In this video, on our series on JMRI's panel pro, we're going to be going through how we add our mast to our layout and to our test section of track. And in particular, how we attach the mast to this turn out LT89. In our previous video, I went through how we add switch addresses to signal heads and how with our signal heads, we would create our signal masts. And we went ahead and we created a single head dwarf signal. Because of my layout, I use speed based routing or speed based signalling. I'm going to be putting a triple head mast associated with LT89 onto our test section of track. The triple head mast allows us to have some of the lower speeds associated with the speed based signalling system that I use that is defined in JMRI. So to do this, what we do is we click on the turn out here, which is a right click, which brings up our drop down menu. Then we scroll down to set signal masts. And what that will do is it brings up our set signal masts at turn out window. Which as you can see, it is the turn out name LT89 which is associated with our right hand turn out on our panel. You'll see that we have three block boundary windows in our set signal masts at turn out window. The first one refers to the block boundary of LS2 to LS3. So when working in our set signal masts window, we're reading from left to right. So LS2 to LS3. Then when we go back onto our panel, we're talking about this block here, which is LS2 to LS3. LS3 is associated with LT89 and all my turnouts are my layout are their own individual blocks. So what we're talking about with the set signal masts window here and this first block boundary, or boundary of LS2 to LS3 is this green anchor point here to the left of the right hand turn out and this is the block boundary that we'll be setting the triple head mast too. The other two block boundaries within our window are the boundary of LS4 to LS3. So again, reading from left to right, LS4 to LS3. When we go back to our test section of track and onto our panel, we're going from LS4 to LS3. So actually going from the right to the left or if we're talking about on the layout, we'll be talking about heading in a west band direction. The next set signal mast window and the block boundary that we're talking about is the block boundary of LS5 to LS3. So reading from left to right, but then we're reverting back to the panel and back to our layout, we're going from the right back to the left. So we're going from our passing side of LS5 back into our right hand diverging route of LS3, our right hand turn out. And moving along, we're going to place our triple head mast onto our layout panel. So we're working off the boundary of LS2 to LS3. So we go to our signal mast dropdown box and we scroll down to we find our new created triple head mast, which is this one on the bottom. We click on that and then what we need to do is we need to place the mast onto the panel and we want the mast to be on the right hand side of the track or the engineer side of the locomotive. So once we've clicked on right hand side, this will define what side of the track we want the mast on. We click done and you'll see what it's actually done is it's placed the triple head mast onto the track itself. And it's located within block two and it's right on the boundary of LS2 to LS3, which is where we want the track. So if we do a right click on the signal itself and we scroll down to change aspect, you can actually then go and scroll through and see all the available aspects that are now in that triple head mast. So what we can do is we can scroll all the way up to the top. So our least permissive signal and click on clear and you'll see that it changes to a solid green aspect on the top head and in our middle and lower heads are all dropped down to red. What we'll do in another video later on is we'll then set up the signal logic once we've placed our remaining signals on our test section of track.


Hey guys it is Saturday and Jay and I are camping. I should say I'm camping because Jay's actually gone to work today. Oh excuse me. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna probably insert this in the beginning of my vlog because I never did an intro. So I will tell you that I had a wonderful week because we had Justin and Tamara come visit us and they stayed for from Friday to Monday morning sometime and then Jay brought them down to Winthrop, Massachusetts and then on Tuesday Jay met up with them Tuesday night to do a Red Sox game and they had a blast. I covered for Jay so I worked and I'm not a huge like sports fanatic so that was okay and so he went down and he had the Red Sox game. It was the first time, I don't I'm gonna see if I can insert a picture here but it was the first time that Jay and Justin have done a Red Sox game and I want to say oh my gosh you know maybe about 25 years or something or 20 years. It's been a long time since the two of them were together in Fenway watching a Red Sox game. Is it Fenway? Hmm. So anyways that just shows you how much of a Red Sox fan I'm not. I mean I'm a Red Sox fan but I just don't know the game just like I'm a major Patriots fan but I really don't know the game. So anyways they laughed Jay did the game and then it was just one of those wacky weeks at work and I did an open house so I'm going to show you the start of my blog is going to show you some of the clips on the Broker open house. We have this wonderful subdivision in New Hampshire and it's really cool subdivision. I didn't show a whole lot of it but I did show the the Broker open house you know pots at the house that we went into so that was really cool and then Friday Jay left early in the morning brought the motor home to the beach and then we just had a blast Friday night so I'm gonna show you all that but before I pick up on doing that I'm just gonna tell you this was sent to me from Skindeva. Is it Skindeva or Skindeva? I really don't know. This is the hydrating anti-aging infusion spray and this is with AgriLine and cucumber extract. Yesterday we walked all around the beach we did the boardwalk we did a bunch of different things and I am telling you since I've had this all week I've kept this actually nearby because I've sprayed this a number of times it has a cucumber smell it is so soothing the spray does come out strong so you have to hold it away from your face but wow I mean so soothing so I'm getting ready to go head to the beach I'm gonna walk the beach I've got a ton of sunblock on a ton of sunblock on and yeah I don't you know we'll see what the day brings but that's what I'm doing I'm heading out to the beach my motorhome when we when we just do a quick two-day weekend like this I mean really um we're gonna leave Monday I'm gonna leave really early Monday because I have to work up in Portsmouth Jay will bring it home a little bit later on on Monday so because he doesn't have to go to work until like later Monday Monday night so that's the scoop and maybe I'll insert some beach clips at the end but so welcome to the vlog guys really pretty this is my kind of room so we're at Brooker's open house in Litchfield it's really nice I like how they did that yeah so people can see what's standard and what's not that's a great touch I am recording by the way I know I figured that with a beautiful I really like this first dinner dry camping oh let me see if I can now look at that oh my god that is full full isn't it any yeah a little home over there for the weekend so we're dry camping and we are walking the board walking the forward walk yeah forward walk and you were you ready to groove to the music no he's not ready anyways we wore jackets but it's actually pretty nice out I'm not too sure if you can really see any of this that well but this is all the piles of sand that will be creating sand sculptures they're probably going to start this week because this is quite a big event right babe yeah should be awesome we won't be here to see it though I'm sure you want to drive up here during the week I think I might you could just leave their trash crazy don't you try to eat me oh yeah that's where he's going he's on a mission a man on a mission and now he's gonna really think about it so what are you gonna have what are you gonna order Dutch almond, Dutch chocolate almond, so that's what kind of ice cream Dutch chocolate almond, small, small huh looks pretty big to me, is it good maybe I haven't had one of those here since last summer I just want to say that I did not get an ice cream is it even recording yeah it is I'm not good I'm not good you may be you've been doing good so look at the pink sky out there pink sky oh I'm gonna turn the camera around I don't know if the camera's picking it up but is it pink sky at night sailor's red sky in the morning sailor take warning yeah here's where we are dry camping so I watched the boat slip into the harbor and disappear I think later tonight or this afternoon we'll walk over and check it out then we went down to the bandstand the seashell area of Hampton and there was this band playing and she was really moving the crowd the interesting thing this time of year the crowd is made up mainly of Q-tips meaning older folks but that's okay I realized Jay and I are also older folks so we sat and watched them and then we walked around the sand sculpture area so we love going to Hampton Beach during the sand sculpture contest but we don't often get to see it at the very beginning phase as you can see this one is the welcome they just started it June 9th and next week will be the judging the 18th annual Hampton Beach master sand sculpting so we will see what all these piles of sand will look like it's kind of amazing to watch the progress she just stands quietly and watches the ocean get the star up there oh yeah one lonely star overlooking the lady hey good morning guys it's Sunday June 10th and man we had a great weekend as you can tell by the vlog clips I've included but one of the things that I'm always worried about when I come to the beach I'm really worried about sun exposure you know on my face I mean I'm doing all this you know I hate to use the phrase anti-aging but really it is I'm sorry I have a messy t-shirt on it really is anti-aging efforts anyway so you know retinae all of that stuff and then I always worry that I'm gonna get a sunburn I'm gonna get too much sun exposure I'm just gonna basically destroy everything that I've created or built or worked on these last two years because you know it has been just about two years my journey and it's it's been it's been an amazing journey and I've had amazing results and I didn't want to undo it so I have some wide brim hats that I wear I I wear a ton a sunblock and I know I need to get some color some natural color so you know I I've been working on that but overall I am pretty well at least my face neck arms you know is 50 you know my face and neck and chest is usually 50 SPF sometimes 30 and my arms are usually 30 and my legs are still pale but so so I don't know if we're gonna add this this may be the last camping trip we do before we go to Canada because we've Father's Day weekend coming up and we're not going to be going camping Father's Day weekend and then we just have our Canadian trip you know our plans so yeah and then arranging you know for my son and you know Rottweiler you know we've got to take care of the dogs and you know just arranging all of that stuff so that when we're gone you know he's at the house so I'm not worried about that but yeah just always worry a little bit anyways when you're gone but so today's last day of the beach and Jay and I are gonna head down to the beach and I don't know what we're gonna do tonight I want to walk over to Hampton Harbor and see if I can see that houseboat that I saw floating on that Friday when I first came that was pretty cool and and we'll see we'll see what the day brings I don't know how much longer the vlog will go on I know it's a shot vlog as far as just a few days of my life but that sounds weird to say but yeah I'll probably end it when we get back home we'll see so I went for a little beach walk with Jay it was so windy I had to mute the natural sound because you couldn't hear a thing I was saying did you find a nice little comfortable seat hey guys what a a beautiful day to be working real estate in New Hampshire I'm actually working out of the Exeter office today and it's just perfect temperatures out it's sunny it's breezy and maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to take a little river walk and when I go down there later maybe some of the flowers will be pretty cool but anyways Jay and I came home from the beach yesterday Monday today's Tuesday and he drove the motorhome home an eventful trip home it was really smooth sailing and I went to Portsmouth and worked out of our Portsmouth office of the day and that was really awesome so yeah it's really kind of bittersweet not to be thinking about going out again this weekend but we're both working Saturday and then we have Father's Day and just have um too much to do too much to do too much to do and then the following weekend my nieces get a bridal shower I can't wait that's gonna be awesome fun I thought it would just step onto this dock and maybe record a few seconds of a clip so you can maybe see what's behind me very peaceful so as you see this is just a really pretty place to walk and I've walked here before and shared this with you all before so you've seen this walk a number of times if you've watched my vlogs or some of my videos but I just thought I would stop here and just take a deep breath and reflect on the beauty of nature the water it's salt water lots of really nice places to explore in Exeter absolutely love it here and I guess I am I'm truly blessed I'm blessed to be able to enjoy something like this on my lunch hour and I think I'm just totally blessed all around because I actually enjoy creating my videos it's not a job for me I don't expect to make money off of them I love the fact that I can get some free products to review I'm very selective on what I accept I get a lot of offers in my email I would say 90% of them I turn down a because I'm not interested be because I like the routine I have and also because some of them are a little bit too demanding so I don't mind reviewing products that I choose to review I've been approached by a couple of companies that it was a static you know skindeva for one static to be approached by them teddy blake handbags I thought that was really cool I you know so I've been really lucky on some of the products that I've received and that I've reviewed and the all the wigs uni wigs I love doing those wigs so yeah maybe it's about time to do another wig review I don't know but I haven't gotten any more wigs so yeah for me it's just a completely different ball game when you do something that you enjoy and I have a full-time job so I am a caregiver for my older brother who is a disabled vietnam vet and I've been a caregiver for him for probably since 1996 if I go back and track it a long long time I also my parents are elderly they're 90 so they're needing more and more care and I work full-time but YouTube for me is a place that I enjoy and I want to keep it drama-free that's the right way to say it so I you know everyone has the different channel goals and mine are simply to share bits and pieces of my life with you to share some of the products that I like and to take you on this journey if you want to come on this journey of anti-aging trying to stay fit as much as possible and and just simply you know maybe look at life a little bit differently at times you know we're all kind of boxed into the way we perceive things to be at least I am and it's always nice and refreshing to have something happen or someone that takes me out of that comfort zone and makes me explore and that's what my skin care journey's been I never thought it would ever use bright and a oh my gosh never and to think that I've been using it for now you know for a long time going on two years in September the end of August I should say uh derma rolling a year in July wow come a long way baby I really have now my wrinkles you know they're still there but they're getting better or they're not getting worse I think that's the better they're not getting worse so anyways I'm going to end the vlog here and I just I just really appreciate every single one of you so thank you so much for all your support and all the fathers out there and all the women that are being fathers to children um happy father's day you know I hope that you enjoy your weekend with your family and that you have a wonderful wonderful father's day and for those of you whose fathers are no longer with you I hope you spend the day a little bit of it and I show you well reflecting on the man that helped contribute to being the person you are today if that makes sense so anyways it's my two cents three cents and probably way too long but thank you so much please be sure to like the video leave me a comment and make sure you subscribe to the channel I truly appreciate it bye guys


Greetings from Manipal Hospital, Jainagar. I am Dr. Sri Hari, senior interventional cardiologist. It gives me great privilege in letting you know that Manipal Hospital, Jainagar is now equipped with a state-of-the-art Phillips Azurion FD cath lab, which will help us in doing complex cardiac interventions.


Using our external modules, it can also measure flood level, road visibility, road surface condition, soil humidity and a lot more. This expandable approach makes it highly relevant for critical applications like disaster monitoring, agricultural predictions and road safety.


Sunday traditions. Sunday traditions. They're still going, right? I'm salivating. Not too shabby. Oh my gosh. So the heat kind of comes up here, and then when this is on, it kind of... Don't mind if I do. Don't mind if I do. Chililá seasoning blend. Just the right amount of salt and heat. It's looking pretty amazing. If I might say so myself. Question of the day. Your chicken. What's your trick? What do you like to do with chicken? We had steak, corn on the cob, and chicken tonight. But what do you like to do specifically for chicken? And what did we put on ours tonight? What was that? That red sauce? Chili lime seasoning. First time ever. Oh. Divine. Thank you TJs. Thank you. Boom. There it is again. Ayo. Success. That's a good one. That's a good one. Of all the newer, you know, the newer movies that are animated Disney movies, although I don't know if that's a Disney movie, but that is a well-put-together storyline. And great acting. And Jack Black. Crushed it. In a little, a little bit of recovery mode, the ankle feels better. Hey hun. Now you're good. You need anything? Remember what you said earlier? I don't know what it was, but we've had a tough night with Seth, Seth Sebastian. Alright, so fine evening, fine day. Grilling. Watching Kung Fu Panda. It's a nice Sunday tradition. We're starting. Ankle's feeling better. I'm not sore. I will be tomorrow though. Remember, Dom's delayed onset muscle soreness. It's coming. I know it's coming. The ankle does not hurt at all. It's just really puffy. Like a balloon. So I'll give you another update here now. And as far as the road rash from the fall, oh by the way, if you have not seen yesterday's vlog, you better go check it out. I'll try and remember to link it up here, upper right hand corner. It's a it's a little longer, you know, but if you have 10 minutes, basically I ran a race yesterday and it came down to a sprint at the end.  Let's just say it involves some road rash. Capiche, Capiche. Seek beauty. Work hard. Tomorrow's Monday. New week. New opportunities.


Welcome everyone, we're here at the Indian Pavilion here at the Expo 2020. So let's discover the whole pavilion right now. Let's go, come with me. All right, it's a big pavilion, all right, multiple floors. It's a really big pavilion and it's got so many floors right now and we're gonna check everything right now. Come let's go with me. With a big gate, with a lot of memes on there. So this is basically the big gate of the Indian Pavilion. And we've got the India within over here. Come with me. So when you come on to this side, we've got the main satellites launched by India in different areas basically, but the main satellites that are launched by India. One of them is basically the Mangalyan. We say this in Hindi and one of them, this is the Mangalyan mission or you can say the Mars Orbiter Mission of India where India launched their first satellite to the Mars. So basically there are so many countries who have attempted, but unfortunately they couldn't succeed in their first attempt. But India is one of the first countries to attempt and succeed in their first attempt itself. Why? Because they've applied a new technique, which is also known as the slingshot technique where they made these huge rotations around the Earth and eventually they entered the space of the Mars. So the total duration of this mission was around nine months and the total cost was around $74 million. One of the best parts is that we have got a small orbiter in here which keeps orbiting around this and it sends all the necessary information right now to ISRO and we hope it will keep doing so for the next ten years. So this is all about the Mars Orbiter Mission of India. And what is it doing around Mars? Is it mapping or? It's sending all the necessary information which are required. They had a hope that this will help them make a living possible for the humans on the Mars basically and this is checking all the climate change and the main climate change or the weather change that happens on the Mars. So this is basically for that. How soon are Indian astronauts going to land on Mars? Yeah, hopefully in the future, hopefully in 2025 or 2026 we're going to see the Indian astronaut that's going to land on the Mars. What rocket launched this satellite? This is the PSLV. Is it one of those? Yeah, it is one of those. Let's have a look. These are the Indian rockets. This is the PSLV that was launched to the Mars in 2013. So we have kept a small model or you can say a demo model of the rockets that were launched by India. There's been already a lot of launches. Yeah, there are a lot of rockets that have been launched but these are the main satellites that are launched by India in different years basically but these are the main satellites launched by India. What's the lift capacity compared to like Falcon 9 or? Yeah, if you see this one we have got two tons. It can carry two tons of weight and this has been successful in its first attempt itself. To low Earth orbit? Yeah, to orbit around the Mars. Ah, to Mars? Yeah, to the Mars. To the Mars, yeah, to the Mars. That's a lot. Yeah, exactly. So basically there are so many countries who have attempted but India is one of them who made history by clearing out in the first attempt itself. So this is one of the huge successes for India in terms of the Mars mission. And here the GSLV Mk3, it looks big. Yeah, this is to the Chandrayaan 2. The second satellite that was launched to the south pole of the Moon or you can say the darker side of the Moon. As it is the darker side, India had a hope that they might find water on the other side. This is why they launched this satellite. And unfortunately they couldn't land on the surface of the Moon but this is one of the most successful missions of India basically. This was launched in 2019. How soon are Indian astronauts going to walk on the Moon? Yeah, hopefully as we have talked about the Mars we have got some astronauts that are going to go to the Moon as well. Hopefully in 2023 or 24, hopefully. Is there a need to do international collaboration when this happens? Or India does one mission, China does another mission, USA does another mission? India has done a lot of collaborations with different countries. If you see this GSLV Mk3 or you can say the Chandrayaan 2 this was collaborated with Russia and they have launched this satellite in 2019. And hopefully there are a lot more collaborations coming up from India with different countries and they're going to launch different satellites. So it's launching from Baikonur? Yeah, it's launching from India. It launches from India, from the Andhra Pradesh or we have got this launch site which is also known as the Sri Harikota from Andhra Pradesh. That is the south side of the India. Nice. Do you show the Moon lander around here? We haven't got that. How about those little satellites there? Those? Yeah. Those are the satellites which are launched for the main resources of all of this. So those are around the earth? So these are launched to the space in different areas basically and what is the best part is that we have got a touchpad over there where if you want to know when they were launched and why they were launched we've got a touchpad with all the information of these satellites basically. And what do people say on this globe when they walk by here? A lot of people, they don't say anything. Most of them take pictures with this. This is one of the most successful missions done by India in different areas basically but these are one of the most successful missions of India. Nice. This ancient Indian astronomy. This is about the astronomy of India. How they used to calculate everything through sun, through stars and through galaxies. How they found new galaxies. So basically this is all about the astronomy video of India. And the best part is we have got a headset over here where you can use this and then you will get to know all the information if you want to listen to it. So this is one of the best things. Here are more satellites like life-size. These are the same size as the one in space. No, no, these are just a small model we have kept because a lot of people they are curious to know the satellites or to see the satellites. This is why we have kept small models of it where they can see and they'll get to know a 3D animation, video of a 3D animation model. So it's not nano-sats, it's actually kind of big. In the reality we have given scale as well where you can check the real size of these satellites. Ah, ten times the size. Ten times here, ten times ten times. Right. Here there's more interactive touch on the chronicles. Tap on the timelines to what's been happening. These are basically what has happened at ISRO or you can say the ISRO, what has happened at Indian Space Research Organization. The main events that has happened at Indian Space Research Organization from 1962 until 2020. So we have got all the information in this touchpad where you can swipe and you can check any of the information what has happened in different years. So this is basically for that. So if you swipe all the way back to 1962. 1962 is when the company was founded by Vikram Sarawai in 1962. So the formation of the company began in 1962 and it was formed into a personal organization which was made by Vikram Sarawai. Later on in 1975 it was turned into a government organization and then they launched their first satellite to the space basically which is also known as the Aryabhatta satellite from the Soviet Union. So this is basically about that. And what was this satellite doing? This is basically to capture the main events that is happening in the space or the climate change or basically all about the space basically. They want to know about everything. This is basically used for that.  Yeah, a lot of things has happened just like how I've told you about these satellites that were launched. We've got all the information in this because a lot of people are curious to know about these information. So this is why we've got all the information in this basically. If you go to much more recent times? 2020. Just like how I told you about the... As things are going very fast right now? Yeah, exactly. A bunch of missions in one year. These are not the main satellites or you can say these satellites that are launched for the testing or the demonstration satellites or the demonstration rockets launched by India or Indian Space Research Organization. We've got everything in there. So India is sending their astronauts and their own rockets? Yeah, exactly. They're collaborating with a lot of other countries and they're going to send their astronauts soon. Right now they have sent just to the space but they haven't sent anyone to the moon or to the Mars. But they're going to do that in the future hopefully so we can see them. Soon maybe the ISS, the International Space Station will be away for India to launch there. Everything will be launched either from America or from India itself. So basically we as an Indians, we hope everything will be launched from India itself. So this is one of the most...  So basically we are talking about collaborations made by India. So these are basically all the collaborations made by India and their achievements. So India has done a lot of collaborations with Soviet Union, with Russia, with America, with Israel, with UAE and they have launched a lot of rockets and satellites. So we've got all the information in this basically. One of those main events is basically the 1981, the Apple satellite that was transported on a bullock by India. So basically this is one of those main events that has happened at ISRO and we have got all these achievements in this basically. It was launched from India? Yeah, it was launched from Soviet Union. Ah, from the Soviet Union? Yeah. Alright. So a lot of young people in India are very excited about space. Yeah, exactly. There are a lot of people they're excited about this and they're really getting into this. Hopefully one of them might be our recent astronauts that are going to launch their astronaut to the space or to the Mars or the moon. Even further maybe. You're showing all the planets here. Yeah, exactly. We have shown a lot of planets and one of those main ones are the moon and the Mars and hopefully we're going to see the further ones as well. Nice. Is this the space suit? This is the space suit which is made by ISRO and they're going to help. This is basically a selfie point where you get into this and then you can take pictures with this basically. So you can see the ISRO mark on the Indian flag. Has this flown in space yet? No, they're going to fly this in the future. They haven't tested it already. No, they haven't tested this right now. But hopefully in the future we're going to see this to be seen again. In the future like this year. Hopefully in 2025 or 26 hopefully. Just like how we told you about our astronauts that are going to launch to the space or to the moon or the Mars. So basically they're going to use this suit basically. And here is a presentation of the India to the moon. This is basically the launch of the Chandrayaan 2. The second satellite that was launched by India to the south pole of the moon or you can say the darker side of the moon. So as it was the darker side India had a hope that they might find water on the other side. That this will eventually make up living possible for the humans on the moon. But unfortunately this wasn't successful but this was a collaboration made by Russia and hopefully India is coming up with Chandrayaan 3. Hopefully in 2022 or 23 and this time we hope India will succeed in this. Just a little bit on the landing that's missing or something like that. It consisted of three parts the orbiter, the lander and the rover. The rover was in the lander but unfortunately the lander was just 1.67 kilometers away from landing on the surface of the moon but unfortunately they lost connection and there were some problems with the soft landing due to which the lander crashed. But they're going to try again hopefully this time we will succeed. And we can watch it live on YouTube? Yeah exactly a lot of people in India and the other countries they have watched this live and when we tell them about this a lot of people they have watched this live. So if you want to know about this we have got the whole video where you can stand inside this and you'll get to know all the information about the south pole that the rocket that was launched to the south pole of the moon. Basically we have got the whole video. It's not very expensive when India does launch to the moon compared to like the US or the Chinese missions Yeah just like how we have seen in the mass missions where India is the only country to build the cheapest or the most cost effective satellite made by any country just in the mass missions 76 million 74 million dollars 74 million dollars which is lesser than making a Hollywood movie. So that was a huge success for India. This is also a huge success for India as this was also built in one of the most cheapest forms. So basically this the total spent was around 134 million but this is still one of the huge successes for India. You know like the ex was amazing but I'm sure some of the billions cost more money. Yeah exactly. One per billion. So one of them is basically the Indian Pavilion and we assure you that when you come in here you're gonna enjoy the space side of the moon and then we have got the three floors which basically has the historical buildings present in India then we have got all about the culture and all about the main events that has happened in India and basically the relations of India with different countries.

Yeah exactly So we are going to show all about the culture all about the historical buildings present in Indian pavilions Big screen here with reflections So these are cave paintings This floor name is endless colours of India Let me cut And here we are on the first floor Hello Hello I am Reema Namaste So welcome to the Indian pavilion This is the first floor It's endless colours of India So there are like 360 degree mirrors you can see in the wall on the walls they are presenting art forms textiles even like dance and cultural festivals and everything And here these are monuments under world heritage site So the first monument is going to be Rani Ki Vav So Rani Ki Vav is in Gujarat Patan It is also a known as step well inverted step well that is made by a queen in 11th century Rani Yudhya Mati for her husband who came from Sulanki dynasty This temple is also there in 100 rupees note of our Indian currency So we will move for the next monument How much of it is preserved to this day? It's 11th century old temple still available in Gujarat The whole everything is still there Yes, everything is still there It is under UNESCO world heritage site So all visitors are able to visit And it looks like it's down in the ground It's really deep about 26 meters deep And with all these like So this is a well Yeah, this is a well to store water And this is like as you see when you go deep there was a temple inside There are like in previously there were 292 pillars among in this temple But now only 226 pillars exist So we will move for the next monument Nice So this is Sun temple Konark It is an Odisha Puri near the state of Jarkhand not each site So this temple Konark is dedicated to Sun and Sun King named Krishnadevaraya who came from Ganga dynasty This temple is dedicated to Sun God So it shows us the timing The king have designed this temple like like chariot because it has 7 horses and 12 pairs of wheels 7 horses represent 7 days in a week and 12 pairs of wheels have been 12 months in a year Each wheel represents 24 strokes It means 24 hours in a day Thank you So we will move to the next monument On the big screens There are different things happening You will see the Kathak is going on like the Kathakom So this is Kathakali the Indian dance forms There are different types of dance forms in India So this is Shikashi Vishwanath temple It is in Uttar Pradesh Varanasi This temple is 18th century old temple also known as Golden temple Because in 18th century Maharaja Randitsingh ordered the queen to cover the temple So this temple is about 5.3 carat gold Now they are extending this temple So within 4-5 months it is going to be ready This temple is one of the famous god Lord Shiva And it is also one of the famous Hindus temple And it is located on the western side of the Hollis river Gangas This temple received 3000 visitors every single day And it is under Inesco world had its site So the next one So as you see here is Taj Mahal The 7 wonder of the world Taj Mahal was built in 17th century by Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal This symbolizes love It was built in 17th century And it was used by white marbles And white marbles are used in such a way that during different day time the light reflects and looks very beautiful This is located on the river bank of Yamuna And the Yamuna river is its fountain So this is also symbolizes love When you go inside the Taj Mahal you are going to see Shah Jahan and Mumtaz graveyard side by side You see the four pillars around this Taj Mahal they are not straight because they are to be outwards Like if there is any serious disaster or something it does not destroy the main Taj Mahal inside one So we will move to the next one So this is Stone chariot Hampi It is in Karnataka This is located between the Vijay temple This temple was built in 16th century by a king who came from Vijay Nagar dynasty This temple is also there in 50 rupees note of an Indian currency During 16th century the dome was there As the time got passed the dome got vanished No one know where the dome was actually located but the researchers are going to research on it This temple has 7 minor pillars around this temple When you ring them you are going to hear musical sound like Sarega Appa wheels So in previous year because of the local visitors one of the wheel got displaced from its position So that's why the government stopped the visit to touch the wheel So now it's not allowed to touch It is under Inesco World Health Site Thank you And where do visitors go from there Yes So we will go to the second floor Yeah Yes And you can talk about this also We will find your friend up there Second floor I can't talk We go up there Yes So we will go to the second floor It's about never ending opportunities of India It's going to show you the past present and future of India What is the transformation have gone from past to the future So there is a very big pavilion with a lot of things happening Yeah Alright Let's see if one of your colleagues will be ready to speak with us So welcome Namaste and welcome to the technology and innovations floor of the India pavilion Here we are showing a video which is a transformation about India from the time of its freedom till date that is from the 1940s to the 2020s how India transformation from a scattered state into a union with all different progresses like to becoming the green revolution the milk revolution and all So here we are showing it decade wise that is from 1940s then the 1950s progression then even we are describing about the underground nuclear test that was conducted in the 1970s and on this walls you see several different screens these screens represent the different projects that were undertaken in these 75 years and their progresses So it's a lot to do with digital transformation That's correct Connecting everybody to the internet Connecting everybody connecting the rural to the cities to the metropolitan cities Here we are showing a small video about a transformation of how a forest tribal village was developed and transformed On the wall you see the New India This wall shows you New India the new opportunities that are coming up with all the departments that are under promotion of ministry and internal trades So India is manufacturing a lot of things That's correct Not only for India but for the whole world That's exactly right And just more and more in the future like all these cars we will definitely see those things and the sectors that as you said we are manufacturing things for India as well as the world We will see that in the second part of the floor So let's move towards that Here on this screen you see the department for promotion of industry and internal trade These are the sectors which have not been promoted or not established yet They are still under progress So if you click on any of the sectors it will display on the screen giving the information of that particular sector I'm checking out the telecom for example I heard that in the last few years there's been some promotions done by some of the companies that do the telecom in India That's correct to really bring very affordable very fast internet to everybody Very fast internet very affordable internet Everybody can afford it Yes We have very planned from the lowest to the maximum That is even a common man can get those facilities available 4G Yes 4G now we are also getting 5G But it's not only the cities but I guess the cities have much more than the villages That's correct Cities are much more than villages But I would like to tell you one more thing The people from the villages are migrating to cities for job new opportunities as I told you Here we go ahead there you see an animal and a logo that says make in India Well the animal which you see is a lion and that is the logo for make in India initiative which is a government initiative to manufacture goods inside the country Manufacturing goods means every part would be manufactured in India to the whole product Plus this initiative will give a boost to the startups and the small scale industries Plus this would create opportunities and employment to the people in the country Can you Which are the cities where there's a lot of manufacturing happening Well there are different cities like in Pune if you see there are several infrastructures that are going on we have Nakpur which is famous for oranges fruits there are several different cities that will manufacture these things and Like Bangalore is more doing the software also manufacturing Correct Bangalore would more be on the software industry then you have Chennai where in your chips and the credit cards the master cards the debit cards which we use are manufactured there But it's not so easy to make chipsets like Taiwan and maybe also China has some kind of and Korea they have some technology that's hard to get access like even the US have nothing to do to make them As you know in the entire world there are Indians who are working for such kind of companies that are software developing countries or the hardware companies So we have that manpower we have that technology available it's just a boost that the people need and you can see up these are the sectors that are focused under the Make in India project Mining Renewable Energy and if you'll ask me why we selected Lion as the logo I would like to tell you there are two reasons one because Lion is the emblem of the Indian Constitution second since Lion is called the king of the jungle and India is aiming to become the king of startups that's why we selected Lion as the logo and the wheels that you see that are continuously moving those are inspiration from the Ashoka chakra on the Indian flag which has 24 strokes which means you should work 24 hours towards progress and become successful So hard work like for example when we look at China they achieve what they've been doing by working very hard for many years Yes they have achieved working very hard they have boosted their small scale industries that's why I said Make in India will help and boost the small scale industries and the startup industries if for example anyone is planning to start a business government will definitely help them with all kinds of facilities and startups they will like for example there will be some people who have just graduated let's take an example of an engineer a mechanical engineer he wants to start his own workshop or something but he doesn't have the finance and there will be institutions who will not finance you unless you have any background or a backup but the government organizations will give you uncertain basis terms and conditions and the finance the health even if you want to develop something they will help you with that as well and making it easy to pay taxes and not pay too much taxes maybe they will have lot of facilities available it could be possible that their taxes might be reduced since they are helping that's correct that is what we call new India and then above you see the smart city model this is basically a general smart city structure this was a small competition held across the country where in different states had to nominate the upcoming infrastructurally developing cities and there were 98 nominations under this project these cities will go under the transformation one by one in the phases so out of 98 cities there are 20 cities that have been selected in the first round undergo the transformation let me tell you what exactly we mean by smart cities smart city is a well-organized well-planned well-connected city with updated health and educational facilities plus well-planned road use of solar energy reducing pollution what are you thinking in terms of traffic because sometimes it's many cars many well-planned roads we would have the flyovers made it's our as I said like we have already started the monorail projects we have the metros in place I like the boring company from Elon Musk with all the tunnels I wish somebody would just adopt that idea well the tunnels come under the government sector so it would be the government that would update the tunnels they will restructure those tunnels once again further we move on on this wall you see the world map on top you see a title that says Vasudeva Kutumim that means the world is one family here we are trying to display the foreign affairs and the friendships built by the Indian Prime Minister with the nations across so he's been busy trying to improve India in all sorts of ways he has been building relationship with the idea of new India which I just explained to you so that the world also knows what progress we are making and hopefully India is getting good deals out of all these partnerships right like hopefully there is a lot to win for India and that it's a win-win position for both of the countries and you see as the title suggests business environment between India and UAE trade relation this video will give you a detailed information about India and UAE since 3000 BC that's 5000 years ago that's correct it's not only economical or financial but even the defense affairs what are going on between India and UAE is all explained in detail in this video India is not so far is not too far from here right no it's not that far from here it's just one sea away can you just build a pipeline it's a gulf that's correct can there be a pipeline from here to there possible that could be but that would be underwater yeah okay alright from some of the other countries that has a lot of India would like to have access to natural gas and stuff like that correct yes because from UAE Bombay is the closest airport wherein you reach within 3 hours that's like that's closer than Europe exactly yeah Europe is like 5 hours 5 hours alright ah nice so that's a nice big floor and is even meeting rooms over there or no that's the exit for the elevators exit but what's up there even more those are just the corporate floor wherein we have different companies from India yeah that have their projects projected let's go up and see if some of them want to talk on video so I see from here there's Tata yes which is making a lot of cars you will see Adani you will see Hindustan Unilever you will see Baiju's DreamSport Hinduja Group alright let's have a look thanks a lot you're welcome thank you okay welcome to the third floor now this is the corporate floor where you have different companies from India which are projecting their upcoming projects the first company we see is Vedanta Vedanta is transforming elements for a better tomorrow is the logo that means they are helping with the educational facilities in the rural areas looking up to people if they are they are getting all kinds of facilities for them the next we see Tata Group as we all know Tata is one of the biggest companies in India so they are projecting their new projects in the steel industry in the communication industry and the airline industry also they even building airplanes yes they are partners with Air Vistara Airbus 100 million consumers and Tata is one of the brands of Tata alright so the next we come to Hindustan Unilever which is a very famous brand in India with the main brand would be the Toothpaste Colgate which is made under the Hindustan Unilever project that's my favorite and so the Unilever is just like billions and billions of products being sold they have many products all household products what we can think of and next is the Adani Group well we all know their aim is growth with goodness so Adani is also projecting their projects in the development of rural areas with schools colleges in energy and petroleum industry and this is Baiju Baiju is basically an educational app for children in schools high schools and colleges alright education is a big challenge for a country with so many people right and hopefully things are moving to positive things right yes keeping fast yes keeping in mind the population of the country and the new generation the young generation that's coming up since now we all know past two years we don't have offline classes it's all online so Baiju surely helps them to understand in a better way online alright but hopefully online in a positive way not just because of some kind of pandemic or something definitely I've been afterwards later also when the offline classes will start students can access this yeah and here we come to the Hinduja group here they are projecting their project about water purification and providing water to especially to those people who are unable to get clean water drinking water it's a very big challenge to get clean water and desalinate water and clean water exactly especially in the rural areas where you don't have proper storage facilities for water and here is Larson and Tubro that we all know is very famous for their infrastructures is it Danish guy? Larson yes alright partner with the Indian companies I mean they're together they're making company and this is a very famous social app Facebook I saw that Facebook is even giving free internet as long as you only use Facebook or something like that we have special internet packs wherein you can use social media apps on it so Facebook is one of them so that means as far as I understand they're sponsoring some of the network correct they're sponsoring some of the networks so that there is connectivity amongst people as you know the population of India is too much alright alright that's great and next is Reliance Industries Limited we all know Reliance is one of the famous industries in telecommunication in energy and also in the supermarkets where we have Reliance Fresh and healthcare also thanks a lot for for showing all this thank you so much my name is Pooja and I will sign off for the day and so the expo is hopefully bringing many new connections people are connecting with India there are opportunities in every country so people from different countries can travel for opportunities for work purpose for education and even migrate to those countries and then come back or do projects that benefit India even if they don't come back there's all kinds of ways the future will be bright hopefully for everybody correct thank you


an pull it up. Sorry. Because being perfectly transparent, I haven't read it. So I'm reading student papers, not Kevin's memos. Maybe you should read his memo. I can do that. Student papers and shared. Use a red pen. Students are much more interesting. I never use red pens, Tim, it intimidates the students. First off, look at the margins.  Oh, stop it. Watch it, Tim, or I'll mute you. Yeah, exactly. And if you don't, I will. So we start with the police department and the memo that Chief Burke sent out. One of the challenges that we have and continue to have is in mental health is that there are people falling between the cracks. There's no, while community outreach is doing an outstanding job of addressing people's needs at the point of contact, when they're on duty, there are still people falling between the cracks because we don't have a 24 seven crisis center that will take everybody. The emergency department is an option, but they won't take people who are violent or are part of their issue is that they're drunk. Act one won't take people if they're violent or if they've got mental health issues. The correctional facility will take everybody unless the people have figured out how to get out of that, which is to claim that they're having a heart attack or a stroke or some medical issue, which time we have to transport them back to the hospital. And so this is what the chiefs have referred to as the as the rodeo. And so by default, these people who have needs are their treatment is happening in the backseat of a cruiser. And that's no treatment at all. So we need to be working with the department of mental health and other providers to try to figure out how we can get a 24 seven crisis center. And so this is as much about policy, some legislative policies that will need to be changed or and facility. So it's a combined issue. And it's a county issue too. Yes. This is not just South Burlington. Oh, this is a state-wide. It includes everybody. If not national. Yeah. Our police are dealing with it as our Colchester Essex and oftentimes the person that is in the rodeo in South Burlington tonight is in Essex or Colchester tomorrow. So it's the willingness of the war and this are the public to allow people to fall between the cracks. And I don't think we should be there. And so that's the chief's number one issue. Also use of forest legislation. The chief met with representative Rourad who's leading the effort in the house last week. And there seems to be some progress in talking to Martin about some refinement that needs prohibited restraint needs to be possibly amended for a response in the situation of deadly force. Again, these are all in the chief's memo. Tom referred to the body worn camera technology that we have in our capital plan for fiscal 23. The cameras themselves are not the big cost. It's the storage. And we need to find some creative ways for the state to subsidize or otherwise create facilities that allow storage for all the communities because it's likely that there will be a mandate for the use of body cameras. I don't see why Amazon web storage wouldn't be the solution for this. It's the cheapest way to storage large amounts of data. There's gotta be a simple IT solution for this outside the proprietary nature of those cameras because they're just ripping people off. Yeah, it's really the storage, Tim. Yeah, I mean, if that's a solution then I think it should be a statewide solution we could all participate in. Okay. On the planning side, S237, the big housing bill, some of that didn't pass. We can get you the Vermont Planners Association position paper on that. This was Senator Sorotkin's bill that he spent a lot of time on. There is gonna be an effort that we understand for statewide rental registry. If that happens, obviously that would address some of our issues in South Burlington where we do not have such a registry. And as far as Act 250, I imagine that will be another effort to go back and address a lot of the Act 250 amendments that were not passed in the end. We certainly are interested in trying to find ways to ease the permitting burden in our designated downtowns and village centers and in fact, our new town center. So that's something we wanna ask the legislature to consider. One of our biggest concerns is not at this point legislative but it's regulatory is the continuing threats by the Department of Environmental Conservation to deny us the ability to deposit and spread class A biosolids on land. Now we spend, and you'll see this in Justin's budget, we spend a lot of money on alum and other chemicals that reduce the toxicity of biosolids so that we can achieve class A standard to be able to spread them on the fields. If we don't, if that's denied us in the future, we will have to spend probably more than half a million dollars in transport and disposal at a landfill. Now, we're one of the few communities that can do this if we may even be the only one but it's bad policy, we think, to ask us to improve the quality of our biosolids and then deny us the ability to land apply and just throw them into a landfill with all the other communities who aren't achieving nearly as high a standard as we are. And so this needs to be, DEC either needs to back down or the legislature needs to come in at some point and allow this to continue to occur. Really, this would be a half a million dollar additional expense for us. And quite frankly, we're very proud of the work our department is doing, not only on this, but on phosphorus in the lake. Different issue, but we're the leaders in the state on both of these issues and this would set us back considerably. Justin notes that a couple of highway and road programs and paving programs that we're hoping will be reestablished or increased. Justin also reminds us that, and this is not necessarily a legislative issue but our legislators should be aware that our stormwater, our wastewater facility managers and staff need to be included as essential employees without water and sewage, we're in deep trouble. And so when we talk about first responders we should be talking about first responders but as we're talking about getting the vaccination and access to therapeutics and so on we should also be talking about our wastewater facility staff. And then again, frontline employees for relief money down under the, oops, how did I get that to work? Under miscellaneous, the Chittin County Public Safety Authority, the communities have agreed to fund the cost associated with fitting up 19 Gregory Drive for the consolidated dispatch but we need help from the state for the technology piece. It's $750,000. This is going to greatly increase the efficiency and the response time for emergencies and lead to more consolidations across the state. And we think this state needs to be part of this discussion. So we're gonna be asking the state, we being the board of CCPSA to come in with $750,000 to cover the cost of just the technology piece of the overall capital budget for the consolidated dispatch. Is it too late to ask for CARES money for that right now? Yeah, CARES money is really not programmed into this sort of thing, Tim. I tried a month or so ago, I'm gonna try again probably this week and we'll see. This is first responder improvement, right? It's really, I mean, it's very much related. You gotta spend it by the end of the year. That'd be great if they could just write us a check, right? It would be, you know, they're even in South Burlington, there are times during the day, in fact, right now, where we only have one dispatcher on. If we had, if COVID-19 had or does affect our dispatch team, we're gonna be in real trouble. And every other community that we're working with and CCPSA is in the same position except Burlington. Burlington never has less than, I think, two, but even there, there's a vulnerability that is huge in public safety. And consolidation will be what gets us 90%, 80% of the way to eliminating it. But imagine not being able to take calls and dispatch on public safety folks or have great delays in doing it. It's the linchpin of how everything else works. And so we need to move forward with this. Earlier in the fall, I guess, for winter, I guess for the winter, MADA had reached out to find out what our views were on continuing the effort on the regional governance of Burlington International Airport. So that's in your memo, state ownership possibly and regional governance possibly. And she has agreed to go ahead and reintroduce that, I think, as a study bill. And then lastly, last week, you saw the announcement from the tax department that they're looking at a potential 9% increase in the property tax for education.  It's crowding out. It's just pushing municipal needs off the table. We're gonna be working very, very hard to get to an acceptable budget for you on the municipal side. But when the education's coming in at 9%, possibly on the property tax, something's gotta stop here because this is just not sustainable. We all want education, but across the state enrollments continue to go down. Yet year over year over year, we continue to have significant increases. This is the biggest one for a couple of years, but still significant increases. Of course, this will probably get pushed down somewhat, but still anything above 5%, 6% is, there's gotta be something left for municipality. So those are the issues that we have identified as staff. Counselors, you may have other things that are important that we can add on to this list. Well, I think, can I talk? Can I go? Yes, you may. Okay, I think it's an excellent list, Gavin, and it's very realistic and it's somewhat daunting. Tom, I think it's gonna be very important and it will be very ideal for us if indeed you are involved in the transportation and capital expenditures areas, transportation being perhaps most important. I see the airport on there. And as you reminded me last year or the year before, I chaired a study back in 1984 to do this very thing. So it'd be 94.044 only three and a half decades ago, kind of like city center. Maybe now's the time you can make it happen, right? The only thing I see that I don't see, Gavin, is we have discussed off and on about getting a greater share of our local options tax. Did I miss that or is that not on the list? It's not on the list, Dave, and it's a great catch. Well, let's get that on there because right now we get what? 300 and what? On a non-COVID year. Well, we get 70% which yields about $4 million. The state takes the other 30% off the top plus about an $80,000 processing fee. Oh yeah. And they don't do that for Burlington, right? So it's just something, yeah. So we get about 4 million bucks of that but we pay the state 80,000 bucks to process that 4 million. Is that what you're saying? Yes. I forget. Right, and they won't even tell us who it's from. That was the other piece. There's no transparency. So it'd be helpful to know which members of our community are contributing more so that we can somehow adjust or consider that accordingly. Yeah, and I don't see why we're paying an $80,000 processing fee. And I don't see why we should only get 70% of what our businesses generate. I'm not sure which parts of this battle we can win but I think that we should try to get a better deal out of that, for lack of a better term. Good, I'm glad you brought that up. Maybe you can write something up and add it as number four under other miscellaneous maybe. That's where it fits. Will do, absolutely. Good catch. Any other thoughts people have of items for the legislature? I think it's a great list. Good luck, right? It's a big one, yeah. Well, get them, Tom. That's why we elected you for God's sake, right? You and Sir Rockin' bring the whole bacon home. I'm gonna do my best, Dave, I'm gonna do my best. We need the whole pig, not just the bacon. Good line, Helen, yes. Okay, so if we're done with that, we've done item 14, 15 and 16. Is there any other business? Dinner. Dinner, oh, Megan. Thank you. Today I received a letter from the Vermont Air National Guard regarding the Restoration Program Restoration Advisory Board asking if I would like to serve on the board. Did any of you receive this letter? I haven't seen today's mail, so I don't know. I haven't seen the mail yet. I received the same thing. Oh, maybe we should talk about that because it might be worthwhile to have a counselor on the board. Uh-huh. And since more than one of us has been, maybe all five of us have received these, it might be useful for us to discuss that. And what is the title of the Restoration Program Restoration Advisory Board? And they're asking, first of all, if we need to establish this board for the base? Yeah, they didn't, it's a critical part of conducting a successful environmental investigation and cleanup program. Oh. So it has to do with the, you know, brownwater pollution and all that stuff, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So the questions that I need to answer and maybe all of us need to answer is, do we think there's a need for this at our base? And if so, would, you know, we'd be interested in serving on it. December 18th, however, is the deadline. So I know, I just received it today. I would have contacted people earlier. Our next meeting's the 21st. And this was from the air guard? Yeah. Who's, is it from Adam? Who's it from? David. Shepchick, yeah. David. Shepchick. Colonel, Colonel Shepchick. I'll send you an image of it right now, Kevin. Okay. Do you want me to reach out and try and get some more information? Or is the letter self-explanatory? I don't know who they contacted.  Have they reached out to members of the public? I certainly don't want this to, you know, just slide past us and nobody respond if this is really addressed to us. Well, Kevin, why don't you reach out and find out? Maybe there's actually been some other people like Justin or something who have also been invited. I mean, I don't know what kind of technical expertise they might want on this, or if they're just looking for a, you know, to cross the T that says, yeah, we reached out to the public and had two meetings and we checked that box off. My guess, Helen, is that it's part of their requirements under their federal programs, funding programs that they have community input on these things. But let me reach out and find out more about this and get some of Megan's questions answered and then get back to you right away. Okay, and then do you want to, do we want to have like a real quick discussion on the phone on this? I don't know. I mean, yeah, that's fine with me. I mean, Tom and I, you know, he's going to be busy, but I could certainly, if it depends on the schedule to be quite frank, if it's in the middle of the day, it's just teaching is God be my priority. So, but if it's an evening. Okay. Well, can we leave it this way if you're interested and find out that if you have the time, Megan, I think you would be a very good representative. I think we ought to, I think Kevin ought to find out are there other people in our community who might also be important to include on this? I mean, there may be someone on one of our committees. You know, I mean. Oh, it doesn't have to be me. I just, Tom was saying he was looking for an appointment earlier and I'm not sure he really is. So, you know, if it has to be one of us, I'm just saying I'll put my name in the chat. Well, I think you'd be very good. So Kevin, why don't you do some research? Let us all know. And then if it sounds like it's a good idea, then Megan has kind of offered to be that representative unless we feel, you know, somebody else would be better. Not a, you know, not way down in council with yet another job, but someone. Okay. So, Tom, did you say you were gonna send that to me or did Tim say that? I did. I sent it to you and Megan in an email two minutes ago. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Okay. So any other business? Tim. Kevin, can you ask Justin if the Eastwoods neighborhood sewer disconnection project from Burlington has indeed paid for itself because the original ROI was supposed to be about 18 months and we're coming up on about 18 months. And I'm just curious whether, you know, if the performance of that new system and the expenses are in our favor. I'm assuming it is, but. Yeah. Well, that was good news to share with the public. We don't take no, oh, actually we do take it. Yeah, we take it that we process it ourselves and we save some money. Right. Let me find out about that. Just curious, that's all. We still have a tiny payment. You're gonna see this in general fund budget or not in the general fund budget, but in sewer budget, about $5,000, we still pay Burlington. There are a couple of properties, Justin noted, one being CWD, interestingly, that still go to Burlington system, but it's $5,000. But the whole rest of that, I'll find out. Okay. I think we're close, I can't say. It's probably humane society and CWD, right? It could be, could be. Okay, is there any other business? All right, I would love a motion to adjourn. In a second, okay. And we're all in favor, two thumbs up. Good meeting guys, thank you. That was, it was good, Kevin. We got a lot of good information and had some good conversations, I think. And it looks like we have a lot of work ahead of us. Oh, it was a great team. This conference is no longer being recorded. Okay, well, thank you very much. See you on the 21st, yeah. Yeah.


You're welcome back to the breakfast on plus TV Africa. It's now time for off the press and let's say hello to our guest Mr Demola Kimbola the publisher of the podium medium. Good morning. Thank you for joining us Good morning. Thank you for having me speaking. All right Let's start with the Daily Trust newspaper. The headline says Nigerians grown as cooking that's price keeps soaring marketers blame for X VAT low supply NNPC says will soon increase supply Above that headline on the Daily Trust Erufi mocks southern governors says anti-open Grayson law not implementable Nigeria sells four billion dollars euro bond it will ease pressure on the Naira Northern elders say how Buhari successor should emerge also restructuring JGAS6 scrapping of 24 states COVID-19 eroded 20% full-time jobs in 2020. That's according to the MBS and Lastly bandits outnumber security personnel. That's a statement by Masari and the governor and Emyah tells fair FG eliminate them at all costs All right Let's move to the nation newspapers Big one there says anti-open Grayson L. Rafa attacks southern governors They're making political law that can't be implemented. He says Aggrieved or your PDP members plan parallel Congress and also bearer for on the basic canoe on the 16th of October Still on the nation this morning agency says 1.8 million people fully vaccinated in Nigeria Jagat Uthomi and others float rescue Nigeria project It's an interesting conversation Buhari six removal of ministers from NNPC limited board and also NBS report 20% of Nigerians lose jobs to COVID-19 Government raises four billion dollars euro bonds to finance 2021 budget and under Value-added tax controversy Says that controversy lingers multiple cases create uncertain to your collection and sharing of August remittance Also, Nigeria security threats complex as the IG Finally Oshoom makes 19 billion Naira from internally generated revenue Let's take a look at the leadership newspaper 36 days after assets PNB six amendments to PIA Says acts makes no provision for federal character political appointees as board members Ignores outcry over 3% for host communities Nominates board members for upstream regulatory commission EFCC others experts react Tension in Kutangura over selection of new emir Flarge displaces several families in rivers corporate bodies security agencies and DOS editors conference PDP convention Ali would do more so others worn against imposition The Shimbaj Roy here says and tells African leaders that our Nigeria's youth must be given jobs Northwest governors engage 3000 vigilantes to combat banditry Senate moves life imprisonment for kidnappers And now on the daily independent Jaga Ahmed Duke Utomi lead move to upstage the APC government Say in a potism lack of exclusiveness gave rise to agitations lamenting security collapse of economy despite claim of GDP rise Anti-open grazing laws on unenforceable or if I tell Southern governors says kaduna 10 billion Naira Katur Ranch will be ready in two years Delta assembly passes anti-open grazing bill also 2023 seeding presidency to North dangerous for Nigeria's unity says Ishe Sige Libel's any F spokesman Baba Ahmed northern irredentist Senate considers life imprisonment for kidnappers Proposes 30 year jail term for ransom collection and also why Chinese company abandoned work on a new Terminal not Laker Lagos Airport federal government frowns at people trying to get COVID-19 vaccination cards without jab And also again federal government plans to register new mobile phones before use Buhari writes National Assembly Sixth Amendment to Petroleum Industry Act, and I think one other here Sanus To stop cursing leaders because of hardship Mr. King well good morning to you. I think I would love to start with the new movement by a Tahiru Jaga Patutomi Donald Duke, and I'm not sure which I met this is It is called the Rescue Nigeria project. So let's start with that. I think this is like clockwork. We have this every four years How do you how would you take this one? I Was simply the air we go again Each time we get close to the election some form of a loose association springs up Tread me to challenge the status quo But unfortunately experience has shown That's at the end of the day Disagreements over sharing our positions Ideologies and stuff like that often score to such plan I believe this is too late for 20 three if we're going to set a Difficult to be serious about the rescue Nigeria project through the project process then we should be working towards 20 Positions have been taking sources have been mobilized. I do not know what they can do in the next three years and It will take them time actually to bring on board a lot of people Game changers I call them in the political landscape It should take me a lot of time to convince them to come on board So I think for 2023 was talking with APC PDP We've always said they are the same and we first have to meet you with one of them I agree and I support the initiative for a third Platform which would be different from what we are used to But I also know that in Nigeria the reality of students political parties particular platform put a lot of money a lot of money and If these guys are not careful they're going to print on board people strange best fellows Ideological strength best fellows and that's who definitely is caught to whatever dream that they have So in theory is a good idea. That should be worked upon against 27 Because we need to them have a lot of skill mobilization across the country But if you ask me, we need an alternative to APC PDP. Yes, we do Yeah, is it also interesting seeing at a hero Jaga as one of the power of this movement Yes, it is. I mean I was shocked. I was shocked like they will say in the In the local streets palace of Nigeria. It shocked me seeing Jaga there Contrary to the role it plays just exactly as I know chairman and you begin to wonder Isn't there something in his contract that will have prevented him from going into active Politician maybe within 5-10 years of living office that I think we should consider because He comes with a lot of insight into how the electoral process works. Okay, and whether these things that are going to be used To the president of the country or not It is something else that needs to be looked into. But yes, he is welcome Consumption allows it and then let's get close Really, I look at all of people there What's political waste to the carry? I mean how they can win elections in front of policy Holy votes. Okay, so police isn't idea. It's it's it's funny Because the way to structure whatever like it or not is still cash and carry. It's unfortunate But as a truth you need someone to mobilize mobilizing in this case means giving voters money to vote for you It's not something we should be proud to say, but that is the side of reality of a political system So where these guys are going to be able to amass enough Work chest enough resources to fight APC PDP between now It is good for us to have this discussion. Let it be going on. Okay, but we do not need to phone us I'll be before we know that we need another 18 APC Don't forget in 2015 or so. We are the So that the rotary we had all of them coming together, but it never works. Why because they brought together people who are different ideologies So maybe the leftist maybe it's the time has come for us to have a leftist political party So basically APC PDP we can we see there was conservative Rightist party. We need a genuinely leftist party to look at issues from a different aspect to so until the years it's a welcome idea That we should but we should look at 27 Okay, so another big story that we've really talked about for a long time and even over a decade is the petroleum industry act the good thing how this all skewed through but One of the challenges regarding this is the outcry by host communities over the 3% That they were to get they were really pushing for this to be increased and there were conversations about the amendment You know amendment to the PIA to give this host communities a bigger share of the cake But 36 days after the ascent of this PIA on the daily the leadership newspaper says that President Muhammad Abu Harry has written to the Senate seeking amendments to that act and the amendments he's talking about here really is about His intentions to increase the number of people the membership of the board of the Nigerian ministry man down some regulatory Authority so people are saying here that it seems that the priorities of the president is misplaced He's amendment the amendments that he's seeking and regarding the PIA are simply political regarding You know membership of boards and that the team that really has been hurting the people regarding You know what they should get the president has remained silent about that So I want to get your thoughts regarding and the PIA and the amendments Okay, now some people have said his government steps and What the president has done By seeking this so-called amendment Confirmed that notion that his government is truly deaf and is sensitive to the genius of the people I would have thought a listening government says it's an opportunity to take this big Assembly Organize take hold of consultations across the country incorporate all of the objections the concerns of those communities and let the bill be re-debated all over again And of course we said this man has simply is the I mean Left TV and sometimes I get constrained by the words I hear But really this is an assembly. It's the most irresponsible. It's the most irresponsible It is on representative of the wishes of the people Okay, everywhere at this bill that's been discussed people have come out to make To register serious objection if the bill is going back to the Senate I will have a specific decision guys. This is the good opportunity. We have to arise the wrongs of The previous bill these are for saying we have to go back to our constant units and ask them again for their input And how do we factor in this input into this new bill because for me it's like we're starting all over again If it took us over 19 or 20 years to get to this stage then we better get it right It's an opportunity for us to ride around We did say when this day was signed that a lot of loose trends So I Providence the president is taking the pattern assembly from God's face the Senate should not just for past time They are making presents is taking the notion assembly should take his time to incorporate all of the concerns of the communities Because these are not civil laws concerns. This is a very valid and intimate concern that need to look into So I'm happy that we have the will of opportunity to take another look at this day But we should not waste the suppositions because once the window is closed against we end up having a law That the stakeholders or those who are meant to benefit from it. They are not proud of it They are not going to support it and then of the day it will be 20 or 21 years wasted So it's an opportunity that we must maximize to incorporate all of those Amen Suggesting all right now. Let's move to Well, another very very big story that has you know being across the country in the last few weeks And that is the anti-open open grazing bill the governor of Cajunas state Is in the news on the nation this morning says Anti-open grazing error fire tax southern governors saying that the bill is not implement able And whatever it is that they are doing in their state houses of assembly might be a waste of time What are your views on this I Would have loved every fight to tell us what he meant by it is not implementable if properly constituted was to who structures As represented by the House of Assemblies if they deputed according to the Constitution and they have come up with laws that Governors have signed every fact I'm not saying Katuna. I'm telling them that it's not implementable if he states Doesn't want to go in that direction. That's fine And it goes to question the point because of our structuring I do hope you have time to discuss fat also Unless we go back and revealed Constitution we are just talking and clowning around That is the basis of all these arguments. We do not have the country We do we are a loose federation made up of states Jocelyn For economic and political we do not have a country so the Constitution needs to be revisited and if What we help us is for for to go back to return and isn't so be it Definitely what we asked today is not working. It's not working. I Can afford to say what he's saying. He's a man that so much as I've been honest knows there Children make it not every day as if it's done. I see there's no body this And you come up to say what other governors of court in this process like As yourself what they are thinking that I'm trying to put up on is not implementable. I'll be the one that will tell them what is Anybody who has any objections to go to the Supreme Court Steps like that are reckless. Did you know her because of the use of the country? And I think it was just played to the gallery quite frankly Okay, um on the nation newspaper still on the screen as a Tory story on the top left Corner it says MBS reports 20% Nigerians lose jobs to COVID-19 So the United Nations Development Programme UNDP and the National Bureau of Statistics MBS came together To you know release an assessment of the COVID-19 impact on businesses in the year 2020 They discovered that lots of businesses have been shots and they've not been able to open since then and that lots of people have Really gone out of jobs. Basically the way the leadership newspaper put it is that two of ten Employed Nigerians are out of jobs in the year 2020 Mr. Kimola. Yes, you're not in Nigeria, but you follow the news and you understand what it is like for many people here in the country So, how would you say, you know, is your own assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on businesses in the country? Businesses been impacted seriously by COVID-19. Yes, so I was employment. I'm not aware that the federal government will train staff I'm not aware that state governments in print Retrain staff. So we're talking about yes, the ability of the average Nigerian to do this or a business to make money has been impacted 20% I Do not know how they arrive at Africa, but the truth that we cannot shy away from in fact all over the world COVID-19 have slowed down economic recovery in developing countries. What? Even in developing countries, even in the U.S. Government employment. What about private workforce for companies who couldn't continue to pay salaries or continue to thrive? That 20% might fall under under that spectrum It's not impossible The MPF report says that this really wasn't focused on on government, you know, we never mentioned the government It's about private enterprises in Nigeria The report says that it interviewed over 3,000 businesses from both the formal and informal sectors. So that's what the report is saying Okay, so that's headlined by the nation is misleading because when you talk about employment, employment in the district sense of it means Employment That doesn't take away from the fact that COVID-19 has affected a lot of people all over the world and For the U.S. economy, the saving grace has been that the government has been able to come to the rest of the people I think so far there have been about four or five Checks that have been given to families to help them push in the effects. So yes And Yes It doesn't take you away from the fact that businesses in Nigeria Because of any Because of How Okay, all right Was I came well another thing another story in the papers this morning on the daily independent top-right corner It's talking about a 2023 presidency this time by you know, I believe a former friend of the current administration is shagging I say and he says seeding presidency to North dangerous for Nigeria's unity So I want you to quickly respond to that it also says that he labels any of spokesperson Baba Ahmed a northern irredentist They have been you know, a couple of these conversations lately on you know, whether there should be proper zoning a ring bent if a Southerner should be led to you know to you know take over presidents in 2023 Maybe also to the southeast and some of all of that but it's just like it says it is dangerous to seed it to the north once again Yeah, of course, I mean Hold on Why Of the situation is that Everything One of the main business in second to the PI and is that it doesn't make room for further So it means we are since talk with it not as a site device and Professor Saga is just saying the obvious Everybody in the south wants power to come back to the south 80 years of the north is where we are the country. Let's try this out And if they're going to stay where the government has come out If any of the parties in peace a not a candidate the stars will know first The government might as well be a coin popular sentiment On the street of labels And People are saying it's time for So It's safe of disease After 61 years The idea is the entire street, the idea is blazing. Let's look for the best man for the job. Whether it comes from the North or from the South. That is the kind of discussion or conversation that wants us to be having at this point. Consumers have bad things, man. Okay, so if the South says it must be a certain president. And at the end of the day, we can't find someone who says they are going to say, oh, because it's our turn, we have to put someone there. So, but like someone also said, we will find competent people in the South and find competent people. So, taking off from that premise, I can't be partying with the Prime Minister, I'm very transparent, but everybody should be anchoring to be part of the process. Whether you are from the North or from the South, everybody should go in there and let the public candidate be mine. Then the electorals will now be left to do the job. Like I said, there's no difference between the South and the Queen. But at the end of the day, we are forcing for, I mean, there are APC or PDP, they are the same. So, if we are not a candidate of APC, South and United from PDP, it doesn't really matter whether we're voting for the candidate. So, in a lot of sense, maybe we will make a selection for Franklin. Okay, I want you to give us your thoughts regarding this issue on the Senate. The Senate considers life imprisonment for kidnappers and then proposes 30 years jail term for ransom collection.  Do you think this would have any effect in curbing, the menace of kidnapping and insecurity in Nigeria? Or do you think we should just tackle the issue? And on the other hand, beyond passing these views into law, talking about implementation. Well, I would have said, if you kidnap and you're victimizing the process, you should free the family score, okay? Sometimes you need to come up with capital punishment to address the lane-brain problem in society.  If you kidnap and your victim is rescued then go for life imprisonment. I do not think those who pay ransom should punish. Hey, in the failure of the system that people are agreeing to pay ransom, the police will come out and say, oh, no ransom was given, I can't explode. Let that be the end of the rescued, kidnapped, victim, people pay ransom. But of course, you want to keep it as a depressed. So, if you now want to punish those who are paying ransom, then how do you want them to rescue their victims? Because it has come evidently clear that these things cannot save people, kidnapers are on rampage, mercenaries in the same bandit are remembering security personnel that have never had that before, okay? So, it means even the government are helpless. So, if people need to pay ransom to rescue their loved ones, so be it. They should be spared, but the kidnaper and the associate should save the full amount of money. Okay. Right here. All right. I think you can also quickly share your thoughts on the Nigerian government raising $4 billion euro bonds to finance the 2021 budget. Quickly share your views on that one. Yeah, it is. It's on the nation. It's on the state level. One, it's a good development, it's meant for the rest of the city to have confidence in their money. Creatives are going to save people. We don't have to borrow money. I don't have to finance the budget. We have so many things that we have to protect. I don't have to do that. Income has been done. Yeah, we are. And you do not have to collect money. Okay. A lot of things. COVID-19 also has affected government activities to end. So, there's no way government will not borrow. But what we're saying is that when you borrow, spend that money on things that will yield, when I think that we need you to borrow things. Don't borrow to pay political fiscal debts. Don't borrow to fund elections. Don't borrow and frame it away on productive stocks. Borrow to fund infrastructures of government that will lead to revenue generation. There's something wrong with that. It's okay to borrow. It's not like that. You are borrowing in a sensible way. So, it's a good way of paying. Focus on the lack of money. One only goes to this money which will yield. It's not, if you can evade it, that will restrict the monitoring of the projects that you want to use to fund. So, it's a way of going forward as far as I'm concerned. All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Adem Olaik and Olai this morning. I wish we had enough time to actually talk about all the story on the daily independence. That says San Nusi from Miami of Canada is asking Nigeria to stop cursing leaders because of hardship and instead pray for them and have hope. But sadly, we don't have enough time to go into that. Well, thank you very much for coming on the break for this morning. Thank you, Anata. Thank you, sir. Have a good day. I love you. You too, sir. Thank you. So, we're going to show a break here and return for today in history. Stay with us.
