From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar hi Johnny Andy I saw George Foley. I wasn't able to make him changes, please Well, it was a good try Johnny jury still out. Yeah, that means they're arguing all the technical evidence I was just thinking no one really believes we'll get Arnold Bennett. What do you think? I think we will I know we will Hey the jury foreman just sent for the bailiff. I'll be right there Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. I was truly Johnny dollar Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar To the four state fire insurance corporation 4065 spear Boulevard Hartford, Connecticut The following is an accounting of expenditure is during my investigation of the Bennett arson fraud Expense account Adam 11 10 cents one phone call to the hospital The report on Arnold Bennett substantiated the newspaper story that he was recovering from the gunshot wound inflicted by his niece Well one thing Johnny, he'll be alive for us if we can go after him. No, I wish it would work with Foley I think I get a mated work if that lawyer Eggleston hadn't been there It's after four You know that jury doesn't come in with a verdict pretty soon. They'll have to adjourn for the night. Yeah Want to smoke? Yeah, thanks, Johnny. I would Hey, they're coming back in. Oh, yeah Stuffy in this courtroom. Yeah In session You see that as the jury reached the verdict in the case of the state versus George Foley. We have sir Will you please read the verdict on this card? We the jury find the defendant George Foley Gileas charged I got some things to tell you now. Who's this with you darling Andy Chord with the insurance company Now look, I haven't got any deals to offer Foley. You know that I know. It's so I took a chance It's a lousy five more years. What about Arnold Bennett?  I want some information first. They only gave us 10 minutes Foley What's Bennett now? He's still in the hospital.  Oh, come on Foley. Let's have it if you have anything to say Can you get Bennett can you really get him I'll tell you frankly We think we can get him with or without your help now. It doesn't make too much difference Maybe it'll take longer without your help, but we'll get him The fact that the court is going to convict you for having set fire to Bennett's office building is the lever We've needed it. We can go after him now. Do you want to help us Foley? I don't want to help you. You're thinking insurance company, but I hate the idea Bennett Mr. No one do everything running around eating good food and sleeping in his nice bed while I'm roughing away in prison Sure sure he hired me to fire his building He paid me 2,500 bucks to put the torture that lousy building is He said he could throw all the blame and a guy named Tony Midas if it ever came up We want the facts Foley. How'd he first contact you? I got a friend of no say see my friend told me to contact when A couple of days for the job. Come on Foley. Who's your friend? I'm gonna tell you everything. Did you talk to Bennett in person about firing the building I? Talked to him on the phone after my friend told me about him Bennett said he wanted the place to go down because he's having money trouble taxes and all and he offered me a thousand bucks For the job. Now wait a minute Foley. You just said you got 2,500. I did I did I Hung up on him when he offered me a thousand I call him back later on and told him I wanted four thousand Well, we argued about it and then finally hit on the 2,500. Did you meet him then? Sure. No, I never met him I I saw once and I walked by the building look at over but I never met him Bennett's niece said she saw you two together Foley a sworn statement.  How about the money? How'd he pay it to you? He left it for me in the check stand at the bus terminal over on 4th Street I told him how to do that I wanted to leave it now. Let me get this straight Foley You made the deal to fire the building over the phone and you went ahead and looked at the job You never talked to Bennett in person That's right, and you made arrangements for him to pay you $2,500 by leaving it in the check stand at the bus terminal Yeah, yeah, when did you make these arrangements? The day before the job, how'd you work it? I just told you I mean the money oh Half of it the first time and after job is over. He left the other half for me and you got it all Sure sure in cash Why are we trying to see him in the hospital after he was shot? Try and shake him down for another five Come on, let's start over What do you mean? Oh, you're trying to sell us a bill of goods here for what reason I don't know but I know this You had to meet Bennett. You had to see him foley. You had to talk it over with him personally I just told you I picked up the money in the bus turn I don't believe that Bennett wouldn't have left the money for you to pick up You could have just gone away with it and after the building was burned if it had been that way Bennett didn't have to pay you the balance I Wanted to just see him It's pretty important to know when and where and how many times you and Bennett got together Thought you said you could get him whether I told you anything and we can we can brother don't ever doubt that But if you tell us some facts we can get him faster All right now Where did you first meet him? Was it in a restaurant someplace with people around? No, no, I met him in his car. He was parked on market street near fifth That's the way we arranged to meet each other over the phone didn't anybody see you meet him People on the street. I guess one of this meeting happened Night I torched his builder. He paid you then Yeah, the whole twenty-five hundred. You're all of it. What'd you do with the money? Never mind. You still have it Never mind. This is a waste of time.  I'm saying something you guys are less than We continued questioning Foley about his association with Arnold Bennett Each time he explained it. It was a different story The only thing he admitted was that Bennett had hired him to fire the building As far as the details of it were concerned. They were lost in a jumble of contradictory answers. He gave us Expense account item 12 $5.60 dinner for Andrew Corden myself The next morning we returned to the Hall of Justice to question George Foley once more All right, now how much did you say Arnold Bennett paid you for the job? $1,000 you told us 2,500 one time another time you said 5,000 now come on. What was it? $1,000 and when did he pay you? Right after I fired the building. I met him right afterwards down on the street in his car He asked me if was all set and I told him to listen for the sirens Pretty soon somebody put in the alarm and the fire agents come out. He paid me that. All right Place was three-quarters gone by that time. He knew I did a good job Where was this you met him now? Couple of blocks in the building did anybody see you together No, where did your telephone him from? For my place the same night you started the fire Yeah And he brought you the money that night and you cased the building that night and you started the fire All this in one night. You got it now. That's the ticket boy It became increasingly evident that Foley was attempting to convince us that he was mentally deranged In spite of the fact that he'd already been tried and found guilty and was slated to appear at 10 30 the following morning for sentencing It's an old trick and with arsonists where sanity is questioned from the beginning a good one However, Foley had been examined by three psychiatrists appointed by the courts I waited in the jail cell with Foley while Andy Coyd went out to get copies of their findings when he returned we showed them to Foley Okay Well, what do you show me these things for to let you know there's no way to get out of it now Foley These are from psychiatrists. All of them had a good look at you. You're sane. You're all right You remember when they looked at you No, all right, look at the dates on the paper you can read can't you January 15th January 16th January 21st Witnesses were around for all the examinations Well Well, are you through playing games now? Okay, darling you guys Come on. Give us the story I Met Arnold Bennett at the Hopkins bar about a month before the fire I made sure I'd meet him there. Now. What do you mean Foley? I've been setting fires for living for a long time now. I Always have a list of people like Bennett. I could use a fire. I get around I knew it was in trouble four or five years ago the income tax people They set a guy to prison for cover up Tony White. Yes, Tony Midas. I figured he'd be needing another one pretty soon So we had a drink. I brought it up who paid for the drinks. Hey, who saw you together? the bar Alfred it was I made a deed there a couple of people at the table I Put the proposition up to him. How'd he like to have his bill and burnt down and collect his $500,000 get himself out of trouble He said he liked that fine. I told him it cost him 5,000 bucks in advance So he couldn't raise that much, but he didn't manage to get 3,500 together. I took it I did the job. What'd you do with the money? I Still got it. Where it's not gonna do me any good now I buried it in a gallon can a vacant lot over by the tower. I could show you where okay We'll get you to do that.  I can testify against him at his trial The next morning at 10 30 George Foley received the maximum sentence Two hours later charges were filed against Arnold Bennett naming him for conspiracy arson attempted defraud and collusion a Warrant was issued for his immediate arrest, but it was never served Arnold Bennett died in the hospital at night In a way you could still say that no one ever beat him He beat himself Expense account item 13 87 dollars and 50 cents hotel and board in San Francisco Item 14 another hundred and twenty five dollars transportation back to Hartford Item 15 35 dollars miscellaneous expense account total $1,440 and 37 cents remarks nothing Yours truly Johnny doll Remember there'll be another intriguing story for you beginning next Monday night next week the Phantom 5 matter death on the high seas Join us won't you yours truly Johnny dollar yours truly Johnny dollar starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood Written by John Dawson.

Hi Traders, today during the webinar we saw some pretty interesting price action in the S&P E-mini. We drew out our higher timeframe levels you can see here at $23.80, $78, and $73.75. Now after the $9.30 open price moved down into close to our $73.75 area, but then in a lot of volume traded down here we see a retest back up into our $78 level, and then price came down into this area here that gave us a lot of insight. First thing was that they're providing high liquidity here at a higher level than this previous swing low. Secondly is they stayed in the book as price came down into this area and they got filled. Large volume dot and large transactions taking place at this area gave us a lot of insight at this $75.75 level. We saw price rebound back up into close to the $78 level where again we're providing pretty high liquidity on the offer and we started a channel between this area. However we were watching very closely this $75.75 area because as you can see and I zoom in here that they stayed in the book. In the auction process here we are reading it and we can see that they have intent to trade at these levels. They stay in the book and the sellers do not take them on at the $75.75 level. So what occurs is or what we're piecing together is these large transactions are being defended here again in the limit order book. They want to get more size on at these areas. So we were looking for a retest back up into $78 and the potential for a break out to the upside. Well as we approached this $78 level here you can see how they behaved in the book which is quite different than they were here on the bid. As price came up into this area they started to pull their high liquidity here as you can see and as we move forward we see that price made a bit higher high here as you can see a rotation lower and then a breakout to the upside. This is what we were looking for and what gave us clues to this occurring was reading the auction and the transactions here in book map. Looking at the limit order book information and how they behave in that book is something book map is excellent at visualizing. So we saw that unfold in front of us and we were looking for further continuation to the upside and that is what ended up occurring. We go over information like this every day during the live webinars. Please come and join us.


Anybody hear me? Yes, I think so. We are MoCo and Vax from Germany, and we are here to show you a talk on how to make your own variable color organ dress. And what's a color organ dress? You can see it here, or you can see it here. Please, sound. I'll start the slide again, I guess. What do I have to press? That's a color organ, basically.  Made a simple version, which we were going to give around. So you can have a look at the. You can have a look at the circuit. Well, what's my motivation behind doing this? Basically, basically, I like sewing, and I've always wanted to use variable LEDs in a project. And there's some inspiration to be found on the web. For example, this amputee tie from Adafruit. And I'm a big fan of Spoonflower, where you can buy custom printed fabric, where this design by Kimza named Circuit Nerd is one of my favorites, as you can see. Sadly, I've only limited programming skills, so, well, that's where you come in. Yeah, so I like electronics. And of course, I always wanted to make some project with variable LEDs. And well, there are some microcontrollers on the web. On the left side, you see Adafruit Gamma. On the right side, Adafruit Flower. And well, my issue was that I didn't really have any practical use case. And well, that's kind of where we come together. OK, so what do you need for sewing? You need your standard sewing utensils, like scissors, a pattern, fabric, et cetera. Make sure you choose a fabric that's appropriate for your project. Like if you want to make a dress, you should choose something stretchy. I recommend for sewing with conductive thread, which you need for the LEDs to connect to use embroidery needles. And you want multiple needle threaders because they break easily, because the conductive thread is more like wire and splices easily and is not easily threaded by hand. You'll need cutting pliers for that, too. Not regular scissors, as I said, conductive thread. And you need the electronics like the microcontroller, the LED, the battery. I used a commercial pattern for the dress. It's McCall's pattern M6028. As with all patterns, you have to check the fit and probably make some slight alterations. But all in all, it's a very easy pattern to use. And I can recommend it. On the right side of the slide, you see how the dress looks before assembling. But there's already the front and the side panels sewn together. Yes, I use an overlock for sewing. On this slide, you can see a basic circuit connecting a microcontroller and a Neopixel LED. There are three kinds of connections. Power, ground, and data. Data goes from the data port to the first LED, then from the LED to the next LED, and so on. And it's important that you connect them in the right direction, as indicated by the arrows on the LED. If you are planning to have a more complex LED pattern, I recommend that you use an embroidery frame, as you can see in the slide, in which you mount the fabric. This is especially important because otherwise the tension might skew your garment. When placing the LEDs, be aware of the data direction and avoid crossing the circuits as much as possible. Otherwise, there will be crosstalk. I also recommend that you pin the LEDs in place before sewing them on, for example, with scotch tape, which I used. If you want to make a variable dress, I recommend that you add layers for the different circuits, power, ground, and data. On the left, you can see my first try with variable LEDs, which had a bigger chance for crosstalk, as you can see in the upper left, maybe, where the wires are crossing, resulting in randomly flickering LEDs. On the right, you can see my second version with three different layers, one for data, one in between to segregate the circuits, and one for power ground, which is not optimal yet, but still better than the first. On the left, I used a fabric performance knit, and on the right, you see modern jersey. Last but not least, don't forget you need to power your dress. You need to add a battery pouch. OK. So basically, we had two microcontroller options that I showed earlier. One was the Adafruit Gamma, and the other one was the Adafruit Flua. They are both fairly cheap and both made to be sued onto something where you actually have to sue and not solder. The thing is that they both are very short on flash and power, so if you're trying to do any more advanced projects, it's probably an issue. So just for scale, the sketch that is running on this project right now has been used up like 90% of the flash of the Gamma. So for the LEDs, we chose the Adafruit RGB Smart Neopixels, which is a Neopixel variant that is doable. As with all Neopixels, it's easily addressable with the libraries that are provided. You can power it with 5 to 9 volts. But you can also power it with 3.3 volts, what we are doing actually. They'll be a bit less bright, but still bright enough. And they are, well, somewhat pricey. You can buy a sheet with 20 pieces for around 35 bucks. And you still have to do some work on it, so you have to clip the sides with a wire cutter, then peel them off, so you have the sides off. And then after that, you basically try to break off the LEDs in a diagonal pattern. So and after you have them separated, they still have some left over grating from the PCB, which you want to file off so it doesn't get stuck in your thread. OK, for programming, you use the standard Arduino IDE, which probably by now everybody has seen once or twice, at least. There are standard libraries provided for all the microcontrollers that we have shown in the Neopixels. And if you actually try to address the LEDs, they, of course, have an index position starting with 0, according to how you wire them up. So the first LED that you wire up is always on index 0. And the next one is index 1 and so on. And if you have a complex pattern or something like this, where you want the top to be addressed as a single virtual pixel group, you have to actually do some mapping software. So basically, if you have an arrangement for your LEDs, you can probably address them from the library like this. So it starts at top with 0 and then goes on in the direction they are actually well connected to each other. But what we need for this kind of project is something like that. So what we're actually going to do is we will have an array for the LEDs, where we just assume that every LED group can have up to five LEDs and just enter the real IDs of the LEDs in there. And then we have function to assign a color to a given LED group, which just cycles through those arrays and sets all the single LEDs to a certain color. Having that already as a function is quite nice, because after you got that, you can just use many standard animations that are already out there if you don't have an external trigger. OK, so for our project, we actually have an external trigger, which is the microphone. So we found the Maxim Max 4466 is all the microphone that's easy to integrate and cheap. As I've said before, the Gemma has very limited flash. So doing a real transformation is certainly not possible in the space we had. So we are going with the simple voltage that the output port of the microphone provides. And the only interesting thing there is that the output has a DC bias of half the power you put in. So if you actually connect it to 3.3 volts like we do, and there is no sound at all, you will still have 1.65 volts on the port. So basically, you configure it as an analog grid on your Arduino. And that would be around 512 to 1024, which corresponds directly to the input voltage given from the microphone. And after that, you will remove the input bias by just subtracting 512. And after that, we also check for noise constants, which we set to 10, because we found out that the microphone tends to measure itself if it's totally quiet, so we just subtract 10. And if it's less than 10, we just return zero. So it doesn't flicker too much if it's quiet. Well, and after that, you actually have to figure out how deep the levels should be turned on. So we have some height variable, which we later used to turn off the single LED groups in order. So basically, if you have 10 LED groups and the height variable is 10, all the LEDs will be on. And if you have something like two or three, they will be only the first two or three volts on. So probably this is confusing. So if it's too confusing, I have two quick examples where we just assume a maximum volume. So for a maximum volume, the output voltage of the microphone will be 3.3 volts. So that will convert to 1024. Then we will subtract the 512. So our result will be 512. And then we retract another 10, because it's above the noise threshold. And then we picked an arbitrary number, 42, of course, that results in 12, which is more LED groups than we have here. But as we are never going to hit a maximum volume, that's probably a good size. We can do that again with low volume, which while we're just going with 623. Again, we are subtracting the 512 input bias, which results with 101. 100, whatever you know. And then at the end, we have 101. And so when we do the division, we see that only the first two LED groups would have been activated by this. So this looks like it should work with 42. If you think that the sensitivity is low, because maybe you're in a quiet room and what you want to see more flicking, you can just decrease the sensitivity variable. So you will end up with more color. OK, in the end, we are not just turning the LEDs on and off, but we're putting a pretty standard rainbow color wheel effect on them, which is so standard that I won't go into it, because you get it with the standard examples with the library. And you have to make sure that there's some kind of fading out. So if you just turn off the LEDs that they aren't used anymore, it will look very, very annoying, because they're flashy then. So what we are doing here is we are slowly fading those out that are not needed anymore. OK, and then basically, you're done. Yeah, what were the lessons learned during the second dress of this form already? What's your fabric choice? In my first version, I had runs on the fabric, probably because I used the wrong needles. You need to watch out. If you want to sew jersey, you best use jersey needles, ballpoint needles. Also, that conductive thread is very rough and may harm sensible fabrics. There will be crosstalk if you move or if your hair falls over the circuits. I haven't found a way yet to change that. Conductive thread is more wire than string. Therefore, you'll need to fixate it in other ways than you would do with regular string. We try to solder it that it doesn't work, but you can hot glue it. And if you don't fix it, you'll lose connectivity. The circuits will get loose, and debugging that is really not fun.  And as said, multiple times already, maybe try not the gamma for a larger project, but maybe a flora or something similar, because the tiny storage is an annoyment to the programmer. All right, thanks for listening. We were faster than expected. If you want, I think we can take some questions on stage. And otherwise, you will find us next to the stage or later at Camp Holland for questions, and we'll upload the slides and some resources at Zivicki later. All right, thank you. If you have any questions, please stick your hand up, and I'll bring a microphone over. Two and a half questions. How often can you wear that before it needs maintenance and soldering back together again? Presumably, you can barely panwash that. And also, that's why I asked the question, also, granted you can't have real live FFTs in a thing that small, did you think of just getting maybe three or four signals from just passive filters, just loads of gaps and seeing if that would have done any good? OK, I'll start with the first question. Washing the Adafruit website states it's machine washable, but I haven't tried because of the hot glue, actually. I have washed it by hand so far. And it's the, yeah, well, breaking point has been the soldering part on the microphone so far. I've broken that one off once already. I think I've worn it three times so far, this variant. I also added small dots of hot glue on the, how do you say it, ports, on the data and ground and power points on the electrodes as to keep the wire more tight, so to connect it better? I hope that answers the questions. Yeah, the second question was if we tried an FFT with less channels than a standard FFT, like three or four channels. And the answer is actually that I didn't try it because I was kind of lazy. And so somebody wrote an FFT library for Omega, like, I don't know, years ago, and it wasn't touched in sense. And I was just, well, I could be bothered to load that library. But then even without adding any code to it, it wouldn't compile anymore because it would be too large for the 8K flash. So that's kind of where it left off. Well, rather than just FFT and just having just completely passive analog filters, just sort of doing it not with an FFT algorithm at all, but just with having analog filters completely passive and just having three signals coming in, I just wonder if that was doable. Yeah, that should be possible. But well, it kind of doesn't work with the microphone then. OK, any more questions? OK, thank you very much, guys.


Good day ladies and gentlemen. I am here to present my paper on industrial, sorry infrastructural industrial development in Africa. Kind of luckily for me, nearly all the speakers that I've listened to kind of attended to most of the issues that I was supposed to mention. Again, my background is engineering and I'm a student of technology management. So I will be looking at secondary data that I've already been discussed extensively by most others and then I'm also interested in technology and industrial policies. So I will be kind of looking at what I've worked elsewhere and see what can propose same for Africa for her industrial development. I have very few slides. We'll be taking those through between seven to eight slides. I think I'll be able to run them within the stipulated time. We'll look at a brief introduction which has already been attended to exclude, I mean extensively by various speakers like I said and then we'll be looking at the role of infrastructure and industrial development and infrastructure investment in Africa policy considerations and then I'll conclude. Of course these are well-known facts that Africa is green at a very fast pace, around about five percent. But as impressive as that growth, it broad-based economic development has remained elusive, which is a fact we're all conversant with. And lack of industrial development seems to be the major problem of broad-based economic development of the continent and somehow inadequate infrastructure has been fingered as a culprit to us Africa's industrialization. The challenges are enormous as we know and therefore require strategic policy options which we'll be looking at. Like I said because so many of us have discussed the key issues, I wouldn't want to bother us with literature on what constitutes infrastructure and what is investment but we'll be looking at some of the issues that I mentioned. Infrastructure needs for industrial development will include energy, robust transport infrastructure that would mean Africa will begin to think of a transnational route infrastructure, rail lines as well as airports, seaports and waterways. In addition to the above three constraints, also another one is technological infrastructure that we need to also look at, specifically ICT, broadband internet backbone across the subregion although that's improving. And then the issue of absorptive capacity is also a problem. How large is the constraint? Of course it's been stated that investment needs of African countries in infrastructure exceed by far the amounts being invested currently by the various governments across the continent. In Africa we need a total of over 250 billion US dollars for how to address our infrastructure challenges. Again, like as it was mentioned by the previous speaker, good access it is really a problem that 5% compared to 50 in other parts of the developing world. Transport costs are high by hope to like 100 times compared to other regions, similar regions, only 30% of the population has access to electricity compared to 70 to 90 in other parts of the developing world. Again, internet penetration will seem to also have the least among other related regions in the world. Now, having looked at the problems and then the issues that are challenging industrial development in Africa, the kind of policy considerations or things, ideas and matters we'll need to look at proposal Africa women industrial clustering. I'm glad to say that the idea was also mentioned by the lead speaker of the conference. Africa need to develop industrial clusters. Luckily for us, like an example is in Nigeria, current industrial policies premised on clustering, industrial clustering. They will seem to be trying to develop industrial clusters so as to encourage industrial development in the country. A close example to industrial clustering is a special economic zones. South Africa is also trying to adopt the establishment of special industrial economic zones rather to address re-industrialization drive. Another one could be industrial upgrading. African countries need to encourage private sector and industries into starting small. I think simple components and then from there perhaps can take up to more complex stages of manufacturing. One example could be in tooling. We can start to think of making basic tools in African countries. Then when it comes to financing the private public private partnership initiative has been a kind of adopted broadly in the continent with the attendant benefits. A good number of countries have attracted foreign transnational to set up industries. Then there is also the direct foreign investment options as well as official development options open to African countries to attract funds into the African continent and above all it will require African countries providing favorable investment climates. Of course you understand that from the work competitiveness index African countries are kind of at the bottom of the data when it comes to investment climates. Here I didn't conclude in like I said Africa is growing at a fast pace but economic development is not broad-based enough. Infrastructure in other places the major constraints to industrial development in the continent as identified by very many speakers along the line and then industrial development in Africa should emphasize investment in infrastructure as it is seen as the problem of our industrialization process and above all we need to look at the right policy mixes that will take us to worse industrialization as against the de-industrialization that is happening in the continent. Thank you for your attention.

Hi, how's everybody doing today? I'm Rich, your host from Rich TV Live with our very special guest, Wade Coburn, the president of Pathway Health. How are you doing today, Wayne? Doing very well, Rich, how are you? I'm doing extremely well. Great to have you here today. Congratulations on your new IPO this week. Thanks very much, actually it was last week. Well, yeah, it seems like just yesterday but time's flying. And we've discussed the importance of pharmacies in your growth plans. Could you please explain the significance of your agreement with Pharma Choice? Sure. Yeah, the agreement that we signed with Pharma Choice is a very important deal to Pathway Health. And it's the largest agreement of this type ever finalized that I'm aware of. Pharma Choice has over 900 locations under various brands right across the country. So this agreement gives us tremendous reach and exposure. The first part of the agreement involves educating and training pharmacists on cannabis. Statistics Canada just reported that at the end of 2020 almost 6.2 million people age 15 or older or 20% of Canadians in that age group reported having used cannabis in the last three months. That means approximately one out of every five people who go to the back counter of a pharmacy are using some form of cannabis. Wow, yeah. Now, I believe that pharmacists have to be aware of this and they have to have accredited training so that they're comfortable talking to their customers about cannabis and how they may be using it. Now, Ontario was the only province to actually mandate professional accredited continuing education in cannabis for pharmacists but we believe that all pharmacists right across Canada should have a working knowledge of cannabis, especially given that millions of Canadians who are using it. So as the first part of our agreement with Pharma Choice we're making our bilingual and accredited pharmacists education modules available to all their pharmacists right across Canada wherever they have locations. Now, there is another part to this agreement but the first step is to give all their pharmacists the training and education that they need. That's great. Now, it seems that Pharma Choice has chosen to partner with Pathway Health because of your expertise in the area but they seem committed to rolling out your medical cannabis management system across their 900 plus pharmacies. Can you tell us briefly about the system? Yeah, sure. Briefly, our medical cannabis management system or MCMS allows for a pharmacist to answer basically and eventually in-depth questions regarding medical cannabis to screen the patient, provide a meds review and then make an assessment for suitability. If a patient wants to look further into the possibilities the assessment and intake form can be forwarded to our offices where we would further assess for suitability and if applicable help the patient obtain a medical document which is basically a prescription for medical purposes and it would be through their own physician if possible and then help them in placing that document at the Health Canada licensed seller of their choice if they want where they can get their prescription filled. So we plan to provide continued oversight as well as keep the primary physician and the originating pharmacist directly in the circle of care because they obviously take care or sorry to take active roles in the continued care of the patient. When are you guys planning to begin rolling out the MCMS out across Pharma Choice Network? Well, we've actually started rolling the program out already. Great. Now that we're approaching the tail end of pharmacies acting as COVID vaccine clinics which has really been the focus for months now we'll start by rolling out MCMS in about 260 locations in Ontario. But yeah, it's a lot. Following that both the plan is to then roll up to the balance of the 900 plus locations over the second half of this year but really as soon as possible. Now there's no mention of exclusivity. So does this agreement exclude you from similar agreements with other operators? You know, I think the true goal of all pharmacies across Canada regardless of the banner hanging out front is patient outcome and patient health. So this is not an exclusive agreement where we can't work with other pharmacies. In fact, just the opposite we already have several banners under contract and we are in late stage discussions with several other large brand name pharmacy chains that we hope to announce soon. This is all about helping each pharmacy offer the best service and education possible offering increased value and really retaining their customers as well. That's great. You mentioned cannabis 3.0 and OTC cannabis health products in some of your recent conversations. How do the pharmacies fit in with your plans for OTC products? Yeah, that's a great question because we believe pharmacies that can play a really important role in our future plans around OTC cannabis health products. I may have mentioned earlier but we believe the next round of changes to the Federal Cannabis Act which could be as early as this fall and it's being referred to as cannabis 3.0 is going to include a focus on medical products. Now, as part of these changes we strongly believe that because nobody really knows but we strongly believe the cannabis health products and I'm primarily talking about health products that include CBD and CBG and other cannabinoid derivatives are going to be made available to consumers through retail pharmacy and grocery pharmacy stores. This is going to be a brand new consumer package goods category one that the vast majority of pharmacies have no experience with yet. And I mentioned earlier about the percentage of Canadians who currently use some form of cannabis product but we believe that for every one patient that goes to the back counter of a pharmacy to ask about medical cannabis there are so many more who will be looking to buy products that they currently purchase but are not being offered with CBD for example. And that's not to mention entirely new product categories that we're going to see. So we're currently in discussions with as I said, several of the major pharmacy companies in Canada about working directly alongside them to develop these products for their stores. And a significant number of pharmacy companies are trusting us for education for their pharmacists on cannabis and we are working together to provide their customers access to medical cannabis care where it's appropriate. So it only makes sense for them to expand the relationship to include developing these products for their locations. We see this as a huge opportunity for pathway health. It's been an exciting week or so since you guys launched your IPO on the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange this month here in June. So far the prices down slightly and the volume has been low. What do you think are the reasons for this? Well, as your viewers may know we did just start training a week or so ago the early journey is really about getting exposure for the story being noticed and put on watch lists by investors who see our plan and to share our vision. The telehealth sector and small cap stocks in general have all come off their peaks. So it may be that we're experiencing the impact of this. The story is new and it may take time to get the story out. But we believe that we're able to execute on all our business plan. The trading volume should increase. And as we execute on our plans we hope to be able to share more positive news in the near future. We've just gone through some of the key updates. Is there anything you want to deliver? Any messages you want to deliver to potential shareholders that are looking at pathway health as a potential investment? You know, that's a great question. And we were asked that question recently as well too. You know, obviously we're in the industry and we feel that we're in touch with what's coming with cannabis 3.0 people. The investors can do their own reading but having investors ask themselves that when these changes come when cannabis health products are available or if they are made available through pharmacy locations right across Canada as you go into the pharmacy and you can buy CBD pretty much anything. Who's going to benefit from that? I mean, where are the companies that are actually going to benefit from that? And at this point we are the largest partner with Canadian pharmacy companies. And as I mentioned, we are hoping to work with several of them to help them develop these products to possibly even co-own the brand. So we, I believe we stand to be one of the major beneficiaries of this fundamental change to this new consumer package goods category. So that's the one thing I would just say, you know who's going to benefit? And I think that we're going to be a big beneficiary. Super excited to see you guys evolve and grow.

just trying to you know stay aggressive not do too much with it not kind of match his effort with trying to match that with effort of my own and stay loose and stay ready you know you were clearly fired up after that double Austin Romine scored to put you guys on the board can you describe the emotion when you get a hit to give your team the lead against a pitcher of the caliber of snail that's huge you know it was it was clear that you know he was obviously he came up from the ball well our guy did too you know to not get it too so you know one run might make the difference in Romine you know got the ending going with an awesome at bat which is you know pretty standard for him you know when he's in there he you know whacked a whack to break him on the gap and I was just trying to follow it up with another good at bat so you know to get that run there is huge you mentioned Tanaka what impressed you about him I mean he just he makes his pitches he pounded the strike zone I mean through seven innings I mean through like 72 73 pitches so I mean he was out there he was forcing weak contact it was that's you know that's what we expect out of every time that's what he expects out and tell you pitch great Mike thanks for the time congratulations on the win happy Mother's Day mom we'll send it back to you


So, let's use ten. Ten theta is equal to opposite over adjacent. Okay. Again, we decided to be here. Now theta, remember this is a general term. I'm choosing this theta to be this but I could have easily chosen it to be that. Okay. So, we got ten theta, ten 41.4 is equal to opposite. Now, what's opposite from this angle? And when they say opposite, they're not talking about opposite angles. They're talking about the sides. Okay. These opposite adjacent and hypotenuse always refer to the sides. So, ten of 41.4 is opposite over adjacent. So, what's opposite from this? It's 4.1. And what's adjacent? What was the W we're trying to solve? We're assuming we didn't know what this was. So, this becomes W. So, what you do now is you go ten of 41.4, 41.4, ten, which is 0.88162 is equal to 4.1 over W. Now, you got to get W by itself. So, you cross multiply this up. So, you got W times 0.88162 is equal to 4.1. And you want to get W by itself. So, you divide by 0.88162. Divide by 0.88162. This kills this. So, 4.1 divided by 0.88162 is W is equal to 4.6505. Now, according to the sig figs, these guys are going to vary a little bit from the answer we got previously, but we don't care because we only want to take it to one sig fig anyway. So, this becomes 4.7. You follow? You know what? Let's use this angle to find out W. So, let's assume we didn't know what W was. Again, we did it two different ways. We got the same answer. Let's do it one more way to get the same answer, convince ourselves that it doesn't make a difference. As long as we're using information that we have that fits into the equations, we can solve the problem. So, let's use this angle, beta, to find out what W is. And assume we didn't know this. So, let's erase it just for the moment. So, if we use this angle, W ends up being opposite beta. So, we're looking for one of these guys that has the opposite. Well, sine has opposite and tan has opposite. So, we can use sine or tan. It's up to us really. Let's use tan. Actually, we use tan, we use cos. Let's use sine. So, we've got sine of beta is equal to opposite over hypotenuse, which is 6.2. So, again, what we're going to do is we know what beta is. Beta is 48.6. So, let's sub that indirectly. So, that becomes sine of 48.6. So, sine of 48.6, so 48.6, sine is 0.750111 is equal to W over 6.2. And then we're going to cross, multiply the sucker up because we want to get W by itself. So, that times 6.2 is W is equal to 4.65069, blah, blah, blah. Again, the decimals over here differ a little bit from what we got before, but we don't care because we're again going to one decimal place. And this rounds up to 4.7. Again, we got 4.7. So, it doesn't make a difference which formula you use as long as you know two of the variables here and you're solving for the third one. So, keep in mind that to solve for one unknown, you need one equation. To solve for two unknowns, you need two equations. To solve for three unknowns, you need three equations and so on. Since we only had one unknown, we could have used any one of these and we did and we always got the same answer. Now, what we're going to do is probably cover congruent triangles. So, we'll just talk about that real quickly, okay? Good luck. Practice these. Hopefully, I'll get some questions up on my site soon. So, you can do those or just go through your textbook and try them out. Good luck.


Alexa, what's the weather today? Currently, it halts its 22 degrees with cloudy skies. Today, you can expect snow flurries with a high of 23 degrees and a low of 15 degrees.  Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to season three of Day in the Life. Season one was my senior year in high school. We went to class, we went to practice for track and out bellow, RIP. Year two, we went to class in college at Michigan State. We went to Michigan State football game and went to a Halloween party. I think this year is gonna be the best one yet. So it is seven, like 40 in the morning. We're starting bright and early for this. Usually would not do it this early, but you guys haven't seen the car yet and I know the scroll does really cool videography stuff, so I'm gonna go get her. We're gonna like fly a drone, we're gonna get some cool shots and that's gonna be the start today. We're gonna hit some breakfast. I've got like one or two classes today. We got a fraternity basketball game. That's gonna be really funny.  Actually not a party, it's a darty, a day party. You'll see. And let's get cracking. We got some shots to take.  I'm about to shoot the nastiest porno of 2018. This is how candids are made, ladies and gentlemen. This is how candid photos are made.  That is so cool. You got to stop it. I only love my bed and my mom, I'm sorry. That's for the gram. You think I would get a ton of girls now? Yeah, probably like two more. Where did that number come from? This is how cool shots are made.   You want to show us what we ordered today? Yeah, of course.  Wait, you did? I thought you had the cereal killer. Oh yeah, I got that, I don't know why. I got Mr. D. This is Captain Crunch. What's going on, Jenna's french toast? Food reviews with Jenna? I'll say Jenna's and restaurant. I just grilled it right there. Check out the girl who went shopped. Shopped? If I tried. You did shopped, girl. Huge shopped, girl. Hey, you're luck. We're going to do this video, right today. I got to bring all the gear. So here's my camera bag with all my fun stuff. I got my anal beads here. Just kidding, this is the Casey Neistat tripod.  So I got to take this, my recording camera.  This is my trusty Lumix, dude. This thing's a goat. Nice and neatly packaged. It kind of barely fits, but whatever, it makes it. All right, we're off. We're playing. I want to show the guys that fraternity are playing.  Nega!  I lost my wallet.  Before we head in my classroom, look at this. You almost never see this. This is an empty lecture hall. That's sick. I've actually never even seen one of those. That was kind of cool. All right, I got to go to my class now.  Yeah, that honest to God, that's just an easy four point class to make my grade point average look better. The oppers are out, baby. The oppers are out. Did I get a ticket though? Big, big, big, big, big. Ah, no ticket. Let's go. So yeah, like right now, driving the class has just paid off because I didn't get a ticket, so. All right, next up is accounting. I got a quiz I haven't studied for, so let's get in there early and start cramming. Why don't I sell these headphones on? Oh. Yeah, honestly, you're supposed to like walk or bike or take the bus to class or something because there's no really legal parking spots on this campus. Now it's gonna be so late and I really need my attendance points for this class. I assume most of you guys are at least in high school, something like that. I assume most of you guys are middle school high school where you pretty much have to show up every day.  For one, you really want to because you're paying for it and that's why we're here is for our degree. And for two, there's usually attendance points which correlates your grade. This is a gorgeous campus, man. I guarantee tomorrow it'll be like snowing. This is the worst state. All right, this isn't the business college. Ew. That's good, dude. I'm making a bad day in the life. I told you I was making it today. I gotta bring it. This is my boyfriend, M.G. Oh, what's up, guys? How are we? I'm showing the staff, I'm showing the staff. I'm so sorry that I wasn't recording this out.  Only three kills, whatever. I'm happy with how it went. You guys got to see no more big rail. Show them the snapchat. This is the snap. This is such a good thing to add. He had a gold star, dude. I had like nothing. I was just building. I had like the pistol. That was it.  Got one without him. That is so high, dude. You guys just witnessed my first ever solo Fortnite win. Like, that's worthy of something, right?  My heart's still beating, dude. The circle's getting small.  That is so funny. You had a gold pistol whole game. It clutched it. That guy choked it so bad. Oh my God, I'm in such a good mood. Alright, I got a meeting. I got a chapter meeting for the fraternity and then we got a basketball game, but it's a great day. It's a great day to be alive, boys. What's up, guys? This is MMG Unboxing, my fifth channel.  I actually do get packages today, so we're opening them. Don't look at that. Don't look at that. I think this might be all the dildos I ordered. That'll be so many. Alexa, what are your deals? After $5, this comes in credits. Would you like to buy it? No. Alexa, what deals do you have on dildos? Here are my deals. Dash, go black-eyed cooker. It's $12 and $7. No, Alexa. Alexa, I want to buy a dildo. Can you give me any recommendations? Would you like to buy it? By what? What are you trying to give me to buy?  Hmm, I don't understand. Alexa, why don't you just say dildo? I'd rather not answer that. Oh!  Alexa, how do you spell dildo? I'd rather not answer that. Fuck!  That's messed up. All right, let's see what we got. What is on the TV? There better not be any Tom Brady slander. Yeah, we still have our Christmas tree up because we're always in the Christmas spirit, aren't we? In this family. Oh, are you playing the bike game? Tell me, how many of you guys remember this game, dude? We used to grind on this game.  Everyone's watching now. I haven't beaten this one yet, so I'm really worried. I'm gonna give you one more try. This is it, dude. This is it. Unnecessary backflip. Okay. We're also taking a time lapse right now.  I got the big camera out for it. It's a fat time lapse, it's taking right there. Look at that shot. Cinematography, boys. We're all about it, Ms. Household. Okay, what do we got? I'm pretty sure, okay. I'm pretty sure this is like three sweatshirts. Okay, I'm pretty sure this is like three sweatshirts because I ordered three like champion sweatshirts. What I like to wear to like parties and stuff is like just a nice solid sweatshirt and then like a jersey over top of it like this. But this is like the only solid sweatshirt I have like that and it's got the Carhartt logo popping out.  So I just wanted like solid sweatshirts. I'm pretty sure that's what this is. Oh, it totally is. Look at this. One black champion sweatshirt. The only logo it's got is the champion and it's the same color as a sweatshirt. Like you can barely even tell. I think it's cool. The six five jokes.  Fly Eagles Fly, baby. Fly Eagles Fly. Been an Eagles fan my whole life. TK, how many years have I been an Eagles fan? One day.  Hey, can we edit that? Can I edit that to say like 18 years? No. Let's go ask Hess.  He's from Boston. He's from Rhode Island. Hey, Hess. I think he was just setting the rope up. We might have just saved his life. I may love to wistriple. All right, after we get that interview I got to leave for the basketball game. So like obviously on a regular weekday I don't go party but why is the lighting so cool in here?  I am saving some footage. We have a darty. Don't get it mixed up. Day party is what a darty is. It's not a party. It's a party during the day. It's kind of like a tailgate except for no purpose. I brought the camera out. We wanted to ask you so you can see we got lost. First question. What do you have to say about Tom Brady kissing his kid? I do think it's really weird. It's weird. Yeah, dude. AFC championship and NFC championship. You need Lyons Packers. Of course. Lyons Packers. Lyons Higgins up on the other side of the bracket.  I want to see Jaguars. They'll probably be Patriots again, dude. They're not getting any worse. I think this guy kind of looks like Pop and me.  Dude, these two are just determined. What's up, cuties? What's up, sexy? Sam, we haven't played basketball today. Wagner's trying out the beat studios.  These are crazy. Did you hear what I said?   This dude, we got the big, we got the big guy. Are you ready to be camera ran today? Say hi, Mr. President. I'm thinking about bringing out 360 windmill dunk package, but I might just go with Jordan free throw line ducks on. No, we'll see. I'm feeling 6'6' today. I'm usually 6'5', but I'm feeling 6'6' today. My God, he's so cute. 14, let me get you out of the graph. LeBrono Palmer's to the game. What did you have, 25 or 30 today? 30 divided by 15, it was sick. I go game risk, I swear every day we live. Yeah, every day we live. Wanna say hi for the video?  Drink your water, fellas.  Screens are in this setup. So I got my light and my light, right? And then my microphone, that's where my camera sits. But I got this screen. Look at this screen, boys.  I could watch so much porn right there. What have I been watching recently?   I could watch 34 inch porn right here. Watching a little more porn on that monitor.   You know what I just did right there? Not.  So here's how it works. There's four regular season games for Frat League basketball. Our first game, it was 60 to 10, us in with two minutes into the second half. So you play two 20 minute halves, and there's a mercy rule. If you're up by 50, they should end the game. Game didn't get recorded. I didn't have this idea until after. I actually got this idea from Jesser. I watched Jesser's like last season basketball. Like his basketball season video is sick. And I was like, wait, I'll just have someone come record this. So we're two and O now. There's four regular season games, then the playoffs. I think there's three games in the playoffs and then the championship. You guys also didn't see our two best players yet. Denny. And then there's another guy, Paluki, who didn't come out. He's really good at basketball too. Got some tough games coming up next to the game. Should be good too. I'll channel my inner LeBron Curry. As you saw, I dropped a whole six points. You know me. I know I'm bad at basketball.  I had about three or four dunks in the game. They just didn't get recorded. I think the cameraman like turned it off or something. It's whatever. I don't blame them. But yeah, that's it guys. I hope you guys enjoyed. This is something fun, something new. Also make sure you check out Denver. He's linked in the, you guys know BMO. He's been my editor for forever. He's always linked in the videos. He does all my wheel of mutts. He's the goat. But the other goat, there's two goats now. Is Denver and he's doing this video right now.  Make sure you guys check him out too. He's probably gonna be editing this video. So that's it for now guys. Stay tuned for our next game is in a week from today. I don't know when it's supposed to end, but it'll be a week from today. So I'll get you another one around the same time. Thanks for watching as always you guys. Take care.


Morning, thank you for coming. My name's Dennis Amson. I live in St. John'sbury. I'd like to thank all the supporters here, all of you in orange, who have come to stand with us to protect our children. We've had a lot of questions about who we are.  We're here on our own to voice our opinion on S55 of the bill as it now stands in the House. We feel that the amendments that have been added to the bill beyond the first five sections that were originally put forth will be completely ineffective and will violate the constitutional rights of Vermont citizens to self-defense and to bear arms, particularly the so-called High Capacity Magazine ban. It will not make our kids or anyone any safer. It will be unenforceable from a law enforcement standpoint. There are easily tens of thousands of this type of magazine here in our state, possibly more. There'll be no reasonable way to enforce such a ban. Further, these magazines do not make a firearm or a lethal. We want to be clear. Creating laws that criminalize what Vermonters have done safely for many years due to uninformed beliefs and perceptions is a betrayal to the people of our great state. This will have no impact on gun deaths, yet will restrict and prevent honest Vermont citizens who choose to exercise their constitutional right to protect themselves and their families. We, too, are parents, and we, too, want to protect our children in their schools, in our homes, and elsewhere. This bill not only does not do that, it actually makes it harder to protect kids and others through restricting the right to bear arms. Our message to our representatives and our senators is this, don't take away Vermonters' rights to protect themselves and their families, only to leave them prey to criminals who do not play by the rules. We want to offer our help and encourage our politicians to involve law enforcement when they are drafting legislation in areas that are familiar to police officers, officers who would give anything to be there to protect citizens but recognize that we cannot be everywhere all the time. Vermonters should not be restricted in their right to protect themselves. Further, any bill of this type that will, so obviously, be such a decisive piece of legislation needs to include public comment. To not allow that is akin to gun laws passed in the dark of night in other states such as New York. We are not in New York. At this time, I'd like to recognize Senator Joe Benning, who would like to say a few words. So good morning. O the irony of a criminal defense attorney standing shoulder to shoulder with law enforcement.  And I want to make clear before I begin that I am not a member of the NRA. I have never, to the best of my knowledge, received a donation from the NRA. And I've never owned a gun and probably never will. But I'm here because I am a fierce proponent of that document that binds all of us together as a society called the Vermont Constitution. Vermont Constitution does not grant you the right to bear arms so you can hunt. The specific language says you have the right to bear arms for the defense of yourself. And there is a tremendous difference between those two concepts. So when I see a bill come out that would deny an individual the right to protect themselves from an aggressor who will not abide by the legislation in question, that has me concerned deeply. Now just to talk for a moment about S55, the bill that brought us all here together this morning. When S55 was at Senate Judiciary Committee, which I am a member and vice chair, it had one provision in it. The state has been collecting arms for many, many years and had not the ability to sell them, to dispose of them, to clear out the storage space. For that reason, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a unanimous bill that said, this is how we will allow firearms to be sold. It was that simple until it hit the Senate floor. When it hit the Senate floor, two provisions were added to it. One was a provision for anyone aged 18 to 20 to not be able to purchase firearms. Now if one goes by the theory that anyone in that age group is irresponsible and shouldn't have a firearms, I would understand the logic of saying you may not possess such a firearm, but I do not understand the logic that prevents you from purchasing a firearm. So I asked myself, what is the calamity that has brought us here? School shootings, obviously. How will that provision actually prevent school shootings? I would argue it will not. It had another component to it, and that was background checks. And after looking at the 17 most known mass shootings in this country, including the schools in Parkland, Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Virginia Tech, those individuals who were the shooters either passed a background check or obtained their weapons from someone else who did. So I asked myself, how will this background check actually solve the problem of school shootings? And I come up with the conclusion it won't. Why is this important? In my district, the Caledonia district, the school in Newark, Vermont, is approximately 40 to 45 minutes away from the nearest state police barracks in St. Johnsbury where somebody to my left actually works. What is it we have done in this bill, as it left the Senate floor, that actually addresses the question, what do we do to prevent the immediate threat of harm to our school in Newark? The answer is absolutely nothing. Why aren't we here with signs protesting that we need to have more secure schools, that the doors to our schools should be narrowed to one entry point that is secure? Why are we not here talking about how to develop programs to teach children to recognize in each other, not only what they are doing to themselves to cause individual students to become isolated and alienated, oppressed, and sometimes committing antisocial behavior? Why are we not addressing that with this language? Why are we not talking about trying to figure out the ways that students can help look around and see something and then teach them how to say something without fear of retribution? The most heroic individual in the state of Vermont right now is not in Vermont. It's a lady named Angela McDevitt from Poughkeepsie, New York. She had the courage to stand up amongst her compatriots and say, something is not right here. I wanna make sure something bad doesn't happen. Why are we not promoting programs to help kids like her actually make a difference in what we are facing? I don't know the answer to that question, but I'm very frustrated knowing that our constitutional rights are under attack. And in fact, the proposed solutions will not produce the desired result. At best, the theory behind each and every one of them is, eventually over time, there will be less guns in the world or somebody with a mind that's already gravitated to the point of being a shooter will maybe not receive them or be delayed in receiving them. That doesn't help the students in Newark. And it shouldn't help any of the students in any of this state. So I am hoping that when the legislation does get further discussed on the floor, that it goes away or when it comes back to the Senate, that the 17 to 13 vote that it left the Senate on is turned around because we are not solving the problem that is immediately in front of us. I'm gonna hand it over to Jensen Wilhoit in the house and he'll tell you about the provisions that got added that made it even worse when it left the house. Hey, my name is Jensen Wilhoit. I'm a representative from St. Johnsbury and like Senator Benning, it also is a unique but I think also a very wonderful Vermont opportunity today. Again, because I too am a criminal defense and juvenile defender in Caledonia, Essex and Orleans County. And again, it was having funny remarks from some of the deputies from my neck of the woods. It's like nice to see you somewhere other than court. But again, but the point of the matter is, just as vigorously as Joe and so many of my compatriots on the defense bar have done various ways to try to represent our, those that we represent court under the 1st, the 4th, the 5th, 6th, 8th, 14th amendment. All of those are important. I too am someone that doesn't own a gun. I too am a member of the ACLU and I too believe in protecting all of our liberties. And that's why I am also here today because I cannot even imagine our state, the state of liberty to be able to restrict the rights granted through our, not only our US Constitution but even more so under the Vermont Constitutional Constitutional Article 16. And so in doing so, I'm proud to stand with law enforcement officers, sportsmen and women throughout the state of Vermont to protect those rights. But as Joe alluded to, we did receive the further amended S55 and the House Judiciary from the Senate and from there more was added. And as many in the room and the press know, there were a lot of things that were on the table that luckily at least this year were moved at least a little less far. However, a couple of things were added onto but the one I wanna specifically talk about was limits of capacity size of magazines. And again, I'm glad that I have sportsmen around too because I'll be honest with you, when I first saw that I'm like, well that seems to make sense.  But remarkably, it's amazing when you get information how that changes minds. Because if you look at the vote last week even in a very one-sided House on body, that only passed 79 to 66. So yet my caucus only has a third of the body. And so why is that? The reality is because it was completely ineffective. Not only it is true as I was alluded to by Dennis earlier, the amount of magazines that are above what would be now a legal amount throughout the state. But again, the round of the various completely legal and responsible rifles that are out there for sportsmen, especially competitive sportsmen, that that is their capacity size, that does nothing but actually take a fringe upon the rights of someone that is just a God-faring, law-abiding citizen. And further, if even the thought was, even if that's the case, I don't care, we need to get rid of these. Well, the fact of the matter is the people of Vermont actually are concerned that now the only people that will have these are the bad people. And so in fact, I just heard evidence even over the weekend that the store down in Brattleboro completely sold out of all of their magazines that would now be illegal. They're gone. They're done. So again, law-abiding citizens are taking note and trying to get what they need. And so if this was actually trying to limit something, it's quite the opposite. And so I do think the members of law enforcement that have come together today as civilians because who better to hear from how to best protect Vermonters than law enforcement? And more so, who better understands how to protect our schools than law enforcement? And I look forward and hope and challenge all of us to start listening to them, start listening to everyone that's actually out there trying to protect Vermonters so that we can keep this state safe. And certainly, S-55 is not the answer. I'm gonna turn it now back to Dennis who's gonna open up the floor to any questions people might have. First, we're gonna hear from Chief Aaron Cochran of the Hardwick Police Department. Good morning, folks. First, I'd like to say thank you for coming. There are multiple law enforcement officers throughout the room today that were not allowed to come in uniform. So I'd just like to recognize them as well and thank them for being here. I can assure you I am a generational Vermonter. My third great-grandfather fought with the 13th Vermont Regiment at Gettysburg Company H. He was an artillery company. Anybody who knows their history knows that the 13th Vermont Regiment was pivotal in Pickett's charge as they flanked General Pickett. So he fought because he was fighting for the people. My father fought during Vietnam in the Army. He as well is here today. And he is here, again, fighting for the people. I would say that that is my job. I took an oath more than 15 years ago to serve the people of this great state and protect your rights. That's why I am here today. And that's why Dennis and I have worked this over the past weekend. We have discussed it with representatives. And again, thank you for being here. And we're here for you. I'm glad to see that we have some support from you as well. Thank you. Thanks, I'd be happy to take any questions. How many law enforcement officers are part of this group or this effort? We don't know. It's a fairly new effort and it's growing by the hour. I can't give you a number. Sorry, I can't. You've been a report here today? Here today, we haven't taken a telly of the number that are here today. Sorry. Is there a name for the group? Vermont Law Enforcement Officers Against Gun Control. Or Vermont Law Enforcement Against Gun Control. How come you could come in uniform but some people couldn't? I can't answer that except that I'm the chief. Some that work obviously have to go with what their department policy and so on. Yeah, and I can add to that a little bit. It wouldn't be appropriate for me and some other officers to come here and claim to represent our agencies or departments. It's just, we're here as individual officers and as Vermont citizens who are really concerned about the safety of our kids and doing something that is actually going to work. Thank you. I see a hand. Yeah, yeah. So there are a couple of attorneys talking and also attorneys. You insist that this is unconstitutional and I'd like you to address that part because I completely disagree with you. And I think it's been challenged institutionally and found to be unconstitutional in other studies so I'm curious about that. Well, let me be very clear. The constitution that I'm talking about is the Vermont Constitution. I agree too. And the Vermont Constitution to the best of my knowledge has never had a challenge. It may shortly, but to date to the best of my knowledge has never had an exact challenge on this issue. I acknowledge that other states or the federal government have gone down the way of having conversation about what is legal and what is not. The Supreme Court in Heller actually said your right to bear arms exists. It is not sacrosanct. It is subject to restriction. But normally those restrictions come with a compelling state interest in language that is narrowly drawn to address the specific problem and is not written over broad. So my question back to you is what is there about the language as it currently exists that you believe will protect my kids in Newark Street School who can't get access to somebody 40 minutes away and a school shooting could be, well, I think every school shooting we have seen in the past 10 years would fit within that 40 minute time period. So we're gonna have that conversation and I would submit that the way it is written is overly broad and it does not directly address the problem that's in front of us. It takes a divergent turn to try to get gun control under the radar screen. But that's not the problem that is in front of us, I would submit. Any color? Okay, well, I have one more question. Number one, thanks to you for not the one of course you're not saying it was. Number two, there was one Vermont constitutional provision that was overturned and that would be the state versus, Rosenthal. Rosenthal. Susan? Rosenthal. Rosenthal, where the Vermont Supreme Court declared permanence repugnant to the Constitution. That was literally, I think, early Vermont Supreme Court decision. But that in itself makes the individual right stand. And we will be in court right against this unconscionable and unconstitutional bill. Thank you. You appreciate the statements, I think we are going to direct it more toward questions. And so does anyone have a question? You're Daniel Sword, Chief. As you survey the political landscape right now, what gives you hope that you can put this gene back in the bottle as it relates to these four provisions that are now being considered? Well, I can only speak to my personal experience. And I believe that anybody in this room that you see wearing orange can explain this as well, if not better than I can. And that is we have facts in the way of numbers and we have the truth on our side. History has shown that if you apply similar legislation to other locales, the more gun control that you enact in an area, violent crime has a tendency to go up as citizens are allowed to protect themselves through being concealed carry that is opened up in areas, violent crime goes down. If what we're going to do is make laws that are going to restrict citizens from being able to protect themselves, how is that going to affect the criminal that's going to prey on our citizens and our kids? It's going to have no effect on the criminal, it's only going to restrict those who work, want to protect themselves, want to protect their kids. Sir, if that's 55 does pass your reading today, what then? I would defer to Jensen. Well, no, Santa will be back in Jonesville House. Goes back to the Senate. It has been modified considerably since it left the Senate, so the Senate's going to be asked the question, do you agree, do you disagree, do you propose further amendments in the process? Beyond procedural, sir, if I might, excuse me, what does it mean for the folks here today? I understand that's not the goal, but if it does move forward, does your position change, does the message change, or does it continue? When one seeks to make an argument about preserving your constitutional rights, that argument should never change. You may have legislation out there that has gone through and somebody believes that was appropriate, but whatever means are necessary by way of legal challenges should continue. There will be people who are directly impacted. Let's take, for instance, the Century Arms folks in Swanton. You pass a bill that has magazine capacity limited, and all of a sudden a lot of your product that you've been manufacturing is no longer there. How do you react when you have suddenly lost the reason to employ 100 or so people? You filed litigation and you have to keep that fight up. I am hoping with that one component that my governor will actually change his mind on this bill because that is far beyond anything that left the Senate when he was talking about whether he could support it. I have yet to hear what his reaction would be on that particular issue, but it is the kind of thing that you raise that we all need to be paying attention to. The unintended consequences have not been fully discussed. A lot of these people are here today are angry because they have not felt like they've had their day at the legislature, and I can sympathize with that. So if there is something coming out of the house that ends up back in the Senate, we're gonna have a very healthy debate once again, and if for some reason or other it does get by the Senate, there'll be another healthy debate before the governor signs it, and if the governor should sign it, I am hoping that there will be every legal means expended in order to try to combat what has happened here. Could any of the police speak to the enforceability of the provisions in S-55? Specifically, there was a mention of the high capacity magazine restriction that that would be difficult to enforce. Could you just walk us through what that would look like? Well, these magazines, they're not serialized like firearms. If you make a pass a law that says, well, this item is now going to be illegal to sell after, let's say, July 1st, how is anybody going to know when that magazine was purchased? If somebody chose to go to New Hampshire and purchase one of those magazines and bring it back to the state, a law enforcement officer does not have any way of knowing when a magazine was purchased and when it was not. And as I said before, there's at a minimum tens of thousands of these magazines, possibly hundreds of thousands of these magazines in this state alone, it's completely unenforceable. Question for Senator Browning. If I could just add to that, law enforcement has had an extreme burden, as you know, over the past several years with the drug crime problem that we have in the state with heroin. And I can tell you crack cocaine is another up and coming problem that we've seen. And adding this burden onto law enforcement to track down magazines with over 10 rounds, with a capacity over 10 rounds is a burden that we can't hold. We are focused on the drug problem right now and we need to stay focused on that in order to change the landscape back to the Vermont and we all know. Senator Browning. Well, just hang on a second, I want to respond to that revision as well. And by the way, it's a lot of fun being able to step up to a podium after I usually cross-examine these guys. One other provision that is completely unenforceable is the background check. As one of my colleagues on the Senate floor said, if a transfer takes place in the woods, will anybody hear it? This legislation passes. And Paul Heinz wants to make another purchase in a parking lot. How will police ever know that that has happened unless Paul or the other person self-report? Now, I've been representing alleged criminals for 35 years. I don't know any one of them that would be going through the motions of self-reporting their activity. And that's one of the things I find so frustrating about this legislation. How will it protect the kids in Newark Street School? Maybe it won't. I'm sorry, Paul, go ahead. It's okay. Okay, so the underlying case to that is State v. Carlton goes back a few more years. And that really is the core of our right to carry unimpinished by permits and registration. Basically stated, the Supreme Court saw in our Constitution multiple places where the intent of carrying is at the heart of the right, and that if your intent is not full-onious or malicious or aggravated in any violent way, that your right is unimpinjable, cannot restrict it, period. And so it seems to me that this ban of any type on commonly reused types and accessories flies in the face of that and assumes full-onious intent on the part of the grand population just to catch a few criminals. So Bill, a bachelor's degree, three years in law school, then get past the bar exam, and you're good, okay? I wanna be clear that I know why you guys are making those statements. I said earlier that there hadn't been legislation on this subject. I'm talking about legislation on the proposals that are in S55. There have been Supreme Court opinions in Vermont that have delineated what the right is, but we've never challenged these specific provisions, and that's what I was talking about. I hope that's a little clearer. But thanks for that. Somebody said earlier that if there's more gun control that violent crime goes up, so I just wanna clarify, are you saying that if S55 passes that there will be more violent crime, or what kind of impact are you projecting? What I'm saying is that if this passes, the only people that are gonna be, how it's gonna work here in Vermont, the only people that are gonna be restricted are law-abiding citizens. The criminals are not gonna be restricted. So would there be a harm that you foresee as a result of this, people actually being injured? Well, I think it goes back to the old saying, never bring a knife to a gunfight. If you are gonna restrict a person's right to protect themselves and defend themselves and their family, yet you're not going to restrict, there's no way to restrict the criminal from doing that, then you're putting the average citizen at a disadvantage. May I? If a criminal comes into my house with a 30-round magazine and I'm limited to a 10-round magazine, he's got 20 more shots than I do. Dennis, have any, other than those who are here as individuals, have any police departments or other law enforcement organizations back to your organization in any official capacity? Yes, actually, Sheriff Bill Bonac, the sheriff in Orange County is the president of the Vermont Sheriff's Association. He wanted to be here today, but took him and could not make it. They have been very supportive over, the original bill as it was drafted with the first five sections until it started to morph into what we're talking about here today. How do you respond to critics who have said this organization and the name of it might confuse members of the public into thinking that state law enforcement agencies have taken an official stance on this political issue? Well, I would encourage folks to do a little research and read up. It's really that simple to know what you're looking into and what a group represents and who they are. Question in the back? This is not a talk about. This is what she heard. It's really about, thank you very much for being here. Is there any more information that I was going to take place this afternoon that compares that they wanted us out here before they had some kind of accountability at least publicly? Yeah. All I can say is that I received word from my leadership. I'm a Republican, so my leadership was informed that they received word from House leadership, which you hear that term means that Democrat leadership, that this bill's going to be taken up in the afternoon. It's not going to be in the morning. Nancy Johnson just moving on, all of a sudden, we're competing. So, but again, we can, that's all I know. We can see why the move happened, but that's why it moved. I do want to speak, if I may, too. Joe brought up some concerns regarding the piece, regarding background checks. And something that I brought up a little bit on the floor, but the more and more I thought of it over the weekend, it really has concerned me, too, about going back to some of those unintended consequences that was alluded to as well, and actually maybe the potential of actually hindering people's willingness to actually seek treatment, if needed, even medically treatment with respect to it. If someone does have, has a real pain or other issues and actually do amuse medicinal marijuana, a part of this proposal, too, is, as we all know, that any kind of transfer. And then again, this isn't a sale, too. I just want to make it even clearer from members of the press that was here, because I saw so many of the lines that private sales, this is so much more than that. This is also transfers, gifts.  You know, even then, you're going to have to find an FFL if you can find one to actually do this transfer for you as a mere gift. And the concern I have is for Vermonters, that quite frankly might, you know, because I know there's people at different places when it comes to marijuana, but at least under, in this body, we've been, I think, pretty much universal over the last few votes with respect to medicinal marijuana, and the need to actually have that as a way to treat persons. But under the guidelines of the background check, there's a section that you and the transfer have to consent to that you know that you are not unlawfully possessing or using marijuana. It even has a bold print and big bold black letters makes it clear that even if your state has legalized marijuana for medicinal or recreational use, it's still against federal law. And so it directs that if you're doing that, you still have to check, no. So think about the reality here. So then you really have one of two choices then. Either if you're someone that is treating yourself that way, then you need to either lie, which on the next page of things, you're subduing yourself to a felony for perjury with the federal government. I think all of us who have watched things have happened recently and also recently. I mean, that's always how people get caught in federal cases. Either that happens to you and that individual. Or so then you lie about it so that we can have the gun or you don't protect yourself. And I don't wanna put anybody in that situation. That doesn't seem right or appropriate. The Parkland Shilger, which was a tragic situation in Florida, 39 complaints were filed against an individual, including the FBI, local law enforcement, school officials, what he is, a student there. Didn't government fail us and had nothing to do with the guns? 39 complaints, I just said that I was in Florida from 10 days down there and I was up 30 miles from that school, I'm just talking to strangers. Not one person ever said anything about the guns. I just said our government just failed. Another point that could be made regarding the tragedy in Florida is a shooter did not use high capacity mags. All right, no one's gonna stop somebody. Oh yeah, we don't have time for that. Are there any more questions for the press? Other else? I do have to go vote on those amendments on this. I know. I'm just gonna take a swing at that because I wanna make sure everybody here knows we actually have done something in the building to take care of the problem you're talking about. And that is S-221. It's the only bill we have right now that would look into the developing mind of a shooter and provide authorities with the ability to try to interdict. I can't stress that enough. It passed the Senate unanimously. I hope it gets through the House unanimously and we actually come out of here working to provide protection for those kids in the Newark Street School and in every other school in the state. We'll take one more question and then we're gonna wrap it up. The other piece. You've had about 10 questions. She's the reporter at this conference. So what about everybody else? This is what you've been doing to us. Maybe a lot of us have testified. You're pushing us away. Let some of the other people over here. Maybe take the press. Why no hearings? Exactly. Hold on. We're gonna take your question too. The other piece of S-225 that has not been mentioned is the ban on bump stocks. Is that something that the leaders of this press conference would support? I can tell you, regarding bump stocks, when after Las Vegas, that's where the world became aware of bump stocks. And if you speak to any serious firearms enthusiast, I would say many law enforcement, I can speak to all law enforcement, trainers, people that have worked in tactical environments, they're gonna tell you that a bump stock is a novelty item. There's a reason why you don't see bump stocks on SWAT teams, for example. They do make a gun sound like a machine gun. They do allow that gun to spew more bullets faster out the barrel, but they don't increase the lethality of a gun. Imagine if the Las Vegas shooter from his purge had used a bolt action scope rifle, like a majority of hunters here in Vermont use are similar to what they use. How much more deadly that could have been. You know, that's a simple hunting type gun, not a tactical gun. The bump stock is a novelty item. Nobody got too bent out of shape about it. Even the NRA was on board with the bump stock and reclassifying them as a different type of firearm, much like a machine gun, say. But it then morphed from bump stocks onto what we have today. But though you would support that piece of the bill to add the state law? As a group, I can't speak to that. Again, you asked about numbers. Personally, do you support that piece? Personally, I guess I haven't got too bent out of shape about it, but it's getting to the point, to the principle of the matter at this point. And we have one more question. Sir, these questions of volume, not as law enforcement, not as attorneys, as private citizens of Vermont, how do you feel about this house, the people's house, excluding the citizens from giving testimony on S-55? How does he cross up to S-55? As I mentioned before, to me it's kind of like dirty pool. I think that especially on an issue like this, whether it's gun control legislation, marijuana, same-section marriage, you name it, if it's an issue that happens to be just very divisive, then our politicians need to hear the people and hear both sides, or however many sides there are. I want to thank you all for coming. We really appreciate your support, and I'll let the politicians blow over it. I want to thank you all for coming as well, and as a non-gun owner, I know why I'm not allowing any of you to testify.  All seriousness, in answering your question, this is the people's house. It always will be the people's house. And the people should have the right. Not the press's house. Thank you very much for coming. Thank you.
