Well, some people saw some showers this afternoon, Leith. Some of those showers putting down a lot of rain in a short period of time. We're going to talk a little more about that. The Doppler radar is showing, yes, the showers hit and miss across the region, but we do have some locally heavy rain making its way across parts of eastern Kentucky. That's where we will start with the heavier rain showers moving through parts of Harlan, Letcher and Perry counties. This is a very slow moving cell moving off to the north, and we'll be over toward central parts of Knot County and Perry County here shortly. This is actually putting down anywhere between a half inch to that little yellow stripe you see there. That's a Doppler radar estimating an inch of rain in a short period of time, actually in about an hour. For that reason, we do have a flood advisory that is in effect until 8.45 this evening for West Letcher County and southeast Perry County. Again, that goes to 8.45. If you're going to be out traveling, there's going to be a lot of water on the roads and maybe some low-lying flooding. That's just what the flood advisory is indicating. So again, western parts of Letcher County, southeast Perry County, flood advisory until 8.45. And we also have another pretty healthy cell that is moving through Johnson County. We'll be approaching Paintsville up toward Flatgap here within the next half hour or so. Rain cooled temperatures in some locations, others, Williamson, 80 degrees, Logan at 80, 80 and Inez, 81 in Prestonsburg, down to 77 with a little rain shower moving through downtown Pikeville over the last hour. We're down to 72 in Dorton, 83 in Widesburg, and 77, current temperature in Souttersville. Officially, the high today went down in the record books, 84 degrees, the low 65. Again, above average for this time of the year. Now at the National Weather Service office in Jackson, only picking up one-one-hundredth of an inch of rain, but still, below average for the month and still above average for the year. But boy, we're cutting into that this month. You may remember, I think on May the 1st, we were about eight-and-a-half inches above average for the month or for the year. We're down to 4.13 as of today. So we just keep cutting in to that surplus. The satellite and radar composite showing the showers and the thunderstorms moving through now. Most of our weather or the disturbances have been moving in from the Carolinas off the Atlantic coast. There's not a lot going on there as of right now. So we should stay pretty nice for tomorrow to pop up shower possible, but this is our storm system to watch. This one we'll be approaching as we make our way into the day on Sunday, increasing a chance of showers and storms. As far as the pollen count is concerned, we'll take a look at that here in just a second. We'll show you the future radar and give you an idea of what to expect. Overnight tonight, the showers die down. Tomorrow, like I said, pop up shower possible. And as you will see, that rain shower increases as we head into western Kentucky, central Kentucky, and eventually into our area by early Sunday morning. Now to that all-important pollen count. Sponsored by Faith Pharmacy, Adams Plaza in Pikeville, 7.34 tomorrow, which is in the high category. With a better chance of rain on Sunday, we drop to 4.3 in the moderate category. Oh, you know what's going to jump right back up, though, as we head into early next week. 6.3 by Monday, 7 day forecast, 30% chance of rain tomorrow, hazy, hot and humid, 88 degrees, 82, 60% chance of rain on Sunday by Monday, front moves through, 50% chance of rain. I think we stay dry Tuesday and Wednesday before the showers return Thursday into Friday. And if you want to check out another look at the forecast for tomorrow, you can check out the Appalachian News Express or the Mingo Messenger. Oh, okay. Tomorrow's edition. Okay, great. Well, I know my garden enjoyed the pop-up shower. I bet a lot of folks are saying the exact same thing. Thank goodness, a little rain. At last. That's sweet.


From the conversation, this is Don't Call Me Resilient. I'm Venita Srivastava. In terms of the statistics, 35% of global international migration is South to North, and 37% is South to South. So there are more people moving within the global South than South to North. We're very self-centered when it comes to this, and I think it's very damaging because it just paints the global South as these kind of greedy invaders looking for jobs, and the global North is the best. And we really have to smash that stereotype, because that's not the case. Recently, there have been some troubling images coming out of Pakistan, where devastating floods have taken the lives of more than 1,500 people and displaced close to 8 million. The floods have also submerged farmlands and spread waterborne illnesses. So the picture is bleak. A lot of this suffering can be linked to human-induced climate change. This month, leaders from over 190 countries gather in Egypt for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP 27. This UN climate change summits have been criticized by indigenous and environmental activists, who say the so-called solutions coming out of them have done more harm than good. Will this year be different? Will leaders be paying attention to real solutions for people in Pakistan being displaced right now? Our guest today says it's pretty much an accepted fact that the global climate crisis has been driven by the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation by western states, while marginalized populations globally bear the brunt of the impact. She says it's appropriate to ask whether western states have the moral responsibility to protect and compensate those most harmed by climate change. Ivan Su is an assistant professor in the Department of Equity Studies at York University. She specializes in migration, including climate change-induced displacement. She holds a PhD in political science and international development from the University of Guelph and a master's in refugee-enforced migration studies from the University of Oxford. Welcome, Ivan. Thank you so much for having me. As you know, Pakistan has been experiencing devastating floods with rising death tolls and millions of displaced people. And I've been reading terms like climate carnage in the news. And yet when we were researching this episode, we felt like that this enormous tragedy wasn't in the news more. Why do you think that is? The answer is very unfortunate and is something that people don't like to think about because it's very harsh. We've been told by the media and by our politicians that people in Pakistan, they don't matter. We've painted a country and people with dark-colored skin to matter less. They are not painted as human. And then that's really unfortunate because, as you've mentioned, they're suffering from human-caused climate change. And climate change is something that has been mainly pushed by developed countries, by rich nations. The other thing that I keep hearing is that it's just a matter of geography or it's just bad luck that certain people are just lucky to be born in certain places. What are some of the issues at play here? I think the argument that people are unlucky with their geography is a scapegoat because you can't blame nature. There's no mother nature you can take to court. There's no mother nature that you can, say, pay for these damages. It's very convenient for governments who have the responsibility to protect their citizens and to build the seawalls, to put out the warning signs, to evacuate people, to not take responsibility and to blame the environment and to blame nature. You probably rarely have heard this politician standing up and saying, like, we didn't evacuate them in time. We saw the warnings, right? We didn't build the buildings up to code to withstand earthquakes and floods. You wouldn't hear that. It's much easier to blame nature. Given what you've just said, I mean, you've explained it so well.  They have so much responsibility because we are one of the top emitters per capita. You'll hear over and over again at COP 27 in Egypt that they're going to say that China is the top emitter, India is the top emitter, but they have 1.3 billion people. So per capita, it's about six, I think, four to six tons of carbon per capita, an average Canadian amidst 21. Let that sink in. 21 per capita per Canadian versus six for Indian or Chinese citizen, right? And we continue to point the finger at these countries, these developing countries. And of course, with our energy, we are a big contributor. We need to really look inwards and really clean up our own mess. And I think we really need to push industry. What I would like to see is industry lobbying the government to say, please, make us do better, set better policies that we must follow. That would be a dream because the government wants to do what citizens want and what industry wants. Why do you think it's so hard to get governments to take responsibility? I think because oil and gas is a very strong lobbying group. They have a lot of power and a lot of say in Ottawa. And whichever governments empower their policies, if it really affects the bottom line, they're not going to get reelected. The governments are very good at telling citizens that they're going to take action on climate change. Every election, climate change is brought up now. But the actual action that's taken, I think rarely matches up with the promises. And because citizens are so busy with their lives and now with COVID and surviving, everybody's pretty burnt out. It's so hard to stay on top of these campaign promises. So we just kind of end up in this weird cycle where they make promises, they don't do them. And as citizens, we're kind of just really confused because we thought things were being done. There's something else that you said there, which is, I wish that corporations would ask governments to hold them responsible. Is that something that you think will happen?  So is there some way to get corporations, you're saying oil and gas to take responsibility? I don't. It's a pipe dream, actually. Yeah. Sorry for the fun. I can't envision it happening, but I feel like that would be amazing. There's a lot of focus on citizens and there's a lot of focus on governments. And I think we're really missing those who truly hold the power. And I think it's industry that's very difficult for citizens and government to hold industry accountable. The mechanisms are not really there. Like as a citizen, what am I going to do? Write an email. Yeah. Right. Like boycott. It's really difficult. Yeah. So I think that without more pressure, we're finding more ways to pressure industry effectively. We're not really going to move the needle too much. I also want to get into your research a little bit.  Can you explain the difference between these terms? So to be clear, a climate refugee is not a legal term. The word refugee is legal term recognized by the 1951 convention. And it's those people who face persecution and are forced out of their country of origin and can't return for reasons of race, for reasons of religion, politics. But climate is not one of the protected grounds.  And the team that was advocating for refugee is kind of saying that they need protection. They cannot return, especially in the situation of small island states where they're literally submerged or their situation is so difficult because of saltwater intrusion that they cannot live on their island. So here is a situation where they cannot return. Now you have advocates who are on the other side saying that, no, well, they're migrants or they're definitely not refugees because migration of any kind is multi-causal. Right. And that makes perfect sense. People move for a variety of reasons. You cannot say that they move just for climate change or just because of climate change. You can't say that? I say you can't say it.  Okay. And the logical head part is like migration is multi-causal. It's not multi-causal. You cannot make the association. Therefore, it does not exist. Full stop, end of conversation.  And there's the heart, which is like, okay, so these people have been displaced. Their crops are all gone. And it's the third year that it's happening. They're literally starving. There's nothing they can do. So they're going to move because that's just what you have to do to say the city. They're in the city now. They don't have the skills to take up city jobs. But now they're further, they continue to be displaced and maybe they go to a refugee camp, et cetera, in their search for livelihood. Here you have multiple reasons why they may be displaced or maybe in the city they face some violence because they're from the wrong ethnic group. Right, right. But climate change was what started it and climate change is why they can't go back. Right. They may not have a home there or they may not have access to food. Exactly. So after this debate about 10 years ago and it was kind of subtle that climate refugees don't exist, we've just seen people be displaced anyways. Yeah, yeah. Right? Stories after stories of people being displaced linked strongly to climate change. So I do feel that there is a shift back to that conversation because people recognize that like logic doesn't care about the human experience. Right? What I explained to you makes complete sense. It's not, it's migration is multi-causal. You can't say it's climate change. Therefore there's no climate refugees. Yet people are displaced mainly as a result of climate change. If your home is destroyed by a flood. You can't return. You can't return. Yeah, there's no home there. I think what's happening is that 10 years on we're seeing a lot more extreme situations. Yeah. So you said 1951 there was a ruling on the definition of a refugee and that's United Nations. So but 1951 would have been a very different time when it came to climate change. Oh yes. Isn't it time for that to change based on our current realities? For sure. And in the literature and among like legal scholars and activists there's been like regular debates about updating the 1951 convention because it was made in a time after the world wars. It was a very specific European context. But the people who would say that we can't change it their argument is rooted in the fact that once you open Pandora's box like you don't know what's gonna happen and you don't know if rights are gonna get stripped away. What do you mean by rights are gonna get stripped away? Well, if we're gonna change the 1951 convention you can change it for the better or you can change it for the worse. Right. Right. And who is deciding to change the definition? So we've got a lot of things at play and I think as optimists we might naturally think okay great if we change the definition we add more things it's gonna lead to more protection. Yeah. We're not flattering there's people on the other team that are like, yeah, open it up. Right, open up that definition because we gotta cut it down. Right. We are letting way too many people in as quote unquote refugees. I am a nation that funds the UN. I'm not gonna pay. Now this is what people are very afraid of is that once you revisit this conversation it can go many ways and we cannot say for sure that it's gonna lead to more protection. I believe in the word climate refugee even if it's used in a colloquial non-legal term because it communicates the situation more clearly than saying climate migrant. I feel like climate migrant is a very easy scapegoat to not have any state to be responsible for their movement and for causing their movement or having to responsibly to receive them. And I think that's very dangerous. It's a very slippery slope because the second you introduce that people just kind of don't care. That's the question that keeps coming up for me too is that who's responsible? Once the UN starts including climate as an option for asylum, then that means that Western nations have to take responsibility. They should be responsible. Science is extremely clear who has admitted the most historically to contribute to human cause climate change. You got the evidence. We got the receipts. We just don't want to recognize it. And I think it's gonna continue to be a big source of tension and there might be a watershed moment in the future where really this has to change. So if we know all of this, why can't we get our act together as a global community and find solutions, especially solutions to the social aspects, the social tensions that are gonna arise? Yeah. It sounds like part of the lobbying that we have to do is in the storytelling as well. We need to tell those stories. Yes, we do. And I think we need to elevate global self voices. The really important myth to bust is that in terms of international migration, the trend is not that those in the global south are coming to the global north and invading these countries doing their jobs. So in terms of the statistics, 35% of global international migration is south to north and 37% is south to south. So there are more people moving within the global south than south to north. We're very self-centered when it comes to this. And I think it's very damaging because it just paints the global south as these kind of greedy invaders looking for jobs and the global north is the best. And we really have to smash that stereotype because that's not the case. Let's move a little bit closer to home now right here in Canada. How does the environmental crisis impact communities here? Heavily, heavily. And there's a lot of environmental racism in Canada that we don't like to talk about, right? Unpack that term a little bit for us on environmental racism. So kind of environmental racism is the idea that communities that have lower socioeconomic status toward poor, who may be indigenous or people of color, immigrant communities, they often actually end up being locations where, say, there are chemical plants. So they're located on areas or near situations that are less desirable or arguably environmentally harmful.  So they complain less. We've got the situation of the tar sands. And there's a lot of indigenous communities that live around the tar sands and their waterways which they fish and they get their livelihoods from are polluted. So those are examples of environmental racism. And then there's more active forms of it. And it's really uncomfortable to think about. But here's a case study. So in 2011, the government diverted water as a flood was threatening Winnipeg. So there was a flood coming to Winnipeg and the government had to decide, what are we gonna do with that water? And they diverted it to Lake St. Martin where a lot of indigenous communities are. So this natural hazard of flood created a disaster. This is what I'm trying to explain. There's the natural hazard, which is a flood. And then there's a subsequent disaster which was actually created by the government when they diverted this flood. The super flood led to an evacuation of 18 First Nations. And in 2014, over a thousand Lake St. Martin First Nations community members are still displaced three years after the super flood. So that's a situation where the government is actively choosing which communities is gonna get harmed by a natural hazard. And instead of Winnipeg where the flood was naturally going and you can blame nature, they diverted it towards 18 First Nations communities. It's shocking. It is shocking and the biggest word that keeps popping up into my head is reparations. Is there some kind of conversation around climate reparations? You're talking about many communities displaced right here. Yeah, going back to the importance of discourse. So these people are called evacuees in Canada, right? So if you're impacted by this flood and they've attempted to evacuate you or an evacuee, but you've been evacuee for three years, right? Yeah, you're now displaced is what you're saying. You're not an evacuee. Yes, so I think like policy wise, we're really behind and there's no push from the citizen side or the government side to do anything. So let's have actual frameworks, right? Like we saw late in go up in flames, right? And those people are also evacuees. And I think the most optimistic estimate was that it would take two years to be rebuilt. They're still displaced now, almost two years on. And they will continue to be because how can you build a community back up that quickly? Unless the government is storing a lot of resources at it, it's not gonna happen. And there's a situation where we can learn a lot from the global south because they've had to rebuild after disasters over and over again. And we know that those projects are decade long projects. So why are we lying to our citizens and saying we're gonna try to get you back in two years? I think that causes more trauma and more community pain because there's no real timeline, there's no real estimate when you can return home. You're probably just told year after year, sorry, it's late. That means that's hurtful. You're talking about how you can disrupt some of the ways things have been done before. I mean, it's very clear that we need urgent action. So how do we refocus to prompt the necessary action? If we are to try to do things properly, it has to be done with community consultation. We cannot just come into these First Nations communities that have been affected by a government choice to create a disaster. And then just say, we're gonna rebuild your homes and you're gonna move in. But sorry, we can't rebuild your homes where they were because they've been affected by the flood. And because we had historically put you in a flood zone, it's gonna continue to happen, happen again. So we're actually gonna move you an hour out where the land is cheaper and we will rebuild there. That's usually what happens in the global seven. It's very top down, the people on the ground that are affected don't have much say in where their new settlement site is gonna be. It's usually a place that's far away from their old community. It's usually a place without livelihoods and without commerce. You've broken up really historical communities. You've also put people in places where they can't earn a living. Yeah, so it's like, thank you for the house, but what about everything else? Like somebody's life is not just a shelter. We've seen the global south where the government spent tens of thousands, millions of dollars to build these resettlement sites and then the people just can't live there because they don't have a job, they can't find work, the commute is one to two hours and it's very expensive to get back to the city or do whatever it is that makes them a living. So in a really weird way, we've imprisoned them in these far away lands where we've said we've built the resilient homes, but that's all they have there is just a shelter. You're talking about some of the solutions. Some of it feels very overwhelming. We talked a lot about government in action and the unlikelihood that corporations are gonna do anything. What about the communities that are facing the influx of displaced people of climate refugees? That's a great question because we don't think about that part either, right? I think that it's very normal for the host communities to kind of have their backs up because they think, oh my gosh, we've just received several thousand people that need housing, we already have a housing issue. People already can't get apartments, right? Or jobs, et cetera. And this is where the forward thinking of the government can really play a role. Like we're at a point where the science is there to predict the likelihood of these hazards in certain areas. So if we can plan ahead and we can kind of infuse these host communities with resources, with jobs, with housing, that can go a far away to mitigate the tensions because the tensions are very natural. We can predict that there'll be tensions, of course. So why can't we also have the foresight to give resources to these communities so that they can deal with the influx of people? The trouble we have with politics is that nobody wins any points for foresight. Like, right? Everyone is looking out for the next four years. So in a way, we're at a loss because if they don't do it, who's gonna do it? What about climate refugees themselves? Is there potential for them to be part of the solution? Yes, I think so. I think those who are displaced by climate change really have this drive to kind of do things better because they've experienced the consequences of climate change. So it's partly that they can help put forward a moral argument. We're talking about the future in some ways and we wanna be able to share that there is something that we actually can do. It's really challenging for an individual, right? Like, well, what can we do? Well, I think one positive aspect that's coming out of climate anxiety is that we do have a generation of students, of teenagers led by Greta Thunberg, who are really dedicated to making sure they have a future. So I think that is a silver lining that it sounds bad because it's born out of such horrible situations that they really have to fight for their future. It really is a climate emergency. Our house is on fire, right? As we saw the world burn in 2021 of all these videos of people escaping fires in their car. So I think that we are having a generation of people who are very dedicated to living more carbon-free, zero waste lives. So when it comes to citizen level, I'm not actually too worried about the citizens because of things like this. People are making choices that are greener. A lot of young people, adults as well, but I think it hits young people differently, do feel that if they don't make these choices, their future is impacted. The year 2050 is thrown around a lot, right? And for a teenager, they're only 40, right? Maybe less than 40 at 2050. And to them, it's like, that's supposed to be the end of a good world most of what a good world could be. So that injustice really sticks with them. And I think you throw COVID on top of that and the experience two or three years of feeling like they can't do very much. And I think what we're seeing is just gonna be a lot of action. I don't think the focus is on plastic bags and straws. Those are really important and people are already making those choices. But I think that diverts a lot of energy away from lobbying the government, lobbying industries. And because any change they make is so much bigger than what citizens can do. It doesn't mean citizens don't do their part. I'm just saying that we don't give citizens enough credit for doing their part. Thank you so much, Yvonne, for your time today. It's been very fascinating speaking with you. Thank you for inviting me. This was great. That's it for this episode of Don't Call Me Resilient.

Who should tend to depends in part on your institution? So people that have not had a lot of exposure to having to manage other people, supervising other people. Employees that have not had exposure to project management and the skills that are required for that. So we essentially see folks that have not had a lot of management experience in general. So we have three core values that we bring to the management institute. One is that we want them to develop their own support and network. Another is that we want people to have takeaways. So we want them to be able to have practical things that they can go back to their institution and do.  I think anyone in an information organization, and we bring librarians as well as technologists, anyone who's recently made a move into management would benefit from this. I tell people all the time that I'm blessed because I attend the management institute two times a year.  We all can use help being a better manager. We also talk about some newer topics like ethics and core values. And we talk about really understanding the academy because we're starting to see some more people that have joined our ranks from corporate America. And they struggle understanding some of the nuances of higher education. The EDUCAUS Leadership Institute is specifically geared at those people who have some experience in the field and are beginning to think about leading an entire IT organization or a combined IT and library organization for any size institution. The skills of leadership are skills of relationship. You need to understand how institutions work at a higher level. A lot of people align themselves with the mission. And where does your IT leadership fit in with that alignment? The differences between the learning technology leadership institutes and the other institutes that EDUCAUS offers is that this one is specific to those of us in the learning technologies area. So the content in the curriculum that we talk about during this institute is how those of us in that role interplay in the university, what roles we coordinate and collaborate with across the institution. People attending the EDUCAUS Learning Technology Institute will come away with a framework to think about how they want to lead. So they will be able to work with key leaders around campus to impact change around poor academic issues.


All right, so it's nine o'clock we be here and as chair of the Rochester Select Board I find that due to the state of emergency defined by Governor Scott as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to addendum 6 to executive order 01-20 and act 92 this public body is authorized to meet electronically and in accordance to act 92 there's no physical location to observe and listen contemporaneously to this meeting however in accordance with the temporary amendments to the open meeting law I confirm that we're providing public access to the meeting using the Zoom platform and we have advertised the meeting in free places physically in the town and on the town website and also electronically through people who have expressed the interest to do so so we have just you know quick agenda here but does anybody have any additions they want to make to that agenda we at some point today I just want to make an announcement that some point today the warning will be ready for the select board to come in and sign okay all right so that we it can go with it can go to the go to print all right great that sounds good it's good I'll be in there so the basically the the driving issue of that now as it started snowing again outside my window is the changing in the contract for sidewalk maintenance in the town music mountain maintenance has um agreed to give up their contract for that and John Gorton is willing to take that on and it's um so I I suppose we should agree that that's um a good move to take um excuse me doing does John Gorton have a name for his business or would I just say John Corton what is he does have four seasons property management yeah four seasons property management thank you so Julie do you have difference forms for John on file at the office there yep I do so I'll I'll type up his uh new contract today and that'll be ready as well he's doing it for the same money oh good he is doing it for the same money but he has may request as if he could get paid ahead a little bit because he needs to invest in equipment for his tractor he needs to invest in a snow blower so go ahead what is the amount of money that you pay every pay for the winter what is that Julie it's 2,500 maybe something like that it was a little more like 13 13,000 divided by six maybe by three no it should be six months oh yeah okay yeah because we pay monthly so like see if I said like we're looking at we're looking it up right now I'm sorry 2,200 a 2,250 and that's you through April does that does that cover the sanding and salting there too it does yeah is he got something for that or does he have to um he is gonna use a broadcaster for that okay yeah and he asked about that or using the salt from down at the town garage which I said right yeah that's that's the source of that we provide that for the community really right under his contract to provide is that correct right under his contract to yeah and we don't invite the community to come take buckets of salt but they're welcome to take sand for their own use not for uh you know not for business purpose right but but John has access to that for the sidewalks yes we provide the salt for that yeah yeah so he is um actually going to be purchasing two pieces of equipment there's a larger blower that goes on his bigger tractor that um which is a little oversized for some of the situations in town and then he's also going to buy a smaller walk behind snow throwers so um on smaller snow falls and for some of the more intimate corners around town he'll use that because his tractor is too big to get into to everywhere so if I said that he he asked to be paid some of that in advance so he could purchase more equipment that's correct yes okay thank you sorry to interrupt you um does does that include him uh not with this contract but he also takes care of the skating rink is that correct uh yes and then probably that's smaller um that this contract doesn't include that that's a separate deal with the um right I realize that yes but you're just wondering if that that equipment will help and take care of that I think it will I think his tractor was a little overkill for that and the smaller blower would be a a good tool for that and in addition he also asked if he could store his tractor in the old fire station because there it is right in the village and um relatively empty I talk with cooter and he's got no problems with that they've there's seems to be plenty of room in there so instead of leaving it somewhere under a tarp or or transporting it every time so I didn't see any problems with that yeah no I think that's all right yeah the only thing I worry about is the salt in there we always washed our fire trucks off when they were in there but I don't think there's any power or heat in there no there's there's not yeah yeah um so he may want to uh do something at the town garage I don't know if we should clear that with John or what that maybe he wants to you know wash off his equipment every now and then every now and then I have any salt load inside that building okay that's a good idea I don't know I mean you can ask John about it I don't really know what the ramifications would be on that how much he'd get really but yeah yeah I don't know um you know that or um make sure that that's cleaned out um at the end of the season in the building too and clean that out well yeah yeah because we don't want it to rust anything that could be rustable in there that's all yeah print this out make a note here um so the the amount he was looking at if he could get 5500 up front that would cover his expense which is basically he's taking over mid-month so the the half of this month and then um so it's it would be I think that's that's reasonable maybe you do I'm confused 5500 is more than I only have 2250 through April that's a monthly payment of 2250 oh per month okay pardon me I thought that was a whole minute yeah pardon me I'll fix it thank you right and so he would be asking for basically he's taking over mid-January so he'd be getting a January contract and then um February and then half of March would make that up and that's still totally in the in the window of winter and when we'll be needing the surface so I think that's um you know the money's in the budget I don't see any problem with doing that do you guys no not at all I mean I got a couple complaints on the side that they weren't loud but nothing too serious I know the last storm was kind of hectic anyway and and it's a little bit stressful heavy stuff yeah well that last storm was what prompted this transition because um Music Mountain um failed to materialize to take care of that he got overwhelmed with his other commitments and that's when we had had this conversation with John at the beginning of the season and and Music Mountain said they wanted to keep on with the contract and at that point I think John had had come and cleaned up when Mike couldn't get to it and so that's what prompted this um finally it was too much for Mike and he's like yeah let's let John have it so um so if we um I guess we'll have to draw up a separate contract for that but we can um all right so I don't think um there's nothing that we need to make a motion on right or or here we are we could I move that we um mid-season reassigned the sidewalk maintenance contract to four seasons property maintenance all in favor all right all right and then the second thing on our agenda is um a letter that we had Joan um right up on our behalf in support of the um a grant application of big town projects for the better places program which is a program that's been brought forth rather quickly in an attempt to um support local businesses and vibrancy in the village or during covid time to um enhance opportunities for people to to be outside and um access businesses and so this is um basically would be this is not something that I would be able to sign because it's um regarding a project that I personally am involved in but it's with the um the basically the improvement of the the streetscape and helping to define the sidewalks between the gallery building and the um p vine drive headed towards the new park down there so there were a couple typos in the letter that um Joan wrote and we clarified that it's the application to the better places program it's a grant application to that program so I clarified some of that that um wordage but um I couldn't get everything you said so Julie if you're there is it possible for you to to email me a copy of what it is that they're going to be doing with this project yep thank you very much so that I won't have to ask everybody to repeat it I'm sorry this is merely just a support letter for for you to get yeah there's no um there's no financial um right commitment from the town whatsoever it's just a letter of support and awareness of the project and that that's um it's called big town projects and okay well then in case if I just said go ahead I'm sorry big town projects incorporated is the non-profit organization that's applying to it the grant needed to be applied for by either a municipality or a non-profit organization okay and the goal of it was to improve this streetscape and help define the sidewalks at the north end of the village would that be correct to say or not yeah yeah that's uh that's a good good piece of it I could um I could read it for the record if you'd like since we have here I'm sorry to be a pest about this that's all right you're right as fast as people talk it's addressed to the 2021 better places program committee and attention um Richard Amor on behalf of the Rochester select board I'm pleased to provide this letter of support for big town project incorporated application to the better places program the plan site improvements your grant would fund will reconstruct and connect the green mountain bike shop the bike rental center and the new vellum on in and complete the transformation of a significant sector of Rochester's commercial district the project will improve traffic patterns and the experience of pedestrians and bicyclists that the appearance of the streetscape and address onsite drainage issues in addition the vellum on in renovation is turning an underutilized aging structure into a hostel and lodging facility which will create local jobs and enhance the growth of tourism in our valley together with the big town gallery the bike shop has been a vital center of commercial cultural and community activity in the village district for over 30 years the project dovetails nicely with Rochester's improvement efforts in the village since tropical storm Irene including the construction of a new park with river access the installation of a park and ride facility a ccd village centered designation a stormwater master plan and a detailed sidewalk planning study town-based nonprofit groups have been part of this effort too for example the recent renovation of the pierce hall community center rochester is partner with the rochester Randolph sports trail alliance rasta with the mission of developing and improving outdoor recreation opportunities such as the new vellum on trail the bike shop and gallery bring a diversity of visitors to our small town for outdoor recreation culture commerce and community gatherings the vellum on in and associated improvements described in their application will make rochester and vincenty and even more attractive and welcoming place to visit stay and enjoy so thank you wow okay that's why i can't i can't vote on it because i'm involved in in the the businesses that will be you know partially affected by this but it'll be uh so it's basically a letter um that the town is aware of the the the progress and patty of a question yeah um the end result physically what are we going to see as an end result of this great money um physically what you're going to see is the right now if you start from the bike shop and head south all the way to the old simpson building it's some solid pavement and kind of a free for all traffic access in and out of route 100 and what we're going to do is define two driveways in and out of those properties and and instead of just you know 100 yards of of driveway access and we're going to be removing some asphalt and greening up on our property so it'll be more um some outdoor outdoor spaces but you know pedestrian and and places for people to hang out you know versus um massive asphalt and cars parked everywhere so when do you estimate that this work would get done this would be happening this summer i think the grant when it's uh improved has to happen within three months so it's going to be this this spring and summer it's coming spring and summer okay yeah and this just a partial this is just a it's not um and it's not going to take the whole whole project over frank you had a question yeah uh is that is that subject to zoning uh what your improvement is you kind of have to let that out to zoning don't you or do you um i don't think so there's no modifications of the building structures there's we have been in touch with um detrans they're concerned about access in and out of route 100 and a crisp term that we don't need an 11 11 permit because we're not asking to add um access to route 100 we're actually defining and reducing access to route 100 so um it's not um and then in terms of it's been identified on our sidewalk plan as a needed section of clarification and the sidewalk while we're not talking about building a sidewalk right now but by defining the driveways and defining the edge of payment it will basically um bring to um visibility the existing sidewalk that is there that's been commandeered by vehicle traffic at this point i i think it's a it's a great project i'm not against it at all um i would suggest though that you um when you have a finalized plat of what you're going to do there that you would submit it to the town to the zoning and just let them really review of it yeah i mean i don't think it would be anything that would hold you back or anything else i just think it'd be nice to put it out in the open for everyone to see yeah and also um if that's something that when you do get that done and you do decide to do that i think it would be good to put a little summary of what's going to be happening in the in and when in the in the herald so that you know people could know that you know they don't necessarily all look at the town website or whatever you know yep no it's definitely would want to have the the finalized plans and clarity and yeah and and you know presenting it to the zoning we're working with v trans now it's like that's the advice we've been given as we got to start with the state and move back from the road because they really that's their you know the main concern there and then right yeah i know uh we talked with john and and jone and i we walked a village there the other day and we kind of like to have something when they do pave the town through again that we can step out to the edge of the right of way at least and we may even want to go further in a few places that we may have to do something on our own but i think it's it would behoove us to do it at that point yeah so it's like that's not happening till 2022 so we have this right to really identify and and in this corner of town at least i think this will make a big step towards clarifying what what's going on there you think they might also do some repairs to the the section of sidewalk that goes from park row in front of the park house and in front of the in front of the old catholic church etc i mean down to the catholic church in turn that is kind of yeah that's been identified on the on the master plan is a is a hot spot that needs to be fixed yeah that needs to be fixed we that i suppose you remember back to it's been a handful of years now when we did this townwide sidewalk study and there were some recommendations in there that well the debon king's recommendation was like oh we know it sounds intense but it's best to just do the whole town all at once you know and and get it done with and that's the most efficient way and that's um that's not the way that we're going to be able to deal with this you know so we when they put the new water line into the park house for the sprinkler system we took that opportunity to establish the sidewalk was from the park house going east up along the park you know so that we attacked that little chunk of the sidewalk that was another identified vague spot where it was just a cars and people blended so but yeah that section you're talking about is also another yeah okay thank you i'm speaking of which i also heard from my neighbor dian mckinley this morning is the park house generator is arriving i think it's today either today or tomorrow good yeah this last power outage really brought to the forefront the the need to have that hooked up well they've been fundraising for it for a long time and apparently walt wells told him that he was head of it and he told um dan and they were very very very excited because yeah especially now when they're locked down because they've got five covid cases yep so um so any likes i had to i had to recuse myself from from this one but i'll leave it up to you guys to you know approve or not the town's recognition of this project in your um um support of it i can make a motion that we do support the letter of support for um the big town organization to uh apply for the grant second i can second that no i'm favor okay all right thank you guys um and i think that's our barring the barring the typos though yeah right right we'll um have that improved and and actually had it signed by um john allen the select board assistant but i might maybe we should just say that um select board and have you guys sign it as a select board not the select does that make sense if they could you know make get rid of park and red and you know the typos and go ahead we'll consign for you so i'll um have that over at the um town office when they're going town um sign the warning that'll be over there too yeah all right okay so i think that's um that's all i had and um we'll see you guys again monday right yes thank you and i'll i'll call john gorton and let him know that um what that we agreed to accept his offer of cleaning up our village for us knowing again yes yes it is knowing again he's going to be he's going to be spending a lot of time down here if he's doing the school too he finally did get on the skate space the other day so that's good all right thank you guys okay later


Hi and welcome to the session, let us discuss the following question, question says, show that definite integral from 0 to a fx gx dx is equal to 2 multiplied by definite integral from 0 to a fx dx if f and g are defined as fx is equal to fa minus x and gx plus ga minus x is equal to 4. Let us now start with the solution. Now we are given that fx is equal to fa minus x and gx plus ga minus x is equal to 4. Now this implies gx is equal to 4 minus ga minus x. Now definite integral from 0 to a fx gx dx is equal to definite integral from 0 to a f a minus x 4 minus ga minus x dx. Clearly we can see fx is equal to fa minus x. So we can write fx as fa minus x and we know gx is equal to 4 minus ga minus x. So we can substitute 4 minus ga minus x for gx. Now this further implies definite integral from 0 to a fx gx dx is equal to definite integral from 0 to a f a minus x dx multiplied by 4 minus definite integral from 0 to a f a minus x multiplied by g a minus x dx. We can write this integral as difference of these two integrals. Now we know this integral can be written as 4 multiplied by definite integral 0 to a fx dx. Here we have used this property of definite integrals and we will write this integral as it is that is definite integral from 0 to a f a minus x g a minus x dx. Now let us consider integral from 0 to a f a minus x ga minus x dx. Now put a minus x equal to y. Now differentiating both the sides with respect to x we get minus dx is equal to dy. The new limits are when x is equal to 0, y is equal to a and when x is equal to a y is equal to 0. Now we can write this integral is equal to definite integral from a to 0 f y g y minus dy. We know a minus x is equal to y and dx is equal to minus dy. And as x varies from 0 to a y varies from a to 0. Now this integral is further equal to negative of definite integral a to 0 f y g y dy. Now it is further equal to definite integral from 0 to a f y g y dy. Here we have used this property of definite integral. Now using this property of definite integral this integral is further equal to definite integral from 0 to a f x g x dx. So we get definite integral from 0 to a f a minus x ga minus x dx is equal to definite integral from 0 to a f x dx dx. Now let us name this expression as 1. Now we will substitute this integral for this integral in expression 1. Now expression 1 becomes definite integral from 0 to a f x dx dx is equal to 4 multiplied by definite integral from 0 to a f x dx minus definite integral from 0 to a f x dx dx. Now this implies 2 multiplied by definite integral from 0 to a f x dx dx is equal to 4 multiplied by definite integral from 0 to a f x dx. Adding this integral on both the sides of this expression we get this expression. Now dividing both the sides by 2 we get definite integral from 0 to a f x dx dx is equal to 2 multiplied by definite integral from 0 to a f x dx. Now this completes our proof. So we can write hence proved this completes the session. Hope you understood the solution. Take care and have a nice day.


Should we read this too? Let's read these three pages as well We gotta read this this gang these next three pages, okay This is 1993 1993 1993, right? Fast forward to 2023, okay, we're 30 years From when this was written 30 years from when this was written Okay Gang we're gonna read this ready to nuns from The mother's superiors organization Geez that sister Pandora is doing such a great job that mother's superiors giving her all the juiciest assignments One of the nuns says yeah, I hear she gets humiliated twice a day So we better make sure we don't flop this flop this job Don't don't I know it, but where are we going to find a non-smoker in Caracas? We could snatch a child one of the masks or says No, no, no mother's superiors says it has to be an adult one of those Bellacosa politically correct liberal fascist anti-smokers but where but where in Incentual life-loving vice-ridden South America are we going to wait a minute look over there? She says First t-shirt, I can't believe how the men treat their women here the guy thinks And the women always concerned about looking pretty. It's so depressing He says look at this litter. No environmental consciousness at all and no speed bumps in the streets Socks with sandals Perfect, but what do they What do they care? They don't care about their children here. They let them play with toy guns Don't these people know about pro-social Instructional toys like he's coughing louder and louder. What insist in Sensitive Reactionaries they don't even respect my polite hints to put out their despicable Carcinogens. Oh, why did I ever leave Berkeley? The nuns are like bingo They kidnap the guy They kidnap him They tie him up in a chair. They've brought him to mother's superior.  He says There we go. Now observe what happens to the subject when we inject him with the serum LSM FP 100 Hot nuns. Oh Thank you. Thank you. Will it will it be a swift painless death? He says Beautiful artwork. Beautiful artwork. Give me. Give me. Give me. Give me that he says Yelling He wants to smoke See if we can get this thing focused There we go. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Snap He's free going for the cigarettes Snatches the smoke. Ah Nicotine sweet nicotine. I've come a long way, baby. Puff puff puff puff You see my sisters. You see Nothing can stop us now. Not the CIA. Not the KGB not even mum nothing just so long as That accursed Lester girls doesn't somehow get involved No, you're not losing your mind But maybe the lizard lady and this is the lizard lady by the way, this is the lizard lady the lizard lady How does she hope to conquer the world with fast-growing tobacco leaves?


The Cube presents HPE Discover 2022, brought to you by HPE. Welcome back to HPE Discover 2022. The Cube's continuous wall-to-wall coverage, Dave Vellante with John Furrier. Keith Basil is here as the general manager for the Edge Business Unit at SUSE, Keith. Welcome to theCUBE, man, good to see you. Great to be here, it's my first time here and I've seen many shows and you guys are the best. Thank you very much. Big fans of SUSE, we've had Melissa on several times. Let's start with what you guys are doing here at Discover. Well, we're here to support our wonderful partner, HPE. As you know, SUSE's products and services are now being integrated into the GreenLake offering so that's very exciting for us. Yeah, now, tell us about your background. It's quite interesting, you've been in the mix in some really cool places. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Probably the most relevant was, I used to work at Red Hat, I was a product manager working in security for OpenStack and OpenShift, working with DOD customers in the intelligence community. Left Red Hat to go to Rancher, started out there as VP of Edge Solutions and then transitioned over to VP of Product for all of Rancher and then obviously we know SUSE acquired Rancher and as of November 1st of 2020, I think it was. Yeah, yeah, time is flying. I came over, I still remained VP of Product for Rancher for Cloud Native Infrastructure and I was working on the Edge strategy for SUSE and about four months ago, we internally built three business units, one for the Linux business, one for Enterprise Container Management, basically the Rancher business and then the newly minted business unit was the Edge business and I was offered the role to be GM for that business unit and I happily accepted it. Very cool, I mean the market dynamics since the 2018 have changed dramatically, IBM bought Red Hat, a lot of customers said, hmm, let's see what other alternatives are out there. SUSE popped its head up, Melissa's been quite forthcoming about that and then you acquire Rancher in 2020, IPO in 2021, that kind of gives you another tailwind so there's a new market when you go from 2018 to 2022, it's a completely changed dynamic. Yes, and I'm going to answer your question from the Rancher perspective first because as we were at Rancher, we had experimented with different flavors of the underlying OS underneath Kubernetes, our Kubernetes offerings and we had, as I said, different flavors, we weren't really operating system people, for example and so when post acquisition, one of my internal roles was to bring the two halves of the house together, the philosophies together where you had a Cloud Native side in the form of Rancher very progressive leading innovative products with Rancher, with K3S for example and then you had really strong enterprise routes around compliance and security, secure supply chain with the enterprise grade Linux and what we found out was SUSE had been building a version of Linux called Slee Micro and it was perfectly designed for Edge and so what we've done over that time period since the acquisition is that we've brought those two things together and now we're using Kubernetes directives and philosophies to manage all the way down to the operating system and it is a winning strategy for our customers and we're really excited about that. And what does that product look like? Is that a managed service? Is it, how are customers consuming that? It could be a managed service, it's something that our managed service providers could embrace and offer to their customers but we have some customers who are very sophisticated who want to do the whole thing themselves and so they stand up Rancher at a centralized location in the Cloud, Green Lake for example, which is why this is very relevant and then that control plane if you will manages thousands of downstream clusters that are running K3S at these Edge locations and so that's what the complete stack looks like and so when you add the Linux capability to that scenario we can now roll a new operating system and new kernels, CVE updates, build that as an OCI container image registry format, right? Put that into a registry and then have that thing cascade down through all the downstream clusters up through a rolling window upgrade of the operating system underneath Kubernetes and it is a tremendous amount of value when you talk to customers that have this massive score that we're doing. What's the impact of that? Just take us through what happens next. Is it faster? Is it more performant? Is it more reliable? Is it processing data at the Edge? What's the impact of the customer? Yes, the answer is yes today. So let's actually talk about one customer that we highlighted in our keynote which is Home Depot. So as we know, Kubernetes is on fire, right? It is the technology everybody's after. So by being in demand, the skills needed, the people shortage is real and people are commanding very high salaries and so it's hard to attract talent is the bottom line and so using our software and our solution and our approach, it allows people to scale their existing teams to preserve those precious human resources and that human capital so that now you can take a team of seven people and manage, let's say, 3,000 downstream stores. Yeah, it's like the old SRE model for DevOps. Correct. It's not servers, they're managing one to many clusters. Correct, so you've got the cluster, the lifecycle of the cluster. You already have the application lifecycle with the classic DevOps and now what we've built and added to the stack is going down one step further, clicking down, if you will, to managing the lifecycle of the operating system. So you have the SUSE Enterprise build chain, all the value, the goodness, compliance, security, again, all of that comes with that build process and now we're hooking that into a cloud-native flow that ends up downstream in our customers. So what I'm hearing is your edge strategy is not some kind of bespoke, hey, I'm going after edge, it connects to the entire value. Yes, it's a great point. We want to reuse the existing philosophies that are being used today. We don't want to create something that new because that's really the point and leverage that we get by having these teams do these things at scale. Another point I'm going to make here is that we've defined the edge in the three segments. One is the near edge, which is the realm of the telecommunications companies. So those use cases and profiles look very different. They're almost data center light, right? So you've got regional locations, central offices where they're standing up gear, classic 2U machines, right? So things you can try from HPE, for example. And then once you get on the other side of the access device, right? The cable modem, the router, whatever it is, you get into what we call the far edge. And this is where the majority of the use cases reside. This is where the diversity of use cases presents itself as well. Also security challenges. Security challenges, yes. And we can talk about that following in a moment. And then finally, if you look at that far edge as a box, right? Think of it as a layer two domain, right? A network. Inside that location, on that network, you'll have industrial IoT devices. Those devices are too small to run a full-blown operating system such as Linux and Kubernetes in the stack, but they do have software on them, right? So we need to be able to discover those devices and manage those devices and pull data from those devices and do it in a cloud-native way. So that's what we call the tiny edge. And I stole that name from the folks over at Microsoft. Kate and Edrick are leading a project upstream called AUKRY, aka RI. And we are very much heavily involved in AUKRY because it will discover the industrial IoT devices and plug those into a local Kubernetes cluster running at that location. And Home Depot would fit into the near edge, is that correct? So each Home Depot store, just to bring it home, is a far edge location. And they have over 2,600 of these locations. It's a far edge. You would put near edge. Far edge, yes, far edge. OK, near edge is like Metro. Think of Metro, yeah, Metro. Communication service providers, MSOs, multi-service operators, those guys are the near edge, yes. Don't you think there's some of, John's been asking all week about machine learning and AI. In that tiny edge, we think there's going to be a lot of AI inferencing in real time. And it actually is going to need some kind of lighter weight platform. How do you fit into that? So going in this model I just described, if you go back and look at the SUSECON 2022 demo keynote that I did, we actually on stage stood up that exact stack. So we had a single Intel Nook running Slee Micro, as we mentioned earlier, running K3S. And we plugged into that device, a USB camera, which is automatically detected. And it loaded Ocari and gave us a driver to plug it into a container. Now, to answer your question, that is the point in time where we bring in the ML and the AI, the inference and the pattern recognition. Because that camera, when you showed the SUSE plush doll, it actually recognized it and put a QR code up on the screen. So that's where it all comes together. So we tried to showcase that in a complete demo. Last week, I was here in Vegas for an event, ADEP, Amazon, and it was put on called RIMARS, Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics, and Space. But basically to me, it was an industrial edge show. The space is the ultimate. Like, glam to the edge is like, you're doing stuff in space. That's pretty edgy, so to speak, pun intended. But the industrial side of the edge we think accelerate with machine learning. And with these kinds of new portable, I won't say flash compute or just like connected power sources, software, the industrial is going to move really fast. We've been kind of in a snail's pace at the edge, in my opinion. What's your reaction to that? Do you think we're going to see a mass acceleration of growth at the edge, industrial, physical, basically physical, the physical world? Yes, first I agree with your assessment, okay? Wholeheartedly, so much so that it's my strategy to go after the tiny edge space and be a leader in the industrial IoT space from an open source perspective. So yes, so a few things to answer your question. We do have K3S in space. We have a customer partner called Hypergiant where they've launched satellites with K3S running in space. Same model, that's a far-aged location, probably the farthest edge location that we've had. Deep batch, deep space. Here at HPE Discover, we have a business unit called SUSE-RGS, Rancher Government Services, which focuses on the U.S. government and DOD and IC, right? It's a little bit of the world that I used to work in in my past career. Brandon Gulla, the CTO of that unit, gave a great presentation about what we call the tactical edge. And so the same technology that we're using on the commercial and the manufacturing side. Like the Jedi contract, the tactical and military edge. Yes, so imagine some of these military grade industrial IoT devices in a disconnected environment. The same software stack and technology would apply to that use case as well. So basically the tactical edge is life. Our livings, we're humans, we're at the edge. Or it's maintenance, right? So maybe it's pulling sensors from aircraft, Humvees, submarines, and doing predictive analysis on the maintenance for those items, those assets. All these different edges, they underscore the diversity that you were just talking about, Keith, and we also see a new hardware architecture emerging, a lot of arm-based stuff. Just take a look at what Tesla's doing at the tiny edge. Keith, Basil, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. Great to have you, awesome story. Okay, and thank you for watching. This is Dave Vellante for John Furrier. This is day three of HPE Discover 2022. You're watching theCUBE, the leader in enterprise and emerging tech coverage. We'll be right back.


Good afternoon, Pastor David. How are you doing, John? Welcome everybody to Unfiltered. Pastor, this is something I really don't hear from the pulpit taught about, but I wanted to get your thoughts on those who may have gotten pregnant out of wedlock. They've engaged in fornication. They get pregnant to have a baby. Is that a reason to get married? No. Next? No, of course not. I've shared with this fellowship before that there are actually worse things than having committed the sin of fornication and becoming pregnant. Something that would magnify that or bring even more difficult, produce a more difficult situation would be to, on the basis of being made pregnant or becoming a pregnant couple, getting married because you already have made one of the biggest mistakes as well as sin to great sin. You've already done that and it can very often magnify beyond that. So I don't believe that becoming pregnant is the reason somebody should get married. If they're a Christian couple, they need to understand that they have committed a sin in the act of fornication. They need to understand that. They need to really understand and repent from that and it doesn't make it right or erase it just because you got married. It's still a sin and unless it's repented of, it can have different kinds of produce different kinds of things in your marriage that you don't necessarily need. I've had people, young people who have approached me John over the years who have used that as the reason for marriage and I've never been the pastor who will say to them, well let's get you married and then we'll fix the problem because whatever it is that led them to that kind of intimacy needs to be understood to some degree and whatever the circumstances were that produced the environment that allowed them to involve themselves very often without any sense of shame or guilt over that those things have to be addressed and so I have on a few occasions over the years been asked to perform a ceremony but I always will say no. What you need first is you need to have some premarital counseling. You need to learn what the foundations of marriage are, how to have a successful marriage and things of that nature. You need to have those things discussed in order that you can grow in your understanding of these things and then when you go through the counseling and get married you're going to have a foundation that you can build on and so there are times that people the only thing that has made them stay together has been because of their sex that they were having with one another. They didn't have anything else in common they just had you know a mutual attraction in that way for one another and that certainly isn't the basis of why a person should get married. Is it often times pastor the mentality is quote-unquote two wrongs will make a right in that sense where they're well we'll just fix it by getting married. That's not really the ultimate answer. You know sometimes someone will become pregnant they become aware that they are and they to save face or to do their best to not hurt their family they may have their marriage they may get married because of those things but I would counsel against that I would I would say you know you you've made your decision you've entered into this and you really need to be prepared and you really need to learn some of the reasons why you went into that why you did that and things like that. I mean you're building on the wrong foundation so pregnancy in and of itself is not the the the right reason to get married. Well pastor thank you so much for sharing on that that's a a topic that somebody had actually wrote in about in in response to the love and lust and and said well we've I'm already pregnant we've gotten married and not quite sure if this was the right thing that we and and sometimes the the children will suffer in all they will and so so I thought that was a good question that was actually written in and wanted to get your perspective on it and so well you guys I hope you enjoyed that pastor David thank you so much excuse me guys I have church services coming up Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. yep and may I share what book we're getting into. Yeah we're going into Romans I'll do it we're gonna go into Romans we're in chapter one and we're gonna look at the first 15 verses of the book of Romans it's Romans is called the gospel according to Paul it's a fantastic book and I I haven't taught it to our fellowship in many years and so I look forward to it. It's going to be a good study very fruitful and I want to invite you guys to invite your friends and family come out and join us and then again to join us on Sundays at 8 30 and 10 45 as you're taking us through almost done with Mark. Well it's going to take a while to get through it but yeah this upcoming Sunday we continue our series through Mark we're in chapter 15 and we're going to continue looking at a few of the verses that relate to the crucifixion of Jesus and I begin to introduce what have been called the seven last sayings of Christ and I've already caused myself to tear up just by reading and and considering those last words. It's a great it's a great it's a great study. Invite you guys to come out and join us and then one final reminder anybody that serves within our ministry on Saturday February 25th we're going to have at 9 a.m. a servants servants meeting where we get together and we hear from you pastor Q&A if they're serving actively serving. It's not an open meeting is for those who are actively serving and so come join us it's going to be in the mini chapel it's a great time of Q&A and worship and pastor gives us a devotion and so hope for those that serve can come and join us. Pastor thank you again so much God bless you guys we'll see you soon.

I've lined up a real good score This I want to hear about okay But here's a setup There's a couple of dozen crates of army binoculars stored in a little building down in a freight yard Yeah, it's surplus stuff that they're selling the people. There's a real big demand for them now Well, a building there in can be entered by a little window at the back near the roof A window that's just big enough for a kid to crawl through Now does it sound so funny? Where did you get this kid? I picked him up just a few days ago. He's okay. What's the rest of the paper? I'm renting a truck back it right up to the building the kid crawls through the window then lets you in that's right What about the law? There's a watchman. I've got his movement time We can load the truck and be out of there before he finishes his rounds When do you and your little partner go into action tonight? Okay, mr. He's going to me.

Yes, sir Detective Fulton from headquarters has just left my office. Ken Fulton? That's right I've assigned you to work on occasion. He's here now, mr. Adams. Good. I'll talk to you later. All right, sir Hello, Ken. Hi, Jim. Good to see you. Well, pull up a chair. Thanks I suppose you came over here to show me that Christmas tie Well, that was one of the reasons The other ones were robbery that took place last night down the freight yard. What's the story, Ken? Small warehouse was broken into 10 cases. The binoculars were stolen a watchman was slug How does the FBI figure in a case? The binoculars were army property. I see. You got any leads? Well, the ground was soft in front of the warehouse One of our lab men got a good impression of the tires of the truck that was used You've been done there yet? No, no. I was just been on the case myself. Oh, what about the watchman? Was he badly hurt? Well, he's in the city hospital. Did he see the thieves? He hasn't given two coherent statements yet. He mentioned something about a kid being there That's about all Well, Ken, honey, I think we should work this one. Any way you say I suppose we divide up our activities and save some time. Okay. Okay Then why don't you get on to the warehouse and see what you can pick up there? I'll go out and interview with that watchman at the city hospital Norma Norma Wake up, will you? How'd the job go? What do you care? What? But you didn't even stay awake to find out if it worked or not. Oh look, I was up all night If you'd had any consideration, you would have called.  Oh, you stop Now How did go? Okay Tell me about it. Will you I knocked off 10 cases of binoculars. That was all I could fit on a truck How'd the kid work out? A little too good. What do you mean? He slugged the watchman bad.  I got no intention of meeting him I had all I wanted that little guy. What kept you so long. I had to get rid of the stuff with a fence Yeah, what'd you get for it? 3,500 3,500. Yeah Oh, baby, you must be dead tired. Let me fix you a nice breakfast and put you to bed You busy jim. Oh, hello, ken. How'd you make out? I think I picked up a couple of pretty good clues Not good The thieves gained entry to the warehouse by climbing through a small window. Yeah There's plenty of soot on that windowsill Whoever climbed in managed to leave a set of excellent prints Very considerate of them I also picked up some shreds of wool that were caught in woodwork They look like they've been torn from a sweater. What did you do with the evidence, ken? Turn it over to mr. Adams. He's sending it on to your laboratory. Oh good Say, how'd you make out? Well, I finally got to talk to the watchman. Give you anything? I think so. Yes So what about that kid he saw? Well, he just got a fleeting glimpse of him before he was slugged By the kid? That's right. He said he'd seen him before though That he was one of the gang of youngsters that played around the freight yards once in a while Did he know his name or where he lived? No, but he knows one of the other kids in the gang He gave me his name in the school that he attends Say did the watchman give you anything on the truck? No Did he see anyone else? No, the slugging occurred too quickly for him to see anything but the boy And that kid becomes real important. That's right, ken Maybe you better go over there. Okay. And if I get anything that looks good, ken I'll call you at headquarters A little after-tune Afternoon. Yeah Just sleep well, honey. Yeah, you're fine. Can I get you anything? Uh, not right now, thanks. Well, if you need anything, dear, just let me know What's the joke? Oh, there's no deal I don't get it. From bum to king in one easy lesson. What are you talking about? That 3,500 sure made a big man out of me. Oh, no, honey, stop that talk. You know that it Oh, that must be the delivery. What delivery? Well, while you were sleeping this morning. I went out. I bought a few things Oh, like what? Oh some dresses and hats. Just where do you see him? Mr. Prentice live here. That's right, sonny. Come right in. Okay Where's your packages?

He's got a gun. That's right, lady Where'd you get that cap pistol? I bought it with the 20 bucks you gave me If you think it's a cap pistol, just make a bad move and I uh, think you'll change your mind Phil, take that gun away from him Phil! He ain't got the nerve.
