How's it going everybody? Dato Dui here with another Dragon Ball Fighterz video and in today's video we're going to be talking about some new cooler information that is soon to be released in the latest issue of V-Jump. We did get it early of course you know because of leaks so I thought I'd just go ahead and cover it now with a little bit of Cooler's trailer running in the background because there's really no reason to wait for V-Jump if it's not going to reveal anything too crazy and I know I just said that nothing too crazy got revealed but they did announce a release window and I'm surprised we got a release window this early so Cooler is going to be releasing in late September for around five dollars just like all the other DLC characters but what's not listed here is is Android 17 going to come with him? I would assume so I'm pretty sure that's the safe bet to make right now so while it is a safest option to assume that Android 17 will get revealed sometime between now and late September I do want to point out that nothing is confirmed as of yet. Every other piece of information we got from the character has to deal with his special moves so let's go ahead and get right into those. First off we have Deathfall, a nose dive assault that resembles Frieza's Nova Strike in performance. This is of course referring to the move where Cooler you know looks like he's going to power up and then he forms a ball, dives down, obviously like it said here very very much resembles Frieza's move almost a one for one copy. Now whether or not it's going to be one for one in its properties we don't know as of yet but I would assume it's just a straight rip. We also don't know if it's going to be a level one or a level three that is actually not listed here which while not too surprising it would have been something good to know and of course up next we have Death Crusher, a rush attack that swings the opponent into the wall or the ground when it hits. Now this is interesting because I think it means when you're not in the corner it'll just put you in the ground right away but when you are in the corner it does hit the wall and then he puts you in the ground anyway. I don't think the or here actually means that there's a choice between hitting them on the wall or ground. I think it's just a matter of where you are on the screen and then of course for Cooler's level three we have the Atomic Super Nova, a series of consecutive attacks followed by a huge spirit ball. On the ground it is treated as a striking technique and while in the air it is treated as a throwing technique. Now that last line is actually the one that has me the most interested because the first line you know that's there's not too much difference between Cooler's level three on the ground versus Bardock's level three on the ground. I think Cooler does switch sides with his opponent which Bardock doesn't do but that might end up hurting Cooler more than helping him but the fact that it's treated as a throwing technique in the air is going to make it a little harder to do any traditional combos as you know with Bardock you can just do a standard combo and then maybe into a javelin and then into a level three in the air and you get the same knockdown as on the ground. Of course in order for Cooler to do that it is probably going to take some different setups and I'm more interested in how the throwing technique is going to work on width and recovery. I'm more interested in if any setups or mix ups are possible with it or if the move changes properties as all in the air like is it going to be blockable in the air all that stuff really interests me but that's pretty much all we got in this v jump for Dragon Ball Fighters. Obviously we didn't get anything too big but I am really glad they just decided to reveal Cooler as a special little treated Evo because it did make it more exciting. The last thing I do want to talk about in this video though has to do with season two as we know Cooler and whoever comes with him most likely going to be Android 17 are the last two characters in the season pass for Dragon Ball Fighters so we are really getting to the point where they're going to have to announce their future plans for this game whether it be you know season two or Dragon Ball Fighters two we're getting to that point where they're going to have to do something obviously I just think it'd be good business to announce something like that either as soon as the DLC drops or maybe even a little bit before it just so you don't leave people thinking is there going to be more you just want to answer those questions as soon as possible the only reason I bring that up is because one as a person I'm super interested in that and two I just wager that we're probably going to be seeing something on the future of Dragon Ball Fighters and what I think is going to be a short time so I would definitely try to stay tuned with the Dragon Ball Fighters community and see if anything's announced if that's something you want to look out for with that being said that's pretty much all I have to talk about on Cooler today don't want to keep you guys for too long obviously I'm super excited for this character like I know a lot of you guys are go ahead and let me know your thoughts on this new information for Cooler down in the comments below while you're down there if you like these videos and want to see more videos like this one make sure to leave a like and subscribe to the channel I'm Dr. Doya I'll see you in the next video


to where it is because some people want to start planning vacations so they can see to see where we are. If you look at December next year because of leap year Christmas is on a Wednesday this year and next year it will move to Friday and so the proposal on this calendar something you might want to think about whether we'll have those three days and then we'll come back to school on Monday the 4th so it's sort of reversing it. This week we have a week off during the federal Christmas holiday and then we come back halfway through the following week but otherwise the other thing that will definitely be set for next year too is when we have the professional day when we have a major election and next year we'll qualify in that category we agree to not have children come to school because most of the voting takes place in the elementary schools so we already know which day will be our professional development day so those are the key things we definitely know and we will this is the first pass at the calendar it's earlier than we've done it in the past we usually done the first pass in January but we will try to get certainly by the spring time have a better idea of exactly when the early releases will be for the middle school for conferences and all of that but we don't have that yet. So next week we would vote for the vacations and the very first day of school is September 8th. I think so yes. All right. Approval of superintendent's goals. Jane is going to say that we have reviewed them. They've already done their first read of those. I don't think so. I think the only thing that's added is what we're going to be using for evidence which we didn't approve as part of the goal package last year but I think it makes sense to do so for next year. Right, we did do that before you joined two years ago. I have a very short institutional knowledge which I'm fine with. Yes, Mr. Haynor. I just need a little clarification I may be reading this wrong under the superintendent's achievement goal. I'm reading this that basically says what is going to be tested. I'm not doing anything dealing with improving the student. If we identify a student's need does that come under, I didn't see it under evidence so I mean Well, as we talked about earlier the long term multi-year goal is to have all of our students at reading benchmark by the end of third grade. I understand that but it's not what we will use for a measurement on that is MCAS which is what we have been looking at. But as I read this goal here it's dealing with the assessment not with taking any of the data from the assessment and working with it. Am I, I'll stand corrected. Am I reading this wrong or is this how it's presented? What is, I mean how you interpret it is perhaps sure what I'm looking at are what are the things that we are doing in the district. You heard many of them this evening that we're doing to try to move the needle on our proficiency. This last year actually we've been looking at reading for more, this isn't just this year. I'm not questioning that and I did hear that tonight. The only thing I see under the goal is number four under key actions which says all teachers will teach the teachers college non-fiction unit but I don't see any, in the goal itself I don't see anything that's measurable beyond the assessing. I'm reading it wrong. I'll stand correct. No that was, I mean that was discussed by your subcommittee, right? This is what was settled on. I'm not trying to measure the actions. The ultimate measure is what is happening with our proficiency. Just to be clear, the goal is to do the testing. Yes. And assessing. For this year. For this year. Thank you. So do we need an emotional approval? Yes. So I move that we approve the superintendent's goals for FY, for FY 20. And standards of evidence. And stand, yes. Second. Did that include the evidence part? Yes. He just demanded. Standards of evidence, yes. Purpose to discuss it? Sure. Last year's evidence was suggested that not only a log be kept of communication but in general a summation of what transpired. That did not come forward for the evidence when it was presented for the superintendent. Are we not going to have any? I'm just asking again for clarification. We're not going to have any specifics with regard to meetings and things of that nature. So for the individual schools. So she doesn't have the same goal. Okay. For that. So that was under instructional leadership for last year. And so that goal has been changed. So that evidence would no longer be relevant. Thank you. That's a different goal. Yeah. All those in favor? Aye. Yes. Any opposed? No. Any abstentions? All right. The next item was a request from a repeat request from the get who it's from. But it's related to the Jason Russell House and their CPA application. My own view on this is I think probably all of the CPA applications are going to be things that are a lot of them are going to be things that are related to education in town. In this case it is a place that we take our students to field trips and we did vote before to support it. So happy to do it again. But it does sort of set a precedent that you know any other group you know doing a playground, doing a field, doing you know a resource source coming to us for support. I don't know if that's the business we want to get into but this one makes sense. Mr. Hayner. I agree with what you said but at the same time this deals with the history of the community. All right. And it's a direct curriculum aspect so I think it's a little bit more. Okay. And therefore I move that we direct the chair to a letter of support. Thank you. Is there any further discussion? I just have a question. Are we just signing our name to a letter or have we seen the letter? It's the same letter Jeff did two years ago. Just as we support. Okay. So there's nothing in great detail. Okay. That's what I want to know. He hit save as. Karen updated it. It's good idea. Great. All those in favor? Any opposed or abstentions? Great. Thank you. All right. Superintendents report. All right. I have a few things and the first thing I want to start with is the high school building project. Tomorrow we will be sending out a letter. I will be sending a letter to parents in the community as well as we'll have an announcement about where we are on update on the high school project. We've been meeting quite a bit as we look at all aspects of the project in terms to value engineer. What that means is getting the same function but perhaps with a lesser cost. And we've been engaged in that activity pretty much all fall which is definitely a part of the MSBA process. During this time we have had more detail that has been coming on the cost of various parts of the project. And we've just recently had asked the project team which consists of our designers, the architects, our owner's project manager, and then the contractor to look at the cost estimates and to see if they can bring what was a gap between the budget that's been approved by the community of 298 $290.8 million. That is the budget that we are going to work with but as we've gone through this process of actually having more clear design numbers, the estimate has exceeded the budget and so we've been going through the process of having to bring the design and the cost of the project to the budget. And so we're engaged currently in that process but we felt as a building committee that the community should be aware of this. And what are the types of things that we are considering and what is our criteria for how to make those judgments. And of course the first criteria which is number one for sure is the educational program and functionality of the building. That is something that all of this gets filtered through as well as the building quality and then sustainability. One of the goals that we had for this project is net zero meaning that we were able to have a match between the energy generated and the energy used. So these commitments remain in place as we go through this process. And there are some large decisions that we're going to need to make. And one of the other filters of sort of thinking this through is there are some things that you can't change later. You can't add later as you get bids in and so those could be the things that we choose to do later and so in order to bring the budget completely in line with the design. And so one of the things is just the number of geothermal wells we would have. The commitment is still to an all electric building so that we are not fossil using fossil fuels as we go forward. And you know what would be we've looked at a deep analysis of what would be the fact of reducing the number of geothermal to another number. So that's something that the building committee is thinking about. There are other major considerations as well. One might be other large items might be lighting in an artificial turf of the athletic fields. This is something that you can decide on later. But there's a lot of discussion that's going on about that in terms of the program. The bike path connection that we've talked about again that could be added later. The one that is a large item which is the ramp on the east side of the building which is the CDS side. That would have to be that's a big problem now because that's not something that can be added later. It has to be a phase one decision. But there are other issues as well that we're going through and balancing off. We went through a very long, two long meetings this week doing a real look at each one of these items. And next Tuesday we're meeting to again look at how we're going to come to consensus. If not consensus at least majority on what we will have to reduce or wait until later to get the design and costs in line with the budget. And the thing that's really important to know is everybody's taking very seriously and very committed to making sure that we have an excellent facility that meets all of our programmatic needs. And we want to make sure that we remain a carbon neutral building going forward. So these are really tough decisions. And we wanted people to know about this and not know about it after the fact. And our meeting is again next Tuesday and possibly also next Wednesday. We've been meeting a lot. There's been a lot of subcommittee meetings with our architects and contractor to really understand the impact of any decision. So I think I pretty much got the full picture but you might want to add a few other things because Dr. Allison Ampe is on it. And of course Mr. Thielman shares the committee. I just wanted to clarify that as we discuss the reducing the number of geothermal wells part of the reason that that is under strong consideration is that we are finding that we're able to meet the same sustainability goals even with the reduced number of geothermal wells through alternate it's called VFR and I can't tell you what the mnemonic stands for but the point is that we are able to still meet our goals. No I just think it's important for people to know that committees work really hard. Put in a lot of time, a lot of hours, a lot of meetings, a lot of subcommittee meetings and I think we've come to a very good place Tuesday and possibly Wednesday night. We have the final couple of decisions to make and we'll take votes and we'll see where they go. This is a process that will continue through the whole project actually. We're hoping that we are very successful in our bidding process and that we have some positives that come to make some costs not so expensive and we don't know what that will be until we actually get our first package out. Which some of it will be actually out probably in January or February because we're going to be beginning the work for pre-construction starting after February vacation. Actually probably during it. Some bids are going out some bids will be going out. We have to get, we have to decide. So yeah I mean even though we're still staying on our timeline for construction that hasn't changed. We looked at a lot of different options including trying to collapse some of the phases that was hard to do. We're in an environment where prices go up but I mean look at other projects around the state because I work a little bit in different places for my day job and I meet other people involved in building projects. It's not unusual for a building project this size to be in this situation. We have to make a reduction. I was talking to a school committee member in Brookline. They're dealing with this that when you get these really big projects that are really complicated and there's this very complicated all for another reason. 10% change. Just from the last six months in terms of there's fewer subcontractors that can do projects this big and this complex. So it's a market demand and there are more projects coming online. Belmont's already out bidding. Waltham will be behind us. So there are quite a few. There's only so many subcontractors to go around for these really big projects. And we're learning a lot like you know Kathy, Michael, Chris and I know all about chill beams. And Mike is on this too. Yeah I mean you know who knows. We could come up at a cocktail party and we'd fit right in. Yeah we are learning a lot. That is very true. Very true. But anyway it's important for all of you to know and some of you have been attending the meetings which is terrific and I think you can see the very thoughtful discussions that are going on about all this. I'll say that you know what the design team has said and maybe they say this to all their customers I don't know but they've said that we have a very you know our meetings are not big battles with chairs being thrown and people yelling and they've seen that in other districts. Number one number two there are people on the board who have a lot of expertise and we have people who John Cole ran a big architectural firm in the region you know lots of people have a lot of expertise in this field. So Ryan Kotowski can run circles around anybody when it comes to HVAC stuff. Kate Lucian has a background right. She does this sort of work all day long. Frank Callahan is in the building trades and really has some unbelievably good questions right. It's a smart group of people so they are impressed. And thank you for your leadership on it. You really get us through all this. Well they put the guy with the least amount of intelligence in the chair role though it is at least amount of knowledge of all this. I also wanted we're going to send this out very soon to save the date and I want to thank AEF for making this possible. We're going to have a learning summit for parents, families and the community on basically what our SEL program is like in our schools and it's going to be on Saturday, May 2nd and we will send that date out just to keep reminding people about that. And then the last thing is about snow. I sent the letter out but you know the forecast is we're going to have some really pretence very snowy days and I just want people to understand the kind of thinking that goes into this and when it starts. It starts very early in the morning. Our director of transportation is driving around Arlington at 3 in the morning and our head custodian is as well and we're in communication and with DPW. They're talking to DPW. So it's a very team approach to this and the thing that's at the heart of it is safety. On the other hand, we're not on the other hand. But we also live in a very we're living in a winter and New England is winter and so when do you make that decision that it's not going to be safe for students and staff and that last Tuesday was an example that we became very clear not initially but later in the evening that the duration was going to go longer than we thought and it even went longer than we thought. So, but at the same time parents need to make a decision themselves. We look at Arlington, the same thing for staff. We have to look at bases what's going on at Arlington. Now it's not outside of Arlington as much in terms of whether we have the walkways cleared and it's treated and parking lots are the roads clear. Not every curb cuts going to be clear. These things may not happen but just want everybody to know that it's very it's a very stressful decision I must say. But if they think that they're it's not safe for their child to travel to school then they just need to let the school know this and we understand. That's it. Great. Thank you. Consent agenda. All items listed below are considered to be routine and will be enacted by one motion. There'll be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the committee so requests in which event the item will be considered in its normal sequence approval of warrant warrant number 2-0-0-9-1 dated 11-19-2019 total amount 1534464.82 warrant number 2-0-1-0-5 dated 11-26-2019 total amount 476195.81 approval of minutes school committee minutes 11-14-2019 approval of trips OMS drama club New York City trip May 16th 2020 so we're holding on the minutes. Motion for the rest. So moved. All those in favor. All right. Any attentions or no's okay. Unanimous and then the minutes. Was there any discussion or are you just there? I just I need to stay in that so motion on the minutes actually. So moved. Second. Any discussion? All those in favor. Yes. One abstention. All right. Thank you. Policy. Mr. Schuchman. Hey, we're we're at policies. It's a beautiful time. We had a meeting the Monday before Thanksgiving to mop up some things we were discussing previously the second read is the second read moving our number from 20 down to 19 meetings will have to schedule and we once we get the new calendar adopted we can sort of look to pencil in our 19 days. Yep. Now going to BEDB agenda format prep first reading. We're getting rid of the bulletin boards of the school and posting our agenda online. There's a provision that use the word citizens in terms of being able to suggest business to the school committee which is unduly restricted because there are a lot of very good people involved in the community who are not United States citizens and want to maintain their ability to talk with us. There's a paragraph we're adding that's emphasizing that this is the only place where we can talk to each other in a deliberative format and in order to facilitate deliberations in discussions where we are being talked at reports and presentations that are directed at us where we're sitting and listening and not interacting. She'll not exceed 15 minutes unless the rules are suspended by a two-thirds vote of the members present. Witten reports may be received by a vote of the committee in fact that's a good thing for us to do for homework so we know what's going on as the meeting starts and entered into the record of the meeting and we expect that they would not be read to us. And that we're stating that look we're K-12 education, we're one of the best school systems in the state and in the nation. We're constantly ranking high and it would be our expectation of presentations would be consistent with the high standards that we have for teaching and learning throughout the district. There's another paragraph we are adding. All published agendas shall contain the following language pertaining to accessibility for people with disabilities. This is strongly advised by the Attorney General and correcting the word public participation to public comment in the references. Mr. Chairman, it's your meeting. Let's go through the presentation of the different policies first. Okay. Now we're going to move on to the committee. Again, for the most part, we're just bringing this into conformance with open meeting law regarding the accessibility. Adjourned meetings were called for in the policy. They are not permitted per se under the open meeting law. If we have what we once considered to be an adjourned meeting with a 48-hour advance notice and so we've adjusted the policy for that. And on KF-E fee structure for rental school building space we're essentially just cleaning up the group four to move the parentheses where it would belong and then deleting the paragraph the schedule of refundable damage deposits, the energy charges and applications of rental will be reviewed by the business office by March 15th of each year and approved by the school committee. We are looking to delete that paragraph. So that is what we're bringing before you at this point. Okay, Mr. Anner. On BETB, the first bullet I think either something has to be put in there with regard to emergency because on the 48, you can't change a gender except for emergencies. No, what you're seeing is that I hear what you're saying. Obviously state law trumps or takes priority over what we're writing the policies. Some way to just slipping the word with regard to emergencies would still be appropriate. The agenda is posted with a disclaimer regarding emergencies that the agenda is tended. In emergency the chair can always add anything right up to the last minute, right during the middle of a meeting if something happens. I leave it to the chair. I mean I don't want to get into making edits on the fly. That's the only thing. It's a good thought and good suggestion. If you come up with a sentence you'd like to substitute it's second reading. That would certainly be something I think is more than appropriate. Thank you. Any other comment? I'm also commenting on BETB. I want to register my disagreement with the 15 minute rule. I feel that it's the wrong I understand the thought behind it which is to create a higher level of reports that don't go beyond a certain amount. I think a set time limit is restrictive and to have it be able to be waived by a rule suspended I mean only have it be able to be waived by a two-thirds vote of members present means that the chair can't just say okay I think it's okay to do this. When I brought this up before it was like the response that I got was that well I think the chair will probably go along with the chair but the thing is people have to know how much time they're going to have to present. I also think that this is putting into policy something that I think is more appropriate as direction for the superintendent with feedback going directly to her whoever the superintendent is at this point and ultimate feedback as part of the evaluation process. So I voted against the BEDB as presented here and we'll vote against it again if it's brought this way to us next week. My view, my take on this was also similar there may be some items that we know in advance are going to take 20, 25 minutes as the chair putting the agenda together I want the presenters to be able to know if they're going to have 20 or 25 minutes and not be subject to a vote as to whether they're going to have it or not. So I would be willing to have a 15 minute guideline unless the chair decides otherwise type of language but I wouldn't be able to support it this way either. There a further comment? Mr. Thielman? I agree with Kersey. I think the chair should be given the direction for discretion. We have a 10 o'clock rule that limits what we can do here anyway and people get tired after about 9 so I think it's just good judgment on the part of the chair. I want to take Paul's point which is we're here delivering thoughts. So I don't disagree with the point but I think it's too descriptive and then it becomes it has a danger in a future committee and past committee I think it would happen it would get very political in a hurry. You might not get a 2 thirds vote to let somebody talk longer. First of all the intent is that we're not being talked at. The agenda item can go 15, 30, 45, 60, 2 weeks, whatever it is but that the person who's starting and sitting at the table over there isn't going to be talking at us for more than 15 minutes unless there is a vote to waive the rule. Now town meeting operates that way with a 7 minute rule and the result has been tighter, more focused presentations and when you have an unlimited amount of time presentations can just go much longer and be unfocused. The discipline of having to come in within a prescribed time limit will require people to be more thoughtful about what they're bringing to us to be placing stuff that is best off read by us in a written format to make power points a summary that we're talking off of and then bringing us to a point where we can be interactive. That's the intent here and because we end up being a captive audience we've sat here for an hour on certain presentations where you take a look around the room and folks here are disengaged and that's not a good thing for anybody because you'll have somebody talking at us and we're not really listening and for the folks who are watching on television the point is if we're looking to convey information to the folks of Arlington we need to do it in the best manner we can and a tight disciplined presentation unless the topic is complicated enough that we recognize that we want somebody to talk to us for more than 15 minutes is an important thing. I just think that we need to take a little more control over our meetings and to raise the standards for what comes before us. So I think the key half sentence here is unless the rule is suspended by two-thirds vote the member is present and that that could potentially change to unless prior approval of the chair and get at your concern would not get it all of your concerns but it might be something that would have a broader support. I don't know if that's a friendly amendment or or it could be worded like a two-thirds vote or by prior arrangement of the chair. So if the chair says we're giving you 20 minutes and it's on the agenda I sort of do agree with the sort of thinking that that the chair should be involved in this decision that a presenter should know beforehand whether he or she is going to have 15 minutes or 20 minutes or whatever it is. So you know it's that's something I could easily support just unless prior approval by the chair. I would take out the two-thirds. I think that's what I could support. Take out one. Well hold on. That's just a suggestion I'm not I don't know if I should make a. When we all think about it and come up with something for second read that we might land on. Dr. Alice Namping. I just I realize I forgot one other point that I was going to make which is also I also wonder how the chair would effectively do how this rule would work in practice. You know so we've got to have a timer and then there are 15 minutes times up and they're clearly several slides later. Do you like be but you know it's I just don't see this working in a way I mean as it's written as a policy I don't see this working in a way as is in our benefit or in the student's benefit. I think it is more it would be better directed to the superintendent. If you have 17 slides remaining after 15 minutes in which you were talking solo you do not have a well rehearsed presentation. Ms. Morgan did you have your hand up? I think that the I would I would support this as is. I do think the challenge of the exceeding 15 minutes and the suspension of the two-thirds vote is challenging in practice to some extent at the same time I have there's been I could count on one hand in the 18 months I've been here presentations that I think warranted much more of the of the presentation part warranted much more than 15 minutes for the level of detail that we need that we can absorb and I would be really grateful for more of an executive approach to some of the presentations that we've gotten so I would support this as written but I recognize that it has some it could have some practical if somebody wanted 20 minutes and not 15 minutes it would be hard to practically give them those five minutes until we got here so you know I would also support it being at the discretion of the next of the Mr. Heiner I think setting up the agenda the way has been done I look at the time set on some of 15 minutes some of 20 minutes some of 30 minutes I respect that the only problem is the 20-minute one tonight went an hour and different things not for not a lot of it we own because we were asking questions and things of that nature so the 15 minutes may belong to them not us the other part with regard to doing it town meeting has that nice big clock up front and the speaker gets to know exactly how much he or she has and you'll see a lot of people they're going strong and all of a sudden they wind it up I would agree with what Ms. Morgan said majority of them could stay within that time and if they need more I think the chair should be discretionary to the chair but by putting it in there I would not asking us for a vote I don't want to get tied up into the minutiae of like Congress is going right now asking for different votes and stuff it's crazy. Alright so I think you have the necessary feedback on that is there any other policies that people want to comment on? Are you directing us to suspend like Jerry Nadler is doing the gentle lady shall suspend motion to strike the last word so we need a motion to approve policy BEA move. Second. Any further discussion? All those in favor? Yes. Any opposed or abstentions? Alright. Subcommittee and liaison reports. Budget. Budget will be meeting. Great. Policy the procedures to agree. Any further? The minutes from that last meeting are in the end of it so that anyone wants to go and look at how we discuss this and what happened to some of the other things that were brewing it's all sitting there. Great. CIAA. Nothing to report but I understand that we have some things that we need are going to be charged with. Yes so just today I emailed Jane requesting that the CIAA committee take on working with the administration on working on a schedule and process and the draft of the new plan that we have to submit under Student Opportunity Act which is due April 1st. So in Novus is the part of the new law that describes the plan relatively vague but there's a requirement. That's a requirement. There's a CPAC about it. There's a requirement too. We don't have an ELL CPAC right? We don't have an ELL parent advisory committee. So it's not quite clear exactly how much further guidance the state is going to give on it for the first round of the plan but CIAA seems like the right place for that. Yeah. Alright. Facilities. Oh community relations. Sorry. We need something in January but to talk about the Rainbow Coalition appointment continue talking about after school and calendar issues. So we'll try to schedule that in January. Okay. Just a point on that. Dr. Seuss put out a request for opinions from other districts in the MASC email list and I recommend you take a look at the calendar from Newton because I just thought the design of that was really nice. Oh I agree actually. I like the Newton calendar. That was one of my favorites. That was nice. I have a short stack of the ones I like and Newton's number one. Alright. Facilities. I met with the bracket PTO this past week discussing what has been done and what is going on and what will be done with regard to facilities. I've met with the Hardy and the Pierce PTOs as well. I would like to commend Jim Feeney, the Facilities Director, and Michael Mason for the help in preparing these presentations and their responses back to any of the questions that the parents have asked. It's been received very positively. The next meeting will be on January 28th at the Dow and PTO at 7 p.m. Thank you. Can I? So I'm the other silent member of the Facilities Committee and I haven't been able to attend the meeting because but I am on all the emails and I just want to say that what Bill has come up with is working really nicely. It is doing everything he was hoping for and more. I think it's really giving the parents a sense that things are actually happening in the schools and that there is concern about the building and things like that. He deserves the kudos for them. It's not complementary things. It's kind of just the way things are put. They've been very receptive. Initially they come off, they're surprised there, but once we had the discussion and finding out who's connected to whom, it just hit me. I thought the bracket school was brand new. It's now 20 years old. I'm just getting old. I don't want to accept it. Who to communicate with and who to talk with. My job is just PR. I didn't make no decisions and I promise nothing. Right, Mike? I remember standing up there watching and demolishing the old school. Legal services, nothing. Building committee we've covered. Calendar committee. There's going to be a meeting on 18th and I mentioned this before. I'd like to put on the agenda for next time to get this committee's thoughts just to hear our thoughts. We won't, I don't expect any recommendation or anything at that point. The calendar committee is an advisory committee to the administration. So my thought would be we would wait for a recommendation from the administration. I'm just curious. I haven't actually heard from everyone until I think part of the information gathering. It might be helpful to hear this committee's thoughts. I agree that I mean, I don't, I think that we should talk it out a little here so that, you know, not only does this advisory committee present data, having a sense of what the domain is, is that where the recommendation will be going is important. So I would certainly be happy to give my opinion on the calendar process for a minute or two within the context of a properly posted meeting. Yeah, I mean, I think it's the framing of the issue that's still missing to me. I mean, so the meeting yesterday was about only about religious holidays. There was nothing about this issue with going too late in June. So are you looking for input only on religious holidays and what holidays we should add or subtract? So this year the only discussion on the table are the religious holidays and then the look of the calendar. This year nothing is being discussed about before Labor Day. I would just counsel that if any of us send it to you, you don't respond. She's looking to have a discussion. Yeah, another way we could do this is that we could ask school committee members to send something to the calendar committee. It's all going to be looked at. We have a bunch of letters to go through. That could be another way to get through that. We have to have a conversation here. The committee got elected. We have to talk about it. I think putting, having a discussion now during subcommittee reports without posting on the agenda is not a good point. Whether to have an agenda item. I think you have an agenda item. You have a discussion on religious holidays. It's just a preliminary. We're still gathering information. Since you're the decision makers on this, I wonder about the timing of it. I totally think you have to have a discussion of it. The question is whether it's now or a little bit later. So the later would be after we after the recommendation. I think it should be. I feel like we should let the committee do its job. Personally, I'm interested in the committee finishing its work and then talking. I wasn't there last time my wife was. I got some insights. I don't know how to. That's my own opinion. The majority of the committee want to talk about waiting for the calendar committee. Then that's what we do. I would feel more comfortable in the calendar committee knowing the opinions of the people who might vote on it. Because I wouldn't want to bring forth proposal thinking that life is good where you're not going to get to four votes. We'll talk about it. You've gathered a lot of information. It just needs to be a posted item. I think the chair frames it by saying we're not going to think about it tonight or if someone makes a motion and it passes, it passes. I don't know. I don't think your motion would be. I don't think in that context the motion would pass. There will not be an item that will allow a vote on the calendar change. I think you need to be specific about that. We're meeting next week. There's going to be a warrant article to extend this committee. There's a feeling we can't get everything done in a year. Superintendent search process. We had to postpone the meeting of the fourth. What's the date? Take today's date and add seven. Thank you. Please on reports. I wish to commend the staff and students. The high school interact, do something club under the supervision of my deed work to collect such as bathroom supplies, socks and all of which were packaged together into 80 personal care packages. On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Mike Sandler, a teacher and several of the students who had worked on the packages went to the Salvation Army in Cambridge to serve a warm meal. The students also distributed all the care packages. Great. Thank you. Any other? Right after the policies and procedures meeting last couple of weeks ago now, we all wandered off to the AEF fundraiser which presented a whole bunch of really great projects that our teachers were behind. A lot of great things happening for very small money. If people are looking to make a donation that gets a lot of mileage, AEF is a good place. Any other future agenda items? I'd love to see a agenda item on inclusion practices that we're doing. I know things are different this year. There's a lot of new initiatives that are inclusive. We've got these co-taught classrooms. I'd love to hear more about it. Do we have an executive session? No. Motion to adjourn. All those in favor? Yes. Opposed or abstentions? Great. We are adjourned.


two of last season's playoffs semifinalists have found themselves way off the pace this year, and though there's a mathematical possibility Bradford could still make the top seven, there's no serious expectation of it. Both Carl Robinson and Graham Alexander have rebuilding to do. Alexander was once one of the key components of Salford's rise, the boss who led them into the EFL. This is the Bradford manager's first trip back to the peninsula since leaving the club in 2020. The hosts with Colin McElhaney, captain of the side for the first time, Matt Smith. Also back in the starting eleven, where Bradford's form has picked up a little bit, seven points from their last three games after a run of four straight defeats that put them out of the playoff running. Looking to win the season on a high, that's right. It's the ball into the middle and Kavana clips the post. Well, Salford on the back foot early here. Right's ball in. Kavana meeting it near post and almost converting. Carl Robinson saying Salford have a big, big summer ahead of them. Trying to make changes to the way that they play before the end of this season. That's led to, he says, a bit of a dip in results. Coming forward now. Chesters. Nice ball in. Chance opening goal. Callum Hendry with it. He had time to pick his spots and put Salford City ahead free right by the penalty spots and makes no mistake. Salford number nine with goal number eight for him this season. It's Walker. Bradford looked for a response. Right. Looking to take on Chesters. He's taken away from goal. He'll still be swung in. Smallwood picking up the loose ball. There you go, OK. Back towards Smallwood. Nicely and it's Cook. And that is a brilliantly timed block from Curtis Tilt. Cook looked for all the world like he was going to find the equaliser here. Tilt there in the nick of time. Smallwood carrying it to halfway. 24 in the move. Right once again looking to do some damage down this left-hand side. Smallwood. Need to turn away from his man. Getting the shot away. And it's deflected behind the corner. Decent delivery. Smith there with the header. He is right. Walking out. Stands up the cross. There you go. He's in there. Still not away. Platt trying to get something on it. Eventually, Salford clear their lines. Well, Salford unconvincing at the back here, but doing just enough to prevent a Bradford City equaliser. Bradford unbeaten in their last four league meetings with Salford, but still a goal behind. Right-hand side. Chance for a cross here. Cook! Wide of the post. And Bradford's top scorer unable to add to his tally of 17 for the season. Really good chance that. The positive for Bradford City is Salford haven't kept a clean sheet for three months. 1-0 win at Crawley. And what was Carl Robinson's second game in charge? Challenge there. And the referee decided to bring this back. Watson bringing down Walker. Smallwood's delivery. Heading across and in. Colliser right on the stroke of half-time. The set-piece routine works the treat for Bradford City. Pretty simple goal in the end. Smallwood's delivery. Platt with the header back across goal. And Kavana adding the finishing touch. Alexander recently saying that the Bradford players are playing and auditioning for their futures at the club as Tilt coming back towards his own goalkeeper. Goodness me! Big chance! And Cairns recovers to deny Kavana. Well, this all went very nearly badly wrong for Salford. It's helped with an awkward ball back. Cairns' clearance. He recovers and saves Salford. Not for the first time this afternoon. It's been told to calm down by the referee. Bradford getting on with this. The short header is clear, but it's running to clear their own lines here. Pointed. It's a good run. It's a good shot. Cairns with the save. Oh, Tilt's off the line. And pulls it past the post. Well, Bradford must be wondering how they're not ahead. Pointed with the first effort. Kavana with the second. Tilt on the line there, positioning himself perfectly. And then as it comes to cut with Salford's slicing clearances. You can't find the net. It just wasn't there. Smallwood able to carry it into the centre circle, gets it back again. And that's a nice ball on the cross. Well, once again, Salford haven't cleared it. Clarkeador going for goal. Takes it on! And it went five to go. Bradford sitting ahead. Winner against Gilliam last week, Halliday. Has he just won it here? It's another case of Salford dallying at the back. Clarkeador with the first effort charged down. But all the bodies had gone towards the door and no one could get towards Halliday. Been to stoppage time now.  Flicked on. And a chance, and it's Morton. There are claims from the fans that maybe there should be a penalty there, but Walker's gathered the ball. And has he just sealed the points? It's the full-time whistle. Three points that Bradford will feel are richly deserved. It took until Brad Halliday striked five minutes from time for Graham Alexander's side to win it. But he'll wonder why they didn't win it more comfortably. An excellent comeback after Callum Hendry giving Salford the lead. Callum Cavanaugh's equaliser coming just before the break. And chances following in the second half until Halliday strike gave Bradford a third win in four. He wins on his return to Salford.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discuss the following question which says find the nth term, sum of nth terms and sum to infinity of the series 1 upon 1 into 2 plus 1 upon 2 into 3 plus 1 upon 3 into 4 plus and so on. Let's now move on to the solution. Now the given series is 1 upon 1 into 2 plus 1 upon 2 into 3 plus 1 upon 3 into 4 plus and so on. And we are supposed to find the nth term, sum of the n terms and sum to infinity of this given series. Now the nth term of the series is given by Tn and this would be equal to 1 upon nth term of 1, 2, 3 and so on. This into nth term of 2, 3, 4 and so on. Now the nth term of 1, 2, 3 and so on would be n and nth term of 2, 3, 4 and so on would be n plus 1. So here we have Tn is equal to 1 upon n into n plus 1 the whole. Or we can write this numerator 1 as n plus 1 minus n and this whole upon n into n plus 1 the whole. So this is equal to n plus 1 upon n into n plus 1 the whole minus n upon n into n plus 1 the whole. This n plus 1, n plus 1 cancels n and n cancels and so this is equal to 1 upon n minus 1 upon n plus 1. This is the nth term of the given series. Now next putting n equal to 1, 2, 3 and so on up to n we get T1 is equal to 1 minus 1 upon 1 plus 1 which is 2 then T2 is equal to 1 upon 2 minus 1 upon 2 plus 1 which is 3 then T3 is equal to 1 upon 3 minus 1 upon 3 plus 1 which is 4 and so on up to Tn which is equal to 1 upon n minus 1 upon n plus 1. Now to find the sum of n terms of the given series which would be given by Sn and this would be equal to sum of these terms of the series that is T1 plus T2 plus T3 plus and so on up to Tn.  Now all these terms would get cancelled we are left with 1 minus 1 upon n plus 1 that is Sn which is the sum of the n terms of the series is equal to 1 minus 1 upon n plus 1 or this is equal to n plus 1 minus 1 upon n plus 1 1 minus 1 cancels and this is equal to n upon n plus 1 or you can say that Sn is equal to 1 upon 1 plus 1 upon n so this is the sum of the n terms of the series now sum to infinity of the series would be equal to S infinity and this is equal to limit n tends to infinity Sn or you can say limit n tends to infinity 1 upon 1 plus 1 upon n now we know that as n tends to infinity 1 upon n tends to 0 therefore S infinity is equal to 1 upon 1 plus 0 which is equal to 1 that is S infinity is equal to 1 and this is the sum to infinity of the series. So finally we have the l h term of the series is equal to 1 upon n minus 1 upon n plus 1 then sum to n terms of the series that is Sn is equal to 1 upon 1 plus 1 upon n so this is 1 upon 1 plus 1 upon n and sum to infinity of the series that is S infinity is equal to 1 so this is the final answer of the question so this completes the session hope you have understood the solution of this question.


Hi there, it's Sandy Alnok and welcome to my YouTube channel where I'm going to be coloring a sweet shop in colored pencils. I feel like I've done a lot of kitchens and people baking things because I like baked things. And this stamp set is especially wonderful from MFT. It's by Stacy Yakula and it has this whole scene in one stamp. So you don't have to stamp all the little stuff on the table and the mice separately and mask things out and put all the cupcakes and everything. It's just all in one which is nice. And I stamped this in a gray ink so that I could do some really... I wanted to make some simple coloring on this and I shouldn't say simple. I mean simple colorway. I wanted to make a scene that was mostly black and white and then add some pops of color. So I started by working on the mice first just to establish what my midtones will be and a little bit of my pops of dark. I wasn't sure whether these would be the darkest element but the thought I had for this was to have them in a kitchen in front of a huge window with just massive amounts, giant amounts of sunshine pouring in. So that means everything is going to be light and bright. It's not going to be heavy and dark which when you're doing color pencils is a nice thing because it takes a long time and a lot of work to do. A lot of filling in of a lot of that color and to make things really dark. So each one of these has their shading on the opposite side. You may notice that one on the left has the shading on the left. The one there right has the shading on the right because the window is going to be in the middle. And the rest of the items I'm not going to worry about the light on each one of them because they're mostly like straight on with the light behind them. So that's going to be a real easy thing. So I'm starting now first on the wall behind them. It's going to have a sink on it. That's a little towel hanging over the edge of the sink. And I wanted that to be just a big graphical shape behind them because I wanted to see what to do with the table. I wasn't sure if I wanted a white table or a gray table or exactly what that was going to look like. And until I got the background in I wouldn't really know that. And once I got it in it looked pretty nice. I'm using a lighter gray for the shadow on the ground. There's a little shadow cast by the counter that strip across and then each one of the legs I'm throwing a little bit of shadow as if the light is hitting the floor underneath of the table. And then this little mouse needs something to stand on. It's not showing in the picture but I drew just a few little lines to indicate that he might have a little stool he's standing on. Or I should say she. I think they're girls. Maybe they're guys. I have no idea. And then I'll add some shadows under this other mouse and sort of make a little tail hanging off so you get the idea that that's the shadow of that. For the counter it's really easy to just make it look like a counter by adding some handles on the cabinets and a kickboard underneath that'll be a little bit darker. And that starts to set the scene. Now we've got the the color of the cabinets themselves. Even if they're white cabinets if there's bright light coming from behind them they're going to be a grayish color. That establishes all of my mid-tones so the table I'm going to add my darks in it. But to start that off I'm going to put the mid-tones in first on the forward side of the table the side that's facing the viewer because that one is far away from the window so the light is coming from the other side. And I'm starting with a warm gray instead of a cool gray that's on the cabinets so I get a little difference between them. But I want this to all feel like it's a super white kitchen just has lots of shadows because of the way the light's coming in. So I'm adding a little more dark in there with a darker warm gray pencil so that I can have all that detail back that I lost when I started coloring all that color that was close to the same color as the stamping. And then I'll add in some darks in the overall shadows so that that pulls the table forward from where the cabinet is behind it and just starts building up different layers of dimension across the whole picture. And putting nice dark shadows on these legs is going to make them stand out and come forward. But I wouldn't have known how dark to make them if I had done the table first. That's why I did the cabinet first just to see what I have to do to make that show up against it. And I think it's looking pretty good so far. I still have all that work on the table to go but I want to get the window in there next just to make sure that I establish all of that and know how intense to go with the pops of color that I'm going to add. So now I've got a light color. I'm using the same color that I used for the shadows on the ground. And I'm going to put sort of a kickboard that's going to be across there and then it's going to turn into a wall going up the sides and with one single window crossbar on it so that I can keep that really simple and fresh. I'm even letting the edges of the window be soft. I'm not making them really really crisp because when the light comes in it's often going to be sort of fuzzy and muted around there. And I was also thinking I might want to put some curtains in there so I left it deliberately not defined right now because that gives me the ability to decide later what I want to do with it. So now I took a fun pomegranate pencil and started adding some pops of color. And this is where my whole idea for this came from. I just wanted these these pops of something bright and strong in the midst of this really simple soft scene with all of these grays in it. Lots of neutral colors bouncing back and forth between warms and cools and then all of a sudden you get these like really shock pink red colors in the middle of it and I thought that would be a really fun combination to try for my card. A lot of the little stuff on the table I'm not necessarily even going to do much with. I didn't want to add a whole ton of colors on here. I wanted to keep it really simple so I'm going to add a little bit of browns for the cupcakes themselves and there's a little bowl of cherries over here so I'll add a little bit of that. I'm going to make the little flower jar or the flower jar. The flower bag there have some color in it but I didn't want to add a whole ton of different colors for all these other items. I wanted to keep that simple. I put a little stripe on my towel hanging over the edge of the sink and don't worry the sink is still coming. I add things in lots and lots of layers as I go so I wanted to figure out how this table was going to look before moving on to some of the other things. So there's me adding the little bit of brown for the cupcakes and trying to figure out whether or not I really wanted to add any more of that or not and opted for a little bit of pink like I'd had on their cheeks since that wouldn't be adding a new color and then shadows on the forward side of each one of these objects because the light is coming from that bright window behind them and it just sort of made me think about doing the baking on a bright Saturday morning when I was a kid you know just when you're just in the kitchen making cupcakes and having a good time so that was sort of the mood I wanted to capture and of course since it's a sink it has to have just some kind of spigot and little handles for it that's enough to communicate it without having to draw something fancy just having that little arc but it was a little too bright so I took a kneaded eraser and just pressed it onto it to lighten that color up because it was grabbing too much attention and then I did decide to add curtains and I wanted sheer curtains so I just went in with the pink color and even went over a part of the wall so you can see that they're transparent right over over top of that and you can see a little bit of that crossbar on the window through them and that'll make them look like they're sheer curtains and I did decide to add a little detail to them because why not there's not a whole lot of detail on this picture as much as it might feel like there is there's a lot of coloring going on but aside from the stuff on the table there was really not a whole lot in the scene so it could it could handle adding some detail to the curtains themselves so we've got our little sheer curtains isn't that cute this is such a fun stamp set and I'm so into sweets and food and stuff that this was just the perfect little thing for me to color I was in just the right mood to create this sweet little scene so I hope you enjoyed this if you did click the like button you can go pin the pictures over on my blog if you want to leave a comment and let me know what you think maybe what your favorite sweets are and I will see you again later on links for the supplies are in the doobly-doo as well as on the blog and I'll see you next time I put a video up which you know is going to be pretty darn soon take care bye bye


Well, hello everybody and welcome back to my channel. Today's Financial Friday is gonna be talking about your closet, you see? Today is actually just a lazy Sunday for me. I obviously pre-film these because I have a like normal job and then I do this on the side, but I wanted to show you guys. I was actually just gonna clean out my closet myself, and I was like wait a minute. I have a plan for what I'm gonna do with this stuff, so I might as well just share with you guys. My actual plan for what I'm gonna do is I have places in my area like Plato's Closet and Closementor. I will leave those links down below for you guys. I am not sure in your area what you have, but it's basically just a brand name clothing retailer that will buy back, used, or sometimes even new items with the tag still on it. So if I haven't totally beat it up, they might take it. It has to be like in season. There's a bunch of other different parameters, but I figured I would show you how I clean out my closet. If you guys have been watching me for a little while, you will know back in July, I actually moved into this home. And I have accumulated some things since then, clothing-wise, and I found some things that I didn't even realize I had. So that happens in the process of unpacking, I feel like. So the reason I knew I was running low is because I was not running low. The reason I knew I was gaining a lot more things is because I was running out of hangers, and I make a rule for myself to never buy any new hangers ever. Because then I know I have way too much stuff, and I'm kind of at that cap right now. So it's time to purge the closet, see if there's any fun things that I can find that I don't need anymore. I also have two big ol' container store bags. I've got one inside of here as well for discards. I'm also making a little pile for my mom as well, because there might be some items that she really would like. So I figured I would give her first crack at it, and then if she didn't want them, then I would take them to the buy-back place. So without further ado, let me take you off the tripod, let me show you around. And I'll show you the before's, and then I'll put this guy back on the tripod and just speed up the footage because people tend to like that stuff. So big financial tip for the day, don't buy new hangers.  Also, if for any reason the place does not take the items that I'm going to give them, I will actually donate them to like a Goodwill Salvation Army wherever is close. Usually there's like a donation box somewhere close to these places. So anyway, let me take you off the tripod, let me show you around. Okay, so here is my closet. I know if you guys have watched the vlogs, you would have remembered this. On the left-hand side, I'm not really going to do much with the stuff over here. Mainly I'm going to be focusing on this rack right here, as well as this rack and this rack. And really what I want to do is these are all my tops for the most part. I want to put them up there. And those things that are just sitting there, I don't have hangers for. Actually, I'm lying. There's four hangers right there, and that's it. And I've got way more than four things over here, so I gotta make some choices. Also in the corner over here are just some blankets. The way I have my closet organized is this is kind of all my casual wear. And then I have like more of my casual pants. So like, sweatpants with sweatpants. Wow. Sweatpants and like, I don't know, just like windbreaker pants kind of a situation. I also have my jewelry right here, which nothing is fancy. It's just kind of a costumey jewelry. Down here, I have all of like my jeans and leggings. And then over here, I've got some like shorts. And then it starts my pajamas. And then these two new things I actually just got at Nordstrom, which I'm not getting rid of. But they're kind of like that casual like sweatshirt-y kind of a thing. Without further ado, I am going to get started on this. And I hope you guys enjoy the video. This will all be gone by the time I am done with this. Okay, future Emily, speed up the footage. Okay, so I am all done with the closet cleanup. Like I said, I was just going to focus on the stuff that was down there, which is now transferred up there. And then over here and over here, I didn't really go through any of my shoes or socks, undergarments, all of that like that stuff. I'm just gonna, that stuff really just doesn't need to be weeded through is really what that is. I filled up an entire one bag, like these big bags from the container store. But I figured I would show you what I'm going to do here because I've got a bunch of maybes. So this is all Lula Rose stuff, like right here. And to be completely honest, sorry about the shadowing the light is like really bad in here. I have not worn any of those in probably about a year. So if I don't wear them in the next month or two, they're gonna go because a lot of it is like fall colors. So if I don't feel the need to gravitate towards them in the next month or so, they're going. Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about that. I do have a couple of blazers. I only have three blazers right now. And I'm not getting rid of any of those because I do wear them from time to time. And then I do have my scarves over there, which I did not weed through any of those. Oh, if you're interested in the hangers that I use, I will leave an Amazon link below for you guys. The way I organize my closet, if you guys are interested, is by category and color. So I do all of my like tank tops first. And these are the tank tops that I typically wear like under something. And then I will go to like sleeveless in color category, something with a sleeve, short sleeves. Then starting right here is three quarter length. And then we go into long sleeves. And these are more like this whole section is more things I would wear to work. So can be used for casual and can be used for more dressy. And then over here to be honest, I didn't weed through a ton of this stuff because it's all still good. This is kind of like my bumming around the house stuff. So again, sleeveless, short sleeve, which I have quite a bit of short sleeve. I have like one three quarter. And then I go into long sleeve, which randomly this is a long sleeve thing. I do actually wear this in the winter when it's like super, super cold to bed. So I don't know. But anyway, love all of this stuff. I actually got rid of a couple of pants in here. And then this is where my leggings were. These are like the only like it like Lula row leggings that I'm like for sure, for sure keeping. So there's like a really, really light steel gray, a heathered gray, and then a couple of kind of like more black and white and cream patterns. And that's it for the Lula row stuff.  I do actually have a couple of pairs of pants, hard to see, but they're right there. I need to hang those up a couple pairs of jeans and a couple pairs of other types of leggings that I love way more than Lula row, but that's okay. But I am actually really happy with the way that all of the stuff looks on the top now. And I feel like the bottom could just be for hangers or other storage or whatever. Yeah, I think the stuff on the bottom is going to kind of force me to, you know, make some decisions when I'm getting ready in the morning because I feel like I tend to wear the same things over and over and over and over and over because it's easy and it's out because I just ran it through the laundry, you know? So I think giving me 30 days on that is gonna be an eye-opener and I'm kind of looking at it now going, well, I even want to wear any of that stuff in 30 days. I don't know. But if I don't, it's just gonna go away. All right, so that is it for my video. I will insert right here because it's a Sunday and this video is not gonna go up till Friday. I will insert down here how much money I ended up getting for all the stuff that I brought over. Normally they don't, you know, give you a ton of money. But if you can get anything for things that you were gonna donate anyways, you know, why the heck not?  But most of the stuff that I have is, I don't know, I wouldn't say it's all brand name. I mean, there's a bunch, there's tons of stuff from Target and other things too. So yeah, you never know. But why not try to kind of upcycle and let someone else reuse them? Plus, anything that they don't take, I am gonna be donating to either Goodwill or some other place like that. So that is gonna be it for this Financial Friday. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you have any questions, feel free to post them below. Also, let me know if you guys have any tips or tricks for organizing your closet or cleaning out your closet on a regular basis. I would love to know down below. That's it from me. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me today. Give the video a thumbs up if you liked it. And also, make sure to subscribe. I'm here every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with new content for you guys. So hopefully you guys are having a great day no matter where you are and I will talk to you in my next video. Bye guys.


Well, good morning everybody. We're at the gate to get unloaded and we've got issues this morning My batteries are dead.  I woke up my my bunk heater was going my engine heater was going so the engines actually warm But I went to go start the engine I don't have enough juice to turn over the engine though.  I called the tow truck to come boost me already It'll be quick once he gets here because I've got the two I've got the two knobs just underneath my hood that connect to my battery so he can just connect his cables right onto that So it doesn't have to open up my battery blocks or anything But hopefully that'll work and hopefully he gets here quick because my engine is cooling off as we speak And once this engine cools off too much, it'll be much harder to crank it over. They said he's on his way right away, so Hopefully Hopefully it doesn't take too long not the start to the day that I wanted it's been That kind of month. I don't know why I've never had problems with my batteries before But I woke up and Beneath here I Have this here, right? It's a little cigarette lighter plug, right? Is it focusing on it? Of course not But that shows me my battery voltage And it's showing me he's bouncing between 11 and a half and 10.8 and it was flashing at me Which isn't good. That's not a full battery. We want to be closer to 12, right? You think it'll still turn over with 11.6, but Not enough juice So hopefully I'll get here soon. I don't like your attitude. I don't like your attitude lately so they came out Tiny tow truck. I told them all I need is just a bit of juice to turn the engine over the engines already warm Shouldn't take much.  I Had my battery posts beside my engine exposed already my hood opens all he had to do is click Connect his cables real easy right out in the open Engine started up right away. All right less than 30 seconds like No more than one minute the truck was running. He had his cables already rolled up He was ready to go. So then the bill came You guys want to take a stab at how much the the bill was for that boost We have to remember that this is a heavy diesel truck. So it's in a different class apparently I've learned this today Base rate is a hundred and fifty US dollars just for them to come boost me On top of that for them to drive across town, there's a $20 fuel surcharge and then taxes So in total that boost that took less than a minute From a pickup truck that's you know made for towing cars like a little tiny tow truck 177 US dollars it came out to 246 Canadian dollars. I'm just gonna let that sink in for a second It took less than a minute But because I'm classed as a heavy truck I get charged more even though it's just as easy to boost me as it is to boost a car You just connect the battery. It's pretty simple.  But the whole bunch of stuff didn't fix the problem And then they checked all the wiring wiring was corroded So they replaced all the wiring that fixed the problem For a while and then the engine like came back on and then he's had to get that looked at again So he's had a bunch of issues too. I've had some pretty minor issues compared to a lot of drivers out here A lot of them have had it a lot worse But that is the state of trucking. I love my job. I love what I do, but some days are really not so good So this day started off not so good, but let's make the rest of it good. Hopefully by the time we get in there My batteries will have enough charge.  If not, I'm just gonna make sure someone has cables around here And I can get a boost before I go One more thing on the list of things to worry about, right? So I'm empty now. I have a coffee and I'm ready to head out. My next load is in Bemidji About an hour and 45 minutes from here. So My loading appointment is this afternoon and it's 9 a.m So I'm gonna see if they can get me loaded a little bit early. That'd be nice So I learned some lessons today. First of all The guys here are so nice in Brainerd where I unload all the time They know me and they know my name and everything. I come in here all the time. They're great guys And oh Calm down Karen. Hold on my movie. It's already yelling at me so I go in there I let them know so my Batteries were dead overnight and I'm just charging them up But you want me to hide a little bit outside charge it up or or come inside if I come inside if they Don't start you a booster cables.   I guess I should just gone in gone in and talk to them I just didn't want to bother them. I figured man. They're probably busy getting ready for work. They just got here in the morning I don't want to get them to come out here and boost me so That would have been cheaper But lesson of the day is have a pair of booster cables in your truck with you all the time Trucker Josh didn't do that. Trucker Josh wasn't prepared Trucker Josh knew better. Trucker Josh is very bad. It's a bad boy. I Have these I have booster cables at home in my shop And I thought many times I should put those in the truck I should put those in the truck. I should put those in the truck And I never did because if I had them here with me my friend Trevor who was in the truck behind me Never in front of me there He was here at the same time. He would have gladly boosted me if I had Cables and have cables So that is a $250 Canadian or $177 American Lesson that I can teach you right now so that you don't have to spend that money when you have dead batteries in the morning Have a set of booster cables with you long ones that they can reach a long ways, right? And before you go and spend the money, you know Chances are there might be a kind trucker or a kind friend or a kind person around you who will give you a quick boost I would do it if someone came to me and said, hey man, my batteries are dead. You might give me a boost I got cables. I just need a little bit of juice from you Of course I've been there. This isn't my first time having dead batteries in the morning It's happened to me many not many times. It's happened to me before One that sticks out in my mind is in Kamloops, British Columbia while ago when I was driving that Volvo But it's happened to me before and when someone needs your help with something like that. It's super simple Let me give him a helping hand so That's my lesson for you guys get a pair of long like a long set of booster cables with long cables So they can reach your truck and way out past your truck to the next truck the longest ones You can find the longest ones you can store in your truck I'm gonna go and get a new pair as soon as I can. I have a short pair at home, which Probably wouldn't be too long the truck would have to be right up beside me But if you're gonna buy a new set get a nice long set. That's your lesson for today. That one's free So I'd like to give a special shout out to the new members of the channel So I've had memberships over on patreon for about 10 years and it's been very disconnected from the channel It's been very hard to merge the two and It's been very difficult sort of on my end to keep track of it and everything YouTube opened up this membership program Which is way easier on my end to deal with that patreon So I'm moving all the memberships over from patreon to YouTube and I'm making it available to you guys here, too There's a basic membership and a premium membership But the videos will always be free to watch for you guys here just the same nothing will change for any of you Memberships a basic membership will get you a little your highlighted comment It'll have a little badge beside your name so that your comment sticks out I definitely see those that comes into a different section like on my phone when I'm reading the comments Your comment then comes into a different section and I read those first they stick out to me and Premium membership is you get early access to all my videos as soon as they get on the internet It could be a few days early a day or two or even a week early at sometimes Whenever I have it ready and put together you get to watch it right away before everybody else You also get members only content stuff that I make just for the members of the channel just sort of like over on patreon It's a patreon sort of Like I said, it was too disconnected.

If not, you can watch the videos just like before Nothing will change for you. Let's get out there on the road Let's go get it Mississippi River Up here in Minnesota, this is where it starts right somewhere around here It's already a big river here Don't go this direction that often sort of taking the shortcut to Bemidji from Brainer. Well, it's straight north from Brainer We're gonna turn on to you a County Road 49 here right away Let's hope I don't regret this without the snow on it Like four by four as he said or something on these stacks Pulsist, but that one there. That's my little case. They told me just to back up Right up to here close by so they can pick it up still And they'll load it on me. I'll tie it down. I'll be out of here. They're expecting me That's how I know where to park and what to do. I don't have to go into the office They say just wait in the truck and they'll be out here. I Like that. It's nice and warm in the truck. I like that option wait and see Still nervous about turning my truck off now. I'm just gonna let it go and I was still pretty cold outside is about minus 20 Celsius One second here my American friends. What is minus 20 Celsius in Fahrenheit? Minus 20 degrees Celsius is equivalent to minus four degrees Fahrenheit. There you go It's minus freezing outside They're gonna leave the truck going running until we get back Probably until I can get it back into my shop so I can test the batteries see what's going on I've never had my batteries go dead overnight just from having my bunk heater on I've left my bunk heater on for 24 hours before and then run my engine heater for two hours to warm up the engine And then started it up. No problem with plenty with having my cooler running in here and my phone charging I've always been good until now. So somehow the cold got into my batteries now and cause problems for me this morning $250 Still haven't told my wife that one yet She'll know by the time you see this, but yeah, that's $250 Gone into the wind into someone's pocket.  If we had known we would have told you not to call them. I'm not cool You're cold So here's my load rough cut 4x4 hardwood No tarp nicely tied down Ready to rock and roll Do one walk around here make sure I haven't forgotten anything haven't left any of my equipment On the trailer bed or anything Everything looks good.  I'm starting to get a little chilly. I'm gonna go sit in the warm truck So we're taking this up to Winnipeg Somebody in Winnipeg wants this good hard American lumber as hard American woods going to Canada And bring it there to Winnipeg and it's more morning after I deliver this I have a reload waiting for me That is being delivered into Saskatchewan The following week they'll tie it down Bring it to our yard nice secure yard Leave it there go home for a reset and I'll get going so I'm filming this on a Thursday, so tomorrow will be Friday when all this is happening go home for Saturday And half Friday and Sunday morning I'll head out again get into Saskatchewan deliver to near Lang banks of Saskatchewan been there quite a few times And we'll see what's after that I'll start the week off with a bang and hopefully we can make up for some lost revenue I'm gonna staying at the Flying Jay in Headingley, which is on the west side of Winnipeg Just around the corner from where I have to deliver this wood It's worth going up to the northwest side of Winnipeg So I'm just take Canada way Don't look at cops sitting there on the left sneaky sneaky. They're not even anybody in there. Oh, it's a trick. It's a decoy Well, good thing I wasn't speeding either way Still got me to look down at my gauges hours to get up to Winnipeg. It's not that far I Should have everything delivered and my next load loaded by around about noon tomorrow My loading appointment is 10 a.m. So I have to be empty and over there on the west side of Winnipeg near oak bluff By 10. I'm guessing we'll have myself loaded and ready to go before noon So I should be home at a decent time tomorrow We'll see what happens. I mean about this last night, right the plan never goes according to plan That was true again this morning when I woke up and couldn't start my truck. I gotta go test my batteries Why did they get drained? Was it just the cold weather? Was it a fluke accident? Like Are the connections not clean? I just had it serviced like two weeks ago. So they cleaned everything off It's just been like that cold night. It's like I'm stopping in St. Adult, which is south of Winnipeg. I'd rather get around this city section of Highway at night less traffic to deal with in the morning It's only like 6 30 in the evening So I shouldn't get a pretty decent parking spot and heading Lee that that's one of the reasons I was gonna stop and say it off just to make sure I got me a good decent spot We'll be there at what seven o'clock We're still gonna decent spot. I think it's a big truck stop there So I should be able to find one where I'll be safe overnight Safe from people backing into me. Let's hope I changed my mind I'm gonna stay an oak bluff. There's a Timmy's here I get Timmy's in the morning then and there's space to park at the back here That works for me Hopefully everybody's taken up. Oh, look there. We already got two guys taking them four spots That's that's nice. So there's a little snow on the ground covering up the lines people forget How much space they need they look at that could have fit another truck in there easily and they parked a little nicer But pay attention to where you're parking folks Don't take up more space than you need others of us that would like to park and sleep two keys Park right here beside this western star who's also taken up two spots. Oh Good thing I'm not too busy yet, right, but it's gonna fill up tonight that guy is stuck He can't back up because that little little Sorry tongue twisted right now at the back of his trailer there is extra set of axles See how they're jackniving on him so he can't back up Why can't I think of the name for that right now? I know that you guys will Get my comment section. Let me know Those axles right there the extra axle that I see they're jacknavig so we can't back up very much further But it can't go forward either Because I guess he's going a slightly uphill. He's got a heavy load. I mean honestly, what can I do to help him at this point? I can't pull him out with my truck trailer. I Might damage my truck or trailer doing that He could call a tow truck. I had to call one this morning. It was expensive He's trying. I don't know if he doesn't have tire chains But he's using chains from that he's like I was saying to secure his loads that wrapping them around his tires I could damage some stuff, but I mean if that works it works, right? You can get some kitty litter or sand put that underneath your tires out probably his best bet right now They do sell it inside the store right there.  I think he just got out Yeah, I figured he'd be able to do it. He was rocking back and forth like six feet or any I figured he'd get it both to put the camera down and run out there and see if there was something I could do He's he got out Didn't even take him that long well less than less than 10 minutes there That's the kind of driver you want on your team problem-solving in all weather conditions Right on So thanks for watching today everybody. It was a fun day every day every day is fun We are not going to have battery issues tomorrow morning. It is really cool tonight It is down to about minus 22 minus 23 so the truck is gonna stay on I'm not risking everything freezing up over night again And then I'll get my batteries tested as soon as I can I guess Hopefully we don't have any further issues At least there's no blizzards today, right? Hopefully there's no blizzards tomorrow The plan for tomorrow is just to go down the road Unload this lumber come back pretty much right here You know bluff right in the same neighborhood where I'm staying at Pick up my next load and just go home, but I can't deliver till Monday anyways So thanks everybody again showed up to my members out there really appreciate it I'll see you guys tomorrow. Please be safe out there


Oh, welcome back to Exotic Wine Travel. I am your host, Matthew Horkey. Hi, I'm Sherene Tan. Welcome to the show. This is the first video in our series about the wines of Santa Barbara County, which we're so excited about. Just to let you know, this video has not been paid for in any way, shape or form. So if you like these videos, you find value in them, check out our guide to the wines of Santa Barbara County called Sipping Santa Barbara, Recommended Wines. And producers. We've got three wines here. We've poured them all from the Corvin Model 2 Elite. Thank you so much Corvin for giving us a sample unit to try into Gabriel Glass. These are hand blown glasses and we will have a discount code for Gabriel Glass at the end of the video. So. You can take a look. Oh, super light. Really thin, stem. Very sexy. Let's get started. Rhone White Wines today. Santa Barbara has grows so many different types of grapes. There's so many grapes there. That's where I found it fascinating, right? When we first went there. Yeah. When we spend our days over there, it was just a new experience every day because there's so many producers and so many different kinds of grapes. And more importantly as well, the grapes express itself so differently in the different vineyards. Yeah. It's a very vineyard specific that is the county. Let's get into some of the wines. We've got first, the Coupe Marsan from 2015. This is 75% Marsan and 25% Rusan to add some acidity. Coupe, Bob Lindquist is the owner, wine maker, legendary producer in the area, makes a lot of wine. And let's give it a shot. Even though Santa Barbara is famous for Seraja, Grenache, Rhone Reds, you don't see a ton of variety of wines, right? Yeah, I'd agree with you. Let's give this a little bit. Oh, these glasses, feel nice, right? Really gorgeous nose. This is entry, this is entry level wine from Coupe, running in at about 25 US dollars. What you picking up on the nose here? White peach, a little bit of stone as well. Lemon. Lemon lime citrus notes to it. I think this is partially barrel fermented, stainless steel as well. What do I like about Marsan? You got me into Marsan Rusan, remember? You got me into them. I like the stoniness. And I think the Rusan really stands out here as well. It has that honey nose to it. Let's give this a go. Let's start the show with us. It's really full in the mouth. And the acidity is beautiful. Yeah, Marsan really struggles with acidity. And this is really bringing some heat for a 25 dollar entry level wine, don't you think? Yeah, but yours is 50. I'd imagine maybe in a year or so, it might gain some spicy nose there. There's a little bit of the new ones to it at the end palette now. For me, this is really impressive. It's going to be hard to score all the wines when we do this video series because all the wines are going to be pretty darn good. This is a good start for me. I'm already 3.94 out of the 4.0 out of this. I think this is an excellent, I'm going to even take a little sip. Good start, right? Let's see how the rest will go. This was one of Sirene's favorite wines when we were first in Santa Barbara. This is the Zaka Mesa Rouson from 2013. Also 25 US dollars. This was barrel fermented and aged in French oak for 10 months. Let me see if I got that right. French oak, yeah. Sirene loved this Rouson Zaka Mesa. Really, Zaka Mesa, one of the legendary producers in Santa Barbara, the third, I think the third winery in Santa Barbara or the second started after a prohibition. Focuses on Rhone grapes. Bob Linguist, the owner of Coupe actually worked there as many other famous winemakers did. I see you're getting right into the line. I was getting lost and I know why I was trying to follow him. As you know, Rouson, Marson, shot enough to pop white, coat the Rhone, white, Southern Rhone. That's what you're going to get. Let's give this, wow. They're all integrated, right? That's amazing. Oh, for me, it's like perfect oak integration, lemon, stone, this like explosive peach note. A little bit of yellow flower notes to it too. This is nice, right? Let's give this a go. What you think? It's really nice, I said it to you. You know, that's why I like Marson and Rouson. It makes me want to listen to classical music. It just beats at a very different pace in your mouth. This is really nice wine. This is obviously a step up. You can tell there's a little more expensive wood on it. But this is also, man, this is pretty nice stuff. I'm going to take a sip off this. It's a little oaky. It is a little bit oaky. You need some time to integrate a little bit more. But man, if you're bored of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, some of the normal grapes, these brown white grapes are so excited and interesting. They're really worth checking out. I love the end palette especially. Like you said, the oak is too pretty strong right now. But it's more of a spicy, sweet notes to the finish. Okay, so I'm about 3.94 on this one. I'd probably say 4.1 on the Zacameza, Rouson. Zacameza was the first Santa Barbara wine that we ever had together, right? They're Sera, so good job. Very nice job. Let's move on. We have a step up here. We have the Coupe, same producer as the first one, Rouson. Be in the Cedil Hillside Estate Select from Santa Maria Valley. 40 US dollars for this barrel fermented Rouson. Are you ready to come? You want to rinse or do you want to use? No, I pour it up very clean. You just pour right over. I think that'd be good. So once again, this is more of a reserve bottle, 40 bucks. Coupe has this great label, Bob Lindquist is the owner, winemaker. I think Coupe's named after one of the local Indian tribe, Native American tribes there, or with some kind of word. Let's give this a go. Chris Santhanum hiding in the right cantaloupe. The Chris Santhanum just jumps out at me, right? It's actually totally different flavor profile than the Zacameza, Rouson, wouldn't you say? Yeah, I would say so. Chris Santhanum for me. I almost would think that this is picked later than this.  Let's give it a go. Yeah, there's tea notes to it. What you think? This has higher acidity, this is a Rouson that I actually am more familiar with. Yeah, right, this has some nice biting acidity. This to me tastes, this to me it has explosive, nice beauty. This to me tastes a little more Frenchy. Like Roni, I would think, it has a lot of wood. The only thing, this does have a lot of wood. I have to say that. I would like the wood to integrate a little bit better, but the finish, the fruit's fantastic. The finish is really long. What else do you wanna add on the? The Coupe just has this beautiful white tea Chris Santhanum for me. It's big body, it's not humongous.  Anything else? Yeah, it's quite creamy in the mouth. Good job, good job for good show. I'm gonna say I was 3.9, 4.1, I think about 4.0 on this wine. All very good wines, it's gonna be hard to score the wines as we do these videos, because they're all high quality. Anything else? Even for me, like this to me is the same quality, but it just depends on what kind of style I wanna have. Like do you want a little bit more wood, less acid? It's here, you want something a little bit more crisper, but still wood right here. So guys, yeah, come check out Rhone Whites are awesome. They're exciting. Like Shetanoff to Pop White is starting to get popular. Santa Barbara's a nice alternative. This is starting to taste like crème brûlée. You like it or not? You like? I'm very intrigued by it. Right now, I'm gonna put actually the discount code for the Gabrielle Glass on the screen with the website. I will put the website in the description box. Thanks, we don't get any, we're not affiliates of Gabrielle Glass, it's just us extending. It's nice that you like the glass and get it. Yeah, so check out our book, Sipping Santa Barbara and stay tuned for more videos on the wines of Santa Barbara County. Anything else you wanna add? Definitely.
