This person to answer the three questions, Mr. Bikas, Renjan Bhattacharya, who's the Kolkata, the head of the Kolkata-Minsborough Cooperation, the mayor. Thank you very much. This is really a very important session, so far I'm concerned. Now, I'm in entirely in agreement with the co-chairman's point of view that there should be inclusive city growth, otherwise, city cannot survive. Particularly, while talking, on behalf of the city of Kolkata, you must all be aware that this is a very old city, which had suffered the famine, which had suffered a huge amount of influx of refugees because of partition of the country at the time of independence, which still suffers daily a floating population of 5.5 million. The city having a territorial limit of 187 square kilometers, a permanent settlement of 4.5 million has to cater the need of daily floating population of 5.5 million. This population is really are entering into the city from the rural areas for their livelihood. When the question of city management comes, the basic question which we have to face is that how do we give them the basic services? And how do we take care of 1.5 million of slum dwellers? We cannot think of any city development without taking into consideration the basic development of habitation and basic economic development of the slum dwellers, which we have taken into account for the purpose of our program. The first issue, as it was supposed to be for the house and particularly to me, the first challenge before me was at the time of election, making a commitment to the common man that the city slums should have a better settlement. The slums cannot be the slums for eternity. It should have a better housing accommodation, it should have better sanitation and it should have better program which would really bring them out of the poverty line, below poverty line, BPL line. These were the three basic challenge and the more fundamental challenge was upkeepment and maintenance of the city infrastructure. Because this is a very old city, these city managers or the mayors who are really now looking after the newly built cities, they have a different problem. But when a city like Kolkata is really being looked after, the problem has a different nature and of different degree. The old infrastructures are almost old-aged and because of age, they are ill, they are suffering and they are almost in the verge of collapse. And we have been fighting for a long period to revive those things. Fortunately for the city of Kolkata, because of JNNURM program, the government of India could be convinced, I'm happy to say that our urban minister after having our presentation was so convinced, he said, nothing doing, you definitely allot money for the purpose of rejuvenation of your basic infrastructure, these three things. And I can happily tell you that in the fill of improvement of the basic living standard of the poorest of the poor people who do live in slums, we could not think of city development keeping them aside or throwing them under the carpet. We had introduced certain programs. The first thing, the preventive side of the health. Let there be preventive cure and the infant mortality rate in the city of Kolkata is remarkably low. It is probably now competing with Kerala.  You must have also noticed that while the other part of the country was really reeling under huge pressure of vector-borne disease, city of Kolkata for the last two years have come out successfully, how could it be possible? The third one that we have been able to engage the poorer people in the self-help movement is also a central government-sponsored program, but these were not being implemented. With the implementation of this, we have noticed that the women which are fundamentally exploited, they have come out successfully with different projects after having training. They're earning a lot on an average 1,000 and 1,500 rupees per month, which is a substantial amount for the poorer people and they have their own expression of human rights. They can very well come out and say that we can have our worth of our own labor. These we have done successfully in the city of Kolkata. Another thing, in the city of Kolkata run primary schools. It is said that the cooperation of primary schools are for the poorer people who do not even provide them one full meal. At one point of time it was thought that let the cooperation school be shut down. Nobody is going to come to the school. Why should you waste your money? For the last two years, there has been additional registration of 9,000 children. This 9,000 children who were not going to the school are coming to the school regularly and they are having their education with simple introduction of midday meal. These ideas are all basic inclusive development ideas and concepts by which we can get the city developed. City should not be only developed keeping the health of the millionaires in mind. City should not be developed keeping the need of the car owners only. That way we do not think. There are of course need because if we are opening out for globalization, the global people would be coming into the city. Definitely they would like to have a better smooth running of the cars, but if they see that they poor a children on the street using the street for their basic daily needs, that would dispel the investors to come. Therefore we have ensured that sanitary toilets in only existing slums. Already we have had developed vertically the RCC constructed building for the slum dwellers and recently government of India in J&M project has sanctioned as 121 crores of rupees for construction of 6,850 flats. That means 6,850 dwelling units again be provided in the most human habitable constructed buildings. These are the important areas which we find is important. How could we do it? This we could do because of the people's involvement. This couldn't have been done by sheer administrative's good-willness, no. We have made the elected body answerable. We means by the act made in West Bengal, there is a cabinet form of government-like structure in the megacity of Kolkata Municipal Cooperation. We call it Mayor in Council system. Where the mayor is the head of the policy making body assisted by senior IS officer who is the commissioner in executing body but they all remain responsible to the house. There is a mandatory holding of house once in a month unless this accountability is ensured and the elected representatives are given the authority and who are made accountable to the common person, it was not possible. And democracy functions. Development is achieved provided everything is done in a better decentralized way. We have not yet kept it only within the MIC's level and at the hand of the mayor. We have decentralized it at the borough level. We have 15 boroughs. And again at the council's level we have constituted word committees where the people from different spheres of life residing within the world are taken in the committee and they decide they become part of the decision making process and once they take part in the decision making process, decision is arrived at, implementation doesn't become any difficult for them. This is the way in very short I find we have been able so long to meet the challenge but a long way to go and the way we are trying to move if we can move successfully I am sure that we can do a lot better. Thank you all. Thank you very much.


the chiefs have been very successful this all season when it comes to retaining their own we all of course heard about the deal with Patrick Mahomes that's worth up to 503 million dollars but chiefs have been doing some more low-key work this all season when it came to keeping their own players uh one of them obviously being Chris Jones uh they franchise tagged him and now they've come to an agreement on a four-year deal with him but there were two other ones on offense that they were able to retain one of them was Sammy Watkins a lot of people thought that Sammy Watkins that he was gonna be out of there I certainly thought he was gonna be out of there because I know he had an enormous cap hit uh and it was all due to him this year and the chiefs they were very restricted salary cap wise but what did they do they could have cut him they could have had a lot of salary cap relief immediate salary cap relief but they said no we want to keep this guy so they reconstructed his deal and then with another one who I thought would be a sleeper free agent pick up for a lot of people especially at the wide receiver position would be Demarcus Robinson Demarcus Robinson was somebody that um speedy receiver uh and yeah he did struggle a little bit here and there with the Kansas City chiefs but they didn't let him go anywhere so chiefs pretty much retained their entire offense and obviously adding uh Clyde uh Clyde's Edwards Clyde's Edwards always forget his name I think it's uh Halleah Edwards I will yeah I think it's Halleah Edwards but anyway the chiefs they've had a pretty successful offseason you throw in what they did in free agency well most of what keeping their own and what what they did in the draft as well so now like we mentioned earlier they are able to retain Chris Jones and he was on about a 16 million dollar cap hit so they re-signed Patrick Mahomes and that's going to really kick in next year but they also re-signed Chris Jones and what that does is that alleviates that cap hit that they had well they had him at 16 mil or about 16 mil because when you're a franchise tag player your entire franchise tag is guaranteed it is guaranteed so that's the cap hit and that's how much you're going to get paid for that year if you play under that franchise tag but they had as long as well as everybody else who has their players on the franchise tag they have until tomorrow 4 p.m eastern time to sign the player to a long-term deal but the chiefs they said uh we ain't gonna wait all the way up into the deadline we're gonna wait a little bit for the deadline we're gonna get this thing done so they have got it done uh as of the recording of this video the details of the contract have not come out yet and it is 133 p.m on July 14th so I assume that we'll get the details of the contract within the next hour but anyway this is good news for the chiefs because they get somebody who I felt like could have been the Super Bowl MVP but I feel like this this guy is such a dominant player he's a he's a very very very very good uh interior defensive lineman I love Chris Jones I love him I wish he could have came to my team but I know he certainly could afford him but anyway uh he is now going to remain with the chiefs and that was a question mark because a lot of people thought oh maybe they might trade him or maybe uh maybe he'll play out on the franchise tag and then go somewhere else next year but now chiefs fans ain't even got to worry about that so congrats so like Chris Jones won't be saying when it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs I'm out


Guys it's Alex and in today's video I'm going to be doing a review of BioX4. I don't know if you guys have seen the commercial here on YouTube but it really caught my eye. So if you haven't seen the video it's basically Dr. Amy Lee kind of telling you about three harmful foods you shouldn't eat and I found the video to be very, very informative. Like I'll link it down below so you guys can check it out if you are interested. I just think that everyone should be like aware of foods and everything. So food is a very touchy subject for people and I'm not going to like say oh watch the video and you should do this because like I'm no expert I'm just going to give my review and what I thought about this product. I am still currently using the product. I'll kind of explain to you guys like how many we ordered and when we started it and everything. I'm pretty sure if you are addicted to YouTube you probably run into this commercial. It's an advertisement run on videos here just like any other ad and it really caught my eye because I like to know what we're putting in our bodies and different things like that. So I researched this and I really wanted to try it and it's supposed to like help you lose weight and like help your digestive system and everything. I've never done diet pills or tea detoxes, detox treatments because I don't know I'm just like not that type of person. I feel like you should have self-control and like work out and stuff just be like healthy and I don't really want to take a lot of supplements or things to help you. But this really caught my eye because it was like nutrients to help your body digest the food you consume. I'm just going to cut to the chase because you guys are probably like just get to the point now which the point is I think it does work but there is a but you shouldn't expect to like lose weight like that because that's not what the product is supposed to be for it's not supposed to be like a weight loss element it is help people lose weight and like all of the reviews and stuff say like oh it gave me my life back and stuff which it could for some people but like I'm just gonna state in this video that everybody's body is different and your body might react totally different to this product. I would definitely suggest try it because there's no harm in like trying it. Would I ever go back to it? Would I ever order more? Probably not just because I didn't really like see the results that I was expecting because I felt like it was supposed to like I don't really know but anyway I just know that it really does help your digestive system my mom can vouch for that because it will help you go like let's just say it'll help you go to the bathroom. It's just kind of it's not like a laxative but I don't know I feel like this is just all over the place which it probably is. It works but what I purchased it again probably not because like three of these for a month's supply three bottles basically equals three months and that was like a hundred dollars. The website that you purchase this from is kind of sketchy and that's why online it might be like BioX4 or scam. When you're checking out it keeps on asking you like do you want to add this do you want to add that and they're trying to like upsell you know like how Amazon does like oh buy this with this product that's kind of what they're trying to do but they have kind of done it in a way that it turns people away because it's almost like you could be getting scammed and my mom and I were kind of sketched out and I was like okay well if it's a scam I'm sorry you can totally blame me but I really wanted to try this product so I think they could have done a better design on their website when like ordering this. This website was very poorly done I will say that because when you're ordering this you should be able to buy the product and just get out of the site but other than that the product itself I did feel a change at first. I've been taking BioX4 for about two months and I can go off of that because I'm almost done with my second bottle. I'm still currently taking this product because I just I don't know like I paid for it so I mean we paid for it so I'm going to use the product if you guys know what I mean. I don't mean to be offensive when I say this and don't take it the wrong way I guess anyone can interpret this the way that they like but I think that this product is really meant for a different body styling than me.   I feel like this product was designed specifically for people who like really really can't lose weight and I mean maybe I'm just I'm the wrong body style in person to be taking this product so I think that's another thing too. The part that really really works for me with this product is the Caroluma Fimbriata. I think that is the element that makes you less hungry so it kind of curves your appetite. I found that to work the best with my body from this product and I might actually take that when I'm going to eat because I feel like I'm a really big overeater like I could just eat and eat and eat but I mean who couldn't eat and eat me like that's just I don't know food just makes me feel so good but that I'm going to definitely say this product really really works. It got to my house pretty quickly too so that's always a plus. I also almost forgot to mention that I did not take it religiously. Sometimes I skip breakfast which I know is not the healthiest decision. I don't really eat the healthiest breakfast.  Just know that I did not take this religiously like three times a day before every meal because sometimes I only have like two meals. Sometimes I forgot to pack this in my lunchbox. Sometimes I was in a rush and like I just needed to eat. Also when you take it make sure you get that five minutes interval between when you take this and when you start eating. Sometimes I would just take this and start eating so you're kind of getting a review from a person that is not like religiously like follows this regimen. I just wanted to try the product. At first I was really really good at that routine. I had taken this entire bottle. I can tell you that and I've only taken one capsule. On the bottle it says you could take two but I don't really suggest that. I will link the original video where I found BioX4 down below. That my friends is going to be the end of this little review. I know it's kind of all over the place but I just wanted to put my two cents in with BioX4 because I do know that those ads run on videos and I wanted to tell you guys what I thought of the product. If you have any other questions about the product or how I used it or my results or whatever please leave it in the comments down below. I would love to answer your guys questions. If you've tried anything like BioX4 also tell me down below just because I'm curious. So anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Give it a big thumbs up if you did. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and I will see you guys tomorrow. Bye guys! Also I really hope this video does well because I did this like Oloplex review and I did not even think that that video was going to get the amount of views it did. It went kind of crazy. I thought I was gonna get like less than a hundred because I don't know. I feel like my reviews are kind of like all scattered but you know hey thanks guys!


Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make this tunnel card. This is the first one I've made playing with the dyes from the paper discovery kit but you can make this with your own dyes and I've made quite a few tunnel cards and I'll share the playlist up here so if you want to get some more inspiration check out those ones because I've done some really nice underwater scenes and I think I've done that one of them is the Christmas Nativity, there's the mermaid, there's a few different variations so check it out but this one here is actually one of the cards that are shown in the booklet that you get so it's one of the inspiration cards and I've played around and I always like to kind of add my little twist on it so I've changed the colors. I'm actually not using any of the card store from the kit apart from the background piece there but it's a concertina fold it's six by six and then you just fold the whole thing flat and it will fit into your envelope so and then it just kind of pops back up but it's so cute I'm going to like I said there's a few things I want to change in this I think I'm going to change the color of the little wish and well there I'm not too keen on the darker gray I prefer maybe brown so like a more of a brick color so we'll play around anyway but I love the little toadstools and the frog there's little vellum like dragonflies and we've got the biggest stamped ones the butterfly I put glossy accents on everything and I've just layered up lots of this here so it just looks like you're looking through like a little almost like a badges like badges set or something these kind of poking his head out and this is his view or something like that I don't know that's you know looking out through a hole and you see this beautiful day ahead of you so um yeah that's what I've got from this and I'm not too keen I was playing around with some doodling I just wanted to frame that and that's one of the things I'm going to do with the next one is I struggle to just have a whole color on the front of things I always have to try and matte somewhere and add a layer or something so that's what I'm going to do with the next one but you can you know buy all means do it you know die cut into the the top piece there as I have done and it's just my own personal preference and then on the back is where you will write your message and stamp and everything I'm going to actually end up keep this I'm going to keep this for myself I'm just going to display this in my craft room in the next one I will make to use so what you're going to need like so you don't need this but this is what I'm using so those of you that do have the kits I know lots of you do it's the paper discovery kit so this is kit four and I'm using the mainly the dies because like I said I didn't choose yeah the dies and the stamps I haven't used any of the cardstock so these are the dies that you get really lovely it's not until you start using them especially this one this is absolutely beautiful when it cuts into the cardstock so I'm going to use that one then to create the card the concertina you can use this here so in the booklet I'll show you the one that I've got my inspiration from it's this one here okay so Olga's done it in whites and grays and vellums and it's very soft I've gone for obviously something much much brighter and I've used a lot of the stamps in this one whereas these are all the die cuts the moon they've used the little picket fence there as well but to make it she uses the lines here these are your guides to create that fold so if you've got this and you want to go and follow those then that's all there explained for you but I'm going to show you how to do it with your school board and then they are the stamps so I've used all of these ones really nice tote store images super cute little frog there and then the butterflies there and there and then you've got some really nice sentiments oh and the dragonfly love the willow there as well I will be using that in another project so I'm going to pop all this back in there I might go back to the paper in a bit if I do decide to use that background piece again so before I started filming I went ahead and coloured all of my stamped images this time I'm doing a lot more tote stores as well I want to fill it with even more because I think the colour on those just really stands out and then I'll add the glossy accents right at the very end and then I went ahead and just die cut all of these different sprigs in all of the greens that I'm using okay so again you'll see exactly what I mean by all that in a moment and then I've done my sentiment this one's going to be hoping you find strength with each new day so what I've got here to make the front of the concertina so you'll see I am constructing mine slightly different I think the first one maybe that one now I'm doing it the other way around no it probably is the same anyway so you'll need a piece of 12 by 6 cardstock and then along each side you want to score at half an inch one inch one and a half two two and a half and three I think the the concertina lines on that embossing folder I think they're one centimeter so it's just slightly different and then flip it around and do it again the same so half an inch one one and a half two two and a half and three okay now I'm not going to fold these yet because I want to run it through my die machine and this will go through your standard die machines because it's their six inch width so you don't need a larger one for this so now this is where I'm going to change it up a little bit because on the front of this one here I had this very large one here okay you can see there that's where that one went in so if you want to go ahead and just cut that straight in this six by six square in the center run it through your die machine that's what I've done to create that and then all these other ones I'm going to explain to you separately but I think with the first one I'm going to see this is where because I want to do it through two pieces of cardstock I want to cut through this one and I'm going to do this green then I'm going to have the lighter green then the darker one then end again with that one or I may end with the pattern paper but that's what I'm going to do here so I want to have this piece which I've cut down to five and three quarters let me just check yeah I've got this one smaller so this is five and three quarters squared and it's going to sit in that six by six square with that border and for me I prefer that it just it's just I think it's down to just the style that I make cards I like a border and with that one not having it I just I don't know it's just bugging me so but what I want to do is obviously cut this through both pieces so I think it will go so what I'm going to do I might just have to put a shim and run it through a few times so I'm going to stick this green directly onto here and and then I'm going to die cut that that die so I'm going to yeah create a slightly different look with this one and we'll see how it goes okay so just lay this one down on here so yeah I'm going for a bit of a enchanted woodland I guess that's the style I'm going for so it's very whimsical which is Olga's style and it's certainly you know comes across with these dies here right so that's now stuck down so I'm now going to die cut this through both of these layers like I said it should work okay these are pretty strong the fact when I ran them through before they cut you know straight through so I'm going to go and get this die cut first okay so you would have seen I've changed my mind and gone back to the original I've ran it through quite a few times I have got a little bit of marking here you just kind of see there but I can cover that so I'm not too worried so it's actually come through really well just a little bit there the whole thing's cut it just needs a little bit of help okay and keep this because there's more inspiration in the book to you know layer these up and make that into a card as well so but there so you're creating your first aperture so like I said you can use any dies you know I've done ones with rectangles ovals all kinds of things but now we've got that opening so then we can now concertina folds so you want to start from the inside ones there and they're both going to become mountain folds and then you're going to concertina fold so then it'd be a valley and a mountain and another valley mountain ending with a valley we're going to attach the back piece separate so you will have one two three mountains and then one two three valleys and then this one will end up becoming a final mountain okay so again do that on this okay so now you can see we've started to get our card coming together there so we will do the back in a minute because we will attach that on last so now I want to go and die cut these other pieces here so I'm going to do this one and the dark one I'm not sure about that one because that may be my back piece so then I'm using this die so you you know any kind of decorative aperture dies that you might have or you can you know use a just a simple circle and then grab all of your leaf and foliage kind of dies and just layer them all up around it to create that full effect because these here are all separate ones just stuck behind this front piece and so on so you know there's there's lots of ways to do that so I'm going to do this one and die cut that piece and then this one with this piece now these pieces here will measure you want it to be five and seven eighths of an inch by six so it will be the full six inch height but you want it to come in just slightly because the concertina folds it will actually push the card in slightly so just bringing it in that five and seven eighths will be better so two pieces of that size again everything will be listed in my blog I'm now going to run these through my machine and you just want to make sure that it's in the center or as close as because you want everything to kind of line up and each one's going to be different so I'm going to die cut this one so it's like that way and then the next one on the other piece of card will be like that way you can turn the card as well but you want it to you don't want them to all line up you want them to all be all over the place really so I'm going to do that one let's go there okay so I'm going to die cut both of those okay so cut those both out you can see when you start layering them up I'm going to have it that way I think they were the darker behind so next you want to start sticking them into here and then we're put like so I think it's easier to put the back on last and stick these in now they're going to be slightly shorter but what it should allow you is it means that when it folds flat yeah you won't get any buckling see it all folds fold folds are nice and flat you want to decide you know what order you want them in so I want this lighter green at the front and then the darker green at the back so it's going in there you've got your first valley here your second valley your third valley I'm going in the second one here you can put it right in front if you want I'll show you how that looks it will then put it right up to it still gives a really great result so you know it's entirely up to you with whatever you're cutting out but I am going to set it back one and all I'm going to do is use my liquid glue and just put a thin bead just along here if you want to add it into the concertina fold itself you can but I think this is enough just a thin thin amount there and then just pop it inside and over the other side and then just squeeze it down flat okay and if you've got any white there that you might not like see I've got like a line there I've got all these stamped pieces I've got all this to stick in yet and you can cover all that stuff up completely so next you want to decide you know if you want to move it around the pattern now I think that's perfect actually so again this is the centura pearl it's gorgeous really nice cardstock so I'm just going to run again very thin amount on those edges there and then just pop it in the last one like so and then bring that down if when you fold it flat you are getting any buckling I've got a little bit there but that will still go in an envelope then you want to trim this piece you know these two here so I said they were what was it five and seven eighths by six and you know maybe you want to do it five and three quarters by six you just you've got that half inch of the concertina piece you've got plenty for the card to stick to you know so it can afford to be a little bit shorter and not to ruin the card and or anything like that okay lastly you want a piece of six by six and this is just going to stick you're going to run glue down these sides here and it's going to stick onto that and finish the card so this is where you want to decide what you want to have on that you might want to keep it you know white in my case and stamp your sentiment there you know that would look really nice I'm tempted to keep it white because I've got all of these lovely things here and I think they will really stand out even more against the white background so I think I'm going to stick with the white you watch I'll regret it later but there's so many butterflies and bits and pieces that we can add to it so now I'm going to add glue to these two back pad panels here because you're going to stick it onto all of that and then we will cut a separate piece for you to stamp and write your message on you can still write on the back of this you know it's going to be flat but you might want to write something later you might not know who you're giving this to yet so you can always do that bit you know later on so I've got a bit of black there let's just flip that over so you're just going to line it up and that will bring it all into its six by six shape once you have this back on you might need to pull them in a little bit because you know that's how it should be and fold it all flat and you can see there it will all line up okay so once that's stuck really well then I can kind of pull the concertina apart a bit more in fact I can do now just to give it a bit more shape but now you get to appreciate all that dimension it's so lovely really really like these so now it's just down to decoration so I how many times I just say so okay let's try that one instead okay see what I mean you can pop something in the middle there and that's a nice card on its own you know do a few bits and pieces around here you could have your dragonfly on the outside along with the butterflies and the frog and everything but what I want to start doing now is filling it up even more with all of these pieces so I'm going to put a lot of this on high speed I'll just talk you through kind of what I'm doing first but I want to kind of stick them against the opposite colors so this is that lovely you know olive green but I'm going to stick it right down in the back one behind that darker green just so all the green colors all start mixing together and almost looks a little bit like a swamp but I think these could work as seaweed you know there's no reason and you could also turn them up that way and have like a group of them together and you see what I mean it looks like the seaweed growing up from the the bottom of the seabed so you know think of other ways to use it you might not have butterfly dyes or this might not be your thing but you might really like the underwater scenes then you can certainly do that as well so yeah you want to go in behind these kind of layers and you know every time lay it all down flat just so you're making sure it's always going to fit back in your envelope but yeah I'm just going to stick them behind I've got these ones here so I can pop you know these here and maybe you know take away from some of this blank space I'm aware I've got a bit of a mark there or maybe it's more at the top now but once I attach my sentiment and like I said I've got my towed stools I could put a few of them on the outside because I've got more of them so yeah I'm going to start playing around with all of that and then I will be back okay so this is what I've done and I adore it I just want to go there now and have a picnic because it just looks so so pretty but now I'm finding I am unsure about the white background so this is one of the backgrounds you get and it's I think it's no she didn't use this one she does use it obviously on other cards like this but she uses the blue one but you can slide it in it fits perfectly and that's the one that I used there so you can just see it all in the background but I don't think I'm going to do the wish and well with this one because I just I don't know I just really like it but I think I'm also going to look to see if I've got any kind of like sky sky effect background papers because my sentiment's going to go up there probably might do on a bit of a side angle like that I think that looks really cute and then I've got the dragonfly and the butterfly to go in the middle I adore it I'm absolutely in love with it I really am I just want to make sure I get this back piece exact so I'm going to come back when I have decided what I will do though is I'm going to stick get the sentiment stuck down I'm going to use a foam pad and just pop it in the middle there and then that will cover that little bit of just disguise that marking that's there like so there we go and then you can see yeah I don't know right I'll be back okay so I've been having a play around and I found this paper here it's got that kind of cloud like pattern the blue and like greeny colors so it works well as a sky so obviously now I'm adding this later and I did say before you stick the white piece down on the back if you want that to be you know patterned or stamped or anything you need to do that before you stick it down so you know I can't stick that against there now so I'm going to trim mine that's purely because you know I've changed my mind basically so whatever that piece is there you want to stick your pattern paper onto it as well so I'm just going to take off oh just dropped me glue I'm going to take off because it's half an inch so it's about an inch so I'm going to just cut mine to just over make some cutting on the right side yeah just over let's do just over five and see if that will slide in between those two white pieces no a little bit more so it's going to be five if not just under this is only if you change your mind like me yeah there we go so see now mine slides between the two white pieces there that's stuck down and it looks finished you know it's got a nice finish to it you can see now it slides against that perfectly so I'm going to stick that one in there and then what I've gone ahead and done is actually went back into the kit and they've got the embossing folder so I'm I've gone and embossed this piece here which is this center section and then you just cut against the curve there and it's going to look like rolling heels in the background so that's what I'm going to use but it also cut this piece so if you do have it there's your concertina so that's how it looks and then you would just fold you know each of those to give you the side of the card as they show you in the instructions so it's a really handy embossing folder for that kind of thing if you know you don't want to do the scoring yourself you've got it there as well okay so that's that so what I'm going to do before I stick the blue piece down is I'm going to stick this on to the back and I'll have to trim a little bit off all this cut into that bit further there that's okay I can cut that end off I'm just going to just lightly kind of tack it down I'll stick to this end now and then I don't have to trim both sides like so I'll come over a little bit there we go I'll just flip that over and just trim off that one okay and then I'm just going to add glue onto the back of all of this and stick it into the card and then I just need to add the butterfly and the dragonfly and I'm done okay so stuck that in there you can see the rolling heels in the background I think it just gives something more to the card and then you could you know stamp some trees on there do a lot more but there's so much going on I think I just need to remember when to stop because it's quite easy especially with these kind of cards to just keep adding and adding to it which you know I love so I'm just going to stick that one just there only put it on the body and then this one here probably might use my gel blue actually it might just change that in a second just so it keeps its dimension although it's going to get flattened anyway so worry too much like so isn't it cute so then you can cut a piece of if you want to do like a green piece so that's five and three quarters by five and three quarters stick it on the back and then when you do decide who you're going to give it to cut a piece of five and a half no yeah five and a half by five and a half in white stamp it write your message and then stick that and then you'll have a nice green border I'll put those measurements in my blog I'm not going to do mine now because yeah I'll just leave that until I need to but what I am going to do is with the glossy accents and I'm going to go over all of the toadstores and just all of the little creatures really why is that got blocked I've literally just used it as the only thing with this is it can very quickly block there we go all right so yeah I'm just going to go over all this just to give it that nice shine okay so there it is if I get it to catch the light you can see all that lovely dimension and I might also add a few nouveau drops as well you'll see that in the photo so I'm going to let this dry now and stop for a minute because it's very easy to get carried away but I think it's beautiful love how it's come together I'm definitely loving this one more with this white frame okay but it's you know each of their own this one's still nice but there's just something for me I prefer a frame it's just just my style but there again is that one and also with the little wishing well there which is a really nice addition it's a lovely dye I'll definitely be using it a bit more but yeah there you have it little frog I think he's so cute so I hope you've enjoyed this shadow box tutorial do check out the playlist like so for more inspiration different themes different colors and all that kind of thing also if you do make yours quite bulky and you're a bit worried it's not going to go into your six by six envelope they do fit but I do have the six by six box envelope and I'll link that one up here as well because that one will obviously work as well so thank you for watching and I'll be back again soon with another tutorial bye


Yes, most times this is the common topic of discussion when we are on to debates relating to civic mannerism. There are so many blogs and articles written all over regarding uncivil and unhygienic habit of spitting in the public places. They are by causing health hazards and defacing, spoiling, contaminating and polluting the ecosystem. The Ministry of Home Affairs in India has issued stringent guidelines for lockdown for preventing the spread of coronavirus. One of the key new guidelines being declaring spitting in the public places as a criminal offence under the National Disaster Management Act. Spitting has been made punishable under section 51 of the Disaster Management Act. Non-compliance to this directive shall lead to imprisonment from one to two years. And the spitting order of the Government of India is not merely to address public spitting of mucus and saliva etc. Not only that, as I understand. But also when a suspect of coronavirus belligerently spits on the handlers, be it health, medical or law enforcement staff. We have witnessed these cases recently. We have. In fact, in some countries when an accused or suspect in a criminal case is arrested, there is an apprehension that they will sometimes try to spit at their captors. The law enforcement people, which often causes a fear of infection by hepatitis C and other diseases. Spit hoods are provided to these law enforcement members. Which is meant to prevent this spitting, causing disease or infection. But let me give you some background to the spitting habits of Indians. Undoubtedly there is a criminal part to it. But ironically, it has a customary touch to it as well, spitting. In some rural parts of India, it was customary in olden days for mothers to likely spit at their children. Yes, usually to the side of the children rather than directly at them on their faces. To imply a sense of disparagement and imperfection that protects them from the evil eye, like nazar se bachana. However, on account of hygiene issues, sanitation issues and transmission of diseases and social taboos etc. The practice has declined and instead a black mark of mascara, eyeliners or kajal is put on the forehead or cheek of the child to ward off the evil eye. But the worst is the tobacco chewing ill habits. The lethal grind and blend of the combination of tobacco, saliva, beetle leaf and lime in their mouth excreting and expelling combinational saliva juices through spits. All over in different directions colors is not just ruining the nation's image but more than that their own lives and lives of people around them including their families. You confront this public spitting in India at practically all places, public offices, pavements, roads, walls, elevators, banks, malls, gardens, markets, parks and where not. The spitting extravaganza is interminable. This is despite the presence of several coercive state laws, some of which are in existence since colonial times. Because this menace of tobacco chewing and spitting has been there for decades and centuries. But unfortunately these fines for public spitting have been very low and ridiculous. 50 rupees, 100 rupees or 200 rupees. States such as Bihar, Telangana, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Maharashtra, Assam, Nagaland and few more have banned the use of smokeless tobacco products. Other states are yet to take formal action against the spread of COVID-19 through spitting in public places. With COVID-19 having been made a notified disaster, the order passed under the Disaster Management Act applies to the whole of the country, whole of India. How effectively these will be enforced in the states is something which definitely bothers me. Well that's all for today and please do not forget to subscribe to this channel and please do not forget to even press the bell button for notifications regarding new video chats and talks. Thank you.


Welcome to the 6 p.m. press conference here on the CZU complex. My name is Jonathan Cox. I'm the deputy chief for Cal Fire San Mateo Santa Cruz unit and the line officer here on this incident Just as always if you can mute your telephones take any conversations outside the press briefing area and keep your masks on at all Times it would be greatly appreciated Just wanted to settle a bit of context again I know we did this a few days ago this evening we can report that across, California Since August 15th 1.25 million acres of land burned in the last just over 10 days To give you a sense of point of reference That's larger than the state of Delaware that we've seen consumed in the state of California over that period of time Additionally across the state. There's still over a hundred and thirty six thousand people evacuated for them from their homes and communities And there's over 100 aircraft assigned specifically to fight fires in the state at this moment With that we've dropped over 2.7 million gallons of retardant on that on these fires over the last 10-plus days and obviously there's additional resources coming in from throughout the western United States to help us fight these fires a Little bit about the specifics of the CZU complex this evening We can confirm that the fire is up to seventy nine thousand six hundred and forty acres As we spoke about the other day this number is going to get more and more specific as time goes on as we gain better intelligence We have good news in the sense that we're up to nineteen one nine percent containment on the fire As you as you know every cent every percent of containment is hours and hours of Sweat and blood up on those lines actually getting containment in in the fire perimeter As far as the number of structures threatened There's still over twenty four thousand structures that are threatened on Throughout the complex and we unfortunately can confirm this evening that we are up to four hundred and forty three Structures that have been destroyed on this incident the breakdown of that specifically eleven of those structures are in San Mateo County and 432 in Santa Cruz County with that we are now up to one thousand six hundred and ninety seven Personnel assigned to the incident and this this afternoon about two o'clock Working with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office in Santa Clara County Fire Department The first evacuation warnings in Santa Clara County were lifted on this incident, which is a sign of progress in the right direction With that we're very lucky this evening to have an honorable guest us congresswoman Anna issue Thank you very much. Excuse me. Thank you very much chief Well, it's been quite a day for me I was fortunate enough to be driven from the Sheriff's Office in Santa Cruz County with Sheriff Jim Hart our outstanding sheriff Saw first hand the Emergency Operations Center That is housed in in his building and it was room after room after room of teams whether They are law enforcement Fire you name it. They are there We went I went to the evacuation Center at the county fairgrounds. I think every person in this entire region I wish they could see what the team has done in Less than a week. They've really established set up a community and there's been an outpouring from the community in terms of Clothing food from restaurants Really a medical center that has been set up all across This effort is The teamwork that I see taking place It's one thing to for me to be working the phones calling the DoD calling the state director of OES Talking to the National Guard all about assets assets assets, but to be on the ground and To see firsthand what law enforcement together with Cal Fire and all of the other agencies in the county coming together and working seem is seamlessly I Would say this is this is really a picture of Government that is working very very well for people It's moving. It is heart-rending in some situations I don't know what it feels like to think that I might lose my home And I I try to imagine it But everyone that is part of this team that's standing in back of me those that are standing in front of me They know what it is. They know what it is. These are first-rate professionals I think that the progress that has been made is really quite remarkable For a number of days. We were at zero percent Containment then we inched up to three or four when I saw eight my heart leapt and you just heard the report and We had something to eat just not all that far away and there were not only blues there. There were orange Orange jumpsuits And those are the individuals from the California Department of Corrections They too have been trained in firefighting not that many people Know that and I didn't And although they're not here. I want to thank them for doing their fair share as well so I salute all of our first responders and the real heroes in our country truly the heroes in this community and God willing God willing that the weather cooperates They can do their work and the percentage of the containment I think will continue to increase and we will keep welcoming the news of Of more people being able to go back to their home So I have to tell you that I have I'll be going home this evening with a much higher level of confidence Then I had when I was driving over the hill to come to visit and I want to thank you all this is This is not easy work And I call it God's work Because everyone is in service to the people in this community and this community is a very tight-knit community they all know each other and so God willing we will continue this progress but for everything that you That you made me aware of today showed me firsthand Answering all the questions. I salute all of you and I thank you and thank you sheriff Hart for making me your guest The poor man kept saying come on come on. You have to stop talking. We have to keep going so thank you for your patience and for for the hospitality that everyone has Extended to me. I'm proud of the people of my district Very proud the courage of the residents the courage of the firefighters The courage and the dedication of the people that are taking care of each other in such a professional and caring way it is It is it brings great credit to this congressional district. I think it's an eloquent statement about it So God bless all of you. Thank you Thank You congresswoman Speaking next from Cal Fire instant management team three operations section chief mark Brun Good evening. So another very positive day another progressive day that we've got a lot done a lot of work out in the line A lot of success today again. The weather is cooperating with us We've been steadily getting doer reinforcements a lot of personnel since we get them in checking in We're putting them out in the line. We're putting them at to work in our plan and we're having a lot of success with that So I'd like to just take you around the horn with the fire really quickly again up in the division golf and kilo We have a really good line established the fire is back down to that line It's being in more of a patrol status and what's very critical and important about that piece of line was that was one We were concerned with that would that might drive into potentially Santa Clara County as you heard earlier that the the evacuation warning has been lifted And that's because we have a very good confidence and we have a good control in that part of the line So a lot of success there. That's been a lot of days in the making Moving around the branch one those communities such as pescadero the Honda the more Fire is creeping down there and in butano, but it's doing exactly what it's part of our strategy So although it may seem that the fire is burning it is but it's simply creeping down to our control lines where we can take best advantage And use our limited resources to to extinguish that and and make that safe and make those can be safe Or we can start talking eventually about a repopulation plan of moving down the coast Some of the fire is made itself mitigated in the lighter fuels And due to the the humidity and the the marine influence So that's really a good good thing Especially moving down to the community of Davenport Looking really good there fire is is kind of hung up on the hill So we're just going to wait for the weather conditions to to change slightly So it we can take advantage of it bringing it down to our control line that we have established around that community in the south here Holding very well This has always been a concern for us so that the fire does not progress in a subtly fashion to Threaten the community of Santa Cruz and the UC campus Again our control lines that we've established in our secondary control lines still valid still working The fire has bumped into some of that and extinguished and exactly what we wanted to do And so we're looking really good high level of confidence in that there are lined in our suppression activities there around the community of Felton We're working diligently of burning some lines around about that to three quarters of that community We have another line that we're establishing and going to do a burnout operation probably Thursday looking at the conditions are going to be right for that and Once that's completed then that's really going to put a really good buffer a really good line around that community of Felton And that'll give us a high level of confidence that that community is going to be very safe From any sort of oncoming of fire front Moving up towards Ben Lohman in the state park We we've got again one of our challenging areas the departure the fuels and so forth That's an area that we're working diligently in we're putting a lot of resources in it's just really tough difficult terrain to work in And so again, we've used our alternative strategies to Mitigate that issue and to have success in that and in the coming days. I think we're going to have a lot of success Moving up into Ben Lohman Boulder Creek Those communities are still looking really good We have a lot of resources working in and above those communities up in the hillside again Tough steep terrain to work in but we're having day-by-day success and we're getting those control lines established Moving into Bonnie Dune Again, that's looking fantastic. I was up there again this afternoon We're seeing a lot less smoke. We're with a cruiser in there working very diligently Working around the structures. Like I said, it's painstaking process a lot of homes and with our limited resources We have to go almost home by home Putting line around it securing it mopping it up making sure that it's safe in that community And we're having a lot of success on that that venue We have a lot of the utility companies starting to move in and starting to start Developing their plans and starting to do work to start re-establishing the infrastructure that's going to be needed And until the infrastructure is established set up repaired Then we can start looking at a repopulation and that's any of these communities So we are aggressively as soon as we can get it safe enough for those folks to move in Then it's we're bringing them in and they're starting their their hard work. So that's really good As far as the continuing challenges We've always said we've had with the folks that have been Evacuated and have been causing us some concern and hindering some of our operations I want to thank sheriff Hart and his staff has done an outstanding job of Policing and they've gotten in there and I got to say it's the first time in Over a week that we've got up there and it was almost a ghost town and that's what we needed Because now my crews are in there Unhindered doing the work. They need to do they're not distracted to perform rescues or any of the things are Concerned concerned about their safety. They're just in there nose down Putting in the hard work to make that's the community safe our air program our aircraft were flying again today We're timing out our aircraft means we're flying to the maximum we can Water dropping as of just about an hour ago. We were at about a hundred ninety five thousand gallons that have been dropped today We still have a few hours left of flight time And so we are going to at least meet or exceed the amount that we dropped yesterday. That was 200,000 gallons That's a lot of water dropping that's in support of our crews on the ground and working together We're getting that much closer to mitigating this incident and getting folks closer to getting back home And this fire being put away and put to bed Speaking next from the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office is Chief Deputy Chris Clark Good evening So continuing along that same theme of positive news Really, this is the second operational period. We've had without seeing any arrests And so I really think that's a testament to the saturation that your deputies and your officers have been doing There's the saturation of policing effort within the San Lorenzo Valley that we did not to make an arrest today In terms of numbers as I mentioned today, we had about we had 76 officers in total Patrolling the San Lorenzo Valley. We'll do that again tonight with roughly about the same number 66 With 18 from our office 18 from our in-county partners and then 30 mutual aid from over the hill in terms of calls for service We had four welfare checks that our office responded to as well as 13 suspicious person calls In terms of there's been a lot of outpouring of support for the firefighter who had his wallet stolen Just today the sheriff received calls from as far east as New York I think everybody's just as disturbed as we are with regards to that kind of that kind of thing But our detectives are making some significant progress in that and so we hope to be able to To share with you more information as that goes along In terms of folks we did contact we did end up Contacting three different people that we cited for being in a closed evacuation area In terms of missing persons cases some positive news on that front as well So yeah this morning I reported we had a total of seven missing persons cases Today we were able to locate two of those folks so we're now we're down to five so five missing missing people total There's three of those cases are from the Bonnie Dune area one from Ben Lohman and one from Boulder Creek And again our detectives are working Throughout the throughout the day and into the evening to to locate these people and try to figure out exactly where they are As you meant as you heard earlier the evacuation notice was lifted for Santa Clara County Just again a good reminder to to to focus on you know Resources like Cal Fire's website our Facebook for information with regards to to information concerning our county I bring that up just so people aren't confused between the two counties and the evacuation order being lifted in Santa Clara Another thing so in putting ourselves in in your position again And I've mentioned this before where we have our own staff members of our own staff that have been that have been displaced by the fire and so and some In areas that are very close to where the the fire is actually burning and so if you're if you're there at night If you're there tonight, and you're wondering well, how do I know if my home's been damaged? How do I know if my home's okay? so the county's created a website and really what you do is you go to this website you put in your address and You'll be able to get some information whether not your home's okay damaged or or destroyed hopefully not destroyed But it's a resource for you to be able to go to to get more information So I want to give that to you real quick. So that's Santa you said the website is Santa Cruz County dot us Ford slash fire recovery Ford slash damage assessment map and Follow me on this. It's dot a s Px is in x-ray, so that's I apologize for the lengthy web address, but Santa Cruz County dot us Ford slash fire recovery Ford slash damage assessment map dot a s px Thank you Speaking next from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is sergeant Zuno. Good evening For San Mateo County access to the evacuation zones remains restricted We understand like Deputy Chief Clark mentioned we understand that many of you are very anxious to know what's going on with your properties We're asking the people to please continue to be patient with us Please do not go to the evacuation centers or to the security checkpoints to ask on the status of your property We understand that you're very anxious. However, the staff working those locations. They do not have the information We are working with multiple agencies to inspect the areas that have been damaged and to identify hazards as This information is available and as and as we gather information on your properties We will put it together and make it available to you and we'll also let you know how you can get that information Some of some members of the community have asked where they can make donations For now in San Mateo County the San Mateo event center is collecting supplies for for babies specifically they're asking for diapers And baby formula and they're also collecting school supplies for students They can be dropped off at the San Mateo event center Monday through Friday From 10 a.m. To 3 p.m. And for now they're asking that only these items be donated Also for those for those in the lastly in regard to the Evacuation zones. We don't have any reports on on any suspicious people or looting We've been hearing rumors about that but right now no arrests or people caught conducting any looting in those areas And lastly for those in the agricultural business I have a contact number for you with the San Mateo County Agricultural Commissioner and that is<PHONE_NUMBER> thank you Speaking next and representing all the unified command agencies is Cal fire incident management team three incident commander Billy C Good evening. Obviously another successful day Increasing the containment up to 19% is tremendous for us my team hit the ground running last about seven days ago and Built a plan executed that plan put the resources in place and have been able to accomplish 19% containment on this incident while evacuating With our law enforcement partners over 77,000 people It says a lot about this area everyone's been very hospitable cooperative Obviously our firefighters been working very very hard to protect all their assets and all the unburned lands so far The sense it's impacted several people. It's a firefighting is a dangerous Situation to be in Wildland firefighter, especially here in the Western United States is very dangerous You hear a lot about our aircraft flying we timed out our aircraft of three shifts in a row now That says a lot about our safety record out there our personnel Organizing and orchestrating that aircraft both our fixed-wing and rotor wing assets out there Over the course of the last month in the air world in the wildland firefighting We've lost two tanker pilots on July 30th in the state of Nevada We lost the helicopter pilot last week in Western Fresno County and just yesterday. We lost the helicopter pilot Up in Mount Hood in Oregon. It's a dangerous profession. We take every Opportunity to insert every safety mitigation to ensure the safety of our personnel both on the ground and in the air So just be advised we're out there doing the best we can keeping everyone safe both the public and our firefighters at all times Thank you Final speaker this evening local cow fire unit chief from the San Mateo Santa Cruz unit chief Ian Larkin Good evening We're making progress and I appreciate the assistance from the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department To mitigate those those issues we were having in some of the areas of the fire where we had civilians in there causing havoc and kind of getting in the way of our operation to make our success of protecting structures and Containing the fire with a perimeter control As chief C said today was a good day. We've made progress. We're at 19% contained But I just want to reiterate that it's a dangerous situation as he alluded to we have a lot of heavy timber that's been burning for 10 days now and That heavy timber is going to burn out at some time is going to come down So we have trees coming down all throughout the fire perimeter on roadways on private property throughout the entire fire area, so It's still a very dangerous situation. So having the public Repopulate that it's just not Available to us now until we get this area Secured and safer at reentry Since the damage inspection teams are making a significant progress and the county has released their Application to show homeowners with the statuses of their property. I just want to give a few details of some Assistance for those folks that may have had damaged property or destroyed property So they can they can start the process by getting ahead of the the curve if they're able to Confirm their property has been damaged by going to disaster assistance dot gov. That's disaster assistance dot gov These are resources that will help them get started in that recovery process Also, they can download the FEMA app They can go it's available on Android and Apple platforms And once again, that's the FEMA app or they can call if they don't have the ability to download the application They can call 1-800-621-FEMA. That's 1-800-621-FEMA With that, I just want to thank everybody Chief C and team 3 for the effort. They're putting forward. I want to extend my Appreciation to both the San Mateo County and the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department the true inner operation Coordination that's going on between the multi-discipline agencies is of the most Professional manner that I've ever seen on an incident that I've been on the collaboration and cooperation is just outstanding So it's a pleasure to be a part of that and work towards the mitigation of this incident. Thank you All right, happy to get any questions Immediate Yes, the questions related to imminent threat for evacuation areas and when can people expect return So for firefighting as we've seen on this fire until we have line That's established around the fire perimeter and that line holds for over 24 hours That's when we feel comfortable actually calling something or an area contained or a percentage containment And as Chief Brunton mentioned the terrain on this side of the fire on the kind of southeast corner of the area It's you know almost vertical timber with three feet of forest duff underneath And to create a line in that area is not simply running a bulldozer through it It's hundreds and hundreds of hours of work for those firefighters on the ground. So, you know, I think We want to get people back in as quickly as possible The team is focused has dedicated an entire team for a 24-hour day operation to work on repopulation And re-energization and all the plans that are necessary But with that we're not going to sacrifice potentially putting people in harm's way You know, yeah, I'll get the expert up here the the question was really in relation to the area around Felton and Certainly with the clear skies we have a front-row seat and What you're seeing there with the smoke quite a bit of smoke production is a matter of a couple things one as I said Some of that terrain is very inhospitable It's really tough to work in so part of our strategies is to build our control lines and to let the fire Slowly work its way down to those control lines And then we can extinguish it And then we may be doing it based on again certain weather conditions certain fuel conditions and also certain topography Conditions that will establish a line let it burn to a certain point and then we will Introduce some fire in a very controlled fashion to eliminate that threat and thereby create a good buffer zone that helps Expedite that whole process of making a control line. So what you're seeing now is we are in a process I would anticipate that process being within the next 48 to 72 hours Where we were going to have success will have the right conditions to pull off that operation as I mentioned earlier We are right now constructing that line. We're making preparations to do a small burn operation We anticipate that the conditions should be right around Thursday to do that in which that'll help Put that nice buffer around the community of Felton It's the questions related to the two people that were found and any additional information about those that are missing Sure. So in terms of the two people we did find I obviously that's through Contacting contact contacting them directly making contact with them and them telling us where they are And we make sure that they're all right with regards to the other people that are missing there You know, we have detectives that are again tracking down people that know them Looking for people that may have had contact with them and then trying to get into the air into areas where they may have resided And if that area is impacted by fire, you know, obviously we're waiting for that area to be clear before we can get in there to To do further investigation And Sure as the question is the role of defensible space in the Bonnie Dune area and as and is it easily identifiable for firefighters chief absolutely Cal fire is for many years under the public resources code 42 91 instituted Defensible space inspection program the importance of defensible space a number of years ago We increased that amount of defensible space based on Our fires that we've encountered that maybe the original intent and distance was not enough so that was increased some modifications to that that code Established so that we gave better protection to the structures that we have also building standards There's been a variety of things land use planning the agency has embarked upon and work with our Cooperators to improve the survivability of the structures in our wildland urban interface So in this particular case as we see throughout the state and our team is deployed on fires throughout the state up and down the state We see a variety of Situations we see excellent excellent Situations where people have done their defensible stage space. They've done their due diligence They've done what they need to do and it gives us a fighting chance Whether we're there and at times when we aren't able to be there because of limited resources of large firefront early on in the incident That it can survive itself And then we unfortunately see many times more so than not a lot of people have not done their due diligence and They do not have the defensible space and the fire will will take and destroy or damage their homes In this case that by noon. I think you see the full variety of it You'll see a number of structures that were destroyed that did not have their defensible space Unfortunately, we saw a lot of that talking to the crews that were not only the initial attack companies But the other folks that the other responders that were there throughout this incident when things were really Intense as far as the fire intensity and running of the fire That they were not able to defend a lot of structures because as they went in to assess the structure They found that people had not done their part the construction types were not conducive to us to be successful in battling that structure So what we have to do at times is we have to make the very difficult decision to triage structures We have very limited resources a lot of structures defend a fast-moving fire front do the best what we can so we're going to take the best Opportunity we can based on the best chances and that's based on those homes that have the best defensible space And that's where we had successes and you can drive up and down through there And look and it's very apparent and very clear And this is a textbook case of where folks that did their defensible space those homes are standing today and and You know kudos to those folks that did it because now they have a they have a home standing because they did their part So the question is related to how many people who may still be in the evacuated zone and efforts they've underway Sure, so you know going door-to-door like we did throughout the entire evacuation area Obviously that was a huge task thousands of homes Three about 350. I think it'd be a number 347 people We made contact with who said that they would rather ride this fire out than leave And obviously we encouraged them to leave for for their safety, but our number was 347 That is still the case Now granted if people didn't answer the door or they're hiding from us There could be other mitigating circumstances there, but three three hundred forty seven Different houses told us they wanted to stay put All right. Thanks everybody for joining us. We'll see everybody back here at 6 a.m. Tomorrow This concludes the 6 p.m. press conference


Go ahead. Thank you, Jen. A few on immigration really quick. Merrick Carlin was asked yesterday if illegal entry at the border should remain a crime. And he said, I haven't thought about that question. Does President Biden believe that illegal entry at the border should remain a crime? Moving forward. Well, I think he was being asked as the Attorney General, the future Attorney General. I think he's looking to head to be confirmed of the United States. And if he wants to make considerations independently, he can certainly do that. But the President's spoken to this, and we believe in abiding by our laws. As you know, there, of course, is a process underway at the Department of Homeland Security to take a fresh look at prioritization and who is detained and who is sent back home. So that is something happening from the Department of Homeland Security. But again, if he's going to lead an independent justice department, and it's his prerogative to take a look at, you know, any policies under their purview. And to that point, why is the Biden administration reopening a temporary facility for migrant children in Texas? Well, first, the policy of this administration, as you all know, but just for others, is not to expel unaccompanied children who arrive at the border. And the process, how it works is that customs and border control continue to transfer unaccompanied children to the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement. That can take a couple of days. I just want to give this context so people need to understand the process. But because of COVID-19 protocols, the, like, social distancing requirements, the Capacited Existing Office of Refugee Resettlement Shelters has been significantly reduced, because, of course, you can't have a child in every bed. There needs to be spacing, and we abide by those spacing to protect the kids who are living in those facilities for a short period of time. And to ensure the health and safety of these kids, HHS took steps to open an emergency facility to add capacity where these children can be provided the care they need while they are safely — before they are safely placed with families and sponsors. So it's a temporary reopening during COVID-19. Our intention is very much to close it, but we want to ensure that we can follow COVID — COVID protocols as we — as unaccompanied minors come into the United States. Like, it's the same facility that was open for a month in the Trump administration. In summer 2019, that is when Joe Biden said, under Trump, there have been horrifying scenes at the border of kids being kept in cages. And Kamala Harris said, basically, babies in cages is a human rights abuse being committed by the United States government. So how is this any different than that? We very much feel that way. And these are facilities — let me be clear here. One, there's a pandemic going on. I'm sure you're not suggesting that we have children right next to each other in ways that are not COVID-safe, are you? I'm suggesting that Kamala Harris said that this facility — putting people in this facility — was a human rights abuse committed by the United States government. And Joe Biden said, under Trump, there have been horrifying scenes of border — at the border of kids being kept in cages. Now, it's not under Trump. It's under Biden. This is not kids being kept in cages. This is kids — this is a facility that was opened that's going to follow the same standards as other HHS facilities. It is not a replication. Certainly not. That's — that is never our intention of replicating the immigration policies of the past administration. But we are in a circumstance where we are not going to expel unaccompanied minors at the border. That would be inhumane. That is not what we are going to do here as an administration. We need to find places that are safe under COVID protocols for kids to be, where they can have access to education, health and mental services, consistent with their best interests. Our goal is for them to then be transferred to families or sponsors. So this is our effort to ensure that kids are treated — are not in close proximity and that we are abiding by the health and safety standards that the government has been set out. Go ahead. Just quickly on climate. Last week, the climate envoy, John Kerry, said that there are only nine years left to save the world from the effects of climate change. Does President Biden share that assessment? Nine years. I don't have a new timeline to give you from here. I can confirm for you, though, that the President agrees with former Secretary Kerry that it's a crisis, that time is of the essence. We need to act quickly, and that's why climate is a key part of his agenda.


So one thing I love doing in the salon with Olaplex number two is to add it to direct dyes, a hair color that doesn't need any processing. So to show you guys an example, I had my guest Grace in the salon yesterday and she was looking to tone down her old highlights. These highlights are highlights that we had put in so I didn't need to change the placement of the highlights. I just wanted to overlay them with a nice direct dye hair color. So the color I chose to tone down Grace's highlights was a nice chestnut brown. You could do the same process with any type of direct dye including fantasy colors. So to do this process is pretty simple and quick. The first thing I did was I added two ounces of Olaplex number two to a bowl and then I put the direct dye directly into it and got that to the desired level I was looking for. Once that's all mixed up, then I took her back to the shampoo bowl. I wet her hair down and I applied our formula from scalp to ends and let that sit on for at least 10 minutes. In this case, we let it sit on for about 15 minutes. Then I shampooed it out because you always shampoo out Olaplex number two. Then I conditioned using the direct dye in the conditioner as well. After we got her cut and styled, we gave her a really nice makeover. Then what I did was I talked to her about her home maintenance and what that's going to be is using Olaplex number three first. Leave that on her hair for 10 minutes once a week and then she can use her shampoo and then the customized conditioner with the direct dye in it as her daily maintenance. The benefit to doing this is that you're going to be building the bonds in your guest's hair while you do the treatment. So it's going to save you time and it's going to bump up your average ticket in the salon. For more tips, go to olaplex.com or download the Olaplex app on your mobile device. Thanks.
