Aloha. This is Politics for the People. And we are welcoming you to this Think Tech show, which occurs every week. I'm Stephanie Stoll Dalton, and I'm your host for the show. Our topic today is about sanctions and the sanctions dilemma, how, why, when to end and those kinds of topics. Our panel of guests is here to discuss these issues with us. And I'd like to welcome J-Fi Dal and Tim Apachella. So welcome. What, let's just get started, J, on the sanctions dilemma. You know, what is the efficacy of the sanctions today? Let's start with where we are and what they are and how they're working. What are you thinking about that? It's mechanical. You put the sanctions in place to discourage Russia from invading Ukraine, okay? And Russia continues to evade the sanctions and invade Ukraine. So I guess I would have to say they can't be working. If they're working, it's in some future sense. If they're working, it's in some sense it reaches, you know, the people on the street some way, but it hasn't stopped Putin from attacking Ukraine, period. It has brought. He's still doing it. Yeah, he has, we've brought, it's brought suffering to the people and no, has had no impact on Putin is what you're saying. So. No, he gets around it. He finds ways to get around it. I mean, his trick a few days ago was to sell oil for Rupals. And that bolstered the price, the value of a Rupal. So where the Rupal initially came way down because of the sanctions, that brought it up again.  He's able to maintain the war even though, you know, even though he's got the sanctions on him. Now, one other trick he's doing, I'm sure there are a lot of tricks, you know, in his playbook is that, you know, remember there are two pipelines to Germany. One is called number one and one is called number two. And number two, they pulled the permit on it. The Germans said, we're not going to finish that. And we're not going to take oil through that pipeline. Okay, great. But nobody talks about number one. And in fact, you know, number one is still pumping. And in fact, he's earning hundreds of millions of euros every day from the sale of oil through number one. And that's helping him fund the war over a period of time. That is a lot of money. So let's see, the number, oh, it's Nord Stream. Nord Stream one and Nord Stream two. Nord Stream two isn't functioning, but Nord Stream one still is. And he's got other things up his sleeve too. And he manages to deflect the effects of the sanctions so far. Well, Tim, can you continue on this issue as to whether there can be an effect? Can the West have an effect on Putin that's damaging and will deter him? What do you think about that? What is it that can be done and can it be done? Well, it's, you know, the coalition has to hold hands and decide to do these very difficult things together. And the thing that will finally make Putin pause for a moment, maybe reverse the invasion. If Europe, all of Europe says no, we're not gonna buy your oil or your gas products. But that's not happening, as Jay just pointed out. And as long as that's still occurring, then Putin gets the funding for his incursion, his invasion. So that would be the next step, I think. If already Putin is a war criminal, but it hasn't been formally defined. By the way, once you have a definition of war criminal, it makes, it changes the playing field altogether. Once that definition has been labeled on Putin's, and I don't think it's if, it's just when. You will see the rest of Europe being forced not to play ball with him because of that definition. So until that definition is developed and sticks to him, it could go either way. It really could, these sanctions. Okay, so Tim, do you think that the Europe needs a lot of encouragement to do this? They are the frontier. No, they need gas and they need oil. They need it from the United States. We've got to pump up production, which some of the criticisms for Biden shutting things down immediately, some of that could be valid, some of those criticisms. Sure, he didn't anticipate an incursion from Russia into Ukraine like we all have seen. And so it's gonna take time to revive either fracking or some of the gas production and get it over to Germany and Europe.  So that's not workable. So there has to be an alternative source until we can finally squeeze the Russia out of the game. All right, and we have the technology to go forward with and so that's a wonder, that's an appropriate suggestion and highly needed. What about the Europeans who have led the world in understanding the threat that this other Putin and his country hold towards Europe and the West? Are they in position and are they willing to make more sacrifice? I know you say that they would have to do that. I mean, the question is, if we're gonna have stronger sanctions to get at the oil and gas, Russia part of it, but are they going to be willing to make that kind of sacrifice? Do you see, Tim, that they have that? Again, I think the more draconian Putin portrays himself and acts, the easier it's for Europe to do that. And again, what I think once the definition of war criminal and war crimes is levied against Putin and Russia, it makes it easier for them to say, okay, we really have to cross the Rubicon here, that we're gonna have to incur some pain, but if not here now, then it'll be later. So we already have a mad dog for, as a participant in Europe, his name is Putin, and like all mad dogs, they need to be put down. It's just getting to that point where they realize that this guy cannot play on the world stage ever again. And again, once the definition is levied, then that makes that decision a lot easier and therefore they can go to the people of each country and say, we really are in a pre-World War II environment here where we have a madman and we have to put him down. And we're gonna have to take him out economically first and then hopefully he'll be captured and take it to the Hague later. But that's way down the road. So the economic pain needs to be endured first. But I think he's already crossed that line and certainly he would cross the line even further with the advancement of chemical or biological weapons. That's a very important point. And so Jay, do you think that there's any possibility that the Russian people are ready to change that leadership? And where do you think the impetus comes for changing the leadership? I think I'm making an assumption that is the people. But do you agree with that? How might that work and how likely is that? Certainly in the near term. It's not likely at all. This was out of 1984 in George Orwell. He's got them all brainwashed. He's flooding the propaganda and a good percentage of them are buying it have already integrated. It's sort of like the Trump base. It's not rational. It's not critical thinking, but they buy it because it's all over them every day in television. So A, I don't think the Russian people are ready to depose him and B, I don't think that's likely gonna happen in the future either. This is an example of what a dictator can do using the technology of the media. And as is the sad story is he'll continue in office and it'll take some really remarkable events to take him out of office. Maybe a select few that would do a push or a coup. But I don't see any indication of that either.  He's managed to squash the press. He's managed to squash opponents in any election and freedom of speech and democracy in general. I mean, there were figments of it a couple of years ago. Navalny was a figment of it, but now it's over. And he controls the country and everybody seems to be, you know, buying into that. So that's the way it is and that's the way it's gonna be. And if you're looking for a path to remove him, I really, I don't think anyone can see the path.  I'm not sure that that can happen in absentia. You know, it's a sequence thing.  Therefore we'll have a proceeding, but then you gotta get him and then you gotta litigate it. And you gotta show that he fits within whatever the definition is. I think that the people of Europe, not sure about the US, but the people of Europe have already decided.  But the thoughtful people of Europe have already concluded, and including NATO and the EU officials, they've already concluded he's a war criminal. And it does shape their thinking. It was a, there was some comments between the foreign minister of Ukraine and the NATO chief of the NATO organization yesterday. And somebody said, your attitude about weapons seems to have changed NATO. What made it change? And he said, very flat out, Bukha made it change. The war crimes that were conducted in Bukha have made us change our view on what weapons we're gonna give the Ukrainians and we will give them more. And of course, the guy from Ukraine, the foreign minister was saying, there's only three things in my agenda. So what's that? That's weapons, weapons, and weapons. I didn't want to say that. Yeah, that was a sense of humor, like, like Zelensky. Yeah, yeah. But the point is that they're on the same page now about weapons anyway, because the Ukrainians probably want more and more powerful and more high tech and all that. But they're getting, or at least they're getting promises, now immediate promises from NATO about giving them more weapons. And it's all because of what Putin has done in Bukha and other cities like Mariupol. And he's killed thousands of people. Is there, Tim and I have had this conversation before.  And you don't even take care of them. You don't allow them humanitarian. I mean, that is war crimes. That is tantamount to what happened in Germany. And it'll keep on going until somebody stops Putin. It'll go from 5,000 to 10,000 to 50,000 into the millions unless somebody stops him. Well, you know, the topic of the show is the dilemma of sanctions, which was meant to point to the potential success of sanctions in that if you impose sanctions, you have a withdrawal date in mind. And you have circumstances upon which that withdrawal would be made. And it looks like perhaps you're saying that Putin has already outplayed that one because there's not gonna be any response that's gonna lighten or withdraw this war from the people of Ukraine. Tim, what do you think about that? Has he really? Well, sanctions, again, I'll go back to my point. Once the definition of war criminals been labeled, there is no withdrawal of sanctions until this war criminal is apprehended, I think. Just as a point, you know, remember the served leader, Milozovich, was convicted in abstentia. He was convicted and then they got him. And then he served his time out and died at the Hague. So it can be done. He doesn't have to be captured first, then put on trial. It could all be done in abstentia. So, but again, one of the things that Putin wants that he mentioned in Turkey was that, one, that you dropped the quest for NATO, two, you dropped the sanctions, and three, you dropped all allegations of war crimes. I think we're past that now. I don't think in negotiations, you can go to that and give Putin what he wants. So therefore, how do you negotiate a settlement of the Ukraine invasion, when war crimes will be on the table and won't be taken off the table? So how do you get to diplomacy again? So that's where we're far, far from that, even though Putin has acted. Had we not seen butcha, had we not seen it, you know, up front and close, Putin might have had an opportunity to get out of it. But now it's etched in our memories. And it's, and Jay yesterday said, and rightly so, how is this any different than the camps of Auschwitz and all the death camps in Germany and Poland and the Holocaust? How is this any different? And you really have to look at and say, there isn't. Not different in number, that's all. Numbers, yes, of course, yes. And you rightly pointed out that the Holocaust was focused on a particular race of people. And this one is this wholesale slaughter of everyone. Yes, it's dire. I wanna go to one point, though. Okay, we have a question after that. You framed this around the word dilemma, okay? And I take Tim's point about dilemma. First of all, we have seen so far in the past several months. And then if you look back into 2013, 2014, that Putin doesn't make peace. He never makes peace. He goes to the end game all the time. And he hasn't shown any sign of making peace now. So it's a theoretical thing only about whether he would get on the table and make peace. It'd be so stressed that he would have to make peace. And then the question then, this is a dilemma. The question then is whether Zelinsky would accept any kind of peace agreement with Putin even if there was a peace agreement, which I doubt, where Zelinsky and Western Europe would forgive him the war crimes and would reverse the sanctions. And Zelinsky, rightly so, would say, no way. We are not forgiving him. We lost thousands of people. He destroyed our country. We're not forgiving him. Western Europe may be of a different mind about that. They might really wanna have peace. And on the sanctions, although I think Western Europe would probably roll the sanctions back as part of a peace. Right now, end of sanctions. Zelinsky would probably do that too. So it's the war crimes that create the dilemma. It's a moral issue. And I don't think it's resolvable. I don't think there's any middle ground. I don't think that's good. I agree. It's gonna stand in the way of any negotiation because Zelinsky will never agree to forgive. And of course, the question is- And there should NATO. But Putin is always going to require those two points. You have to forgive me, you have to pardon me and my country. And also, you have to roll back the sanctions. I don't know about NATO. I mean, they're gonna be practical at the end of the day.  You're right. I mean, it stands in the way for him. But remember that he doesn't settle. And he doesn't settle. The Russians have the famous thing about painting the grass green. When the general comes to the army barracks, they paint the grass green because it's a matter of delivering the message to the general and showing there. So he would probably announce that he's won. He would announce that he won the war even if he didn't win the war. That'd be the Russian approach. But I think more likely he's gonna keep on pounding. He's gonna keep on doubling down. Him and Trump do the same thing. Keep on doubling down. And at the end of the day, he's gonna get into a position militarily where he can say he won. And whether he has to paint the grass green or not. And I think that's gonna be the end of this. There isn't going to be an agreement. Really important point. And I'm gonna go to the question now so that we have a chance to cover it. And it's a little bit, it's long. As our questions usually go. So I'll read it to you and then we'll get some comment from Tim first, okay? All right, recently, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Congress that the US was prepared to use the same sorts of economic sanctions if China were to move against Taiwan, citing the success and severity of the sanctions against Russia. Any approach to removing the sanctions against Russia will set a precedent for the duration and end state consequences of US sanctions in similar cases of aggression, like China versus Taiwan. In a sense, it clarifies and bounds the cost benefit analysis for future aggressor states analysis which might show the cost to be worth the benefits. So should the US consider the presidential value of its removal of sanctions, of its removal of sanctions on Russia in this way? And if so, what should that precedent be? So here we're taking it into the hall of mirrors, another couple of feet. I feel like I'm in a spelling bee. Could you use that in a sentence, please? That's okay. You know, first off, Jersey Yellen find that odd that she made that comment because she's basically put President Biden in a corner about what's gonna happen if China gets involved with Taiwan. And I would think that's more of a political decision than the Janet Yellen's decision. But that was interesting that she stated that. We talked about this yesterday. And you know, what sanctions do we start placing on China and India for their support of Putin and his war machine, his invasion machine. And they're helping him out on the side. I think it's, it is time for the world that buys products from China and India to say, maybe we won't, maybe we cut that back and tried to get some cooperation through a soft stick approach. And maybe the stick gets a little bit harder if it fails to garnish any results. So you would soften then the US position. In other words, give him a chance to be in his own recovering economy. It seems like- No, not for Putin. Oh, no, no. Putin is, again, he needs to be taken out one way or the other, either through his own people or other means. He's crossed the Rubicon, he's gone too far. It's too late for Putin, he has to go. I agree with President Biden, he needs to go. And so I'm just saying that you, this will take a lot longer if you keep getting countries like China and India to help out on the side, quietly. They may not continue to do that. I talked to somebody just came back from India. And the word is that the Indians are really softening on this. Good, that's good news to hear. Unfortunately, it's hard for us to turn our backs on China because we get everything from China. That's tough, that's a tough order. It's hard for them to take an affirmative position, supporting Russia, affirmatively too, because they sell us everything. But I would like to make a point that I don't remember we discussed yesterday and that's this. There's another constituency here. It's the people who've been disrupted, tortured, maimed, killed, who have had incredible suffering. And in the 21st century, I guess to me in today's world, you should be entitled to some compensation for that. And certainly under American law and probably under European law. Now there are enormous assets that are already frozen, millions and millions and millions of dollars are frozen in the West. So that even if you, maybe it's a sort of a gray answer here, but even if you relaxed some of the sanctions, for example, you can buy oil from Russia now, it's okay. The fact is there's all this money locked up and there are all these claims that are unresolved. And I think those claims have to go forward. And those assets that are locked up have to stand ready to pay those claims. So what is a life worth? What is torture worth? What is being maimed intentionally? What is having your family thrown into a pit? What is that worth in ruffles and dollars or in whatever the funds they use in Ukraine? So my point is that a court has to get its hands on this. A court has to determine how much these people should be compensated and it is going to be a ton of money and it is forever. Yeah, and the reports I've heard lately are that the funds here that are in the United States under hidden names and sequestered in various places, they're never getting those back and they would be first of all designated for this. I'll go a step further, Stephanie. Let's assume for a moment that the amount of compensation exceeds those funds. And it may, but it's like $500 billion. Well, what's a life worth when you're torturing somebody and all that? This reminds me of the 60 minutes I saw years ago of the gentleman I wish I could remember his name. It was his responsibility to determine the compensation to the 9-11 victims. And it was an interesting matrix of considerations. And I mean, it was just fascinating on how do you calculate the worth of the value of a life and the impact of the family and... Part of that, it doesn't shock your conscience, you know? Beyond 9-11, which was awful, terrible, horrible, and you have now people are being shot in the eye, people being dumped into pits, Allah, Germany in the 30s. So, you know, I think it may exceed the amount of money that's being held. And if that's the case, assume that with me for a moment. Okay, that means that in our lifetimes and for years and years to come, nobody can excuse those claims, not NATO, not the EU, not the US, those claims are gonna stay with Russia. They're gonna be on Russia's back forever. Russia is gonna have to pay them either by assets that are already frozen or by any business that Russia wants to do with the West. They're all gonna be subject to those claims. This is a train wreck. Whatever else happens with the sanctions, whatever sanctions might be rolled back as part of a peace agreement, those claims for death and injury are not going away. You know, Jay, there's also not just the financial claims, but there's the social-moral claims. And I'll look at Germany as an example. I mean, it's really taking two generations for them to try to outlive the Holocaust that was perpetrated by Germans. And there was support by Germans. And two generations later, finally, they're starting to see the light of day about the guilt factor and the way they're being viewed by the rest of the world. So you're right. There's a price to pay, but it's not just financial. I agree. Well, I think the article that we all have by Ann Applebaum, it's in the Atlantic, Atlantic.com, and it's from 331 on 2022. And she goes over the past 30 years and all of the inattention that the West has given to these emerging and warf, preparing them preparatory countries. And we've let that go. And the only thing that is gonna allow freedom and liberal values to exist on this planet is if we are ferocious as are the Ukrainians who are ferocious. It's a ferocity of their response is what is a model for how all the rest of the West must resist these what she calls neo-imperialist appetites. And that there are several group of countries, you know them well, who are absolutely coveting all the territory that's nearby them.  So that this is a very serious and not a theoretical war and that we have to ramp up all of the ways that we can install the protections for the free world and for liberal values. And those include things that we haven't done while we've done a lot of stuff. We haven't done things like have a Russian television or radio program that gives us access to the people. But I'm sure that, Tim, you can think of other things that we haven't done and need to do in order to protect the West's Well, I'll go to someone that was our former president, which I did not admire or support, but I respected him. And that was President Ronald Reagan. He knew the nature of Russia and the government of Russia. And he never for one moment let his guard down. We haven't had a president like Ronald Reagan that had that kind of understanding about the nature of the Russian government and their intentions. And we're back to those days. And I'm glad to see that the lights have come on and our awareness is starting to pick up because we've been very naive about Putin in his ways. And it's time to understand where Putin is and where he's coming from and the nature of Putin and what he's gonna do. So I'm not saying we're back to the Ronald Reagan type of approach to Russia, but at least our awareness, our situation awareness is far, far better than it was a year ago. Well, certainly, yes, we've been jerked. Yeah, we've been jerked. Yeah, so we're out of time. So let's have last comments. Jay, would you give us your last comment and before we go to Tim and then we'll go. No, let's not get too comfortable about solidarity. The solidarity we've seen in Europe, which is pretty good now, especially in the shadow of Buka could disappear. The dilemma you talk about, Stephanie, the dilemma is, should I continue the solidarity or get back to normal and buy my gas and not worry about what's going on in Ukraine? So I think there's a substantial risk that it'll reverse in terms of public opinion and governmental action in Europe. But whatever happens in Europe, it'll be much more in favor of solidarity than in the U.S. Because I think the U.S. has a dysfunctional government. Congress is dysfunctional, the Senate especially is dysfunctional. They don't care about this and understand that Ukraine is, as the foreign minister said yesterday, Ukraine doesn't mind, but Ukraine is fighting the war for all of us, for the West, for the liberal order. And it is extremely important to everybody on the planet. But I think in the U.S., we have a problem and come November, if the Republicans take over, as they will, they'll back out of the whole thing. And Europe will lose the support of the United States. And Biden will be hampered in his efforts to support the Ukrainians. It's not a good picture. Every time the Republicans undermine the president, that in turn undermines the solidarity in Europe. So let's see what happens, but I don't think you can make any guarantees on any of that. Yeah. So, Tim, can you give us a final comment on this topic? Sure. Yeah, this conversation has been great and it's brought up a lot of things in my mind. President Putin right now, believe it or not, enjoys an 80% support from the Russian people. What does this teach us? This teaches us the value and the effectiveness of what a propagandist can do. And we are not exempt from this. We had, Jay mentioned earlier, the Trump base, well, through his propaganda, the Trump base went from a 33% to a whopping 49, 50% at time of election in 2020. So it could happen to us. It has happened to us. And if we learn anything, it is the value of what a propagandist looks like, what kind of propaganda techniques they use and how to our guard ourselves in the future from would be propagandists, be it from Putin using our media, using our social media, or from our own politicians using propaganda to further conservative political agendas. And unfortunately right now, when you listen to Fox, I don't know if I'm listening to Russian state TV sometimes. And so propaganda is the thing to put our guard against and we must all be aware of it. Thank you, thank you. Well, we are out of time and this is Politics for the People, a weekly show.

What a wild start to college football. And literally I have a thousand questions, but let's start with the glaring one.  I wish I could just chalk it up to this conference being super deep and good teams just feeding up on good teams. But the SunBalt exposed them in week one. So it looks like it's just a bunch of bad teams feeding up on bad teams. So this week I picked two college football futures that are kind of correlated. But in a college football futures market, that's not necessarily the wrong way to play it. So the first future I'm looking at is the big granddaddy, the national championship. And I know everyone has Bama, Ohio State, or Clemson on their radar. But just like last week, I'm trying to find value. And that's what landed me on the Florida Gators. This Florida offense looks like the Florida offense of the late 2000s. Studs everywhere that just seemed to be faster than anyone else. Florida has an experienced QB and Kyle Trass. They have a stud type in and Kyle Pitts. They have two amazing running backs and Davis and Pierce, who are both averaging over five yards a carry. They have an experienced offensive line and they have a weapon like Tony who personally reminds me of Percy Harbin. Unless this team catches the injury bug, I don't see Florida's offense slowing down at all. Their biggest game this year is going to be against Georgia. And if they manage to win that game, we will most likely be seeing them in Atlanta facing Alabama for the SEC championship. If the Gators go in undefeated and lose to Bama, there's still a good chance that they could be in the college football playoff. If they go with one loss and play Bama and win, there's still a great chance they make it to the college football playoff. Value-wise, the Florida Gators are the best bet on the board. For my Florida national championship ticket to cash, it's most likely that Trass will be a Heisman finalist. So right now I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on Trass while I still feel like it has some value. I know it's early, but this Florida Gators team starting to remind me of my LSU team from last year. They're all clicking and it starts and ends with Trass. So while other people are going to be saying, give it to Trevor Lawrence, he deserves it, he's never gotten it, I think the voters are gonna vote like they did in the past and go with the best player this year. Trass is poised, he's confident. And just like my boy Burrow last year, he has a ton of weapons at his disposal. I can just see this Heisman price getting shorter and shorter for Trass and that's why I'm pulling the trigger on it now. Chomp, chomp. All right, y'all, that's all I have for this week. Let's make some money.


This program is brought to you by Cable Franchise V's and generous donations from viewers like you So as seeing the presence of a quorum, I'm calling to order this meeting of the regional school committee at 631 p.m. And we'll start with a roll call attendance Mr. Demling Mr. Harrington Here I'm come present Miss Kenny Kenny present Miss Lord Lord present Miss Seager Seager present Miss Spitzer Spitzer present Miss dancer dancer present Mcdonald present Sullivan absent or not present So before we get started we are being live streamed on the Amherst media website and in Amherst on channel 15 Thank you to Amherst media for helping us out with that as always Our first item is public comment and we have two voice messages that I'll play right now and then a little bit of Written content for those that are watching from home The written the email public comment is posted on on the regional school committee agendas web page For this evening's meeting. So if it's easier for you to follow along at home, that's you can go grab it there I'm Miss Jennifer Page, I live in Amherst, and I'm the parent of an ARPS 6th grader A lot has been said about the metrics that the district and the APEA jointly agreed to regarding in-person cooling It seems like no one was local about the metric being too low when the agreement was made It's only now that the threshold has been met that it feels like it's too low But I hope you will consider that maybe the fact that the threshold was met soon after beginning in-person schooling Does not mean that the threshold is too low And maybe it means that things are getting pretty bad faster than anyone thought Maybe the metric is not the problem, but the reality of the pandemic is the problem changing the metric will not fix the problem In addition, I would like to strongly urge the school committee to agree to open bargaining with APEA when it comes to renegotiating the agreement There are many reasons that open bargaining is a good idea when it comes to labor relations But speaking as an ARPS parent, one of the best ways to get families and community members on board with whatever Agreements or decisions you jointly make is to allow them access to understanding how you got there If you want to prevent what happens this time from happening again That is you find an agreement then get pressure from the public to renegotiate and please agree to open bargaining so that the public can be informed Thank you The school committee is called to potentially rethink the thresholds for putting kids to the school buildings and pulling them out And if that's true, I'm deeply disappointed. I agree with Dr. Peter Everett's idea shared in his life through the editor in Mondays He said that in addition to our current green light red light options We need a yellow light that affords amorous school leaders and help leaders some discretion and discernment and determine whether or not kids should be in school buildings Right now our agreement allows no flexibility and it packs the threshold at a rate that's simply too restrictive The most restrictive in Massachusetts as I understand it and not a lot of recommended guidelines from the state I thought for a second that this would expose my kids and making teachers undue threats I wouldn't support it but our nation has months into the time wanted to experiment with kids including my nieces and nephews In other states having been in school since early august I'm surprised but encouraged by the fund that's published in the New York Times the Atlantic NPR And I have a trustworthy outlet that elementary schools simply aren't super spreaders I don't blame either the union art school committee for putting us in this spot These were incredibly tough decisions to make at the time when the facts on the ground were changing daily But now that we've seen a practical impact compared with the experiences of other schools around the country I'm struggling to find a good reason that the union full of teachers who are working at least twice as hard as they would in any normal here It's not at least open to discussing a new option of well result and our young children being pulled into and out of school time after time Our window for the near term may already be practically closed with cases on the rise as I speak today Regardless we should use this time Planning for more flexibility and informed discretion in the winter months if our community can keep numbers at a manageable level And we should have with a cycle of small concepts furnishes in favor of focusing on the bigger picture Thanks for hearing me out. Thank you. Are folks able to see my uh my screen? Thank you Um, I will say that the um this first comment um was received before last week's meeting It was received on thursday and I neglected to include it in thursday's public comment So as mentioned that um that all of the written public comment is available on the arps.org website on the regional school committee agendas page We are now going to um move on to our next item. Um And I will make a motion to that we enter into executive session to discuss strategy with respect to collective bargaining with the APEA if an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the public public body And the chair so declares and I do declare with no intention of returning to open session Is there a second lord second? Move by mcdonald seconded by lord. We'll take a roll call vote mr. Demling Demling I Mr. Harrington Harrington can I miss kenny Kenny I Miss lord lord I Miss seager Seager I Miss spitzer Mr. I Miss stancer Stancer I Mr. Sullivan Sullivan a mcdonald I The motion passes eight to one So we will now adjourn to executive session

Hi, beautiful. What's going on? Today, we're watching some TikToks. I had someone on my team look up my name and find some videos that were addressed to me or have me involved in it in some way or another. And the best part about TikToks that have anything to do with me is that they either go extremely well, like they're coloring their hair and it comes out beautifully and they want me to see it, or the complete opposite where it comes out so horribly bad that I literally gasp. So I'm sure we're gonna see some of those today. Y'all be doing some **** to your hair. Let's see what we have in store for today. I'm sure we're gonna hear a lot of, I'm sorry, Brad Mondo. Oh God, every time I hear that audio it's just so annoying. It's a lot. It's like a lot of brads. Let's watch some TikToks. Let's do it. I guess we'll start at the top. This first video is by William Tyler. Of course, the caption is sorry, Brad Mondo. Please tag him so he can see his colors in action. Oh, so he's using X-Mondo. That's fun. Of course, the first video I click on is the one that is going to say, sorry, Brad Mondo, 500 times, I'm sure. Let's watch it. It's not okay. I'm pissed already. Sorry, Brad Mondo. Okay, so we're lightening his hair first. Just to start, he already has a bunch of colors going on. I'm so curious what they're about to do and what X-Mondo color they're gonna use and I'm really intrigued and really excited. Sorry, Brad Mondo. Again, it's not okay. He looks damn good as a blonde. I'm really into this look right now, whatever is going on in the screen right now. Sorry, I'm a little distracted. Let's get back to what we're watching. Sorry, Brad Mondo. Oh, that looks scary so far. He's hopefully not trying to go blonde and I actually know that he's not going to go blonde because I don't have a blonde color out right now. So if he's using my color, he's going some kind of bright color. So this is fine. My hair color will go over this. Sorry, Brad Mondo. Next step. Thank you for purchasing all those colors. That's very sweet. Sorry, Brad Mondo. I'm sorry, Brad Mondo. Oh, yeah, this is going to be sick. I'm sorry, Brad Mondo. Oh, I'm sorry, Brad. Oh, okay. So I haven't seen it yet. This is my first reaction to it, but sorry, Brad Mondo. Oh my God. So good. That is so bright. Actually, to be honest, whoa. Are you any more Brad Mondo? Thanks for the color. You're welcome. By the way, my friend did this, so all the credit to her. His hair looks so healthy, so bright. I know I've had rainbow hair recently and it's faded out now, but that's definitely made me want rainbow hair again. You did such a good job. Your friend did. Oh my God. 10 out of 10. That was an exciting video to start with. Besides the I'm sorry, Brad Mondo thing, I'm very intrigued right now. What else we have in store today? Okay, the next one, I saw this one literally today, but I'm gonna watch it again for you guys because it was awesome. This is by Irregular Thinking and this is called How Did I Do Brad Mondo? It says, I've been growing my hair for three years, but needed to change. Yo, she really just took those scissors out and just started chopping away and I was so happy for her. When I saw this video, I was like, yes. Get rid of that dead, I love a good Bob. I think she should take it even shorter though. And then she went orange on top of it. Just completely redid her whole look. Yo, that hair color is vibrant. I feel like it brings out her personality. I feel like the long pink hair was cute. It was a moment, but I just feel like the orange suits her more. Is it just me? I really enjoy what she did there. Besides the haircut, the haircut was definitely scary to watch because she had literally no sections going on. Her hair was dry and she just started cutting. Really, she got lucky, I guess. Probably in real life, it doesn't look as great with the haircut, you know?  But congratulations, that was a stunning transformation and I applaud you. And your question was, how did you do? I say you did fabulously. Next TikTok is by Lauren Page and this is called This Was a Journey Part Two. We'll have the reveal. Okay, app Rob Mondo. Let's see what she does. I decided I am over my blonde and I decided to switch it up and go silver. Okay, I'm over her blonde too. Like, I don't even know her, but I feel like she would look good in a lot of things and why not switch it up? You guys know me? I love a change, I say it all the time. So I feel like I'm gonna like this. I think she's purple. Okay, we're doing a permanent color moment. Not totally necessary. At least she's not putting in 30 volume developer for no reason. I'm doing, but I know you're supposed to section also. Brand Mondo to say that I am doing a fantastic job sectioning. You're doing a fantastic job sectioning. Yes, thank you. We're doing that. You sectioning queens. I see you baby girl. Hello, Brad Mondo. If you're watching this, we're currently mixing two colors because I ran out of the original color that I had and it's my hair misses if I may need you to help me. So really sorry, Brad Mondo. Oh no, that is the worst case scenario. Like running out of color in the middle of doing color is like just really not great. That's happened to me before. It's not fun. Nope, not at all. You need to like come up with a different formula that sort of goes with the last one and try to make it all work. And you know, it's like putting a puzzle together. And it's like, I don't want to put a puzzle together. If I want to put a puzzle together, I would buy a puzzle. So far it's looking really dark. I hope she doesn't turn out with something that she doesn't want. So my friend went back to Sally's to get another color that would be close to it. Okay, Dusty Violet was like a silvery gray, right? And she got a purplish color and this chrome color to kind of mix to make the same thing. And the people at Sally's were like, oh yeah, that's gonna look great.  This purple, I still feel like it's gonna look great. It doesn't look like a weird purple. It looks more like steel, like a steel purple rather than like a dusty purple. It looks pretty dark.  So another update. I don't need your help, Brad, Monda. Ah! She said, you're cut. I don't need your help, Brad, because I look hella good. Yes, you do. You did a great job. That looks amazing. Like what? Lauren, keep that color. That's stunning. For the most part, you did it pretty right. It looks quite even as well. So again, I applaud you. Up next. This video is by Emily Ward and it says, Lord help me. Hashtag, Brad Mondo. And already her hair looks destroyed. Putting some of this in my hair. Anyway. Oh my God. I fell asleep with bleach in my hair. No. For two hours. This is not okay. The tips of my hair are clear. This is not the first time I've heard somebody falling asleep with bleach in their hair. How are you guys falling asleep with bleach in your hair? Y'all must be mad tired. Get some rest, because that's concerning. I was, girl. Oh my.  Did you just say a trim? I don't think so. I think it needs to be like literally cut off. Like bye. It starts to literally stretch and then cut it there. So. The whole thing is stretching. This part right here, like wait for it. Oh, stop pulling on it. This is the finished product. We chopped it and it's like this lilac purple color. I think this was a blessing in disguise. I don't know if it was a blessing in disguise. I think you destroyed your hair. At least you could save some of it. At least it dried, honestly, because hair that damaged usually does not dry. I'm not happy about what I just saw. Let's not push it that far again. You really destroyed it. This TikTok is by machine gun Kayla. This is called my mental health is crashing, but at least I look cool. Impulsive decision time. Brad and Mondo, if you see this, just trust the process. Okay, I'm definitely gonna try and trust the process. I'm not easily very trusting, so this'll be hard for me. We got bleach going on, okay. And we have our hair. Brad, now the process is not trusting me for you. It's Brad and Frizzy. Yeah. At least this color is really dark. It's going to go over that yellow, I'm sure, which is probably gonna turn it into more of a turquoise, which thank God because that would have been so yellow if she tried to keep it blonde. I'm 100% sure there had been spotting all over the place and it would have been completely pure yellow. We're rinsing. Oh shoot. Whoa. I was not expecting it to look this good. Yes, yes, and yes. You look incredible. You should never not have that hair color. You own that color. I've never seen anybody look better. I don't even look that good in blue. I mean, the process looked a little risky and a little shaky, but you definitely got to the finished result. I would have liked the canvas to be a little more even next time. Maybe take your time. I didn't really see the process, but just make sure you're sectioning, you're taking your time. You're making sure everything processes at the same amount of time, making sure you're not rinsing off the lighter before it turns nice and bright and pale yellow. Otherwise, it's just not going to be cute. But great job. Oh, okay. This one I have seen, this is by Janine Nicole and get ready for this. This is crazy. I followed Brad Mondo's tutorial on how to cut your own hair. Okay. I'm happy we're straightening the hair. It would have been better to just wet it. You don't need to straighten it. You can just wet it. You don't need to add damage to everything. Okay, and now we are putting the elastics in seemingly incorrectly. I don't know.  That was a big thing when I made that video. You have to keep the ties behind you. Now she's chopping away. And I, again, am nervous for her, but I'm glad she's getting rid of all that damage. She's also cutting way below the elastics. Like, why did you cut this much below one elastic and then this much below the other elastic? Of course it's not going to turn out even.  See? See? Why do you think it turned out uneven? Do better. We're going to trim it up, and the back is still going to look crazy, but at least the front will look fine, I guess. And now we're bleaching the roots. Okay, we're using a little manic panic green. Ho! Lee! I forgot about how it looked when she was done. Every time I see this, I'm like, it's so bright. I love lime green or like neon green. Oh my God. It's like one of the most beautiful colors. But let's just talk about this before and after. She needed that. I could see her confidence boosted at the end. I could see her endorphins flowing at the end. This is exactly what she needed. I think the process she did was great. I think her hair looks healthy. The cut looks so much better. I like it short a lot, a lot better than before. Awesome job. I love to see it. I like to tick tock. Oh my God. The screen, what it's on right now is giving me a panic attack. Nothing scares me more than when people get brushes stuck on their hair. And nothing scares me more than when I get a brush stuck in somebody's hair. Like I've never done it to this extent. I've never like had to cut somebody's hair out. But I've had times where I'm blow-drying hair and I'm like the panic sets in. Like it's happened to every single hairdresser out there. I know it has.  You're like, oh my God. Because you don't want the client to panic. So you have to pretend it's not happening and like distract them somehow. But it's really hard to like distract while you're sweating, while you're panicking while you're trying to get a brush out of their hair. Oh my God. I've had clients where they're like super mean and obsessed with their hair and then I've gone and brushed stuck and I'm like. And I'm like, it's gonna be fine. Where do you get it out? They get stuck easily, okay? This TikTok is by, yes, Denil, Denil. Time to upload this horrible moment for 10 people to see. Brad Mondo, any thoughts? You have 600,000 likes. So I think more than 10 people saw it. Will you get any more? I can't, I get it. You need to hold the hand. Okay, let me keep holding it. How is she not crying? No. I guess we're just like really intense layers now. Don't worry, I already have layers, might as well keep it going. Girl, I think it's gonna be more than intense layers. I think it's gonna be a whole thing chopped on the top of your head.  Okay, also though, I'm kind of pissed because you guys could get this out. You gotta wet it down, pull like a deep conditioner in there, let it sit, let it loosen up those hair fibers and then you just start pulling strand by strand. Takes a little bit of time, but you could have gotten this out of your hair without cutting it.  I can't believe. I just had it cut it down here. You're just pulling us to this point. Dad, I can't believe this is happening to me. At least it's like the fringe part of her hair. Is she crying? No. Just take it out, the suspense is killing me. Are you ready? No. You're not even cutting my hair. I was. Okay, hi. I can't even just do what you must. Oh my God, it's so bad. Oh, my.   No! Thank God this girl has a sense of humor because anybody else would have been like crying. Mom doing it. I have a moment. Next time you guys you need to work on taking it out instead of cutting it out. It's never the answer.  That should be like the last, last resort. Thank God you don't care. That was tragic to see. It made me upset. It was scary. It's gonna be my nightmares tonight. This TikTok is by Hilary Alvarez and this is captioned. I always have fun with these. Just hi, here we go again. God, with real scissors. Ooh, love that. Ooh, curtain bangs. Yes. And she's following my tutorial. Oh, round of applause for Brad Mondo.  Ooh, a shag with some curtain bangs. That's my absolute favorite. Ooh, okay, section. She's doing good. I love the way she's cutting with the correct fingers and doing a very precise cut. It looks very nice. And I love her hair color already. Oh, this is the hard part. Can you do it right? Can you do it right? Overdirection can really trip people up. Ah, it looks perfect. I mean, you could have overdirected a little bit more so you get more of that, you know, sweeping moment. Ooh, we're taking the hair to the top of the head and chopping it off. And now we're giving layers around the face. Oh, I love it. Oh my God. And she's doing pink on one side and orange on the other. One of my favorite combinations of colors ever. I can't wait to see this haircut. Oh my God. Can we talk about how incredible you look? The haircut and the hair color combo. It's like, damn, you didn't have to do it that good. That looks sick. Absolutely. You did a 10 out of 10 on an amazing job. I'm happy you followed my tutorials and you did it very well. Amazing job. I wish everybody followed the tutorials as well. Sometimes it can get a little bit crazy. That was a journey. It had ups and it had downs, but some amazing hair transformations. And I'm so happy for you guys. Besides that girl that burned her hair off, I still feel bad for you. Are you okay? We know if you need anything. If you guys like to follow me or my hair care brands, these are our social handles. Also, you can check out X-Mondo Hair and X-Mondo Color, linked right down below. That is all for today, guys. Thank you so much for watching. Don't forget to live your extra life and I'll see you next time. Bye, guys.


We're now going to take a look at the topic of buoyancy, buoyancy within fluids, as well as we'll briefly take a look at stability with the buoyancy force. In the buoyancy force within a submerged object, what we'll do is we'll calculate that and we'll be using the hydrostatic relationship in order to determine what the buoyancy force is. So let's assume that we have a free surface shown like this and we have some object underneath that free surface. What we're now going to do, this is a three-dimensional object and we're going to break that object into a little differential parallel pipe bed. So that would be a differential element within this object and we know that we have a hydrostatic pressure at the top, P1 and one at the bottom, P2. What we will do is we will say the lower surface is at H2 and the upper surface is at H1. And so this is some arbitrary volume, we denote as V and we have an area here, DAH and we will also have an area on the bottom, DA and then the volume formed by this parallel pipe bed we will denote as being DV. And finally, the difference in height between the upper and the lower surface is H2 minus H1. So that's the scenario, we have this parallel pipe bed within a submerged body and what we're going to do now is we're going to go through and we're going to try to determine what is the net force on this little parallel pipe bed in a submerged body. So we'll begin that analysis. So we will refer to that differential force on the differential element as being DFB and the force acting on that body is just going to be due to the pressures, the lower pressure and the upper pressure multiplied by the areas. And this is where we can bring in our hydrostatic relationship and we can rewrite it in terms of depth instead of pressures. The fluid is consistent in this system so the density is the same and if you recall our hydrostatic relationship we have P2 minus P1 therefore we have H2 minus H1 and that is being multiplied by this differential area AH. If we look at our object we have H2 minus H1 times H that's essentially equal to the volume of that differential element. So this here is nothing more than just DV so we can rewrite this expression in the following way actually that would be minus DV because we have H2 minus H1 and H2 is lower so that this is further down than H1. So we end up with rho G times DV and if we integrate that we want to integrate that across that entire body so what we end up with for the buoyancy force is rho G times the volume of the displaced body and I'll put a little comment here H2 minus H1 is negative because H2 is more negative than H1 so if you're wondering how I did that sign change that was how it was done and that was using the hydrostatic equation. Now if the body is floating then the buoyancy force needs to be equal to it's equal to the volume displaced and that also needs to be equal to the weight of the object. So this would give the equilibrium for a floating body and we know that the buoyancy force is this but it also needs to be equal to the weight so that would be for the case of a floating body that's not moving up or down but it's just sitting in the water and with this we can write out a few rules so with that we can write out a couple of different rules one is a body immersed in a fluid experiences a vertical buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces which we can see from this expression here that's essentially what that is telling us the other one is that if there is a object floating in water the amount of water that it is displacing or floating in any liquid is equal to its own weight and and that's where you get the stability so if you have some object floating under here and it's not moving what happens is you have the weight but you also have the buoyancy force acting there and if those two are equal the object won't move the buoyancy force is equal to the volume displaced of the liquid and the weight is the weight of the object and that gives you the equilibrium and so those are a couple of the rules that we have for buoyancy and the last thing that we want to take a look at is relates to stability and in this diagram here I've drawn a very stable system that doesn't always occur and so a few words about stability it's important in terms of where the buoyancy force acts and where the center of gravity of the object is and so what I'm going to do is sketch a couple of scenarios so let's say we have an object like that and we will have the exact same object also tilted so you can imagine this perhaps as a ship haul or something like that and we have a liquid that it is sitting in now imagine the scenario where the gravity or the weight so the center of gravity of that object is there and let's say the buoyancy force is acting here that would be a case where you would have a moment acting in this direction and that would turn the object upright or upwards so that would be a stable situation versus if we had something like this again we have the weight so at the center of gravity we have mass times gravity but if it turns out that our buoyancy force was over here then the moment that we would get would look something like this and consequently that would continue to rotate the object that would be an unstable situation and consequently so the location with where the center of gravity is with respect to the center of buoyancy is very important for stability of an object that is floating and and that leads to either a stable configuration or an unstable one so obviously the desirable one for ships and things like that is to have stability so that it does not overturn when it has for example wind blowing from the side or something like that so that's a word on stability and buoyancy you can use them to calculate the forces and submerged objects


Michael Grady and Sarah Kustak who called this game to up in Boston and guys I think I've used the word confounding twice already, then that's up by 17 and I just I still can't process this after watching it, especially in the fourth quarter So you know the Celtics defense is legit now again best in the NBA and right now? The concern cruise is the fact that the Celtics confidence is growing They had a lead in game one squandered it the Nets had control led by three with under a minute to go and the Celtics a little Magic, they were able to steal that game go down 17 in this ball game chip away chip away Defense a big part of that and then when this ball game going away their confidence is growing That's something that the Nets are gonna have to try to find a way to snatch away in Brooklyn We're talking about tonight's game, but just to put in perspective this Boston team on January 6 Their record was below 500 January 26 to the end of the season They had the best record in the NBA the number one rated defense as we've talked about a lot But the number one rated offense This is an excellent team that has a lot of confidence that has been through Adversity throughout the course of the season so you better believe that they may look at a lead throughout a game and think We're gonna find a way to figure this out and problem solve That's exactly what they did and freaky eyes brought up an excellent point and talking about some of the areas in which they were able to get back The points off turnovers are a major factor And that was something that the Nets did a really good job of in the first half But in that second half they generated so much offense off of those turnovers And they just did a nice job of getting runouts And that's where they thrive when they're able to push the pace get some early offense and for Brooklyn You know you look at the other side of things and the shots just weren't falling So on a night when Kevin Durant despite the fact that he put up I lost my statue 27 points He has on the night which you would think that's a good number, but the efficiency wasn't there It was a tough shooting night for Kyrie Irving And so overall if that doesn't happen It was tough to close things out down the stretch in the fourth quarter the crowd was behind this team There was a lot of good energy and you could feel the confidence rise in this group because it wasn't about Jason Tatum Jalen Brown had an excellent night But it was a lot of the other complementary players for the Celtics that really made an impact They moved the basketball and did a great job on both ends of the floor and how they were able to finish it It is one thing if we're talking about spectacular defensive plays from the Celtics There are a lot of unforced errors which we talked about in the broadcast on the net side and Kevin Durant was a big part of that And I know going in folks felt like maybe the Nets have a little bit of a chance and Bruce Brown brought up the fact that Robert Williams is not manning the middle and we know how big of a shot blocker he is and how he affects shots at the rim But the Celtics are so strong with their perimeter defense that it takes work to even get to the middle So they haven't had an ample opportunity to take advantage of Daniel Tice or Al Horford at the rim because of how solid The mark is smarts the Jason Tatum the Jalen Brown and the Grant Williams have been in terms of defending on the perimeter And the physicality is something that seems to be weighing down on Kevin Durant We'll see whether or not this continues to be a story But we know he played a lot of minutes down the stretch of the season and then here in the first two games of this playoff series with The Celtics he has been pushed around a lot Yeah, and I'm curious to hear what he has to say in this post season or in this post game because we mentioned this throughout the Course of the broadcast it's the number of players that Boston can throw at him. So one is the double team It's the conference. It's the constant different looks of how those doubles when they're coming from the late help The third guy from behind the fact that they can zone from behind and be ready and show him bodies and show him traffic But you can toss Jason Tatum on him Brown Horford smart the list keeps going of Grant Williams coming in there is multiple fresh bodies to keep putting on him And so even when you're looking at switching scheme defensively and a second comment All of those players have the ability to stay in front and when you mention not puncturing the perimeter defense They have solid one-on-one defenders So even getting on the inside and so much of the Nets offense too can be predicated whether it's on isolation plays or on the mid-range looks and Boston shrinks the floor and does a good job of playing box and elbows and taking away a lot of those looks so some Of the cleaner shots that the Nets have often gotten They're not getting against this Boston defense what I will say though fourth quarter and the third quarter If you want to look at a silver lining you want to look at okay How are ways that the Brooklyn Nets can come back and Saturday they created some really good looks some of their passing the movement the Rotations their shots that you would anticipate Kyrie or Kevin Durant being able to knock down and make there was a Handful of others so I think there is areas that you obviously see that the Nets can exploit this Boston team But it's got to be a sustained effort and it's got to have the ability for this group to do it throughout the course of the 48 minutes no question about it Kevin Durant miss 15 shots in game one and Frankie I see miss 13 shots tonight Very on Kevin Durant like this evening and that's obviously going to be a huge storyline over the next couple of days And you guys were there I think another storyline is going to be how physical this game got at certain moments and Marcus smart seem to be involved in a Lot of those plays whether it was Bruce Brown You talked about the play with Nicholas Clarkson Then you had the collision with Marcus smart and Daniel ties Maybe Andre drumming kind of helped that along. I wonder how you guys think this will start to play out now as the series shifts to Brooklyn Well as it goes to Brooklyn I think the expectation on the net side of things is that some of these calls are going to even out You know that you mentioned the one call on Nick Clarkson when he was going at the rim and Marcus smart at the very violent swipe down Again, the officials should call things no matter what whether you're a TD guard and whether you're a Barclay Center both Ways, but there's a human element as well and perhaps that's a flagrant foul if it's called at Barclay Center Maybe some of the fouls that we've seen called in the Celtics still called for a lot of fouls in this ball game But perhaps that number goes up in Brooklyn and gives the Nets a little bit of relief in an opportunity to take advantage At the free throw line there should be an energy shift when it comes to physical play when the Nets get to Brooklyn Not just from the foul calls, but also how physical the Nets themselves need to play But what I will say is when the Nets jumped out to a quick early lead. It wasn't just about shop making It was about getting stops and it was about how physical they were on the defensive end getting into bodies getting into passing lanes How they were being active with their hands and causing deflections And so that is a part of them exceeding some of the physical play. This takes me back in and Frank I know you know this and you've seen this and we've all talked about this with it Miami the Miami Heat are a defense you often talk about that.  I mean when you look at Kevin Durant shot 20 free throws yet, they weren't getting into them every time that is a part of the game plan for Boston We're gonna bump them. We're gonna bump them off the ball We're gonna bump them when the refs aren't looking and so that is just continuing to potentially wear down and wear down on him But you see it across the board for bosses So I'm interested to see how the officiating factors into this one into your point at Barkley Center When it turns just how that looks with both of these sides and for the chippiness that we continue to see brew and we're not just We're not just talking about it We're keeping an eye on whether or not this changes things or whether the officials call things a little bit differently Or what things are gonna look like at Barkley Center, but we're not all just relying on the officials to change the course of the series This is on Steve Nash and the players themselves And so there could be differences in calls But what adjustments are gonna be made given the physicality that we've seen from the Boston Celtics in the first two games of these series The adjustments on the court to the physicality given guys opportunities in space and maybe knocking down shots that didn't go down tonight That will be the difference in turning the course of this series if they can handle the physicality better Make adjustments and take advantage of the mistakes the Celtics are making and rotations combinations I mean Gordon Drogage is a perfect example of someone who is strong with the ball Strong when he's handling it how he's making his moves making this play He was really important in this one But interested to see just the different looks and the combinations of the line-ups obviously He got different strengths when you go big you go small you got drumming out their klaxon We saw them closing out the game trying to get back in the lead of playing Kevin Durant at the five with other Three-point shooters out there so the nets were very small given the time and the score But just how you start to look at different adjustments You can make with the rotations and with the combinations of players that you have to try and come back to Celtics group You know the coast they say that sometimes roleplayers they don't necessarily travel You know Peyton Pritchard at some big shots late in this ballgame Grant Williams had a going maybe that's not the case and Barclay Center Meanwhile for the Nets their roleplayers a lot of these guys stepped up tonight Could the home crowd help Kyrie and Kevin on Saturday in game three? That's something will be interesting to see as the series shifts to Barclay Center guys All of the things you just talked about are going to be very interesting to see as this series continues to roll right along We have plenty more to do. Thank you guys, but sit tight We are just getting started here on the Brooklyn Nets post game show after they dropped


Maybe he sends it to them and they'll look that way. And that way when Captain Matthew comes back, he can read from what they saw. Oh, I can fold it. Yeah, it's a suggestion. Pose or is that? I don't know where. 5-4-6-5-6. Prepare to copy grid for enemy vehicles. 0-3-6-2-7-9-6-7-0-5. How copy? Over. I'm not sure where everybody's at. So as soon as you get all my trees and tree elements here, I'll be able to prop this over. Roger. Tracking all of their braking contact. You reached everything. Take a quick look around over here and make sure you got nobody else.


So, to recap from the last video. In the 19th century, various scientists found that elements absorbed and emitted light at certain characteristic wavelengths. Each element had a distinctive pattern of wavelengths that was like a fingerprint for that element. Just so that you're quite clear about how absorption and emission spectra are collected. For a continuous or a rainbow spectrum, white light is passed through a prism or something else that's able to separate out the wavelengths and show the spectrum. That gives you that rainbow picture, because every wavelength is present. In an absorption spectrum, a gaseous sample of the element that you want to study is put between the white light source and the prism. The atoms of the element absorb some particular wavelengths, so the spectrum that you get out at the other end looks like a rainbow with black lines where the missing wavelengths were. In an emission spectrum, you take the gaseous sample of the element and you give it some extra energy somehow, usually by heating it. And then the atoms begin to emit certain specific wavelengths of light all by themselves. So the spectrum looks mostly black, but with a few bright lines in it. And the key thing is that for a given element, the black lines in the absorption spectrum and the bright lines in the emission spectrum are at exactly the same wavelengths. As you can see by looking at the two spectra here. So this was known for a long time before Rutherford discovered the nucleus, and people started thinking in earnest about how the electrons must be arranged. Rutherford pictured the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets. But in his model, the electrons could be at any distance from the nucleus. However, in 1913, Niels Bohr came up with a new and improved picture in which he proposed that the electrons must exist in orbits that are fixed distances from the nucleus, and they can never exist in between these fixed orbits. They can only jump from one orbit to another. Now Bohr's model was entirely theoretical, and he could not explain why electrons would exist in fixed orbits, and we still can't really explain this. However, one of the beautiful aspects of this model was that suddenly there was an explanation for the atomic spectra that had been bugging people for so long. So Bohr said, the energy that an electron has is largely to do with how close it is to the nucleus. So it's lowest in energy when it is closest to the nucleus, because it's experiencing an attraction to the nucleus. To pull it further away from the attraction of the nucleus, energy must be put in. Now Bohr referred to his fixed orbits as energy levels. He said that if an electron is to move to an orbit, a level that's further away from the nucleus, it must absorb exactly the right amount of energy to do it. This exact amount of energy is known as a quantum of energy, a precisely known amount. The wrong amount of energy and the electron either wouldn't make it to the next level, or it would get stuck in the forbidden no man's land between levels, which couldn't happen, because it's forbidden. So where does the electron get the energy from, this precise amount of energy? Well, it absorbs a photon that has exactly the right wavelength to give it the exact quantum of energy that it needs to jump up a level. So what are the missing black lines in an absorption spectrum then? They are the photons that happen to have exactly the right wavelengths to make an electron jump up a level in that particular atom. Those photons were absorbed and so they never made it through to the detector, so they're missing from the spectrum. And what about electrons coming down a level that move closer to the nucleus? Well, if orbits that are closer to the nucleus are lower in energy, then the electron must lose energy as it comes down a level. And how does it rid itself of these energy? Well, it spits out, it emits a photon. And if the electron had to absorb a certain amount of energy to move up a level, then it will emit that exact same amount of energy when it moves down a level. So the photon spat out by the electron when it moves down is of exactly the same wavelength as the photon it absorbed when it moved up. This means that if you have some atoms and their electrons are in higher energy levels and are able to move down to lower energy levels, they will do so by emitting photons of certain wavelengths. So the emission spectrum of an atom contains only lines at wavelengths that correspond to the energy differences between the orbits. The inverse, in fact, of the absorption spectrum. Now, I'm perhaps making this sound as though the electron actually means to jump up a level and goes looking for the right photon to do it. Of course, it's not like that. If the electron happens to absorb a randomly passing photon that gives it the correct energy, then it may jump up a level. But it's also entirely possible that it may absorb a photon that doesn't give it the correct energy to move levels. If this happens, it simply emits the photon again, it's a useless photon, and the electron's position remains unchanged. So just to sum up, Bohr's model of fixed electron orbits around the nucleus finally produced an explanation for the lines in atomic spectra. Absorption spectra were produced when electrons absorbed energy in the form of photons and moved up one or more levels. And emission spectra were produced when electrons that were already in higher levels emitted their excess energy in the form of photons and moved down one or more levels.


Well, let's see the breakfast and plus CV Africa Let's check out the pages of a national deal is we call it off the press at this point We have G. Day Johnson who joins the conversation. G days. Good to have you join us this morning All right, then We take a look at the leadership newspapers been made available by a paper vendor and Looking at each use you have the boat caption talking about a thought-term ambition I can't dare Nigerians with a thought-term president. Mohammed the Buhari tells United Kingdom prime minister, of course And says the last person who tried it Did not end well Rules out another bill for canoe United Kingdom pledges military support against Boko Haram terrorism and that's it on the board caption for the leadership P and ID fraud caught that convicts and winds up the Nigerian limited Mark quotes Nigerian limited if I'm not mistaken senatorial race fall or not falls apc over submission of lawan akabius name And you have a quorum model wife remanded in united kingdom prison over alleged organ haveston And hijab lawyer appears in herbalist attire at a supreme court I mean all this will say he according to him is saying he's a traditionalist fuel's cursory Ipman decries Profit tearing at private depots and train attack. We are in hell over my husband's abduction Wife cries out a moteco arrest suspected mastermind of our attack and recovers weapons And the question of the legality of the actions of a moteco has also been questioned right here But that's the much we can take this morning on the leadership Let's go straight to the punch in newspaper with these headlines are the big one on the punch in newspaper grieve national assembly members plan showdown with governors over lost tickets a grieve national assembly members plan showdown with governors over lost tickets Uh, and the writers to that story senators who lost tickets to governors aides a plan for governorship uh, national assembly battles Senators who lost tickets to governors aides a plan for governorship national assembly battles Up your don't find me or cause aids triumph in ogone delta egeti An emotionless man lose out zanfa reps clinch pdp tickets after dumping apc accused ruling party of cheating More from the punch in newspaper marketers notify federal government on planned fuel price hike cues persist That details on page 19. I think the cues are suffering, you know from what I can see at least in legacy state Southern southern leaders didn't agree on zone to produce president okawa southern leaders didn't Agree on zone to produce president okawa wiki meets urubebe pdp senators wiki meets urubebe pdp senators. They should be uh, I think the third Of fourth of such meetings in the last five days wiki can be described as the bright of uh, Nigerian politics right now alleged organ trafficking Aquarium madu wife risk losing a risk long jail term alleged organ trafficking aquarium madu wife risk long jail term And we have a few more stories from that paper Poly lectures meet july 3 may resume strike poly lectures meet july 3 may resume strike I'll leave it at that for now with the headlines on the front page of the punch Well away from the punch We have the guardian newspaper this morning federal government otter gas plant stalls a meet costly diesel and poor planning That's broadly written on the guardian underneath you have several riders Failure for straights Conversation or conversion scheme from diesel to cng and petrol engines federal government explains progress despite low enrollment We can't afford five million naira truck conversion rate the n a rto says And ipman without petrol subsidy naira drinns would have been paying 900 naira per liter interesting You also have another caption a moteco arrest Suspect in a wartak recovers car and ammunitions and families of abuja kaduna train abductees says victim planning suicide United Kingdom confirms first vaccine derived polio virus in 38 years and uh Dramas lawyer peers in supreme court in traditional attire might just be dominating all of the papers again you find United Kingdom court denies a career madhu wife bail over child trafficking and organ haverson Why niger has one of its worst or one of the world's worst vaccination rates? These are the headlines on the guardian Let's uh, I'll bring this home with uh, uh, look at stories coming On the front page of the nation a big one there Detained a career madhu wife risk 10 year jail in uk detained a career madhu wife risk 10 year jail in uk it's uh, quite a bizarre one that i don't think they saw coming that would be Uh, uh quite quite quite a big splash Uh, the writer to that story coppola arrested at the airport in presence of higher commission officials Remanded till july 7 of relegations of organ harvesting others. So these are Commission officials of the niger and high commission in in london More from the nation police omoteco disagree over arrest of or attack suspects 70 000 ghost workers flushed out of civil service You can see a picture there. I think this should be the head of service or your house to set to determine deputy governor's fate a bit of uh, infighting or rumors of A bit of defections there rumors of defection Mtn mafab get august 24 deadline to roll out 5g. These are is referring to those who got a license For 5g roll out in the country defections why senators reps may lose Seats, uh, there should be the picture there of inaya and bari b and of course, uh, abdullahi Who have defected? I will live without that and we move straight to our guest who is standing by um, and of course, uh, he is Gd johnson. We're glad to have you gd johnson and um, let's start with a big one Coming on the front page of the nation at the punch newspaper. Sorry about that Talking about a grieve national assembly members planning showdown with your governors over the lost ticket Some, you know suspected that the national assembly members reason behind some of the The clauses they included in the initial Electrical act that the president refused to sign Was so that they could be protected from the influence and power of a governor's and thereby having a better chance of returning Back to the national assembly. What do you make of this current situation with the benefit of hindsight? Well, they showed themselves To the electoral act of 2022 and in the process they were looking for the discoverer to be To introduce an amendment which was not him eventually sent to by the president It's a cycle that we have witnessed and we continue to see because the power blocks in the political parties had come So every electoral cycle Ashtray from the members losing out to the governor Has been a cycle that has characterized the point. Hopefully we have a sensible and a The same quality whereby The people themselves will select or elect to represent them and develop them I think the election should be interested in in the election to international assembly We are Government programs are debated Are ready for the Go about it. So But all we have seen He the national assembly become the retirement To be a compensatory The board for for for lower x and that's right So All right, Gita Johnson, let's take a quick look at the leadership newspaper this morning on the leadership newspaper Top right. He talks about the senatorial race and how fallow falls apc over the submission of La one and a Fabio's name for the race I mean Do you agree with him according to him? He said is it's actually he described that as an impunity of the apc to submit their names For the senatorial race, especially when they didn't contest for that election That's right. We have the laws and that's why we have an institution The only one decision we do with that He lost the ability to contest in Zamfara State in 2019 It almost ran into trouble in rivers. They did lost The opportunity to present the candidate across the board. So It's very clear even within happy He spent them Electoral at 10 the hundred and twenty The only 22 electoral office is busy to dress them We need to be called means how how La one I meant la one participated in the The U.N. North senatorial election and how about the participate In the acquire bond not rest senatorial district election Is is the degree of That has characterized the policy if people do not have respect for the constitution of their party When they get to vote then they will not have to expect for the constitution of Nigeria We have said it over and over and over again. How can somebody run for two offices? At the same time in the same electoral cycle So is the person playing lot three? Is he playing lot three? So All right, thank you very much I agree Interesting one Interesting one. Thank you very much Jiri Johnson, let's move on To to more issues the field queues are still here with us in legal state And you need other parts of the country though. It seems to be Reducing a little bit from what I observed this morning, but the leadership newspaper tells us I dedicate some space to this particular Story fuel scarcity Ipman decries profiteering at private depots Um Whilst we may not have an Ipman of you may not be a member of Ipman But I'm sure you can appreciate and are very very aware of the happenings in the sector So what are your thoughts on this because we have not even fully recovered a handled or dealt with the dirty fuel Saga and when we have this fuel scarcity Ipman decries profiteering at a private depots You see as long as you have this system in place, this color All relying on foreign imports and got my go To be in subsidy on petroleum products physical equipment On on premium motorsport, which is petrol We are what we are The best solution to this problem is for government. They simply are not going to succeed in the next two years and we're going to have to go through this pain However, I don't invest this month in Building the refineries across After that Three four five years of you paying my price you start paying But you know what people are benefiting from the Unable to call up system Who is paying with each subsidy president himself Before the president said that if anyone says it's being subsidy So you what you begin to on that now How do we even you look at what they say we consume And Let's quickly show your thoughts on this one. I mean we talked about it The lawyer that appeared in supreme court and his traditional attire What are your thoughts? I mean, well, what do you think about this in it in all of this? He seemed to be protesting the Judgment of the supreme court that's in favor of muslim students who can wear the hijab in legos Well, when you know when Identity into your job You create this type of problem when the supreme court made that How to that you recall this was This And I said it that look We are traditionalist we have we have traditionalism region is not limited to important The People Can move And to Imagine people going to to to courts with their shackles to then going to school with their shackles, you know, what the punch But kind of dressing in What's the essence of uniform in school? What's the essence of It's just that you don't distinguish one from another you don't distinguish them on the base of religion For example, if I'm a muslim, it's easy for me to identify muslim today in my class because they're having a job And I can develop a favoritism to them or if I'm a christian It is once for me to distinguish the muslim from the christian and show favoritism to them and even as a job I'm sitting in God and the God cast this before me And as somebody is putting on a job and someone is not putting on a job So someone is dressing in a traditional religion or what have you is easier for me to lead your personal personal biases to give me to play That's why you have to put on where The same thing people that you can't distinguish on the basis of religion You can't distinguish on the basis of race you can't distinguish on the basis of whatever form of identity you want to use to distinguish people And that's the one that Supreme Court has created and let's continue with you All right, uh, uh, we have a the front page A story on the on the punch newspaper Pay attention to the education sector Poly lecturers meet July 3 may resume strike polytechnic lecturers that is meet July 3 May resume strike and talking about meetings It was a on on On Wednesday after the federal executive council meeting Minister of labor and employment doctor senator doctor Chris singigie addressed the press and told the press that um Asu had been meeting with the federal government they've been meeting with asu and in fact they have a meeting on Thursday And I'm sure you you're well aware of of this development really and uh Asu later replied saying that they were they have no official limitation But the federal government to any meeting will serve on Thursday This coming after education minister damor damo said asu will soon end the strike They make an announcement at the end of the month and as he said hey We have no clear announcement. Why he's speaking for us Chris singigie also made a point at that Uh, fake news briefing or press briefing seen that he has to meet with asu They're going to attend to them that after they give us their money They know he knows that the polytechnic lecturers will come after they're done with the polytechnic lecturers He knows that the doctors will come after they're done with the doctors He knows that the nurses will come and so on and so forth What do you say about the state of education in Nigeria? Especially coming three days this news coming three days after president buahari congratulated Afa, but babalala University and its chancellor for emerging the 400th best university in the world And number one in Nigeria Let's look at them the minister It's better time to talk to Governor, senator, minister Chris singigie just took out The various conferences in this photo public This people are far away from reality They are far far away from reality Clearly we need to have education It's a continent that we have found ourselves in education where we have found ourselves Where people are less concerned with what happened How can you not be concerned? Whereby the minister lecturers will go on strike Doctors will go on strike Internet lecturers will go on strike And someone will see the writing himself as a minister Will be proud to call himself the minister It's his own fortune he's of in another climate he will have resigned That's what I said The failure in Nigeria will be worth failure And we reinforce ineptitude That's just the problem because based on the performance of some of the ministers in their first That in the first time of value administration We are sure that value will not nominate them again If we miss that in the second term But we have the continuity and perpetuity of incompetence at the various level And Nigerian children are paying for it They are destroying the future Look, there's nothing that can redeem the time these kids and these students have lost over time Why did Afro-Malibu people not get ranked on the world and first in Nigeria? Because they don't go on strike They employ people on the basis of competence and merit The people in Afro-Malibu don't go and carry placards or appear on TV programs to do that The VC of Afro-Malibu must come from Afro-Malibu Like the nonsense they had in the University of Efe Where people from Efe were protected I think they are quite proud of it Not if they're in the gene to be the VC of the University of Efe It's not the way our policy has been in the educational sector In the social sector Which sector is actually working in Nigeria? In the power sector All right, quickly let's look at this Feels like we've been avoiding it On the leadership newspaper I can't dare Nigerians with a thought term President Mohammed the Buhari tells the United Kingdom Prime Minister Why should we be talking about the I mean the known already It's very obvious that you know the president should not It's a democratic process We're thinking about the thought term But it feels like we keep talking about what we know already If there's no smoke without fire Because I can't dare That's what the president I can't do No, I won't I'm just analyzing the statement Then in the first instance Why would you entertain Why would you make such a statement If you have not entertained the thought It's only a mad man that talks without thinking Thinking in his eavesdropping Whatever comes out of your mouth in terms of speech Is the product of your thought Are there people thinking about thought term For being in Nigeria That should be a red flag for you to be much more concerned And then look at the second part of the statement The president tried it but it did not end well So if there are positives from the last person that tried it Probably would have tried it now There are some certain things that you don't even entertain Is even if you can see that whoever is thinking of blackness Just the figment of that person's imagination That has never been the grant of an administration of one And there should have been a statement from the presidency With respect to this So Messi You're expressing your thoughts People that are thinking of thought term For the president I don't understand that Nigeria is a consular democracy And it constructs democracy in a step up And the term of this president may end May 29, 2023 And the process to Rebuild this president democratically Are started with the party's families adopted Thank you Jiri Johnson We have to go Thank you very much Thank you for your time Have a fantastic weekend Then we can't wait to have you join us again Next week Thank you so much Well that's the size of our conversation Thank you so much for being part of the press We will return on Monday This is the last quarter week And we take a break now When we return it will be time for us to head straight To our first major conversation right here Where we look at the case with Ike Iquira Maduro And his wife stay with us


the distance. Yes, sir. Stay focused. Watch your sectors. There's the communications outpost. We're in a distress beacon. Could be the missing troopers. Let's check it out. Count on the plug. It's in the sky. So, let's go, Six. All right, noble team, spread out. Watch the approach. Structure 0.34. Looks clear from this angle. Distress beacons coming from just south of your commander. We're close. Roger that. Eyes peeled. Found the beacon. Make out any ID. Negative, but it's military. Why are we not seeing explosives residue? Can you confirm any EX residue in the area? Negative, sir. Plasma, maybe. There's a lot of blood on the ground. All right, noble. Looks like there's nothing here. Let's move on. Smoke at the next structure, boss. Circle west and check it out. Noble team, you have permission to engage, but be selective. We don't need a telegraph of presence. Noble Six, move into the house. Either I'm seeing heat sakes in the structure ahead. Move! On your knees, now! They're not rebels. They're farmers. Look at them. Ask them what they're doing here. Hiding, sir. Taking up idea. Assumption of Asia, childhood. Mabers were attacked last night. He heard screams. Gunfire. Stomped around sunrise. Says something in the field. Killed his son. Something. Commander, be advised. I'm reading heat signatures in that structure directly east of your position. Over. Copy that. Get them back inside. Osmontum, definitely. Getting? Noble team, double time it. Military casualties. Two of the missing troopers. Looks like they were interrogated. It's messy. You see anything? Negative. They're almost clean. Just structure. Noble two, move up to the west. Contact, contact! There we go. They're charging our position. They're headed into the basement. Move down to the lower level.
