My name is Rajnesh Singh, and I'm here today to talk about ICT in Asia. What's become very apparent is that we have some ICT leaders in the region, but all of them seem to have one common thread, and they're trying to harness the power of ICTs in getting to whatever goals and objectives they've set themselves as a nation. The challenges are manifold. On the one hand, we have either basic infrastructure or very low levels of infrastructure. There's usually issues around affordability. So what do we do about it? Obviously a very key component to all this is what sort of ICT policies exist in a country, how they allow empowerment of not just the people, but businesses and the larger ecosystem around it. They can be the catalyst. They can provide that sort of enabling environment which is required to foster change, ICT development, and as well as entrepreneurship. And that means having relevant ICT policies, having a light touch regulatory approach instead of having a very heavy-ended approach. There has to be a multi-stakeholder environment that needs to be fostered and encouraged. And again, government is perhaps the best position to facilitate that multi-stakeholder environment. And then of course the third one is the issue of capital itself, where the money is going to come from. I think there is some scope for private and public partnerships to make that happen. People who have had success, and I think you see this around the world, once they have made their money, they like to give back. And counting on some of these people, not necessarily from their country itself, but from anywhere around the world, they I'm sure will be able to, will be happy to come and mentor people and try and inspire them a bit more to be the best they can be. And in doing so, help with socioeconomic development and development all around.


This is Dennis McMahon and welcome to Positively Vermont. And my guest today is Ruby Baker, who is the Executive Director of Cove, the community of Vermont elders. And that organization has some very interesting and exciting programs that she is gonna tell us about and how you and your associates can get involved in some of these vital projects that are going on right now in Vermont during this pandemic time. And first of all, tell us a little bit about yourself, Ruby. Well, thank you so much for having me here, Dennis. I'm Ruby Baker. I've born and raised here in Vermont on the edge of the Northeast Kingdom, where I still live with my family. And I've been the Executive Director at Community of Vermont Elders for three years as of today. In fact, today is my anniversary. So thank you, thank you. It's been a really exciting and interesting three years, just working and getting to know about everything that's going on at Cove and all across the state to help older adults age comfortably and with intention and decision. So I've loved, maybe not every minute, but most of the minutes of my three years here. That's great. It's been a very exciting time and we'll get into some of those aspects. But also tell us about Cove. What is it, how it got started? Give us a little bit of the history. Yeah, so Cove has been around since the early 80s. We are a nonprofit organization that was initially started to fill a gap that was identified here in Vermont, really related to the need for grassroots advocacy that represented older people. There's a lot of advocacy in our world still today that represents businesses that serve people, service industries that serve people. And it's much harder to find organizations and entities that represent the people themselves. And so that was really initially the mindset behind Cove and where we started from. So then fast forward 20, 30 years, here we are now, we still are doing that grassroots advocacy. We work with all our partners, both older adults themselves and service providers to make sure that we're striking a good balance there. We've added in that time to what we offer, recognizing that a natural outgrowth of advocacy and policy work is education, understanding what's available to you and how to be involved, understanding how to protect yourself because government and businesses and service providers can't do it all for you. And really wrapping our heads around the concept that aging is something that's happening to all of us, right? We're all growing older. And if we're lucky, we will all become old. So how do you approach that with intention? How do you grow old on purpose? And that's sort of my war cry is, yes, we're going to do it. So let's do it on purpose. Let's grow old on purpose. Let's make those decisions now that give us the best chance we can have of being the older adult we want to be, whatever that is. Well, in terms of demographics, doesn't Vermont have a rapidly growing aging population or a population of aged people compared to the rest of the region? I may have imagined that, but I recall hearing some stories about that. You're not imagining it. Vermont is, I believe at this point, we are sort of in a bed heat with New Hampshire and Maine to see who will be the oldest state in any given week. Vermont is, I think, the second oldest state right now and the most rapidly aging state, all of New England actually is on the older side as compared to some of the other parts of the country. But Vermont is certainly much older.  It is. Yeah, so, you know, when you look at the oldest counties in the state, the oldest county in Vermont, I believe is Essex County and the Northeast Kingdom more generally is the oldest region of the state, but the state itself has a rapidly aging demographic. Which is great. What particular problems does that present? The rapidly growing and the volume of aging population, what particular problems does that present right now? Well, I try to wrap my head around that question and redirect it a little bit because I don't like to think about the aging demographic as a problem. It's not something we need to fix. It's just something that's true. And so I guess I wouldn't phrase it as we've got a problem and we need to fix it, but I will say that there are certainly different types of challenges at all different age levels, right? Young children, some of the challenges we're facing are nutrition and access to childcare. As we get older, we're facing issues in workforce, workforce development, educational opportunities. So for the older population, a lot of the challenges are centered around housing, technology access, stability and income, safety. And it's funny. I say safety and a lot of people chuckle because Vermont's not generally compared to the rest of the world. It's not dangerous to live here or we don't think of it. But there are a lot of pieces of safety that go unnoticed and it can be anything from having appropriate modifications to your home to keep you physically safe from falling. It can be mental health. It can be, and it can be the things that we more commonly associate with safety like abuse and fraud and scam and exploitation. So really those are the big issues. And I think it all ties back to this commitment that Vermont has made to aging in place or aging in the community and how do we create communities that are well designed to give access to older adults to affordable housing, to financial stability, to medical care, mental health care. So I guess that sort of answers your question. Well, I like the way you phrased it positively, not that it's a problem, it's an opportunity to get people in touch with services. So that's really a very positive spin or a positive aspect of your organization. And that's what we like to emphasize positive, positively Vermont. And in line with that, I've gone through your website. It's a very good website. And we're gonna put that on the screen here to let people know how they can get in touch with you and a number of projects I see are involved. But let's talk about this aging in Vermont resource guide. First of all, tell us about that. So aging in Vermont is, I would say, it is my favorite thing that I have done in the last year. When the pandemic hit, we realized that we needed to pivot. A lot of the work that we had been doing up until that point was going into communities and offering presentations, offering one-on-one support in person with people. And that's part of what has made COVID so effective over the years. And that was taken away, we couldn't do that. So then we decided, we realized that we needed to shift how we are thinking about the education and access piece of what we do. And this idea had sort of been on the back burner for a while is, man, wouldn't it be great to have a resource guide that really was comprehensive, that was updated regularly so it didn't get out of date. That didn't, it wasn't just a phone book, right? I don't wanna give everyone a phone book. We've got the internet, you can search something. Everyone's got a phone book in there. But I wanted to provide information about how to handle, information about what services are out there and what they do and why they're important. And so we pulled together an incredible team of volunteers and staff members to design and publish in nine weeks, if you can believe it. We designed and published an 84-page resource guide and directory. The directory, these of course captures most of the biggest services, the statewide services, the biggest service providers in the regions. And then the other 60 pages is really, how to keep yourself safe? How to, what are the components of an estate plan? How do you advocate if you're interested in taking an advocacy role in something? So really just the information that we think adults need to be able to access as we grow older to live our best lives in our communities. And I would say that we tried very hard to make sure that that information was specific to Vermont. Because Vermont's special, we're unique, we have great programs and we want people to know what they are. Let me ask you this, is that, I know it's available online. I saw it on the website today and I suppose you can also take that and Xerox it. Are there any physical copies of this that you have? How else about that? If I rotated my computer, you would see that I've got about a thousand copies sitting here in my office. Anybody who would like a physical copy can either email me or if there's a form on our website that you could fill out and we'll send you one in the mail. The online version is you can certainly download it and print it, but we've already paid for the printing. So just let us send you one. And then of course you can just view it online as well and it's a fully navigable. What about like senior centers? There's one right across the street for me and for community groups like neighborhood preservation organizations, can they get it in bulk? Absolutely, we've been delivering them all over the state for the last six months or nine months I guess at this point and we're still dropping off deliveries. I think we brought 200 up to Agewell last week. We've got some more up to Cider. So certainly anybody who's interested in having multiple copies should certainly contact us. We sent a copy out to every library in the state so that they could have one. But yeah, certainly just get in contact with us and we will happily provide you with as many copies as you want. We want this out there in the world. Excellent and let's have, I know we're gonna put it on the video but tell us your address in case people are just listening. Yeah, absolutely. My email address is rubyruvyb as in Baker at vermontelders.org or you could email cove at vermontelders.org, COV. What about the mailing address in Montpelier? Our physical mailing address. Or our mailing address is P.O.Box1276 Montpelier, Vermont, 05602. Excellent. Now that we got all that out of the way, I wanna go into some of your specific projects that are going on right now. Let's talk about hearing aids. Tell us about that project. Yeah. I didn't know much about hearing aids when I first started that cove. And since I've been here, my father has gotten hearing aids and I've been learning more and more about just how challenging that the experience of hearing loss can be for an individual. And then in the course of our advocacy work, I discovered that there was a group that had been working to make sure that hearing aids were included in insurance. But they've been working on that for, I think 20 years at this point. It's been a long, long fall. And so we decided we needed to be involved in this. As you might imagine, the rates of hearing loss increased dramatically with age. Certainly there are many, many young people who have hearing loss in Vermont. In fact, there are over 70,000 Vermonters with hearing loss of all people. But those rates do increase as you get older and there is no insurance covered for hearing aids. And the piece that really burned me up when I discovered it is that Vermont is the only state in New England that does not have an insurance mandate. And that was the moment where I said, that's wrong. This is wrong. We knew it was wrong already. And we're behind everybody else. We think we are progressive, but we're behind us. And we need to catch up and we need to make sure that those 70,000 could be even as many as 120,000 Vermonters have access to the hearing aids that they need to live a high quality life. So we've been working together with this coalition which is called Here Here Vermont. And we have a petition out there if people are interested in signing it. It's on our Facebook page. It's on our website. It's been circulating the state. We have over 1200 signatures on this petition so far. People sharing their personal stories and experiences and really recognizing how vital this is. So I would encourage you to sign the petition asking that this be taken up. And then I would also say that right now there's a bill. We have a bill, age 266. Yes, age 266 mandates hearing aid coverage through as many avenues as it is possible for Vermont to mandate insurance coverage. So of course, well, maybe people don't know but Vermont doesn't have the authority to mandate certain categories of insurance coverage. But for the ones that we do, they're included in this bill. And the bill would set us on a path to have coverage for as many Vermonters as possible within the next several years. So it's really exciting. And the bill right now, we're just waiting for a hearing. So if you believe in this, if our viewers believe in this please call your legislators. If we get a hearing this year, that makes everything move a little bit faster. And this is really what we're pushing for right now. Start the conversation. Excellent. Who's sponsoring that, that bill age 266? Representative Wood is the lead sponsor on the bill and currently the bill is waiting for its hearing in House Health Care Committee with Representative Flippert. Okay, excellent. Now tell us a little bit about your work on email scams and other kinds of things that are plaguing not only senior citizens, but pretty much everybody. Tell us about your work on that here. Yeah, so a huge body of our work and most of our staff time is dedicated really towards this idea around safety and specifically we do a lot of work on scam and fraud prevention. We have a program called the Senior Medicare Patrol that is specifically dedicated to identifying and preventing and responding to instances of Medicare fraud, error and abuse. And I guess the piece that always just blows my mind when I think about Medicare fraud is that the latest, the most recent statistic I heard is that over $120 billion every year is lost to Medicare fraud. And while this isn't a direct cost to a Medicare beneficiary, our tax dollars pay for that. And so this is a cost to all Americans is that $120 billion in fraud. We also expand beyond Medicare fraud and do a lot of work around more general scam fraud and exploitation, looking at things like dating fraud and identity theft and other types of insurance scams. We work on really educating older adults to help identify. We have a wonderful team, a theater troupe based out of Berwick Theater in Burlington. And they are all older adults themselves and they write skits based on their own personal experiences with scam and fraud and pizzas that they've learned. And they really use humor and honesty to help people wrap their heads around what could happen and help them see how sneaky these scammers are. They're professionals, they're professional scam artists and they're going to do their best to steal from you. So we do a lot of education around that. Our savvy seniors are incredible and they've managed to bring everything online. We had a wonderful presentation by them a couple of weeks ago in UT, they're skits and videos on our website and on our YouTube channel as well. It's great. Let me ask you about this. I have to put my phone off the hook when I do this because normally it's ringing with the scam calls and the spam calls and all that despite numerous complaints of the Federal Trade Commission and various letters to officials. These things are coming in rampant. They're with the caller ID fraud, the spoofing where it looks like it's a neighbor calling are you involved in that activity? Preventive activity, tell us about it. Yeah, we partner with the Attorney General's office on a lot of network because really they have the authority statewide to work on that. But I will say that again and again, we run into this issue and a lot of these calls originate outside of the United States or outside of the jurisdiction of our Attorney General. And so we don't have the ability to stop them. In many cases, by attempting to steal from people they're already breaking the law. So we don't have much ability to stop them. And what we tell people is to hang up. Don't talk to them. Don't engage in that conversation. Every time you talk to somebody who is a potential scammer, they are gathering information about you. They may hear your dog barking background and next time they call with a pet based scam. They may hear a name spoken in the background while you're talking to them. And then they know that they can call using that name or trying to connect with that person. So don't talk to them. Just hang up the phone. They are professionals and they're gathering every piece of information they can about you to customize their approach. And so that that's the advice we give to people. Great. Well, there's another thing that's going on apparently and it's very timely right now. And your organization is working to prevent it. The vaccine situation. Tell us about that. Other than some of the vaccine scams going on and that kind of thing. Yes. There have been vaccine scams happening across the country and some of them are related to like the Ventbright and other ticket sales sites that claim that the site grant brings, but someone is using the site to claim that they can sell you a ticket for a vaccine. You do not have to pay for a vaccine in Vermont. And if you have questions all of the Vermont Department of Health do not pay for a vaccine. Do not pay to jump ahead in line. That's not real. And all older Vermonters. In fact, everyone over the age of 40 is eligible for a vaccine as of today. So, if you are interested in getting a vaccine call the Vermont Department of Health website. I mean, call their phone line or get on the website or connect with your local pharmacies and go through those proper channels. If someone contacts you and says that they have a way to jump the line or that's not real. Well, another thing maybe you could help us with now is this is a boom in it. And that is remote learning and support remote learning. In fact, many organizations now are running meetings exclusively on Zoom. And I'm sure that everybody including senior citizens needs help with that. Tell us what you're doing in that area. Oh, so many things, Dennis. We've been doing so many things around technology access and adapting to this new world of remote interaction. I would say that the first thing that we recognize that we needed to do is we needed to help older adults who had never used Zoom or Webex or Google Meet or any of the other platforms needed to help them figure out how to do that. And so early early on, I think in April or May of last year one of our staff members, a couple of our staff members started being available to do one-on-one coaching. Everything from I will sit on the phone with you and I will help you move your mouse to the right place. We can do screen share and we've even had some circumstances where two people get together in the same room, fully mask and work through how to use your device whether it be a tablet or a computer or a smartphone so that you can access. And another piece that was really nerve-wracking for a lot of people, maybe it wasn't downloading the software or logging in, but just feeling unsure of the... Oh, what's the word I'm looking for? The sort of the protocol, right? How do you, what are the behavioral... The rules, yeah. Yeah, what are the rules of this new remote society? So we put together some videos and trainings and to help people understand how to mute, how do you have to show your video? How do you, what are the rules of engagement here that we're starting to identify and understand? So we've done a lot of that one-on-one work. We also moved our educational presentations online. So every two weeks we have a Zoom call and then it's put up on our YouTube channel and we cover everything from presentations from the Posing Control Center and the Federal Trade Commission, all the way to, we've had theatrical performances and readings. Last week we had an Army Chair Height with a retired... She used to work as a perk ranger in a national park. So we've had a wide range of different types of presentations that range from the fun and silly all the way to the very serious and sometimes scary topics that we need to be thinking about and addressing. So those happen every other week and you can find them on our Facebook, you can join our mailing list and you'll have an update about them every week, every other week. And then I guess the last piece that was a smaller piece but still just very exciting to start thinking about these types of opportunities. We were talking with someone who had a young son in high school who was feeling very isolated. And we said, you know, gosh, wouldn't it be great if we could connect these isolated young high school students with isolated older adults and they could share thoughts and experiences and feelings. And it's not one person doing the other a favor, it's just mutual connection. So we set up a pilot program called Connecting over the summer where we went through a training and a pairing process and we paired people who then had a weekly call one hour every week where they just talked about things. We had a group that was, we had a pair that was really interested in Eastern European dance. We had a pair that is really interested in climate change and they connected with each other. And I think all of our pairs at this point have remained in contact with each other throughout the year even after our pilot program ended. So we're doing that again in the summer to bring older adults and younger adults together to think about and to bridge generations. We're all humans and we all have similar experiences that we wanna share and talk about and think about. So I'm really excited about it. I think it's so cool that someone who grew up with her grandmother in town and really had the opportunity to hear those stories and understand some of the history behind them. It was incredible. That's amazing. Your organization really seems to be getting ahead of a lot of things. That idea of isolation caused by the pandemic. I've seen stuff, I followed this very closely particularly with studies that are going on now in Britain which had up before us there are massive studies coming out of the UK and also coming out of Canada about the impacts on everyone particularly senior citizens and other communities about the isolation caused by this. And of course the studies are there. They're very frightening in a way. They're medically based and psychologically based but the need is doing something about it. And you seem to be addressing that. Well, I would say Dennis that while we're we've all had a taste of isolation in the past year but this was an issue long before the pandemic for older adults. And we've known for a long time that this is a problem that this is something that we need to be addressing as a society. I think the Gates Foundation came out with a study almost 10 years ago at this point that again medically based that was able to prove that isolation is worse for you than smoking 15 cigarettes a day and kills more people than diabetes. It is so damaging to our well being and it's such a complicated issue that as a society across the country and here in Vermont we're not entirely sure how to deal with it but I think everyone having had the chance to feel isolation in the last year helps. That's amazing how you're on top of everything and it must be really challenging which leads me to one of the most important questions we always ask guests on positive leave Vermont. What do you need? What do you need from the general public, the legislature, anyone viewing us or community organizations? How can people help you help them? I need so many things. I can't even begin to list them all that is what I need most and it's not me that needs it. What we all need most is to acknowledge that we're aging and to think about it and to accept it and to age on purpose. We all need to do that. We need to plan for our own older lives but in terms of Cove, in terms of our specific work that we need help with, I would say that there are several ways that people can help. Being informed is a huge part of it. Again, we're an advocacy and education organization so sign up for our mailing list to become a member of Cove and we will help keep you informed so that you know what's going on and where the pressure points are that you can become involved. How to volunteer with us? How to share information and engage in our programming? So I would encourage anyone who is interested to go to our website and sign up to be a member, sign up for our mailing list, get a copy of our resource guide. All of those pieces are really important and then more specifically for people who are interested in advocacy piece and that grassroots movement to support older adults across the state for a couple of ways to be involved. If you're specifically inspired by the hearing aid coverage, which I am and I can talk for the entire time about just this piece, contact your legislators and let them know that we need the hearing now. We need to be able to tell them our story this year, not session, not five years from now. We need to pass this bill and if not now when. So contact your legislators, sign the petition, tell us your story, write letters to the editor, be involved and more broadly if you're interested in engaging in policy, we have a small group that meets every week called Global and we are, we co-supports this small group of advocates to be engaged in the issues they care about. A lot of people say, oh, older adults are only advocating for nursing homes and healthcare. Well, older adults are also human beings who have personal interests and things that you care about. So we have someone in our team who cares a lot about climate change and advocates on issues of climate change and we help him find the right people to access, we help him follow bills and provide the scheduling and then we talk through issues and how to be engaged in them. And there are many, many issues like that that go far beyond someone might pigeonhole as an older adult issue. And so we care a lot about human beings as their whole selves. That's great. That's wonderful. And of course there are ways that foundations various other people can contribute financially or they're open to that. And... Oh yes, yes. If you wanna give us money, please give us money. But there are so many ways to be involved in this. I always liked to bring that up at some point. That always means we're getting near the end. And this really has been a very interesting conversation and certainly to be followed up, I urge people to take a look at the website and I'm sure Ruby's available to be contacted if you or your organization want more information or to volunteer and assist in any way. So thank you very much Ruby. Thank you very much Ruby. And my guest today has been Ruby Baker, the executive director of COVE, community of Vermont elders. And thank you so much for having me Dennis. Thank you. You've been really, really a great, bring us up to date on so many issues. So thank you all. And thank you for watching Positively Vermont. This is Dennis McMahon.


The school supervision retreat focused mainly on the collective aspirations of those charged with the supervision of the education sector, fostered through dialogue, collaboration and a shared vision in order to shape the future of education within St. Lucia and the wider region. Continuous leadership development is being seen as the best approach in ensuring the achievement of a more dynamic and forward-thinking education system that would be down to a better administration of schools. Held under the theme, empowering our leaders, transforming our education system, the retreat-engaged education officers, heads and support personnel in engaging sessions, hot-provoking discussions and collaborative activities. Chief Education Officer Beverly Deodone says the theme reflects a profound dedication to fostering leadership through innovation and positive change within the education sector. Empowering our leaders is not just a slogan. It is a commitment to nurturing the potential within each of you. It is about recognizing the leadership that exists at every level of our education system and providing the support and the resources needed to catalyze positive change. School supervision is considered as the backbone of the educational structure working with principals and teachers to achieve excellence in education. Education Minister Hon. Sean Edward is on the record stating the important role that all who work in school administration play in creating an education system that helps grow the human resource base of the country and deal with the many social ills in the country such as crime. I firmly believe that real societal transformation can come forth or come about if we program properly in our education system and the education that we put forward must be one that is relevant and one that reflects the realities of the time in which we now live. Parliamentary Secretary Senator Hon. Pauline Antoine Prosper who is a former principal and district education officer says the mission of school supervision goes beyond the routine administrative tasks. She called on officers in attendance to continue to foster an environment of continuous improvement and to stay ahead of evolving needs of the sector. Here our influence extends beyond the walls of the schools, beyond the district offices. We serve the public. Our collective efforts will help the principals, the teachers, the students and the leaders that we lead to shape this nation, to shape our society. The school supervision section of the ministry is headed by the chief education officer and deputy chief education officer who are responsible for education officers in each of the eight school districts who in turn are directly responsible for schools under their districts. The structure also includes education officers for special education, Kamdu, Thivet, Nelju, Early Childhood and school feeding program as well as heads of the school counseling and school safety sections.

Hello and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. Let's say integrate the following function The given function is root 10x upon sine x into cos x. Let us now proceed on with the solution and let I be the integral root tan x upon sine x into cos x dx Now we know that the derivative of tan x is secant square x. So we need to have secant square x here so we multiply the numerator and the denominator by secant square x this becomes root tan x into secant square x upon sine x cos x into secant square x dx Now we know that secant x is equal to 1 upon cos x this is root tan x into secant square x upon sine x into cos x into 1 upon cos square x dx So this is further equal to under root tan x into secant square x upon the sine x upon cos x is tan x dx now we substitute t for tan x. So dt by dx is secant square x and this implies dt is equal to secant square x dx So secant square x into dx is dt so Substituting all these values in the integral. So the integral becomes under the root t upon which is again equal to t to the power minus 1 by 2 dt this t to the power 1 by 2 and this is t to the power 1. So 1 by 2 minus 1 is minus 1 by 2. Now its integral is t to the power minus 1 by 2 plus 1 upon minus 1 by 2 plus 1 plus c Which is again equal to t to the power 1 by 2 upon 1 by 2 plus c So this is equal to 2 into root t plus c. Now t is tan x. So this becomes 2 into root tan x plus c And here we have applied the formula for the integral of x to the power n dx Which is equal to x to the power n plus 1 upon n plus 1 plus c Hence the integral of the given function is 2 into root tan x plus c. This completes the question. Why for now take care and have a good day.


Britain is preparing the Ukrainians for an attack on Crimea. The British military is training Ukrainian special forces to seize Crimea by Christmas. The Daily Express published information about this. Sources say they will form the tip of the spear in an invasion while two other forces mount concurrent attacks. More than 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers have already arrived. The operation will include air, land and sea strikes using long-range missiles provided by Great Britain, the United States and Germany. The information stated. It is noted that the exercises will be held at Oakampton and Devon military camps, even servicemen from other military units are not allowed in those military camps. The operation will involve strikes from air, land and sea with Ukrainian commandos using technology to undermine and paralyze Russian troops. One senior UK military source said emphasis was being placed on using agile NATO tactics to help Ukrainian troops shape the battle space before striking at the heart of the enemy. The operation to retake it will be one deploying multiple assaults on Russian forces, said the source. We can train them in our tactics and show how to use equipment but success will come from the Ukrainian's own ability to quickly adapt and overcome challenges. Earlier, Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylov Budanov confirmed forces would enter Crimea soon. It comes after Kyiv has launched a major attack on Russian forces in the area around Crimea as part of its weeks-long counter-offensive. Ukraine has committed thousands of troops to fight in the southeast area of the country according to Western and Ukrainian officials and analysts.


🎵Music🎵 Fancy. And we are here to do the Epcot Resort Bar Crawl. Something new. Fun. But, the Walt Disney World Coupler with us is going to be another epic night. I really know. So let's go do this. First stop, the Bellevue Lounge. Right here in the boardwalk. Very fancy, very classy. And I really enjoy the radio stations in here. Let's see what they got. The cool thing about the Bellevue is it's kind of like a living room. Very, very awesome. And, if you take a listen to these old-timey radio stations over here, or these radios, they actually have announcements and cool music. Radio listeners were mildly startled by the introduction of one of the most unconventional married couples in microphone history. I use the word unconventional advisedly. Drinks have arrived at the Bellevue. And I got this Bellevue Sidecar. Orange juice and fireball whiskey. And it is something else. Corona. Last time I saw Maspina. Thank you. And then, Josh and Taylor, Angry Orchard, and the Bellevue Cocktail. Oh, the Bellevue Cosmo. It's a Cosmo. It's a Cocktail, though. What was that face? You don't like the Corona, do you? I do. It's so good. I think I caught a better bare face on you. It's really good. I did. You and your wife, the unconventional couple I'm referring to, of course, is the Bikersons. The Bikersons? The first time. Okay, so we're done with the Bellevue. We sat there for a little bit. I think we were there for like an hour, actually, just talking and hanging out. So we are done with the Bellevue. You just hit her elbow. Now we're going to move on. The drinks were pretty amazing. It was fun. We sat there for like an hour just hanging out talking. But on to the next one. I hit my elbow. Oh, yes. I'm guessing the Aber Cadabra bars next. The magicians lounge. How'd you like that little jingle? Very cool theming inside here. Stage door. Missing magicians. Hello. Ace? They have like these. They have like these for a bit. Drinks have arrived and I got a perler trick. Pretty fancy. I can't tell you what's in it but I believe it's bourbon. And she has vanished. Cheers to the Aber Cadabra bar. Oh, yes, spicy drinks. Delicious drinks, classy drinks and bourbon and soda water. I don't know what I did. I really had a force to drink this actually. It didn't go down easy. Taylor, yeah, you really got that good. Wow. But this warm feeling drink here. I can see a warm sensation. Yeah, it's more than a feeling. It's a warm sensation. Alright, it's a good drink. Done with the Aber Cadabra bar. Josh and I are coming out to the boardwalk. Taylor and Veronica, how to use the restroom. And I think we're going to avoid the rain. I think so. I don't know. We might hit us tonight. Oh boy. Oh boy, oh joy. Let's go to Joe's. It puts the lime in the watermelon, Margarita. No. So Veronica still wanted Josh's mac and cheese bites while he walked away. He'll never know until this video comes out. If I can get it down because it's hot. Hurry up, they're coming. And we got ourselves a watermelon Margarita. I don't think Yip likes the watermelon Margarita too much. I don't, I think it tastes like bourbon. Really? Taylor got the strawberry. I like how they put the green sugar. Except that it drips down the side a little. Oh, what is it? But nothing goes better with these than this view. That's amazing, isn't it? Okay, we're going to get up from Margarita's, Joe's Margaritas, which I drank all of the Margarita because Yip doesn't even like watermelon. Why would she order that? I thought we were going to split it. Oh yeah, but you didn't drink it. So we ended up drinking it all. Where we going next? Sugar. Thank you. Where? We're walking from the boardwalk all the way over to the beach club. Beach is blue. Just learned that. Just learned that from Taylor. And look at this kid come down this hill with the stroller. You go! So we are here. And I'm thinking we're going to end up drinking somewhere in here. Look at that, that's helpful. We have arrived at the beach club. And that is a crane. And people could be on that to get to their rooms. And that's just like a fancier way to get up there. And I think we're going to go this way to Martha's Vineyard. Oh yes, it smells nice in here. It does smell like the contemporary. Look at this. Oh, that's the curtains I've been looking for. You could totally hide behind those and scare people as they're walking by. Okay. So I'm not sure how many stops we made it to. I think this is our fourth stop, isn't it? Yes. Oh my lord. But Martha's Vineyard, here we are. This place seems like a very cool place to hang out and watch the game. Or will a fortune. That tastes like a Christmas tree in a cup. We left the beach club as you could tell between the separators. Look at this fancy place. Yes. You're going Bud Light, aren't you? You don't know me. We all know you're. But we are leaving here. It all came back to me now. We left the crew heading to the Ale and Compass. Look at this floor. Oh yeah. And for some reason that looks like an Ikea couch. And this is the inside of the Ale and Compass. Well hello there. So like I said, we made it to the yacht club and this is the main lobby. Here comes Josh. And this is the Ale and Compass. And we're actually going to take the first seat available inside the Ale and Compass. Look at that. Josh, why so much hate? I don't know why they think I wave like that. No, like this they say. You've never done that. This is like high fives. Oh yes, he gave high fives. You're high fives. Yeah, like bam. So I noticed one thing about the yacht club. It's got this very special like sea smell. And I love it. Wow, even their wet floor signs are pretty fancy here. Look at that, gold plated. So unlike all of the other bars we stopped to, the Ale and Compass actually has signature cocktails. And that is awesome. I think I'm going to go with the How Dare You.  Take a sip. Why? I went with the How Dare You.  Why don't they give you these tiny straws? Alright, I'm going to try it. Oh my god, that's like amazing actually. What is that? It's a How Dare You. It's amazing, yeah. It's like a mint. The first drink he's actually liked. Yeah. Wow. I don't even know what that is. I don't even know how to pronounce half the words.  I know. I'm just going to go with that. Bud Light and baked beans. Baked beans and Bud Light. Now if you're running to, it's my fortune to cover the fur. That's your life, it isn't her. Good she's love, good she will, good she's love. And Frog and Taylor are taking us kind of on an adventure. I don't even know what's happening right now. Turn the camera on. I want to go to the gazebo. Oh, that's pretty. So apparently we found a real snail. It's real. Inside the gazebo at the yacht club. That's big. It's a big snail inside the gazebo at the yacht club. There's a snail. Look at that. You see him? I see him. We are making our way from the airline compass and the yacht club, and hopefully to end up maybe by the swan and dolphin. Oh, definitely to the swan and dolphin. You got to see the party tree. And then to the Atlantic dance party. Hall. Dance hall. We're going dancing. We're going dancing. Line dancing. We're not lying to the club. Close. Before we head to the swan and dolphin to check out the pretty lights. Because that's amazing. Look at the boardwalk. At night. It's amazing how quick it gets dark out here in Florida. And Taylor is on the ground. I don't even know what's happening. What happened? We've made it to the swan and dolphin. This is one of my favorite fountains here actually in Disney World. I just love it.  Happens to be 90s night with $3 drafts at the Atlantic dance party. Look at this view. We're at the top of Spaceship Earth over there. Like I said, the second floor is primarily closed off. But somehow we ended up being able to come up here and just see the beautiful view and looking down at the dance club and it's actually amazing. It's pretty amazing. They're here for us. Oh no. Don't go willingly. Don't go willingly.
