All right, I'm gonna go ahead and get started and welcome everybody to our Amherst Community Chat for Thursday, April 8th. Today, we have Public Health Director Emma Dragon joining us as well as your town manager, Paul Bachleman. My name is Brianna. We were supposed to have Captain Steve Gahn from the Amherst Fire Department here with us today as well to contribute to the conversation about vaccines and the homebound program but he is actually on a live fire call and couldn't make it. He sends us apologies. Priorities, come on. Yeah, duty calls. So let's just get started with a couple of general updates from town manager Paul Bachleman before we hear from Emma. Sure, thanks Brianna. So on Monday, the town council approved borrowing authorization to build a new and restored library and that initiates a process for us to begin receiving funds from the Board of Library Commissioners which will make the project more cost effective for the town because we're able to do it in this fiscal year. So we're excited about that decision by the town council. Another thing that's happening is not this weekend but next weekend is the first farmers market which is kind of a real harbinger of spring. So that will be again this year on the town common not in the Spring Street parking lot and using the same protocols that we established last year. And I mean, this will be a topic that may come up later today but there's a lot of conversation about what's going to happen this summer with COVID as the vaccine becomes more ubiquitous and available to everyone. And we don't know right now we're not gonna be holding our Fourth of July fireworks display because that's a clear probably not gonna happen but last year at this time we were canceling all events. This year we're sort of like maybe delay in terms of see how things work out. So one of the good signs I think is the two colleges and the university have both said that have all said that they plan to be open relatively normal and relatively normal way in the fall. So I think there's light at the end of the tunnel we kept saying and now it's like getting brighter and brighter so it's kind of exciting. Great and I feel that too with the spring weather and the outdoor dining tables and flowers and everything going in. I didn't even mention that, that's true, yeah.  So it feels like spring. So Dragon has joined us multiple times on these community chats but I'd love for you to introduce yourself to folks who might not know you yet. Oh sure, so I'm Emma Dragon. I'm the health director for the town of Amherst. I started this position in November. So with two feet in just boots on the ground getting a lot of great work done couldn't be happier with the vaccine clinics that we've been able to run our contact tracing for our COVID our collaboration with not only our fire department but our public safety and other departments as well to help support these efforts and our new homebound vaccine program which is really being led now with the partnership and under the guise of Captain Steven Gahn. So I will miss him on this because he's definitely a great partner with that but I hope I'll be okay to fill in with the content he was gonna share. Great, thank you. And we have a lot of questions that have been sent to us that we've been getting over the last few weeks from community members that we're gonna go into pose to you, Emma. So I also wanna remind those who are live in the room feel free to contribute your questions or comments to the Q and A or raise your hand via Zoom star nine from the phone so that we can hear from you live. I think one of the first things that we've been hearing about a little bit more you mentioned this homebound program we know Captain Gahn was supposed to be here to talk a little bit about that but can you say what that is? Is it just for Amherst? Can other towns sign up for this? Or what are their criteria? Yeah, so we Amherst is sponsoring the homebound program which is really being led in partnership with the Hampshire Preparedness Coalition in partnering with that. So we are providing homebound vaccine meaning individuals that are unable to leave their home or require two person assistants or an ambulance to lead their home for vaccine. So under the direction of the state with certain guidelines, we're able to provide that on a regional level here. We are performing that for all 20 Hampshire County communities including Sunderland, which is in Franklin County but right next door to us here. So we're just so happy to be a partner for them. And for that, we have an online form which is on our town COVID website. We also have a phone line that Amherst residents can call here. If we have residents of other towns that are in the program they can call their council on aging or board of health to get enrolled.  We try to organize assignments based off of locations. So we can do it in a expeditious manner an organized manner. And then Steve Gahn with the assistance of our health department staff helps coordinate that. And then we have a great team of public health nurses and as well as our fire department paramedics that come out and do those vaccines. And how many vaccines or how many patients have you had through that program so far? Yeah, so we've done over 2000, not 2000 I'm thinking of our clinic over 200 vaccines with the homebound program so far which is over 140 patients in about 10 communities which is just incredible work. And we're just really happy to be able to go out and connect with those people, those families and make them feel acknowledged and valued. And if you have somebody that you know that is homebound that would be benefiting from this program, Dragon mentioned it earlier but amherstCOVID19.org slash vaccine we have a link there for the homebound form as well as a phone number if you have wanna call somebody. So you mentioned a little bit about the general main vaccine clinic you were about to say something in the thousands. So how many people or how many doses have been given out at our clinic? Yeah, that is another really exciting number which is just under 7,000 Breanna. This week we're gonna break 7,000 vaccines which is just shots and arms, incredible work that we're doing for our community between the regional Northampton and Amherst sites we've administered over 27,000 vaccines together which is just about half the vaccines that have been administered in Hampshire County. So just incredible work by Public Health. That's really impressive especially now that we see this big focus on these mass vaccination sites. It's really important to highlight the work that's being done locally in our community. So one question that I think I've been monitoring the info, the COVID concerns line and something people are asking right now is what doses, what brands do you have? Are we doing all of the available brands or what would people get when they come to our clinic? Yeah, so that's a great question. So first we started with the Moderna vaccine. We continue to administer Moderna for some first but mostly second doses. We also have the one dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine which is we do some clinics with that. And then the majority of our vaccine that we get allocated from the state with our regional collaborative partnership is that Pfizer vaccine. So we're doing all three Breanna which we're really excited about. And I know recently that I think maybe just yesterday it was announced by the governor's office of how regional collaboratives like Amherst and Northampton are now going to be part of the state's pre-registration program. Can you tell people what that means and how they go about even getting pre-registered? Yeah, so we're gonna be doing a mix of continuing what I call our live registration for new appointments on Wednesdays at 11 o'clock that people can expect that on our town website on the Amherst night. You know it by heart, Breanna. What's the website again? Amherstcovid19.org. There you go. But you can get there from our homepage. There's five or six different buttons that lead you there. So whichever one is easier for you. Yeah, and people now, like you're saying are gonna have the opportunity to access appointments after they pre-register through the state system. So to do that, people would go to vaccinesignup.mass.gov and you would put in your information. And then after you pre-register you would get weekly status updates from your preferred contact method whether that's your cell phone or an email. And then as appointments become available near you you would be contacted by the state and then you would be provided a link to select an appointment within 24 hours of obtaining that link. So a little bit less pressure you don't have to feel like you're constantly by that computer to be able to make appointments. And we are really excited. Amherst and Marshfield are their first two regional collaborative sites to be able to provide this. So it's just really a great time for us to know that we're gonna be able to access that for our constituents, for our community members. So is that available now or is that gonna be available? Yeah, so that, yeah. Sorry, Paul, I'm just so excited about it. So our appointments started going out through the state yesterday. So we've already had several appointments, quite a few booked through that pre-registration method from the state for this coming week. Very exciting. And that's not the only kind of update in terms of how we're getting people registered. We recently are switching to a new platform and I know there's some advantages to that.  Yeah, so the state is changing over software platforms from a company called PrepMod to a new company that's a Google-based platform which is much more comprehensive, titled Color. With that, we have the ability for individuals to, it saves their information to be able to book their second appointment on site in just about 10 seconds while they're here and it will be able to track first and second doses. So it's really more comprehensive. It has that nice visual and experience for the user. So we're really excited about that. And one question we've been getting a lot, people who have had their first dose with our clinics, how do they go about getting their second dose during this transition? So do you have any tips for those folks who might be wondering that? Yep, so starting with appointments for people who came for first doses April 1st, we've been emailing them right after the clinics with links to schedule for their second doses. If for some reason people don't get that email or aren't comfortable or tech native to be able to figure that out with the internet, we are happy to assist them. They can call us here at the health department at 259-3077. And then I do believe we've gotten several calls on the COVID concerns line. But I know here at the health department we're also able to help. Let's talk a minute about the COVID concern line because it's a really, I think one of the hallmarks of our success as a town. So we early on in the process, I mean, Brianna, you set this up, we had a special call in number and we dedicated staff to answering all of those calls either in real time on weekends or we call back everyone who calls. And that has really set us apart from the 211 call that the state has set up where they would promise a return call within seven days or something ridiculous like that. And that's not what people needed. So it's been quite an arduous task because we've been doing most of it with existing staff and the people in our office and then been supported through the health department and the council on aging, the senior center all have been sort of chipping in to help people find vaccines. And it's an ongoing effort, especially when we were struggling with PrepMod which is the old system of signing people up. Everyone's experience at home who was trying to set it up through that system just take that experience and multiply that a thousand fold for our staff who are answering the phones here. So the fact that we're moving to this new system is good but I just want to give a shout out to the staff who've been answering all those calls but it's people call with a lot of anxiety and just the urgency of needing to get the vaccine which we want to help them get. And then we were always limited by the supply. So it seems like Emma's like look forward to your interpretation. It feels like there's more vaccines sort of in the air or at least they're reallocating it differently. And I think it'd be interesting if people know how there are different channels for vaccine to come into the state. It's not all coming from one source necessarily. Is that accurate? That is accurate. So there are really two different streams. There's the federal allocation which a lot of the pharmacies are under that partnership like CVS, Walgreens, Big Y, all of those pharmacies get direct vaccine from the federal allocation. The state of Massachusetts also gets this other bucket which then the Department of Public Health has to distribute in an effective manner. That's where the vaccine for the majority of the mass vaccination sites, the general sites like the UMass vaccine site at their campus center, which is fantastic. And then the local boards of health, the local and regional collaboratives get a bucket out, a little slice out of that state bucket. Yeah, I don't think it's a whole bucket. Yeah, I was waiting to see what noun you used there. I started to say bucket and then I was like, it's not a bucket. Maybe it's got some holes in it, dear Liza, but we're gonna make it through. Yes, I agree with your feeling, Paul. The general sense is that more vaccine is on the way. I think with more people becoming vaccinated, the eligibility for people to sign up kind of opening up so that everyone will be able to register and pre-register following April 19th is just really exciting to see. More people feeling more comfortable with the vaccines, having less vaccine hesitancy and seeing the good impacts that it can have with our community. I wonder with potentially the requirements opening up on April 19th for all, what do you recommend for people to do now? Should everybody just pre-register and get on there as part of the process or? Yeah, I don't see a reason why people shouldn't feel comfortable pre-registering even if you're in the queue for that pre-registration system. There isn't a reason why you couldn't possibly still look on the CVS sites or for other new and upcoming appointments. I think any extra way that people can feel like they're gonna access that vaccine sooner than later, closer to home in the way that's gonna be right for them, I wanna encourage everyone to do that. I'm just gonna take a quick pause to say for those who are live in our Zoom room or watching us on Facebook Live, again, feel free to post a comment if you're on Facebook Live or use the Q&A and or raise your hand in Zoom so we can hear from you if you have any questions about public health or about general town happenings. But one thing, oh, go ahead, Paul. I have a question. So President Biden announced that April 19th was a date to make everyone eligible. Does that automatically flow to the state or has the governor agreed to that same deadline, that same opening? Yeah, actually, Massachusetts had already planned for that date before Biden announced it. So that was great to see that Massachusetts was planning even ahead of the federal government. So April 19th, it is open for anyone 16 and older for vaccine. And I know that they're doing some research for the children right now and individuals under 16. So hopefully that availability will come out after the FDA reviews that this summer. But for right now, it's individuals 16 and above. And is it your understanding that if someone were 16 or 17 that they'd automatically get flagged for the correct brand right now that is possible for that age? I think especially with the new system titled Color, I believe that is in the software. With PrepMon, it's had to be a little bit more human dependent rather than computer generated, but Color does seem to have those built-in abilities. That's great. Well, one thing while we wait for anybody to submit a live question, this has been a long year plus and there's loads of other public safety, public health issues and concerns that haven't really been as much in the spotlight lately. So are there other things that you see as important public health issues that people should be paying attention to in addition to COVID? Sure, I always like to highlight mental health. I think mental health and wellness is definitely an area where we could all improve with our self-care, reaching out to our family members and friends and making sure that people are doing okay and supporting them if they're not doing well. I know with springtime and nice weather, I'm starting to see lots of individuals out on their bicycles or maybe rollerblading or skating and just remember people remembering that even with that nice weather and those fun activities to do them safely and wear helmets so we can reduce concussions and had injuries and then also with the sun, even though sometimes it doesn't feel very hot outside right now, still being aware of the sun exposure and making sure that we're protecting our skin with sunblock I think are really important. And one thing is maybe not a public health issue but you can tell me if it is or not. And I know our assistant and town manager would be happy to hear about this that with the warming temperatures, people sometimes feel inclined to go jump into Puffer's pond or some of our rivers and to be really conscious that the water temperatures are still extremely cold and to think before you do something like that, it might be 70 degrees out this weekend but the middle of Puffer's pond or even at a certain depth is very, very cold and can lead to shock very, very quickly. We had an unfortunate incident several years ago around this time of year and it's something that we try to remind people of. Yeah, that's a really important one because young adults and people with their kids, you think, oh, it's so warm out and you'd start to wade into Puffer's pond and that was just two years ago or three years ago and it was at graduation, a recent very, just a recent graduate attempted to swim across Puffer's pond and didn't make it and because of the cold and there's nothing you can do about that and it's just very, it takes a long time for bodies of water to warm up and so people need to be really careful about it and you see people wanting to go to Puffer's, right? When the weather starts to warm up and we're happy about that but we have to be incredibly vigilant, I just don't wanna have a situation like that again. And we do have signs, I believe if they've not been posted today, they should be shortly at both Puffer's pond and Stanley Street Bridge, which are popular swimming holes in Amherst with this information to that effect and we'll be also sharing this information out with the broader community. But if your friend is looking to go swimming, just give them, share that information with them. But the one thing we are going to do, we are going to open up our swimming pools a week earlier than we normally do. So that'll be earlier in June than typically, I think the water still would be cold but people will have been, we've been all pent up so in our homes and not able to do the things we normally do that that'll be a good thing for our community, I think. And speaking of pools, again, I wanna give one last call out for anybody who is in our room right now, feel free to pop your question or comment in the Q&A or raise your hand. We are, I guess my trainer thought was speaking of pools, we are hiring a recreation director which has just been posted. So feel free to share that news as well, a very important position in our town, especially as we look into these warmer weather where people can be outside doing these activities. So one thing I wanted to give, drag and a chance to do is something that wasn't asked of you or some sort of call to action regarding public health or COVID or vaccines that you could leave the community members with. Sure, well, actually this week is National Public Health Week. So I just wanted to, which every year is the first week of April and I wanted to celebrate all of our public health workers, nurses, community support individuals, our interns for the health department, all of the town employees and countless departments that have helped us support the public health efforts that we've had since with the beginning of COVID. Like you said, Paul, all of that support with the COVID concerns line just incredible and that have made our response possible for our community and also to help us address health equity during the COVID response, especially in Amherst. We continue to have that on the forefront but really just celebrating everyone's work this entire last year, but especially this week for our public health support. So thank a public health worker if you speak with one or interact with one this week but hopefully all the time, I'm sure it goes a long way as Dragon could attest to. All right, so we're coming up at the close of our 30 minutes. Paul, is there anything that you wanted to ask of Dragon or anything you wanna leave the community members with? I think we covered a lot of territory already, so thank you. Yeah, Dragon's answers are very efficient and I like that. She gives a lot of good information concisely, so we appreciate you, Dragon. Thanks, Brianna. All right, well, I'm gonna say thank you to all who have tuned in. We will put this up on our channel within the next hour or so and we'll be back next week at noon as well as every Thursday at noon. We'll see you then. Thank you.


First video of the year. I'd be lying if I Said this was the the first video of the decade I thought I was going to make and I wasn't sure if I wanted to kick off the decade and this year on my channel this way But the more I thought about it the more I realized there is no other way I wanted to kick off this year then to try and help more people Before I really get into it I want to say that all the revenue from this video all the revenue from anyone that may buy this book and we're gonna get to That there is an Amazon link down below for this book. I just want to say it now very important book to me There's an Amazon link down below It's a referral link and I will take that money and I will donate it to charity and then the video that is Releasing today right now at the same time as this one on my brand new channel Which I is is the first time I'm even mentioning this all the money that video makes on my new channel will also be donated to Charities what charities you may be asking? The same charities that I donated to in my live stream last year to raise awareness towards mental illnesses like depression and anxiety And so many others those charities being ones such as the American suicide prevention Foundation and the Trevor project you can find links to all of them below those where that's where I'll be Donating and what is this? Can you guys see this?  Okay. You look sweet It was a very spur of the moment live stream where I wanted to raise $5,000 We smashed $5,000 in the first 30 minutes and we went on over the next 12 hours to raise $42,000 which equaled about $10,000 after fees and everything for all the four charities We were raising money for it was amazing. It was therapy for a lot of us I got to share a lot of my stories and hear a lot of your stories and help each other And I wanted to do more with that this year Obviously I was gonna do it again be stupid for me not to do it again But I wanted to do more I wanted to do something bigger and grander and what I have done is something I feel is really cool. You guys might remember if you watch my channel I reviewed super lucky tail recently where I got to go to playful studios and meet the people behind the game Well, a lot of those people actually connected with me and showed so much appreciation for everything I have done for mental health and shared their stories and when I told them I wanted to do another live stream They showed me this really awesome live stream set up that they have and they Suggested they asked they pleaded even for me to hold the live stream at their studio next time and that's what I'm gonna do because it is a Wonderful incredible studio. There's so much room.  It's all going down this time. I'm gonna give more warning It's all going down on May 8th, and it's gonna go 24 hours into May 9th I'm gonna make sure that for at least some of it There is going to be an actual real therapist on hand that you can ask questions to We might have a system where you can call in or text in and talk to an actual therapist because that's a big thing I feel a lot of people are either too afraid to go and see a therapist or people just can't afford therapy It's expensive. So this could be a way of getting free therapy I'm going to pay out of my pocket for a therapist to be there to help you and to help people and we can And we can still share our stories But also just have a lot of fun people hanging out and having a great time while spreading this positivity and these messages that you are not alone that you are never alone and I know last year when we did this I was so down and depressed and when you were donating I feel maybe Possibly you were donating the show support to me and the situation I was in as much as you were donating to show all these people we were helping support So I want to implore you that even though I am in a better place this year and it's going to be a much more fun and positive event in itself There are still thousands millions of people out there that are doing much worse than they were last year that are doing as bad as I was Doing last year or worse definitely worse People that are suffering people that need help people that don't know how to get that help and just this Livestream might help them let alone the money that we raise So please we raised 42,000 last time the audience my channel You guys have grown and become an even bigger community We can crush that and I really want to crush that together and do something truly special together So yes, I need your help once again. Hey, is it my turn yet? Can I? Cut in there. Can I worm my way into this video? No, no, it's not because it's my time to talk about Supermarket as I said a book that's very important to me So you're gonna have to wait after you're done watching this video Make sure to check out the hottest freshest new youtuber on the scene with zero subscribers right now good to see you Not me. Oh man. What an amazing opportunity for this channel Which currently has zero subs to be shouted out by this channel with almost a million Wow that Never happens Yeah, well, this is awkward I cannot recommend this book supermarket enough the book is written by Bobby Hall who you might know is logic the artist who wrote Saying made the song one eight hundred two seven three eight two five five, which the song obviously Tackles suicide and depression in itself I mean that number that is the title of the song is the number for the national suicide prevention lifeline I think it's just brilliant too because that song has billions of views from people connecting with it And if they have me to remember that number They just have to remember the song title like Bobby slash logic is such an advocate for mental health And has become an inspiration of mine over the last year I actually didn't realize how much of an advocate he was until and this is a little bit of a humble brag after my Video I made last year. He inboxed me on Twitter and offered to send me his book which again tackles depression anxiety and mental illnesses And I really wanted to read it. Unfortunately. I saw his message like two months late if you're watching this one Bobby Sorry, it went to my message requests and by the time I replied Bobby had moved on with his life, which is fair So I just bought the book myself and I loved it from front to back I haven't read a book since my teenage years, but I couldn't put this thing down The book is mind-bending it says on the back that it's compared to fight club like someone else compared it to fight club But it definitely the whole time that I was reading it. It's hard to not make those comparisons But at the same time it's completely its own story. It's its own trip to experience the book follows a character called Flynn who is writing a book and that book that he writes throughout this book ends up being this book Following along with me and this character is dealing with a lot Emotionally experiencing his first panic and anxiety attacks and not really knowing what they are But for all the dark themes that does deal with it still manages to be a very exciting story And that's what I love about it so much if you have depression if you've gone through these things I feel like you can really relate with this book And if you haven't you can honestly learn what those things are like what it's like to experience having an anxiety attack A lot of it breaks the fourth wall to like because he is writing this book that you're reading Sometimes he will trip himself up as he's writing it and start thinking about what he is going to write in the book That you're reading and then he'll even apologize For reminding you that you are reading a book and taking you out of that experience But at the same time it adds to the experience Especially when you start thinking about the themes it deals with like these mental disorders like talking to yourself like Schizophrenia like that whole fourth wall breaking really works within the confines of this story that he's telling and yet As dark as it is It's really fun and obviously being compared to Fight Club You can kind of maybe gather the theme of that before you even go into the books like what is real and what isn't real while reading it I was loving it, but I kind of thought that I was predicting certain things I really thought I had it figured out and I really didn't have it figured out Flynn is a writer writing this book He wants to base his book in a supermarket So he gets a job working in a supermarket and the characters that he meets there are the characters that he starts To write into his book. I'm not gonna read it out I actually tried to do a whole video where I read out parts of the book But the video ended up being so stupidly long that I couldn't even edit it down to a normal amount for a video But on page 36 is where he really has his first big breakdown But then reading Bobby write these words on the page and it happens multiple times throughout the book where he writes something And I'm like that's me. That's I'm not that's not just me And I think that's why this book is so therapy to me It also taught me something about myself I didn't know and that's that I have a very hyper attentive mind this character of Flynn His mind is always racing all over the place and he can't chill out He's always thinking of a million things at once which is why he gets distracted and that ends up reminding you that you're even reading A book in the first place and in this book this character struggles with that and trying to be present in the moment and That had really taught me that I need to be more present in the moment I need to enjoy moments more. Yes, there's a lot going on. Yes. YouTube is going well for me Yes, I want to start a new channel. Yes There's a lot of things that I need to be done and can be done at any given time But there are just moments where you need to turn that off and just chill and learning that I had like and I never even thought about it Either I never thought about the fact that I always have a million thoughts in my head I just assumed that's how things were and I was able to try and control that over the last couple weeks By just taking a break and spending time with Kim again It's an incredible book that has a lot of twists and turns and I feel like a lot of you are gonna end up grabbing it So I don't want to ruin any of it I will say that the very first scene of the book like the very first thing you read the very first chapter is Essentially what happens right at the end of the book the main character Flynn is standing over a body of someone that he had Just murdered and he doesn't really seem to care and as you start to learn about Flynn that Situation makes no sense like why why that's not him So what got to that point is really what drives you forward in this book But there's so much that happens on each page that you just want to keep going this book aside I just want to recommend like Bobby Hall appreciation day logic in general as a person to be inspired by Because again his book obviously he's very passionate about spreading this awareness, but also through his music I mean that one song he has is incredible of course doesn't just stop at that song so much of his music reflects this too There's a song called wannabe which tackles depression and social media and getting likes and follows on your stuff And how that affects your mental health and if you don't get as much likes It's this guy or your friend it affects yourself worth his music is really freaking great So I can't recommend enough him as an artist, but listening through a lot of his songs And you might learn something about yourself or it might just be therapy for you read his book He's he's he's become an inspiration of mine again link below anything I earned from that affiliate link will be donated to American Suicide Prevention Foundation Again, this video will be donated and then that video that you're about to watch right hello, right? Hello, click on that video now that video will be donated if it even makes any money because I don't even know I think I'm monetized. I'm not sure. I think I have to get a thousand subs first To end this as I said, I already tried shooting this video a few times and I edited one completely and the end of that video I edited was very real and very raw and I'm gonna end this by playing that Finally, finally, and I've been putting off really been putting off this. Oh My god, this is why I put it off. I can't even say it Hmm This live stream this time will be dedicated in honor to Edgar and I talk about that more in that video. I Love you guys so much. Thanks so much Before I took my little break the channel had just hit 800,000 subscribers and I was like cool That's a good place to end It's a good break for a while and then I came back after not looking at the channel for like over a week and It had like 825,000 so If you're new if you're one of those new 25,000 There's a video might have been a bit much

that have changed with this new gambit prime mode compared to normal gambit well now players can drain molds directly from the enemy team there are new mechanics during their prime evil fight which require teams to work together much like what we'd see face enough against a raid bus sounds quite cool with this prime mode also new armor sets have been introduced which allow players to be represented by armor for select roles four roles for variants of armor each meaning your role is set for a single thing or each armor is unlocked for you doing a certain thing while playing gambit reaper is the player who kills as many combatants as possible the collector is the player who collects those molds the sentry is the player who clears up the taken to help deal damage against the prime evil and the invader is the person who invades with the queen breakers and wipes out the entire team in a matter of seconds note that these armor sets will be unlocked for the various different things they are represented by like i said uh banking molds to unlock the collector set invade and kill for the invader set as simple as that people but they do mention these roles ain't a set thing if a team wants to go into a match all around the invader set they can just to confuse the other team i guess there will be two maps coming arcadia which will be available within the first week and then we'll get a second map called deep six on the second week when the jokers world drops after the first gambit match we will then get access to a new pve activity called the reckoning which takes place on the plains of the nine we see that the drifter and the nine are up to no good working together cooking something up within this trailer no not anymore it's drifter now season of the drifter there's some super deep lore with drifter and the nine they're working with him for some reason the reckoning is what i can imagine mayhem cross the forge would be like seems quite fun to be honest chaos bullets explosions fired a lot bring it on a lot like a manic horde mod where we have to push forward through stages at first we will only have access to tier one but over time tier two three four and so forth will unlock thing is this is tied to that gambit prime mode the reckoning and gambit prime are like back and forward activities meaning i believe players will have to play both to progress in both that i ain't sure about if i'm honest gambit i ain't too keen on i mean gambit prime may change my mind and that but the reckoning does sound quite fun to me but hey if i have to sacrifice one round of gambit here and there to play the reckoning i will do so so what else is there people well there are new pinnacle weapons one for the crucible and one for the vanguard the crucible ones called the recluse and the vanguards one is called the oxygen sr3 we can also see what i believe the main benefits of each weapons will be the recluse kills with any weapon improves its weapons damage for a short time and the oxygen dragonfly deals more damage based on the number of precision hits made beforehand the fawn also returns people which we've known about for ages now the quest for this i believe starts on week two so what else is there are there any more exotics well i believe there's one more exotic quest as they state there's two exotic quests obviously ones for the fawn the other i guess will be for the rolls which you saw leaked so last week what we do see is more print people there is an exotic quest for annual pass holders only interesting so if there's only two exotic weapon quests and ones for annual pass holders only mmm that makes you think people also with the joke as well they will introduce power surge bounties these allow players to catch up and get to that 640 power level in a matter of two hours great for those who are stuck in the past and can't get past a certain power level there are some great looking weapons too which we have seen can't wait to never get any of these because my rng absolutely sucks us gambit private matches will also be introduced there will be new emotes as you can imagine a new spring event called the and while we play all of this bunch are working on the next season which is called the season of the opulence this is just the beginning of a conversation that we're gonna have with you about where destiny can go right now the teams upstairs testing season of opulence we're already building plans for how to make the thing comes out after that even better there's a thing that comes out after that oh until then go check out gambit crime so plenty to look forward to guys i won't lie destiny may even pull me back from apex legends we will see things i didn't see or hear anything from though within this viaduct which are a little underwhelming are no new exotic armor pieces like what no new raid or raid layer like what only two new exotic weapons both apart of quests really no new vanguard weapons or armor no new crucible weapons or armor only pinnacle stuff nothing on faction rallies we knew nothing was coming with the trials and as we know the nine hour two busy up their drifters but so we ain't getting that to at least september so yeah many many questions still remain what i do hope is they will be hidden exotic somewhere even the game which i didn't want to let slip and there will be exotic armors too for us to find and use maybe even new vanguard and crucible weapons and armors too that would be quite cool but i could be just dreaming here people but yeah that's about it but there are no doubt other points in the video i ain't covered but nothing of real importance in my opinion now what i normally do is break down this video massively and bring you guys a massive detailed video of it which i may do later today just wanted to get a quick video out for you guys covering what i think is the most important parts i hope you enjoyed it if you did leave a like really does help out if you are new around here and enjoy daily destiny two videos be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video upload turn notifications on by hitting that bell button but guys tell me what you think about this season of the drifter and hopefully i will see you on that next one


Can I just restart? This is a multimedia day as you can see. We're starting Professor Norris' session first of all with some music and then he is talking to us, but there probably won't be time for questions at the end. Thank you. I'd like to introduce George Parris and the Carras Singers, who will start by singing Harold Noble's setting of Livgate's poem, Henry IV, Adolfo, and then joined by the ladies of the Carras Singers after I've spoken for a little bit, they will end the session by singing Edward Rendle's dramatic ballad, And in Caughton, which is a setting of Draton. So this is Livgate. I'll give you a deal. Helen Deeming has written a marw's article in The Music, where she suggests that it may have originated as a unison effusion in London, which Mark Henry's victorious return, and that it was later in East Anglia worked up in the counterpoint that the unison only retained as a reminder of the original occasion. This facsimile of the Adolfo Carras, which you'll get to know better, was published by FullerMate. In his general history of music, Charles Burnley presents his transcription with a very difficult dismissiveness, a faithful copy of this venerable relic of our nation's prowess and glory in the beginning of the 15th century. From which we are perhaps entitled to more, however, than from the poetry and music with which they were then celebrated, which Echeops, the comment in Perse's relics of 1765, which had presented the lyrics without the tune, that our plain and martial ancestors could wield their swords much better than their penins, will appear from the following homely rhymes. None of these 18th-century publications, nor some ghastly reharmonisations by Edward Rhyngold in 1847 and William Chappell in 1855, succeeded in establishing the cowl in the public mind. In fact, Adolfo's musical legacy took almost 500 years to arrive. The battle merits a brief mention, along with Chrissy, in a patriotic pop-boiler of 1803 by Charles Dibb-Dibb, and those here has lived with Chrissy. 1803 was no time really to remember. In 1865, Colonel Woodhouse, of whom we heard this morning, with bandmaster James Smith produced a certain best cover, though possibly the worst music. Only after Fuller Maitland had published his transcription of the carol roll that was in the Library of Trinity College in Cambridge in 1891, with his frontispiece that fits in with it, did the idea of Adolfo reeling into repertoire, the best of the offerings of the 1890s appeared in 1897. Perhaps, as a jubilee tribute, Edward Rhyngold's Andrew Cotter, a balladw of Emond Rheddon from Barraic, Henry Seyre and Poros, with trumpets hewed into the piano accompaniment, a sitting in the famous ballad that begins to air so the wind of the frangos. It's a very well-wraught ten minutes, and we shall hear it just after a while. In 1913, Wraith or Wins wrote incidental music for Sir Frank Benson's Stratford season, which included Henry V performed by a Stratford grammospam bodies and some of their female relatives. It was a cost-cutting exercise, and the incomplete orchestral parts in the Shakespeare Memorial Library in Stratford revealed that the Attencock cow tune opens the air material, the first time the cow had been used in the composition. And it's saying that this particular Stratford folder has not previously been noticed by musicians, so this is actual news, the fact that Vaughan Williams was the first person to use the Attencock cow in a piece of music. Interestingly enough, the details of the words that he used show that he used the Bob Dylan line version, rather than the one that resigned from his own copy. In 1933, Vaughan had revisited that 1913 overture, and he recombaged it for Raspam, interpreting martial fanfares at a pastoral section based on French folk tune Magani, which appeared in several instrumental numbers in his incidental music for the play. Both versions of that adventure end with the early Oxford's march, but in the 1933 rewrite, Bormins introduces the old French marching song, Reve Be Gare, which didn't feature anywhere in the 1913 music. And I wonder whether it was his discovery of that melody that prompted his revision. The revision, oddly enough, was not performed until 1979. That becomes less surprising when we know that Bormins made a note on the manuscript that he wanted trumpets, not cornets, with their brass band, which is not a remark calculated to please brass bands. I've jumped back to 1919. The Royal College of Music was counting the cost of the Great War. The Royal College of Music's War Memorial is a very honoured thing, as you enter that mighty building. So Charles Stanford had seen many of his composition students enlist, and he wrote a substantial orchestral movement called A Summer of Etiquot in commemoration of those members of the college who fought, worked and died for their country. It was first performed at the college on the 25th of March 1919. Stanford, also a Trinity man, and Bormins' teacher at the RCM, had been interested in J.A. Fuller Maintenance transcriptions of ancient musical manuscripts when they were undergraded together. So you could see a little knot of musicians grouping round Fuller Maintenance, a Trinity in Cairing, which is a Fuller Maintenance from Stanford, and Stanford's group of Bormins and also a Trinity man. All were using the actual call to Canada. Like all British composers of his generation, most of them had studied at Leipzig. Stanford was soaked in the idioms and habits of German musical thought. During the Great War, most of the German music had been shunned by promoters and audiences. This was almost as disconcerting to professional musicians as of today any music with, say, an American source was banned in Britain. No more jazz, no more rock music. And one result was to leave a space which younger, consciously English composers could fill during the 1920s. In this context, Stanford's choice of the ethical melody for his group is significant. A melody that commemorates an English victory in France, certainly, but above all, a melody that can have no hint of German influence. And he tries hard to try and have another new directions as well. I've got a few excerpts of the piece to play for you. Here is the opening of Stanford's song of ethical, in which you're here for the famous tune. Next in half, Stanford harmonises those little modal twists. He's changed his harmony language slightly there. That was the, as far as we know, the second performance that replaced last chorus. And we played about the last orchestra conducted by Howard Shelly. And so, Stanford chose the emblem, as it were, of the ethical melody, precisely so that he didn't continue to write German music. The main twist is one way. There's a very interesting slow tune here in that pastoral, where he almost imitates a genre that his own pupils had invented on the way. I think they're very much English pastoral music. And another way that Stanford banded to avoid Germanic references was to write an Irish jewellty. It was derived from the ethical melody there in the South East. That actually is the capital point of the theme. So, in 1919, as Stanford produced his song of ethical, the League of the Arts, or National and Civic Society, published the Motherland song of ethical. A rather pointedly title song, I think. And it included Stanford's song, as there were no land in England. Hathriarchic stars from many of Stanford's pupils, including Geoffrey Shaw's arrangement of the Adygold song. Shaw provided a discount for the second verse. Those of you who were brought up on some sort of praise were meant to sort of a discount for Shaw. In 1935, the BBC commissioned Walter Lee's overture on Adygold. He said that he thought that it was something to do with me. And I have here, Walter Lee is not very well manned. You'll see why I'm manned, but he's a... No, that's not what I'm talking about. You'll regret that. I'll regret that. Here's a rather charming picture of Walter and the future, Mrs Lee, in 1933. And the overture is going to be performed, the only performance of this overture this year. An overture called Adygold. The only performance of it this year will be in Southampton on Saturday. More anon. Lee's mother was German, and Lee studied at Cambridge and in Berlin. And he introduces the Adygold character as a pastoral interview, moving through sorrow to a solemn sobriety, quite unlike his usual trial of the treatment. The overture remained unpublished at the time of his death from friendly fire at the Battle of Tobruk in North Africa in 1942, which is why we don't know very much about him. It was in 1944 that Walton composed the most enduring Adygold score for Lawrence and the Beistelmen depending on the fifth. Mike Kennedy, who knew better than those, was well told that Walton consulted all millions about the music. And so it's not surprising to find him incorporating the tune of Réveillil Pigard, how it is the tune of all millions he's gone, to a personified French and a fine battle fugato of the typical Victorian figure. Reviewing the music in the series Musical Matters in tempo, Hubert Clifford wrote, I had never previously been aware of the essential Englishness of Walton. But in Henry V, there was an authentic English musical voice, as English in its own way, as that of Elgar or Williams, which I find the most entreat. Harold Douglas' part song from 1947, We've Heard. It was part of the Mortimer series of modern part songs and the very next item in the series was Elizabeth of England by Hayden Wood. So the occasion of both compositions may have been our present Queen's Cabin of Age. I'd like to finish this part of this quick survey of Anticorps music, before we have more of my music, with a reference to my own lead of the Anticorps song, in my East turning box, which also will be performed in Southampton on Saturday, along with William Walton and Walter Lee. I'll show you our poster, you might recognise the album. Lloro, the art from the Rhinocore. Mike Lee, I use a disjointed version of the caramelpy to account for the mint of one of Alan Chathier's Cats for Darn. But the chief presentation in my piece of the Anticorps carol is a carol premude, a fughal piece with inversions and stettos to be taken apart, where it appears in a manner reminiscent, and I'm rather pleased with this, reminiscent of the armed men in Mateshine's Magic Food. Since the premiere is not until Saturday, I didn't play you a synthesised version of the section, and I will do that. You'll have to put up with the synthesised song. We come out of my own setting of first of the mint for France and into Henry's Entrance, which culminates in a quotation from Elgar's pasta, Henry's boiled theme, and then into the Rha premude, and you'll hear the carol in the men's voices being deep octaves, as in the Mateshine. And I'll just find it here. So this is an extract from my piece of turning points, and it's the Anticorps carol in Anticorps. I'm no mere description of Henry. He was in his youth a diligent follower of idle practises. He said that I'm not in cello voices, and I'm saying to Professor Currie for her help. He's seeking funding on how to sang from the Anticorps in memory from the Anticorps 600, and it will be repeated in St Paul's Church, on the paper first, along with my family and church. You're all very welcome. So to sum up, before we have more live music, Anticorps owes its unique place of music to the strength of its carol to, whose stringless phrases fall, only to leap up again. The melody is so near in time to the battle, that it felt to grow up to the actual experience of life it worked. No other battle has spawned a comfortable tune that multiple pioneers of modern-age song-back-on-gail ruled out any rivalry from mal-placade. The nearest carol is the 1683 Siege of Vienna, which introduced Turkish music, based on client and symbols, into being these classical music, a process that reaches out to you in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. But that's a texture, not a tune, it's not just a song-back-on-gail to be rather than a war or pity or even a triumph of a war. Once Eric Coates is out of copper 1927, we may see something done with the Devastus, but until then the fortuitous relevance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony's Leitha Victory involves Coates as a symbol of the Second World War merely emphasises that. The ancient tune is musically most fruitful when it embodies some aspect of the idea of Anticorps. In Stanford and Walton, we see it as a keen to national identity. In Leith's regretful pastoral, we may see a conscious internationalism. These ideas remain a contentious issue for the lobe, and having got powerful musical code that may have played out yet in both the articulation of aspiration and the warnings of the wise to the future, which reminds me that the most important line of libretto is taken from the Mark Wilson days, which is, the animals of France should have served as lesson to the role of France in all of this. Now, we're going to be joined by the carous singers again and their director, George Paris, and we're going to conclude this session with Edward Reynolds' massacre. It's impossible to tell, of course, how much the two pieces that you've heard this afternoon have been performed since they were written, but I should imagine very, very little.
