Ladies and gentlemen, I know you have been waiting for this for so long. Me and Vic is an unbreakable duo.  Me and Vic just did a best of five 1v1 head to head Superstar KO. He's actually really sick. We didn't know you could do that. It's a new feature this year. Shocker, he kind of added something. So you can check that out on Vic's channel. And right now we're gonna run 2v2 Superstar KO like just straight up. I'm feeling we're gonna clap cheeks and I'm excited. Um, do you want to be quarterback or do you wanna be a running back slash wide receiver? Running back receiver. I'll let you call the shots. I love it. Last time I played this against other people, it was in the beta. So I was playing like the same people every single time. So now we're gonna play with new people. This'll be fun. I think XXHavory69 is picking. I love Keybro. I like Ground and Pound not because I like them at all, but because their uniforms are sick. They're the coolest uniforms I've seen in a long time. You know what's crazy? They should update us to where the uniforms are like alternates in home away. Oh, there's so much to do. There's so much they could do that they don't. This is tough though. Do you want to do? Yeah. Oh, actually, no, I think I'm still picking. Yeah, I like that. I think that's a good call. I want to go Barclay too. Especially because you're going to be running as Barclay and we got to wait. We got to wait for Tyree kill. I don't want to take a wide receiver because Tyree kill.  Corners are really good and we can user it, but Bosa has relentless.  We went on top before. So yeah, Jair. Let's get, yeah. He has shut down, which is tighter coverage and more of a set for us. For sweaters, bro. You know that now? We're super Starrkayo sweaters. Who? Oh boy, Keenan Allen. Mike Evans, Delvin Cook. Well, we can take, we can get two wide receivers. So I think we go like Evans because that man. Yeah, Keenan Allen has buns in this mode. Like he's just too slow.  And he has max security. Yeah, who? He 100% should have doubled. For sure. He doubled me in a rack. Something, but max security? Who wants that?  It was so good. Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg? Yeah, it was a Snoop Dogg. That was ridiculous. Who else do they have? That was like. They had the homie goes. They had Yachty at quarterback. They had Callie at quarterback, but they were bad. Callie, I remember that as badass. I think he was one of the first players. Yeah, he was totally.  He had that Miami team.  And is he still asked? Dude, yes. Max security.  I know you want him. You're so pumped right now. Yeah. I tried to play it off, you know, but I can't do it. I wish they gave him avalanche. They gave Derwin avalanche so much better. In Christian, it's a break tackle after the catch. So it's gonna be the same thing with George Kittle. Oh, damn, that's all our offense. Also boys, I'm so pumped because football season is finally getting started. That also means I'm gonna be using DraftKings a lot this year. So huge shout out to them for sponsoring today's video. And there's an awesome promo in DraftKings right now.

All right, I'm blocking everybody. I'm gonna let you get open. Oh. Damn. I'ma do it.  Good luck, my friend. Possession. Oh. He pushed me. Oh, you caught that though. Can you run a corner post? So bring them all like exactly how you just did. Then take it back to the middle of the field. You know what I mean? To the left, I got you, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you. All right, it should be good. Not a lot of pressure here. I forgot just.  Oh wait. Oh yes, dude. I think there's a roughing the passway too.  Let's go. Oh, we have to bail out. We have to bail out no matter what. All right. Whoa, like I can't cut with Kittle. We gotta get ourselves a tire you kill. It's all good.  It doesn't make their stats any better. Whoa. And I didn't mean to bail out. You see that? Let's go. It was too easy. Great running. All right, this is the RPO. If it's the, oh, they took McCaffrey out. I didn't have stamina during plays. Yeah, they took McCaffrey out. I think I'm gonna throw this to Green. No lie.  I don't know how to run that route.  You got it. You got it. Look at her. Tyran RPOs. It's not what you have to do is when the game starts up.  He's looking for the post. I said he's looking for the post, dude. I should have bet on that if they're on the Jays. That's my fault. They gotta get the two-point. I think we're gonna win right here. They better not run this ball. Yelp, I'm there. I'm there, let's go. I didn't lost the ball. Game over. Too easy.  You just hit a bomb passing the ball. So now you run the ball.  Who else would be good? Tyran could be good, I guess. Diggs would probably be good. He probably cuts pretty quick. Julio is nuts, dude. Julio is nuts. Oh, okay, defense. I feel like we gotta go milescare. He can just wreak havoc. There we go, yeah. Two ulcerers on defense. Let's get it. Can't skip this and free bird. All right, I'm gonna hit you with the hat bag misdirection. This play's actually been kind of cracked this year. And you ran the ball real well last time. All right, let's see if you're there. Oh! They were all over that. They were. Usually the corner comes down, but the corner stayed on the outside and the lobbacker went for the hole. This is, I trust the ground and pound.  I'm going right back to it. I'm literally going right back to it. You got it, my guy. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's why we do it. We go lead dive now. I'm gonna switch on to juicy juice. I'm gonna give you the block of a life.  Oh, I couldn't. Damn it. But hey, let's go. Now we hit him with the power O, like the actual play accident. This will actually kind of confuse them. Got him. It got him, bro. It got him. Let's get it. No, you're good. You're good. I'm stuck. Ooh. Damn, good play. I'm a kid coming down for a crack back. Dude! Did you see that? I was such a late hit. I just laid somebody out. Oh, yes. Inside zone. As long as they get that guy on the left side, I'm good. If they get that guy on the left side, I'm straight. Let's see it, baby. OK. Let's go. Oh, I have no idea what I clicked, and I can't audible. Oh, it's a pass, bro. Wait a second. This might actually saw a smoke. Yeah, get in the corner with the kiddle. That back right corner. You're going to be there, baby. I see you. You got it. Let's go. Clean. That was so clean. I'm going to scooby-spy. I think Lamar might try to scramble here. Yeah, here he goes. I'm getting on the QB. I'm getting on the QB. Oh. Oh, damn. Dude! What was that? Come on, bro. You got to want it. He's going to run like a sticky thing.  That's game over. We need a legendary Miles Jack after that. Literally. Here's offense. Wait, do we already have a running back? It's just going to be. So it's either we go Lamar or we go Deandre Hopkins. Like, if you want to run routes in Deandre Hopkins. Jaylen Hurts is still on pretty well. If you'd rather run routes in Deandre Hopkins. Let's get hot. I like it. I'm sure he's pretty fast. And Hurts is doing really good now, dude. He's doing really good. Yeah, he's playing, bro. Wait, who is their quarterback? Oh, it's my homer. I'm going to do it, bro. I'm going to do it. No! What? What? Oh my god, and they're showing, Vic, we cannot lose this game. We absolutely cannot lose this game. Dude, I had two guys who could have picked one. It could technically be a run because there is one run in their playbook, but it's really unlikely.  There's no way to have my homes, and they don't pass the ball. All right, that's fine. I'm going. Yep, let's go. Let's go. We're going to get this dub. We're going to get this dub. I think that's Miles Jack. Are you wild? Oh my god! No! Hurts! Hurts! Don't make us regret it. I obviously got it, seriously. Listen, we don't got to get through all four, but in my books, we're two wins in, and I just need a tirey kill. Dude! I got kicked. Oh my god. Let's go. No more EA lagging us out. No more end connections. Ground and pound. Let's get our squad. Oh, dude, that was the first time of Mario Cooper. I feel like we got to do it. He's ulcerer too. He's got to have some good abilities. Like, if it was a Wagner rare, he'll have avalanche, then he'll also have, like, you know, inside stuff or something. Well, let's take Bobby Wagner for avalanche, bro. I kind of want to go Wagner. Dude, it's so OP. Oh, they gave us your ball. Do it. Do it, baby. Wait, is that double avalanche? Yes! I literally just asked for more, because I know I got avalanche. He's so excited. This is the one that we're going to get Tyreek in now, for sure. I got you with eggs. Ooh, ooh, I'm going to get a block. Easy, bro. I'm waiting. They don't matter. 15 yards, we take those. Outside apprentice route taking deep out elite. Yeah, that's nice. I'll see if I can dust this dude over here. Um, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. That's a tutty. Oh my gosh! That's a tutty! Oh my God, toast it on him, bro. We're back in it, baby. This running play is overpowered. Is this stretch with the lead locker? Yes, this is like, look at that.  Look at that. Look at that, look at that. You have three lanes to choose from. What other abilities? Enforcer? Oh, oh, I'm going through the mill. I'm on his head. Let's go. Zoned and enabled home players involved in touchdowns or takeaways enter the, oh, enter the zone. Bro, this is superstar KO.  All right, we're in a quick zone here. See if they throw something underneath, hopefully, and they get absolutely cracked. I'm using the weird camera angle. It's kind of nice for this. We're getting those downhill hitsticks or at least that's the goal anyway. I think it's going to be a drag route on both of these dudes. Oh, get him, get him, get him. Oh my God! Wait, what? Did we get the ball? Oh my God, did it? Yes, I can't. They were not ready for the avalanches, dude. Let's go!  It was perfect. I literally ran straight at him. Oh, wait a second yet, because you're quarterback. Let's give him a home. All right, the double avalanche, baby. Can they handle the double avalanche? All right, we need just one big hit in the game. Literally, bro, it's over. They have Tyreek. Uh-oh. They have Tyreek. And they're not on it. Dude's a Noah fan. Catch it and run. Go ahead. He just sat there and waited for him. Yep. Oh, I just got a rough pass here. No, it's passing the fierce. Oh, you hit him. But he caught it anyway, so they're, wait, they accepted it? Oh, because they get 10 tacked onto the play. Play action. Oh, Evans is open. You got it, you got it. Damn. I can't believe they didn't go to Evans. This is our big stop right here, my man. All right, we're setting the pressure. We're setting the heat.  Oh, boy. Oh, damn, dude. These guys are pretty good. We score, we get our two-point, don't matter. That's what we do. I want to go tug of war. Oh, because you can't get him in that. Oh. On your right, come in, go. Oh, wait. Oh my god, he put a lot under that. Am I going to get there? Oh, he's got Bazooka. Dude, I couldn't figure that out for a second. I was like, that's the deepest mess I've ever seen. But it makes sense. All right, hey, give him that saucy stretch, I think, and we'll get it, yeah? This is big, baby. This is big. All the marbles, oh, they're sinking to it. They're sinking to it. He's through. Oh. Great play, my hand broke. I think we're going to have to end on that, but that was just a good play. You've got to give credit to your opponents for that. They had six players. Yeah, they had the full squad. We only had four. Wait, what? Damn, that was so OP. No, the double avalanches is such a good start. We got to do that next time for sure. Hey, dude, well, Vic, thank you so much for playing with me, bro. Guys, make sure you check out Vic. Check out that five of the best of five we've played.  And I love you. Thank you for watching us always, boys. I'll see you in the next video. Peace out.


Hello and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brenton today. We are doing an updated guide of how to get a the ore The last one wasn't really good And since then I've collected a lot more and kind of know the best place Well where I find the best place to find it So I thought I'd let you know and that is actually in The main area Errol shores of Imperia There seems to be like nothing around at the moment, but that's fine but essentially the other one was going into I Think it was out of ethanol, which is not the best anymore. Well, it wasn't really the best to start with I find this one a lot easy. Here's one right here boom Boom, there's an aether dust good job So yeah in this you can get to each time you switch around so each room There is two as long as they haven't already been collected, but two spawn in each room At one time, there's a whole lot of locations Make sure you just check over here as well and all the way back down here But this is where I've collected all of the aether ore that I have currently and aether dust for the crafting of the Riviera weapon as you can see 25 aether or six dust at the moment mainly because I transmuted all of the remaining over to Thing there's another one. There's a second for this realm So if you're going for just aether ore, I suggest just switching realms a whole bunch Get the two switch realms get the two switch realms get the two switch realms The only problem is don't do this during double reagents. It's great But if you're doing it during double reagents, make sure you are doing it at an off time where like not many people are on Otherwise you're not gonna get anything because people just spam collects spam collect either or around the place It's ridiculous See I tried during the most recent double reagents and that was that was a big issue for me Collecting the stuff. So yeah, you can also get a whole bunch of other stuff like stone blocks and deep mushrooms and comment tails as well But obviously that's not what the video is about. So yeah, there's a whole bunch that can spawn There's a whole bunch of different spawning places to can spawn pill realm Just walk around. There's one right over there. You see Commentail good one right here Stone block here as well, which is cool. I just collect everything because I know I'm gonna need it later But if you're just going for the revered weapon, one can spawn up here, which is why I keep going up there If you're just going for the revered weapon, just try and find the two and then switch realms One can I can't remember where it is, but one can spawn in one of these wee little holes One can spawn right here. Obviously because that's where one is One can also spawn up around here You can also find one I think down here was where we found the last one one can be like right up over here And then one can be here and then also another one here ish And then one can be over here by this boat thing like right up there And then the other one can that I've found currently can be over here I'm gonna just get these commentails. I don't know why I just collect Since I say it's bad. It's actually good and then one can spawn up in here So yeah, those are where they can spawn. There's a couple of other places. I didn't show but I mean They're not very difficult to see especially if you just like walk around in the same route after a while You'll get used to where they can spawn So yeah, this is just a really short video an updated guide on this because the first one wasn't the best And you know only the best guides do So yeah, thank you for watching and to the luck and subscribe enough of a very subscribe press the wee little bell So you know exactly when I post another video and remember craft outside the box


Good evening and welcome back to byline. This is a public affairs show here at Amherst Media and it's co-sponsored with the Amherst League of Women Voters. And back by popular demand is the vice chair of our town council, Mandy Jo Henneke. And she's here tonight in a different role. We're going to be focusing on the committee that you are chairing, which is a very, very important committee. It is the committee on governance, organization, and legislation. That's a big portfolio. So we want to learn how things are unfolding as you're putting this committee together and as the committee is doing its work. And so we had a brief conversation the other day and so let's start with organization. What are you organizing? We're organizing ourselves in a way, but we're also organizing how we operate and some part of how the town operates. The town manager has that organizational on the executive side, but we've been forming committees both for the town council and we did form an energy and climate action committee that will be a town committee to work on that because we thought that was a missing segment of our committee structure. And so the governance committee, that's one of the shorthands I use, is just governance because it's long. It's the first word of the committee. We also call it the GOL committee as the abbreviation, and we've been looking... Which could be the goal committee. Yeah, it's a goal committee. We're looking at on the charges of committees, what do they do? And so we've been making sure they are clear, consistent, and actionable. And do we have the ones we need on the town council? And so our main function right now has been to look at what's been proposed and make sure they're consistent across sort of uses and clear so that a resident, if they're looking at what's this committee do, can read it and understand it fairly easily. Okay, so there's a series of what I might call operational committees that are in place right now. These are... Some of them come out of the charter? Yes. And then some of them have been developed by the council itself in order to effectively organize the work that you're going to do? Correct. And then there's going to be policy committees. Yes. And the policy committees, an example would be the Energy and Climate Change Committee. Yep. Right? So the operational committees at this point include the finance committee, help us. So finance, and that one's out of the charter. Yeah. The... What's it called? It's abbreviation. So it's outreach communications and appointments. Good. And there is our committee, the governance, organization, and legislation committee. There's going to be a new one by the time this airs probably called the community resources committee. And then there are a couple of ad hoc committees on top of that. There's a by-law review committee per the charter, and there is a rules of procedure committee per the charter to generate and draft the council rules of operation. Okay. And so your committee in its organizational function, which is the middle word of the committee title, you're trying to bring order to the committees and how they... When you form a committee, various things that need to be done. So for example, a committee has to have a charge. Yes. What else does a committee have to have? Well, so the charge is...  What are they told to do? What are their sort of operational... What can they do? What do we want them to do? And so there's been... What were they created to do? Yeah. Their purpose. If you look at the current committee charges, their goals and why they were created, they're all over the place in terms of structure. And so it's really hard to say... To look at something and say, where's the membership in that? You can't. And so our goal in looking at all of these was to create a template, a document that you could put everything in so that any resident looking at them would know, here's where you'll find how many members there are, whether they're voting or not. Here's where you'll find its purpose. Here's where you'll find what they are capable of doing under that purpose. Here's where you'll find do they have to report and who do they report to. And who appoints them. And also who appoints them. Who has the authority to appoint them. Yeah. And how long that appointment would be, whether it's one year or three years or five, how long you'd be on it. So there's a series of boxes that you have to tick off when you're writing up a proposal to create a committee. So that when the council takes a look at it, they have the answers to the basic questions in order to decide whether or not to create that committee. Yes. And what else do you see, what else is involved in that? So for example, what about applying for membership on the committee? Is that within your jurisdiction? That is not. Okay. Yeah. So once a committee's formed, any proposal they come back to the council would eventually end up at our committee. But for things like applications, that actually goes to a different committee depending on who the appointing authority is. But there's a process on the town website where residents can indicate their interest in committees. And so the goal of our template is to put them on every committee. So people know what to expect if they want to join that committee. What is it doing? What has it done? Very good. We're instituting a request to our council that every committee have a reporting requirement. So that the council knows what the committees are doing. Because many of them might not actually ever bring anything back to the council. But also so that a resident can see what happened in the last year. And if you go to the town website when the system is all working properly. And you click on that committee, whatever the committee is that you're interested potentially, you're interested in the subject matter. So you can click on that committee and you'll be able to read the purpose of the committee, the jurisdiction of the committee. How many people are going to be on the committee? Is it a council only membership? Is it a town? If you are on as a resident of the community, like the finance committee has a bunch of town council people who vote, but they are also going to have several people from the community who are not voting members. But they participate in the discussion and feed into that whole process. So you'll be able to go to the town website at some point not so long from now. Hopefully, and you'll be able to, in addition to seeing the form that you fill out to apply for membership, you'll also be able to see a very clear outline of each committee. And it'll be consistent. It'll be consistent across all the committees. And that's our goal as the governance committee is to make that consistent so that it's predictable. Right. Okay. So the finance committee right now is busily working on its review of the budget and all of that. You're still working on this boilerplate for the committee. There's supposed to be non-voting community residents on that committee. How does that fit into what you're doing now? So that doesn't really come back to us, at least the non-residents. That would go to the outreach communications and appointments committee. If we hadn't had a rules committee, a rules of procedure committee, that ad hoc committee that's creating rules, the process for that appointments or a recommendation would have actually come to the governance committee because there's a slight conflict in the charter as to who appoints those non-resident members of the finance. And that sort of recommended process coming up with a recommendation was sent to the rules committee when rules dissolves, when they're done in their initial, we've created the rules for the council, that question would come to us, questions of that type of procedure. Okay. So this is a very important point, which is the ad hoc rules committee and your committee and the outreach committee all have a certain amount of overlap right now, but as our government continues to be put together and things are finalized, we're going to see appropriate coordination among committees, but we're also going to see some change because, for example, you just said that the ad hoc rules committee is going to dissolve. And once the ad hoc rules committee dissolves, that puts the questions that would otherwise have gone to that committee, to your committee under governance. Under the governance portion. Under the governance. Yes. So we're going to come to governance in just a minute. Yeah. Let's get up on this on the committees. So you can't, you don't create committees, you, the council can propose a committee. Yeah. A person in the community could propose a committee and petition the council. Yeah. What you're doing, and that's not your decision whether to create that committee or not. That's the council's decision. That's the council's decision. Your work is to make sure we have an orderly clear structure when we decide we're going to have a committee on this. These are the elements that the town council is going to look at to make sure that they're all there and they make sense, but they will ultimately vote whether to create that committee or not and what the jurisdiction is, what the purpose is, how many members, et cetera, et cetera. Yes. There is discussion on whether, you know, as we figure all of this out, though, the recommendation to create a committee, the governance committee as a whole is discussing whether recommendations such as that could come from governance directly. Through our review of organization of committees, you know, that organization portion, are we organized properly? Do we have a recommendation? Are we missing something? Are we not? We're in, as a committee, discussions over multiple meetings on, is that an appropriate function of our committee? Again, we're all learning, so we're trying to figure out our scope and that's part of our discussion is, is that within our scope to review structures and actually make a proposal ourselves to the council? That kind of makes sense because any member of the council could propose a committee and your committee is a group of members of the council. So a group of the members of the council, independently of your committee could do that. So maybe that could also be a function of your committee, but not to the exclusion of any individual council or even the public. And that recommendation, us wanting to recommend the creation of a committee doesn't automatically create it because it's ultimately the council's decision to say yay or nay to any recommendation, whether that comes from a resident and other council or a committee if the committee decides it's within its jurisdiction to make those recommendations. So now, let's assume, let's fast forward, your boilerplate is done, the council has embraced it, the system is working, the ad hoc rules committee dissolved last week, talk about governance and the role of governance as part of your committee's jurisdiction. Yes, so the governance portion is sort of the internal rules of how the council will operate. How are we going to govern ourselves? So part of that is which committees, but part of it is how do we run meetings? How do we require certain above and beyond charter or legal requirements in the state, different voting requirements? And how are we going to conduct ourselves at meetings? That's what rules of procedure, as Alyssa I'm sure has talked about on the show, is looking at. But once that is adopted, our committee will undertake probably yearly a review of them to see is this working, is it not, are we missing something, are we not, the committee, the governance committee is the one that's going to be sort of in charge of those reviews and then the recommendations back to a council for any changes if we see it. But if someone else recommends a change, it would then come to governance for that review. So once the council adopts those final rules, the governance committee is the committee that becomes sort of the caretaker of those rules. And so from time to time you may review and revise those rules by vote of the council and it could be that the council sends a question to your committee to research and think about because it's not working quite as well as they like or the committee itself could observe that, gee, we missed something here because we didn't anticipate X, Y, or Z and now we need to propose something to the full body as to how we're going to operate. And so the rules are not just how the council is going to operate. Correct? Correct. It's also how the public and the residents communicate with us too. So those rules will encompass public participation in meetings. Things like public comment, when that happens, what an agenda looks like, how long, and just addressing, manners of addressing each other and respect and things like that. So it's not just internal, but it's also communications. We would call in legislative bodies quorum. Yes, we're trying to avoid that word because it's an archaic word. Well, and it also doesn't feel like Amherst. Right. But legislative bodies have to operate in a way that allows for civil communication and discussion and engagement, even in situations that can get very hot and heavy. And yet you have a public responsibility to conduct that conversation in a way that brings honor to the body and reflects well upon the community. Not to mention on individual counselors who presumably want to put their best foot forward at all times. So this will also be about how people interact with the council around public hearings or presentation of proposals. That's not exactly the jurisdiction of your committee, is it though? With regard to if I want to present the petition, the charter speaks to how I, as a resident of the community, can put forward an idea through a petition. Yes. The petition then has to be received by the council. Whose job is it to set the rules and the procedures and the approach? And is that starting to get us into the conversation on legislation? It is, yeah. The charter, as you said, sets forth some specific things. Our internal rules that the Rules of Procedure Committee is working on will set forth some other, flesh that out a little bit more. But then when it's at the council and it's not maybe ready for action, or the council wants to be deliberative and thorough, so they don't want to necessarily adopt something on a first time forward. They want to know pros and cons and all of that. Where does it go? And right now, there really isn't a committee for that. There will be when community resources is adopted, there'll be a committee for some of that policy discussion and debate and all. And anything financial goes to the finance committee. But the governance committee is trying to figure out, do we have any role in that beyond what our current charge says, which is we would look at those measures and they would ultimately, everything like that would come to us as a final look. But what is that look? And that's one other thing we've been discussing in the council in our committee is what is that look? And is it a policy-based look or not? Or should it be a policy-based look? And at this point, we are avoiding the policy-based look. Not only does our charge say no, but we're concerned about things about that. So we're looking at it when it does come to us for clarity, consistency, and actionability without regard to what our own personal feelings on the actual policy presented is. So it's more in the nature, that function is more in the nature of determining whether it is, whether the eyes have been dotted and the T's have been crossed in relation to the rules of the body. And the specific dictates of the charter with regard to certain matters. So in the state legislature, we call that the committee on the rules, the committee on bills in the third reading. And basically on the third reading of the bill, it goes to that committee, whose purpose it is to make sure that it's constitutionally accurate. It's been drafted properly to achieve the intended outcome. If you're supposed to be making desserts, and the word beef shows up, that probably is a mistake. And therefore, you're probably going to want to edit that out, because you're not making, that's not a policy decision, that's a question of accuracy. If somebody says, oh no, I'm redefining beef as a dessert, that's a different story. But you understand what I'm saying here is that this is about the accuracy and that it's complying with all other existing provisions. So for example, you could also identify, couldn't you, where it might conflict with another policy or bylaw or something like that? Yeah, actually we did. And we've adopted guidelines so that people can have a predictability of what we're going to be looking at things for. So actionability would be, does it conflict with a current bylaw? Does it conflict with mass general law? Does it conflict with our charter? And conflicting with, say, a current bylaw is not necessarily bad, because you might be trying to change the current bylaw policy in a different manner, but to identify that, hey, it does conflict. It creates a conflict and you have to resolve that. How are you going to do it? Are you in effect repealing the portion of the previous bylaw and substituting this? Or are you intentionally going to create this for some reason, which is not a very good idea in most instances? No, for example, there's a current bylaw, the signed bylaw. Sign regulations show up in two bylaws, in both the general bylaw and the zoning bylaw, and they actually conflict. So it needs taken care of, obviously, but our role would be, hey, someone might not realize there's already something dealing with it in, say, zoning if they propose one in a general bylaw, and our role would be there's something in zoning and it conflicts with that. We should, if we like this policy, deal with that at the same time, but not and say, oh, because it conflicts, we can't do it. Versus if it conflicts with the charter, that's a potentially different recommendation. Got it. So the legislation committee is, sorry, the legislation portion of the work of your committee, you're doing the same thing that you're doing in the other two governance and organization where you're trying to create predictable, transparent process so people know what to expect and how it's going to work. And some of those things are gonna be identical, whether it's something from a town department or the public, a town council or a committee of the council. And sometimes there may be some differences in the procedure or the process, but it will be clear why. Yes. And it'll be a policy decision as to why we're handling this this way versus that way. And it'll be a decision of the council that yes, we're going to do that way. Yes. Okay. And so now that's all about transparency and providing opportunity for engagement and clarity, et cetera. It can be surprises and things that can also get a little confusing. Okay, let's take an example. Are there things that sometimes it's gonna be unclear whether it goes to this committee or that committee? And if that happens, what do we do? We haven't totally had that happen yet, but yeah, there certainly will because there will be times where there's a bylaw that's proposed that would clearly have financial impacts, but has a policy behind it and the council will want to know what the pros and cons of that policy are. And then obviously it's a bylaw so it's got legislation issues of is it even allowable to enact? Does it comport with and comply with state law? And so we haven't had to deal with that on the council yet, but in various side discussions on council as we've broached this subject, not like outside of council meetings, but the general feeling seems to be that it would go to all the committees and the question is, does it go all at the same time or does it go one-on-one? And we actually found- You mean in sequence? In sequence or does say if it's a planning related item that might have financial impact, does it go to community resources at the same time that it's at finance, at the same time that it's at legislation and governance committee? And we as a governance committee, we tried that with the energy and climate action committee charge where it was still being modified by the charge sponsors at the same time we were trying to figure out whether it was clear, consistent and actionable and we decided that doesn't work very well because we never were sure what version we should be looking at. So it was in too many places at the same time? It was, for that reason. So we've sort of recommended that any changes to policy be done before governance sees, it's referred to governance for final determination because we wanna see what is believed to be the final version, not while policies are still changing in it because that makes it hard to determine consistently. And if there's a fiscal impact, does it go to the finance committee before governance or after? So it would be before governance. We want governance to be the last person to see it. The question would be, does it sit at finance at the same time it sits at, say, community resources if it has a financial impact but is related to planning? And that's something we as a council have not had an experience with yet. So we're not sure, but it'll probably be a trial and error. Can it be done at the same time or does it, as we tried it with governance and legislation and drafters, does it really need separated sequentially? So if this is helpful in the state legislature, the policy committee sees the bill and makes a recommendation on the bill first. If it recommends it favorably and there's a potential fiscal impact, it goes to the budget committee next to determine what the amount of money is that it will cost. And then if they, once they decide to release it saying we agree with the policy and we can afford it, it then goes to the floor for debate. And after the debate, the first debate on the floor, if it's approved, it moves to what would be the governance committee to check for constitutionality, proper drafting, et cetera, before the council takes, I'm sorry, before the legislature, that branch of the legislature takes the final vote. So it's the same- That is helpful. This is the same, these are the same stages that you have to figure out. And at the state legislature, now the difference here is the state legislature is two, there's 160 reps. There's a lot of people running around to do a lot of work. There's 13 of you. There's only 13 of us, yes. So you will have to take that into consideration. We only have a couple of minutes left. Orphan Bills. Orphan Bills, that's the biggest discussion in governance right now. What if there isn't a standing committee on that policy? Where does it go? And right now we've been created some ad hoc committees to deal with that. But governance- As a council. As a council. And governance is, we're only 13 people and our schedules fill up in terms of trying to find this mix. So governance committee has been discussing, is there, should we have another standing committee for those that aren't covered by community resources? Does it belong in governance? And that goes back to my concern and the concern of the governance of policy versus just constitutionality in some sense, actionability. And we wanna keep our own feelings out of and beliefs out of that last decision. And so we're not sure what we're gonna do with that yet. If you start blurring that line, will you be able to maintain the discipline of, oh, this is too, before of us, because there's no policy committee. When 90% of what comes before you is coming from committees that are policy oriented. So that's a very tricky situation. It is. And why we're still in discussions on governance is to what we might want to recommend to the council on that, because it relates to our own charge ourselves of do we recommend a change or are we recommending yet another committee of the council to take those sort of orphan bills. Which again, you have only 13 people. You're part-time volunteers. You've paid a small stipend. You're not full-time legislators. So it's very challenging to stand up a new government, to fly the plane while you're building it, which is what you're doing. And you guys are working really hard at it and it's obvious and we wish you all very, very well. And so what we've learned here very clearly is your committee, and by the way, this show is gonna be broadcast probably in two or three, maybe four weeks, which means some of the decisions will already have been made. But our viewers will at least understand some of the thinking behind what you're doing. But the bottom line is, you're looking to create consistency with regard to how matters are proposed, including how you create a committee, all of the expectations around that, what happens if somebody files legislation, whether it's from the council or from the public, and that there'd be a clear process and transparent and people can predict and know, not the outcome, but the process. So they'll understand the process. The outcome is the debate between the council member, among the council members, and the council and the community. With that, thank you so much. Thank you. Our time goes so fast here. It does, it does. Thank you so much for all your good work. Thank you for having me. And thank you for joining us again tonight.


So now that you understand the anchor factor and how important it is to have a process that you can always go back to in case life gets good and in case life gets bad and that gives you that constant stability and Also now that you understand that it's all about that process and that anchor that process is What creates success knowing that deserving this none? No such thing as characters you know a character traits or Entitlement it's literally about the process now we can get into the third subject of staying even killed throughout your life and Not making decisions out of inspiration or desperation, but only making decisions from a place of even killed rationality so most people in life don't have the the right traction the right Mindset to actually make decisions from an even killed perspective so what they do they wait for a really inspiring Thing to happen meaning. Oh my god, you know, I'm filled with inspiration I'm so happy and this is so amazing and to do things from there or they wait for desperation Meaning that they wait for things to get really really bad until they're forced to make a decision Now personally, I used to be just like that. I used to make decisions Only from emotional places of high ups or very very low downs Where I had basically no choice, but to make that decision So I would usually also give up everything I had before that so I might stop a business completely I might stop what I was doing. I might quit a job. I might Move to another country. I'll just make a really really extreme and irrational decision for the sake of the inspiration or the desperation nowadays what I do is I Simply and rationally and very very even keeled way add a new Habit that supports my new decision. For example, I only recently realized that I want to write 50 books Before I'm dead at least 50 books So I simply added the habit of writing 10 pages every single day to my list of habits So I took my anchor and I basically added something to my anchor Which supports my new idea? I did not wait for that to become like huge inspiration like oh my god I have to do this and I'm gonna quit my job and I'm gonna write for eight hours a day and I also Did not wait until the urge was so strong and I was so unhappy that I was like I hate my life You know, I'm gonna quit everything and just do this from a work from a negative place so the reason people use these decisions the hot the Inspiration decisions or desperation decisions is because they don't have an anchor So they don't have a current process which they can actually transform and change That will be able to adapt to their new idea or new Process so so when they want to write a books for example Because they have no self-control. They have no flow. They can direct They actually have to kind of reset the entire system. So they don't do it and then they you know They go crazy. They're crazy man. I can't happy or crazy Low and and and angry and depressed and It never ends up well and I noticed in my life that not a single Decision that I made that came out of inspiration or desperation ended up being long term it's always short term and it's not even that the decision itself was bad or the idea is that the fact that you kind of Stop everything and start something in new very intensively and expect it to work like that It doesn't work like that in life in life what you want You need to be urgent about the actions that you take every day But you need to be patient about seeing the results the results usually take some time so I Became even killed and again that's coming from a guy who's extreme who's bipolar Who's again like a maniac I became Sorry even killed When I first of all learned that it doesn't work to be extreme whenever I'm extreme is not going to be sustainable So it doesn't even matter. There's no point in starting anything on an emotional win positive or negative because it's not gonna last And the second thing is because I found that it's actually more effective to be even killed So everybody the thing is everybody would like to be even killed even the people who are currently working for that extreme Decision-making place if they could they would prefer to be even killed and rational So the way you do that Is by again going back to the earlier two videos first of all it's about having that anchor Having that process that you do every single day that anchors you No matter what happens and no matter what happens to me through the environment you stay the same and secondly by realizing that If you have the right process you can achieve anything like if I write just ten pages a day which takes me half an hour an hour I Can literally write 3600 pages a year, you know If we ignore the fact that I'll probably revive some of it just As a sheer amount of pages That's enough to write ten ten books By simply adding a small habit Or let's say I want to live a more healthier lifestyle. Let's say I wasn't working out again Instead of being like oh my god. I'm gonna work out. It's gonna be amazing.  I have to work out. It's so bad.   I feel like I should work out more. So let's just add the habit of Maybe working out ten minutes more every day Done But again, I could not do that if I didn't have the anchor and the process mentality already firmly in place Because when you have that anchor you can actually include things you can add it you can change it You have a process that's daily that you can actually modify based on the new Needs and situations you can't do that if you don't have a process. That's that anchors you So have that I hope that makes sense I hope you understand how to become even keeled and stop making decisions that are just whims and will not be long-term anyway And actually make rational decisions that will last and will create Sustainable long-term results in your life and this leads up to the last video of the anchor factor videos so please go to that and If there's any concept that didn't make sense yet Please let me know because I'd love to improve it or not as much improve it But but expand upon it or explain it better Because it's important that it clicks if it doesn't click It's not there. I wanted to click for you. So either let me know what doesn't click I'll either help you in it one-on-one or I could send make a better video That addresses a certain specific point Onto the next video
