Very tricky, very fun. I guess my first question is how many of you in your institutions, organizations, have tackled the competency framework and learning plans so far? Anyone? And part of the reason I ask is because I sat in a room last year about this time, right? And we all were like, competency frameworks, cool. What do we do with them? And so we've been working throughout the last year with several of our clients and looking at the competency frameworks, really trying to identify when it's useful, how, kind of leading back to yesterday, how we can be innovative with that tool, and then also thinking ahead about what else is needed. Where can we push the boundaries there? Where can we extend that? So we wanted to talk for a few minutes today about kind of how to get started with competency-based frameworks and learning plans. Thanks. This is Courtney Bentley, our VP of services, and I'm Claire Misha, director of support, by the way. Hi, everyone. We're here representing anything today, as you could tell by the giant logo on the screen. So I'm going to start off just talking a little bit about where our sort of read of the pulse is so far. So overall overarching industry trends with CBE. So definitely, K-12 schools lead the charge. It's easy for them because they often have some sort of curriculum, state standard framework that, OK, here's where I can build out a framework within Moodle. And then from there, explore how you actually want to implement that, tie that to courses, activities, and so on. Worked with a couple different schools so far. They've dumped me this big spreadsheet of standards. Sometimes they break you down by grade level, sometimes by subject matter. Depends kind of usually once you get to high school, it kind of divides up into subject matter. So that is makes you have something to start with off as a foundation. That's sort of the hardest part. In the workplace and in businesses and in corporations, they are more eager and readily able to implement. They may have training programs that they've been trying to e-learning a fi and bring them into the digital age rather than having giant binders full of things and then testing and compliance, tracking, and all of these things. So things like new hire on-boarding, product training, your workplace harassment, and all of those things that you're obligated to do. And so it's easy to translate that to a competency framework. And the nice part is then they can track that with learning plans, see where people are, what they still need to complete. And then in higher ed, it's a little bit more of sort of the wild west and uncharted territory. They all want to do something with it, but they don't really know where to start, what the right approach is. So we've been really taking a hands-on approach, working with these schools to talk through what they would like to do within Moodle. A lot of these, one school we worked with, they want to take their sort of teacher ed portfolio. They're really sick of Taskstream, which I'm sure some of you in the room are also have one opinion or another of Taskstream. So they don't want to pay for Taskstream anymore and they want to translate what they've been doing in Taskstream into Moodle. And the new competency framework makes that possible. So we've been working with them to build that out and allow the students to kind of attach their evidence of what they've been doing in the classroom and their field placements and showcase that in Moodle for all to see, outside of creditors, the whole nine yards. And then also programmatic assessment. I've worked with masters in history, psychology program. They have their outcomes and they've been doing some sort of crazy manual assessment process, paper-based or rubric-based or something, maybe partially using Moodle where they want to know, are the students actually graduating meeting these outcomes? Are we doing the job they're paying us for? So we've been seeing a lot of that in the higher ed space as far as approaches to how they might adopt a competency framework and where else they can take it. So okay, great, you have a list of outcomes or a list of standards, then what? So we've been really, step one has been to sort of meet with them and give them the overarching tutorial. What is the competency framework? How do you develop scales to be used by that framework? How, showing them how the frameworks can be linked to courses, specific activities, and then the student-facing side of that. What does a learning plan look like? How would the teachers interact with a learning plan? How do the students interact with a learning plan? So that's sort of step one. They may have seen some of the, some of Mary's videos on HQ about it and they want to know a little bit more, have a more specific conversation about their institution. So step one, sort of give them the lay of the land. Step two, is kind of see what you got. So those examples I already talked about. It's helpful if you have some existing set of standards or outcomes to work with. So the K-12, the grade eight math standards or the psychology department outcomes. And then in the workplace, thinking about what sort of training programs initiatives you want to be able to track and see people's progress through and how they could benefit from taking something, maybe paper-based or somewhat manual and use Moodle to their advantage to kind of take that to the next level. So then the next step is really to play with it. Flesh out the standards. I've been kind of, it's very scary for some of them to show how to build out the framework. So I've helped by mocking up a couple initial examples and then walking them through, okay, so now you wanna do grade nine math. Let's walk through how that gets fleshed out. Experiment with how the pieces fit together and get them thinking about, are you gonna link these to courses? Are you gonna link them to activities? What sort of implementation path do you think is feasible for your goals for the competency framework? So just a few examples here, I was saying eighth grade, eighth grade competencies here and so you could see language arts, math, science, by grade level, by subject matter, it all depends. This is our higher ed example, so the same school, I've been working with them on their teacher license portfolio framework and one also for, they have a masters in history program, so they wanna take what they've been doing and help Moodle help them, allow Moodle to help them. And then, so here's drilled down into the framework, fleshing out the different domains of the teacher portfolio, the different performance criteria that they have to prove that they have met. Workplace, a good example, compliance wise, OSHA training can be translated into a framework and then, so once we show them the framework, show them what it could look like, they get all excited and then you kinda have to pause and sometimes they have to swallow the hard truths of, well, if you really wanna use this to its full potential, there's some work that has to be done, we were talking a little bit about this yesterday, using Moodle for all those courses that are being taught in that program, enabling activity completion in those courses if you want those commonancies in the framework to be automatically triggered. Some, in higher ed, in my experience so far, they're not ready to take it down to the activity level yet. They're probably gonna play doing some stuff manually with the student attaching evidence, teachers evaluating that and I think they'll get there, but this is sort of getting their feet wet and what they overwhelmingly are excited about, like, oh, how can we, now it's kind of lighting a fire, how can we get the rest of the faculty who have maybe been dragging their feet into Moodle doing more, having students submit work there that can then be tied back to the framework. So the next, and as I was saying, adding that complexity, taking it farther, I've been working with a lot of schools to kind of introduce what could be with them and starting slow with what they've got, but obviously it's much more powerful than that it can be much more sophisticated. So Courtney is gonna talk a little bit more about that. So Claire brings the reality and then I kind of introduced the crazy beyond that. So I wanna talk a few minutes about some of the options for taking it further. Any of you in the room who know me know that I like to get into things and sort of beat on them as successfully as possible and that's what I did with the competency framework. One of the things that Claire was mentioning was the idea of having the courses set up so that there is the completion tracking which then in turn is gonna trigger those scales within the competency framework, within the learning plan so that it all kind of is scaffold, it all flows in together. The automatic rating is gonna take careful planning, lots of consideration in order to make that happen. So really coming up with a plan across the board about how you're gonna integrate that, how you're gonna implement that for these learning plans for these competency frameworks. Most of the time we're finding that with the automatic rating, so if you're not gonna use the roles and some of the other capabilities so that there are reviewers who need to go in, take a look at what's been submitted and then select the appropriate rating. If you want it to be a little more automagical, it's really gonna benefit from that hierarchical structure is what we're finding most of the time. So this is just an example you'll see in another couple slides. We're using kind of a multi-level here. I broke it down just so that you could see it in terms of kind of that main competency and then sub one and sub two. And then each of those subs kind of has those foundational pieces to it. And you'll see that play out in a next slide in a minute. Using the competency rules. So that's one of the things that was sort of hidden for a while in the documentation. I actually dug it out of the original developer documents and then now it's been added. So most of you have probably seen this, but the competency rules really are gonna give you a lot of capability in terms of how you wanna handle those automatic triggers. So allowing for completion of multiple child competencies to then automatically trigger the one above it. So allowing your students, your learners, even your teachers as they are kind of combining elements across courses or across programs to sort of see how those flow up and work together. So I build these foundational skills and then those might trigger a sort of a higher level within the competency. So trigger one of those scales above it. The other one that I think is really, really interesting and we've been looking at this a lot in terms of learner driven types of competency framework. So using the points competency rules. Does everybody know that that's hidden in there? Am I the only one that was like, wow, this is awesome? Yeah, so basically what this allows you to do is to set up the competencies. So you can have a whole handful of them that or courses, whatever the case is that flow into meeting a competency. And as you can see here, my screen is really tiny even with my bifocals on. You can see that you have multiple options here. So option one, option two, option three, option four. So basically the learner might have different ways that they could achieve that competency. It may be that one of the courses in Moodle is completely self-paced and that might be worth a certain number of points toward the competency. You may have micro learning where you've broken out kind of smaller segments that work toward that competency. And so they may need to do both of those in order to get sort of the points. So basically what you're allowing is for the learner to kind of go in, determine which thing is gonna best meet their needs and their learning goals. And then it uses those point values to help them achieve that competency. So I feel like there's a lot of power in this. I, hopefully this is new for a couple of you and kind of get some gears turning about how this might work. I think again, you know, I'm biased, but I think this is gonna be really powerful in those instances where you wanna set up the learning plan, you wanna tie in a lot of different options for learners and then you wanna flip it so that they have the option to go in, dig around, figure out what's gonna meet their needs. Now again, it's not gonna work in all of our institutions, right? I mean, let's face it in all of our higher eds, like there's a curriculum and this is how you meet it. But when we're thinking about competency, and I think a lot of those conversations that are going on right now, you know, Sieben and all of these other places where they're really talking about competencies, talking about changes in higher education, I think this is a really interesting way that we can begin to explore that. So what does this look like to the learner? I told you I'd bring you back to an example of what this might look like. So here's where we've put together their learning plan with that multi-level. And so as you can see at the bottom, foundational three and four, they've got a foundational rating. So they've achieved those with that foundational level. And then that's automatically triggering that sub two for a basic rating. You'll notice that the rest of those, they've got one more foundational met. So that main one at S1 is sort of waiting on them to achieve all of those other competencies. And then they would essentially have met that main one. Does this make sense? Is this, okay. Any questions? Yeah. This one I had just the dependencies. I didn't pull the point sample. I don't know. Do you know, Mary? So the question was if we're using the point system, what does that look like to the learner in their learning plan? And I think it would just show them which ones they've met. It wouldn't show them marked for any of the others. I'll pull up my demo box and we'll can look at it. How's that? So next challenges. I feel like these are kind of the things that have been bubbling as we've been working on these. I think, you know, as I mentioned, I think yesterday to some people, I think reporting is obviously a place where we can really expand this. For example, two main sort of reports that I think people are going to need and are beginning to look for things like a competency coverage report. So can I go in and see a clear shot of the competency frameworks with all of the components and where those map out? You can do it on a limited basis, but I think a one sort of clear shot of that is gonna be really helpful for people. Also things like a competency coverage unmapped items. So kind of the reverse of that. So where do we have holes in what we're offering that aren't connected back to those competencies? So just a couple of examples. I think also deepening the connections, making this more granular. I mean, we see with other similar types of systems. For example, competencies all the way down to an individual question level. Seems kind of crazy to me, but I think eventually we may get there. We may push there a little bit. I can see some ways that we can do it with tagging currently and some ways to bring it together just with the tools that we have right now. But I think that the community will push that a little bit more as we get more mature in what we're trying to do. And then I think the last one is just the biggest question in people's minds is the ability to set thresholds to trigger those ratings. Because if you've worked with this already, you basically set the default. And so completion at any threshold triggers for that sort of default rating. And so I think people are beginning to say, that's always one of the questions they come up with is, okay, well, if they make a 75 and they've completed it, that's kind of okay, they've met the standard. But what about the students who really achieve higher? And that's where that manual rating is gonna come in. Questions, thoughts? Hopefully this has sparked some interest in your minds to go dig around. Like I mentioned, I have my demo box. I'll pull up my site and we can dig around if anybody has questions, wants to look at this. Or once you get home later and you play around and have questions for us, feel free to email me, pick our brains. We learn with you as more and more schools begin to experiment with this. So we're having fun. And we'd love to hear what you're doing with competencies too. So please find us and share that because we'd love to hear it. All right, thanks. Thanks, Erin.


eople for the whole year is a sense of of the desire to move along with exploring doing the pilot you know because we still need to come back with you see with a lot of details and and and we're not going to come back with those details all in one shot i mean as we develop them i mean we'll be checking in with you before we actually take a final vote have something from all our department heads that are going to be involved in the process which would be public works which would be police and fire what their recommendation would be anything and because i must be talking to different people of this town like are you saying the police department said they want to do it and they want to do a town-wide overnight parking then lift so what i'm saying is i don't mean to put you on the spot that's something that normally in the course of business would have that before us um just so we can you know like like if the dpw director the police chief fire chief and or any other department head was told we'd like a report from you although you hate to put them in something that's sort of a political buzzness you don't mean to do that maybe not so much way in an opinion but to say if you're talking about a total town-wide overnight parking ban lift um and you're talking about it for four months or whatever um it's no problem we can do it it's going to be very cumbersome for us and this is what it will entail i mean i i'd like to kind of some report from our department heads um before we before we before we do the pilot for sure yeah you know i mean yes yes me in fact and the potomies like you hate you know what it's it's it's going to be just as to me it's a bookkeeping they're bookkeeping functions going to be just as difficult to um hold money back versus reimburse it i don't know but anyway it's not that's something that i don't like but yeah mr heim sure if i'm using excellent may simplify the board's discussion allow the town council to be the bad guy uh defeat you pay for overnight parking is access to a spot and you can have access to that spot all year round you don't have access to that spot just because there's an overnight parking pilot or not in other words you don't i just want to be clear you don't have to decide to prorate the fee because people may or may not access that parking spot in the municipal lot throughout that period of time the reason they're doing it may be changing a little bit but i just want to make clear that our fees are related to the costs of running things that's the reason why we have to obviously have a bit of often the discussion so there may be piece of information that i don't i'm not really too in terms of why but i just wanted to note that you don't have to prorate it if you don't want to i should yes i mean i think an easier way is to just i mean when i don't know if we have to notify people but just give people the heads up when they go to get there because i don't know how many of these we actually have but just say oh just so you know there could be an opportunity to park in the street and i think most people are going to be more excited by the prospect of being able to park on the street than worrying about that they overpaid for their their municipal permit and again we're i think way as we've seen already way too early in the process to be even to even be able to tell people what the the permits going to look like and if we waive the if we take away two-thirds of the fee for everybody and then it turns out that the the pilots just in east arlington then i mean the bit of a windfall to people that use the the other lots who will be using the lots um so i i don't know what the at what point we have to make a decision if we're going to reduce the fee but i mean i think again it's pilots it's a limited engagement we don't have the details yet i think we just go for what the fees as they are and again maybe let people know that just so you know you're paying this it could be an opportunity for you to park in front of your house but it does seem a little bit more of an administrative burden to to try to correct it in the aftermath i hear you know except that i mean i can i think for some people i mean you know you have to pay the 360 up front you know and and and the 240 you know could make a difference to them i mean it's about i think it's about 60 i mean somewhere between 60 80 people mean and and um i i guess i would rather deal with me um the complexity of not charging them mean then the um this may have someone you know who um could use the money when i guess we could refund it mean um and so we could refund it mean so that's that's the deal too i mean so i guess it doesn't matter the complexity of of not charging them or refunding them later on so so um instead of waiting for the comments to come to me i'm going to reach out from one for one for my colleague this is of course any thoughts yeah thank you mr chairman yeah i i i think and i understand your your concern here and providing people with some certainty that if we are going to implement the pilots that maybe there's some sort of adjustment but i think just looking at my three colleagues who haven't been in as many discussions as you and i have been about the potential pilot they don't know what they're voting on yet in terms of the scope of a pilot and and and what it will be so i think to be fair to them you know unless we have something before them where it's definitive okay this is this is what's going to happen whether it's townwide and we get a vote and i think that to just to be honest with the other members i that that's what we're leaning in terms of a recommendation but until there's a vote we probably shouldn't disturb the status quo in terms of the fees and i think you know unless we got a vote before the end of the year um it probably makes sense just to keep the fee structure in place but that puts you know maybe the onus on you and i to to present a little bit more to the board between now and the end of the year but it just i think it's hard for them to react to whether we should adjust something when i think what i'm hearing is that you're open to receiving information on a pilot you may even be open to voting for it but until you know what you're voting for you don't want to disturb the fees and then so i i can i i understand that yeah that's right it's fine and i just know that the complexities mean that dsl is in the number of people we'll probably have to work with this is such that we're not gonna be able to get anything solid by the end of the year meeting so we were very we were very happy me for everyone to conclude that it would be better need to wait until after winter uh to start the pilot and that gives us plenty of time to work through the details and also have more meetings with the community being both formally and informally you know to get to get their feelings and then if we are leaning towards moving forward get by and i see your fingers up mr well i guess a quick question i do the rudimentary calculation of 240 times 80 and that's about 19 000 and i just i guess would ask the town manager is there anything if we were to vote to implement that change is there any loss that that revenue would impact i don't know where those fees go directly into if they just go into the general budget or if we did that and then it turned out that you know it was a more limited engagement and is there that going to be lost to the town in any way other than the fact that it's 19 000 that we don't have mr sure um the those fees go directly into the general funds or they're just part of the big mix if i could continue to comment i do think before we make a decision about what we would do with the fees it would be better to have a more coherent policy for what the pilot is going to look like how broad it would be across town i also think in terms of fees or whether you charge somebody the full fee up front and then they can still park in that spot or they can park from their house whatever you know they they may want to decide themselves i don't think it's clear to me that having the treasurer's office or the select board's office having to collect fees then more than once during the year is actually a good thing uh so there's some major decisions about the scope of this um and if i could just finally address one thing that um slipboard member mahan asked i know that the police department had preferred that it be townwide i also know in speaking to the chief that they're capable of doing it within a smaller area so i think there was a preference expressed but it wasn't an absolute i think that does go to the issue of getting more feedback from departments before we go forward with anything in particular and that's why i pulled back and said it wasn't you know because we were earlier on saying and so understand and the reason for having this conversation early was that if we were going to ask the the treasurer or whoever deals with the administrative aspect of it we wanted to have them be aware of it i mean at least a couple of months in advance and not you know throw this at them i mean with weeks or or less you know to deal with it so it's trying to be proactive you know i mean so so i think we're not going to take a vote okay so so that'll save us a little time you know and um and so we'll go on to um the 13th item which is a discussion of the mpo 2022 municipal election ballot in a court committee i just wanted to let you all know that the it was the chair's prerogative to vote for desbyte and and there was no there was no one to vote for he was like no competition so i went ahead and voted for it um summer though but i didn't want to note that me arlington has been the um has had its over um there's a term for this is um at large it has had an at large position me for a number of years and there was a little concern or a little question as to whether we should have gone for it last year me and the top manager i think correctly recommended that we do so you know summerville has had this position for a long time you know and i am of the mind me that we should try to get more communities involved with the mpo um and and one can't say well me maybe there should be some rotation me on the intercore position without thinking that there should be some rotation me at that large position so i just wanted to kind of flag that in and because i think what that will do is that it'll get the communities working together even more me the intercore communities do work together um pretty well me uh each of the sub regions mean have their meetings mean and and i think some are more interacting than others but my understanding is that the intercore works together very well in and uh but i'd like to see more of the communities doing that i think sort of pushing for there to be me some rotation um actually departments would be good so i just wanted to flag that as as something as from my position on mpo um is something that he i'll be pushing for you know um so that was just there was a little hook in here to bring that up so that's the discussion any questions comments i never know your middle name now i do i'm just gonna say that but i didn't tarot yeah well i was thinking about changing it to d y'all because like there's me i guess d valiant i'll stick it like let it be that gets me so so so i was like what was that the simpsons homer never knew his middle name it was homer j simpson and he found out and it was j actually there's a good trivia question and none of you will get it what is chandler m bings middle nine maryl maryl is that what you said and that's what it is because my sister's my sister is albira maryl and you most people don't get that okay that's sorry that's why not that's probably a lot of tv trivia we're winding up here i know if one in december i'd are gathering if we play that trivia game i i call mr herd as my partner there you go you know so correspondence receives me i'm unclear stop line at sims road light submitted by break in refer to check second so well questions concerns all right so on motion by mrs mahan they received a second by mr herd mr haun mr herd yes of course yes mr haun yes this is mahan yes thank you mr d yes all righty uh so uh we have new business me but right now i'm going to pull it a little bit out of order to say is there anyone that wants to be in the second open forum raise your hand all righty i think we're all set here so we'll now do this new business mean and um this is no thank you sir it's a chairman one item i wanted to let the board know and the large public know that the votes uh regarding amended bylaws from the 2022 annual town meeting were approved by the attorney general's office municipal lawyer and they've been duly posted for i believe the two week period by the town clerk's office that means that all the amended bylaws should be now in effect we'll have to work on updating them over the next couple of weeks with the exception of three items three things were held for further review articles 11 18 and 30 that's amendments to our domestic partnership bylaw our proposed pesticide registration bylaw and a zoning bylaw with respect to requiring solar and certain EDR projects so we know that these are all important matters the attorney general's office municipal law unit does a wonderful indulge in review should they reject any portion of these bylaws i'll certainly bring it to the town manager's attention and the board's attention thank you thank you sign Mr. Polar no new business thank you thank you so help us thank you just a quick item um i'd like to draw my select board college's attention uh to the invitation i think you have received to review um and meet with the chair of the affordable housing trust fund um the upcoming action plan so i think you all have a copy of the draft action plan that's being submitted to us for approval at our november seventh meeting um and just for members of the public and select board representative to the affordable housing trust fund board of trustees um and i'm really excited about about the about the report i think it's a really interesting document that i learned a lot in this process about the dynamics of the affordable housing equation um both in our own tune and otherwise but my my new business tonight is just to make sure that you all got that and to encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to read this pretty substantial report in advance and to meet with the chair miss karen keloher or and or kelo line them up from the planning department to address any concerns and questions individually that you may have in advance of our november seventh discussion and vote thank you mr chair sir no new business thank you mr coursey no new business say that five times fast no new business thank you thank you and and for me uh two quick pieces me one is that eight um i would like to on a agenda pretty soon they start thinking about uh the um i'm sorry i'm blanking out because it's just getting so late eight um mr heim we talked about the issue you know it is um oh my goodness i'm blanking out on it completely uh uh i want to say domestic partnerships but it's not domestic partnership it is oh gosh i'm just completely blanket i'll come i'll come back to it me so the the second item um is that um want to um at our next meeting you know bring in our former cop well former members of the psych board need to um address their feelings about marie's retirement you know so so um right now i mean um i have three on board i mean there are four more to go i mean i imagine i'll get i mean most of them so um with that i mean i'd like us to consider me starting about half hour early you know so how do people feel about that next meeting is on the 7th of November 7th yes mr how much that would be at six 45 yeah great um so um so now let's see so it has to do just for getting the term it has to do with speech means so government speech that's the term so um so um so i'd like to put on the agenda fairly soon i mean um uh discussion you know about about government speech policy you know and so um when i talk briefly with mr heim about this which is why i was reaching out to him you know is is that um we could either work on something and have him review it and he and he offered to work on something to give us a little launching point you know and then have us go from there you know so so um yes just for the most effective use of everybody's time if we could have something before us first because like when you say government speech i have no idea and it's because my brain is like totally seized together um like like i i don't want my if i had my preference i wouldn't have an agenda item that just says government speech and we just kind of found her around about what government speak means to us if something could be before us in terms of what it is we're being asked um right or if you want to um if you're asking all of us to send to attorney heim our thoughts on government speech you know what i'm saying yeah right so i'd rather i think the best use of all of our time is if we do have something in writing beforehand on its agenda item and then is this you you're asking us to approve what government speech is or well i think i want to have a discussion about me how it is we what a government speech policy would look like uh in town mean and so so um so i'll ask mr heim mean to work on something and i'll ask my colleagues um mr helms and mr corsie mean if they would like to um input on that to feel free to do so um um with mr heim mean um should they both decide to do so then mr heim would let me know to what extent i should be a part of that conversation mean if it's just one of them then i can be a part of the conversation um and and and i'll touch base mean and then we'll decide how to bring it back um to the board you know so so and when i said us work on something it'd probably be me a couple select board members presenting to mr heim first and

The last spot is here performing really well we got dragon versus deoxys all these names giving me given shivers down my spine by the way I mean, this is a world finals run back that we are just about to see as well same character in Joker different game entirely in Combat 11, you know Fox they're looking to make a statement and win two world finals with Joker in two Separate games rewind. I mean everyone here wants to see rewind do well He's got a diverse character pool natural skill is off the chain And this is definitely going to be one of our more competitive matches today rewind has been able to defeat Sonic Fox in Tournament before can he do it This is the ultimate test here. You talk about it. This was the grand finals of the last championship for another realm games Let's go. All right, so we have Joker versus Jackie. We've seen enough Jackie at this point You know what she can do upgrade is she's gonna have that crazy pressure on deck Right now Fox Really who gets the momentum early on both of these characters can ride that wave so hard It's the infernacy what Sonic brings the table as far as the options against these leaps that we're gonna be seeing out of rewind I mean rewinds a place. No stranger to be some high execution float style characters Let's not forget injustice to he had one of the best blue bills in the business Executions not really something you have to worry about but Fox Really loves the set up characters right now though Immediately a second bar they can spend give me those launches and the third one just stay nice and safe rewind In a good position now Fox getting clipped and that's gonna be a clean round one And that was just a feel-out phase up until that one strike from rewind and we saw him go from half screen to corner the Positioning and just a clean execution of rewind there to take the first round the massive swing of the two one Get out of the airspace and Joker's bringing everything to the table. He's got the crowbar He's got the wheelchair. He's got check in the boxes. He's even got the pop it I mean if there's one thing Joker has it's safety and the range combined makes him such a impressive character Get out of the airspace Joker has got some pretty decent options Shutting down that jump right now afford one ender knock down again Remember three of those the crushing blow bird boy beat down is gonna come online a grab I mean joke. He's got such amazing mids and amazing buns of the grab is so scary Because that forward one is so oppressive on that knock down Fight Gonna find around just to start us off here in the crushing blow watch your dome from downtown is rewinded once again Applying that pressure so fast breakways gonna be forced from Fox when they've lost 50% life already That is not a good look and now rewind the tech attempt from Fox trying to dive in there Make the dash cause it to miss didn't quite work out MD low that low so unsafe, but such high reward If you get a knock down with a throw what a late shrapnel there by rewind to try to get sonica press those buttons And I'm liking the dashes we're seeing the options against the leaps and catches out the max damage They're down to the breakaway and tries to paint on exactly that the throw opened up the one to and catch it On the crushing blow as well sonic with the lead The second Joker gets that fatal blow he becomes such a scary character A grab wonderful tech from Fox One clean opening remember this is Jackie 950. Hell she has got a little bit less than Joker I mean we barely One of the absolute scariest characters in the roster once he's got fatal blow He's one of the only characters in the game that can cancel it cancelling it leads to a mix up You fear that forward throw Joker's one two three It's safe confirmable and if you expect to grab we'll delete health That's exactly what happened there against rewind and almost in a risk You saw sonic take right there off of that same exact option risking the one to one which is a full combo punishable On block string as long as you crash the high ender, but you saw the damage out But that box got taking the risk of the launcher there It's almost like the character was made for sonic box, you know One of the art types that we don't really see an MK 11 We didn't talk about the law come into this that this is a set of character instant jump one However, the setups do sometimes come with a price pretty high execution of the higher damage We know folks they've got the execution speaking of it to one Even more it's just layers upon layers actually man you get one knocked down You want to lead it to the next one that said rewind one bar of Mia and a fatal blow can definitely be enough to win Jokers jump into us Sonic did that jump kick nice and early get those active frames out there a lot harder and tired and this He loves playing neutral, but he loves setups and one thing that this character excels at is the setups We're also the resetting of the neutral that you see in all these jack-in-the-box especially here in the corner The corners is Gary place to be jokers got insane corner damage The grabs as well just really coming back to how good mids and buttons Jokers has the grabs come crazy scary Safe on block Sticks out again going into the back before instead, but right now taking a turn away rewinds Gonna get a little breakways possible box not playing any games and the wonderful throw tech as well Rewinds gonna be really careful sticking out but does this help a confirmed breakway so important denying the damage and Denying crushing blow you've got to do it and you see there everything on block going to that jack-in-the-box From the sky Sonic box on pressure Look look look over something to with punish every time does that jack-in-the-box is that perfect spacing to try to see something We've tried to get some of the two but there comes rewind on the offense gets it with the low It's gonna be up the pound here nothing to keep it basic not taking too many risks now is rewind But with this help that's it may have to eventually yeah, these individual hits are gonna make folks wet just yet Speaking of which spend a little one Trying to be a safer possible just resetting the new hole that's what not an amazing trade at this point Especially how weak he is he has to make a big play and he has to do it right now Has a fatal blow but Fox does as well anything on block is going to feel a little cancel And just like that that should be the chip out and Fox goes up to oh on rewind It's layers upon layers like we just talked about Joker being able to cancel his fatal blow meant the second rewinds a Chippable life and no last breath was there that fatal blow cancel sealed space There was really nothing he could do about that going back to character select even if rewind doesn't change characters He might do but this is more just a momentum reset I think for sure he's thinking about it looks like he's hovering over some of his characters I saw a Liu Kang there I saw a Kung Lao going back to that character pool that we discussed rewind He's not a one-trick pony by any stretch Not one bit and these two have I've had a close record throughout the pro competition just three two boxes favor This is this is one of the few players that has actually been able to go toe-toe with Sonic looking at Sonic's record Against everybody else this you look at three two and you're like that is pretty dang good considering I mean Fox they had to go into this tournament immediately fighting for their life the really insane Stabs and now against rewind looking a little bit more manageable, but although Fox they're the favorite to win this tournament But the fact they use variation to Joker that's still kind of a wild card in itself It's a tricky variation. They're not everyone has a lot of experience against no pun intended whatsoever in there as well We want to make it the switch to outtake Johnny here We'll see if that increased range the fireballs might be able to make it work Fox look for some of those trades sticking out that to one. You can just see the rate Oh, yeah, let's joker go toe-to-toe Almost to confirm the the setup actually were just in this cushion to fall follow for the one to one The thing is what they wanted right there Everyone's gonna play a lot more of a grounded game which almost I think plays into Fox's hands here But we'll see how it develops Where's the jump in a good go to try and take that grab but not quite working out Jokers down for Now back to some real estate with punish Space in there by everyone. We're in the corner to wake up doesn't get the punish though I could have been around Quickest microcrouch. Well, I think we've seen in the tournament. Yeah I mean the round was one anyway But that was the read was there just not quite the punishment But that it really matters speaking of which not gonna blow the pressure blow just yet wants to build towards the bird boy beat down instead or Wait for that pesky defensive meter to disappear on the side of rewind no pick up But you know that that that rising star is so quick on recovery that you know even on breakaways It recovers in time to still have your turn when you're Johnny Cage in white positioning rewind has right now Fox is back to the corner the whiff throw not getting punished even though Johnny was at that sweet spot to throw out Legs instead he's been like they've sort of been whipping quite a lot of buttons here Then we've been a bit slow on the uptake trying to get those punishes it and now ender here Maybe they're mixed in the corner against Johnny cage It is it is jailed Trying to be hard to get out you know plus six Everywhere across the board speaking of plus frames coming from box and from downtown with the forward three What an offensive decision by rewind to stay alive here on the winners side and we got ourselves a match There was no fatal blow needed rewind knew he had all the damage with the rising star at the end But at this point it was just a clean change of principle if you lose two games in current really the pace that rewind It you just got to have something to break off that that's so cool effect that box was trying to build and now They're gonna get knocked down sent full screen The rain You know Think about it's incredibly smart because auger and do come out the crushing blow is get rewind off by defensive bar And that hasn't seemed to be a big threat again to Sonic so far and two out of the three already loaded And we've seen what that crushing blow can do as you saw earlier in that first match It's just the gift that keeps on giving really you get that forward to one bird boy It's unbreakable. It builds force crushing blow. There's good damage by itself. That's yeah Three white challenge there one two one easy knockdown and although we can't get the amp It's still the corner positioning box looking so good right now That is what ace of knaves is all about you saw Sonic read the breakaway and then have a follow-up ready And it's just you thought it was gonna be your turn But not the case here always thinking ahead of time I can try to go for it raw Okay, that may have been to try to steal some momentum right there Now there's no breakaway that's where the forward to one crushing blow comes from and again build towards it That should be three box. This is a win condition situation with hang on a minute Rewind half-life left and some crushing blows off the loaded cannot afford to get hit now at all Especially that crushing blow loaded massive damage on board and anything confirmed it to it might just do it at this range in the health bar Any individual here? And the fatal blow cancel combined with these crushing blows makes it horrendous to deal with box They're in a good position about a sonic actually probably wanted to take some chip on blocker there just to give them that cancel We've all been in that scenario Let me want one thing on block. I've got my fatal blow But the healthy for rewind again to stay alive. That's his match point or sonic box in the defense He's gonna stay alive.  But it's a bit slow compared to some of the other cuts a little bit slow there from fox half life down rewind in a decent position They're just gonna back up and disengage for a minute, but he's right back in clean out here Knocked down pressure sticking out that forward one again and the down two trades great damage and a favorable trade here That was such a clean answer and by all accounts that should be game over What a decision there from box to interrupt the knowledge the knowledge Sensational max between the two and you see sonic there saying I don't know about a mercy this time Too close for comfort I think Have the luxury of just hearing it But I mean overall that was just a fantastic series


Hey guys Chef SheaBear, SheaBear1000 here. Today we're going to be making this roast in the crock pot. It's real simple. Anything you make in a crock pot is real simple. Stay tuned let's make this roast together. This roast was I seasoned it. I put my own seasoning on it. You can put whatever you want. There's no right or wrong way really to season a roast, but I seasoned it and I put it in the refrigerator for I think it's been about three hours. Now what I'm going to do with this is I'm just going to sear this okay for a minute or two on each side and on the edges. What that does, I'm on medium heat so what that does is it helps lock the moisture and the flavor in because we're going to be slow cooking this for my gosh probably five or six hours okay so but yeah just just for a minute or two each side just just till it's you know starts to get mild you know just enough to lock that lock that flavor in there. Now what we're going to put in we're going to put some corn and some carrots in with this because the potatoes my potatoes weren't that good okay I didn't use them quick enough they weren't they weren't good so I mean it's like right it's like this is YouTube this is not and by the way guys for those of you guys that are just joining me I'm not a real chef okay I'm a jack of all trades a master of none this is just a a playlist that that I have made for us to kind of share some recipes on and whatever and kill some time and hang out together so but I know I'm not a real chef you know I mean this is my game right my channel my game and my game I have two rules rule number one there are no rules rule number two strictly follow rule number one okay so let's see what we got here go on down here a little bit check the other side it doesn't take that long see just just browning I might have went a little bit too long on that side that's okay but it's gonna be fine just shut this off it's just enough just to brown it a little bit to lock in them juices now would have been a good time to try out one of them gloves do the review on it right just enough see that right there just enough lock in the juices and I'm gonna take this over and I'm gonna put it in the crop set this I want to set it right on the bottom there just like that now I'm going to suck the counter monkey will kill me huh up a can of corn I'm not gonna strain them I'm not gonna dump the juice out of it I'm just gonna dump it right in there because that's all good juices yeah there we go click me I almost dog carrots here and I'm just gonna dump them in just like that you can cut them up whatever like I said this is you know when you're cooking make it how you want you know it gives well what what if I do it wrong well did it taste good yeah did you like it yeah did everybody else like it yeah then it wasn't wrong you know so now what I what I normally like to put like beef beef broth chicken broth yes you can use chicken on pork or or beef it doesn't matter but since I forgot to tell monkey when she was at the store when she asked me what I needed I forgot to tell her what I needed so I'm just gonna use water close them right your way just enough to cover everything will be fine because as it cooks you know it will it'll create its own juices just keep an eye on it if it needs more water you can add more water or broth later now this I'm gonna start out on and I'm gonna cook it on high I'm gonna let it go on high for about an hour then I'm gonna turn it down to low and then we're gonna cook it the rest of the time and then when it gets done when it gets done get out together and we'll look at it and see what it looks like but piece of corn alright so that's what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna wait about five to six hours depending on you can slow cook this like on warm all day 12 14 16 hours whatever you whatever you guys want whatever you prefer but I want this to be done about the same time as when monkey gets up for it so she'll have a nice meal waiting on her so I'm just gonna I've got to figure out what I want to make with that so I think I'll have some noodles I've got some leftover chicken from the chicken thighs I may go ahead and boil that up and make some chicken broth type thing like a chicken stock dump a little bit in to the roast and maybe make some noodles so that way she don't have to go back out when she gets off work so because she worked very hard she does a lot of driving a lot of traveling guys so anyway I'll be back with you and we'll check us out together hang tight okay guys I have taken the roast out of the crock pot and the corn and the carrots now let's take a look at this roast look at that and that's the way it should be perfect sear it first of course you know do it your way have fun with it there you go and also the broth that you have left over from from your roast you know you can freeze that and use it kind of like a like a beef stock or chicken stock use it and you can make stew or vegetable soup or anything like that so remember that you freeze it and then you'll have it then you know save money you don't have to go buy it and it'll taste better because it's homemade but anyway so that's the roast like I said I'm if you guys just join me I'm not I said it earlier I'm not a professional chef I'm not really a chef at all but it's just I thought it was kind of a cool play on words a funny play on words you know chef Shaber it's just a playlist that's where we can talk about food and maybe try different recipes so if you guys have a recipe you'd like me to try you know pop it down there in the in the comments and we'll see what we can do about getting that out for you and so anyway guys thanks for watching and chef Shaber gone for now bye bye guys take care I've left over for your funny monkey


So, over years, freestyle action means that the water expands at night by 10%, and rock breaks down over years and years of this, and becomes scree at the face of the mountain. Can anyone point out which of these images is scree? Yes? Can I add a little jack piece? Go ahead.
