Hello, and welcome back to another episode of AZ Update. I'm Anthony Bartolo, joined as always by producer Pierre. Pierre, how's it going? I'm good, how are you? Good, good. Hey, the Canadians came back and tied it up with Vegas 1-1. That is awesome. It's awesome that, you know, I guess all the candidates cheering for the Canadians now, which is amazing. Help us, Obi-Wan.  Seeing Tower lit up as the Canadian colors and all the Leaf fans got upset. But, you know, it's been an interesting go. Also been enjoying Euro, Euro Cup this week as well and last week and Copa America. So a lot of soccer on the TV and dawning. We had a lot of heat on the DM saying, why are you wearing Italian jerseys if you're Maltese? And I said, okay. So I donned my Maltese jersey. Had to pull it out and wear it. I know Maltese never made it to the World Cup or Euro Cup or they have and it's been a long time. I think since the last time they made it at least won the Stanley Cup. But you know what? Proud to be Maltese and definitely gone to the jersey. Producer Pierre. Yes. If a VM is not running, but it is in Azure, are you being built? You are not, if it's not running. Right.  So this is the interesting question that Sonia actually brought up this week. And she actually wrote a blog post about it. And she went through in detail the aspects of this question because this is one of the more popular questions that we receive, our team receives in regards to, hey, if a VM isn't running, but what does that mean that it's not running?  There's so many things that taking consideration, right? It's fairly simple. If it's been decommissioned or deprovisioned, which means the memory, the CPU, the networking has been, the resources have been released, then you're not paying for the compute and the network.  Because basically, it expects the machine to turn back on.  However, you're always paying for the storage for those disks that are hosting your VM. And that's the thing, right? You got to keep in consideration the different ways to shut down the VM itself. If you're shutting it down internally in the OS itself and doing the shutdown mode, like you said, there's still provisioning that, hey, this is going to be turned back on. So don't shut down all the services. So it depends, right? It depends on what your shutdown mechanism is. I know you actually crafted a PowerShell script that you would use to shut down lab VM so that we wouldn't incur major costs. As you said, there's still a cost incurred in terms of storage. Yeah, well, in the portal itself, when you actually create the machine, it'll ask you, do you want to enable auto shutdown?  Because when it notifies half an hour, you could say, oh, no, shut it down, I'm using it right now. Or you could use Azure Automation, which is something I do. In the PowerShell gallery, there's a number of PowerShell scripts that you can shut down the specific machine or reboot a specific machine or restart it or do whatever you need to. I had written a PowerShell script that would look in my subscription because my test description, and there's a good little story about that, where it would enumerate all of the VMs in my subscription and then go shut them down one by one. And the reason I'm doing that, I do that now is because during, and I've used this story before, especially when we're talking about cost management and policies and governance. In a demo, I was creating a VM scale set and I picked, I think it was a G5 size machine just to show, because it was fun to show, hey, there you go, 32 cores and four terabytes of memory. Ooh, it's really cool to show. But then at the end of my demo, I shut the lid off my laptop and went, thank you very much. Have a great day. And I had just deployed 10 G5 machines, which at the time, I think were like $8,000 a month. That was a while ago. Right. I remember that conversation. So at the end of the month, I had 10 machines times $8,000. I had an $80,000 bill that got charged to our cost center and my boss was like, what is that? So now I have this little automation that runs every night at 11.30 Eastern time and just enumerates all the VMs in my subscription, my test subscription and my demo subscription, sorry, and shuts them down. Then I have another one that runs. I had another one and I turned it on. I enable it when we're like doing like MITT tour, like MITT tour or something like that, where I'll turn them back on at eight o'clock in the morning. Right. But right now it's shut down. Regular IT guy in the chat says, I remember that expense report. Yeah, that didn't go well. So good morning to everybody in the chat. We have Jared Shockley here. We have regular IT guy, aka Rick Claus. We have Andrew McCollum and we have Robert Jr. Talking about, oh, emotional support email from the HBO Max intern email that came out yesterday. I got that same email as well. Spam is making the rounds. I'm surprised we didn't get more emails like that during the whole lockdown piece and everybody watching content online. I think with everybody now being able to go outside, we're gonna see a little bit less of that, but it's interesting to see that email come through. I received it. Did you get one of those Pierre? No, I don't, and I'm not familiar maybe. I was disconnected last night and this morning. So what's the story behind that? There's a spam email that's come out. It says it's from HBO Max. I didn't verify. I literally just saw it delete because I don't have the service, but it's just something that's interesting how it caught wind on social in terms of this email that's been going out and it's being shared out. So just keep an eye for that. I did see something on Twitter and it looked like somebody was testing a notification system and then the notification system actually sent it out to all of the subscribers because in Twitter, the screenshot actually says this is a template of what would go out and everybody was dumping on the DevOps person who set that up, which I think is a good thing. We shouldn't be jumping down the throats of people that are having issues, especially when the service is still up, it's just a monitoring problem. Let's jump on to the news. First up, there's apparently updates on Azure Monitor agent that you wanted to talk about.  If you see the article, it's been a while coming when you're doing monitoring, there is a plethora of agents. Yeah, there's one agent for your metrics. There's one agent for your logs. There's one agent for OMS. There's multiple agents. So every time you enroll a virtual machine in especially the ones on-prem for Azure Monitor or log analytics or metrics, you have to start deploying agents and configuring all those agents to send, and yet they can only send to one workspace. Now that's changing. The product group has figured out that this was not optimal. So now that we have one agent, the Azure Monitor agent, and what it does is it reads the data collection rules from the log analytics or Azure Monitor and then collects based on those rules and sends it to wherever it needs to go. So the deployment's a lot simpler because you only deploy one agent, configuring it to send the type of data to the right places is a lot simpler because you create rules and you create multiple rules and assign them to the same agent so you can have, for the people that want to have the hub and spoke Azure Monitor workspace set up, they could have the agent send the data to the hub and they can have the agent send the thing to the spoke so that for environment where there's multiple levels of management, keep in mind if you're doing that, it'll cost you double because you're sending it, you're ingesting that data twice. But there's a lot more flexibility in the deployment and the management of those agent. So now this is GA, generally available, which means if you're looking at onboarding workloads or workstations or virtual machines into Azure Monitor, don't look at the old agents, look at the new agents, so much simpler and better for ingesting data. And I'm guessing that it's collecting data from all facets. So even, there was the announcement of Azure Monitor agent forward at the edge. So IoT edge computing, it doesn't matter now, it's just that agent is listening in on the data stream as it comes in and captures that information. I'm not sure about the one at the edge because the agent that I know that they're talking about here is the one that runs on VMs for Windows and Linux, but it doesn't say anything about IoT gear. So if it's IoT that's Linux based or Windows based, then yes, it would work. But the way it works is the agent gets deployed and it just keeps polling for rules based on the identity of the VM. So you no longer have to put in the agent, the key and the GUID for the workspace where the agent is gonna be sending the stuff. It says, hey, I'm sitting on VM 001. I look to Azure and I say, okay, VM 01, which one, which DCR or data collection rule is assigned to me? This one, this one, this one. So I get it to collect my metrics from here and send them here, my logs from here and send them here, or line the business custom logs from here and send them here. And then it just collects it and sends it. Of course, it compresses it, encrypts it and sends it, but it's doing it all based on those data collection rules, which is a lot simpler to manage going forward than it was with the old agents. Plus you only have to manage one. Now you recently sat down with the product group into have this discussion, actually it was not even a month ago in terms of the updates that are coming out. And I think you had me mentioned here on this video that it was in preview. And so it's exciting now it's become generally available. Yeah, so if you go to that post and I'll put the URL again, if you go to that post in the interview, she actually gives demos on how you create the data collection rules and how it affects and applies to different machines. So this is a really good review. Even though this was in preview, it's still very, very relevant for everyone. And so this video and of course our AZ Update blog post that details all the news that we're talking about today available on itopstalk.com or go to AZ Update Show, aka.msforge slash AZ Update Show. And you get all the articles that we're talking about and the news that we're talking about as well as previous shows as well. Next up in terms of the news, Azure IoT Central updates made available. This is just launched for me. I know we're in June, usually the way the cycle works is that it finishes the end of the month and then we launch it in the next month. The big news here is the digital twin defined language made available through the JSON editor right in Azure itself. What does that mean? So when you're setting up your digital twin environment, you now have the capability of having the JSON file duplicated for your digital twin, digital twin being a replica of your existing on-premises IoT implementation in a virtualized sense so that you can test out, develop upon, you name it. Now the availability to actually see the JSON syntax directly in the JSON editor itself as part of the Azure IoT Central tools. This is important because if you're making changes, you don't have to make the changes and then deploy one by one or you can make the changes and deploy in real time in the digital twin, not affecting the in-production, on-premises implementation. This is from a perspective of ensuring that you even have version management specific to the digital twin and the ability to deploy that. It's a great opportunity to do so directly from the portal as opposed to the requirement of third party tools. I have to admit that I'm a noob when it comes to IoT. So if I understand correctly, digital twins is you have an IoT device and a configuration of a specific workload working on it and you have kind of like a virtual clone of that one sitting in the cloud so that you can test stuff in year before you screw up something on-prem. Correct, so that's the thing, right? You have a virtualized instance of your IoT implementation so that when you're developing solutions, you're developing it in the virtual plane. You're not doing it on production, but you're using the same code. And what's even cooler is the information that's coming in from the on-premises in-production implementation is being funneled into the virtualized plane so that you're always having this live data, even though it's virtualized, which is awesome. Regular IT guys made mention, I'm glad Anthony didn't say on-premise. There's a plethora of times you've told me regular IT guy not to say on-premise and now it's been drilled into my head so we're no longer saying on-premise unless it means well to say it. I've been caught too many times. That's why I now say on-prem. I just say on-prem, everyone, every time. Next up on the news, new cloud regions. Yes. This is a fun one because we open regions all the time. And just as Mark Rozinovich talked about, was it ignite or build? I can't remember. Any new region coming online is automatically configured with availability zones, which is great. But this one, not only does it have all the availability zones built in at GA, it's also self-sustainable. Right. So there's a picture online, and I don't know if you have it, of fields of solar panels. And of course, Twitter going nuts, going, oh, does that mean they shut down at night? No, there's batteries, there's other kinds of... But it is self-sustainable, and it is in our quest to become carbon neutral or carbon negative. So this is going to be cool. I think it's going to be West US 3, and it is online. So if you want to start running your workloads in that region to take advantage of the carbon footprint offset, you can use the Azure, is it called the Azure Resource Mover, and move some of your resource into that region. So that's really, really cool. And so my understanding too is that the region also is including the Azure Availability Zones, which they've mentioned before, when they create the new regions, this will be automatically included in all new regions to ensure resiliency. Yeah, because that's the thing is Availability Zones is basically three separate... It's basically three separate area that are completely independent from one to the other within a data center or within a region. When we, the first, let's say 50 regions that we released, didn't all have it, and then we started backfilling, so trying to turn them on as required. And now it's in part of the GA or the process of spinning up a new region it has to have Availability Zones. And that's awesome that they're doing it on all the new regions and they're also doing it on all existing regions. So I think the hope is that by the end of 2022, all regions that Microsoft deploys in Azure will include Availability Zones for that resiliency, which is important. Yeah, and I think we talked about it last week where some, we now have Availability of having Availability Zones across continent just with region pairs. Right. Yeah, it's exciting. Anything we can do to increase the resiliency of our service, which in turns, increase the resiliency of our customers' services is something that we strive to do. So let's continue on with the news. In the Northern Hemisphere, we're coming to summer and so that means that school is coming to an end and it's interesting because this article just came out this week in regards to preparation for next year. There was a lot of learning over the last 16 months especially because a lot of kids, a lot of students had to learn from home and so there was a lot of advancement in terms of technical adoption and technology adoption amidst the schools and the challenge is being, not every child has a computer and so a lot of schools sent out computers, a lot of students learned on tablets but there's also the back-end challenges as well in regards to just setting up the system to enable these classrooms to actually occur and to understand the resources that are being utilized in regards to this. So this great article that came out and again, we have this link on itobstock.com on the latest AZ Update Post talks about 20 updates that were made available specifically for schools IT administrators should take into consideration. I know in regards to, it's now summertime, everybody needs a break, 100% if you have that opportunity to do so, take it because your mental wellbeing is very important but these are a couple of things to take in consideration when you're planning out for the next school year. Couple of things I wanted to highlight, one here being the school data sync piece where it's taking in consideration your resources of what's being utilized from a school setting, resources in terms of whiteboard utilization or even in some instances virtual machines that are running labs and I've seen this, there's these virtual machines that are running math labs that are being spun up by teachers and then assigned to students. And so there's resources that are being utilized, who's using these resources at what times are these resources being used? How many classrooms are using the resources? Something even as teams is being used in classroom for that communication. That's all being tracked and then the insights are being brought forward through data analytics to understand, okay, so here's where your bottlenecks lie and these are the more compute power is required or more storage power is required from that aspect. And that's something that's great that you have through the school data sync to have that insights in terms of what is actually going on and it's your architecture. The other item I wanted to bring up really quickly because there was a lot, there was third party integration, there's the API management through Microsoft Graph that's also introduced. This one is a big one. Again, with all the third party applications, especially in schools of what's being utilized and every school has their own instance of what they use for learning. Microsoft has gone forth into M365 to create a centralized portal for management of your architecture, of your students and faculty members utilization. Here's an example in terms of teams and groups and the management of that capability specifically setting up channels for classrooms itself. This is a big thing in regards to, we talk about this a lot, centralized pane of glass to go through and understand your management requirements for the schools that you support, all done through the GUI interface on M365. Pierre, what are your thoughts? My thoughts is that is this is fantastic. My wife is a teacher and she's had to pivot to doing the things online and remote learning and stuff like that. So having these processes and these updates to facilitate that makes a huge amount of difference in her life and in my life, because I don't have to be the IT tech support for the school board because of course, when she's sitting at home and she has a problem with the computer, she calls us the IT guys there and they're just like, okay, well, it's not our machine, so we don't care. But having this all done in portals that are independent to the local setup of each of the teacher and the students makes a world of difference. In my area, the schools are set up and as a region as opposed to IT per school. So they have one IT service or one IT department that handles a plethora of schools in a specific geo. And so this would be an awesome tool for them to utilize because they would do this per school and then even get even more granular per class just from a management tool. So I hope, maybe they're looking into this, if not, hey, reach out, definitely interested and help it out if that's required. Let's do a quick shout out to those in the chat room because we've got more people who have joined us. So Andrew has it going. Henry Morales, I apologize. How's it going? Hello, you guys, Steve, Jared Chalkley has joined us. You got it right. You got it right. I've been practicing. It's like that in our premises. I've been practicing both. Speaking of on-premises, regular IT guy. Rabbi Jr. joins us. Paul Jensen, how's it going, sir? He's selling us the drink because we're using the word plethora too many times. And to everybody who's talking in the chat room, awesome for you to be here. We love the fact that you're interacting and chatting with us. And if you're watching this as a recording, definitely check us out on live stream and join into the chat because we always get great ideas and great questions that come into the chat room as well. Let's start talking about it. And if you're watching this offline, if you're watching the recording and you want to participate in the discussions, you can join us on our Discord server. Oh, yes. And then there's a link for the Discord. So aka.ms4 slash itopstalk-discord. Great point, Pierre. Next up, events. Yes. This is a big one. Yes. So there's a Windows event that's happening next week. We can't say much about it other than you definitely do not want to miss this event as they're going to be talking about what's next for Windows. And I'm interested. I tell you, I've been a big fan of Windows for a long time and I've seen it evolve. First version of Windows had used, Pierre. What was that? Two points. No, one point something. Were you on the one? Yep. Because I remember three dot one. That's the furthest back I go. And then that and creating the MS-DOS boot disks to play Doom. Yeah, no, I was on the one of the first versions and I installed that at the time, my 286, which with the turbo button. You have the turbo button, yes. I had the turbo button. So my 286 was, and this was like, I was looking at it going, wow, what am I going to do with this?  Yeah, we've come in a long way since then. You've come a long way. Now you have devices that you wear that have an OS that you would interact with, which is very similar to what you would do on your desktop, but different. So that's why this is a very important event to see what Microsoft has in store for Windows. I'm very intrigued by it. Also today is patch and switch. Actually not patch and switch, testing and production. Exactly. Right, testing and production. So yourself and audio guy, Steve, AKA Jared Shockley, will be on to talk about, I think you're talking about audio today, right? We are talking about multiple things. Work updates, updates in general for streaming setup in terms of OBS and others. And of course, we're also going to talk about audio as part of that update. Last but not least, Hello World has their last episode today before they go on summer break. And we've been asked to be on the show and to talk about ASID update on Hello World. So that should be interesting as well. Yeah. Sorry, I'll be in testing and production during that time. So you're going to be flying solo on that one. On Hello World, yes. Well, it's myself and whoever's hosting the Friday episode, which would be cool. So it'd be different. Yeah, it was on last Friday. It was actually pretty fun. Oh yeah, I've been having fun. The Hello World piece, I love the fact that the stories are so different. And it's a side of technology as opposed to focus on technology, which is really cool. Yeah, and it's our opportunity when we participate to bring a different perspective to that show. The perspective of the IT and OBS audience to a show that is typically more geared toward developers. So that's kind of, it brings a nice balance to it. Let's talk about our Microsoft Learn module of the week. So the tie into our beginning banter in regards to Sonya's post, if a VM is not running in your Azure tenant, is are you being charged? Here's a great hands-on module that you can go through specifically to VM. So understanding Windows Server IaaS virtual machine cost management. If you're looking to understand the management breaks that you would get, the cost breaks that you would get in terms of the different facets of running the VM inside of Azure and the different ways to shut it down through PowerShell CLI or through the OS itself. Here's a great way to upscale. I know you love that word. Upscale on the aspects of what you can do to manage your VM costs and your IaaS implementation on Azure. Yes, I do not like that term, but anyway. Yeah, it's a great way. It's an everybody who's starting or even people who've been using it for a while. It's a great refreshing or refresher on all of the things that you need to look at when you're looking at your cost management of VMs in Azure. Typically you end up with people deploying stuff in Azure and they don't completely understand it. And then at the end of the month, they get the bill and they go, oh, wait a minute, I wasn't really, there was no load on it at night. Well, they were still running. Producer Pierre, if they want to get a hold of you, what's the best way to get a hold of you? I have been and always shall be at Wired Canuck. And if you want to get a hold of me for some reason, you can get a hold of me on Twitter at Wired Us Live. Everybody have a great weekend and we'll see you all next week. Cheers.


Hello everyone, welcome back to a new session on dentistry and more. Today's topic is dentinogenesis imperfecta As we have seen amylogenesis imperfecta just like the same way it was interpreted We need to interpret dentinogenesis imperfecta the imperfect formation of dentin or the problem with Ordinal blast. So, let's see the details of dentinogenesis imperfecta Dentinogenesis is a formation of dentin which starts even before amylogenesis So the first tooth element is forming is dentin only after that enamel forms So dentinogenesis is the first process happening while tooth formation and it was Ordinal blast which creates dentin so basically two phases of dentinogenesis is there the first one is Organic collagen matrix formation later there will be deposition of hydroxy appetite crystals So the collagen matrix will be laid out first after that there will be Nenalyzation or hydroxy appetite crystals will be deposited. So it is an autosomal dominant condition That is dentinogenesis imperfecta and it affects both deciduous and permanent teeth So now we'll move on to the classification So the most common classification is shields classification. Then we have a revised classification and with cop classification So the shields classification is most commonly accepted and commonly used one He classified dentinogenesis imperfecta into three types type one two and three Type one is dentinogenesis imperfecta with osteogenesis imperfecta Type two is Dentinogenesis imperfecta without osteogenesis imperfecta. I just made it as oh I And type three is a Brandy wine type which is a rare form with multiple pulp exposure and periapical lesions in deciduous teeth and Why it got this brandy wine name? It is because Brandy wine is a place in Maryland, USA So that place has reported these type of Dentinogenesis imperfecta for the first time and there were many cases reported in that area So that particular dentinogenesis imperfecta with multiple Pulp exposure and periapical lesions in deciduous teeth named after the particular place So brandy wine is a place in Maryland, USA. That is a type three classification in shield in revised classification dentinogenesis imperfecta one is type two of shield classification and In revised classification dentinogenesis imperfecta two is type three shield classification And in revised classification, there is no substitute for type one shield classification. So don't get confused So we have only two types in revised classification. That is dentinogenesis imperfecta one and two which corresponds with Shields classification type two and type three Now, let's see. What is dentinogenesis imperfecta one? Which is Shield type two or a palestin dendin are also known as cap tipon teeth In etiology, it is a mutation which causing this dentinogenesis imperfecta one That is dspp gene the gene which is for dentin silo force for protein So the mutation in that gene causing dentinogenesis imperfecta one dentinogenesis imperfecta one is type two shield classification it is without osteogenesis imperfecta So it can be distinct from osteogenesis imperfecta with palestin teeth and affects only the teeth not bones So there will be no increased bone fracture So when you get this type one never get confused with shield type one, this is actually shield type two This is a revised classification And incidences one needs to 6000 or 8000 While moving on to the type two that is dentinogenesis imperfecta two Which is shield type three or brandy wine type So it is the mutation is not same as type two that is dspp it is different from This dentinogen imperfecta one But the difference is there will be enlarged pulp chamber and pulp exposure which is not present in This type one of dentinogenesis imperfecta in clinical features The gender prediction is almost same males and females are equally affected There will be blue gray or amber brown and opalescent tooth Few days after eruption teeth may achieve a normal color following which they become translucent And finally become gray or brown with bluish reflection from enamel The enamel may easily split readily from dentin when subjected to occlusion stress So the first part is saying about the color change. Normally it is when it erupts it is having normal color later. It's Getting changed to the blueish or palescent one and the second part about the Occlusion stress and it easily chips off that enamel And there will be severe attrition and obliterated pulp chamber Teeth are not very sensitive and dentin is basically soft and easily penetrable but Cary's incidences is very less because of the structural change in dentin even though it has Very soft dentin and it is easily penetrable. Cary's is not very much present in dentinogenesis imperfecta two So that is shield type two and shield type three In radiographic features There will be bulb shaped or bell shaped crown with constriction at the cervical areas. So the cervical areas will be constricted So it will be a bulb shaped or a bell shaped So, you know how a bulb or bell looks like at the top or end Or the bottom end if it is keeping in upright or In the opposite direction The tip will be constricted. So like why is the cervical areas will be constricted? And there will be thin and spiked roots Obliteration of coronal and radical pulp chamber is a unique feature of dentinogenesis imperfecta But the cementum alveolar bone and periodontal ligament are perfectly normal So the type two that is shield type three Brandy wine type which has large pulp chamber with Very thin enamel and dentin will give a peculiar appearance which is known as shell teeth So it is Shield type three and revised classification type two So that is shell teeth which is commonly asked question shell teeth Which is a radiographic feature with large pulp chamber with thin shell of dentin and enamel In histopathology, the enamel is normal The mantle dentin that is a narrow zone of dentin below enamel also normal The remaining dentin will be severely dysplastic with vast area of amorphous matrix with globular or inter globular foci of mineralization And there will be reduced number of dentinal tubules And the tubules are distorted irregular in shape widely spaced and larger in size And there will be absence of odendoblastic processes And degenerating cellular debris and there will be large areas of tubular dentin DJ will be smooth and flatten instead of scalloped nature So which is actually responsible for early chipping of enamel if it is scalloped there will be a Interlocking between enamel and dentin since it is very smooth or flattened the enamel will be easily chipped off and in chemical or Physical features there will be increased water content around 60 percentage more water content than normal And there will be decreased mineral content and micro hardness is near to cementum So while moving on to the treatment part The main goal is to prevent the loss of enamel and dentin through attrition So in mild to moderate cases we can go for veneering bleaching restorative procedures like composites and amalgam amalgam in posterior and composites in anterior teeth In severe case cases it mostly we should do processes that is crown placement and always we should keep a Importance in maintaining the vertical dimension because the vertical dimension will be lost because of the attrition So that's all about dentinogenesis imperfecta the takeaway points are retina type So this is type one and this is type two that is revised classification and shell teeth is a radiographic appearance of type two that is Mostly you get confused between these two. This is shield classification and revised classification So this is what we follow revised classification, but we corresponded with our shield classification So this type one is type two of shield and this type two is type three of shield So that's all about dentinogenesis imperfecta. It is a developmental anomaly involving the dentin or the amul that odendoblast So we had seen amulogenesis imperfecta, which is amuloblast and enamel formation Related problem and dentinogenesis is something related to odendoblast and dentin formation So I'll come up with a new topic in dentistry and more. Thank you


when you stop caring the narcissist does this so in the beginning you try everything in your power to make the narcissist happy you do everything you can for them you may have done more for the narcissist than you did for anyone in your life but for whatever reason it's just not good enough for the narcissist they're not satisfied and you may think that it's something to do with you you may think that maybe you could be better maybe you could do more but actually the narcissist just has these insatiable desires they can never be fulfilled they can never be happy with anything even if there was a perfect person walking the earth eventually the narcissist would tell them to pieces and many of you who watch my videos you are attractive and successful people you weren't good enough for the narcissist you may have been good enough for everyone and everything else in your life but when it comes to the narcissist you could never measure up you could never be good enough and many of you are doctors lawyers business owners you're very successful in your field you're very good at what you do but it seems that you're no good when it comes to the narcissist how can that be how is it possible the only possibility is that actually it's not you and it is the narcissist and while other people in your life may seem happy with what you're doing the narcissist just has these insatiable desires they can put you on their hamster wheel and you will be trying to run faster and faster to make them happy but I can tell you right now it's never going to happen no one has ever made a narcissist happy and no one ever will because even when you think you've achieved whatever result they want the next day the goalposts move and then they're expected a different result a different objective so there is really nothing that you can do and many of you who are watching this right now you may have gotten to the point where you're fed up you've given up trying you just don't want to do anything anymore you're unmotivated you may be in a state where you don't even want to get out of bed anymore you don't want to go to work you just don't want to do anything because you already know anything that you do is going to be criticized it's going to be brought down it's going to be misinterpreted it's going to be seen as not good enough so you just want to stop everything you just want to lay in bed all day but you know even if you do that they're going to find something wrong with it they're going to call you lazy they're going to call you selfish even if you don't do anything so it's one of those damned if you do damned if you don't whatever you do it's bad it's wrong it's not good enough it needs to be something else and when you do finally get fed up when you finally give up that is when they go into point the finger at you they're going to play the victim and say you've done something wrong you did something to them they're going to shift the blame on to you and say that you were bound to done without help or support you were supposed to be doing this for them you were supposed to be doing that you should have done this better they're still going to continue to criticize you whether you do everything or not there is no way out of it but the narcissist there is no winning there's no anything good there's nothing positive even if you end up in a state where you're hospitalized we are suffering from serious physical or mental health conditions I do if they caused it they're still going to see it as though there's something wrong with you they're still going to blame you I can tell you you can run yourself into the ground you can work yourself to the bone but you are never going to make any narcissist happy for a consistent amount of time and you're never going to get what you want you're never going to get the validation you're never going to get to feel like you're a good person who is doing the right thing you're never going to get that with the narcissist it's just not going to happen give it to yourself instead of expecting praise and compliments from the narcissist give that to yourself because trust me you deserve it all of you on here who are watching this right now you are all amazing people I don't care what the narcissist says I don't care what they're criticizing anything a narcissist says has no value how is it benefited you in any way by listening to them so please recognize your worth today recognize all the hard work you put in to become who you are and congratulate yourself don't wait for anyone else to do it because most people are just worrying about their own lives give that to yourself if you've made it this far you got involved with a narcissist and you found your way to my videos that is a big step you have come a long way already so congratulate yourself for that we are all on the path to healing to recovery from everything we went through and sometimes we need to stop and look back at everything we've accomplished everything we've achieved everything that makes us who we are today sometimes we need to stop and do that because happiness does not come from anything in the present it does not come from anything in the future it comes from you recognizing who you are the work you put in everything you've achieved that's what happiness is about and also let it come from within because that's most important don't let it come from any person or external thing if you keep depending on other people or things for your happiness you're never going to be happy because most people in this world today are not happy with their lives so they cannot give that happiness to you because they don't have it you can't give something you don't already have so get your happiness from within and share it with other people that's the message for today when you give up the narcissist is not going to stop they're going to keep making unrealistic demands they're going to keep holding you to high expectations expectations that they can't even meet themselves and yet they expect you to do it which should already reveal to you how secretly highly they view you because you've got to be at some level for someone to even expect that from you so when they hold you to high expectations and they expect you to do that and do this they're doing that because they know you're already capable so as I've said in my past videos let your haters be your motivators they're basically telling you how great you are what you can achieve the sky is the limit for anyone all you have to do is believe in yourself you can achieve whatever you want don't let anyone tell you you can't but the narcissist will get mad they will get angry when you finally give up when you finally get fed up of them they will say horrible things about you to other people they will start a smear campaign against you they won't try and make your life even worse than it may already be that's how you know they have no empathy because you may have all of these things going on in your life all of this stuff you have to worry about and then there's the narcissist always yapping about something trying to bring you down that's just one thing you have to accept narcissist don't give a shit about you they don't care all they care about is what they want and you're just a means to get it other than that there's nothing that's all there is that's the truth but you can move on you can be better you can be happier without them I know you can if you're reading this right now let this motivate you let this inspire you to move on and live a better life without these people constantly bringing you down we're trying to move up in life we don't want to go down remember that so together let's lift each other up to the heights where we want to be there's two types of people in this world there's people who build and then there's people who destroy a narcissist are definitely people who destroy you go around a narcissist they go in to destroy you they are not going to build you up and that's all it is to it some people build some people will build you up and make you feel good about yourself other people will bring you down they will destroy you recognize the difference this is the real truth here but that's all I've got to say for this if you have any questions about this topic or anything else please write it below right now and I will read it and give you my response so please write in the chat right now so I can read it just out here by a lake it's very beautiful very sunny today not me 704 TV asks do flying monkeys know what they're doing yes and no someone asks is sorry some flying monkeys may know exactly what they're doing they may be fully aware of it they may be fully aware of the effects it's having on you but they just don't care well others may not be completely aware they may not know exactly what they're doing maybe they think they're doing the right thing by siding with a narcissist by trying to help them some flying monkeys maybe narcissistic themselves central live wire asks about no contact after you move on it's not that simple with a narcissist a normal breakup might be over after a few days or up to two weeks but with a narcissist it can go on for years they can be there for the rest of your life they don't know how to let things go once you cause that injury they never stop so yes they may still come after you they may still can harass you they may try to tear you down ruin you financially ruin your reputation they may try to interfere with your other relationships in the future they may try to isolate you not all narcissists though some of them will just leave you alone especially if they have other things that are more significant in their lives because when it comes down to it all depends on what is significant to you different things are significant to different people and what's significant to a person tells you everything you need to know about them if you've moved on and you've got no contact and the narcissist is still treating you as something significant that's when you know there is something wrong with them because if you're not involved with them if you're not in contact with them if you have nothing to do with them whatsoever and they're still blowing you up they're still mentioning your name to other people that's when you know they have an obsession that's when you know they mentally ill because no normal person is going to do that no normal person is going to talk that way about someone who isn't even in their lives anymore but narcissists will do that and that should be a clear sign that should tell you everything you need to know Ocean 21 asks how can someone stop missing and thinking about the narcissist I understand that if the narcissist discarded you you may be holding on to that fantasy you may be wishing it could go back to the love bombing but you need to recognize that was a false character that wasn't even real that was put together to manipulate you to lure you into the relationship they weren't really about any of that it was just a false image but if you want to stop missing them and stop thinking about them start focusing on yourself focus on your own life spend time with healthy family members and friends focus on your passions focus on the things that you are passionate about things that mean something to you spend time in nature spend time with animals go back to your old hobbies and interests or start new ones passions are very powerful and very healing so yeah that's what I recommend to help you stop missing and thinking about the narcissist anyway that's all for this live video just want to show the lake one more time before I go come out here because it's very peaceful and it makes me want to do a live video makes me want to give something back to our community which means a lot to me thank you all for joining me on another knock survivor live video and I will talk to you in another one another one very soon you will have a great day


The early detection of respiratory pathogens and associated outbreaks is essential for effective containment and prevention of further spread. However, current syndromic diagnostic approaches are insufficiently sensitive and specific to detect all respiratory pathogens, leading to missed opportunities to identify and treat infected individuals. To address this issue, it is necessary to develop more reliable and accurate diagnostic tools that can quickly distinguish between different types of respiratory pathogens.

Uh, as you may have read in the newspaper trying to bring a COVID relief package to fruition before the end of this year Um, there's been another uh, a number of other things that they've had to work on was the continuing Where one was a continuing resolution to continue funding the government um And there's some big pieces of legislation that are moving through right now One of them is the national defense authorization act and there was several things in there that were important to uh To wisconsin Specifically for northeast wisconsin. There is 11.6 million dollars for a new national guard readiness center in akelson And uh, there's funding for a new guided missile frigate that will be built by dincantieri marinet marine And uh, there's also funding for two virginia class submarines, which won't be built in wisconsin But we have over 40 companies in wisconsin who provide parts for those submarines The other thing that's spending this week that will be of interest to all of you Once it's passed is water the water resource defenses Act I can't remember. I use the acronym so often. I can't remember what the d stands for Um, so we'll keep you posted on that finally, um She's very hopeful that this bipartisan package of covid relief the 908 billion dollar package Uh, we'll gain some traction and and get passed this week one of the issues that's a paramount paramount importance to her is um That the package includes funding for state and local government. I think we've all seen throughout this covid crisis just how critical that state and local government infrastructure is and uh, we know that in the upcoming years that we're going to need to To help continue to support those those critical functions like law enforcement and fire and public health so she is supportive of that 900 million dollar bipartisan package a couple other pieces of legislation Um restaurants act Which would create a restaurant revitalization fund as a community that relies a great deal on hospitality We know that that particular sector is suffering and we want to make sure that we do whatever we can to kind of bring them back So we don't lose that critical hospitality infrastructure. We have in our communities A couple of other things the paycheck protection act She's introduced legislation to extend that through march 2021 And allow for a second round loans for small businesses and in this round They would also extend ppp to all nonprofit organizations And that's something that we heard a lot about from uh communities and they think we don't know Uh, just how much nonprofits contribute to our communities and we want to make sure that we support them Uh To the extent that we can There's another bill that of interest and that's the partners act which would establish a grant program to support creation of an expansion of industry and sector partnerships to help small and medium-sized businesses Develop on the job learning programs and provide mentoring and support services for workers This is something that we've heard quite a bit about from uh, I know in northeast wisconsin And that the difficulty that smaller and medium-sized businesses have and accessing Training and other resources in order to keep their workforce current to recruit recruit and retrain And you know that the larger companies primarily do their own training So we need to make sure that we have those resources for our small businesses as well So that is just a brief snapshot. I'm happy to answer any questions Or if there's any other piece of legislation that you are interested in You can let me know and i'll be happy to follow up With you, uh, mr. Mayor via email and you can share that information with the other members on this call Thank you No, thank you very much jennifer Um, appreciate your report next. We'll move on to ellenott from congressman Glenn growthman's office ellen Good morning First thing i'll mention is uh this month at the end of november congressman growthman introduced the air america act This is a An idea that came directly from the district. I was out in an event and heard Um, neil hansen from oshkosh, uh, who wrote a book about his experiences flying for air america in the vietnam war Um, and he requested to meet with clennett to discuss some issues and he met with congressman growthman and after that that meeting Uh congressman growthman started working on a on a bipartisan bill called the air america act which will Ensure that the brave americans who served in that cold war operation will receive federal retirement benefits that they've earned From 1950 to 1976 There were about 500 american citizens worked for air america because the Missions were covert. Um, they were not able to submit paperwork to prove that they that they were ever employees of the federal government so You know and despite having risked their lives and and you know fighting uh fighting for america and fighting communists in the same way The members of the air force did So because of this, uh, caroline mohroney, uh, the democrat chairman of the Um, uh oversight committee has is a co-sponsor of this bill We have uh co-sponsors of both parties in the u.s. Senate and there's a good chance of this going to uh To make it both way through to be to become law So it's kind of a neat example of a local constituent who brought a concern to his congressman and um looks like it's headed towards becoming law um as Jennifer mentioned the they're coming back into session this week to take up Kind of the twin issues of another Relief package for coronavirus And funding the government through september You know, there are a lot of a lot of issues floating around there and a lot of high-level negotiations And we we're not being given a lot of detail on what's being worked out I know the congressman is concerned about some of the you know sending out checks idea again It's important to note that between the congress and the federal reserve. We've spent seven trillion dollars this year alone on the coronavirus You know the ppp and all the programs associated with that Um, I think in real dollars that's close to what we spend world war two And we've done that and and you know in in nine or ten months So um, there are some concerns there, but there are some things that need to be addressed including You know the the Time off provisions that were part of her cares the sort of the cares fmla expires on december 31st There's some funding or some of the idle loans Come up on the 21st of this month. So and of course there's been the discussion of liability protection for uh businesses schools governments That also could be addressed so we'll have to wait to see How that turns out so those are kind of the the big issues that That the congressman is working on right now Thank you very much for that report ellen appreciate it Next we'll move on to appointments and biannual budget and I think we've covered the appointments pretty well I I really want to commend our legislative Representatives for climbing through the ranks to these leadership positions Takes a lot of work to be recognized in in this way by your fellow legislators and We look forward to working with you again in these new positions But I would like to turn it over to senator lemahue to talk a little bit about the biannual budget and any Um, anything he can tell us about what he sees in the future there It's 2017 since he's Serving on the finance. I'm assuming he's serving on the finance committee this this coming session even though that's not out there yet um, but So where uh, we so we ended the first year of our budget with a surplus Of the 20 the 19 2019 to 20 21 budget Last summer we ended with a surplus despite the pandemic. Uh, so we made another Depositiveness of the rainy day fund, which is great that rainy day fund is now at about 760 million dollars Um, and we're looking to actually finish off this year potentially with a with a surplus again um I think part of that is because we were using prudent budgeting over this time We've had our sales tax revenue has has still been really strong especially through internet Internet sales that that have gone on in the state of wisconsin capturing that that internet sales tax And uh corporate sales tax has actually been still pretty strong going forward the the place where we're sort of emerging is is gas tax revenue and an income tax revenue that being said it's going to be still a A challenge going forward in this next budgeting process um, so we're going to uh I think I I appointed a pretty strong finance committee With a lot of experience two cpa's on there Someone else who's gone through the finance process left You know senator struggle on there who has a you know a year going through a budget So I think in the senate we have a strong finance committee Which is going to take out take a tough look at all areas of the budget to make sure we're We can meet the challenges That lie ahead, but it's it's You know at this point The governor will give his his present his budget in february We're not sure exactly by statute. It has to be done He has to do it by the end of january, but that hasn't been done in about 60 years, I believe We always give the governor an extension to to present his budgets. They'll probably be done mid february Then the legislative fiscal bureau takes that budget Breaks it down it takes them about two before weeks to do that and then the finance committee With terry and and others on the senate and assembly side. We'll start going through section by section and You know, we'll have Listening sessions. We don't know what that's going to look like yet. Typically we'll go around the state four or five locations and have listening sessions, but That may have to be done Some form of virtual fashion this year depending on where the pandemic sat when we get to march in april Probably april in that time But then hopefully by the end of the year or by the end of the fiscal year We'll have a present to budget to the the governor and hopefully like Two years ago the governor signs our budget. So that's that's the plan Sounds good. Thanks very much for that information. Representative kosma. Did you want to add anything? Yes, I will. Thank you, mr. Mayor So we've had As devin stated, there's four new members in the senate on the joint finance On the assembly on the republican side four out of six are new In on the assembly side Co-chair nigran has resigned to take a different position So the co-chair that has been appointed by speaker boss is representative mark born from beaver dam And so we're going to have two new members In the assembly republican side of the joint finance. So There's a big big changes really in the in the composition and in the makeup of joint finance so it'll it'll take some time then to Have the personalities work out and some of that the governor came out with agency budget requests This booklet about this thick A couple of highlights from there the largest increase that was requested was from the department of education About 1.4 billion dollars double digit increases and that was disappointing after the summer when the governor urged his agencies to Be flat with their with their increases and the other Major item that was in this budget request was dhs and in there The agency is proposing a Medicaid expansion to account for a large growth of revenues Certainly, there's resistance in the republican caucus to expand Medicaid But we look forward to the work on the budget as as devin stated revenues appear to be a little bit better than what we thought it's And as you all know in sheboyin county the unemployment rate According to w Her scedc was 3.7 percent in september. I haven't seen more recent numbers But if you're if you're outside of the tourism or the hospitality industry You're doing pretty good actually in despite In this in this economy that we have so We look forward to that work on the budget Thank you very much for those thoughts terry Next I like to go on and talk about levy limits levy limits and and possible Loosening of some of those have been on the agenda in the past It's a priority not only for the city of sheboyin but also the league of municipalities And I'd like to turn it over to administrator Todd wolf to talk a little bit about our local situation and some of the things we're looking for Todd Good morning everybody As a as a new member to this to the city and to this group. I just wanted to You know just say reach out and say good morning and for those of you that know me I'm gonna I'd like to change our topic a little bit Right now everybody talks a lot about about covid and rightly so, you know, it's it's affected us Not just at you know in the city level county level state level or you know Or throughout or the united states or globally But I'd like to point out the fact that the levy limits has been discussed And it's been on on a topic for for many many years and you know since 2011, you know, that's when the state imposed this It is the strictest That Limit in the in the nation So what I'd like to kind of touch on real quickly is You know, we talk about covid we talk about how it affects us but we from a levy limit and a levy to equalized balance This year was my first my first Approach to developing an actual budget and I I realized very quickly that These limits really need to be adjusted So when I read when I read about the the league talking about since 2011 I sit there and go This is kind of an old old standard and we really need as a state need to make some course corrections Any decision is a good decision at the time that it's made But if we're going to continue to have restrictions That are nine plus years old and not make adjustments I I don't think that that's good stewardship So when I look at things and I look at the responsible Responsibility that we have for good stewardship and maintaining and providing the services to our communities I think it's very important that we think about that tremendously, especially during tough times like covid so The cares act that that that helped out a lot it helped us out from transit It helped us out as a city to to maintain and take care of some of the additional costs that covid had put on the communities But if you reach out and you talk to people that are in the league of municipalities, not everybody Was able to use those fundings Because because of the way that it was structured Many municipalities are struggling when I when I sit on these meetings with the league And I'm sure that Curtis can can elaborate on that Sheboygan has been very lucky that we've had the net new construction for the last couple of years are From 2019 into carried into 2020 we had a 13 percent net new construction But the majority of the communities within the state of wisconsin have not had that luxury and with covid we're really going to see Somewhat of a slowdown. I don't want to say a stop But definitely a slowdown Part of the problem that we have as a community is that the fact that that 13 percent was tid related So tids are great and I and I'm very happy that we have them, but we also have to understand that a tid is basically paying forward for development in the in the future, but Basically those costs that we continue to Have You know year over year whether it's increases in construction increases in services increases in Wages and benefits those are things that most communities don't have the ability to have the increase that's needed to sustain it So again going back to the meetings that I've been in More and more communities are struggling more and more So what's going to happen is if if if we don't start addressing our levy limits We are going to continue to see reductions in In service which is what we're responsible for and I personally think that during a covid situation like we're in Which is going to carry into 2022 respectfully We can't continue to lose services when our when our constituents need it the most so In closing I really would like to see our representatives really look into it because many small and rural communities are Experiencing zero to or Little net new construction and shabuigan county has been very very fortunate But again, we we struggle we're going to be struggling in 2022 I'm already anticipating that we're going to either be flat or we will have to actually cut services Thank you Thank you Todd legislators any response or suggestions or questions Well, I was kind of surprised when I when I saw my tax bill a couple of days ago my tax bill went up 6.1 percent and That was a combination of a reduction in the first dollar credit a reduction in the lottery and gaming credit and a result of a school referendum in the school district of which I reside but 6 percent increase in in my net taxes is Pretty substantial and I I got to believe that that increase is more than what a lot of Wage increases are that that taxpayers are receiving. So I'm trying to balance that with with Your comments on relief of tax levies. So That's what I'm looking at Terry one one thing I would like to point out in about and putting our budget together for 2021 and balancing between the equalized and levy limits that we have technically the city of shabuigan should have had an increase of around 26 cents per thousand because of our our levy But because of the fact that again because of covet we kept it at the 15 cents again because We've had net new construction, but with the equalized balance to levy We were limited to what we could really do and to go to this to constituents and say we want 26 cents that would have been catastrophic in my opinion to ask for that but that means that we left levy on the table Which is again growth For the city. So again, it's We're trying to balance what we can and we've had some tremendous growth But again again our costs continue to go up and we're we're I I'm speaking for shabuigan and I'm speaking for the group that on the legal municipalities and again I ask that Curtis can always jump in and and and defend the statement that I'm going to make but For a for a levy limit that dates back to 2011. I'm sure that the first couple of years there was still enough Fluctuation in the budgets to be able to to control it, but I don't believe that there's enough, you know As the old statement, you know, you can cut fat at some point you're cutting muscle And I think that there's a lot of municipalities that are now cutting into the bone. So Thank you Kurt did you want to add anything to that? You have to unmute Yes. Yes. Thank you. Thanks for the opportunity to Participate in this meeting mayor and let me just say congratulations to senator. Let me hear very Very proud and happy for you and your accomplishment And uh rips of posma. I'm glad to hear your likelihood to be reappointed to finance My finance committee. So yeah, Mike and I just want to underscore some of what Todd was saying that um I think one thing to keep in mind as legislators kind of struggle with this Levy limit topic it has been in place actually since 2006 and then in 2011 it turned into this very restrictive one Where you can only increase your levy? I mean it's like going increases levy from one year to the next by the amount of new construction is it's experiencing And there's a lot of communities that aren't as lucky as shabuagan many many many communities aren't as lucky as shabuagan to have growth And so they've been stagnant as far as For many years in their ability to increase their levy from one year to the next while all you know typical inflationary growth and expenses Continue from year in and year out and and these communities aren't able to keep up or match that So, you know two things in our legislative agenda that I think could address that one would be to Restore what was in place in the first five or so years of levy limits where there was basically inflationary increase allowed At least a minimum if your community was not experiencing any growth new construction uh, you'd be able to increase your levy by the amount of uh inflation that the that the state is experiencing um, the other change would be some um Remove a enhancement of levy limits. Uh, that was created about 2011 or 2013 or so that makes it um Impossible really for a community to turn to fees to pay for certain services without having an impact on their levy and reducing their Their levy even more So for example, I know shabuagan already has a storm water utility Many communities do not have a storm water utility. So they're still trying to pay for the Mandate that they treat storm water Before it goes into our rivers and our lakes off of the levy so um, it would be helpful for those communities to Meet that mandate by creating a storm water utility. But if you do so Any community that doesn't have a storm water utility current if they create one they would have to reduce their allowable levy Getting rid of that Further restriction would be very helpful too. So those are two ideas We'll be we'll be by to talk more about these as the as the joint finance committee, you know works through the budget process and and representative katsuma voted for something very Very helpful to me to specialize along those lines. So last Last the budget. I appreciate that And what could you have those discussions? So thank you for the opportunity to I have a conversation with you this morning about that Curt and one other thing we should add is you're right. Sheboygan does have a storm water utility But about a decade ago council, uh, put the rate at zero So it really is uh has been ineffective for the last decade for us And if we would institute it now we'd have to reduce our Something else in order to compensate for it because of the way levy limits are structured I'd like to move on to proposed changes in the utility aid program um Back in late 2019 Sheboygan was informed that uh, because lion energy had closed unit three and four That we were going to lose About half of our utility aid payments of 1.2 million dollars Earlier that year the state had given us information that we would be receiving all of that money And that the late adjustment was uh, it was very tough for us And uh, we we basically had to just go into our general fund and and and move money over because we didn't have any other way to deal with that much revenue loss And I'd broach both Senator lemmy hue and representative katsuma. Is there anything we can do because normally when a facility closes a plant closes You get a five-year phase out of those funds And because this was two units within a plant that was still going to stay open It was just a drop in the bucket boom It's it's there and you have to absorb it all right away And I know the gentlemen have done some uh, some looking into that So i'm just wondering when we talked about it We were very late in the legislative session and we weren't able to Any see seeing a new legislation to modify those laws? Introduced but uh, is there something we can still do where sheboygan could qualify for Part of those phase out dollars. So i'll turn it over to senator lemmy hue or representative katsuma. I'll go first the we've had a briefing from the utilities on on some of their plans as far as phase outs of Plants similar to what happened in edge water So we feel that this is going to be something that it needs to address needs to be addressed on a statewide issue so But to my knowledge there is nothing specific that has been proposed at this Up to this point. We've been looking into this for a while obviously with you mr. mayor and sort of the most frustrated thing that we found in the process outside of trying to get information from um The different agencies and how and why they were doing it this way is There's even some decommissioned plants that are still getting their full utility aid payments that are totally decommissioned and they're waiting until Either that property is sold or restored to start that step down process. So just the way they're administering the program From plant to plant around the state It has been very frustrating. Um, so yes, we've been working with Different agencies in government ledge council the reference bureau things like that trying to figure out why The agencies are are interpreting the law the way they are which seems like They're using the most prescriptive Interpretation of the law in your case and in other cases where a plant is totally being decommissioned Which by the way edge water is working towards total decommissioning. So it's it's sort of frustrating that they're treating it this way Whereas other plants which just went from you know, 100 production down to nothing Is being treated differently I think that one of the things that triggers this change is when the utility submits a report to the state In the case of aliant energy unit three was closed down About two years prior to this notice being given But when they closed down unit four, I don't know if they just noticed it or whatever But we got utility aid payments for unit three for two years longer than we we maybe should have And so a lot of it may depend on what that utility does then they're reporting to the state on this but I guess uh My question is do you see some path? For some legislation that will at least address this issue For the city of shabuagan Just for one case We need to still work with the different agencies to Try to figure out why they're See if they can find a good interpretation of how this this can be done So they're treating everybody fairly but I mean it would be The fix wouldn't be just for Your instance it would be statewide for all utilities well, I think you know something that Would propose that any facility that shuts down a unit and they still have a plant that's operating That that unit because much of the utility aid payments are calculated on the amount of kilowatts that are produced So if those kilowatts are adjusted Then they should still qualify for that phase out that would affect everybody in the state And with many of the utilities looking at changing To solar and wind You know this is going to happen more So I think it's very important that you consider that the one thing we are asking that would affect us as maybe As well as I think green bay That that the the utilities where they've done this already that at least qualify for the The trailing phase out rates. So we may have missed The first or two years, but we still qualify for the final three years of that normal phase out You think that's a possibility? We'll take a look at it, but I certainly I can't commit what's going to happen I understand. Well, thank you for that commitment to look at it and we'll talk to you more about that later then Next I'd like to move on to Public and private property damage due to lake michigan water levels um And just talk a little bit about uh, does the state have any programs that a local municipality like sheboygan could Apply to we have a sewer line on the south side of sheboygan. That's right along the bank of the lake and We have to reinforce that and so that those lines still work on the north side by our water treatment plant We're planning a raw water intake project and the land where we want to build the The new well for this project is beginning to be attacked by the lake again And we have to do more work to reinforce it and when we've got some other small projects, you know Along some of our trails and things along the lake Is there any help that you feel the state can provide for some of these infrastructure? improvements that are needed to maintain Our borders with lake michigan if there's not a state of emergency most Most funds FEMA and things like that You know if you have a proposal If there's a quantified amount, you know, we can talk to the governor and His office and see what's available, but just generally saying The water's rising And it's doing some damage here and there I mean that's not quantifiable Okay, well we'll work on getting that together for you Is is there anything that that our federal partners are looking at certainly the lake michigan is Is high not just in shabuigan county but what can government do to to Adjust the lake level well nothing, but what what can we do? Is there any anything that's being done on the federal level? Well, one of the things we are doing is FEMA has a new brick program building infrastructure in resiliency And that program Has to be submitted to the our projects have to be submitted to the state which we've done and met the applications Or we're working with the state right now and seeing our projects submitted to the federal government Now this is a competitive program and they only have 500 million dollars to distribute around the united states So we're at least Trying to see if we can get some help through that fema program that's available to us And time will tell whether or not we're successful with that If we aren't then then we have to look to other avenues to cover some of those costs And by the way, you know the work that Yes I was just going to say if If you want to let us know of when your application you're going to submit your application We'd be happy to do a letter of support for you on that grant application. All right. Thank you very much, Alan. Appreciate that I just have a real quick statement um It's data it sounds it sounds like the state of michigan actually declared A state of emergency because of the high levels Just wondering why this state of wisconsin hasn't had the the same the same effect It is affecting everybody. I know it obviously in sheboyton county. We've had a lot of erosion a lot of constituents Losing a lot of property not to not to mention just the the effect on our on the location of our Our piping that that the mayor had mentioned which is right along the the lake shore also Thank you. It would be a great question for the governor's office since the governor issues states of emergency Thank you very much The next item on the agenda is tids sharing with other tids There's been some legislation recently to allow more of this So if you do have a successful tid rather than having to close one out that isn't Producing and and observe that We're looking to see if the state legislature could adjust the laws to allow some of those successful tids to have More opportunities to share with the ones that maybe aren't doing so well Chad, did you want to add anything on that? Is brian from the scedc on the phone? No, I don't see him Well, I understand this is chad pelishek the director of city development. I understand that there was an assembly 2019 assembly bill 859 Um that was supposed to be going to the senate and didn't I don't think it made it but there was two pieces of multi-use tiff residential increase Um for the percentage of land that can be in a tiff district as it relates to resident Uh residential and then there was a tiff housing extension. So under current law There's a one-year extension that can be granted for tids and there was a request to increase that to three years for affordable and workforce housing So i'm just wondering If anybody can shed any light on that bill and whether it's going to come back or where it is Chad was this bill passed in the assembly? Did you say? I believe it was a lot of bills that we passed And I'm assuming then the senate was unable to uh to take a look at some of those I'm assuming if they were a good bill and they passed our house. We would be looking at it again Yet carry that ab 859 one that's uh a rob brooks bill that looks like it was passed on one of our last session days and in february So it's probably one of those I Not speaking for the senate, but one of those that Uh may just have gotten caught up in covid Well representative or pogle thanks for joining us And congratulations on your election to head the majority caucus Thanks, sorry. It was a few minutes late, but uh again always is always looking forward to working with all of you Kurt did you have any input on that particular issue? Yes mayor um and ribs are more pogle is exactly right We were supportive the realtors were supportive the builders were supportive of package that came out of Representative brooks's office that the assembly did pass right at the end and one of the things it did was extend this ability to use Uh tiff dollars for affordable housing workforce housing from one year, which is current law after tiff closes the three years Uh, but I had a number of other provisions in it too that we liked a lot Um, and this leads me to a question that I just wanted to ask the senator. Let me you Um, if your caucus has had any discussion about Kind of prioritizing some of that those bills those 90 or 100 bills that the assembly passed But at the end that were may have had a lot of support within your caucus But because of covid, uh, you weren't able to meet that last morning I was just wondering if there's been any discussion about maybe prioritizing those earlier early in the session I know they ought to be reintroduced and we'll be working on that But so there's been any discussion about that within your caucus Yeah, sir. Thanks for the question. So we've been uh, We've been working through those bills sort of in my office just in case This conference will now be recorded Just just in case we did come back Um into session here in in december some of those bills that we could possibly take up that didn't have any Dollars attached to them at this point. Um, so we we started the process of going through that list. I think Hopefully there are a lot of good bills in there I couple myself that that didn't get through the senate that I'd like to see done uh next session so um, so yeah, I think Hopefully moving into the next session there are like like you mentioned there I don't know if there were 90 that had no no funding attached to them But there were a good amount of bills that had bipartisan support that We were still planning to take up in the senate prior to covid hitting and hopefully we can get those done early early this upcoming session Great. Thank you Okay Time to May I ask a question? Sure. Go ahead Yeah, thank you in preparation for this meeting. I I watched the presentation that Development director chad did to the city council in june or july with a nice overview of the 11 tids that city shabuagan has and um I was pleasantly surprised at the Pleasure I was happy to see the positive balances in in many of those projects and the uh, I think the You're well under the 12 limit at 190 million compared to your total valuation was 350 million And um, but I I was looking at all you know the the areas of the of the tids And do you know like a rough number of the? Square miles or or how much what percentage of the city? Is currently covered in a tid district? round numbers That's a really good question. I don't know that I can answer that I would have to do a little bit more Uh, searching but just high level. I would say about a third All right. Well, thanks for your discussion on these issues on the agenda Now we'll go into a round table and I'm just going to call off Members who are here and see if they have anything they'd like to add all their person barb feldi Okay, um, I have nothing to add Thank you very much.
