But if I'll keep an eye on it. So as chair of the Rochester Select Board, I find that due to the state of emergency declared by Governor Scott as result of the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to addendum six to executive order 01-20 and act 92, this public body is authorized to meet electronically. In accordance with act 92, there is no physical location to observe and listen contemporaneously to this meeting. However, in accordance with the temporary amendments to the open meeting law, I confirm that we are making public access to the meeting using the Zoom platform. And you can find access to these meetings by going to the town website, looking at the posted notices throughout the town or asking the direct link sent to you. And there's somebody else who wants to get in. And boy, you know, when we stop doing Zoom, when will I ever say the word contemporaneously again? I don't know. We'll have to bring it up. Really? All right. So at this point, does anyone have any additions to the posted agenda going once, going twice, gone? Doing. Yeah. Terry's here and wants to talk about lawn mowing. All right. And you have me down, do I, do you need my topic? No, we're just, you're here as a guest on the agenda already. Okay. All right. Cool. All right. So let's start with the meeting minutes from the prior meetings. If we have two sets, April 26th, did everyone have a time to plow through those minutes? Yes. Yep. I'm okay with that. Yeah, I mean, I'd move to accept them as presented. I second that. All in favor. Aye. Aye. And then we have the May 10th minutes and was the meeting on the 10th or the 11th? 11th. 11th, right. So there's a little bit of a mistake in there. Wait a second. Wasn't it on Monday? Monday night? It was a 10. It was a 10. All right. The minutes must have been typed up on the 11th. The 11th. Okay. All right. So the meeting was. In the list of people that attended the meeting, it did not list Peter Jensen, Kimberly Tenor, or Jeff Gephardt. I thought maybe they should be added in. Add those guys. Yep. And I had a question also, Jeff, you're here. You could clarify. It said that date for the, um, the Moe demo, electric electric Moe demo as being May 27th. Is that correct? Yep. Okay. Just want to check that. 11 to 2 PM. All right. So with the additions of the other attendees to the meeting added to the minutes, I'd move to accept those minutes. I second that. All in favor. Aye. Aye. Okay. And we've got, I don't see Kirk white here, but Sue, you are on the agenda as a guest and what's on your mind? Yeah. I wanted to request the use of a very small portion of the park for 4th of July to have a booth. And you're all familiar, I think, with the Rochester high school repurposing committee. There's a small part of that, which is the arts and learning committee, which I'm on. And we've decided, and this has nothing to do with using the high school. In fact, we've decided we're gonna stay at committee no matter what happens. So we know that there's a lot of summer events coming up and we didn't have any events last year. So we really want to give the presenters a boost by highlighting all the things that are going on this summer between the library and the players and Pierce Hall, et cetera. And so we're putting together a compilation calendar and it'll be available. We're gonna have a booth, like a 10 by 10 booth, maybe over toward a park house during the barbecue. And secondly, because we are arts and musicians, we thought it would be nice to have some music. And now that the rules are a little looser with COVID, I called just in case to ask Jake and his friends if he might play on the gazebo. So that's my second request is to use the gazebo. Here's my question for you, Sue. Are you talking about Sunday, July 4th? Yes. Okay, that's right. During the barbecue. And the barbecue, because the barbecue's during the day, there's a concert that evening on the park too, but that's okay, great. Thank you. Sorry, I just want to make sure. So you're thinking during the barbecue and then music during the barbecue, if possible. Yeah. Okay, thank you. So did I see a park use application? Yeah, I didn't want it. Yeah. Okay. I don't know if you saw that, but... Which one is it? Because it just says Pierce Hall. No, this is separate. Yeah, it's not on the new business here, but it's in there. So I thought I thought I'll show you. Yeah, it is done. It is in there. So I'm just a high school repurposing committee. That's who's requesting it because they're officials. I only have four things on my agenda I had. Yeah. But I don't see anything about learning committee or arts and learning committee or anything out there. Do you have any questions? I think I pretty much said what's on the application. Yeah, I see it there, Sue. Everything seems all right. Yeah, I think that I might approve of that. I'd move to approve that. I second it. All in favor? All right. Okay. Great, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Martha Slater, you're also listed as a guest. Okay, yes. It's down under new business. This is my formal application for, on behalf of the players, I'm co-producer of the Harvest Fair and it would be Saturday, September 11th, which is going to be actually 20 years to the day from the infamous September 11th. And so, because we always have it the Saturday after Labor Day and we didn't have the fair last year. So we'd like to be able to do it this year and we think we can. So I'm hoping that that's okay with the select board. I would think that by that time, September, where the governor's talking about relaxing a lot of the restrictions after July 4th, then it's, you know, it's, I assume it would maybe be laid out in a little more spread out manner. Yeah, well, we have it, you know, and obviously we've had 30 some odd fairs now. You know, you can just walk through and it's a lot easier to keep your distance from people unless it gets super crowded. And we figure, we'll just do the best we can and it'll be outdoors. And by then we're hoping that a majority of the people in the state will be vaccinated and we're hoping for the best. But we'd like to have the fear again if you're okay with it. Frank, Pat, you guys have any thoughts? Just stay off the front as much as possible. We're still, I'm a little concerned with the grass there, that's all. Yeah, well, we're going to be having the stage over by Huntington House like we normally do. And then there'd be the flower show on the bandstand and the entry gate would be over on the corner by the skip mark. But yeah, we're going to try to put most of it like two thirds of the fair, excuse me, of the park that's towards the Huntington House side, yes. Yeah, that would be great. Convoys the use of the front as much as possible. Yeah, anyway. So I'd move to approve that application. I second it. All in favor? All right. We thank you very much. Well, we thank you for pushing forward with that. Good. So, well, while we're doing all these approvals or applications for park use, we might as well just finish them up before we jump into Jones since we started there. So we also have an application for the 4th of July for Pierce Hall having their barbecue. So I moved to approve that. Didn't we already do that? I thought we did, but it's on the agenda again. So we'll- Oh, it is? Yeah. I thought there was a Rochester School Seniors thing. There's one of those, too. Yeah, it looks like- Oh, I didn't- I don't have the other one then, I guess. Yeah, that's- I have a question about that. It says, for graduation celebration. And then someone told me that they thought Claudia Sherwin, whose daughter Jillian is graduating for Sharon this year, was organizing this. So I was wondering, is this supposed to be a public event or is it a private event or do you have any idea? It's on the application. It sounded, to me, when reading it, it was just her, you know, to help the graduation and probably some alumni just celebrate graduation. You know, so it's probably- It says high school seniors on the application. Purpose of events, celebrate our kids with the community. I think that's wonderful. I'm gonna try to get in touch with her to write something separate about it for the paper. Yeah. I'd move to approve that one. I second that. All in favor? All right. Okay. And we already did the Pierce Hall last time. All right. So we're doing the kind of boomerang agenda attack. So Joan, what have you got for us tonight in your updates? What I got, three items. First, remember Rogers Brook, which is might be the last culvert the town has on Bethel Mountain Road going down towards Camp Brook. Back in December, I put in an application was the second attempt for a grant to replace that culvert. Yeah. It was denied a second time. So I talked to Cricket about it, because if you remember, Hutchins did repair work on that site back in 2019. Primarily what they did is dump a whole lot of rock on the outlet side of the culvert, which is out of really steep slope. And there was a huge sinkhole there that was being created over time by a perched culvert. The culverts perched really high up. And so it was just digging a big hole underneath it. So with that, they dumped a lot of rock there. And Cricket feels that, even though it's not the prettiest thing and the culvert itself is a bit undersized and does need to be replaced because it's kind of corroding, it's not in any danger. And she feels it'll stay, the slope itself will stay stable for a good long time. So I would propose that that project just sort of be put on the back burner and keep an eye on it and maybe when funding is improved and towns aren't all frantic to get work done, they'll be more room for us to apply for a grant and replace it then. Okay. Okay. So the next thing up is the bid process is about to start for the retaining wall, which along with those five stone line ditching projects that went out to bid and are being awarded now is the final FEMA project from 2019. Cricket has just finished the plans. I've sent a bid advertisement to the Herald this morning and just want to give you a couple of dates. You don't have to remember the second one because I'll remind you of it later, but there's going to be a pre-bid meeting, sorry, pre-bid meeting on June 2nd at 10 a.m. if Frank or anyone else wants to be there and I will come in for that also. And then the bids will be due June 28th and the project needs to be done sometime this summer and it does have a stream alteration permit. So we've got a deadline. I think it's October 1st. I'm working in the stream. Any questions on that? No, and we have the design set for that? Yes, Cricket just completed that. And there'll be a set of plans available in the town office and I've also, or Cricket is going to be posting it on the state procurement site. So hopefully we'll get a lot of good bids coming in for that one. And then lastly, as far as I know, those four hemlocks were planted last Friday. They were, Joan, I checked. Hallelujah. Where were they planted? Where were they planted? On the Henry property. He put two on this side of the brook on the house side and he put two on the other side. Right. On which property? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Henry on Brook Street. Henry. On the Henry property. Yes, it's a camp. It's a camp property. It's a huge amount of work for a small project, but I'm really glad that it's been done. And I will let the Henry's know and I think they'll be pleased with the results. Okay. It was the last item for the Bethel Mountain Road rebuild and dealing with our final payment from the state, which should be coming at the end of the month. The end of May or the end of June? The end of May. Oh, of course, I'm not promising, but all everything has been signed and delivered and it's just in the queue now at the controller's office or whoever writes the checks for the state. So we might see it in the next week. All right, good. Good. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Joan. Harry, you were here, you wanted to talk about lawn mowing? Yeah. The mowing hasn't been done. Down back to school, they've done it once. The ground, the grass right now is a good foot or higher. They aren't doing any weed whack in there. Doing the sewers maybe every other week or every three weeks. You know, we're paying this guy to do the work. The firehouse, they don't weed whack at all hardly. You know, there's a lot of donated help to build that firehouse. Can't we just keep it up so it looks halfway decent?  And the sewer sites, you know, I kind of take a little pride in our sewer sites. We've had some recommendations from the state because they look so good. I'd hate to see him come right now. Besides that, we just put 360,000 in that one. So now you want to run it down?  When he goes more now, it's going to kill everything, it's there. So Terry, when you say down behind the school, are you talking the, or the Little League field is or over further by the- Over further, it's where our septic is. Okay, over like where the old high school fields were that area. No. No? Back to grade school. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Excuse me. I had made mention to the person that does the mowing once about last week, maybe a week and a half ago about this. So I would have thought that by now he would have been caught up. No, I've mentioned it to you and I've mentioned this to Frank. Ah, but nothing's getting done. I mean, why are we paying him? We aren't getting anything for it. Contract reads once a week or as needed.  Yeah, well- I don't give him a check. That's plain to do. We'll have to have a talk with him. That's all we can do right now. I don't think we should be cutting him any checks anymore. Well, he's still mowing some of it. Well, dock him. We can do that too. Yeah. But we'll have a conversation with him. I mean, I just- You know, we put a lot of money in these systems. You know, 2 million in one, 360,000 in another and you want to just let him go? Come on. No, we don't. No, we'll- We'll address it. Yeah. We should be up and running now. It's pretty much spring has sprung for sure. So, yeah, we'll, thanks for bringing it. I've seen somebody down there mowing several times, but you know, I couldn't tell you exactly how often. I just, I've seen- Yeah. All right. Thank you. Good. Is there anything else on utilities? Did we ever enact that rate change that we're going to do for the water? Well, I think we should really meet. I've got a lot of information and I got it all done, but I think we really should get together and do this in person. Okay. It'd be a lot easier to explain and to go over the numbers. You have those numbers on a sheet, Terry. Can you leave them in the office? I haven't got it 100% done until you can, so you'd understand it. Okay. Is that possible to do? I should have it done tomorrow. Okay. If you could leave that in the office, we can all at least look at it so we have an idea of what we're looking at. It'd be good. But we really need to get on this because we're failing a lot more so than you think. Is this water and sewer rate change? Excuse me. You're correct. Okay, thank you. It hasn't been done for 15 years. Last time it was done in November of 2006. Wow. Well, put the information in the office there so we can look at it. Yeah. Great. Jeff, has got any reports from the... Yeah, I guess that was one that they maybe didn't mow because we asked him not to mow in ahead of the electric mow demonstration but Terry's talking about more places than just that. Right. He's talking about the septic field. Yeah. And our ask of John not to mow was just the ball fields down by the task courts. Well, we had the first of a monthly lecture series that the energy committee put on with a presenter from Efficiency Vermont on heat pumps. This is done jointly with the library. We'll be doing that monthly through October. We've got the mow electric commercial demonstration day coming up on Thursday this week, screen around cleaning up my grill and buying hot dogs and such, borrowing pop-up tents. And we've got the three vendors coming of the only commercial grade zero radius turn mowers, you know, big wide decks and quiet. So that's happening. When was that? I'm sorry, I can't write as fast as people talk. The 27th between 11 and two. And that's the mow. Mow electric. Mow electric. Thank you. Yeah. And let's say I was contacted by Pittsfield and I don't know how to pronounce her last name. She's the board chair down there. And she would like to get the municipal, the Triton municipal committee back together. I told her I'd be willing to do that provided people did their, did the work of getting, you know, things properly warned and showed up for meetings or return phone calls to help me reschedule. I've talked to Monica Collins. I haven't heard from her yet who Hancock's representative would be. Let's see, what else? We did have the meeting with Green Mountain Power last week and did a walk through of Rochester or drive through of Rochester to take a look at siting for potential generation field. Looked at the substation, pump house. And Frank and I are gonna meet tomorrow morning to get the clear definition of the boundaries of what would be within the resiliency zone. There are technical reasons and voltage differences that won't enable us to quite capture all of what we consider the village. But we need to get that defined so that Green Mountain Power knows what the load is that they're gonna be needing to satisfy and what the storage needs would be. Let's see, and the ad hoc energy committee renamed itself the Valley Energy and Climate Action Committee. We don't see any reason to exclude people from Granville Hancock Stock Bridge or Pittsfield. And we know that there are some people in all of those towns that have interest in this. So we need to grow this group and that would be a good way is to open it up to the Valley, the 100 Valley. And then finally, the Capstone Agency, the Community Action Program Agency that serves our region here. It wants to come down and is gonna utilize the energy committee as a vehicle to talk with all of the towns about how the energy committee might work as eyes and ears for the Capstone Weatherization Program. And hopefully then we can get people that have problems with their homes, particularly low income homeowners or renters that have problems so that the efficiency of their home serve through the free weatherization services that Capstone offers. So we're stirring the pot and things are starting to happen a little bit. Oh, Jeff, I have a question about the Green Mountain.  So their scope is only in the village and that got a little bit smaller too. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, the scope would be the village where Peaveyne Drive, the River Road across the way and Robinson Road, those were definitely not really feasible to connect to because of the grid. Frank can explain that better than I can. And then we were going down to the well pump house on 100, that would be the Southern boundary. And to the East, it's, there's one house on the right side of Brook Street and the Cliff House is up there. The Cliff House is up to the Duggers House. Those would be included, but anything outside of that would not. So it's mostly to the North and then going up Brook Street and Bethel Mountain Road where it thins out and those would not be a part of it. And it's wherever the equipment is at the appropriate voltage and, you know, I suppose one might be able to grab those other units but you'd have to do a tremendous amount of work probably to the electrical system and probably make it not cost effective for GMP to do it. Okay, so no Brook Street beyond the first house and no Kennedy Drive. Kennedy Drive is in there as far as... Kennedy Drive would be in there, Patty. Everything in the village at the junction of Brook Street it's the old Clesson Blair House. And the Cliff House is on the right. That's the end of it there. And the Ahood Apartment House would be in the village. Robinson Avenue, Peaveyne Drive, South, the high school wouldn't be. The whole village would be. The Wefield would be and down to the pump house and everything in the village. Okay, and the high school would not be because... The high school wouldn't be unless we altered the service there. Okay, elementary has a generator, so that's... The elementary would be. It would be, but it hasn't generated. It's pretty brilliant on its own already. Okay, so people have interest, so they wanna know, what about me? Yeah, the resiliency zone is basically, it's what Green Mountain Power can do for itself really. And where it comes in handy is they would look at putting the money, some of the money or most of the money upfront for the facilities and the equipment. And they could operate at any time they wanted to to separate us from the grid, where we'd be on our own grid. But there's no, as far as incentives for the town, as far as power savings or anything like that, there would be none. Benefits though would be, a good portion of the town is getting renewable energy. And globally, well, in Vermont, the use of the batteries for peak shaving helps keep down the peak costs. And that does get reflected on everybody's rates. To the extent, so it's a town thing that we'd have to consider and look at. And they're gonna size the grid to see what would work for our community for low capacity and all that to give us some idea of what we'd be looking at. So we'll see. So did they find a suitable solar spot in town? Yeah, the ball field right by the Little League field, all that area right there. That'd be ideal, because it's right close to the grid and everything. Okay, and the river didn't bother them. Well, it's out of the floodplain. Yep, just that upper area. Little League field is out of the floodplain. Yep, okay. Perfect. And then finally, we did get awarded as the participant for 2021 in Vermont Council on Rural Developments, Climate Economy Model Communities Program. Catherine Shankman and Vic Roboto and myself met with John Copans of the Vermont Council of Rural Development. He explained how this program works. And Vic and Catherine and I went through a meeting where we identified potential core people for a first meeting of this group. But it's kind of a restart of Envision Rochester. We're gonna definitely want to look at everything that was done there and then look at how we go forward. And in particular, marrying what we need to do to be sustainable and resilient in the future with energy needs both municipally as well as the citizenry of the town. It should help us more rapidly develop a holistic plan and be ready hopefully for the infrastructure monies to file for grants and get it done. Perfect. Well, you know, for a relatively new position or assuming the position of the energy coordinator you're keeping quite busy. He is. Yeah, I'm gonna try. After we get a couple of things done I'm gonna try to ratchet back a little bit. That's why you're paying him the big question. Getting a few more recruits in the energy committee gives me the ability to delegate a few things and that makes it easier. All right. Get my sanity back after Mo Electric is done. Yes, well, thanks for your energy. Is that all?  Do we have anybody here to speak from the library tonight? I don't think so. So on the new business, the other we have a driveway permit for Martin Waters which is on Brook Street there. And I had reached out, they didn't put a drawing or a map of where exactly they want it to go. I think I can tell just by driving by where they're parking their truck as it is now. In talking with Cooter about it, he's pretty adamant that we maintain the swale that travels that south side of Brook Street there. That would be, we could see, proving that permit with that condition that they're not planning to fill in that swale and putting in a culvert there in conjunction with the swale does not really compute very well. So I guess we'd really need to get clear with them about their thoughts and feelings about how that would work keeping that swale. So do you think we should just table that until you have that continued conversation or approve it with the, prove it, so I can, you know that stuff that, approve it with that condition that we're not compromising the swale. I think we should approve it with that condition. Yeah, all right. Yeah. Okay, so what is the exact wording approved with? With the condition that the existing swale will be maintained? Or Kevin? I would think you'd wanna have them put a design in there to do just so that they show it on the application. Yeah, so with the completion of their application with the drawing and the condition that the swale is kept in place. So I'd move to approve it with those conditions. I second that. All in favor? All right. Okay. Okay. I don't know about your guys agenda but mine is starting to run out of stuff. I would just give a little update that we did get some response from the state on the signage for the Bethel Mountain Road. And they are going to install signs on route 100 and on route 12 to indicate that the posted road and so forth. I think I sent you folks an email on that. Oh, is this regarding big trucks, Frank? Is that what you're talking about? Yes. Okay, I'm sorry. Overloads and 24,000 plus so they would like us to get people together that live on that street to jot down when they see a truck come down there and note the time and the direction. They're going in as far as coming down the hills they're coming down or they're going up. And if we could maybe pattern that for a month and see if it's a continual use or if it's just an occasional so if we could, I thought I'd reach out to Catherine somebody that's there a lot that can just doesn't have to be accurate and just jot down a few things when they see it. So we can get some idea and we can also look at enforcing it a little bit that way which is what they'd like us to do and reach out to the DMV and all them folks. And all them folks. So you want them to anybody reading this could say they could call you if they've got a problem. If they see No, they just keep a figure on it and then we can collect it after a while and see if there's a pattern there. That's kind of what the state is looking at how they're addressing it. Yeah. Nancy or something you want to attribute? What kind of trucks are you specifically looking for? Well, I think they're looking at anything that could possibly be oversized. Like a big long trailer truck. Trailer truck, a big box truck might be overloaded. I mean, there's a lot of things and a lot of them may not be but they just want to get it so that we have an idea of where they're coming from and where they're going. You know, as far as if they're coming and turning on off from route 100 and going over or are they coming from route 12? That's kind of the direction they want to know which direction they're coming from. So we need citizens to do that, keep us aware of that. So then we can report back to them and that may make them change some signage. They're still leaving it in the open to change things as they go forward to put more signage in if they need to or whatever. This is not an end necessarily. It's just the beginning to try to alleviate the traffic a little bit. Pat? It's a good idea. I'm a little apprehensive about calling in the public. I certainly would not endorse anyone in the public to confront a truck driver to stop a truck. No running out in the road. I think an effective way of documenting it is have your phone handy and take a picture of that truck because they have DOT numbers and phone numbers on their doors or on the box of the truck. Also, we do get deliveries in Rochester so some trucks may be using Bethel Mountain Road and they're not through traffic. They're actually delivering to Mac's Store and to Skitmart and stuff like that. So I don't want to have people accusing our delivery people and having us does not get delivery. And I just, when I was taking pictures and then I was calling the number that I was asking for dispatch but I wouldn't encourage people to do that. Please just document it and let us know and we will go to the next step. I don't want to create a situation where people are putting themselves in any type of danger running after trucks trying to get them to stop. Oh no, they don't want us to do that. They just want to have some kind of idea which way the trucks are coming from, what kind of trucks they are. That's all. What kind of pattern, if it gets a pattern of when it happens more often that would be easier to direct the enforcement activities at the good times to hang out. Time the enforcement to when they're gonna be there, when they're coming. Local contractors have overweight permits that they pay down every year. So, they'll get reported repeatedly. How dump trucks getting reported all the time. And it should just be stated publicly that there is a process for local contractors to pay every year for overweight permits. So they kind of are allowed and they are also going locally. They're not working the target through traffic, not just every truck that goes up and down the road. Yeah. All right. That's a step. Like you said, it's the beginning. Nancy. Yeah, just a step. We're not gonna eliminate it. No. I just have another thing. I'd like to shout out to Dick White and thank him for the work he did on the bandstand this week, this past week and also the flagpole in preparation for painting. Which I think Frank has got Zeus coming to do the painting. And so we're gonna get spruced up. So they're gonna paint both the bandstand and the flagpole? Quite. Just the lower parts. Zeus is donating his time. We're buying the paint. He does have workman's comp. I struggled out with about three or four painters already. So I don't know about the buildings. Everybody's gonna be really busy from here on out. So I'm still in the process, but it might be canceled for this year that way because everybody's so busy, but I'll keep on it. So Nancy, the work that Dick White did on the bandstand to get it ready for painting? Well, he just did some repairing of rotted wood. Okay, so in preparation for painting, is he going to do the painting as well? No, Frank just told you that Zeus is. Okay, that's right. I'm sorry, excuse me. All right, last call. Anyone else have something to talk about? I think there's still some nice light for gardening. That's where I'm going. Oh, thank you, everybody, for all your hard work. Okay, thank you. You want my woodchuck? No, you can join mine here. Yeah, I just lost all the lettuce I planted over again. Every single one piece. Has anybody had trouble with a bear? Because a friend of mine who lives in Randolph right near the hospital on Rosewood Drive has this big bear that came and tore up her garden and tore her little tool shed and knocked it all over the place. And she saw it. She got pictures of it doing it, so she knows it. And it was a big bear, yikes. No, I haven't seen that, but. No, I haven't. Oh, no. Be well, everyone. And I'll see you around town. Have a good evening. Thank you, folks. Night. Bye-bye.


What are your thoughts on the blue state subsidizing red state's talking point? I think it's extremely flawed and comes from a vast amount of context that is purposefully left out. I mean, yes, but there's an element of truth to it. It's true that if you look at for the federal government, the amount of money the federal government gets from citizens of certain states and the amount of money given to citizens in certain states. Some states have a negative balance. Citizens in those states have a negative balance, right? So California citizens pay more in federal taxes than California gets in federal benefits. Mississippi, it's the other way around. And this is generally true, and it's one of the things that people who identify as rabid Republicans and red states are great have to deal with is that generally blue states have more production, blue states have more wealth creation, blue states have generate more income and therefore generate more taxes than red states. You know, I don't know if that'll last. I don't know if that'll be forever, but there's something about blue. There's something about being a Democrat, not a far leftist, but a center left that where there are high concentrations of center left people, there's high productivity, there's high education, there's high entrepreneurship, there's high creativity. Look at Silicon Valley, look at Wall Street, look at Austin, Texas, look at most university towns, but look at Boston, where you have a thriving biotech area and a lot of wealth and yet the left of center. So you can't just dismiss the left on those, you know, just you have to have an argument and you have to have an argument that takes into account why they, where there are concentrations of them, they are productive. And it has to be at the end of the day, you have to dissect the issues and the problem with the right is that they abandon reason. And the problem with the left is they abandon reason in more areas of life than the left. And productive people who admire reason, who are productive, who like technology, like science, who reject religion, reject much of what Republicans stand for. And if red states want to become wealthier, they have to attract the scientists, the thinkers, the entrepreneurs, the engineers, and that means they have to attract people who respect reason and therefore they have to project a respect for reason rather than project religion, anti evolution. So there's a reason why Silicon Valley is not Republican. And I've said this over and over and over again over many years, I've said it to the Ted Cruz campaign in 2016. I said, a Silicon Valley engineer is not going to vote for candidate who thinks, who doesn't think evolution is true. She's just not going to vote for candidate. If you stand up on stage and tell him evolution is a conspiracy, then he's not going to vote for you. And that's a big part of the problem we have. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist.

Let's bury the knowledge crystal When we get there this Dragon's Park it means such a big place. I always forget how big it actually is Yeah, but Australians are upside down not New Zealanders New Zealand is the right way up. It's just Australians Just Australians, you know, you cross the wee little C and they're they're bad. That's just how it works Ash's We're costing as much victory is not as assured as when we started if these be my last thoughts May they make it home? I know our world is changing I know the people seek the power they feel is being kept from them, and I know which way the wind is blowing But I also know that only the elite the royalty trusted with knowledge only we can use it well, and I know history will prove me right. It didn't, you know. Prove him right. Poor Prince Vigor. So dismissive of the lower classes, he missed a lot when he left. That change he thought about? That was the founding of this academy, where they taught everyone not just about magic, but how to use it right. At least until the generals and kings unleashed the dragon titan. But that's ancient history. Come here, wizard. Let's get up on today. Okie dokie. Ashley, hi. King Kilgore said we were all gifts between two great peoples. Maybe they were the second one. You know, I think that statue was built in honor of the Treminder leader. What was his name? Grimrose? Ambrosius. Aurelius Ambrosius, I think. But if you want to know more about Treminders, you should go back to the Ravenwood. That's really where they got started. Ok, well, that was a question and a half. Nice work. Yeah, let's head over to Edward. He should hopefully be in the catacombs. Here's a look at that. Fantastic. The Ocean is a scam invented by environmentalists to sell me a straw. Jesus Christ. No, not how it works, but ok. Oh good, you're back and just in time. While you were taking care of things in Dragon's Fire, I'm afraid I went off and did some more exploring. I just couldn't help myself. These tunnels are so fascinating. Anyway, I discovered the entrance to a new chamber. It was full of amazing carvings, but before I could examine them, there was a tremor and heaps of bones rose up to attack me. The confounded things took my notes. Without them, I won't be able to translate the carvings. Please, help me retrieve them. Ok, let's explore rooms. Is it this one? Nope, it is not this one. It is this one. This way. Onwards. Onwards. Onwards. People, we go this way. We move. Vamoose. Um, Aurelius Ambrosius was probably insisted tomorrow. I would say so. Highly likely. Oh, these guys. See, look at the horrible things. They are unnatural, even among the undead. Yeah, these guys. I don't remember these guys. Don't like them. They're not cool. Zero out of ten. Sad reacts only. Um, there we go. We defeated them. Crab Alley Shays. Why are we getting Crab Alley stuff here? Oh, thank you. I really need to take better care of my notes. Now that you're here, you could protect me while I examine these carvings. Hopefully these undead horrors won't give us any more trouble. Ok, um, we need to go talk to them again, but he just moved. Um, are they undead? Um, are who undead? I'm confused. I'm confused. Monstrology. Probably, I would say. I would assume that these guys would be undead. Um, they're skeletons, so 99% sure. 99% is my thing. Um, look closely at these carvings. Here, I've been able to confirm that they are indeed druidic. You're allowed to do whatever you want to do while you watch the stream. I don't really care. But there are some subtle differences between these glyphs and the druidic inscriptions in Avalon and Albion. I think these may be far older. Ancient chronicles claim that the druids came to Albion and Avalon from an ancestral home lost to history. That lost home must be Ravenwood. I must learn more. That door, judging by its carvings, must lead to some kind of special chamber. Perhaps a temple. We must open it. Beware, my Sion. A dire danger has arisen here in the deep. Badobe, hello, big boy. Ages ago, when the druids dwelt in the Ravenwood, they imprisoned evils that posed a threat to the spiral. Some of their prisoners have escaped. You must return them to their magical slumber where the consequences will be grave. I will open the door. You must restore the ancient druid's prism. Beyond the door lies one of the greatest secrets of the ancient druids. So the builders of these tunnels were druids. Remarkable. I will accompany you into the chamber beyond Wizard. Okay. What does he give? Does he give anything? He may not. Not that he's even in battle. But it's always interesting to see what these guys give. He doesn't give anything. Oh, he gives 20% incoming health. That's interesting. It's interesting that he gives something, even though we don't actually go into battle with him. Interesting. But yeah, let's just get in the dialogue. Then I'll stop and reach out for a bit because lots of things have happened. Look at this place. How wondrous. There are more carvings in here. We should examine them. I've seen symbols like these in ancient texts. If I'm right, this is a diagram of ley lines. They're a legend among historians. According to some sources, ancient wizards used ley lines to travel between the worlds of the spiral before world doors were invented. These inscriptions here, they say the druids wove the ley lines. They extend along Bartleby's roots, touching every world in the spiral. This proves the theories are true. The ley lines must be how the druids brought their prisoners here. But how did they find them? Where are they? They are still here. Most of them. Okay, let's talk to this. We're getting Renegade Druid soon. Uh-oh. It has been long since any walked in this chamber. When the spiral was young, I began my watch over this place. I am charged to destroy all who trespass. But I sense tree magic in you. Welcome. Ages ago, we crafted the amber orbs, enchanted to imprison the essences of evil things. We kept them here in our hidden prison. The orbs were held aloft, suspended in a web of binding magic. But a great tremor shifted the men here that bound the web, and the orbs fit. I am but a ghost. I cannot shift the stones into place. Write the men here and the prison will be restored. I ask you in the great oak's name. Okay, let's do this, and then I will reach out. I'm just gonna get there. Just wait. Keep going. Just wait a second. Just wait a second. We will get there soon. The great prison is restored. Now you must return the orbs to the great binding. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. You have done well, yet this is but a beginning. Three of the amber spheres shattered when the wards were broken. Their prisoners have escaped. To my sorrow, I was not strong enough to stop them. The first is a renegade of our order, who sought to become the great tree's scion. He failed. Bitterness consumed him, and the evils we fought took root in his soul. He has fled to Avalon. Next is Satharilith, a vile myth-born abomination that devours thoughts and replaces them with its own. It has gone to Valon's land. The last is a horror born in the dark spaces between the worlds. We named it the Devourer. It has fled to the very edge of the spiral. The evil these fiends might unleash is unspeakable as the great oak scion it falls to you to stop them. Bring them back, sealed in amber orbs. Okay. Let's get ready for renegade druid fight. The next chamber is the heart of our web of laylines. The prisoners use them to escape into the spiral. Follow them, and do not tarry. Here we go, renegade druid. Whoo! Boy. That's for a new boy. So, some trace of the order still survives. My brethren lack the courage to destroy me before, and now the spiral will pay for their folly. Okay, misassembled skeletons. More of them. Let's go. Plus, there's no new world this year. So, if you were saving it for a new world, you can just save into next year because the new world won't be released until this time next year. I can guarantee you that. Guarantee that the new world won't be released until this time next year. Oh yeah, this is the maze. Bloodmoss. I forget how to do this. Edward seems to know. I'm just gonna follow Edward. Or is he following me? I did it. Wow, first try. Okay, look at me go. GG. Um... Okie dokie. Can you imagine storm combos? Double wildbolt? Yeah, that'd be crazy. Okie dokie. Let's go. Explore the glade. Who's up in the glade? Who would know? Not me. Dialogue. And then I shall release an eldritch plague that will consume the spiral. Jeez. I was not ready for that. Just stay. We first. Should be fine. Should be fine. We first. So that's a good start. Not the ideal setup, but hey. Hey, could be worse. Dun dun dun dun dun dun. Blade number one. And that is an enchanted elemental blade. The Renegade kidnapped him. Yup. Shorted. We're here to rescue Sean. Yup, definitely how it works. Definitely. Ok, regular elemental blade. Yeah, that's a good idea. Especially since we're first, we know now. So really ideal there. Really ideal. We double dispel. Yup. I think that's about like three four blades now. One, two, three, four. Yeah, four blades should be. I'm pretty sure four blades. Pretty sure four blades. Nice wee tempest. If we cry enough, it doesn't hurt. So everybody start crying. Fred was crying. Kira was pretty crying there. Yeah, I can sense that. And me, while I'm absolutely heartbroken inside. So of course I was crying. Tempest is Wizards tears, especially in this fight, especially. That's why it's a moon spell. They polymorph the tears from us to the spell. That's how it works. How it works. Please be like Pip Gane or something. Thank you. Nothing like terrible. Pip Gane is like eh, but not like terrible. Okay, I have so many reshuffles. Jeez. So this is blade number seven after this round. So shrike next into bugs. What did I miss? We're still on Renegade Druid. We haven't done much. And the last, what, like two hours, two and a half hours. How long is it? Two and a half hours. We have done absolutely nothing. Yeah, that's seven blades. And I'm stunned. So I can't blade you again. That's unfortunate. Have I won member? No, we didn't do one because Rose was away. Um, so that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven blades. Yeah, seven blades. That's fine. What do we need? I don't know. Probably a something that isn't I'm stunned anyway. So not really a big deal. Um, I think you should just to, yeah, Fred can blade next and then you're at because that was eight. You'll be at nine. So definitely on double ready. Okay, good. So definitely hit next. Definitely, definitely hit next. Volcano. I mean, Rain of Fire. I always call it volcano. I don't know why it's because half the time I'm like, yeah, I got a team up from following. I got a temp up for the following run to clean out the minions. Cool beans should hopefully be fine. Hopefully as long as no bad stuff happens, we should be okay. Just unfortunate that I got stunned. Look, it's Hawaii in 10 years. Geez. Oof. Oof. Okay. What is this? Tempest. Okay. Don't do too much. It's our tears used against us.  He didn't even crit. Whoa, he's bad. He's bad. He didn't even crit. For once, he doesn't actually crit. Wow. Who would have thought? They did like nothing. Without a crit, it's so much better. Like, geez. Can you not crit more? Like, please, that would be great. Thanks. Exactly. We should stop, stop crying so they can't drown us. Makes sense. Makes sense. Okay. There's the Shad. Just hit because then they can't use it. Problem solved. It's not too late. Just hit. Just hit. Just hit. If Fred can blade, I'll heal. Because as long as you can use up all of your blades, it's fine. Yeah. As long as the blades are used, it's perfectly fine. Perfectly fine because then they can't bugs you and it's fine. I've got a heal anyway, so you won't die either. How do you like it now, RuneGate Druid? Yeah, that's right. We're using bugs against you. Fight me. Fight me. Yes. This is the vindication I needed in my life. I don't know if that's the right word, but I don't care. We're using it anyway. We're using it anyway. He blocked the crit. I don't care.  Hopefully. Probably. We will find out. I think we should be fine. But you can more than happily help us with the next two fights. So close. That's fine. I have more blades. It's fine. Don't worry. Don't worry. I came prepared for the situation. I came prepared. That's why I'm healing as well. Well, I mean, I couldn't blade anymore. I got stunned. Like, it's not my problem, not my fault. I got stunned. I'm sorry. I got stunned. There's literally nothing I can do. I healed instead. Are you happy? I'm not going to be stunned this round. So what I can do is I'll start blading next. If you can heal her, I can blade her. I mean, technically, someone just needs to outheal her damage. Essentially, gain aggro again. Unless you want to try again. I've got a pigsy. I can pigsy. I can pigsy. Or I can... Yeah, I can pigsy. Yeah. We need about three blades. Three blades to hit should kill.  I heard it's best with a fire, because of rain of fire. Kind of, but not really, because... Because, like, the dots take forever. Because they don't actually work properly with the thing, unless that was fixed. Also, the dots didn't actually count for the full damage that they got on the boss, anyway. My healing isn't quite as good as, um, thingimabob bread. So that's unfortunate, but hey. Hopefully no bugs. Hopefully no bugs. Most bugs have been fixed. Okay, that's good. That's good to know. It is good to know. Is this Angry Snow Pig? Yeah, it is. Wow. What a spell. I haven't seen this one in a while. It's quite a funny spell. It does so much, though. He targeted your dead body. I don't think they should be able to do that. Because that is kind of rude. Uh-oh. You... What is the late cheat? There's a late cheat. I know that. Um... You don't get any pips. You don't get any pips for X amount of rounds. I think it's like four rounds. So... Yeah, it's an impede. Which is, um, no pips. Yeah, it's doable. So if you want to flee, you can. Yeah, flee. Do it. Do it. Do it. Just run out the timer, right? I'll try and save up for a, um, kiss of death. I'll just run out the timer a bit. Thank you. I appreciate heal. Heal is good. Heal is good. I think it does. I'm pretty sure it does. I'm pretty sure aggro resets. Especially if you do a lot of heals while she's gone. Um, it should essentially count for you. Or the aggro should swap to you, theoretically. Because aggro is basically whoever either hits the most or heals the most gets aggroed. Um... Yeah. That's how aggro works. Technically, or theoretically, that's how it should work. That's fine. We're just running out the timer. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We're running out the timer. I'm gaining pips as well, so I'm not mad. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Just un-pull back when you're ready. She had a lag. She had a lag. She had a lag. Just a singular lag. 2Y again. I appreciate it. Can you just stop bolting me, please? Like, I would appreciate no bolts. No bolts in chat? That would be great. That would be great. Here she is. Stop bolting me! What is your obsession with bolting me? Seriously. Not cool. Knock it off. Yeah. Not bolt into a thousand like it did before. The commons hates you. Fair enough. Fair enough there. Fair enough. I can understand that one. I have a kiss of death when I'm ready. You can replace it, but you still have the effect. You still have the effect of impede for four rounds. We tried that. We did try that. So not worth replacing it? Nah, not really. Not really. Yeah. I don't know if it stops. I'm shadow pips. I can't remember that one. I can't remember. Like, it might. It just says no pip gain. But the pip looks like a noob pip. So I don't know if it stops shadow pips. I don't think it stops shadow. We'll say it doesn't. Can you show me her pet? Sure. Just a second. Let me just cast a spell. What was that one? That was a... Okay, this is enchanted. It doesn't. Epic. Okay, that's good. So try and get two shadow pips. Easy peasy. Two shadow pips. Shrike. Blade a lot. Blade a bit. It doesn't need to be too many blades. Like, three or four. Her pet is a storm class pet. Which is from the Decathlon. It gives 3% damage, 6% damage. 26% critical rating for storm. 32% storm crit rating. 10% storm damage and 6% storm damage. Cards are elemental shield, storm blade and sharpen blade. That's her pet. Yeah, definitely shrike into a hit next. I can heal. If needed. Stop critting please. Not cool. 0 out of 10. Please stop. Crit block. Yes! I can block. I'm good. I'm good. Time to heal. Yep. Why? Just why? Why do they have so much damage? That's the question. Like, there was no need for them to have a 5 million damage. Like, literally they have 110 damage. The star one has 120. The storm one has 100. And the regular one has, not apparently, which is kind of crazy. Um, yeah. Shrike into a bug? Yeah. Sounds good. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. Okay, I can go for a mess sack next. Which I'll do when she's hitting. Sounds good in my opinion. Even from first, they made this so unbearable. It's at least doable from first. More, more or less. Don't crit dude. Good. Good. He didn't crit. Um, did they nerf the aura popping trick? Um, yeah, you cannot break. I assume you mean with like supernova? I don't know. I haven't tried that. Um, because I don't have any balanced friends. Um, if you mean just replacing it? Um, you still get no pip gain. Because it's like an extra status effect, not just when the thing's up. Um, headless. Whoa! Aura Pop no longer works apparently. Yeah. As far as supernova, yeah. There's more of a like status effect, kind of like a blade now. That's like permanently there until the four rounds is up. Um, then just a thing. But I mean, for a storm, three pips is all you need. So that's fine. If the moon one is storm, why is it jujuing and headlessing? Because it also has, um, because moon is storm. The moon school is storm, um, death and something else. Theoretically, a storm, death and ice is the moon school. It's what make up the moon school. Um, the star is fire, ice, and I think myth. Um, and the, the sun school is the other three or a combination of other three fire. Um, myth and life, I think it is. Yeah. Dang masteries, yeah. Okay, GG. GG, we did it. Apart from this whole like, they're gonna take no damage, but that's fine. Next round they will. Next round they will, and that's fine. He blocked, he didn't even need to block. What a noob. What a noob. Yeah, it is kind of unfair that they still don't take damage. But here's a heal anyway. Enjoy the heal on me, on the house. Does that mean it has 110% PS? I killed myself. Oh no. Oh no. Or else I'm dead to me. I mean, it's fine. You should be fine. The storm one has a, I'm currently the target apparently. So that's fine. You're not dead really. Um, the storm one has a dispel. So no bugs. Not that you have any blades that are severely gonna be damaged. Okay. I'm nearly dead. I might need a heal for it. Might need a cheeky heal. I'm alive. Don't worry, I'm alive. I'm alive. I'm alive. I'm alive. Should be good. Should be easy clap here. Yeah, don't do that. I'll blade you. Tim won't work until next year. Just blade or something. Could have done with a heal by the way, but that's fine. If I die, I'd come back to zero. So it should be fine, right? Or one, sorry. Should be fine. Hopefully. Maybe. Probably. What would happen if zero pips? I wouldn't do any damage, would it? That's actually something that I would love to see. That is actually something that I want to see now. I'm dead. I'm dead. Should have done it. Yeah. Just for the laws. But I mean, because yeah, the percentage wouldn't increase because if you can't have more percent of zero, I don't know what would happen. Maybe it would just break the game. That would be funny. I blocked the crit though. Can I block the overtime as well? Nope. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. I'm dead. I'm at 72 health, by the way. I am dead. Yay. Add friend code. Sure thing. Sure thing. Hunter. There we go. Welcome to my friends list. Auto drop every item if you use, if I use zero temp. Yeah. That would be funny. That would be really funny. They're like, oh, it's never possible to do zero temp. So any boss that, you know, you fight, if you do a zero pip tempest, you automatically win the match right there. And also every single item drops from the drop table. That would be really funny. Would never happen, but imagine, imagine. Just imagine. That would be hilarious. Let's farm for FM. No, thank you. Imagine if I get it first try. Imagine if I get it first try. That would be funny. What if we didn't? That is a great, great statement there. What if we just not? What if no? Well, GG. Luckily, we only need to do one damage. We actually did it. Amazing. Only took like 25 minutes. Not too bad. Not too bad. GG. Boys, we did it. We did it. Can I get the FM? That'd be great. That did so much. No, don't return me to an eternity of nothingness. You got it. Wow. Nothing. I got nothing as well. Renegade Wrangler, that's a cool badge.

Since the emergence of the first cases in Wuhan, China, the novel coronavirus, 2019 in Cov, infection has rapidly spread to other provinces and neighboring countries. Estimating the basic reproduction number using mathematical modeling can help determine the potential and severity of an outbreak, as well as provide critical information for identifying the type of disease interventions and intensity. A deterministic compartmental model was developed based on the clinical progression of the disease, epidemiological status of the individuals, and intervention measures. The estimated values from likelihood and model analysis suggest that the control reproduction number could be as high as 6.47, 95% CI 5.71 to 7.23. Sensitivity analyses showed that intensive contact tracing followed by quarantine and isolation, or travel restrictions, can significantly reduce the control reproduction number and transmission risk. Increasing quarantine by 100,000 baseline value would have similar effects to travel restrictions. It is important to assess how expensive, resource-intensive measures implemented by the Chinese government can contribute to the prevention and control of the 2019 NCO.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm reviewing here INTC. This was a nice trade actually from Thursday. Here's a good example of something that really wasn't a great gap but with the right entry you can still make money in it. It's a combination of things if you want to make money as a day trader. One you have to have a strategy that tells you the stock pick, what gap to do, the gap is a strategy and then what direction to play it. You have to find the right pick and then you have to have the entry. The entry means the price you're going to take the trade at whether you're sure to go long and then you have to have the exit. These are all the pieces of the puzzle that you need to make money. Every once in a blue moon I see a gap that I just see the numbers and I see that it's going to have a move but I know it's not really an amazing gap. It still has to fall within a certain criteria level that I'm looking for and INTC just happened to do that the other day. This wasn't some fabulous gap, but I caught the right move in it, knew the price of the entry, had everything down in the target and actually went past and went to the next target. Although I got out of it really at the realistic target. So let's just go over here. Stock opened, rallied, nice entry here dropped into the first level and then down again $28 it hit through it actually went lower the day ended up being 2787 I was out of this by then but this ended up being like almost a five-hour trade if you held it all the way down. It was a three and a half hour trade if you got it all the way down in here. So for something that really wasn't an amazing gap to be able to get this kind of move in it is is really something that I excel at doing because I'm really good at reading the one-minute chart. This is the one-minute chart. This is the one-minute chart of INTC. Now if we go look at this in the day of the actual gap you can see it here. Stock closed the night before here at 2874 and a gap down the next day here at 2838. I don't remember the reason for the gap. I'm not sure if there even was one. I do gaps, bearish gaps, I liked a short for many many reasons, but you can see here how it really wasn't that great of a gap because it opened, dropped, and then flipped. Went over the high closed green of the day but this tally thing is where I got the short and it was a perfect perfect entry over 3R trade and and I just nailed it and this is one of the things I do very well, but I will say though that there are many reasons that stocks gap. Regardless of the reason it has to rate well per the 26-point rating system and you also have to have the entry right to get their risk to reward. Otherwise, you're just taking pot shots and I don't trade like that. Something has to have an exact entry which I had in here and then the stop and and it was really a good one and it was nice and you could have gotten filled in full size in this. It had volume, everything, everything you could have ever asked for and it worked. So this was a nice trade from Thursday. Earning and season is coming up for the last quarter of this year. I cannot wait. There's going to be tons and tons and tons of beautiful golden gaps that rate 20 points or more and lots of setups like this or even better where they go to the dream targets. I'm looking forward to having a strong finish to the end of 2015. For those of you that have already taken the Golden Gap course, it's going to be a good last quarter and for anyone that is interested in the Golden Gap class, the next class is October 17th and 18th. So feel free to email me if you would like to sign up at Melissa at the stockswush.com. Have a great night, everyone.


ou for letting me know so real quickly uh I just wanted to again say thank you for your service with the cab you've been with us for three and a half years uh one of our more senior members at this point um and just a couple of memories that I have well first of all um I think I may have mentioned this once but I through through getting to know Veronica um during her time with the cab um we both realized that we had a personal connection uh her son it was one of my like really good friends in junior high and I didn't realize it until one day she was talking about him like wait and then and I was talking about my mom she's like wait I know your mom and I know your family and you guys used to drive my son to school every day so that was really cool um to be able to make that connection um and then and one of my favorite memories um that that we had was going door to door um for one of our community meetings on homelessness and one of the encampments and we got to go door to door and talk to people and that was just it was really interesting you know people um were so thankful that there there was a group of people coming around letting them know about this meeting that was coming up and they got a chance to air some of their concerns about the encampment in their neighborhood and um so that was a really that really fun and we we bonded over the fact that um we both share a love for low riders um you got to see my my husband's car and and we talked about that too so I will miss you but thank you again for all of your work with the cab um and then uh member Ocanya I've known you forever we've known each other since kindergarten we used to have sleepovers all the time uh so we'll always have that connection but thank you I know that this has been a weird year you've been with us for a full year now um and you hit the ground running with a first couple of meetings and then all of a sudden we were behind a computer so um I wish I wish we were able to get you out into the community and do a lot more engaging because you're awesome at what you do and I just want to thank you for all of your input and all of your um your insightful uh feedback you know for city departments and your advocacy for those who really don't have a voice um you bring that to the table so thank you yay and and feel free cab members jump in if you want to say anything or clap thank you Ben thanks guys I really enjoyed it I didn't you know I wish I could stay on and I I'm so excited about um member Inocencio and member Baldenegro and the new people that you guys have coming on I think this is going to be a fantastic year for you and I hope you get to go out into the community because I think that's probably going to be the best part yeah so I do want to quickly say and I'm hoping to be able to um get it together to organize this better for a future meeting um maybe when Jenny Lynn comes to talk to us we can surprise her um but there were a couple members that did leave us last year and we didn't have the opportunity to actually do this for them and thank them um so I just want to quickly recognize them but hopefully we can bring them back to do it more formally Jenny Lynn Homes was with a cab for six years and I just want to point that out she uh was very tireless in her community engagement effort she was always the the fun uh bright energy that would come to in person tabling events and sometimes a little hard to corral to get her back to the booth because she just wanted to be everywhere talking to everyone um so she left uh right before we started uh meeting again virtually and so hopefully we can get her back she will be coming back to do some presentations for us so um we can uh we can thank her when she comes back um Danny Shaparo his last meeting was in December he was with us for three years he was uh originally appointed by Mayor Corsi and then by Vice Mayor Fleming uh reappointed him when she took over on Council and he was really fantastic he was a voice of you know a lot of our young people and also our Spanish-speaking community particularly in Roseland so hopefully we can get him back so we can thank him and then the last two members were Miles Bergen and Michelle McGarry both were with us for about a year and a half um and unfortunately we didn't get an opportunity because they left again before we started meeting virtually so hopefully we can encourage them to come back and participate in these meetings as members of the public and um just keep connected with them and uh I know that they hope to see all of us again soon uh when we're back out in person tabling at community events so I just keep thinking about the Wednesday market and how much fun that was so can't wait to get back out and start seeing people in person again I'm gonna apologize to the two new members I feel like we're bringing it down a little bit I'm gonna be like send everybody Girl Scout cookies or something for the next week because uh we're gonna have to like pep it up um so thank you so much for all the service and yeah these stories and the connections and things like that I hope that we get to know everybody a little bit more and um as we move forward as well so our last agenda item here before we depart is our future agenda items and um telling you a little bit about the tentative schedule it sounds like we've got that um on our schedule for next month is the city capital improvement program presentation and cab input with the transportation and public works director in February and then all the other ones are a little bit to be determined and you can see those on your agenda if you have it it's a community empowerment plan goal uh one report including listing session data um that's still to come to be drawn in Sonoma county commission on the human rights report as we uh we've gone just a little bit tonight we are in a holding pattern and waiting for the city council um to to have the first crack at talking about that and then we have our homeless count um with Catholic Charities and also the update on uh the Greta's uh village which um that would be the jenny blend homes when she's able to come and schedule in that um and then the hotels purchase there was a suggestion about talking about the the purchasing of hotels for the homeless by the county in Santa Rosa so those ones that are here in in our city um and then community engagement division strategic plan uh the racial equity training and coming up with that piggyback onto that I did is that we just closed out that application process uh for the equity officer or director so that just got closed out so maybe at some point that will not only be uh racial equity training but maybe that will actually be presented by our new equity uh director um so that could be fun uh monthly boards commissions and committee meetings report out and that's usually um monthly so we'll get back to that uh any inputs on that list yes chair Barnett uh I just I got the email notice today that the form 700s are going to be coming up due and we're going to be doing a cab orientation um I don't know if Magali or Danielle you know the city is going to be doing the ethics training and uh the brown act training if that's being geared up because we're seating a lot of new commission and board members and the past we've had that come to the cab especially when we usually this time of year when we seat a new board so I don't know that I'm just putting that out there for the two of you guys to have a discussion with city because it might make more sense to find out if they're doing something internally and and you know but I just know from this time a few years ago when the election cycle is that we would have a brown act training there was an ethics training and the reason it props into my head is because I got my form 700 notice and if any of the board members or if anybody is getting that and they've never filled one out before of a questions you know um it's pretty straightforward but the city's there to help you with that so but I will say it is a big deal and you do have to file it so um thank you ethics training is actually done on your own now they don't come and do that I believe everyone gets a um it's a welcome from the city clerk's office and then that information is in the email definitely brown act training we can talk to the city attorney's office about that I think it is time the last one we had was a couple years ago so thank you yeah I did receive that 700 form I think it was April 1st I want to say that it's that it's due by but that's to do it quickly just get it done um so any other input on the upcoming agenda items doesn't look like it so we'll leave it right no uh remember I think I saw you yeah uh so this we're commenting just on the um the agenda items on section eight an item eight or could we request anything that we would like to hear from or oh great well I think I would like to hear from our our recreation and parks department just to see where we could have some engagement as cap um and maybe you know I'd like to hear from from that department great great suggestion um I don't see any other hands up so uh do we have any public comment there are no hands raised for public comment on item eight great thank you thanks for always being there with um that information about the public comment it looks like that is done our next agenda item is adjournment do we have a motion motion to adjourn all second remember Roberts with the motion and a second I remember oh your last second yeah remember cruise you take it because I might show up next week I will second that remember cruise with the second that was a nice long end off it uh looks like we are adjourned thank you hi everyone all right thank you thank you


Whenever I run into a Nintendo fan, they always ask me one question Hey Reggie, can you tell me about the next Zelda game? As you all know This year at E3 Nintendo shared the first glimpse of the next Zelda game for Wii U Which is well into development Let's head back to Nintendo headquarters in Japan to see what mr. Miyamoto and mr. Ayunuma have been working on World premiere So today, why don't we show a glimpse of how the new Zelda game is shaping up. Sure. Oh And it looks like it's sunset already So we must be looking to the west, right? I wanted everyone to see how beautiful this scene is with the setting sun Oh, wow, he's climbed way up high. Yes, since this is such a huge world We're making a number of high places that offer great views So now you could decide where to go to from here, right? You can see so far This is a good place to look around from and if you see say a suspicious looking tower in the distance You might decide to head there, right? And then you saw that flash there. Whoa, you said a new type of beacon. Yes And now the corresponding place is also marked on the map Since link is here now. This is the distance. He needs to traverse You can also zoom in from here, right? You can by tapping here And you can also zoom out and out and further out. That's a huge world We haven't even seen the whole world yet. This must be the edge of the map How far are we from here to the edge of the map? Yeah, it would take a very long time for link to walk Anyway, we try to go to the point that we marked on the map. Let's go Whoa a few good to know he had the cell cost, right? It played an important role in skyward sword Now it'll be a bit hard to reach our destination on foot, but luckily here we have a horse. Oh Etona long time no see This is a densely wooded area Yeah, I'm hardly touching the control stick You're not touching it. Yeah, and I won't hit any trees real horses don't run into trees very often Well, that seems natural we're working on details like that And not at your hands of free you can do a variety of things on the horse Yes, you can freely change the camera angle for example, and you can swing a sword like normal and Shoot arrows You can take time to aim now Why don't we go to a place where we can aim at enemies with these arrows? There's insect in animal life as well. I saw apples growing here the last time. Yeah, you can pick and eat them This looks a bit suspicious we must be near a dungeon In places like this, I knew a tenant to run into these guys. Oh and everyone there All right.  Yes. Wow. He's your name So how far away is our destination from here? Well, then it'll still take about four or five more minutes. I suppose Four or five minutes more Are you sure that's what we released next year? Yes, all the staff members are working together and doing their best By the way, mr. Mimoto, how about your star Fox title? What? Star Fox, you're asking me that now. No worries about star Fox. Oh, that's good news Star Fox will arrive before the legend of Zelda next year The way ease of the gamepad is really starting to feel good. Oh, but before that comes out. We'll release Majora's mask Right you are We we've made a number of adjustments to Majora's mask and it now feels pretty good on 3ds Yeah, we we made it easier to play without altering the feel of the original game And we've worked on some places where we felt improvements were necessary That's right after 10 years no less It's taken 10 years, but the three-day system is intact And it's so accessible you could even play while chatting like this Well, that's all for now. Thank you for watching


When you say, I'm turning spiritual, you must understand yoga is the methodology. Essentially, your effort is to move away from the ways of the body and get aligned with the another dimension of nature within us. From the surface nature of physicality, we want to get aligned with a deeper nature of inner nature. One important aspect of your physicality is your genetics. So, life repeats itself. You think you're of fresh life, do not underestimate the dead.  You know someone said, leave the dead to the dead? You've forgotten? Two thousand years ago, someone said, leave the dead to the dead. It's not that simple to put the dead to rest just because you box them and buried them or you're an Indian person, you don't trust boxes and burial. You know they could find a way out.  Not only you burned them, you took their ashes and put it in three different rivers and also in the ocean so that they should never again rise. Indians are taking a lot of care about these things because there is a whole science as to how to make sure the dead remain dead, they don't play up. They will play up. In so many ways they're playing up to put them to rest. The best way to put them to rest is there is a distance between you and your body, they're finished. Only if you're identified with your body, they will play up in your life in a hundred different ways. Many of you will notice this, when you're eighteen, twenty, you thought, I'm never going to be my mother or my father, I'm a revolution, you know? All the hippies I'm asking you.   Slowly they're taking charge of you from within.  But forty-fifty years of age slowly they start manifesting themselves, laughing at your revolution. Because putting the dead to the dead is not a simple thing. So can we do this definitely? The entire system of yoga, from the simplest process to the most sophisticated processes of yoga, essentially designed towards this, so that you become a totally fresh life. Nothing of the past should remain. They have great regard and respect for the past because they brought us this far, but we don't want to carry them… we don't want to carry them into tomorrow. We want to leave them there. We understand they are our foundation, but we don't want them to the flower and fruit of future. We want this to be a fresh life.  Genetically you have to distense yourself. In India these days it's becoming weak, but otherwise in Indian families it's very, very important to perform this karmas to the dead. People think this is in remembrance of their forefathers. This is not in remembrance. This is to distense yourself, constant effort to put them away because they'll keep cropping up, not somewhere else, right here within you. In so many ways they keep cropping up. Putting the debt to complete rest means in a way you're liberated because the cycles of the past are over with you. You are a completely fresh blossoming.
