stuff until we are past the discussion of what what this what the stipend issue is about and and go on to then have the reporting back that sounds good I think yeah I'm gonna capture that in my notes okay one of the one of the question do we have have we started or do we anticipate doing an RSVP so we'll know who's coming that's what we did last time and it caused some open meeting law issues right Cameron yeah yeah let me pull up the invite so yeah we can't have people well it's been sent to 42 people now all of them do not have the ability to say they're coming because it's like a lot of gmls and a well accounts and that kind of thing but I've gotten a lot of really positive feedback to the invite so I would probably estimate about 30 people probably so good amount of folks and I think the chairs who weren't gonna make it have forwarded it to somebody from their committee who can come and it's a is it a two-hour meeting what did I set it for an hour and a half oh it's also warned so other people can get right it's just warned as a C-jack meeting so question then is is there a place here where we're gonna take up we're gonna make comments or questions from the other than the committee members don't have to we don't have to okay as long as there's like you're not telling people from the public that they cannot speak you're fine you don't have to have a dedicated time for that because I think that will also be interesting if people do choose to come from the public and have comments about like what people could be focusing on would be insightful and so it's up to the moderator or whoever's running the meeting to decide whether to recognize someone who wants to speak I guess it's just up to y'all how you want to run that but I would assume so what do you make Michael thing this timekeeper stops too seriously but if it is an open meeting and anybody can talk and then we get we get derailed and if we have some business that we really need to get accomplished here I think it's important at least to have it have it clear who's going to recognize someone who's not a committee who's not speaking from the perspective of a committee and how much is just just to be prepared for that yeah well I think well I think that's all do the intro is at the beginning so we can get a sense of if there are people who are not that and just like cut people off and then when Jeremy is doing the facilitating the discussion then he'll like he'll know because we did the intros already if like this person's not a committee chair or is not on a committee or for whatever reason to be able to facilitate in a way that would cut that off right okay the another question again procedural is Jeremy who are going to have a list of the committees and just go down and call on people are we going to say okay who's next because that's kind of a waste of time yeah no for the intro is for sure of calling on people I'm that's one of yeah we've all been to too many bad you know Zoom meetings so so I think if you know you're up next kind of thing is if it's going to be an order and and someone's going to be calling on people that's that's fine just move that'll move things a little more yeah well just ask another procedural question looking through the item three where we have the discussions where there are four four questions for each committee and the last one is what questions do you have for other committees that's where I can see things just simply for you know what what's gonna happen with that and do you want to you know gather gather those questions and then come back to them when everyone is finished reporting and then that would open the floor to a much more free-form kind of discussion or do you do you want to move everyone through all of these or you know at one time this Jeremy facilitating this section and I do wonder if he's got a plan plan for it you know and if you're like we have this much time for the discussion writ large and then if he's like here's how I was thinking if he's gonna like have people put things in the chat or like write things down or you know if there's like a way that he's thinking of facilitating it to be able to move through these questions in a more timely format I think I'm just like in looking over kind of like the overview and stipends overview like I think the whole first section could take like 15 minutes or less and then we could have like a good chunk of time for the actual discussion and you know it'd still be a lot if all 42 people show up but like or it still could be a lot if 20 people show up but like I yeah I think we just to check in with him about his facilitation plan does that make sense or um well I mean yeah unless anybody has a preference I guess it's okay I mean my preference would be to keep track of the questions that others have and then come back to them yeah some of them may overlap and we and we might be able to just you know sort of get get get chunks of things for for discussion and move on and there they're keeping time would be more crucial because you want to get through the list of questions that you have and never thought of timekeeping as being such a yeah so many implications for how things go but but I think with only an hour and a half we really have to be careful how to manage things that look on the surface to be open-ended yep no that's that's that's important um okay to do a report back we're Pellan, Lauren, Cameron anything else well is it okay if I talk with Jeremy am I allowed to do that oh I think that's important yeah Cameron or what are the what are the rules on that I can do it okay yeah you can talk to him I will I will send him an email and ask about his plan for yeah I would be awesome thank you so much I'm sorry uh to poise that on you while the rest of us were doing our prep work so I just I pulled this together so I can definitely add in I mean I'll make it more pretty too it's like black and white here but to help me get my head on board here but of like having our agenda and then just doing some quick overviews um of like welcomes and just calling on people moving it along moving it along and then kind of the overview of who we are of just sharing a little bit about our history our funding um that we kind of gone through this equity assessment project and kind of just like very briefly we found the finest here are some general findings there was a bunch of recommendations like don't read this slide I don't know if this is even helpful to say or just to say here's the link to the report and then to just talk about like the next steps and this is where I just wanted to check in on two questions is like the immediate next steps is like we updated the website to have more accessible history but like have we updated the website to be more accessible in other ways that's still on the docket right that's still in in the works it's mostly looking at you Cameron sorry what was the question I apologize oh no I've got like the website to be updated to be more accessible oh yeah I can talk about that we right yeah yeah well that's just like I don't think we need to like run through it all these all in depth but just to be like we're working on it it's happening right like that's kind of the update but do you want to give us the in-depth answer now yeah uh there's not really an in-depth answer where we are currently waiting to make sure that the you know uh what's the word I'm looking for um I don't I'm blanking because it's very early um you can't recall the budget after the 31st you can't anyway we're waiting for that but after that we've been talking to a couple different companies about what it would take to completely rehaul overhaul the website from square one uh while keeping um sort of the historical documents um there so there'll be a lot of um space and time to talk about what the website needs it would be a hundred percent ADA accessible at that point and um what else I think one of the biggest things we can point to is Michael's work right now on the history section that was a big deal yeah that was huge yeah but right just like oh right there's the other pieces of that too cool and um you could also talk about we for that first bullet we do have a language line inside the city we do have that ability yeah and then anything else for the um yeah like the police department of like saying like yeah there's not like a social recurrence that was like in the works before this was happening but that's something that's happened coming out of this is there any other kind of like report backs of what's been happening here i'm like embarrassed that i don't know this off the top of my head or anything else that we should share here um you could also talk about ordinance review has been scheduled with council like public safety ordinance review and then we also have funding for another peer support outreach worker which is different than a social worker and so i always have one public safety what what ordinance review or it's been scheduled with council and then a couple other i mean we have now a new um community resource officer mike philbrick is now sort of institutionalized that's gone institutionalized means so lots of things for things organizationalized operationalized operationalized where i'm looking for i'm doing it i'll let you all to know that i am not a morning person uh i noticed in the paper that the bids are going out for a body camera body-worn cameras oh yes that is true yes does that mean that protocols have already that the public chief has drafted protocols and guidelines for the use yes i think so okay most of those go straight to bill for review so um i would have to check on that i can write a note to check on that yeah and just fyi about we were approached to have an opinion about that a few you know back in 2018 2019 and we uh dug into it a lot as a committee but did not make any recommendations and then this council pulled the pulled the pulled the conversation so yeah that's where our organizational history is at that um okay but anything else for this kind of like i think just very high level like here's the big recommendations that they make here's what's happened so far here's what's still happening now over to stipends does that make sense five minutes or less cool and so then stipends will go over to lauren if you want to do have anything i can put some slides in if that's helpful yeah i mean i can work on the side i was like working on just writing up my computer does this weird thing right just goes blank for word documents every few minutes um so yeah it's it's great um so i was just uh writing up like how i would say it and i can like drop some um actually i can can i share my screen i can just this is like a very rough beginning sketch um yeah you should be able to is that viewable okay so um yeah i was just starting to write out so i'm sorry if this is really small to read um so like the stipends as shana was just saying core recommendation based on you know and i assume you'll talk about how that was like lots of outreach and input went into forming that just so people know that they should take those recommendations seriously and that you know the access issues i don't have i need to like i'll dig out the memo that we wrote i was just doing this off the top of my head so i'll i'll do that and incorporate and make this better but you know basically just like explaining a little bit of the why and that this is something that other communities that the state already does this um and that this council decided to make 30 000 available for this year and um make clear that we viewed this as a pilot project so it's going to be really important to be getting the input from all the committees on what's working what isn't so that we can improve the program over time um i think however we want to say that um in a way um and then how will work a lot of this i was assuming Cameron would have the actual details on but um and i don't know if this is accurate but that it would be like made clear on application materials that this is available and then when you're kind of getting after you're appointed then you would work with city staff to like work through the paperwork to make that accessible but that it's available to anyone um upon request and i couldn't remember did we decide we're just doing it for like the mandatory city committees to start or we're just making it available and we'll just run out of money at some point if we do if we get taken up a lot okay um that was as far as i got so i'll take the memo i couldn't find anyway i'll look at the memo and flesh this out a little but is that like more or less the kind of thrust of what i should okay i think i'm just also just saying i can put this in the slide too but i think like $50 per person per meeting is the only like a thing that i think is missing here of just like critical information yeah but right that'll be in the info too cool and then over to Cameron for the finance pieces tvd and then over to Jeremy for the discussion and then over to Pellin for next steps if you have anything yeah i just uh post something on um on the chat um i am i'm a fellow in one of the national leadership program and most of the topics are we are talking about DEI mostly right and uh last i think two weeks ago we have trainings saturday and sunday all day and they mentioned uh we had i think gas speaker and they mentioned this project and i thought it will be interesting for us it's called language verman language justice project so they are doing what we are trying to do and discuss before so 12 different languages and they are trying more inclusive environment uh for those languages i don't know maybe we can connect uh with them invite one of the people to our meetings work with them i don't know i just want to bring it up because in our next step i saw that language piece so i just want to mention i think it's pretty cool and i didn't know this i said what people are doing this it is so cool so um i just want to throw it to you and we can discuss in the picture if you want i don't know about this either very cool so anything else for the prep for the april 11th meeting i hear michael it's going to connect with jeremy um i'm going to make this slide deck a little bit more aesthetically uh pleasing and to prep a little bit more for my sections um and then and learn to look over the materials and prep those pieces um yeah was there anything else that we should check in on as a full team or or things to name cool uh all right so then i think yeah i'm just like committee on committees oh no that's i can't read my notes here uh self-education learning roundtable report back from other committees um and council um and any other business to check in on just kind of throw them all out there well we sort of discussed the elks club property meeting so there'll be another one of that um and like i said that'll be at the april 20th i guess would that be when it is yeah uh council meeting okay april 20th we'll be talking about the planning process um in regards to the elks property put it on my work calendar sorry here we go i also immediately have an update for the body worn camera stuff i sent chief a message and was like what's the policy discuss like where's that at and he says there's a statewide body worn camera policy that we will be like we'll have to adopt that's currently undergoing visions with the vermont criminal justice committee and so we'll have more information soon and shana just to your point about like there was a whole community discussion and it kind of got stalled out because of like privacy and other policies and then the state did a lot of work so when the police review committee looked into it it was like okay they finally have figured out a bunch of those issues and so like and michael correct me or thank you for the reminder about the police review city the whole conversation had evolved to a point where we felt comfortable and that's like we had made the recommendation that we should adopt them and that the we should use those policies that seems like they were addressing the concerns like eclu and other groups and stuff have like been involved so that group had felt comfortable with where things had evolved thanks for that context too i was just like it feels important to share that we spent a lot of time on this and then of course many many other people spent a lot of time on this too so cool yes yeah there was a lot of work based on all those issues that were raised yeah cool just didn't okay i'm gonna remind me um didn't uh counselor jennifer morton just like say she was interested in joining this committee oh um i think she had if so we should invite her we should yes i i kind of i think she did probably i'm sorry if i yeah no i it just popped into my head i saw your thing like we're seeking new members and you were correct she did and i apologize for that she she did ask to be on that in the last council meeting and so i apologize and we'll add her to the list awesome that's exciting um well great okay so we will meet again on april 6th which is one more meeting before our april 11th meeting and then yeah monday april 11th we've got our meeting at 5 30 oh man and now looking at my calendar i'm also i'm flying back on i'm taking monday off and i'm flying most of the morning and so just i'll i'll prep everything so that just in case you know all the flight shenanigans go horribly awry someone can pick it up and go to but hopefully that that won't happen because i'll be so prepared but if i'm not prepared then it will happen you know it's like a murphy's law situation shana just for um prepping slides logistics like either i'm just trying to think of how i can get my slide info to you in an efficient way do you want me to just send bullet points at some point that you could put into like the same format and the google doc or make it a google slideshow thing that we can yeah i made it also google slideshow and i did just email it out i believe hold on though i know we get it offline so you should be able to make edits and also i recognize that that's not how everyone likes to work so feel free to just send me bullet points or yeah you can't you can't actually group edit a document that constitutes a legal but i think we can we can do it when we're online together so like i could bring that i could bring bullets in the next meeting drop them in you guys could look at them or something yes so people should individually mail please stuff to shana if you want to include it before the next meeting but we can work on it collectively at

the biggest factor is how crowded the field is and how many others have tried to come up with solutions to the same problem. The more patents that we find when we do our search, the closer they are to your idea. The more time I have to spend as an attorney trying to distinguish your invention. So once once I have the search done at that point I can give you a flat estimate for the patent.
