Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. We are doing another BAM box. That's right. It says it right here. BAM box. If people remember or if you didn't see it, you should go back and check it out. My February box was a good box for what the boxes should be, but for me personally it wasn't a good box because there wasn't a ton of stuff that I personally liked. So all things considered, it was good. I think this is more for me than last month, which maybe it will be. The theme is indestructible. So there are a lot of good things that could happen with indestructible. I'm thinking maybe the Incredible Hulk, a Brick, maybe, no, I'm kidding. But at any rate, interested to get into this and hopefully it's really awesome. Like I usually say, really looking for an awesome pin and an awesome art print because that's the main reason I get this box. Good signed items are always a big plus, but I know they have to hit a lot of different themes and everything. So not a ton of the themes are really going to match up with the types of signatures, autographs that I really want. So I don't expect too much, but pin and art print please good ones. We'll find out. Speaking of indestructible, this seems like probably pretty indestructible. Maybe. I don't know. Open it up. Always cut away from yourselves, children and adults and middle-aged people do that too. All right. Oh, there is tissue paper on top. Thank you so much for the tissue paper. My cat is going to love it. She always does. She loves tissue paper. I might even hear her start playing it in it before this video is over, but we'll find out. There's something odd on the top. So I guess I'll grab that first. Seems like a book or something. Build your, build and color your own shield. It's like, oh, this is like little pieces of wood that you can use to build your own Captain America shield, which the Captain America shield is indestructible. So obviously keeping with the theme. I'm going to go ahead and show you that. There's not too much glare on there. That's good. Yeah. So, and then on the back, it kind of shows what it should look like. I assume you have to paint it, which I probably won't do. I probably won't even really assemble this thing. I'll probably give it to someone who's way more into Captain America than I am. When it comes to superheroes, I'm not so much into Captain America. I'm more on the side of Iron Man. I like the Black Panther a lot, like X-Men, you know, that type of stuff.  But anyway, decent item for people. I could see some people being really psyched about that. I'm not super psyched about it, but I understand that it's a good idea, good idea. All right, next. The pins. I feel the pin, but I want to like leave the pin. No, actually maybe not because then it's just like, it feels like all flat stuff, which I'm totally cool with. Maybe like an extra print. Let's just do the pin now. That's fine. Mmm, Superman. Also not into Superman. Superman to me is like, I'm sorry, but the most boring superhero. I know he was the original. I know he was real important, all this and that. But he's boring, he's so boring nowadays. Also, from what I understand, because I haven't even seen the movies, from what I hear, the most recent movies with him have been total garbage. So, just not interested. But, I mean, as usual, they always do a really good job with the pins.  Like that's the look. Which is a decent look. It's just, it's Superman. I'm like Superman. This is another one, just like last month. Last month I got the Furby pin. And I was just like, mmm, sorry if that's a spoiler. People didn't watch it, but it wasn't huge on that. I understand that. Also, people could be cool with that. You know, I don't know if the style is like the best. It makes them look super boxy and almost like a robot, which is a little weird. But, man, some people like it. Not my thing. Oh, there's a certificate of authenticity. Oh, it's gonna be a comic book. This is what it feels like. Ooh, okay. I'm down with this. I'm definitely down with this. Because I'm a horror fan and I like all things horror-esque. And this definitely is, this is a signed, excuse me, a signed comic of Vampirella. Yeah. Vampirella. I have not read any Vampirella, but it's in the horror realm and I always appreciate getting horror-related stuff. So I'm very excited to be able to crack this open. And the fact that it's signed is very cool. Obviously, you can see, as they typically do, the certificate of authenticity on the back. Very good. Does it say, signed by Anthony Marquez. And Anthony Marquez, yeah, it looks like did the artwork on the front. Cool. Yep. I'm down with that. Actually, I just started recently getting into actually reading comics just so people know. I don't do physical comics because I don't want to get too much, you know, just keep getting them and getting them and getting them. So I'm doing digital. I'm doing it through comicsology. You can do like five, it's like six bucks, five 99 a month for unlimited. But the unlimited for each series only goes up to like five or six of the issues. So I'm just basically using that to scout out if, you know, there's anything that I really like. Thus far, Revival and Nailbiter are the two real strong ones. Also, Outcast is quite interesting. And anything else at the moment? No, I think those are the best ones at the moment. I can update you on more in other videos. All right. Next thing I think is an art print. Oh my God. This is like totally ridiculous, but also pretty awesome because it's so ridiculous. So the newest Wolverine movie just came out Logan. And obviously it has Wolverine in it. Old man Logan. I'm sorry if you can hear my cat yelling in the background because she's upset. She's not getting any attention. Plus she's probably jealous with this. But anyway, Wolverine's in low in Logan as is X 23, which is kind of like a younger girl version of Wolverine. And so they've captured the magic of Wolverine and X 23 with cats. And that's why it's very appropriate that my cat was yelling because that's her cry. There you go. I assume this is like, these are the outfits they had on. And it's obviously signed. It's always signed. I'm sorry for all the light, the glare, but you get the point. Even like these, like the two blades. That's funny. I like that. I appreciate that a lot because it's ridiculous and it's cool. That's mainly cool because it's ridiculous. So anyway, this was number 1109 out of 4000. They did a lot of these. So just goes to show Bambox is getting more popular. I think there's one more thing in here. Yeah. Oh, this would be the autograph thing. And it is. I mean, once again, not a big thing for me personally, but it's a good item for some people. Definitely a good item for some people. So it's a signed glossy from the bionic woman, the original Lindsay Wagner who played the bionic woman in the 70s TV show, which is awesome. There you go. That's her. There's your signature. Very cool. That's a great idea. Very, very cool. I love it. I mean, I don't personally like it's not a big thing for me, but I love the fact that they put it in there because I could see a lot of people loving that and it's variety. You know, it's interesting to see what signatures they're going to have each time. So done with the box. Like I said, indestructible as I cover it up. Indestructible. Cool artwork on that. Let's go through, see what the other stuff was. Okay. So there was a limited edition of... I don't even know what that one was supposed to be. Chuck Norris. Okay. So there were two limited edition pins. And they were two different types of a Chuck Norris one. And then there was also an incredible Hulk one, which was not a limited, as you can see. They have the color Chuck Norris and they have the black and white Chuck Norris. Here's the thing. With the variant pins, as is the case most of the time, I wouldn't want the one that's like one color or like two colors. I feel like the regular color ones are better. But you know, so out of those, I probably would have rather just had like the regular Chuck Norris one. So then we had the Vampirella. You know, we're talking about issue number one. And all of those are signed. We have the Bionic Woman signed by the legendary, they say legendary Lindsay Wagner, which is a good idea. You can see they're right up on Vampirella for some reason. There's rats there. And then they're a little right up about the Bionic Woman. You could have gotten one of two pictures of her, which actually I think this one's kind of... Well, they're both kind of cool for different reasons. This one's cooler because it's more up close on her and she's like lifting something way up. But this is cool because it's black and white and it's more like classic looking. So both of them are good. Old Cat Logan prints by... These are by Jenny Parks. And those are signed, obviously. And there was a special variant that was limited to 500. I did not get the variant one that had... Eh, there's not a big difference between the regular and the special limited variant, as you can see. So the regular one was this one that I got and then the variant just had the X-Men logo on the back. Like, it's the only difference. Which I mean, I guess that's slightly cooler because of the X-Men aspect. And it actually kind of calls it out to say more clearly this is what this is in reference to. But it's not a huge deal. Okay, and then the two... Wooden Things. There are two options for the Wooden Things. You saw I got the Captain America Civil War Shield. You also could have ended up with the Assassin's Creed Hidden Blade, which looks really interesting. That would have been a more interesting one to have. But either way, I probably would not build either of them just because I don't feel like doing it. So, yeah. So that's that. The next one I'm going to go over for the next time is Revenge Bad Blood for April. Sorry, I forgot one month we're in. This is March. So for April, it's Revenge Bad Blood and there will feature items from X-Men. The Toxic Avenger and the Punisher. Sounds good to me. That sounds like a good one. And they already kind of gave a teaser of something signature or autograph-wise that's going to be in there for next month and I won't say anything about that on here. But it sounds like it could be really cool. Let's hope. So anyway, what did I like overall? Once again, good idea. I'm not huge on it. Maybe I can find a home for that. I really like this because it's really funny and it's just cool and funny. I don't know. I like that. Not huge on the pin. The pins are always really well made, and Superman is boring. Sorry. The Vampirella comic, if I'm going to get a comic, I'm happy that it's kind of horror related. So that's cool. I'm excited to check that out. And then the Wooden Captain America Shield. I understand people would think it's cool, but I'm not going to build it. Once again, I'll try and find someone who's more interested. Maybe my buddy Rich, because he loves this kind of stuff. Yeah, so I'll give it to him. Okay, thank you everyone for checking this out. Tune in for any more unboxings. I also do beer reviews on the channel if you're into craft beer. I know a lot more about that than I do these unboxing things. So I'm just saying. I've been doing that for four years with my podcast, but this I'm relatively new to. So excuse me if I screw some things up, or I don't know what I'm talking about.  Anyway, thanks for checking this out. Please, if you could, give me a subscribe. It doesn't hurt you to do that. It helps me to do that. Give me likes, same thing, helps me, doesn't hurt you. And comments, because it's fun to talk to you guys. It's fun, and I'll always respond. So don't you worry about that. I'll give you the attention you need and deserve. I will coddle you. I will bring you in close like a kitten Logan and a kitten X-23 with comments though. Just saying. Anyway, thanks everyone for checking this out. And until next time, keep it brutal.


When the narcissist regrets leaving you when the narcissist was with you They didn't spend much time with you. They didn't appreciate anything you did for them They didn't listen to you or share your feelings They took you for granted They acted as though anyone would be willing to do the same if not more for them They acted as though you were an inconvenience to them As though you couldn't do anything right as though everything you did wasn't good enough They were very ungrateful They were very unappreciative and yet they had this delusional sense of what they were providing to you They had an exaggerated sense of their own abilities and importance They believed that they were doing so much for you when they were the ones that were the inconvenience for you You could have been doing so much better without them You would have been so much happier You could have achieved so much more and deep down they know this But it's not something that they want to reflect on They would rather live in their fantasy world where they are perfect and You are the one who wasn't good enough for them Although deep down they know that you are doing so much more than what they deserved They know that there wasn't an equal exchange You were investing so much of your time energy and money into them and not even getting a fraction of that back in return You were losing out You were being deprived of an opportunity You were unable to take advantage of and benefit from your own capabilities and potential Because the narcissist was holding you back They were preventing you from achieving your best You can only be as great as the people you surround yourself with If you've got people in your life who are constantly weighing you down You're not going to get very far But the narcissist was so delusional and arrogant That they actually believed that they could do better without you because they had tricked themselves into believing that they were greater than you Even though they weren't bringing anything to the table They had to do this because otherwise we're forced to reflect on how they were not good enough and that is something no Narcissist is going to entertain for a long period of time if things are not going right in their lives It has to be something to do with you You must not be doing enough for them They can never question their own abilities Because in their minds they have to think that they're perfect It's a coping and defense mechanism for how worthless and insignificant they really feel inside And those are the feelings that they project onto you They try to make you feel that way They invest so much of their time and energy into this distorted way of thinking that they actually start to believe in themselves They actually start to believe that maybe they are better without you The narcissist eventually brainwashes themselves Into believing that you are beneath them As a coping and defense mechanism For how they really feel about themselves and not only that But they will brainwash themselves into believing that anyone could be better than you Which is how they are able to discard you without a second thought And start something new with the first person they see Because they really believe at this point anyone is better than you They had to see you in this way to protect themselves from how they really feel about themselves But this is where the narcissist gets into trouble Because this distorted mindset has led them to be careless and thoughtless of the consequences of their actions Which is why in this phase of recklessness, they will often downgrade They will end up with someone who is far beneath you Someone who is less attractive less successful less intelligent But they're still thinking that they found someone better They're not thinking rationally Because they're still operated from the fantasy world inside their minds At first they really think they're doing so much better without you. They think you're missing out They think you must be miserable without them Because they have an exaggerated sense of their own abilities and importance They think they're so much greater than what they actually are and as the love-bombing phase continues with a new source They think everything's great They think they made the right choice Once the honeymoon phase wears off of the new source The narcissist begins to realize what a terrible mistake they have made They start to see all the flaws and imperfections of the new source They start to realize that they're not as great as they thought they were They're human just like you and they begin to reflect on the times that they shared with you They begin to remember how much easier life was with you How much free time you had to spend with them How much extra cash you had for them to spend Because these are the things that the narcissist will miss Your time and attention Your money That's all that really matters to the narcissist And when they move on to a new source It's often with someone who doesn't have as much free time as you do Maybe they're working all day every day Maybe they don't have enough spare cash To fund that extravagant lifestyle now instead of eating out at a fine diner restaurant They're eating food from a can instead of going to Gucci or Prada They're buying new clothes off eBay These are the kinds of things that the narcissist is going to miss This is what is going to make them regret leaving you Because after all It's all about what you can do for them It's all about how you can make their lives easier These narcissists don't want to do anything for themselves They expect you to provide everything to them And when they end up with someone who doesn't have the means to do anything for them That is when they really begin to regret leaving you It's a cold world out there You can't always have what you want whenever you want it Life isn't as easy as they may have thought While they were with you But it's not until a few weeks or months after they leave you Until they begin to realize that and by that time it's too late By that time you will have moved on You will have realized what you were dealing with And they won't be able to come back You will have seen them with a new source And recognize why it never worked out with you Because what you're seeing now That's the type of person they belong with Someone of like kind They go looking for people who are greater than them But that's not where they belong They don't know how to play their part They don't know how to function around a person of a higher caliber All they did was try to bring you down to their level Because they were envious and jealous They felt inferior to you And rather than trying to learn from you And what it took for you to get to where you are today They try to tear you down You may not see it right now But the biggest favor the narcissist ever did for you Is discarding you Because all they ever did was place limitations and restrictions on you All they ever did was hold you back from living your life And now they're gone You finally have time to think for yourself You finally have time to breathe And no matter what they may have taken from you You can always rebuild Which is something that they cannot do Because they don't have the tools to build anything on their own And they often end up with people of a similar nature People who don't know what they're doing Or where they're going People who are constantly looking to other people for direction You never needed them They needed you And that is why they will soon regret leaving you Thank you for watching I hope this video resued with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe Click the bell icon to receive notifications of my future videos Check out the new Narc Survival website At www.narcsurvival.co.uk Where you can read my blog posts, upload coaching sessions and join support for them If you would like to donate My PayPal link is in the video description Coaching inquiries You can email me at coaching.narcsurvival.co.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


So are we going to be using github co-pilot or are you going to be generating the code? I'll be providing the code directly without using github co-pilot. Here's a more detailed version of the JavaScript code for your application, integrating the functionality of playing quads based on the number of extended fingers detected by media pipe.


Today we are going to see the programs using function call by value, learning outcome at the end of this session, students will be able to write a C program using function call by value. Before seeing the videos, students must watch the following videos on the functions. So here I will specify the links of every video. Now today in this session we will see a program to find the sum of the series 1 factorial divide by 1 plus 2 factorial divide by 2 plus 3 factorial divide by 3 plus 4 factorial divide by 4 plus 5 factorial divide by 5 using the function. First of all we see the concept. So here the series is 1 factorial divide by 1 plus 2 factorial divide by 2 plus 3 factorial divide by 3 plus 4 factorial divide by 4 plus 5 factorial divide by 5. So this is our series. So we know that 1 factorial is 1.   So after this we add this all these numbers. So here the sum of the series is 34. So we see this program on the code block. First we create the new project, file new project, here we give click on the console application, then click on the C language, then give the name to the project, click on the next button and then click on the finish. You can say that in the left hand side it creates the project and the name of this project is sum of series, here the main .c file is created. Here first of all we write the function declaration. So where we declare one function factorial for calculating the factorial. So here the written type of this factorial function is integer, the name of the function is fact and it takes one parameter of type integer. So here I will specify int and end with the semicolon. This is your, this is our function declaration. Here in the main function we declare the variable. So here we declare one variable sum for storing the sum. So here first of all we call the function sum equal to, because here the function fact is written in the value. So that is why the value is stored in the variable sum. So here we call the function fact of 1. So first we calculate the factorial of 1. It is divided by the 1 plus here we know that in the given problem segment, in the given problem segment we require the sum. So that is why here we add the plus symbol. Similarly we again call the function for the 2. It is divided by the again 2 plus fact of 3. Again we call the function factorial for calculating the factorial of 3. Again whatever the answer is there that is divided by the 3 plus factorial of 4. We call the function again it is divided by the 4 plus again we call the function for calculating the factorial of 5. Again it is divided by the 5 and it is end with the semicolon. After that we display the message on the screen. Print F the series our series is 1 factorial divided by 1 plus 2 factorial divided by 2 plus 3 factorial divided by 3 plus 4 factorial divided by 4 plus 5 factorial divided by 3 divided by 5. So we first of all showing the message on the screen and end with the semicolon and after that we display the message on the screen. Print F the sum of series is we use the format pacifier parsendi because sum is of type integer and we end with the semicolon. This is our main function after this we write down our function definition for the calculating the factorial. Here we write down the written type integer name of the function is factor fact here it takes one parameter of type integer ok the name of the variable is n ok here we write down the function body here we take the one variable num and we initially assign the value 0 to the num and for storing the factorial we use the F variable and it is initialized to the one value. Here we use the while loop here in the while loop we specify the condition the given number num is less than or equal to n minus 1 the loop will be iterating after that here we calculate the factorial and we add it. So here we added the number so whatever the number is there at a store in the F value so we are put F equal to F plus F into num value of the num and end with the semicolon and after that we increment the num value by 1 every time this we written the value that is storing in the F. So here we use the written function written for written the value it is stored in the F and that value is written to the function that value is written to the main function and that value is stored in the sum. So first of all we see the execution of this loop or this function so here initial the value of n is 1 so 1 and here the num is initialized to 0. So 0 is less than equal to here our value is n is nothing but 1 so 1 minus 1 means 0 is less than equal to 0 condition becomes true the control go inside the while loop. So here we initialize the F to the 1 so 1 plus 1 into num so 1 into num the value stored in the num variable is 0 so after multiplication the value becomes 0 0 plus 1 the value stored in the F is 1 after that we increment the num value num becomes 1. So here 1 is less than equal to 0 condition becomes false control come out of the loop and return the value of F to the calling function so it returns the value 1 to the this function.    Similarly we call for the fact of 3. So when the function is called fact of 3 the control is come here similarly we call for the fact of 3.  Similarly we call for the fact of 4 and fact of 5 after we compile this file it shows 0 in a 0 1 is then we run the program the sum of the series is 34. Now after seeing this concept can you implement the code for displaying the sum of the following series pause the video and think about it here in this is we calculate the sum of 1 divided by 1 factorial plus 4 divided by 2 factorial plus 27 divided by 3 factorial this program we write the code here we calculate the factorial so here we may specify the fact function it takes the one parameter of type integer here we calculate here we declare one variable F and it is assigned the value 1 and here we use the I is initialized to n I is greater than equal to 1 I minus minus here we calculate the factorial so here we specify F equal to F into I after that we return the F to the calling function F fact now these are the references thank you.


Hello everyone, in this video I'll give you a quick look at my latest CircuitPython project, 1D Chomper. It was inspired by a similar web game named One Dimensional Pac-Man. In 1D Chomper the map is a single long hallway instead of a larger two dimensional rectangle with many pathways like in the original game. Your job is to press the big red button to change the Chomper's direction back and forth avoiding the red ghost while doing your best to munch down on those yummy pellets. When you eat one of the bigger circular pellets, the ghost will turn blue and become vulnerable for a few seconds. If you manage to chase it down and chomp on it during that window you'll score some bonus points while it scuttles away to the edge of the screen to respawn and chase after you once again. The project is built with the Adafruit Qualia ESP32 S3 RGB666 display driver and a very long TFT display with 240 by 960 pixels. Their input comes from a single panel mount arcade button connected easily with a JST 3 pin to alligator clips connector. While there are many colors of the arcade button available, the red one fit the aesthetic that I was aiming for perfectly with the arcade cabinet inspired decals that I printed out and stuck on the recycle cardboard box which serves as the home for this project.


I want to be clear that when they look back on this moment 200 years from now that there are those of us who stood up and they'll be able to say they defended the right to vote one year ago today on my mother's dying bed at 92 years old former sharecropper her last words were do not let them take our votes away from us they had fought she had fought and seen people harmed beaten trying to vote talk about inalienable rights voting is crucial and I don't give a damn how you look at it there are efforts to stop people from voting that's not right this is the united states of America and I will fight until the death to make sure every citizen whether they're Green Party whether they're Freedom Party whether they're Democrat whether they're Republican whoever has that right to vote because it is the essence of our democracy I want to be clear that when they look back on this moment 200 years from now that there are those who of us who stood up and they'll be able to say they stood up and said we will defend they defended the right to vote because you know what the problem is for so many people their rights are pulled away from them then they got to put in laws and get them back pulled away from them what does that mean they cannot progress rapidly they cannot progress with the rest of society and all they're trying to do is trying to control their own destiny


ACMI Productions are only made possible with your support. Visit patreon.com slash ACMI to learn how you can help. Good evening friends. This is now the regular meeting of the Arlington School Committee. It is now 6.33 p.m. on Thursday, April 11th, 2024. We are all live and in person. There is no person signed up for public comment. We have the chorus. Asra, I didn't rehearse this enough. Asra Nurawahi, who is a student rep today, do you have anything to speak to the committee about? Yes, so far we've had our inclusion workshops and AHS, which have been going pretty well. And we also had three AHS courses, one at the MICCA, which is the Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral Conductor Association. And we also saw the solar eclipse in the front lawn, which was pretty exciting. And the science teachers provided solar glasses so we can see it safely, so it was very good. That's great. Any questions for Asra? Seeing none, let's move on to the, oh, go ahead, question. Asra, you're on a working group, correct? You wanna tell everybody which working group you're on, which working on? We're on the, yeah, the communications one. And we are working on the, we have the thing. The guidebook. Yeah, the guidebook. So we're still working on that. Sorry, I totally just put you on the spot. Oh, geez. So yeah, just like editing that. We appreciate your work on our behalf. Next item is a field trip discussion and possible approval, Dr. Homan. So we do have Magistra Me on the Zoom. Thank you. Who can speak to any questions that you might have about this trip and we can have some discussion and go from there.  Absolutely. Hello. My name is Cassandra Mea and I teach Latin at the high school. This is my 13th, I think, year in the district and this will be my second potential trip to Italy. We went in 2018 with a group of students and we had a wonderful time. Seeing as we have such a small department and we don't really get to do many things locally, I've been really looking forward to trying to get my students to literally walk where the Romans that they're studying got to walk. So we're proposing a trip to Italy for next April. It is a nine day trip. Ideally, it will be first offered to Latin students but because it will be a trip in Italy, I would also be more than welcome to take any Italian students that would be interested as well. Comments or questions from the committee? Ms. Morgan. Yeah, I didn't recognize the name of the organization, the tour group. Have we used this company before to do a trip? Yes, we have. We've used them for several years. Previous teachers have used them. They have a parent forum is kind of a branch of their company. The main company is called Prometor. We have used them for previous exchange trips to France in several years past and we just used them for another colleague in my department when they took students to Quebec. Super, thank you. No problem. Dr. Allison Ampe. My question is more, so first, I didn't have a problem looking at the stuff from the trip. It looks like it's organized well, but I had one question. The only information I could find was from a year ago about Italy's current COVID quarantine requirements and what, more, okay. I'll repeat. The only information I could find from Italy's current COVID quarantine requirements was from a year ago and at that point they were required, if someone tested positive for COVID, they were requiring quarantine for five days or, yeah, it was five days and then you could leave if you had a positive test and I just wanted to be sure that you'll have enough adults with you that, well, first, that may change and I understand, but if that was still enforced because it looks like they have been running more strict than other countries that you have enough adults that you would be able to handle if a student was to test positive during the trip. Absolutely, in speaking to Dr. Janger, he recommends and prefers three chaperones for international trips, so I have potentially four lined up depending on, four in total including myself, apologies, three additional people lined up who have agreed to come if they are needed and the minimum that is on that quote is for three chaperones, so myself and two additional people. Great, thank you, good question. Dr. Homan. Cassandra, I'm sorry, I'm not seeing it in the materials. Did you all fill out the High School's International Trip application online? Yes, I did, I filled it out on the 2nd of April. Okay, I wanna make sure we have that in addition to the materials that are posted to Novus because I don't see it here, so. Oh, absolutely, I can certainly, I believe I got a digital copy of it, I can certainly print it and put it into that folder. That would be great, or you can just forward me the sort of receipt that it sends you and we can include that in the material. Since we use that for lots of our other international trips. Sure, absolutely. Ms. Morgan. So I'm gonna abstain from this trip. I've been asking for a long time for a strategy around international travel that I would like, this isn't about Latin or this trip, it looks great. So I've been asking the district for a long time to provide some kind of strategy around what we're doing, how we're ensuring access, some guidance around, this one is great because it's coming to us a year before the trip is happening, which is fantastic, but there's no uniformity around that, we just kind of get them across, they always get approved, so I can understand why there's no desire to change practice, but I would really like to see a strategy around this that's clearly articulated that provides clear guidance around how we support students who can go, who wanna go, who can't afford to pay, how we offer trips around languages to students who don't take that language, all of those kind of things, it's just there's no articulation around it anywhere and I would like to see that and I keep asking for it, so I'll just keep asking. So I'm gonna abstain from this one, but thank you for doing this, I think it's really important to have these opportunities available to kids, my concern is around how the administration manages these, so thank you. Does somebody would like to make a motion to approve? I move approval of the trip. Second. Okay, motion by Mr. Thielman, seconded by Ms. Exton as we have, I'll do this by roll call. Ms. Exton. Yes. Mr. Cardin. Yes. Dr. Allison Ampe. Yes. Mr. Thielman. Yes. Ms. Giddelson. Yes. Ms. Morgan. I'm gonna abstain. And the chair votes in the affirmative, that's a 6-0-1 vote, thank you. Next item will be a discussion and a possible vote to move the June 6th school committee meeting. Dr. Holman. So on that first Thursday in June every year, the lab program holds its graduation and the board attends and I went last year and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It's an awesome event. And so I would like to be able to attend again. And if it's possible, I would suggest moving that meeting to the following week and with the anticipation that maybe we don't need the last meeting in June and can put June, all of our June agenda items in that meeting. So move. I believe June 13th is the award ceremony. Oh, is it the high school one? The AHS award ceremony? Oh, it is. Okay. We will postpone this decision to the next meeting and we'll try to work it out. Another option would be to cancel that meeting and have the last meeting in June. Okay, I'll be out of town on that last meeting date but Ms. Moore can certainly hold that award. When we ask Ms. Diggins to kind of look at other dates, if you want, I mean, I think Dr. Holman should go to that event and she'll just find another date. Just do a poll and see what else is available. We don't have to meet on Thursdays. We don't have to meet on Thursdays. So we can meet on a Wednesday of Tuesday. Okay, Superintendent update. We have had, as Asra told us, students participating in inclusion workshops and we had a keynote address from Reverend Matthew, help me. This is his last name. I meant to put it in there. His name is Matthew. He was fantastic and he had the students and I'll get the name in there and make sure that we upload it. But what you see in one of those pictures is that the students, Thompson, thank you. Thank you, Asra. He had the students. Do you actually, were you in one of the things where you had, okay, do you want to tell what you all did? Yeah, it was great. He talked about making us uncomfortable because we have to be uncomfortable to grow and he basically just gave us three words to make a poem on the spot and he picked like five random people to go up and share their poems with everyone.  Yeah, and it was very interesting and I think a lot of people in the class enjoyed it. A lot of people expected it to be kind of boring, I would say, but then after hearing it, they were very interested. It was really, it's a great set of workshops and something that I know the high school has done now for the second year and is intending to continue. Arlington High School had its musical performance of 12th night recently and it was the most student-produced performance in Arlington High School history with the students designing the set and helping work behind the scenes on the lighting and working with our new theater director to do all of those things and it's been really great to have that role in the system and to have students involved in the full production of the musical and it was just an absolutely spectacular performance. OMS students, I attended the Ideas Middle School Conference recently. There's a picture of them there at the bottom. This is a conference that engages students in conversations about racial equity and their experiences in schools and how to create environments where students, all students from all backgrounds can feel belonging. We had 17, we have and are very excited about and we'll be asking for your approval for a trip so that 17 OMS students and five AHS students can compete at National History Day at the competition in Maryland from June 9th through June 13th and I want to congratulate three new doctors in the Arlington Public Schools, Dr. Margaret Fiedel-Thomas, Dr. Matt Coleman and Dr. Michelle Crawford all defended their dissertations right, it was a couple of weeks ago now and they have graduated from, they will be graduating from the BC doctoral program with their EDDs, so congratulations to them on the successful conclusion of their doctoral work. We have several administrative hiring searches going right now. We've, as I've told you previously, completed the Hardy Principle search and are looking forward to welcoming Principal Saunders to Hardy. We have completed and hopefully we'll have an announcement coming soon. Our search for instance, Superintendent of Finance and Operations. We currently have underway our search for K-12 Mathematics Director Permanent. We had an interim in the role this year. A posting for our Autism Middle School Assistant Principal. We had our former Metco Director in that role as interim and she's decided to return to the Metco Director role so Rachelle Smith will be back in the Metco Director role. We're very excited to have her back in that role. She's doing a spectacular job with programming and we've posted for a replacement for OMS Assistant Principal and we are currently in the process of searching for a new Bishop Assistant Principal as well. The new playgrounds at Monotomy Pre-K will be ready after break. Our daycare students there and our students will, our Monotomy students will use that playground. They were using it to some extent but they needed to rubber the surface and they couldn't do that because of the timing of the move and the cold weather and so we're excited for them to have full run of the completed playground when we come back from the break. Enrollments are attached. I wanna note that the K numbers are approved enrollments including assigned buffer zones. So the buffer zones have been assigned. That's approved enrollments does not include pending enrollments. So we do have packets that are still awaiting information to come in and so those are not included in those totals. I wanna preview a few things that are coming up at future meetings. We will be talking about inclusive grouping either at the next meeting or the one after that we were going to do it at the next meeting but I will not be present at the next meeting. Dr. Ford Walker will be so I just wanna make sure that if we talk about HGI and inclusive grouping that we feel like we're ready to do that. And if Dr. Ford Walker is taking that that she's had a conversation with Dr. Janker but we will have a recommendation for that. It's looking like the recommendation will be to continue with ninth grade inclusive grouping the way it is currently structured but to have ongoing conversations about how our leveling practices and deeper learning play out at the high school more broadly as well as conversations about how we structure schedules and other such things to support the work that the high school wants to do. I think there's a desire to do have a broader conversation with more of the faculty before we enact further change on an initiative that has shown some success in having more students have access to higher level coursework but has been relatively isolated to a small group of teachers in ninth grade and in one discipline. So we'll have more to say about that at the next meeting but if there are specific things you're looking for and a recommendation or in that presentation I'd be happy to take those and pass them along to Dr. Janker in the next couple of weeks. We will have a draft of district goals to the committee in early May. We're working on those now that will be the earliest we've been managed to get them to the committee which we're excited about. We have our working group facilitators taking a look at sort of an update on where we're at with the 23-24 goals now. So with the goals for next year we will also have a status report on where we are on the goals for this year. And we are also, I also want to preview that we will need to have a conversation at some point as we head into the summer and as we open next fall about an exploration of buffer zone and boundary adjustments. We do have more students at Thompson and a never increasing number of students at Thompson that has created space constraints and also creates challenges around providing support and having additional service providers at the school that we really want to try to alleviate. And so we want to take a look at and we have space in some other elementary schools. So we want to take a look at how we're assigning geographically students to schools I think with MBTA communities being passed we should also think about what the long-term impact of that's going to be. And we've started drawing up some options and doing some data analysis to determine what the impact of different adjustments might be to maybe expanding buffer zones or adjusting where the buffer zone boundaries are. So I want to preview for the community and the community that that is going to happen. And I'm looking forward to lots of conversation about it because I think it'll be necessary for us to make sure the community is fully aware of any adjustments we're going to make and what the impact might be. I do want to note that any changes we would make would be slow. They would impact incoming kindergarten students and families with students currently in schools who would otherwise go to another school would be able to remain in the school that they're currently at. So that would be a slow shift over time. And for now, that is my updates. I'm happy to take any questions. Any questions from the committee? Seeing none, we move to the consent agenda. All items listed with an asterisk are considered to be routine and will be enacted in one motion. There'll be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the committee so requests in which the event, in which event the item will be considered in this normal sequence. Warrant number two, four, two, one, eight, and the amount of $1,873,563.11, dated 319. Warrant number two, four, two, four, six, in the amount of $780,873.44, dated 4-3. And draft school committee meeting minutes, March 21st, 2024. So moved. Okay, moved by Ms. Ekston. Second. Second, Ms. Dr. Allison Ampey. I think this is a point of information question. There is a trip approval that's listed under the subcommittee and liaison report. That's, that will not be done tonight. It's just that for future agenda. Oh, okay, okay. Sorry, I think maybe it was supposed to be in consent agenda, never mind. Okay, that's okay. No, that's where we're at. It's been moved and seconded, all in favor. Yes. Opposed, that's unanimous. Subcommittee liaison reports and announcements, which should be short because we've reshuffled budget. Budget will eventually meet. Thank you. The last one. Oh, okay. We met yesterday. Okay. No, that's right. We met yesterday. We met with the candidate for assistant superintendent. We met, we, what else did we do? I don't remember any of them. We met with community ad. All right, community ad, yes. Community ad. With community ad to go over, their financial operations and their revolving fund balance. We've proved lots of minutes. Sorry, now your turn. Off to you. I am done. Community relations, Ms. Exton. Nothing to report. Curriculum instruction assessment and accountability, Ms. Morgan. We need to schedule a meeting. Facilities, Mr. Thielman. We need to schedule a meeting. Policies and procedures, Mr. Cardin. The same. Early high school building committee, Mr. Thielman. We're having productive meetings with the conservation commission. Stay tuned. Liaison reports. We all have new Liaison assignments. I hope we all enjoy them. Is there anybody who has anything to say under this agenda item? Any, now? I didn't go to the wellness meeting though. I'm excited to keep doing that. And what did we talk, Ms. Elmer was there. So that was great. She's not here tonight, but anyway. We're in good hands. Well, good. Dr. Allison Ampe particularly appreciates your work on the wellness committee. Future agenda items, including one thing to note, the trip to the National History Day competition. We'll bring that up in the future. Anything else for future agenda items? Can I just note on the History Day competition, we've almost got everything. We didn't quite have all of the documentation together yet. We're asking school, I couldn't remember if we had voted this or not, but we have so many students going that we wanted to make sure we were very thorough in sending the kids this time and did all of the requisite paperwork for it. But we'll have that for your vote next time, but they have to register today. So part of why I wanted it on here was to inform you all that they're registering for it. This is moving forward. There are concerns. It'd be good to know about that sooner than later, but we'll have all of the documentation for an official approval for them to go at the next meeting. So in other words, if there's something that might preclude your vote of approval, please let the superintendent know. I engage in a discussion. Dr. Allison Ampe. I don't have any concerns. I wanted to say the superintendent and I had discussed it as I was outgoing chair and I felt that it was reasonable to bring forward to the committee because the number of students it's out of state and it's overnight. But I would think it can go under the consent agenda next time. Ms. Diggins, please note that we can put this trip under consent agenda for the next meeting. Any other announcements, future agenda items? Two things that have come to my attention. One, we appoint two members of the Permanent Town Building Committee whose terms expire at the end of June. Our normal procedure is to run them past community relations. So I'm gonna ask the members, current members, if they want to continue in service and then pass that information through community relations and bring it back before the board. We need to do that by the end of the school year. So we've just received that notification. The other thing is, Dr. Allison Ampe, your hand is half raised. I don't think we usually run Permanent Town Building Committee through community relations. Well, it's our appointment. We run our appointments through. Now if community relations chooses to look at it and send it back and say, not a problem, not a problem but I think that is a matter of process. Okay. Yeah, we've seen things go through community relations. We have done appointments through community relations but not Permanent Town Building Committee. But that's, I'm just clarifying that this is not our usual procedure for this position. I'm looking to be consistent. Okay. And community relations can just pass along, but I just want everybody to have consistency in the process that anything we're pointing makes it through that way. I'd also like to ask policies to take a look at JH, student absences and excuses as we've had correspondents in the past pertaining to absences on trips. That's policy JH. Any other things for future agenda items? Seeing none. I think the next step here is to go to executive session. The executive session would be to conduct strategy sessions in preparation for negotiations with union and or non-union personnel or contract negotiations with union and or non-union in which you've held in an open meeting may have a detrimental effect. To conduct strategy with respective collective bargaining or litigation in which you've held in an open meeting may have a detrimental effect. Collective bargaining may also be conducted. We'd be dealing with AEA unit A negotiations and we will not return to public session after the conclusion of the executive session. We'll go straight to adjournment. So a motion by Mr. Thielman. Second. Second by Dr. Allison Appie to go to executive session. This is a roll call. Ms. Eksten. Mr. Cardin. Yes. Dr. Allison Ampe. Yes. Mr. Thielman. Yes. Ms. Giddelson. Yes. Ms. Morgan. Yes. And the chair votes in the affirmative. That's a seven nothing vote. We are now in executive session. ACMI productions are only made possible with your support.
