When the narcissist loses you Narcissists always put themselves in positions Where they are destined to fail They neglect to do something They make a mistake They have an instance of poor performance Which results in a loss It results in them being unsuccessful In achieving their goal Because they have these insatiable desires They have desires that are unrealistic and impossible to satisfy They try to achieve or obtain things that are impractical Things that are impossible to do Which sets them up to be disappointed It sets them up to experience sadness and displeasure Because it can't fulfill their hopes or expectations Which makes them very angry They become very bitter and resentful They experience depression But it's always a result of their own bad decisions Rather than it being the effect of another person Because they're always observing what other people are doing And they get very envious They painfully desire other people's advantages They want what they have Because they see other people making progress in their lives They see that they get an attention Which then makes the narcissist very angry So they will try to bring you down They will try to sabotage whatever you're doing They end up in another situation Which isn't what they imagined as a future possibility Which results in more disappointment But when they lose you, they're not really heartbroken You may be heartbroken Because you invested a lot into the narcissist But they didn't invest anything in you They only got involved with you for their own personal gain They manipulated you They deceived you So they're only angry when things don't go their way That's what makes them disappointed But it's not because they care about you It's not because they're heartbroken They're just angry and disappointed because their plan failed They thought they were onto something But it gradually became less unnoticeable and less important It didn't provide them with the enjoyment and excitement that they expected it to Which then results in them being very angry and disappointed But it's not because they love you They see love as a weakness They see it as something pointless and foolish But they feel entitled to have whatever they want So they expect everything to go their way They expect you to give them whatever they want But when they lose you, it messes up their plan Because they wouldn't finish with you There was still more that they wanted to get from you But it's not that they miss you They never connected with you They're just frustrated that they no longer get the benefits that you provided to them It's not love Because they were never emotionally invested in you Narcissists don't invest their emotions into anyone Which is why they don't experience love Because they're only concerned with their own self-interest They're only concerned with what you can give to them And when you stop giving everything to them They get angry and frustrated Because they've lost their source of supply They never loved you They were just participating in activities For their own pleasure as an observer For their own pleasure as an observer Not as someone who is actively participating They may have claimed that they were in your corner They may have acted like they were on your side They may have given you support and encouragement But they were only there for their own self-interest They were only there for what they could gain from you Which is why when you finally cut off their supply They just find another source They just find someone else who could provide the same things you did Because they never really cared about you They were never invested in you emotionally So there is no emotional loss There's no grief Which is how it's so easy for them to find someone new Even though the new person may not be able to do anything like what you did for them They just like the high they get from getting to know a new person They respond too readily to something new and stimulating They are easily excited Because it gives them a revival of interest and attention It gives them an opportunity to create a new character They may have had fun while they were with you And you may have done certain things for them But as long as they have someone doing something for them No matter the amount Even if it's not as great as what you were doing for them They're still receiving something They're still getting attention It may not be as great as what you were doing But as long as they have something They still feel relevant They get so absorbed in whatever situation they're in That they completely forget about you Because they're so focused on learning how to manipulate and deceive this new person They're so focused on creating this new character That this new person might want to see Which consumes a lot of their energy and attention Because they want to be successful in deceiving the new supply They're so focused on learning about what they like to do So that they can break them down They just see it as an activity In which they compete against people for entertainment They just see it as a game They might lose with you But they will win with someone else Or they might lose again and again Either way, they're always focused on the next person There may be times when they remember you But only if they know without any uncertainty That they can come back to you at the same level that they were at before the relationship ended But if they don't feel like they can have the same amount of power to influence you Or the same position that they had with you There's no reason for them to come back to you There's no reason for them to think about you Because now they can't get what they want from you in the way that they had it before Which is why they will just move on And forget about you They will only return if they believe you're still susceptible to their manipulation If they think you still believe in their false self Then they will return to you And they may even say that they miss you But it's just manipulation There's no real emotion Because they're acting in a scheming way And a ruthlessly determined way When they're already thinking that you want them to come back Where you wish they could be the kind of person That you wanted them to be When they were with you So then they assume that if they come back to you And they act like whatever kind of person you wanted them to be You will take them back without question Because they already assume that you can't do any better than them They assume that you don't have any other options It's only when you resist them That they finally learn to respect you They may not respect you as a person But they respect your power They respect your ability to hold you ground And then they stay away Which is why narcissists will often target you When you're at a weak point in your life When you're feeling lonely When you're feeling depressed When something has gone wrong in your life They see a void They see something that is missing Which they see as a weakness They act like they're strong and confident But they always go for your Achilles heel They always attack whatever they think is your weakest or most vulnerable point They may act like they're there for you But deep down their cowards They lack the courage to endure anything unpleasant Because they're very afraid They don't really want conflict They don't want a problem They will run their mouths They will try to intimidate you But they don't want to fight But most victims will avoid arguing with the narcissist They will always do whatever they believe to be the right thing to do Even when the narcissist is being childish Because they want to avoid being distracted by the narcissist's pitiness and bad behaviour But that's what results in the narcissist walking all over you Which is why you have to show them that you're not going to tolerate it If a narcissist knows that you're not going to put up with their behaviour They're not going to mess with you anymore Because they don't want to fight They want an easy picking They want you to be easily convinced and swayed Narcissists are like internet trolls They're like attention whores who post stupid comments on mine And they attempt to get negative reactions out of people Because then there's no fast approaching danger or threat They do everything they can to avoid danger Because they don't want to fight They wouldn't know what to do If that ever happened to them They would probably call you the narcissist For trying to defend yourself Because they're bullies They seek to harm, intimidate and coerce Those who they perceive as being vulnerable Because narcissists are very weak They're cowards They're very afraid So there's no way that they could have ever loved you For them to love you They would have to show strength in the face of pain or grief They would have to show courage Because then if the person you love is in danger You will put your own life on the line for them Because you love them But narcissists are cowards So they won't do anything They will talk They will say they're ready to protect or defend you They're there for you no matter what But when a situation suddenly causes a lot of trouble for you You will realise they're not Because the thought of them being involved in it And taking a loss causes them to not want any part of it But someone who really loves you And who is really there for you Will take that defeat with you They won't let you take that fall on your own They may try to help you win But if you don't You will take that loss together Either way They still did their part to try to help you It's important to know who will really be there for you To emphasise your opposition to a personal way situation The narcissist will never be down for you They're not built like that They will do all of the talking They will say that they are there for you They will say they did this and that But when it comes down to it They don't You can see it in their eyes That they don't have the heart to be there for you If they really cared about you They would have completed what was planned in spite of difficulties So even though the narcissist may have lost you They're not going to be heartbroken Because they were never in your corner They were never in with you to begin with


You can build a remote shutter button for the Adafruit Memento camera. This simple project uses a momentary push button to create an external remote for triggering the shutter button on the Memento camera. Our 3D printed snap fit enclosure houses the button PCB and doubles as a handle so you can take still photos without having to manually press the onboard shutter button. The Adafruit Memento Dev Board features the ESP32S3, a 5 megapixel camera sensor, color TFT display, accelerometer, SD card slot, and speaker buzzard. This button PCB features a JSTPH connector making it easy to plug into the stamina port on the side of the camera board. The Memento camera code in Circuit Python allows for easy customization, allowing you to trigger the shutter in different ways. Adding an external button is straightforward. Using the debounce library, you can detect a long press for doing autofocus. To get the code and documentation on using the Pi Camera Library, go to learn.adafruit.com. You can get the parts to build this project, links are in the description. 3D print the parts to make the snap fit enclosure using your favorite PLA filament. We modify the Memento camera case to expose the ports so you can plug in external components and sensors. Get the code, files, and full tutorial on the Project Learn Guide. You can build a simple step switch using pieces of cardboard, copper tape, and alligator clips. We built this prototype to demonstrate you can craft your own shutter remote with common materials. We hope this inspires you to check out the Adafruit Memento for building your own camera projects.


Good evening everyone. Thank you Roy for inviting me to begin Asia VR Association. My name is Andes. I'm from Sintak VR. We are one of the stars in Indonesia. And in Indonesia we also make Indonesia VR Association which correlated with, I also have a collaboration with the Asia VR Association. So today I want to present about my info that our software creator for VR that we building since April 2016 and now we are representing it in here. And maybe mostly I will speak about the background why we make this software. So using the direction for Sintak VR from now on we have many clients for B2B doing VR services business. And from here we have found a problem in Indonesia, maybe also have some problem in Asia region. The problem is rise from VR consumer or adopter, especially already adopter and for VR business adopter. For VR early adopter we found that most of VR content they experience, they said it's boring. Like they download the game, for example especially from the Google Cardboard and the iPhone for the smartphone VR content. So they playing it one time. They said it's great. It's excellent. I like it. But second time the experience is like okay, it's good. And the third time is like it's boring. Like it's repetitive. So it's the problem that we found in Indonesia. So they need to personalize their VR games. And for small medium enterprise also we have some clients they need to make a VR content which is for not so complicated VR contents. But they don't have many budgets for this. So this is based on our research that problem in VR consumer adopter in Indonesia. So 50% of them said VR nowadays just have a limited content. So for example if we open the Google Play Store or iOS we've seen we will see many roller coaster experience and you know zombie experience and something like that. And yeah it's limited like it's repetitive. Like I'm first playing Pokemon Go it's good. It's excellent but after that after months it's quite boring. I don't see any challenge to play that. And the second one is bad content. And of course in Indonesia they also have a problem with expensive devices. HMD, PC and controller. So for the next year maybe also they will run to the mobile VR. It's Samsung VR or DayZoom VR. And we asked them who want to make their own VR creation. So 65.8% of them they want to make their own VR content. And almost 50% of them they want to make that for game. Game means like a simple game. So followed by the design and education and 360 photo video and 360 animation movie. So and this is the problem for business adopter VR. So like we know that VR can help many industries to make a simulation of the idea and you know for real estate and education and some engineering stuff. But the problem is not everyone in this industry can make interactive VR content. So the alternative solution is higher VR developer but it's expensive for the complicated interaction. And yeah some of our clients say like yeah I cannot do VR because it cannot get good reason of investment. We invest for VR content for engagement but yeah we don't know how much is going back to money for us. So that's why Korean alternative solution is we ask them to learn the code. But sometimes for lazy people like this Homer Simpson like to say this takes forever. Like you know I'm not coder. I'm just a designer. I don't want to do that. And it's come to our solution. We try to make a solution. We call it mindful. The simplest thing to explain is a week for VR. That you can just drag and drop the assets and build. After that you can share on the viewer and on your social media. And after that of course you can sell. You can make money for it.  So that's the point actually. This is the VR creator and a VR viewer that you can create your VR content easily and you can share your VR content also easily. So I have one video also. That this is I create because after I watch Doctor Strange movie. So just drag and drop and we have a gizmo system for doing rotation and scale and move linear. And we also put particle system in this crater. So everybody can put particle and interaction in here. Animation and be like that. So after that it's come to the sorry yeah it's safe. And after that it instantly goes to the viewer by our cloud server. And this is the viewer from mobile phone. So you can see here is the particles and folk and something like that. And creating the port. Okay and yeah this is the how to the mindful works. We create the VR content simply in our PC and our laptop. And we can share our VR content creation to the media. We can share now to Facebook, YouTube and Instagram for 260 photo snapshot. And if you want to share the VR content to your friends and or your client you just simply share to our mindwalk viewer. And after that you can view in the viewer app. And no coding needed. You just put simply like if you want to make a finding treasure game you just simply click the interaction panel. And you just simply choose the interaction that you want to make. If you want to make finding treasure game just click finding treasure game and then you just drag and drop the assets you want to find and how much the time is and what the message behind of it. Yeah this is the creator and viewer. In creator this is drag and drop, no coding and shareable. And also you can import assets and collaborative. And this is the viewer. We have also easy UX experience in Universal. And we can also have a basic editing in the viewer. Okay, if there's any question. If no I will demo. There's two questions for ender. So is this release yet? I think that's one question that everyone wants. Now we are still on progress. Now in our closed alpha, second alpha actually. And everyone in here if you want to try our product you can simply go to www.mindfolk.syntavr.com So you can download it from here. And also the viewer you can go to the play store. Now we only make a viewer for Android only. So you can go to the play store and search for Mindfolk. You can download it. We will share all this information if you guys on the media page. And one more question is that So how long for the Doctor Strange? How long do you take to do that? Doctor Strange is full, it's only 25 minutes. 25 minutes while I think that's interesting. So maybe it's just simple. I think we will have some short time to have some demo. Huh? Wait. Okay, so we have best style, structure, and item, and creature. And it's just simply just drag and drop this. And you can simply duplicate. You also can simply duplicate and just put this. For example put here and this is the player position in here. And also for the items you can have many. And this is also for creatures. And this is the properties when you can put the background music in here. Because we believe that music is one of the important point in visual reality. And this is the interaction point. So basically you just drag and drop in here. And you can try by yourself when you download the Mindfolk software. And just go to my account. You just simply log in to your Facebook account. And then you save it. And then what you save is instantly go to the viewer. So you download the viewer and you can see what you create. And you can share to your Facebook friends as a 360 photo shoot. And also the apps link to the direct link to the Google Play Store. I think just that. Thank you.


So, good afternoon. I'm going to present, on behalf of a broad group of people, a description of a third consecutive outbreak of meningococcal sea in northern Nigeria of a brand new strain. So, our setting is northwest Nigeria. During the dry season, the harmaton winds off the Sahel, meaning it's very hot, dry and dusty. It is part of the meningitis belt in sub-Saharan Africa, where historically they've been explosive outbreaks of meningitis, meningococcal meningitis, primarily due to serogroup A. This led to the development and rollout of MenafriVac, a monovalent conjugate vaccine that stimulates long-lasting immune protection against serogroup A. The rollout of that is shown on the map here, with the different years in blue, in different colours of blue. So, the background for the outbreak in 2015 was two sequential localised outbreaks in the previous two years, each including sort of hundreds of cases, as shown in the graph. In 2013, the area's primary


And we are going to get an update from the commissioner for us in parks, Michael Schneider and the deputy commissioner Sam Lincoln on how the forestry project is going with the help from COVID-19 and move forward with that so that we are knowledgeable. And if any questions come up, we could help answer them. So good morning, a commissioner and deputy commissioner and glad to have you with us. And I would expect, Michael, are you gonna lead off? Sure, thanks, Senator Stern. Good morning everyone, happy to be with you. Thanks for the invite. We're pleased to be able to give an overview of what we've done with the $5 million that was authorized for us to make grants to businesses in the forest economy known as the forest economy stabilization grants. My part here will be brief to really just introduce and tee it up for Sam with my thanks and ask folks to appreciate this was a monumental effort and Sam led a team of our folks and some partners in standing up this program, working through VEDA and getting more than $3.5 million out the door to these businesses along the way. So we're prepared to give you a quick rundown. We can follow it up with a written report if you need. But with that and my great appreciation, I'll hand it over to Sam to just hit the high points and then I'd suggest the high points Sam and then we're prepared to give you details and background or answer questions as you may have them. So thanks all again and take it away Sam. All right, thank you. Good morning, everybody. Nice to see you. For the record, Sam Lincoln Deputy Commissioner Department of Forest Parks and Recreation Act 138 created the forest economy stabilization grant program with $5 million to go out to eligible forest products businesses suffering economic harm as a result of the pandemic and the eligible businesses were forest managers, harvesting, trucking, processing, manufacturing, crafting or distribution businesses all up and down the supply chain, everything from the stump through furniture makers, crafters and truckers, all aspects of it. We partnered with VEDA. They did their reviews on the applications. We opened up the applications on August 5th. And then tended to close on September 4th. We had the deadline of September 15th where the funding expires and reverts to the agency of commerce and community development. We got close to that date and we hadn't used all the funds up and we extended the application for four more days up until this Tuesday afternoon. At that time we have approved 70 grants totaling just over $3.6 million out of the $5 million appropriation. We did a revenue loss reimbursement for businesses that some of the other grant programs have done a percentage of past years, revenue or things we required business owners to upload a profit and loss statements for all of 2019 and year to date 2020 did a comparison of the revenue. And if they demonstrated $5,000 or more in revenue loss for the months of the pandemic we did a dollar for dollar revenue replacement up to $100,000. We did 70 grants that averaged $52,245 a piece. We had 32 managing or harvesting businesses, 24 manufacturers, distributors and crafters, eight forest trucking businesses and six processors which includes sawmills and fuel wood producers, et cetera. These businesses are all pretty significant throughout the forced economy of wide range and size, average six employees and the average revenue per business across the applications was just over $1.1 million a year. So these are all pretty important rural businesses out there in our economy. And so I'll stop there if you have questions or if there's more I can provide. One other good note of, I think just to make, right Sam, 13 counties we funded in and I don't think we had any from Grand Isle. So we made grants to businesses in every county of the state except Grand Isle for which there were no applicants. Yeah, Brian. Thank you, Mr. Chair and welcome Sam and Michael it's great to see you. I wanna express my appreciation to Senator Polina who sent me a email from one of my constituents as it turns out. So I just wanna read this and see where we are with it. His name is Bob Gasperetti. He's a furniture maker in Mount Tabor and he's having trouble accessing the forestry grant. We would like to know whether the Ag Committee would push back the deadline. And so when Sam mentioned your deadline right now is next Tuesday, is that correct Sam? Next Wednesday, the 15th. Next Wednesday. If I sent you this gentleman's name and email address would you be able to assist him in getting the application in before that date? I spoke with him yesterday Senator actually. Oh, okay. And called Bob yesterday. Yeah, that's how we roll at FPR, yes. And we were just in Senate economic development explaining the same thing to Senator Hooker who had called me about this as well. Bob, I've known Bob through the Wood Manufacturers Association. He had talked with Sam and others. Basically when it comes down to he had applied for an ACCD grant, I think he got one. He was trying to stack for additional loss of the forest economy stabilization grant. And at the last minute, for whatever reason he did not upload his application. It's not in the system. Our deadline, the statutory deadline of the 15th is for the money to be spent. And given the process and the timeline we didn't wanna be in a position of awarding someone a grant and then not being able to pay it because of it closed. So we needed to time it right. Sam was very careful with this to try to, well, let's extend it to get as many as we can but not push it too far. So that was the eighth was deemed the close. So Bob's application actually never got loaded in by the deadline. And that's kind of the problem here. We've talked to him about his alternatives, his options to go back to ACCD, to the working lands cares recovery grant. We're gonna help him there. And I indicated to him that we had talked about coming in before you all and saying, hey, can we change this deadline? It appeared that it wasn't legislatively possible to get the change made in time. So unfortunately it's closed. He didn't make it in and we're standing by ready to either, if there's extra funds left over, it reverts to ACCD. We just got done speaking with Commissioner Goldstein. We would be working with them to try to get Bob money through that alternative funding. So I hope that explains just generally that certainly we're aware and jumped on the situation as quick as we could. And it's an example that there are additional businesses out there that we've not been able to get help to and we want to. Sorry, Sam, if you wanna fill in there, just I had the conversation with Bob. I wanted to be sure to report on it. Well, you have, or you had one point, you still have it, 1.4 million that's not expended. We didn't put that in where it would revert to the working lands program in our bill, did we? No, it goes to ACCD and just to be clear about the remainder, whatever remains, we still have to take out what we will pay Vita for their role in this, which was statutorily designed. So we don't know what that will be, but it will be less than the 1.4. But so the remainder will not be the total that you see there or what we've reverted on because we have yet to be invoiced, if you will, by Vita. What about having Bob go to working lands at the Ag Agency because forestry, forest products is in there? That's what we've advised him. We definitely encouraged him to do that. And Sam just told me, it looks like they're gonna raise that cap too, which will really help in this regard. So we have, that's center-star, that's what we've suggested that Mr. Gaspar to do is go there. And I think maybe at first there was a concern that it wouldn't be big enough, but I think now they've lifted the cap, Sam, am I right that that might actually help his situation? That's my understanding. So you're saying you just ask a follow-up. Was Bob happy at the end of the phone call with you?  Well, I don't wanna speak for Bob, but I mean, as I told Senator Hooker on the phone yesterday, I was like, listen, I wanna make something clear here. Bob was very, it was clear Bob was frustrated by what seemed to be a technical glitch and why can't I just get this fixed? But he couldn't have been more polite, more civil, more understanding. So I was grateful for that. I think he understands that we want him to get this money, but we have to treat the things fairly and we have to follow the rules of the road. So my sense is that he was reasonably satisfied, but still eager to get some help and whatever way we can get it to him. I'll follow up with him. Thank you very much. So just to be clear in the finish setup, you're suggesting that he go to working lands? Is that what you're saying? Yes, I think there's an opportunity for him to get one of the working lands COVID recovery grants, not regular working lands money. And that's another way to get help. I would say though, if there's beyond that, if our funds can be turned over and gone to ACCD, I know Joan seemed interested in funding him there through there. So there's multiple, I see at least two pathways for him to get additional assistance. Thanks, Sam. Rose? Yeah, so a couple of questions, not withstanding Bob, are there other people who you've been talking to and having similar conversations that may have missed the deadline or had technical issues that you haven't been able to fund because of that? I'll defer to Sam, please. Thank you. A couple of things, just to be clear, the cap for the working lands grant is 50,000. I'm not exactly sure when I said earlier, they'd raised it. I don't think they have. Okay, I may be mistaken when I said that earlier, but the cap is 50,000, which I think it's less than ours was, but it's still significant. But back to your original question, Senator Hardy. We have had other applicants that missed the deadline that heard about the program, but hadn't applied in time or for whatever reason. We had other people that had incomplete applications. There were, like I said, we required upload of profit law statements, reconciliation with tax returns, a fairly thorough review of these financials. And we had to cut a certain, let's stop a certain date so we didn't run the clock out and not have funding as it reverts to ACCD. So there are businesses that have reached out that either didn't apply the first time, and or didn't complete their corrections needed to make their documents reconciled. And so there have been some, and it's, like I said, it's unfortunate, but in order to treat everyone the same as the days go on and more people ask for that, we just felt like we would roll right past the date and no longer have funds as we tried to help people get through.  You got a lot of money out the door. So that's really impressive.  So my question, the reason for my question, well, another sub question, and then I'll get back to what I wanted to say.  Did you cover expenses that any of these operations might have had related to? We did not set the program up to intake additional expenses, COVID related expenses. We hadn't been hearing about that as an issue in the forest economy, generally. And we made it clear that grant funds could be spent on COVID related, to be spent on expenses they'd incurred because of the pandemic and things like that. But we generally weren't hearing of needs or large expenses being made by the businesses in the forest economy that were related to this. The way that some other sectors of the economy might have to stand up lots of workplace sanitization or things like that. These were much more related to revenue loss. Okay, so I guess my, if we're, what I'm hearing from you is there may be other business owners in addition to Bob who have not gotten the funding and that the best, most logical place to send them is to working lands. So I'm wondering if we as, and this is more of a question for the committee, if we could put language in that the funds would work to the working lands funds, your unused funds, whatever it may be 1.4 million less what Vita gets instead of going to ACCD because if these forestry related businesses need help that's the best place for them. So I'd like to be able to provide the money through that. So I don't know if it's too late but just wanted to throw that out there. That's a possibility we could put it in our, in our ag bill. It should have, we should have had, I mean, we're the ones that put this together. We should have had it revert back to the working lands program. And then we could have funneled these guys through, through working lands to, you know to be sure to get to as many people as possible. Right. I mean, we still could do it. It can be retroactive, I think. And it, it may be just that forest parks and rec sort of holds onto the money and says, Hey, we know there's legislation coming. I don't know. But I think it might be something worth looking into because clearly there's still some needs out there that are in this sector. Give me another, go ahead, Sam. Oh, we have been ever since the beginning and anybody that we deemed ineligible for our program one way or another. And there have been some, we've found in particular that either some of our larger businesses in the state and the forest economy have exceeded the $20 million cap of annual revenue. We've found some of our very important businesses are not Vermont domicile, et cetera. But we have, for those businesses that have found a way to, to generate more revenue. They're good managers. And for whatever reason, they've not met our eligibility standards. We've said, go to working lands, go check that out. For whatever reason, they may, they're all very unique situations. And we've pointed all of them to the working lands, our website now directs people to working lands and we're ready to help support that program, however we can in the sector, the sector of the economy. The other issue is, you know, VHCB as a whole crew of people scattered around Vermont to assist people that are having technical problems or issues. I just, I don't have that number in front of me, but Linda could send it to you guys so that you, or have you been putting that out anyhow? We have Senator Starr. We had VHCB enforced liability program jumped right in with us immediately and they had several consultants contracted available at no cost to forced economy business owners to develop the proper documentation to upload applications if they didn't have internet connectivity. Our staff were available seven days a week from the day the application opened until it closed to help people get their documents corrected. So we've been all hands on deck there too. And we have been giving, I can't quite tell you Mariah's number off, I think it's 828-1098, but I'm not 100% sure of the number at VHCB, but I have presented that to many business owners. Yeah. He looks good, does any folks? He looks good for a man who hasn't slept since June. Well, people don't realize, the general public don't realize, I don't think, how had you folks and other folks in state government have been working to get this money out the door.    We still got 200 dairy farmers out there, farmers that haven't got their application in yet. And Gali, it's important that we kick this money out the door to keep the economy going and help these businesses stay alive. Other questions, Chris? Hi, thanks guys. And, you know, you should be proud because a lot of other programs, aid programs have struggled and you've basically been able to spend the great bulk of the money and help for monitors. I'm encouraged by that. Somebody sent me the list of where the grants went. And I guess I was a little surprised that they were more on the recreational side and seemed a little less in the forestry. I had thought more of wood products and stuff like that. And I wonder if you can just talk to us a little bit about the thinking and that logic. Sure, Senator Pearson, and thanks for your comments. We really appreciate it. And I think you may have seen the list that I shared with several that was for the another grant program that we were authorized to spend. That was the Outdoor Recreation Grants. Oh, okay. A pool of 1.5 million to us to give out to outdoor recreation businesses. So those are tours, summer camps. That's totally separate than the five. Even a separate legislation, separate bills. That makes more sense. Do we have, is it on our website, the list of grantees that the... No, no, Sam just ran through a quick sort of overview, but we can prepare that, right, Sam? And send that along. It's there's 70 and they range from consulting foresters, logging contractors, maple sap producers, distributors, crafters, trucking, and a few sawmills. So they are, as you would have expected, all very much in the kind of core of the forest economy supply chain. Great, well, don't prepare that for me, but I'm assuming you have a report like everybody else does on this stuff. So I'll look for it there once you submit that. But that gets at your question though. That's, yeah. Did, do you recollect a TAF from Charleston ever got in? I don't know if I'm just to identify individual applicants or not, but I believe that we were successful in resolving issues that came up in your county, Senator. Well, of course that's where it all got kind of started. Deserved that, I'm just hoping that, you know, you took care of folks that at least get in. Now, has ACCD, have they offered to help do these folks that didn't have complete applications and didn't help out? Did they, that damn phone. I don't know what happens when I unplug the thing right off the wall. But are they trying, or is anyone trying to contact the ones that didn't make it in because of incomplete applications or do you know if they are or not helping? So I've been sending emails to the incomplete applications reminding them that they're in the queue and that their application has not been approved, that it needed corrections and saying if they missed, I think I sent an email a few hours before the deadline on Tuesday saying if they did not get through the door to go to ACCD and or the working lands fund, which has been a regular recommendation of ours. It's on our website now directing people. So we've been clear and as we're wrapping up, I think we haven't had another conversation with ACCD or working lands in the last few days as we wrapped up, but we can certainly plan to talk about that and if there's a way to direct more communication to those businesses to do that, we're happy to do so. And one other thing that I, to some of the other comments that have been made and I certainly, I wanna make sure to point out a lot of tremendous work by our staff helping this all happen as well as that I mentioned the forever force viability program, but Vita was an enormous help to us getting this up and running. They had worked a lot with ACCD and Vita staff were also reviewing applications seven days a week and they helped us get, get this program up and running very quickly. We wouldn't have been able to do it without them. Any other questions for Michael or Sam, Brian? Thank you, Mr. Chair. Not a question, just wanna echo Senator Hardy and Senator Pearson and Senator Starr and I assume Senator Polina is feeling you guys should really feel good about what you've done. It's really rewarding and it feels good when state government functions as efficiently as it apparently has in your department. So thank you both very much and please pass along our thanks to your staff. We will. And again, we really appreciate it. It's really nice to hear these folks really, really cranked and it was not easy and we share the same sentiment. We're proud to get it out the door, do what we're here to do, help people and I'll just turn it around and say to you guys, thanks for giving us the chance to do it and authorizing it and supporting this sector as a specific sector of our economy with a lot of values. So we really appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah. Well, eventually we're gonna try to get forestry moved to Ag over in the Senate side so we can help you guys even more in the future because it's really important to our rural economy and I think you would get more and better attention if it dealt with an agriculture and forestry rather than in some other areas of the Senate. Thanks Senator Starr. Could I make one more comment please?  This is very comfortable here. Yeah, it isn't bad at all. We're all socially distanced by hundreds of miles and no, we're still working on the committee room now and boy, it's like getting teeth out of a chicken I'll tell you is this problem and that problem and this one has to say okay and this group has to okay it. I mean, it's way beyond my thinking the complications that people raise but anyway, we really appreciate you guys all the work and your time this morning and keep up the good work and hopefully we'll be back in Montpelier. Well, of course we got a little election between now and when the legislature reconvenes but hopefully we'll be back so we can work together again. We look forward to it, thank you all. And the other reminder is if you bump into problems between now and when we go home that you think we could help you with don't be shy about emailing us or getting hold of us because when we work together we get good things done and sometimes you shy away and say, well, I've been to the table too many times but feel free to contact us if something arises. Appreciate that, we will and that's really nice to hear because we do have respect that you're busy and you have a lot of incoming and I don't wanna be a pest ever. It's nice to hear that you welcome a little incoming if we have something to be at least to run it by so thank you for that, we'll do.  I'm counting on that, yes. I'll throw out there too that the situation, the drivers and all this and the forced economy are ongoing and the big major drop in the global demand for paper is ongoing. We're talking to paper mills that still have wood cut last winter in their yards that they haven't used yet in the orders and 16% of the low grade wood or all the wood harvest that in Ramon's forest lands at a paper mill and that demand has been curtailed severely. So as long as people are continuing to work remotely and a few other factors there's a real whiplash going on in the forest economy. So it'll be good to check in and talk about that again and we'll certainly be ready to talk about any ideas as they come up. Well, and don't forget that we did get the I think it was S 190 that was in Chris Pearson's finance committee. We did get that voted out and sent to the house and it would be nice if we could get S 190 passed through the house. It's the extension of the Rye Gate paper mill to so we could know that we've got long-term chip disposal area right here in Vermont. And so if you get a chance to weigh in on that we'd appreciate it. We'll do. Yeah. Any other questions? Any other questions? Well, thank you guys and we'll see you around. Great, cheers. Thank you. Take care, everyone. So committee, we need to have a little discussion in regards to the holding tank legislation for Addison County. Sorry guys. We have talked about this almost as much as we've talked about chickens. Yeah, it's close. I mean, I don't know which one's in first place, but here they're running neck and neck. We haven't visited the holding tank yet though, except for me, I didn't go visit. So maybe we don't need to go visit. Well, Ruth, you add correspondence with your county seatmate in regards to the holding tank and I think he's agreed to take it up this next week. Apparently, yeah, he wants to get a lot of testimony about it, I have a draft that Michael drafted that is a very narrow amendment that would just do away with the financial surety requirement for holding tanks for very specific nonprofit limited term organizations. This would just make it cheaper for them to get their replacement tank. They do have to get a bigger tank. So this would make it so they didn't have to pay for the basically the insurance for 20 years or whatever it is. So yeah, it's pretty limited and it would only apply to very specific organizations. And did Peter, as Peter Walk talked or you talked with him in regards to the legislation and he's in agreement? So DEC, Commissioner Walk and DEC actually proposed this. They proposed a much broader exemption to the financial surety that would have exempted which would have gotten rid of the financial surety requirements for all holding tanks. And we based on our conversations, Senator Starr and others, we made it much more narrow. So it's only for nonprofit limited time organizations like the fair. So I think DEC wanted a broader one and this is a compromise narrower one that would just allow the exemption for certain organizations. So yeah, I think they're supportive of it. I haven't talked to him recently but I certainly could get him in to see what he says. So what I was thinking as possibly next Tuesday if we can arrange it, we will have our Michael O'Grady and Peter Walk, Commissioner and us get together to go over everything and make sure that we're all on the same page and we're all in agreement. And then try to get hold of the Committee on Natural Resources to see what day we might be able to have a joint meeting if they so desire and kick that out of there because Chris has said that, well, it's under his jurisdiction and anything in Title 10 regardless of what it is of course under his jurisdiction, not the Senate but his. And so we're gonna have to meet with them and I don't know Chris, if that's something you could call him about ahead of time and yeah, you and see him. The guy he's had for me to deal with because of his demeanor and it's question. Well, we are recorded, sir. I mean, I'm happy to call him. I also, I guess I wonder if Senator Hardy as a district mate, why don't Ruth and I talk about what makes sense? But you're basically saying any chance we could all get together on Tuesday to just talk through this issue. Is that what you're asking for? Yeah, it would be kind of nice to get this done for those folks because we'll be into another, somebody will be into another legislative session and then it won't get done until maybe until spring and be too late for the fair. And hopefully we'll have this squared away when the pandemic, by the time this pandemic is over so that things get back to normal or some kind of normal, they can open that welcome center up and have people utilize this wonderful building. Yeah, Chris and I can, Pearson and I can talk about how to move forward with it if you want, if that makes sense. Can I ask about another thing? Is it, does it make sense or is there interest at all or possible to move the money from the forestry thing to the working lands instead of over to ACCD or is it too late to make that change? Well, well, they're gonna, they haven't helped Tuesday, right, to move the money. And I doubt if we're gonna have our bill done, you know, our COVID changes dates and all this done by then. Yeah, I can ask. Yeah, I mean, it's just, if we're sending everybody to working lands, but then we're not putting the extra money in working lands, it's gonna detract from potential farm operations and businesses that are going to working lands. I don't know if it's gonna end up making a difference. It might be a couple grants, but just a thought. It's a million bucks at least, so. I would think that ACCD would support that. I mean, their hands are, I would think are pretty full. And, you know, ag's all set up to help forestry applicants and, you know, woodworking companies. The same basically, it's the same language that we have in working lands for forestry. So, I would think that we could do that. I mean, it's logical and it makes sense. So, we could, Michael isn't with us. He's in commerce today. So, why don't we put that on the schedule for Tuesday? And maybe Michael on Monday could get something drafted up so that we could do that. Would that work? Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Senator Start, Linda's asking in the chat box, Senator Star said he wants committee to meet Tuesday before a joint meeting. Are we talking about two separate meetings? Well, I didn't know if we should go through everything. So, we're squared away, good, before we meet with natural resources. So, if we met, say at nine and we meet with them at 10 or something, that, do you think that's necessary? Well, Tuesday, of course, we'll have a floor at 930, right? Yeah, so, yeah, 10. So, well, do you feel comfortable not meeting before we meet with natural resources? Well, the only thing I might suggest, if Ruth wants to send Chris Bray the language, maybe you already have. And DEC has already, in essence, approved it. And then maybe there's, as little Richard said a long time ago, good golly, Ms. Molly, how don't we talk about this thing long enough? Can't we get this thing done for these people? Yeah. Man. Senator Bray has the language and as does DEC and to be clear, this will not fully take care of them. They still have to buy a new tank because the one they bought was not sufficient, but this will make it cheaper for them to finance the purchase of that tank. But this is the, if we can do this, I'll just say, we're done, this is all we can do. They still have to have a tank that's sufficient to meet the flow of the building. So, but this, it's just meant to make it more affordable for this small operation, especially now when they had a whole year of no revenue. And the crazy part is that they already have, I think, three tanks and three different facilities. Their population at the event has not increased. So it's the same number of people. We've added a 7,000 gallon tank on top of the other three, but yet it's not quite enough to handle the same population that's been going to the fair for the last few years. So, you know, it's all very weird and strange. But, so why don't we then just try to meet with Chris? We'll meet with Michael and Peter if we can't meet with Chris, because I'm sure he'll have his schedule all laid out for the next month. But he's gonna try to squeeze us in. Okay, I think it makes sense to have Michael and Peter, and if we can meet jointly and take care of this, that would be helpful. Thank you, Chris. And we'll try to meet after the floor on Tuesday. Sounds good. So I think we'll jump off. Is there anything else that needs to be brought up? I don't think so. No, if not, thanks a lot and we'll see you on the Senate floor in 15, 20 minutes.


So in the past we have seen a few weapons found within the game files which have never seen the light of day in the official game. Some weapons are actually amazing and would make great additions to BR3. Today we look at another weapon found which at the moment doesn't drop anywhere in game. How's it going guys my name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like really helps out and subscribe if you do want to see more. Also before we go any further for all your gaming needs not matter the platform you play it on at amazing prices and incredible weekly deals check out G2A linked within the video description. So we have seen a few weapons in the past some amazing items actually which have never been added into the game or into any loot pool. These weapons have been found within the coding of the game files and players on PC can easily extract said files and spawn these weapons into the game. Weapons and other items as well which means we can actually check them out. In the past we have seen some crazy unique legendary weapons such as the ice pick, the bite size which is my favourite, the P2P networker, the portals and shards and many many others. These and many other weapons we are yet to see added into the game and these like I said are all a part of the game files it's just they are not in any of the loot pools. We actually saw this very same thing happen with the mongol launcher it was found within the game files I think literally not long after release or about a month after release but it was only recently added into the game so hey these weapons found within the game files we may see them within the future we just do not know. Today's weapon is another launcher and it's called the Bombination which you guys can see on screen now. This clv heavy at a level 60 actually looks kind of average I'm not going to lie not quite offering the damage of some of the legendary launches in the game I mean it's can't really say it's not to be expected some epics in this game are actually pretty badass and better than some of the legendos but this one looks quite basic but it is I will state far from the worst. Now looking at this item and the way it works it does remind me a lot of the Zooka and the way in which that works and this might be the reason as to why this may have not actually been added into the loot pools in the game or maybe it's a weapon we'll see in the near future like I said the thing about that is the fact there are so many amazing unique legendos within the game files that have been there for absolute months which haven't been added into the game yet and this isn't to say to whatever be added I mean to me though it just doesn't look promising. The amount that are there probably 10 and some of them I mean are incredible and you're actually unique to themselves some of these are unlike anything in the game like the pistol you can see on the screen now so it is a true shame that we probably won't ever see these things. Now this Bombination is a weapon I did indeed put through its paces and although this version I'm using has been scaled to match what it would be within a mayhem 10 upon my testing it is kind of weak. Now this was used within my lazy zane build which can make most weapons look semi-decent but not this one this was literally just blowing air at enemies and although I know it isn't a point it added to another point in which I don't actually feel missing out on anything with this weapon not being in the game I mean if we ever see a pia gearbox we'll likely buff the weapon before dropping it in. This I can't say is the case for other weapons in the game files though in which I feel are amazing both in design and uniqueness and also pack a great punch but yeah guys this is just another weapon in a long line of them in which I actually don't feel for now at least we will ever see a future where you can get your hands on these weapons on console so stay tuned for updates of their people. Now could it to imagine a web for hooking me up with this weapon for this video we wouldn't be possible without him so shout out to him but on that note guys we have come to the end if you guys enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out if you're new and you want to see more Borderlands be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video we upload can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button but guys thanks as always for stopping by hopefully you enjoyed the video and hopefully I'll see you on that next one


You only get three weeks heads up of when your show is gonna air, right? And so for sure, like the first thing you're doing is you're on a tip phone with your development team, right?  Like the biggest thing you work should make sure your website don't crash. And if your website goes down, let's say for an hour right after the show airs, like that's the time where you probably gonna make the peak amount of money that you would have made, right? That's just unacceptable. And different contingency plans. If it's another thousand orders for a month or if it's another 10,000, right? Like, what's the difference? And when do we enact this plan? So we have a written plan that we have in place and it's like, when we hit a certain number, that's when we'll, you know, push the button and fire all of a sudden.
