Matt Reeves just tweeted some photos of the Batmobile with Batman standing next to them and unlike the recent photos that were leaked from the set, these are official pictures, so presumably we're seeing things in the best light. So there were three pictures that were released. One is kind of a top-down view. One is sort of angled from behind and one is directly from behind the Batmobile. I'll just throw out along some of my observations and I want to hear what you thought of these. So first off, the car looks very sleek and it looks like a normal car where the Batman touches are pretty subtle. In fact, that's one of the things I liked about it, but on the other hand, if you took this car out of the context of Batman standing next to it, I don't know that I would know just by looking at it that it was supposed to be the Batmobile, which is a little bit of a bummer. It's also Batman is in all the photos, so we do get another look at his suit because the picture is so dark and it's kind of far away. It's hard to get a really good look at the suit, but this picture does confirm that Batman will have a cape, which in the set photos, he didn't have one. I'm assuming for safety reasons. And it's hard to see some of those nuances that we saw in the close-up pictures, where close-up you can kind of see how the suit looked pretty piecemeal and almost looked like a prototype. I'm not saying that's not there in this picture, but it's kind of hard to see. Alon, what are your thoughts on do you like the kind of subtle look to the Batmobile or do you miss the Tim Burton very obvious Batman Batmobile? I like the subtle approach. I think these days, if you try to go too much like the Tim Burton version, it could get a little cheesy. It kind of looks like a charger to me. You know that car? I don't know anything about cars. I was just going to nod my head, but yeah, a charger.  I think it's pretty cool. And then regarding the suit, if you zoom in a little bit, it might be too low quality to tell, but his ears look like they might be a little pointier than they looked in that first image. Yeah, I was going to say that I really wanted to ask you because I know you're pretty down on Batman's ears in that first picture. So I wanted to check back with you and say, now you can see it a little bit more in context. I thought they looked a little bit better here. Yeah, I agree. However, it is still low quality. So maybe that who knows, we got to get a higher res close-up version. Right. And also, getting away from his suit for a second, there's that one picture which is directly behind the Batmobile. And I guess the engine, whatever that thing is in the back of the car, looks crazy. It almost looks like an angry robot face. And I'm assuming that this Batmobile is capable of some things besides just driving. Maybe we'll see some of what we saw in Batman Begins where it can't quite fly, but it can kind of launch itself from one building to another. And in that same picture, you get another quick shot of Batman's suit. And I will say his arms still look a little funny to me. The kind of gray part of his arms right before his hands looks, I don't know, a little bit cheesy. But again, we've got to kind of see it in motion to properly judge. Those are just his web shooters. Alon doesn't know what movie we're watching right now. All right. Any other thoughts on Batman and the new Batmobile? You still excited for this movie? Yeah. Still has potential in my mind. All right. Cool. So first look at the Batmobile. Looks good. Batman suit. Jury's still out, but we're cautiously optimistic.


May I come in, sir? Good morning, sir. Good morning. Come in, sir. Are you from Tudapir? Yes, sir. Where is Tudapir? It is a place in Tiruvandhubaram district of Kerala. In which part of Kerala? It is about 13 kilometers from Tiruvandh. There is another place in Tudapir in Kerala. Do you know that? No, sir. Do you know? No, sir. I am from Kerala. Do you know that? Kodamangala. Yes, Kodamangala, my name is Sir. Kodamangala, Pongala. Tell me something about that. Artugal Pongala is an annual ritual of Artugal Devi temple in which the majority of the female followers used to come and offer Pongala for the Goddess for their prosperity. It is one of the largest gathering, peaceful gathering of women in the world. Some Guinness records are also there. Guinness Book of Records. Yes, sir. It has got Guinness World Records and Limca Records. And which month it is celebrated? Sir, mostly it falls on February last week or March 1st week. How it is done? Can you just explain what these women do there? Sir, they make a special offering called Pongala which includes rice, jaggery, along with fresh leaves and all. PTP Nagar. Have you heard of that? PTP Nagar. Yes, sir. Tell me, how it is named? What is the full form of PTP? I don't know, sir. From Nanu Kille. Who was he? He was. Sir, if my understanding goes right, he is the first Chief Minister of Travancore Cochin State. Okay. Tell me some other temples in and near Truanruf. Sir, the most famous being Padmanabha Swami Temple. Then there is the Palavangadi Ganavathi Temple, which is quite famous for it. Then there is a temple in Palayam Square. And... Something on way to Gannakumari. Some temple on way to Gannakumari. I am not aware of it. Okay. Biothermically, you are done. Sir. Tell me, how does it relate to institutions in Kerala? We have Kerala Shastra Sahitya Parishit. That is, how does it relate? They also have a wing to deal with the conservation of forests and all. Then department of biochemistry and environmental sciences in the University of Kerala. So, that's all. Any institution followed? Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanical Garden. Pichy? Yes, Kerala Forest Research Institute. You know this, suppose you are district collector of Idikik. And you have to reallocate some villages from which area, some PA is there. Protected area? Either Vigolum National Park. Okay. Some villages are there. You have to reallocate those. As a district collector, what all considerations will be there for you? Sir, are you asking about the relocation of people? People. Village. Village inside the Vigolum National Park. Those people have to be rehabilitated somewhere else. So, what all points you will consider for their rehabilitation? So, since relocation is a very complex process, the first consideration should be their livelihood options. Because most of the communities, they should have been intrinsically... Okay, just tell me the points. Yes. Their livelihood, the traditional way of living they had inside the National Park. Then preserving the traditions, giving better amenities like drinking water, sanitation facilities. Maximum in and around the National Park will be my best option to relocation, sir. What type of houses they want? So, most of the traditional communities, they may not be familiar with the Pappka houses. So, that you have to ask them, no? Yes, sir. What type of houses you would like to have? Yeah, consultation will be done. Children's education? Yes. Milu, tell me three things that you like about Kerala and you don't like about Kerala. So, first thing, the landscape of Kerala. Second, the social development... These are things you like or you don't like? Sir, I like. Sorry. I like... The three things I like is the landscape of Kerala. The social development indicators of the state. Then the overall harmony the people have in and around. The things I dislike is the overall tiredness that Kerala is not so clean. But it's so clean? Not so clean? Clean, sir. Yeah. The waste management system of Kerala is not up to the mark. It has gone bad already. Then the growing polarization among certain communities... Third point in what you like and the second point in what you dislike is contradictory. As I said, it is growing. We used to have a harmony there, but now it is like increasing the polarization among certain communities that is growing. Then the underexplored potential of our state is another thing I dislike. So you said the third thing is underexplored potential. What are the areas in which Kerala is underexplored? Mainly in agriculture, so agriculture sector. We have our own options. I thought the industrial sector is underexplored in Kerala. From a resources perspective, the industrial sector has its own limitations in the state. But I think, sir, from the perspective of agriculture, we can still explore more. Okay. Kerala and high consumption of alcohol. It was again in use on the context of Onam. Yes, sir. Do you think we should impose a kind of prohibition as seen in the case of Bihar and Gujarat in Kerala? Sir, regarding the consumption of alcohol, it's an individual's choice. So rather than prohibiting, it should be better we create awareness rather than banning completely. Because banning again itself tends to brew illicit alcohol and all. So it is better we create more awareness rather than complete banning. You worked in the Kerala Police Department. Can you tell me some initiatives of the state Kerala Police, Kerala State Police, which can be adopted in other parts of the country? So first and foremost will be the Janamaitri program because it increases the camaraderie between public and the police. Second must be the student police initiative in which the students from their initial years, they can be groomed into better citizens. The Ping Police Petrol, which include the law and order concerns of women, is also another good initiative. Tuna Portal is another good initiative from Kerala Police. You worked for almost seven years. How has your experience shaped your personality? Sir, before joining the police department, I have a very wrong perception about the government office. Not just wrong, but there was a skepticism inside mine of how a government office work. But being inside the department, I understood I am being more responsible and compassionate to the cause of the people, I believe. You have a hobby reading nonfiction. What do you read? Mainly, nonfiction related to the geography. I like geographical nonfiction. Can you tell us some books that you have read recently? Sir, I have gone through the Land of Seven Rivers by Sanjeev Sanyal, The Ocean of the Churn by Sanjeev Sanyal, Following the Fish by Samand Subramanyam. Following the Fish. What does this book about? Sir, the book is about this author who travelled through the coastline of India and finding new fishes, or the fishes which are particular to certain places and trying the dishes. Was this inspired by your other hobby of fish keeping? Coincidentally, it came together, sir. So, what kind of fish should I do, or would you call it? Group. Right now, I keep guppy and carp and silver sharks. So, what are the characteristics of this and how do you monetize this? Sir, I don't monetize fishes so far. With the characters being guppies are more easy and it has the resilience to be in certain environment. But silver sharks are right. Like they have a tendency of committing suicide. So, those are the characteristics I observed. You have also presented a paper at Kerala Science Conference. What was that about? Sir, it was about the using of urease enzyme as an indicator of soil fertility. Can you say this in layman terms? What is that? Sir, our soil contains an enzyme called urease and this urease is essential for the plants to take up the urea fertilizer. So, the more the urease content in the soil, the more will be the absorption of nitrogenous fertilizers. That's good. You know, you are, you have opted for foreign studies as number two. Who was the first lady foreign studies officer in the country? Any idea? Regulation, have you heard of Ms. Muthamma from Kerala? She was the first. Until 1922, they were not allowed to marry. You know that? No. No, of course. Okay. Now, what's happening in Ufgar-e-San? Suppose you have posted that. Do you think it will be comfortable? Sir, the situation is very dire. So, it must be, it won't be that much comfortable. But my priority will be evacuating the Indians and other Afghan people at the earliest. Now, in recent years, the government has been airlifting people. Yes, sir. It's a great thing, no? Yes, sir. From, yes, from dangerous areas, it is very good initiative to make them save. Any instances where we have airlifted people? Sir, I recall from South Sudan and Yemen. Recently, we have airlifted people. Have you read any book written by foreign security, serving or a dad or...? I don't recall, sir. I don't recall it. No, that's why I don't recall it. No, it's not that. What is gender budgeting? So, gender budgeting is formulating policies regarding the finances, which is specifically targeting women and their development. Very good. Can you name one item under the budget, which is exclusively for women? Sir, the Nurbaya Band. Nurbaya Band. What is the Nurbaya thing? Sir, it was a name given by the press and media for a girl who was gang-raped in Delhi. Yes, sir. Okay, that's fine. Now, your option is geography. Yes, sir. That's very good. Now, tell me, does the size of the country determine growth? Economic growth? To an extent, yes, sir. Because the size, when size increases, the potential of mineral wealth also increases. The resources of the country is projected to increase. So, in that perspective, yes, size matters. Okay, that's my economic job. You understand the concept of economic job. Sir. What are the things you are studying under that? So, economic geography mainly deals with how the land is contributing to the economic development of the country. So, mainly the sectors of the economy, like agriculture, industries, with respect to geographies dealt by economic jobs. What is it? How is time difference calculated? For each degree, what is the time difference? Sir, I can't exactly recollect it. Now, should we have different time zones even within our country? Yes, sir, I totally agree to it because we are having a very vast expanse of land. So, multiple time zones will be feasible for us. Yes, too. Yes, sir. In America, you know, how many time zones they have? No, sir, I don't remember. Oh, that's fine. I think, quite I think. Okay, now, what is the Dead Sea business? Why is it called Dead Sea? Can Sea be Dead? Sir, because of the higher salinity, life forms find it very difficult to survive there. That is why it is called Dead Sea. Can you sink anything in that? Maybe more denser material, sir. But I think most probably things float. Where is it located? Sir, it is in the borders of Israel and Jordan. Look, we tell Scandinavian countries. So, Scandinavian countries include Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Greenland. There is a Helsinki conference, we must have heard of it. What is that? Often quoted. Sir, it is between, it's a conference by US and Russia for their peaceful agreement. Peaceful talks and all. Now, tell me, generally, they say, labor is very expensive in Canada. So. Compared to Tamil Nadu or other places. Why is it? Sir, because Kerala's people, they used to go to other Middle Eastern countries and they have a higher standard of living inside the state. So, naturally, historically, this created a demand. In the state itself. So, when a labor is offered, people used to demand higher wages. So, hence the minimum wage is set in a very higher bar. Good. You are aware of Nithya Ayurveda. Right? You have seen any of their reports? Sir, yes, sir. I used to read when it is being reported. Sir, the last one I remember is School Education Quality Index. Okay. So, what does it say? Sir, it basically talks about the learning outcomes of different states. They compare the equity in education, the learning outcomes, the overall infrastructure. Are they ranked the states? Yes, sir. So, which is at the top? Sir, if I recall it correctly, Tamil Nadu versus top state last index. Canada closed second. Yes, second. And the bottom and the last one, at least, sir, if I remember correctly. Now, in Tamil Nadu, I don't know whether you keep track of things happening in Tamil Nadu. A very regular IPS officer, a woman, she was harassed and, you know, all sorts of harassment, she complained again, the DGP. And then, two, three other officers also supported the DGP. Now, what will you do in a situation like that? Of course, now court has, you know, doing things that we should be doing, but still. And similarly, in Karnataka, one rupee, you might have heard that IPS officer, gay. You know, when you try to find corruption or things like that, there are officers who are harassed. What can be done? Sir, one thing will be the implementation of Supreme Court judgment by establishing a... Which judgment? Precursing case. In that judgment, Supreme Court said about establishing a state security commission, which is having... We can establish a security commission along with this sexual harassment at workplace, or in a gender angle, we can create another department in the state level to hear such complaints from the women officers. So, we believe more in commission than omissions. Can I say that? We are across two issues. Sir, an institutional mechanism is always good rather than having nothing about it. You think about India as a whole. We can say our GDP is about 2.5 trillion. We want to go for 5 trillion. And composition of GDP is agriculture, industry and manufacturing and services like this and all. Can you explain with four or five sentences about Kerala State GDP? Sir, I haven't read recently about Kerala State GDP overall. You can make a guess. What is the Kerala's GDP growth rate approximately? That also I am not aware of it, sir. What is the composition of Kerala's GDP? More than 60% is comprised of the service sector, followed by the agriculture sector and the industrial sector comes at the border. What role remittances play in Kerala's economy? Sir, that also I don't know the exact number, but Kerala's economy is largely sourced from this remittance money. How COVID has affected or impacted this remittance economy? So, COVID has forced our expatriate community to come back to the home state. Since travel restrictions are still on, so most of them cannot go back and most of the jobs are lost. So it should be very detrimental for the state's economy because we have to accommodate such expatriate community who were erstwhile doing jobs in a very high wage. So what the government is doing about it? Sir, I think Norca has opened a registration portal for the upcoming communities and with the sidelines of India's external affairs program. Just registering, it will solve the problem or why they are asked to register in this Norca? Sir, one thing is if we have a data, we can streamline things better because most of them are skilled labourers also. So skilled labourers can be re-rooted to the upcoming... As an administrator, you are asked to give some policy formulations for these repatriates. One, two, three, four, what are all the things you will recommend? Sir, one thing I will recommend is the setting up of sunrise industries in the state. For example, we have a huge untapped potential for the food processing sector. So some of the labourers can be re-rooted for that. Second must be the service sector expansion itself, the tourism, the untapped potential of tourism, education sector because Kerala is becoming an educational hub as well. Third will be cooperating with other states because the earth of labour is there in other states of India. So we can send our nurses or other skilled professionals to the other states. Fourth must be by collaborating with government of India Kerala can attract investments to the states itself in the potential sector so that some blue collar jobs can be re-rooted there. Afghanistan, embassy has been totally wound up or somebody is there still? Sir, I think India has retained a small condition of staff in the airport itself but embassy is closed. What is the number of Indians already evacuated and what will be the number still they wanted to come and they are not able to come? Any guess? Sir, I don't know the exact number but I think... Kerala Covid lessons. What are all the lessons you learnt from the Covid management by the Kerala? Sir, it has two sides. The positive thing is a positive lesson I learnt is when you have a proper plan or when you have a proper mechanism to... a Covid management strategy is there. That is a very positive thing to learn. But the negative thing is the way it is being implemented that lesson was somewhat misplaced because opening up of the economy during festival seasons is the alternate days opening of the markets. That strategy actually outfired. Is there any alternative? How long will you keep shop shut? How long will you stop people from celebrating festivals? What is the alternative you are suggesting? Sir, rather than restricting to alternative days it should have been better. They open for all days so that crowding effect should have been ruled out after being a densely populated state. Opening up on certain days will increase the crowd only. So if they could have given the availability of shops or such condiments for 24-7 it should have avoided the crowding effect that could have been very detrimental. Kerala, in the initial first phase Kerala was considered as one of the best Covid administered states. Okay. But in the second wave, what happened? Sir, during the first wave the number of cases were initially low and an early lockdown strategy proved it best because we could have isolated and treat patients who were affected with Covid. But after consecutive election and festival time the numbers got boomed up and the people were out of options due to economic constraints and all. So the government has failed to capture... What is the role played by Delta variant? It has also a considerable effect, sir because the virus is having greater virulence when compared to the other strains. That also played it part. Why Kerala is always in the news whenever new diseases come. This is Covid also first came out in Kerala only before that NIFA virus also first detected in Kerala only. Why does Kerala being the first to remove these cases? Sir, it has multiple reasons. One is like people are having very much accessibility to the healthcare institution. So even they affected with the cold they will reach to the hospitals and healthcare institution. So detection is there. Second thing is the zoonotic diseases are having a very high prevalence because people are closely connected to the ecosystem of the Kerala which is similar to rainforest or similar to ever been nature of the thing. Also the exported community is very high. So even when other countries are reported there should be a Malayali in that case. What is the size of Kerala at Aspora? I don't know the exact numbers. Sir, very high. Sir, because almost from every household there is an NR from Kerala. So roughly tell me how many households are there how many inspectors will be there. Sir, if my cases right then around 50 lakh people will be outside. Okay, Minu, your interview is over.


Tonight I proclaim to you that God did tear open the heavens and come down and is now forever bound to the physical created universe. The systems the world was shaken to their knees and then went on their merry way because it was just a Jewish Galilean peasant wonder worker easily dispatched through human justice and state sponsored violence. But in that the governments and powers expose themselves for what they were and our systems of violence set against the very source of life. The good news is we can turn to this one and find God at work transforming us into citizens of a more just and loving world. Since God became incarnate in the Virgin Mary, God has been at work in matter and the physical world in our very bodies transforming the world into what it should be. Are you ready for that world? Are you awake to that world? Wake up, stay awake, be a citizen of the world that is coming in which racism in all forms of oppression and injustice are shaken from the earth. Stay woke.


Solution-based distributed Bragg reflector, DBR, a technology has made significant progress over the past few years, but still faces some limitations before being ready for commercial use. The main obstacle is the difficulty of producing high refractive index, HRIF films, which are needed to achieve high reflectance from a small number of layers. Materials and coating processes have been developed to address this issue, however, and recent advancements have brought solution-based DBRs close to the level of physical-slash-chemical vapor deposition, PVD. Additionally, DBR research has expanded beyond photonic applications, making it easier for researchers with different backgrounds to access the necessary information. This article was authored by Amelia Palo and Konstantinos S. Daskalakis.


ata demands that so you pick those bits and pieces. Yeah, it's just that it gets more intuitive with time. And honestly, nobody like an editor won't say that, oh, let's do a diamond for the story. That's not how people talk. These are more like how academics have driven these frameworks. Like one or two of them might be things that I've modified, but most of them are things that researchers have looked at different articles and looked at trends that pop up, like the techniques that pop up and try to give them a framework. Yeah. Oh, got it. So you're saying that at this point of time, first you write the story, you produce it and all and then later on all the academics come and they say, oh, this is the structure should be called this. This is a machini glass. So you're saying that these classifications have not come from within the journalist community that have come from external observers or commentators. Yeah, and these might also be journalists that move to academia and study journalism there. So that way, but in journalism school, they will definitely teach you the inverted pyramid and things like that. Got it. So let me also jump to other questions that the audience have asked first. So said that single asks, are these storytelling frameworks relevant only for written or visual formats, or can these be applied to verbal communication as well. What are your thoughts on how those formats differ. So, some of the inverted pyramid is also very classic thing that you would see in say TV news TV is both like of course, the combination of your visual and audio thing. But if you go back to podcast and radio, even there you would see a lot of anecdotal leads and then going deeper and telling one story. Yeah, these story techniques apply everywhere. It's just a story telling technique. I would say that if you're doing a business presentation, you could use it there too. So it's just a method of how do you capture a person's attention? How do you satisfy the curiosity? And like, you know, how do you communicate what you're trying to communicate? It's more of a communication technique as opposed to a journalist technique, I would say. I think that's a that's a gateway to fame and it's not bound to any particular medium for that matter or any particular format for that matter. Okay. So someone who chooses to not name himself or herself says, has a question, any story that was the most difficult to visualize and how you dealt with it. So can you think of any such experience very hard to visualize? I think like, especially if you're talking about debt is very hard to visualize in general, because you want you're talking about a very serious tragedy, essentially, you're talking about the tragedy. And you want people to stay people when you're telling the story and not just become numbers. So tech always is a very hard thing to cover. In the case of COVID, we did this bit where like the deaths were at their peak in your in June, July, and people were dying everywhere. And to talk about that, we spoke about the pace of death and it's very sobering number that one person in the world was dying every 17 seconds or every 18 seconds. And when you put it in that way, it becomes much more powerful. And you know, of course, that these many people are dying every day and you're reporting these numbers, but to reduce in those seconds. I think that that was death always is very hard. And to think of ways that makes people remember that we are talking about actually a tragedy. That's quite hard. All right, so anything to do with any morbid story for that matter? Yeah, any morbid story for that matter, because you don't want a chart to dilute the tragedy. Dilute the big thing. So do you feel, and I think as an extension to this, do you feel visualization sometimes falls more in the entertainment space or rather than learning an information space, or at least is often mistaken for that? I think in terms of COVID has proven that entirely wrong. It's a story that's driven entirely by visualizations and data and where cases are picking up, who's managing the pandemic, who has lost control, where older people are dying, where it's younger populations of things are fine. So like those kinds of things, those are scientific questions and things that are have been crucial in managing this disaster that's struck the world. It's entirely driven by data and visualizations, the log charts, like people got comfortable reading log charts because of that. And I think that's saying something. So it's definitely not just for entertainment. COVID has definitely broken any of those beliefs if they existed. This year has been of too many line charts. Last year, I hope this year will not be of any line charts. Sorry, last year. I'm still there. I'm still in March 2020. Let's get you back to 2021 with the next question. So this is a question from Arjit who was asking, how do you get viewers to believe your facts or sources? Or are we doomed to have only people who believe certain things, read stories that support these points? Believe certain things, read stories that support these points? No, I'm not very clear about this question, the second part. But I believe what Arjit is trying to ask is that, how do you get viewers to believe your facts or sources and how do we always trust the personality that it's coming from this place? That's why it must be true. So we caveat it, for example, when I was talking about the tractor story. The getting how many tractors were there, it's like practically not possible. Nobody was sitting there counting tractors. And if you ask the farmers, they say we had two lakh tractors. If you ask the police, they say like maybe on one side they were these many tractors. You tell the leader both, you tell this side is saying this, this side is saying this. I am visualizing what this side is saying. And if the other side is true, that means it's this. That means it would be 10 times of what I've shown, something like that. So we dealt with that ambiguity in that manner. I think data in general, there's a grave issue in data and like a lot of research has been done on that and how do you communicate ambiguity? Because all data is ambiguous.  Somebody is putting things in a spreadsheet and somebody with biases and somebody with parameters is putting things in a spreadsheet. So some information is always going to be missing. And kind of communicating the reader what information is there, what is not there, what might be missing and what we can say, what we cannot say are the things that you do. You can't make a reader believe you. The side part is that within the age of misinformation people believe anything. So the responsible thing you can do is tell them where you're coming from, what your process and methodology has been and leave for the reader to decide if they want more or are they satisfied? Got it. Got it. Okay, so another question from Lal poster, I guess this is on YouTube asks, how do you choose when to make a visual interactive with tooltips? I read your blog on this, it's clearly someone who's a fan. I read your blog on the same, but why I still ask is because always important to bring out specific details. I think, and I don't have the rest of the line that he's trying to answer. So how do you choose? So I avoid tooltips. It's a very, because it's hard work to get tooltips on and work on every device and on a breaking your situation tooltips are like you just don't have the time to code it out. We do a lot of static visualizations with annotations, because especially in a breaking your situation, like if earthquake has happened, and I'm seeing how bad this earthquake was in respect to others and I'm talking about magnitude and scale I might just do a static chart, put some annotations, put it out there. Why? Because maybe the reader need not explore what we have. Like, if you look at usage analytics, I'm not talking in particular about Reuters, but I'm talking about studies that have been done by the New York Times in practice. They say only 10 to 11% of your readers use tooltips. Press don't, especially people on mobile do not. And the thing with tooltips, but the point is these 10% people might be your most dedicated readers. Like they really, really will engage and the time spent on the page will be really, really high. So when it comes to a COVID dashboard, of course we want to have tooltips because it's a dashboard. When it comes to a story, maybe if the narrative is doing the job, maybe I don't need a tooltip. So for example, this is a story I did, which I did not show today, but it was about the Indian elections in 2019 and I showed the faces of all 8500 candidates that contested. The idea to show their face was to show the scale of things. Like, you know, this is this huge election. So many people can test these many are men, these many are women and like drive home certain points about the people who were contesting how much wealth they have, how much criminal cases and things like that. Now the idea of that is not to help someone choose who to vote for. The idea of that is to show scale. So I do need not make it in a way that I hover over a person's face and I get to know who they are, where they're fighting from, because I think that interactivity or tooltip A would be expensive, because I have to load 8500 images separately. And B is unnecessary because I am telling the story it's not a place for them to come in and see who to vote for. So I think it really depends on the use case that if the use case is more of a story and sharing the finding maybe I don't need a tooltip. If it's a dashboard and it's to help the user make a particular decision or learn something that's based on their experience, we will add the tooltips. Got it. I'll take the next question from another or someone in I think in YouTube Ashish was asked, how do you figure out the feeling to do a data story like you did with the Bollywood song story. Curiosity, you read things and you become curious about it and you ask the question. Oh, I wonder why this is happening. I wonder if I can prove it. And you get that feeling of curiosity and you go and you chase that curiosity. And I get that all the time. Reading helps a lot. The more you read, the more news information you consume, the more questions you get. And that helps. Okay. So, Lal poster who had asked the question before this has has another one coming from an anthropology qualitative background. I feel data visualization, which is stats in general reduces people to numbers. How do I deal with morality of this situation. Yeah, that's as I was talking about earlier. That's like a very tricky bit, right. But I think there are ways to combat it. So for example, if I'm talking about 8500 candidates, and instead of saying they were 8500 candidates and making the line chart of how the number of candidates have increased over time, I put on faces of these people on a page. And the minute I do that, I, it hits me. Oh my God, these are real people. And these people are not ending like these people, more people, more people, more people, more people. So, that's one way of putting making sure people remember their human. And similarly, there was this piece that my colleagues did back in 2015 2016, where we were still grappling with, you know, humanizing data and with things like we talk about data humanism. And within that, they, they were talking about the Rohingya crisis, and they decided to do crowds of actual people that one of our 19 mates drew, like illustrated people to show how the scale of the refugee crisis kept increasing. So using humans is one thing, one way to do it. Mona Chalabi, who is like excellent on Instagram, does these hand drawn illustrations to use data in a very human manner. I think using illustrations is one way to humanize things. I did another talk on like how do you create relatable visualizations and illustrations is one way to do it using actual people is thinking of data as not data, but there's in more visual forms. For example, I did a piece about pollution in Delhi, where we installed the camera on top of a rooftop to click pictures. So instead of saying PM PM 2.5 is rising. I showed two filters next to each other and showed what 40 PM 2.5 is like and 400 is like. And so you see it in a more visual manner, and it's much more relatable than a live chart. So I think you think of these other visual ways to tell a story, as opposed to just making bar charts and line charts. Right. Okay, I, at this point of time, we have about three or four minutes more with good man if there are any other questions feel feel free to shoot I'll just ask a couple of them I'll take a step back and also audience members at 130. I do the closing talk where we'll reveal the the quiz link which you can take and you might be able to win one of the four different prizes we have. Right. I'd like to take a step back from pure anthropological questions or qualitative questions and all these things that that were being talked about, and get take the conversation back towards information architecture. In, in your work and in the work of journalism. What do you feel is the role of information architecture or taking a correcting a lot of information organizing structuring it to be able to create stories now do you feel that that's a very common practice. And if and if that is or is not how does one hone that practice or improve on that to be able to find out stories by structuring information and analyzing them better. So one thing that I have been personally working on over the last couple of months is to structure my notes better. Because you're the research that you do journalists in core researchers, we talk to people, we read literature and we ask questions and we try to answer questions. So, to make my research more structured because I am honestly a very, very, very unorganized human being, and it's quite limiting to read all these things and just have the notes here and there and things like that. I've been trying because a friend of mine just would meet me every time and be like, oh man, you need to make better notes, you need to make better notes. So, I think that's one way, one thing that's very important. So story ideas that people have, they might get lost, I know a lot of reporters who will have spreadsheets of story ideas they have stories they would someday like to work on projects they would like to do. So, to track them because it's part of the reporting process, you're chasing people, oh please respond to my request, how many days has it been, which ones I have to file, which ones I am filing again, which one I have to follow. So these processes that are part of the reporting process, I think organizing information is crucial because otherwise it is extremely hard to manage and do the job you want to do. That's one thing for sure where it's useful, more organized not taking because the reporter's notebook is crucial. What about the other side? What about the other side wherein when if you have already created, I'm sure good one by now you would have created hundreds of visualization if not thousands. Then if you have to present it at one place at one platform, say Reuters for that matter, even at the point of presentation level, you will have to organize them in different ways so that the information is easily findable by people who will come in and consume that information. How does that exercise go? How do you or your team decide that this is the first story that we should keep or which is the way in which people should be able to navigate and find your stories? Is there any thought process that you can share on that piece? Because the world has hundreds of stories happening at the same time. Yeah, so one thing of course is that you are probably publishing the story while it's relevant so you would be doing something on chronologically. No, it's timeliness. I'm talking about timeliness. So for example, if fires happen in California, we would be covering it while it's happening or just after it's finished. Few people are going to care about several months from it after the event has happened. So their timeliness helps because that will help us distribute it in other stories that we are doing about the event. Socially, we get a lot of traffic when it's a timely story. So that way the timeliness helps. Then otherwise, even on a graphics, we have a graphics portal where you viewers can go and readers can go and search stories by subject or by people. So if someone's interested in the environment or someone's just really interested in coronavirus or someone's just interested in Brexit, they can go and navigate our stories that way. But I think most of the few people will go on that page and look for graphics. So most people will stumble upon it when someone shared it or when it's there within a story, linked in a story and things like that. The thing about Reuters is also because we are a B2B model. So some of our graphics will also be picked up by other news organizations. So you really don't know where and how people might discover it. So if states times has like embedded a line chart about the COVID that we made, maybe somebody is exploring our dashboard through that. So yeah, it varies and there are multiple ways you can get to it. Got it. So we've just completed our time. My very closing question at this point of time will be out of the hourglass and martini glass and all of which of them are your favorite and have you invented your own framework by now? I think the zoom in zoom out one hourglass is actually my it was a modified version. The actual one uses different words. So I would say my it's my modified framework of the original hourglass. It's inspired by the original hourglass. But I yeah, but I love the spilled martini because I love leaving Reuters explore in the end. I also love like zooming in and zooming out. Got it. Thanks a lot, Gurman. This was a lovely talk by you and thanks audience for all the questions. So now is the final part for which and this is the part when I'll be stumbling a bit because I have to switch to a presentation. Okay, so so you should be able to see the screen so we have completed all the four talks. It was thanks a lot to all the speakers. Professor Ganesh Baglar, Jeanette, Anshul, Gurman for such a diverse set of talks that you have brought in in the World Eye Day. I don't think we have ever done a World Eye Day where the diversity of talks goes from food to plants to news to choices and nudges and things like that. So, so thanks a lot for everyone to come together. At this point in time, I would remind everyone that the global keynote by Cassini Nazir is available on the link that you see on the screen. You can join for a live Q&A session with Cassini Nazir. I would highly recommend you to watch this talk. It's a prerecorded one, and it beautifully combines how information and curiosity go, go hand in hand. There are three sessions at three different time zones where in Cassini Nazir will be available to take your question and answers. And about 30 minutes prior to that, they'll also be streaming this, this talk so you can go to World Eye Day.orgs 2021 to register for one of the Q&A sessions. How can you get involved with World Eye Day? There are different projects that World Eye Day does, like state of content, content collection, transcription and translation of so many things. World Eye Day or website, World Eye Day is a nonprofit foundation at this point of time. There's a World Information Architecture Cafe that they're trying to set up. Similarly, so you can get involved in a project or you can get involved in a committee that World Eye Day is creating committee that organizes events and community committee that looks at how I can help in education. Or can be taught and also around accessibility and other things. You can also join the global board of World Eye Day. So in year 2022, every year a new board gets created and there are co-directors at different geographies. So you can for, for to know how you can get involved with World Eye Day, you can go to World Eye Day.orgs slash get involved. Okay, so then you can also join World Eye Day conversations at Discord. The link is World Eye Day.orgs slash Discord. This is a Discord is a tool wherein you can do lots of open chats and communications and under different channels.  This is the board members that board members for 2021 global World Eye Day team. And this is the regional board for global World Eye Day team. This, here are the set of volunteers and organizers for World Eye Day in New Delhi. Thanks Abhishek for taking all the communications that goes out from World Eye Day. Thanks Manish for moderating as well as holding the fort with Zoom.

Stay well have a good year in front of you everyone and see you around next year. Thank you.


Hello and welcome to People's Dispatch special feature on the Great March of Return protests in Gaza. The 30th of March 2019 was the first anniversary of these protests, one of the most momentous acts of resistance in this decade. For one whole year, tens and thousands of Gazans have been protesting every Friday against Israeli occupation. This is despite barbaric violence by Israeli forces. People's Dispatch brings you exclusive footage from Gaza that examines this violence by Israel, the cost to the prolonged siege of Gaza, and the inspiring fight back mounted by millions of Palestinians. In the latest protests on March 30th, four persons were killed and over 205 injured due to Israeli firing. Tamar Abiyal Khair, Adam Amara, Belal Al-Najjar, all of whom were just 17 years old, were killed in Israeli gunfire. 20-year-old Mohammad Jihad Saad was killed the night before in another demonstration. This is not new for the people of Gaza. However, this has not dented the spirit and they continue to march the borders in large numbers. We spoke to Arija Nashkar, a member of the Great March of Return Committee of Women, on popular participation in the protests. The women are strongly present to affirm that they will continue to participate in a Great March of Return. The participation of the women in the five sites of the protest gives strength to the entire Palestinian society. Today, we have come to say that this land is ours and we have the right to return to our lands. And we have the right to break the oppressive siege. We have come today in a peaceful demonstration to affirm that the choice of the Palestinian people is to defend their rights and to defend the homeland. The Great March of Return called for the right to return of the descendants of nearly 750,000 people who were expelled from their homes in 1948, in what is known as the Nakba or the catastrophe during the formation of Israel. The protests also condemned the decision of US President Donald Trump to shift the US Embassy in Israel to the city of Jerusalem and the blockade of Gaza by Israel aided by Egypt. From March 30, 2018, tens of thousands of people marched every week to the Gaza-Israel border in one of the largest acts of resistance in human history. Israel's response was brutal. Sipers positioned on the Israeli side of the border targeted the protesters, including women, children, medics and journalists. Tanks and artillery installations also fired at the protesters. Over the course of a year, 266 Gazans were killed, including 50 children and 6 women. Nearly 30,400 were injured, of whom 7,000 were wounded by live bullets. One of the worst instances of violence was on May 14, which marked the anniversary of the Nakba. It is also the day when the US Embassy was shifted to Jerusalem. Around 60 people were massacred and more than 1,100 injured in one day alone. A recent report by the United Nations Independent Commission of Enquiry found that Israel's response to Great March of Return could amount to war crimes or crimes against humanity. The report said that Israeli snipers intentionally targeted and killed unarmed civilians. Among the more brutal manifestations of Israeli violence was the use of butterfly bullets, which expand on impact. As of May last year, 20 Palestinians had their legs amputated due to the use of these weapons. These bullets are banned under the Hague Declaration of 1899. Israeli snipers have also targeted journalists and medics, despite them wearing jackets which indicate their profession. Two journalists have been killed and 347 injured over the course of a year. Similarly, three medical professionals have been killed and 665 injured during the Great March of Return protests. The Israeli forces have also targeted medical infrastructure, as many as 112 ambulances have been partially destroyed due to firing. Despite the cruelty, the Palestinians are defined. In the face of brutal fire, the medics have unflinchingly done their duty, saving thousands of lives. We spoke to Abu Ashraf Uqal, a medic with the Ministry of Health, to know about the situation on the ground. We are engaged in humanitarian work in the midst of the Great March of Return and in breaking the siege. There are many difficulties that we face in the field. We are the first to reach the injured. As a humanitarian crew working in the field, we should be under the protection of a number of international laws. There are fears and difficulties that we face while working in the field. We might be directly targeted when we go to the injured. Many of the ambulances have been targeted directly by tear bombs, live bullets or missiles. A number of our own ambulances have been targeted. There is a violation of the rights of medical and relief workers in the field. We have to evacuate the wounded and take them to a safe place and treat them because it is impossible to deal with these cases in the field. The wounded have to be taken to an area which we are sure won't be targeted so that we can start the treatment. We have been targeted and we have suffered injuries. Our ambulances have been targeted by direct shelling. But this is our duty even if our lives are exposed to danger. At the end, the demonstrations are peaceful, demanding legitimate rights that are part of all the international schools. We are part of these people so we may be exposed to injuries like the ordinary cells. We are ready to endure injuries in order to save a life or reduce the pain of the wounded. The people of Gaza have refused to back down or surrender. From the density that came up near the border, symbolizing traditions of the people, to poems and songs that have gone viral online, the resistance has been marked by hope too. Dancing and music are an inseparable part of the protests. A unique feature of the protests has been the participation of all sections of society, including women and children. The people of Gaza are determined to take the struggle into their own hands. They know that it is the force of their will alone that will vanquish the might of the Israeli oppressors. We have come today to participate in the first anniversary of the March of Returns and to prove to the Zionist occupation that we will not be subdued and we will not lose hope till we achieve all of our demands and only after that we will stop the demonstrations.


Hey, I can't afford an attorney. Does that sound familiar to you? If your disability claim has been denied There's a very high likelihood that you're gonna end up in front of a federal administrative law judge And you're wondering how am I gonna do this? I need to talk to a lawyer, but I'm not working How can I pay for someone to represent me? I have good news for you. My name is Tony Vieira I'm an attorney with 22 years experience handling disability claims just like yours The good news is that the Social Security Administration and federal law Helps you get an attorney without any money out of your pocket federal law is this Attorneys are only paid if we win the case no money down no money up front at the end of your case Any benefits you are already do for the time that you've already been disabled the Social Security Administration pays your attorney 25% of those past due benefits on top of that there's a ceiling of $6,000 meaning you're not going to pay anyone more than that It's 25% or 6,000 whichever is less that means you're able to come in for a free consultation You're able to have an experienced Knowledgeable attorney help you with your case even though you may not have the money to pay them up front So if you need help with your disability case if you want to talk to someone to see how to best Prepare your claim give us a call. It's what we do. Thank you Carlson Meisner Hart and Hazelett protecting your rights since 1971


We're now going to work an example problem involving calculating pressure drop in pipe flow and so in the next couple of segments we'll be taking a look at this type of problem where we have to estimate pressure drop. So let me write out the problem statement. Okay so in this problem what we have is a syringe filled with a fluid and the fluid is being forced out of the syringe through a very small diameter needle section that has a diameter of 0.25 millimeters and we are given the volumetric flow rate coming out of the syringe and we are asked to determine what is the force required in order to maintain a steady flow rate and the viscosity of the fluid is given so what we are going to do in order to solve this is we are going to determine the pressure drop within the needle section of the syringe so within this section here and we will then apply the energy equation and we will use the pressure drop from the energy equation so what we will do we will refer to this as being section one and this here where the fluid is coming out is section two and we will assume that this here is p atmospheric pressure that the fluid is going into so in coming up with the solution to this problem the first thing we need to do if we're going to look for the pressure drop in this section here we need to look at the Reynolds number and we need to determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent so that will be the first step in our solution procedure and so when we write out the Reynolds number based on diameter we have rho vd over our dynamic viscosity now the velocity in the Reynolds number here this is the average velocity in our tube or our pipe and so we need to determine the average velocity and that is the volumetric flow rate divided by the cross sectional area of the section that is generating the pressure drop so you'll notice what i'm doing here is this is the diameter and this is in centimeters and so the answer that we're going to obtain is going to be an answer in centimeters per second so the velocity of the fluid in the needle is about eight meters per second that's a fairly high velocity now let's check the Reynolds number to determine if we're dealing with a laminar flow or a turbulent flow and when we plug in the velocity the density the diameter and the kinematic viscosity the dynamic viscosity we obtain a Reynolds number of 916.73 which is less than the 2300 that we said would indicate the transition from laminar to turbulent therefore we're dealing with a laminar flow so with that we can then go to determine what the pressure drop will be in the section of pipe and in order to get the pressure drop we need to obtain the friction factor so the friction factor for laminar flow it was a very clean relationship it's just 64 divided by the Reynolds number based on diameter which we then obtain a number of 0.0698 now alternatively you can also get that from the moody diagram and i won't do it here because it's a relatively straightforward calculation fairly simple but you could also obtain that number from the moody diagram and then once we have the friction factor here we take that and we will feed it into the Darcy Weisbach equation which will then tell us what the head loss is in this section of the syringe so we're going to determine the head loss due to laminar flow in that section so in the Darcy Weisbach equation again using our average velocity across the cross section of our tube or pipe so we get a number of 14.18 meters now if I come back to the schematic what I'm going to do is I'm going to neglect head loss in the larger diameter part of the syringe or of the needle and so we'll neglect head loss here and the rationalization for that is the diameter is quite a bit larger than it is in the needle and consequently the velocity is going to be very low and consequently the head loss in that section will be quite small so with that we then go to the steady flow energy equation and we're dealing with the laminar flow and consequently our kinetic energy coefficient alpha 1 and alpha 2 is going to be 2.0 and we're assuming v1 is approximately equal to 0 so writing out the steady flow energy equation between states 1 and 2 so when we look at this equation we can make one cancellation to begin with we're assuming that the velocity in the larger cylinder section is approximately equal to 0 and the other thing we can say is p2 is equal to p atmosphere because that's where the flow out of the needle is coming into is the atmosphere and so rearranging now what I'm going to do I'm going to pull p2 over to this side so we have p1 minus p2 and if p2 is at atmosphere then that would be a measurement of p1 at gauge pressure divided by the density and then on the right hand side we have the following terms so we get that now we say nothing in the problem statement about the orientation of our needle or our syringe and so we're going to assume that it is horizontal and consequently the elevation z1 will equal z2 and with that this term disappears as well and so quite quickly it's starting to simplify when you plug in the values we've solved for v2 we know alpha 2 we've solved for the head loss and so the only unknown in this equation is going to be p1 gauge and we then obtain a number of 184 about 185 kPa is required in order to force the fluid out through the small needle now the question asked what is the force and so what we need to do is we need to take that pressure and multiply it by the area of the syringe section or of the piston section and so with that we get force is p1g times the cross sectional area at section one and we can plug in the values and we obtain 14.53 newtons so that would be the force required in order to force fluid out of the syringe this is an example of estimating pressure drop using a flow field where you'd have very low Reynolds number and consequently we had laminar flow and then you apply the energy steady flow energy equation to be able to solve it so that is an example of friction factor for laminar flow


Okay, I've been doing it for so many years that I forget like whatever it is. I don't have to know everything anymore So should we kick it off? Mark is gonna call in marks on okay a mark So we need to wait for John. We're just waiting for a quorum We do Okay, right. We're waiting for one more person. He's getting up there He's almost 13 and I thought he was going to decline much faster than he is because there was a period in which he was getting Slower and that sort of thing. Yeah, but that seems to have plateaued. Nice. Nice. Nice It's hard when they get older. Just watch that talk about getting older folks So if I have any questions, I'll ask you yeah Your next meeting I will be yet another year older. Oh my goodness. Yeah, happy birthday What are you like 45 now, Sue a little short of double that 84 Just just watch it. Yeah, congratulations. Well, we were talking about dogs. Oh Okay. Yeah If you'd like to get started John will come out Good evening Welcome to the South Burlington Development Review Board for May 2nd 2023 my name is Don Filibert I am chair of the board and I'd like to introduce the other members of the board who are here tonight Quinn man John Mascatelli And on the phone we have Mark bear and We have our city staff with us our planning and zoning staff Marty Gillies and Marlekeen, so thank you for being here this meeting is being recorded and I Would like to remind you if you're here in person to sign up at the sign-up sheet out back if you're joining us virtually Please in the chat room provide your contact information And if you're on the phone, please send an email to Marlekeen at m K e n e at SouthBurlingtonVT.gov and by signing up It indicates there's a documentation that you were present and a participant in case you wish to take any future action Okay Let's start with the agenda and Start with the emergency evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency. There are doors in the two back corners of the auditorium You would simply exit those doors and either turn right or left to get outside of the building Are there any additions deletions or changes to the agenda for tonight? Good, are there any announcements or reminders? I guess I should announce that we are doing our annual Volunteer Search so if you go on our website, you can see what committees have vacancies Or have positions that are up for reappointment So if you would like to be a member of this or any other committee Please submit your application online and you will be interviewed for consideration just to let you know the Positions are Advertised when they're someone's term is up regardless of whether they are reapplying or not So if you see that there are two positions open in a committee, it doesn't mean that you know, we have a bunch of people Running and screaming it just means that two people's terms are up Thank you. Roller anything else? Nope Are there any comments or questions from the public that are not specifically related to an agenda item? Hearing none. We'll go ahead and move to review of projects Item number five on the agenda This is site plan application SP 2312 of the University of Vermont to amend a previously approved plan for a research and education facility The amendment consists of adding outdoor storage as a use and associated site improvements at 705 Spear Street Who is here for the applicant? Hi Excuse me for a second. Yes full disclosure for this application Thank you full disclosure on this application my wife works at UVMMC and holds a Faculty appointment at the medical at the college as well. Okay. I do not think this will impact my ability I don't think so but thank you for the disclosure anyways. Thanks any other disclosures or Jesus Welcome is the bright green light on on that microphone Light on now. It's brighter. Okay. Hi. My name is Lonnie Raven So I'm associate planner for the University of Vermont at the planning design and construction department With me today is David Blatchley Associate director planning design and construction and project manager for this project and Derek Reed Civil engineer with Krebs and Lansing engineers and UVM's consultant stormwater engineer. Okay. Is it Derek or Eric Derek? Thank you Thank you What I'd like to do is start by Swearing you in okay, raise your right hand, please Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth under penalty of perjury? I do Thank you So this you've seen the staff reports so this this review is a little different than the way we often go about projects because It's expected to be so abbreviated that Marty has already drafted With some areas still to be filled in findings of fact and conclusions For us to review. So What I'd like to suggest Lonnie is if you could please just give us a little overview of what you're doing and why you're why you're asking to Do this and then I think we should move ahead with the identified three issues that the That are kind of left open for discussion in the findings Okay I just want to note that the university has seen and read the staff comments in the draft decision and We'd like to note that we agree to the draft decision in all the conditions. Okay. That's helpful. Thank you Just to give a small quick overview of the project In the past few years we started the university started construction on a major project that was later Had to stop because of COVID so the disruption included The work was disrupted so we did have a series of Construction materials that are coming to us despite the fact that we're not quite ready to build yet So in 2020 we received one shipment of large structural steel members Which we could not use right away and it was not possible to store it on the site and on the athletic campus so we had to find a quick place and The city was very helpful in helping us Acquire another place. So thank you We haven't been able to start reconstruction yet a lot another large portion of the steel has been sitting in the fabricators yard in Canada Since 2020 the university already owns the steel and the fabricator has asked us to take it So we've looked for an appropriate site and what we found is the proposed site Which is just north of 705 Spear Street It is close to the first storage site and it does not impinge on another active use right now So although we have to ask for a permanent permit We do not intend to permanently store the steel members there. We plan to move it within a few years And so we plan not to Permanently impact the site We're gonna put up the steel members are gonna go on the site which is avoiding the wetland and anything else that needs to avoid we're gonna put a fence around it an eight foot fence with green slats and There's an existing farm road, which we're gonna put gravel on so we can bring the stuff in and then We're gonna take it out again and when we are able to remove the steel we will take out the fence and Return the site to its existing condition. Thank you. Any questions board? I have one question. Could you show me on the map? How close is this to your other storage site? I don't have control over the map, but the storage site is across Spear Street. That's what I thought Okay, is it right? Is it this driveway right here? Okay. Yes. All right. That's what I thought So there are opposite sides of Spear Street still close though. Yes. Thank you Okay Let's Let's move through the three Issues that are as of today not resolved and one is the proposed site restoration plan And I know that there were some questions about that. I'm going Marty Do you do you want to explain what your questions were about that? Yeah, so for this one, it's not so much a question but just more This was a standard condition that was included in the last approval for the other steel storage site And that's just a condition that the applicant must obtain a CO at the time of site restoration so that we are Kind of inspecting and approving the the built site with the fence and the steel storage But then also getting eyes on it again as the site is restored to its previous condition We agree to that. I don't know if it would help Would you like us to submit an existing conditions, which is essentially the restoration plan like an additional plan to clarify that? I don't Mind I guess that's a question for the board Well, um, I don't know board. What do you think? I Don't was that something that we had for the for the Previous condition as well, or is it just the condition is sufficient to stand on its own? Um, I think the answer to both questions is yes Last time there was a second site plan But also I think that the notes included in their their site plan in the second sheet as well with the details are Are pretty sufficient to give you a pretty good overview of what they're gonna be doing as they restore the site So you don't think we need it. I don't think so, but we could have one well My sense is that you're on the record. We have it recorded We've listened and why create extra work for you excellent. We accept the conditions on Okay, the second issue is The proposed Storage is a pertinent to the primary use of the property and my sense was That that's kind of been established, but I want to open that up for discussion board members mark anyone Okay, all right So is that enough? I Think so. Yeah, it was found to be a pertinent last time. So great. Just want to make sure we're on the same page again Thanks mark And the third issue is the proposed screening and buffering which as I recall You the pile of steel members won't exceed seven feet and they'll be surrounded by a Chain-link fence with webbing in it. Correct of eight feet. Yeah eight feet. Okay Any questions about that Do you have any need for any more information Marty? No, I just wanted to make sure that the board had an opportunity to review the proposed screening to make sure it was Adequate That makes sense to me Yeah, I think given that it's a temporary use that is consistent or you know sufficient for this situation great Just had one question actually hinging on that somewhere in here I think it was in the the applicants write up it was saying that they have to ask for a permanent Permit for this, but they're planning on using on a temporary basis Given that it's a permanent permit and sometimes temporary can become longer term than expected Is there anything that would be required differently or that we would be doing differently if we expected this to be here for 10 years? Or 15 years Because it could be sure the way things go if it's a permanent permit I can just say that the steel is a valuable commodity So we would either use it or sell it Okay, and as far as process goes there is no difference between the way we've reviewed This application and the way we would review an application for a permanent permanent outdoor storage I guess if you are Making your decision on whether the buffering is sufficient based on thinking it's gonna be gone in three years versus thinking it's gonna be gone to 15 That's that's potentially a difference, but as far as like process goes there is no difference Yeah, great. Thank you Any other questions? Okay, thank you, I'm gonna open it up for public comment Are there any members here or online from the public who would like to comment on this project? Hearing none, I would entertain a motion to close this hearing I'll move to close the hearing. Thanks. I don't know Second, thank you discussion. Okay. All in favor of closing the hearing say aye. Aye Opposed Okay, thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Okay the next project The Description is long. This is a sketch plan application SD 2306 of the Snyder Braverman development company LLC to Subdivide an existing 5.86 acre lot developed with a stormwater treatment pond Into three lots of 3.71 acres lot N1 1.79 acres lot N2 and 0.36 acres lot 3 for the purpose of developing three mixed-use buildings containing a total of 213 residential units and 27,000 square feet of non residential space on lot N1 and future city street on N3 to be to be reviewed under separate administrative site plan application had 225 market street and 267 market street and 113 garden street Who is here for the applicant? This is Ken Braverman with Snyder Braverman and I'm being joined with Andy Rowe who's our engineer and a representative of the landowner South Burlington Realty is Tim McKenzie is also here this evening. Thank you This is a sketch plan. So there's no need to swear you in so why don't we? Proceed by having you give us just a very brief overview, of course, we've all read the staff report But if you could give us a little overview of the project great that would be helpful Thank you for the time this evening look forward to Discussing the project as mentioned This is a three lot subdivision of a 5.86 Acre property that's located diagonally across the street from where we are this evening The purpose of the subdivision is to create the three lots and the lots Are configured as following lot N3? is being created for the purpose of Creating a future public street And as you see on the plan shown on the Screen That's a planned connection of the extension of school street As depicted on the city's official map So that would be a 60-foot right-of-way That Would be a future street that Will be providing an irrevocable offer of dedication to the city So at a time where the city is prepared to take ownership of That street the lot will be created and ready to go The other lot and to is a 1.79 acre lot And that is a lot that's going to contain the existing stormwater treatment improvements that Were constructed several years ago And that picks up water not only from the proposed development, but some of the surrounding areas as well and That lot will be held in common ownership Lot N1 is a 3.71 acre lot and that is a lot that will Be the development lot For a proposed application that's currently being reviewed By city staff Okay, thank you. You bet Any questions from the board at this point before we go through the staff comments Okay The first comment I'm going to read Staff recommends the board direct the applicant to incorporate the comments of the community development director The director of public works and the stormwater section into the next submission for this property What are your what's your response to that and no problem? Okay? Good, let's move ahead Comment number two I'm going to read this one to staff recommends the board direct the applicant to provide the draft language For all proposed easements as part of the final plaid application. No problem. Okay, right? and then This last one I'm going to ask Marla to summarize because I read it two times and I'm like It's a little convoluted, but she'll she knows what it means and it makes perfect sense Yeah, so this was a little tricky actually the subdivision well back in 2020 the standards for Subdivision and the standards for site plan sort of We're woven together a little more closely and In the 22 amendment to the LDR. There was an attempt made to break out Standards related to Setting up a site for successful development from Which under subdivision and the standards that apply to actual design of a site under site plan Because this is a Separate subdivision and site plan application and this could happen anywhere. This is not just a form-based code situation Like in meadowlands or in tech park. They like to subdivide and do site plans separately There are some of the subdivision standards which are difficult to determine whether they comply without a Concept of how the site could be developed As Ken said they've already submitted their site plan application. So if that site plan is approved, which we're working very hard on and Then we already have proof of concept that this subdivision is viable. So what this comment is saying is that? if We get that site plan approval Either complete or nearly complete before they come to you for subdivision then it sort of obviates the need to demonstrate Proof of concept of the subdivision. Okay, does that make sense? Yeah, yeah more so than the the written description did so the idea is The recommendation here is to get the site plan pretty far along Before they come in for final plot. Okay, and that doesn't preclude them submitting But it might you know, we might have some negotiations with them outside of a hearing on when we choose to schedule that So I guess the first question is can you live with that? This is I was thinking about this on the drive-in. This is our fourth subdivision in the form-based code district So we're accustomed to this exercise Because it's been that way really from the beginning So to answer your question that we have no problem with that. Okay. Yep. All right and is there anything that you need the board to Ask or find out about that's probably redundant Or is their agreement that this makes sense as a way to proceed enough? I think it was more just have a conversation about what this site no this I Don't want to use a word site because that implies like the site this project This property is how it's going to proceed through the review process and I wanted to kind of have a Conversation about what that might look like Just for your information. I expect to have our Initial comments on the site plan to you guys tomorrow great So if that helps inform, I know Andy had and I'm not holding you to anything But you had said that you had hoped to submit your final plot application by the end of this week So hopefully those two things work out. What do you think you want to do? Do you want to get through site plan before hearing the final plot hearing or do you want to do the final plot hearing before site plan? I think as you would suggest it It makes sense to be pretty far along in that site plan review process before we come back before the board But on the other hand, we'd like to get our subdivision application in So it can get in the queue because we know there's a certain amount of lead time there No, I think that makes sense I think we can if you get it in and we can hold you a spot and Maybe it's not the next meeting. Maybe it's two meetings out or something right But I think we get the application in we work on the form-based code on the separate simultaneous track and hope to be ready to come back before the board Hit the next meeting or the next meeting after that Perfect great questions from the board. No Okay, um, thank you very much. I'm gonna ask if there are any public comments Are there any public comments from people? I know no one's in the audience except him and he's part of the deal um on people online or No, no comments. Okay. It's sketch. So, um, I think we don't even have to vote to close It do we no, no, we're good to go great. Thank you for the time. Yeah, thank you. Good luck Short night. Yeah, this actually we made it in seven minutes. I think one night. So we're It is a short night. See you see you soon. Oh Yes Don what about the the minutes? Oh, yes, I always forget about the minutes Um Attention, pardon me that you thought I wasn't paying attention. Yeah. Okay. Thanks mark. I was gonna ask you questions. So Um, do we have both sets of minutes remind me? I believe we just have April 11th. Oh the 18th Okay, you got me April 11th about an hour after I submit after I posted the packet All right, and it's her birthday month. So we're gonna cut her some slack. That's all right I'll have for the next time. We don't need no no slack needed. All right Mark since you brought it up, would you like to make a motion about the april 18th minutes? Sure. I'll make a motion that we approve the the minutes from 18 april 2023 has drafted. I didn't see any issues There's just the one Oh, that was one where we had no one come. That's right And I will second that All in favor of approving the minutes Hi Hi pose. No, okay Great. That's the end of the agenda Um, now we have no deliberation. Do we would you like to deliberate on uvm? I can lock the meeting and Mark can just stay on for wrapping up that and then we don't have to deliberate before the meeting this time


Yeah, it begins. Oh my god It's actually a cobweb running from the viewfinder to the lens It only took two weeks Anyway, ahoy, oh, hey It's great. Oh my god Ahoy-hoy and welcome back to the channel today. We're going to do Dank memes from site 19 normally I don't do these until Tuesday But it's been two weeks and we missed one two weeks ago It was a little bit like next video I was going to know nothing next but the next next video I was going to do so I decided to go ahead and do this one is kind of a combined Compilation I only have I only picked out about 10 But I got a much longer list to choose from so hopefully it's of a higher quality. We'll see though we'll see Well written emotionally charged articles, this is brilliant, but I like this meta articles I You know, I have not been I'll say this I've not been keeping up as much as I probably should be on the SCP wikis like current The crime should say the current meta of the SCP wiki like what articles are and aren't Are and aren't popular right now, but I have heard a lot of people talking about how meta articles are becoming like more and more the The most popular things which is funny because it used to be people complaining about well written emotionally charged articles Being the thing like we don't want that. We just want simple monsters now It's like simple now. It's like stories aren't good enough. We have to do stories about stories Hopefully the SCP wiki does not disappear up its own ass, but no guarantees My day be so fine then boom termination test. Why do they always do that? I don't understand it either Just leave leave 682 alone God that is an ancient meme that I just did that even though this is a meme video. I bet most people Watching it are too young to remember. I wouldn't was leave Brittany alone. Jesus. It was early 2000s mid-2000s. I Feel like it was before YouTube, but it might have been after YouTube A long long time ago SCP-2000 xk into the world scenario. I'm sorry sonar scenario Yeah They added an extra you But don't worry the anomalies have more there's in k ik Okay, skr k ek Fk zk a k uk. So there's the North Korea I'll try to just let's go through these really quick North Korea South Korea Maryland Monroe. No, North Korea South Korea Rk No, ek Eldridge night fk, you know what that's gonna be zk No a k Alaska uk United Kingdom wk Hmm Stop my head dk Donkey Kong I feel like there really would be an in k class There we go. What's what's North Korea up to now? Dude an SCP 5000 You know what though? I'll say this I Feel like the GOC should have been the one wielding the blanket trying to put out the fire The SCP foundation should have been the fire You don't need the world in there to be honest with you. Oh my god You know, I've seen this so many times and I'm a huge huge fan of community This is the first time I've noticed it in the upper left hand corner. There are Stylized pastel pictures of or I'm sorry, maybe paintings. I don't know of a bed and Troy That's really awesome Or that look like Chevy Chase's leg is in the fire. I can't be good Offsite fans that won't shut up out of a specific SCP from containment breach calling modern riders and on-site fans gatekeepers the fans that are literally just asking them to become More familiar with SCPs and engage more with the community Yeah Problem is that when somebody gets they get hyper focused on one SCP They're like I have to only talk about SCP 682 for the rest of my life And of course in a couple months they forget all about it and don't even really well They don't forget all about it, but it becomes less Intricate it becomes less a part of their personality Lee Let me tell you something new SCP fans. This isn't gatekeeping Picking an SCP you're a fan of and constantly talking about it isn't a personality It's all I'm saying Just become familiar with the whole community Foundation anti-mimetics researchers be like I am once again asking what this place is and why I'm here That was that was a real bad Bernie Sanders. Let's see. I am once now. Let's see Kind of higher right I am once again asking yeah, but rougher high and rough I am once again asking what this place is and why I'm here I got the what I got him good on the what this place is not great, but better. Yeah, I'll work on it Foundation contains highly lethal entities or objects and non lethal what I don't understand That's not what the purpose is also foundation. I'm just a guy with the fish head I feel like this would have been funnier if it'd been like good bad I'm the guy with the fish head good weird Everyone else the scp foundation re-research and contain thousands of dangerous anomalies the anti-mimetics division The anomaly stole my weapon and wiped my memory of the theft Except if it stole your weapon and wiped your memory of the theft. How do you know it's still your weapon? Just say it's all What you see I want to respond to this one what gives people feelings of power money status the infographic show correcting you versus scp. Yes, stop. Stop that. That is not. No, no Stop like I did a video to correct it and even I was feeling that was a little iffy, but people do in Victory laps based on what they managed to accomplish to get people to like correct things and be like ha ha We have power Stop that No, you don't and even if you do it.  I won I don't know in even in there. Is it a win? They wanted to be correct. They wanted to be correct from the beginning They made some mistakes. They recognized those mistakes and they did it This is more about their growth than it is about your power. Let me just say that All right The virgin database needs to be censored boring document God our horror writers who want to cause destruction destruction Keeter oh five eyes only the Chad story of your life Everyone knows about it interesting tale can only be documented through a narrative format Archon discovered by a group of researchers. So This goes back to an old piece of advice I used to give people on writing which is don't use redaction as an excuse not to tell a story Which is what happens in a lot of very early SCP documents like redactions are used in the place of exciting or even interesting narrative and Not all articles have to have a narrative like because this is flash fiction It can just be throw it down three paragraphs if you're good and it's fine But but more often than not they're not good and the redactions are used as I said as an excuse not to have Actual decent articles, which is the opposite of what they should be used for let's put that way and that's the last one I think Oh boy It has been an interesting two and a half almost three weeks I think I will say the next dank memes video will be out on a Tuesday again everything that schedules not changing this just Happened to line up and I wanted to make sure I got one of these out So it'll be next week and then the next Tuesday.

Back in the kitchen with my special guest Sophia! Hey guys! You might remember her from two years ago. She came on the show and showed me how to make her macaroni and cheese. So today I invited her back and she's going to show me how to make Spaghetti and Meatballs Dano's Edition. Dano's Edition. Let's get to it. So what's the first thing we're going to do? So first we're going to have to use these breadcrumbs. We're going to dump all these in here. You said that was like three equivalent like three slices of bread. Now we're going to take one or one and a half cup milk and dump it in there for like five minutes just to let them all soak. Cheesy? Yeah. Alright. Sprinkle generously, right? It can be more than generously. More than generously. I like it. Now we just wait for this to soak up all that moisture and flavor. Yeah. Give it a mix. Alright so now while our bread is soaking we're going to go ahead and use some spaghetti noodles. And salt our water. Now do you break them in half or you put them in whole? Sorry Italians but we're breaking them in half. Breaking them in half. There you go. Alright so I can see that we're almost soaked up here on our breadcrumbs. Now we're going to go in with four cloves of minced garlic and one spoonful. And then we have one pound of sweet Italian sausage. You're going to dump that in there. One pound of sweet Italian sausage. And then one pound of ground beef. One pound of ground beef. Can you put that in there? More cheese? Yeah. I like it. Now we have to mix all that together. I almost forgot an egg but you have to make sure to add the egg. There we go. Sophia's making a mess in the Dano's kitchen. Alright well we added a little bit too much milk so we're going to add another pound of ground beef. Put that in there. Now I think we'll be just right. Alright so now what's next? Now we got to roll them into one and a half inch balls to make our meatballs and we're going to put a dredge them in flour. I'll let you and your friend do that. Okay. I'm going to take a break. This is Olivia and she's going to be helping me. Let's get to rolling. Now we're going to put a little bit of olive oil just to help them cook and we're going to cook them on each side for around two minutes. Now we got to make the sauce. Alright. Now so we're going to use 56 ounces of fresh tomatoes. So let's add another four cloves of garlic. There we go. And then one cup of chopped onions. Going in. Dano's kitchen. Sprinkle generously. Get that mixed up. The meatballs are cooking. Our sauce is cooking. Noodles are done. What's next? Now we have to chop up a couple basil leaves and we're going to put the bay leaves in a little bit. You said two bay leaves? Mm-hmm. I explain this. We want the meatballs nice and golden. That way we can put them in the sauce and like go cook all the way through in the sauce. Alright so now we got them all brown so we're going to go ahead and add the sauce in so that I can all kind of cook together. Alright. Pour right over the top. Uh-huh. Alright now we're just going to go ahead and put our lid on and let it sit for like 25-30 minutes. Easy enough. Alright now that our sauce has been sitting we're going to dig in. Take out the bay leaves first. Or just make sure you don't scoop them in right? Yeah. Just don't eat them. It's looking like a pretty good meatball to me. How many meatballs do you like to put on there? Uh we can put three. Three. Alright. And before we dig in we just go top it with some extra cheese in it. Alright. Sprinkle generously right? Alright now who's going to be the taste tester? Who's going to try this first? Uh you and my dad can. Alright let's get him in here. There we go. Right? Let's give it a try. Cheers. I must say I've never had the milk, the breadcrumbs with the milk bad as a phenomenal meatball. I appreciate you sharing that recipe with me. Day in Tastic Meatballs for Getty. That's right yum yum get yourself if you all enjoyed the video. Leave us a like, leave us a comment. We'll see you next time. Keeps Freakling.
