My name is Andrea and today I'm sharing a simple and delicious recipe for Tex Mix Salisbury Steak. So let me show you what you're going to need. You're gonna need some ground beef and pork sausage, country gravy, and egg. The recipe calls for cilantro. My husband's not a fan so I always use parsley instead.  The recipe calls for beef broth but I always use beef bouillon, some onions, salsa, and breadcrumbs. And as always I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box. So let's get started. So the first thing we're gonna do is make our meat mixture so that we can form our patties. So to my bowl I'm adding my onions and by the way I'm using frozen onions. That is one of my cooking hacks. It saves so much time. Now I'm adding in my taco seasoning, salsa, breadcrumbs, my egg, and just a tablespoon of that fresh parsley or cilantro if that's what you're using.  Alright so I've got my mixture all together and now I'm just gonna make six patties and try to get them as even as possible. Okay I've got my patties all formed and now what I'm doing that doing is adding them to a large skillet that I have added a little bit of great seed oil to. And I am going to cover the skillet and let these cook for about 8 to 10 minutes on each side until they are cooked through. Okay so my meat is all done cooking. I removed it from the skillet and then I just wiped out the skillet to clean it. And now let's work on that gravy. I'm adding in my country gravy mix, my bouillon or broth if you have it. The rest of my parsley or again if you're using cilantro you'll just add that. And now I'm adding in my undrained rotel and I'm just gonna whisk it all together and cook it over a medium heat until it thickens up. Okay so that gravy has thickened up and now what I'm doing is just adding the patties back into the skillet and let them heat through. Okay so here is the Salisbury steak after I let it simmer in that gravy and I cut it open so you all could see the inside. And the rotel does give that gravy a nice little kick. If you'd prefer something milder I would use a mild rotel. Serving it with a side of mashed potatoes and Mexican style corn. I hope you all enjoyed this video. If you did I have an entire playlist of quick and easy recipes that I will link in the description box. Make sure to give us a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed to our channel we'd love to have you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time.


The Rutherford model of the atom left one outstanding problem. In the Thomson model, the electrons were stationary in the positively charged pudding, but what keeps a negatively charged electron from falling into the positively charged nucleus, given that the opposite charges attract each other? The first proposed solution was to assume that the electron is in orbit around the nucleus, like the earth around the sun. Just as we can use gravitational and centripetal forces to calculate the radius and velocity of a planet around the sun, we can use electric and centripetal forces to calculate the radius, circumferences, velocity, and revolutions per second of an electron around the nucleus. For hydrogen, we get a very small circumference of around a third of a nanometer, and a very large velocity, almost one percent of the speed of light. That combination gives us a fantastically large 660 trillion revolutions per second. Now think about that for a second. But classical electromagnetic theory points out that an accelerating charge radiates energy. Theoretically, the electron should collapse into the nucleus in less than a trillionth of a second. And yet, we see that it does not collapse. You'll recall from our How Far Away Is It segment on Distant Stars that the light spectrum from stars was covered by thousands of dark lines called Fraunhofer lines or spectral lines. Although these lines had been studied for over a hundred years, no one understood what they were. In 1885, Johann Ballmer broke out a subset of these lines for hydrogen and developed some mathematical interrelationships between them. Then almost 30 years later, Nielus Bohr developed a quantized momentum theory for the atom. It partially explained these lines. His model still had the electrons orbiting the nucleus, but they could only orbit at certain specific distances from the nucleus, called shells. Each shell had its own unique energy level, N, where N was a positive integer, equal to one, two, three, etc. These were called the atom's quantum numbers. Electrons radiate or absorb energy when they change energy levels. The emitted or absorbed light has the energy difference between the two levels. This energy is equal to Planck's constant times the frequency of the light. Here's how it works. When a photon with an energy E hits an electron in a shell around a nucleus that has a higher shell it can reach with the same exact energy, the photon's entire energy is transferred to the electron instantaneously. This jumps the electron to a higher energy level with a larger quantum number. The photon is eliminated. This creates absorption lines in a star's spectrum as light from the star travels through the star's atmosphere. When the electron drops from this excited state back to a lower energy level, a photon with the exact difference between energy levels is emitted. This creates emission lines that we can see in the lab. Bohr's model explained the Ballmer series for hydrogen spectra. In addition, it provided the physical mechanism for Planck's quantized emission blackbody radiation and Einstein's quantized absorption photoelectric effect. There was also momentous for astronomy. By observing the absorption lines in a star's spectrum we can tell what the star is made of. And not only that, by analyzing how these lines shift, we can calculate star radial velocities via the Doppler effect and even use them to measure their distances and the expansion of the universe. Indeed, Bohr's model explained a great deal, but there was no explanation for why the shell distances from the nucleus were as described. And there was no explanation for why the orbiting electrons didn't radiate away their energy and collapse into the nucleus.

I'm the most irresponsible Slowest yeah, yeah, whatever say whatever you want.  He had more receiving yards mark Andrews did and Tyree kill and digs. That's crazy No, I have nobody to thank except for the people who bonded votes because they are sweaty losers for this Darren Waller But you don't want thank you boys 98 overall Darren Waller the prestige paid off I was really worried that we were never gonna get another Darren Waller What do you know? He's 95 speed 97 catch 95 catch of traffic and guess what now? I'm so happy that I idiotically never upgraded Darren Waller because this is now the best tight end in the game Because there are all those moments where we could have gotten somebody better But I stayed loyal to my boy unlike I've ever stayed loyal to any girl in my whole life And guess what we get a 98 as a reward. He was already so good as a 92 This is just even better offensive line looks great DK MacF AJ Brown definitely got to get ourselves a super legitimate half back I mean going at the playoffs. We can't have a 10 here and we can't have backs Williams at fullback We need something new there as well as a backup tight end would also be nice because this does come in a lot Evo, we did a great job last episode.  I finally did and you guessed what were one two three four away from a 93 I put some out of 95 and The prophecy has come true. I knew there is gonna be a debo team in the air It really wasn't hard to predict so it's not like I'm a genius or anything, but wait a second You see that why does he have four is it once you get a player to a 98? They get four ability slots.   This is my first time ever seen this awesome So we've got some time until we get to that point if we have more games like that I I would love best case scenario debo Samuel by the first game of the playoffs He is a 97 or 98 overall that I'll switch him with DK DK will come to wide receiver two in our wide receiver one We'll basically be the best wide receiver in the game.  I just wasn't very good at communicating 96 97 with the boost love to see that I wouldn't be too shocked if he got another really good card But we'll have to see if that does happen in the long run. We got to get Quincy Williams out of there He's doing a great job is just like a fill-in high-speed user, but he's just bad He's just bad and then detackles left and not so great in corner three divine Diablo He's making it happen, but it's just he's just a fill-in and wow I need a focused kicker So I think if I can emphasize anything on today's episode focus kicker is my number one priority All right, ladies and gentlemen this wheel is still there's look at how big the wheel is I don't think the wheel has ever had this many options on it. Let's see.   Do you guys know what that means?    Oh, this is sketchy. I think I'm gonna do one of each. All right one for offense I want Tony Pollard or Patterson.  Also as you guys know if I'm in the playoffs and I completed challenge real We're not in the playoffs yet But when I am in the playoffs and completed challenge real I can buy any pack from the store not just coins So in the playoffs completing the challenge was gonna be insane for the same reason that this spin is insane right now Dude, this is huge. I'm gonna be so livid if we get all doops There's a couple of amazing case scenarios, and there's a couple of really bad case scenarios Let's just pray baby. We got three training service. Our first one is team with your offense.  Come on Oh my god. All right. Hey, we got a clutch up on defense. I'm not gonna cheat this. All right I'm not gonna cheat this. I'm not gonna quick sell them and reroll defense Come on, man. You've got a clutch up now. I just got hold you have to clutch up defense. We got award That ain't bad at all divine Diablo is a bit of a liability in that secondary right now I think that's a word like shana being a starter will move my I don't even know what the time ahead of my corner To is but then's a word amazing specialist. I think it's Nick folk. Come on, baby Give me the kicker. That's actually nasty. Yes. Yes.  Oh, yeah My other corners DK. All right good So now Denzel Ward can be the other starting corner and DK can move to corner three and then Jevon Hargrave I mean, this is the the biggest weak point on this defense is d-tackles right now other than middle linebacker obviously So did Jevon Hargrave in there takes us up to a 91 overall We might even be a 92 when I throw DK in right here. Definitely got to give Denzel Ward acrobat Oh, that could have been I dude I would have loved a team of the year half back like those are some of my favorite cards in the game right now I love that Pollard and the Patterson. That's only wheelspin one We can still get something good on wheelspin, too Oh, yeah, we go acrobat here for sure. Let him just do his thing Don't got to throw anything else on it. Our first wheelspin gets us 296 overall players and One Darren Waller that we already had but hey, it's it is what it is, baby.  Oh top 10.  Oh Can you was over right? I ain't getting can't do I'm just thinking out loud I could get cam Newton middle linebacker though Daniel Carlson. Wait a second Does he have a good card?    You know Carlson was a god He should have like a 93 overall kicker that I could have put focus kick around You know, I was getting so hype for Auburn, but I don't think any of these players are really that helpful for me There's a Uzi might have a good card. He's an 85. It's kind of a bummer. I can't believe I'm saying this I actually cannot believe I'm saying this. I think cam Newton middle linebacker is my best pick They have a ton of players, but none of them are good or useful for me This sounds so stupid, but I'm buying an 89 overall middle linebacker cam Newton because it is the best purchase here He's low key kind of good though 89 speed 89 excel his intangibles as an actual linebacker are not good But neither are Quincy Williams. So this is a this is an upgrade. The challenge wheel is under way and I have some explaining to do Let me see this challenge. Well first then I'll explain it. Um One TD a hundred plus yards with one player. I like this challenge a lot. I feel good about it We'll see who it ends up being we're just gonna play as best we can the first half and then make decision after that I should be four and two right now I am actually five and two the reason is I was making the team of the year pack-and-play video last week And I accidentally queued up into a game I was trying to play house rules and I queued up into a game and got the win Hold on some people in the comments were saying well pop amigas you did that on purpose So you'd be closer to Super Bowl.  Yeah, he said I love you. Oh boy. We're in for a game, baby Oh, I didn't mean to put the why I didn't mean to put the why now.  I've never seen people try harder in my whole life.  Oh my god I mean he did get rocked on the first set in a second, but it is uncharacteristic to see a fumble that early All right, we got it. Yeah, let's go with the stretch.  If I have to take a field here. I totally will Let's just make smart plays this whole time. Yes Oh, it's man. Oh, I could have thrown at TN if I had bigger balls as a beta drive. That's super beta I'll just take my field. I have to imagine.  We see this a lot Good stop corner out. No Step up for him.  Oh, it's not What's he doing here? Oh, oh, that's a stop. Let's go, baby. Could be the run. It is it is And that's another stop Third and goal and now he's thinking about his play call. This is what I live for gotta be QB sneak. Yep Oh, I thought I thought we could stop it. Wait, wait, that might be good news actually. Oh Jesus Christ, bro I know tell me about it. We really did have such a great start to that game But he came right back and scored.  Wow. I gotta say though I'm very happy that EA has finally addressed it at least in some way It's dog shit that you can even desync from a game, but at least nobody gets a win for no reason Let's not be so scared on offense. I'm embarrassed with how How beta I was always doing the same play as the last guy He did the exact same place the last guy. Damn it. Lots of audibles The underneath this. Oh Jesus Christ. I don't think it's gonna be an easier game. I think it's gonna be a harder game That is what? He just made the ugliest catch ever, but it actually worked out is he caught it a little too close All right, we need a hundred yards in one touchdown with one player. Oh Uh People gets an opportunity to scramble here.  Oh Metcalf corner cannot handle and remember this is team of the year waller now. All right. Oh Oh Depot. Oh, no, he's sitting on that at the end user is great But we're still gonna get four yards third and six third and six. Oh I can playmaker waller.   Don't tell me He just did that. Are you shitting me? That was so fucked up That was the computer not a good time to learn that DNs can do that now. He goes play action.   I Was so wrong.   What is this guy running? He's killing everything. I'm doing I saw his corner go up the field thought that was open and he switched right back onto the route He's good at throwing that too. I don't know if he really has to think too hard about these throws Oh, he wants to come back, right? Okay, good. Good. That's what we need. We need that badly. Oh A block there would have been huge, but okay. He can make bad throws just knowing that makes me feel so much better I mean it could be obviously the case that he's throwing shittier passes because he doesn't care nearly as much Because he's winning by so much one touchdown here ball half that is our path to still winning this game. Oh Damn it. He got a screamer off that Jack Youngblood.  Oh Wait a second. Oh, it was there, but that still is gonna look for duh Darren waller underneath bingo drop those puppies off, dude He's dropping off so hard Do I try it?   It's first and goal and I want Debo Samuel to get it Come on, baby.  I did not mean to run this I'm actually gonna try it though. Fuck. Yeah, there's waller. Don't get in the way. Metcalf Stay in the pocket. Just wait Why why? Devo touchdown.  You think he drops off enough to an out route is open Debo Samuel Mmm, DJ Brown's gonna come over and move somebody and Debo is gonna be able to get this fourth and goal. Oh It's not there. Oh, no, I gotta go Debo here on the playmaker.  I have no regrets. All right. He wants to just heave something deep, right?  Yes. Oh, yes, okay.  I'm that close I sent people. Wow. Yeah. Love that. Well, at least I feel good about going for it because people go would have done me No, good.  He does 18 to 9 though. How do we feel about that score? Oh You're so good at the game. Why can't you switch on make a tackle?  No, you're not bounds.  Go up the field there.  He doesn't go anywhere. It comes towards me.   I don't know what that was Z spots stop and go I have to rethink my game plan now. He still can't get two point converts though So that's kind of exciting. Oh back right Darren Waller already has a hundred, but he's no touchdowns. My only touchdown is Deebo He's got 28 So we either feed the ball to Deebo or try and get a Darren Waller Challenge will be super nice because we could salvage are those really good players we got See, so who gets playmaker?  Oh My god, that's the exact play I did last time and I play me to Deebo He ran up the field that would have been a lot of the yards that we needed for Deebo there, too He's gonna somehow just launch over the top when I'm playing over the top pass See, this is what I thought No way, you know in hindsight. I kind of wish I didn't get a desync I think I would rather play to subscriber at this point Yeah, go over the top go over the top and throw that big one that you're always throwing throw it throw it see like this This is how it should have been.  Oh, that's funny. This is how it should have been setting up the whole time I don't get it. What's different now.   I'm guarding it every time Dude, he's kind of he's kind of speedy. Oh, let me go. Let me go. Let me go This guy's buzz kill. All right, let's just run commit. Hopefully he'll throw like a laser But we're gonna do that. Just kneel it. Well, now he'll probably throw it in Oh, that was cool play This guy's got the playbook boy go in. All right, nine seconds to score Darren Waller. You think it's possible. Oh, he's under the linemen That's good news When I have gotten enough yards of Dibo there, I don't think so.  I'm gonna lose Cam Newton, Javon Hargrave, Denzel Ward. I will say they don't really do anything I don't think I even noticed Denzel Ward and if anything my secondary got torched So I'm not like up in arms about losing him It is a bomber. The first guy said he's gonna be in the episode. Absolutely, but absolutely my guy I'm gonna be depressed if that other guy messaged me He could say whatever he wants and I just have to take it wanna send me Darren Waller. You deserve them Respectfully. All right boys. We have no choice but to win in the next episode and to win the episode after that So I love you boys. Thanks so much. It's always I gotta get you two dubs Hopefully if I can get both those dogs the same episode I get a rage quit Oh my god, that is the best case scenario, but hey, we can't pray for something like that We just got player hearts out. I love you boys. I'll see you next episode. Peace You


Good morning everyone and thanks for being here today as some of you know yesterday members of my administration Presenting to the legislature on the state of our housing crisis and type of action that will be needed if we're truly going to overcome it This is not a new challenge and we've made it a top priority since I first took office When we passed a historic thirty five million dollar housing bond Since then we've committed hundreds of millions of dollars to build more housing across Vermont Keep in mind much of this funding came from the federal government at levels. We will likely not see again for decades but Even with this unprecedented amount of government spending which we know we won't be able to replicate We aren't building nearly enough housing to satisfy our ever-growing needs As you heard yesterday according to VHFA, we need to build as many as 40,000 new units of housing by 2030 In our own Calculation show we need to increase the number of units we're building by about three times what we've been doing statewide And even more than that in several counties Unfortunately at the present rate we won't come close to this type of building even with record spending What that tells us is this isn't just about money. So we must look at other solutions as well. I Believe some of the choke point is the regulatory system That makes building or rehabbing the homes of Vermonters need to costly Too slow and therefore too limited and too unaffordable for homeowners and renters. So we need to make dramatic changes We made some progress last year with the home act But with the deficit of housing we're facing we must be bold We can no longer just nibble around the edges If we're serious about fixing the housing crisis, we need to totally rethink our approach Because doing the things the way we've been doing it will just lead us to the same conclusion My team will go over some of the data and highlights in a few minutes But what Vermonters can expect from us when the legislature returns in January is a major Regulatory tax and incentive package that will reduce the obstacles government has created to build the housing We desperately need And we went to legislators yesterday to get this conversation started early Because it's going to take all of us willing to think big in order to make real change. I Know legislators agree. We're in a housing crisis I've heard many of them state that and I've seen where they campaigned on it in the last election So I think we're all on the same page This session is time for us to come together to take on the regulatory and cost issues that have been growing for far too long Because the reality is if we don't we won't be able to reverse the demographic challenges. We face We won't be able to recruit and retain the families and workers communities across our state need to survive and thrive And we won't be able to find the housing that families facing homelessness desperately need We can't afford to mess this up and we can't afford to let politics our special interest groups get in the way We need to work together to deliver the solutions Vermonters need and that's exactly what my team and I intend to do So with that, I'll turn it over to Commissioner Farrell Thank you governor good morning You'll see my colleagues from AHS here We've been working as a cross agency team Additionally with members of the agency of natural resources and other partners that are key to this conversation We've been working in a working group. That's been analyzing homelessness data looking at current and previous housing studies And we've been reviewing current and previous trends Before we dive into the data, I want to set some high-level conclusions from our work The first being that as we've long known we have an acute housing crisis And this deficit runs the whole housing spectrum across the state We also know we can't buy our way out of this crisis as the governor said We need to create an environment in which builders can quickly can quickly create opportunities That make it easier for renters to find rentals at a more reasonable price and home buyers to find more opportunities The result of our hard work has convinced us that under the current regulatory tax policy and economic conditions that have evolved over many decades Vermont can't solve the housing crisis at any level for any population simply by nibbling around the edges of this issue Housing reports dating back to the 1990s have forecasted the crisis that we face today tax policy, sorry But in the past we haven't quite acted sufficiently enough even though we've had these warnings We've simply directed state spending to unit generation at times. We've said that'll that'll be enough to get the job done So at our current rate of public investment as the governor indicated We know although it's been unprecedented and although we still haven't seen the full benefit of that unit creation It's still going to leave a deficit For march 2020 through october of this year We've invested nearly 400 million dollars in absolutely historic amount of funding Into the into unit generation through the vermont housing and conservation board the department of housing and community development And the vermont housing and finance agency We still face a significant unit deficit projects funded by these partners And through things like the community development block grant through these typical public funding channels Are creeping up to an average per cost of almost 600 thousand dollars per unit So at that rate we could invest a billion dollars of public funding and still only produce about 2000 units That is not going to come close to meeting our need To better understand the issue We're going to pull up data that looks at this on a per county basis Because part of the problem in the past has a one side has been a one size fits all approach That treats the entire state the same and that's not going to work We know that our economic center is very greatly And it can make it difficult for the communities that are struggling most so In a moment we're going to pull up this data, but We just want to acknowledge that this is not a perfect calculation And we know that no such calculation exists. There's going to be a couple items in here in which folks will instinctively say Uh, this is probably a conservative estimate and that's because it is a conservative estimate The data we used is us census bureau data and um While we would love to have used data that we think more accurately reflects the reality on the ground This is frankly, uh, the most objective agreed upon data so that folks could use this as a starting point I think it's likely based on our conversations with the legislature yesterday that we will also all agree that even this Striking unit deficit is an under estimate So with that in mind, why don't we pull up the power point? What's up? Okay. Thank you john Um John do we have the methodology slide up? Okay, so you can see that what we've set here are some targets Um And these targets indicate a healthy housing market. So generally speaking A rental vacancy rate and a home ownership vacancy rate of five percent is considered a healthy market Now, uh on the next slide before we go to it I'm just going to let you know we're going to see vacancy rates that are not close to that That said you will see some vacancy rates that seem higher than what most of us would expect and then what that then that Will we know is the reality? For instance, um As of yesterday, uh, we looked at the q3 2023 rental vacancy rate That the census bureau updated and it's now showing a three percent rental vacancy rate across the state And a zero point three percent home ownership vacancy rate across the state So already the census bureau's data has moved downward below the data that we used Even with the data that we know has slightly inflated vacancy rates We're still going to see a massive unit deficit, especially relative to what we've been generating So john if we can go to the next slide So what you're what you're looking at here Is the regional vacancy rates roughly by county grouped by the the us census bureau grouping The owned vacancy rates you can see hover around one percent nowhere near that target three percent Next to that you can see the unit count that it would take to get to that healthy vacancy rate On these unit counts. I want to point out this takes into account both the units needed to rehouse folks experiencing homelessness As well as reaching these healthy vacancy rates Now on the right side, you'll see the rental vacancy rates These are below healthy market, especially in counties like washington and chitinon counties. It's far below a healthy market Even in those counties where this indicates a relatively healthy rental market We know from surveys and experience on the ground that these are high estimates and the us census bureau's margin of error reflects that Still even with those you can see the number of units needed In order to achieve those healthy rental vacancy rates and rehouse folks experiencing homelessness In total this accounts for roughly 6,800 units And bear in mind that is not a dynamic number what I mean by that is That 6,800 units could be absorbed right now to establish a healthy housing market That would not take into account what we need in terms of population growth Workforce growth the two to three thousand units that drop off the housing market each year due to disrepair Because vermont has the oldest housing stock in the nation Now if we move to the next slide You can see the these unit deficits stacked up against what we have historically been producing And thus you see next to the unit deficit a production factor What that increased production factor indicates is The uh the multiple by which we would have to increase the five-year average That average of the last five years by the way of what we've been producing For units in each of these counties is higher than the previous 10 years Another indication that this is a conservative estimate because over the past several years we've benefited from massive investment And so again, I want to point to we've gone on the conservative side and we're still seeing nearly 8 000 units That could be absorbed right now I want to point to the statewide production increase factor of 3.2 statewide As the governor indicated That calls for a massive systemic change The numbers I pointed to earlier the investment that we've seen and the theoretical investment Will not touch that type of an increase so we absolutely need to look at systemic change I also want to while we have this slide up before we move away from the data I want to just point out that at this rate we are By no means at risk of overbuilding and in fact this data and reports from several previous administration support That we have decades of evidence that our current system produces significant underbuilding of housing so I want to acknowledge that while these are conservative estimates. They're a starting point and we're happy to have discussions about more accurate data But we know that it would only move upward from here And so that 40 000 unit projection that phfa has talked about we think is Is certainly an accurate target and further investigation, which will come out in the spring may reveal that it's even higher So this is the hard truth the reality that we face government spending alone is not going to get the job done As the governor mentioned in the coming months, we're going to roll out a detailed proposal on how to address this situation But the conversation needs to start now So our position is that we must tackle rapid action in these three areas land use tax policy And investment incentive proposals What we're recommending for policy reforms is that we expedite permanent lasting solutions for the homeless population Uh for low and moderate income families and for entry-level families and uh expanding the workforce As we await a firmer budget picture. We don't have final Final recommendations at this time, but we can highlight areas in which we want to start the conversation In land use and zoning. We know we want to expand on the work that the home acts started last year Some of that is going to be ending exclusionary zoning practices and municipalities We collectively acknowledged further during the 2023 legislative session that act 250 exemptions are necessary in order to enable unit generation We need to adjust the triggers to act 250 Uh represented by the 10 by 5 by 5 rule which currently not only reduce unit count, but actually encourage sprawl We need to get serious about establishing short and predictable timelines for permitting and focus on making the appeals process More constructive by narrowing the scope of appeals and by preventing the current structure in which Housing development and emergency shelters can be stopped just by folks who aren't excited about the idea of new neighbors When it comes to tax policy, if we're going to lower the cost of housing, we need to remove barriers to investing in housing This could uh require us to Um look at changes to the property transfer tax the capital gains tax expansions of the renter rebate Uh, we need to remove the annual cap on the downtown tax credit program On financing and I want to make this point clear. We are not saying that Investment and financing is not necessary. We continue to acknowledge and the governor has Always said that investment in housing has to happen. It's only going to be effective if we make these other changes Some of those investments mean focusing on the programs that have been proven to work Innovative new solutions like the Vermont housing improvement program and the manufactured housing and replacement program Have proven to be cost effective and innovative programs that fill certain gaps and finally we need to explore ways to Reduce the financing barrier of housing construction implementing Solutions to finance the infrastructure for housing development such as roads water and sewer Again a one-size-fits-all approach is not going to work because this needs to be focused on a county by county basis To conclude we've done a lot of work over the last few months We have new data around the unit deficits And we've worked across agencies and we will continue to collaborate We also want to be sure that we're collaborating with other stakeholders and the legislature But this will make some folks uncomfortable and that is good. We need to get uncomfortable in order to make the necessary change I'm now going to hand it off to commissioner winters. Thank you Good morning. Thank you commissioner ferrell. Thank you governor Another question that i'm sure you all have and that we face today is what do we do with the hotel motel program In the meantime, and how do we bridge that gap? As we've said, it's important to recognize that the answer to homelessness lies in increasing the availability of affordable housing We can't solve our hotel motel problem or homelessness more broadly Without acting quickly to create more units faster and at a much lower cost I'll talk a little bit about the efforts that we have been making but a lack of units undermines our progress at every turn It's also important to recognize right up front that the hotel motel model is not working and is not cost effective DCF serves as the safety net We are not a housing provider And as the safety net as that last resort, we're on the front lines every single day trying to help as many people as possible in their time of need The work for us never stops We've been trying to address and prevent unsheltered homelessness and implement various plans since the start of the pandemic era hotel program Long before i arrived as dcf commissioner that work has been going on for years We've been diligent in supporting and working with our community partners on many fronts including record spending 24.6 million in federal and state funding in state year Fiscal year 2024 using the housing opportunity grant program Those grants provide the funding and support to do a variety of important work to try to address Homelessness crisis that we face today It helps us operate emergency overnight shelters provide essential services to shelter guests provide tradition transitional housing rapidly rehoused families And individuals implement a coordinated entry system to streamline client access to resources Provide flexible financial assistance directly to households administer the homeless management information system Expand emergency shelters add new local staff positions and create motel based services We continue at dcf to work hard to identify new shelter locations and providers to run those shelters To provide emergency housing expertise To connect individuals to services to implement voucher programs prevent eviction support outreach programs And provide housing navigation and retention services Despite all of our best efforts to assist those experiencing homelessness The challenge persists because individuals cannot move forward without a place to call home The hard truth is that maintaining the status quo As we're doing now And this winter will cost us 50 million dollars a year without delivering the necessary services We have about 450 shelter beds across the state separate from the hotel program There's a general consensus that a shelter model combining congregate and non congregate congregate options and wraparound services Run by nonprofits rather than for profits would be preferable But the reality is that's not a feasible option in the near term We have been and we will continue to work with communities across the state to bolster our existing emergency shelters And to identify and expand other shelter options But that's been slow going it requires suitable locations community support staffing and funding Expanding shelter beds faces the same challenges as the broader housing issue A lack of available units in space for a swift transition into and out of emergency shelter While we're actively searching for local sites providers and buildings to establish these shelters The pace and quantity can't keep up with the growing demand We explored a more comprehensive plan to greatly expand shelters to add subsidies and services However, the best case scenario at our current caseload would cost 70 million dollars Its feasibility is questionable and sows the wisdom of a large expansion of shelters when we don't have an adequate supply of units To ensure shelter stays are brief as was always intended In the near term the need for shelter beds will become increasingly serious with the end of the june 30 cohort stay on april 1st We can't continue to rely on hotels to house those in need And the agency of human services proposes to establish emergency shelters In the regions with the most need for those still in hotels at the end of the current program this spring We're also helpful that by using fewer hotel rooms. We'll incentivize lower room rates for the smaller number of rooms that we would need And it might spur the sale of hotels to turn into other forms of shelter and affordable housing Homelessness is a crisis and our hope is that everyone hears clearly the message that we need more housing units to solve it And we need them as soon as possible Thank you Now open up to questions Secretary commissioner winters just said and you've said we need to add housing How about is there any work being done on reducing the numbers of homeless people? Well, let's separate the two issues As well because it's about we need housing in all sectors. We need middle income housing We just We're desperate for more housing which will solve a lot of the other issues to free up Less expensive housing as well so We have to again focus this conversation on We need those units regardless of the homeless population. We need more units on the ground So that's been going to be our focus and we'll we'll Again work on the homeless population In conjunction with that, but the main focus is really about building more units Yesterday and today mentioned Potentially setting up several shelters in different communities How do you expect to to to pull this off in such a short amount of time? Especially given that the one in burlington has run into some pushback. Well, again, that's why we need Some some assistance from the legislature. We have to think bold here We're going to need regulatory reform in order to accomplish this So everything's got to be on the table Now I know um in the past the speaker has called on me to to um To have a state of emergency uh with housing And I would say that's not off the table My preference my preference would be to work with the legislature hand in hand To accomplish this together and get the results we need but that's still an option What would you need to see before issuing a state of emergency where the guard could set up? Again tensor structure cooperation from a regulatory perspective I think would be very helpful tax incentives tax credits and so forth would be helpful You know, this is simply an economics issue Supply and demand We have more demand than we have supply So we need to reverse that, you know, we need more we need more supply and and that will reduce the demand Reduce the prices as a result So um from my perspective it's it's economics 101 Were there any or ever any discussions in the administration or in the legislature for that matter to to buy some of these hotels We've funneled hundreds of millions sure a lot of the the housing trusts across vermont have been doing that We still believe that there's a path forward if we can find some that would be helpful as commissioner winters had said But there probably isn't near enough to accomplish what we need to accomplish Is that accurate? That's accurate governor. There have been a few dozen Different hotel and motel conversions over the years. It takes time And it takes a willing market right now with the hotel model that we have right now It's much more profitable to keep people in those hotels keep Keep those rooms full. So we think with Using less rooms The fair market value for some of those hotels might go down There might be more of an incentive for hotel and motel owners to work with us and transition those to different types of housing It's all all part of the problem And I do just want to say that we we have been working On emergency shelter siting that those are conversations that have been going on for a very long time So a lot of those are already in process We don't want to over promise that we'll be able to to stand up Shelters in in five or six communities by April 1st But we're pretty optimistic about it and it's going to take community support to really make that happen in partnerships As the governor mentioned Are you able to share where some of these might be? Well, we look at the the areas of highest need, you know, right now it's it's chitenden county. It's central vermont. It's Rutland county Bennington and braddleboro areas. Those are the five areas with the most concentration of hotels and People experiencing homelessness. So we start there, but we're really open to a lot of different options in different areas further governor Yesterday I had to hear a bold getting uncomfortable Maybe some of the key words may sell last year with s100 the home act There was some active 50 reform but former commissioner hanford I know you sort of like to see more but I guess where's your confidence level rank? I mean with the democrat supermajority in our mental state How often are you can get them on your side for these more uncomfortable and bold changes? Yeah, well again, if this is truly a crisis as many many have stated stated that this is an emergency And then we have on our hands we have to treat it as such So we have to come together And when that happens, I mean we've seen it with the pandemic We've seen it with the flooding in july with the state of emergency You have to introduce measures that make people uncomfortable and make some of our own Secretaries and commissioners uncomfortable with what we have to do To achieve the goal of getting people back on their feet and and keeping people Safe And if this is truly a crisis then I would expect that they would rally and and that they would they would want to do What what's best for the community at large vermont at large? So I'm I'm hopeful but but again, we'll I think the home act You know, that's a great example. I think of it was a good provision But it didn't go far enough. In fact, I was having Second thoughts about whether I was going to sign it at one point because I didn't think it went far enough And it's proven to be helpful But but we need more of that so It was the same with you know with reform to our pension system As you remember I vetoed that because I didn't think it went far enough and it wasn't going to accomplish the goal I wasn't successful in my my veto But but I think it's proven to be the case. It was it didn't go far enough And we didn't we didn't accomplish what we'd hoped and and you'll see that that's for another day But there's a deficit there as well It's obviously yesterday's the world the joint fiscal committee hearing But are you planning on speaking with the speaker or pro-time kind of heading into the session to lay down these priorities? We'll work with legislative leadership as well as you know the chairs of committees appropriate committees To try and flesh out some of this as we develop it But you haven't had any conversations directly with them yet. I hope not why We haven't fleshed out all the details and what we need We're we're developing that as we go I think some of what we've talked about this is this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but but I think Really diving into the details collecting the data Has opened my eyes and I hope it'll open their eyes to how extreme this issue is and it's about the number of units that we need in order to to level set and so To get ahead of this we're going to just have to do a lot more than we've been doing Certainly the flooding has compounded some of these housing challenges. I believe folks at the Berlin mobile home park. I think just paid their fourth month rent But there's still some have been removed, but there's still many homes there Where do we stand in terms of of the cleanup and removal? Yeah, we're we're negotiating with the owner of the park right now. We're ready to go in there They may want to take care of some of them themselves But those are details we're we're working out the lot rent has ceased for those We have we have made agreement with some of the mobile home owners and we've taken possession of them We've given them some money to supplement what they receive from FEMA to get them up to the 41 000 And so those are really in the state's possession. So they aren't they do not owe lot rent at this point Physical space itself. I know it's private. It's owned by the owner We talk about the buyout program For berry and some of these other communities mean would that ever be in the cards for the state to buy out that that plot of land Or river run just up. Yeah, no, I think everything is on the table. Um, we'd have to have a willing partner I'm not sure what the park owner is contemplating in it. We have to have the community The municipality has to be a partner as well And that gets difficult Because we talk about the grand list reducing the the size of the grand list By reducing the number of homes that would be able to be to be in in that for tax purposes, so It's uh, but it's part of the conversation. Yes Do you have any data on what might be called existing housing but uninhabitable at the moment? I'm sure we have that somewhere. Um, but uh, From what I hear we lose You know thousands on a yearly basis that that are no longer habitable and And those are the types of homes that we talked about with our v-hip program It was something that I thought about years ago when I went through my hometown of berry To see some of the beautiful homes that are there that are dilapidated victorian homes and so forth that are no longer housing anyone But they needed to help they needed some assistance They needed some funding in order to bring them back up to you know some some Level of habitability. So, um, that's why that's why we use the That's the new housing. Oh, yeah. Yes v-hip program that we've we put into place. We had the legislature Adopted that with us That has proven to be very cost effective And it's not the total answer, but you think about the the number of homes we have In and in berry and rottland and and and burlington and chitting county that maybe needs some help and in the assistance and Trying to to get them again to that level of habitability That's a benefit to us for far less money. I'm going to let mr. Carroll Yeah So I cited a number before we're seeing new construction of of these publicly funded units Approaching six hundred thousand dollars six hundred thousand dollars per unit by comparison v-hip that the governor mentioned Those rehab units are coming online for about thirty thousand dollars each and we've seen hundreds of those come online That's a similar square footage Uh, yes, it would be it's it's on a per unit basis, but it could take a bunch of different forms It could be bringing a unit back up to code to get back online or it could be taking an old victorian and splitting it up into Two or three units, but it's vastly more cost effective Um, either than a community that had a housing Unhoused problem they hired a consultant for fifty thousand dollars And the report was basically if you build it, they will come If you do the right thing and provide more shelter and more food you will have more homeless Well, I think I would take that is if we build it They will come in terms of attracting more people into the state more workers more Well, I'm talking about Quite quite the opposite. I think a vibrant economy Will help the homeless and I think that we we need to address this This housing issue that we have and I believe that will reduce the demand for for homeless housing because it'll lift the economy And inject the economy with the with the workers we need To supplement the income. So I think it's all all positive If we focus on housing in general, I think it'll help the homeless population as well in many different ways I notice the data that the two southern counties had the most available units by quite a bit Is that a part of an economic problem? Or Any unique well if it's the southern With windham and denny's 67 percent versus zero or one percent I think if you go and take a look at what happened during that period of time For my Yankee clothes, right in windham county Um, I would say there's a direct correlation there With the number of jobs that were lost in that area high paying positions That were lost in that in that area to what we're seeing today You can look over in bennington and you can see Ever ready's gone. There's been many many manufacturing Entities uh that uh economic I think I think a lot of it is economic, but Anything I think that's right. Yep Governor you mentioned um taxes or tax proposals could be on the table Next session will be will be excuse me. We'll be tomorrow at the state house There is going to be a coalition the american civil liberties union the natural resources council A few others there they're going to be presenting a proposal that they say will Ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes and imagine that means Taxing for wealthy for monitors. Yeah, we have a pretty progressive tax policy here in the state already I'm not sure how many more Of the wealthy there are and how much more we're going to reap from them without them moving. I I think Again, we should be thinking about how do we get our economy rev back up? How do we invest in in the middle income for monitors? To to provide for another middle income that we're we're losing We don't have that many. I don't think we have that many affluent people in vermont But we sure have A number of people on the other end of the scale That needs some help and especially in the rural sections the communities have been left behind And I've talked a lot about this. That's why we focus so heavily on on the other You know, we have three or four counties one in particular, but two three counties that are doing okay They could be doing better, but they're doing okay But the others, you know, the other 10 11 12 counties needs some help And their economic centers are not anywhere near what they used to be And that's why we need to invest in those communities to bring back their economy Which will lift them up and lift the whole state up to be more economically vibrant You mentioned the story of two vermonts, if you will, I guess it's nothing new But what would you like to see in terms of a tax policy for next session? Well, we're going to look at, you know, incentivized building housing. I mean, that's our focus And to do that it has to be Aventages for those who are considering it So tax credits, I think would be on the table And I know the pushback will be well, we're just giving Tax breaks. Well, we're not receiving the tax now because they're not building enough housing So if we can energize the the housing market Provide tax credit, I think we'll benefit as a result on both ends more housing And I think we'll have more income Got a few folks on the phone We'll go to now we'll start with tim vermont business magazine Tim we'll go to tom davis compass vermont Thank you, Jason. Uh, I think this might be for commissioner ferrell, uh, your governor If you go back to the slide that she grew up presented, uh, So if you can be explained to the public who some of them are like me and won't fully understand What the math transfers to I'd like to ask you about the current unit production Um, if you take washington county as an example, and you say the unit deficit is 771 units Is that over a five-year period that washington county built 771 less than they needed to during that period of time So what that indicates is that if you take the average number of units produced in washington county Over the last last five years and then that average annual production um The 771 that's needed Uh would require an increase of 4.7 Compared to that's the multiplier compared to what has been annually produced on average over the past five years So, you know just to use square numbers You know, uh, let's say we had a county and we don't but let's say we had a county who had An average production over the last five years of 100 Well, that would mean that it a 4.7 increase factor would mean they would need to increase by 470 units so That gives you the sense of scale here So that would be 470 units over five here Nope That that annually that's right. That would be compared to their annual production. So that would be uh, think of it as a point in time right now So what county would need to produce 3,624 homes or units per year To to try to ramp up to a stable point, right? I think rather a better way to think of it is that At this point in time This is the number of units that would be needed right now And then that would level us off So we would need to continue producing at a level rate to maintain healthy vacancy rates and to overcome the the Two to three thousand units lost per year statewide due to housing atrophy But this does not contemplate a sort of a forward projection That is rather left to things like the housing needs assessment vhf as projections. This is more of a point in time What's the deficit and how does that compare to what these units have been producing on an annual basis? That makes a lot of sense one more question governor When you look at the leadership in vermont Who? Whether it's groups or individuals organizations who need The most convincing to relax a lot of the regulatory matters that are still slowing the process in vermont so much Is there a short list of those you're comfortable discussing? um Yeah, we just need we just need the buy-in from legislators to do this we need you know 76 of them in the house Another 16 in the senate the main profit when they say they recognize the problem But they didn't do much really to help. That's 100 was a first step in that direction But the resistance, uh, do you have a sense of um, they see if they actually have been out into the into the The rural areas of vermont and see what the actual housing issues are Yeah, I want to be fair about this as well I mean this data that we put together Is really stark and it's something that we just put together And going through the reports have been done over the last a few decades And pulled all this together now So I want to give them the benefit of the doubt because they haven't seen it So maybe when they see what we've we've uncovered They will come to the conclusion they have to to rally and they have to we have to come together in order to To do what's right Thank you very much Lola vt digger No questions for me today. Thank you Ed barber newport daily express Back to the room Political future You give me that some thought I'm not a lot of thought When will you make You're thinking public sometime between now and november When that's November So governor, I do understand The purpose of that the big picture is more housing. I get that I do want to return to my original question And maybe this is more for But it's listening to burlington city council meeting last night was really clear Housing first No idea no even discussion about How can we reduce the number of homeless people? And does the state have any sort of plan for perhaps linking homeless services for working on the root problems That landed people in homelessness Something like that. Yeah, we do and I'll let commissioner winters answer that more directly But that's part of the failure of the hotel motel program Was that they didn't have the service of the wraparound services. We didn't have eyes on them We didn't have helping hands to to lift them out of homelessness So This approach doing things differently so that we can provide those services to to help them Address their needs. I think would reduce homelessness in the future I think it's important to remember that one of the roots here is Having enough housing units And that's where we want to focus right now. We are doing a lot of work To connect people to services mental health services Substance use services Other health care employment training. That's work that happens every day in the agency of human services But we really need to focus on Units for people to move into more stable situations And be able to move on with their lives Is there any sense chris? Saying we're going to help you with housing, but you must not not just we're offering not just we're mentioning But as a requirement for ongoing help you need to work on your substance abuse mental health domestic abuse Uh with work skills Whatever it is Identified as the reason they're there a quick quote of some It really depends on the individual that is how a lot of shelter situations operate With the legislation that was passed for the june 30 cohort Those folks are required to be connected to coordinated entry And work with case workers. So there is some of that in the existing system Thank you Well, what do you expect? I think the last question would be what do you expect that to look like If and when we have these shelters online By april or maybe further out. I mean some some have already criticized the The plan saying that you know 30 or maybe more people living In a room like this. It's not necessarily a therapeutic or an easy scenario or setting to to Get back on your feet and access these services Yeah, again, those are those are contingency plans and we would love to have Uh much less need there by having more housing units They're not having to make those contingency plans by having fewer people in homelessness By having less need for emergency shelters congregate situations are not ideal especially for families and we'll have to explore all all sorts of different options for those shelters Come april first Long before april first Again, calvin. I just wanted To make sure that we point out It isn't lost on us that the families aren't appropriate in some of those settings But there are other ways to deal with that and and I I don't think we put out any plan At this point about what they would look like so you could take a big Area and and you could segment segment some of it off and create two different More private areas within this this shelter So it isn't this mass Auditorium where we have just beds laid out for everyone Individuals might be a different might depends on the person But we want to make sure that we respect the needs of families as well and kids Thank you all very much


News Network, headline news update. Hello everyone, Basel Chapman here. This is the 9 a.m. Tiger Financial News Network update for November the 11th. And thank you to all the vets out there. We're looking at the S&P up 17. That's very interesting. Look, this is the E-mini S&P. Look at this orange line here. This is the 200 period moving average on a 10-minute chart. How important are moving averages?  Look, it was resistance all the way from about 2.30 yesterday afternoon all the way. Every time it kept coming down and ran back up and hit it and then it pulled back and low and bold and pulled all the way back from the 46.70s down to the load this morning of 46.38, not even low 46.28 I think it was. Then it rallies and lo and behold, it has all these different sideways moves but it makes higher highs and higher lows. And then what happens for the past since 5.20 this morning, Eastern time, you're stuck with a 46.61 resistance and the 46.55 support. For all this time, hours, we've been in the sideways range. We're hugging the 200 period exponential moving areas. That's all it's important for is just to tell me to give you another roadside. So if later on in the day, the S&P starts to trade at 4.66, it's at 4.58 right now. That's a positive and that's going to be, and that'll help the Dow, which is only, the future is only up 17. So let's just go through these real quickly in this update before you go to Tommy Jr. for his market, for his early morning, his show. And I'm going to go through here, the Dow, 36,565 pulls back quite sharply. The futures are only up, as I said, 18 points right now. The S&P closed yesterday at 46.46, it made an all-time high of 47.18.54 sessions ago. What are we looking at? We're looking at it up 17 in the futures, up 17, so this is an important session. We're also looking at the QQQ, which had a very sharp pullback from 400.99 all-time high four sessions ago. It's now 392. It's up three from yesterday's low. And what's really important is that gold, that is spectacular move yesterday and it's continuing that up thrust. But so is the dollar and the crude oil, yep, the dollar is up 36.95 and crude oil is in fact pulling back from the high that it made on the 25th at 85.41. Have a wonderful day. Stay tuned for Tommy for his market kickoff show and then my show.


it's Monica I went to very quickly just I'm gonna start all over again I am sick and tired of saying I'm gonna do it very quickly when I never do so hey guys it's Monica thank you so much for joining me today in my video I am going to share with you a couple of my February favorites now I'm not gonna go into any kind of a great detail on my February favorites because I could go hours you know I mean I have favorite makeup I have favorite skin care I have all sorts of different favorites but what I really wanted to do is shed some love onto some products that I have that I really really love that I may not talk a lot about so I'm gonna talk a little bit about jewelry anyways that wasn't what I was gonna talk about but I had many of you have you're aware of the fact that I was sent some really pretty pieces of jewelry from a company called Julia and they have some diamond look they have a lot of really beautiful stones a lot of beautiful necklaces beautiful bracelets they have a ton of different types of jewelry anyways I was fortunate enough to have received two pieces of their jewelry and this one this is their daisy ring if you can see that they were a little daisy this kind of reminds me of spring they were a little little daisies in there the stones are beautiful they're clear they're bright they hold up really well this one is sort of a very close to my wedding band except I think is a more brilliant but very close to my wedding band I wear this one a lot I I particularly love wearing these pieces when I travel now when Jay and I go away like we went to the cave I just put all my good stuff in a safety deposit box at the bank that is the best way so when I travel I try not to go with my any of my good jewelry but this definitely so I hate to even say that it's a February favorite but because I took it with me down to the cave on my birthday weekend and loved loved loved having them I definitely am gonna call this these pieces one of my favorites in February so the other thing that's a favorite and this is actually a birthday gift and I just have to I just have to share this with you this is these are brushes now a lot of you know that I have some Sigma brushes but other than that I don't really have a lot of it or any high-end brushes the Sigma brushes I don't have that many of them but I really was I really enjoyed using them and really enjoyed having them but most of the brushes I have have not been any kind of high-end brush but this was a birthday gift so my birthday was in February as you all know and this was a joint gift from Simply Sheila and Marlene Fab and Glam on YouTube and I tell you I was I was like me on Tickle Pink when I opened the box and got this I was like oh my gosh I just really could not believe they sent this to me so I've never really had the luxury type ooh I've never really had the luxury type brushes but all these are these are beautiful they're they're beautiful I absolutely love them so that has a definitely in February been a unbelievable favorite of mine the other thing is that I have discovered thanks to my close friend Marlene the some of the dupes for some of these beautiful palettes so I just want to tell you is that sometimes you don't have to spend a fortune to get really nice high-end quality now there are all sorts of different palettes you can get at the drugstore some of them are nice I have a whole stack of drugstore palettes some of the colors look spot on they look really beautiful they look like they would just totally work but then I go to apply it and nothing but powder all over my face and I hate that so the sea color this one is the color three obsessed this is a dupe for my Huda palette that I have that I got as a gift last year so not only have a color spot on but the quality is spot on so these apply just like the Huda palette applies the other one that I have from sea color is feverish and this one talk about gorgeous you want to talk about gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous and cheap cheap money unbelievable then I have some from alter ego temptress I've used this a couple of times you know I do like pops of glitter or pops of shimmer or shine or whatever in my eyes so I've used this a couple of times I really really like this I think these palettes I mean the sea color ones I mean I don't think I think the two of them cost $15 unbelievable the price of these particular products they really are amazing and alter ego also has a really nice eye primer eyelid primer so if you like to put on a primer on your lids that's translucent that really works nice I really like this you cannot beat the price so my palettes that I have discovered through my friends here on YouTube really really have ended up being a favorite this month I really like them a lot and I just have used them over and over and over again the other thing that has been a favorite and I know recently I've talked about these but they've actually been a favorite for quite a while and these are the Alta these are the Alta cream eyeshadow and liner pencils or crayons I like to call them and they're made in Germany and Alta I think the black I use the black most every day I just bought a replacement I use the lilac all the time too if you can see it and the plum one I use a lot this one I don't use as much this is the nude one I don't use it quite as much it is very very nice I don't know if you can actually see that or not but these are like just an amazing value so oftentimes Alta if you have an Alta near you they have these buys where you spend $19 or so on Alta Beauty you get a gift and so I like to really stock up on my Alta stuff I have a couple of eyeliners I have a couple of other Alta Beauty brands that I like I've got a couple of their blushes I haven't found any of their blushes that I would rave about that I would call a favorite but I do have a couple of their blushes and I like them the other thing that I've really enjoyed this month I didn't think I would when I first got it I was like bust but Carol from the old Carol show had raved about this this is the one-to-two perfect selfie she raved about this and I was like thinking hmm I don't know you know I don't know but I got it and you know is it really does it close my pores I don't think it really closes my pores but but it kind of you know like when you're doing selfies or you're doing photos you get a lot sometimes you get flashback or not flashback but you get really heavy shine this is I think really pretty for your perfect selfie so every time I do a selfie I can't give myself a little dose of this before I turn the camera on to myself so this has been a favorite thank you Carol from the old Carol show for sharing this I really do like like this a lot one thing that has been a continuous favorite and it just has to I just have to mention this because often when I talk about skincare and makeup and things like that I kind of forget this and that is my collagen so I have been using and you can use whatever collagen supplement you want but I have been using a collagen supplement since 2016 the one I've been using and at the time when I was really following keto this is the only one that was keto approved back in the day it is not full of all sorts of other stuff it's pure collagen joint care they do have you know this is kosher beef but they do have like a marine version of it we take this all the time so day in and day out we take two scoops every day so I take some in the morning sometimes I mess up at night but I make sure I have my two big scoops every single morning I put it in with my coffee or my tea or I don't really like it in water but I'll mix it in with a protein drink and sometimes in the afternoon I mix it in with my protein drink if I'm having that for lunch this is for me I think this has really helped so much on my skin over the time because before I was using this I used to have very very dry elbows I mean to the point where my elbows would catch on my clothing and it was just really hard it was really awful because sometimes my elbows would bleed sometimes it just be really bad so this has the collagen I think and I've told the story often it was sort of like about maybe two months into the college and when all of a sudden I realized holy mackerel I do not have any bleeding dry elbows so I think if you're going to be taking collagen if you're gonna be doing skin care if you're gonna be doing all this stuff you need to think about taking care of you from the inside out I think that's makes a huge difference and I think collagen it's putting a collagen cream on while it might feel nice isn't gonna really in my opinion sink in quickly or at all so this has been a favorite for my body for my hair for my nails for everything and Jay swears by this as well he takes it every single day now I in my last video I talked about retinase and you know CBD so I'm not gonna go there but I will tell you that I have recently been sent as PR this from City Beauty now I use City Beauty their face masks all the time I happen to love their face masks but I'm not gonna talk about the face masks because those I love and have used and I talk about them often but the under eye recovery this this has been absolutely fantastic what you do every morning just drop my little thing every morning what I've done since I got this after I wash and I tone and sometimes you know it's it's even sometimes before I get under my red light therapy which is a my trophy skin the red light therapy that I do every morning is definitely favorite I use that every morning sometimes at night I just just to lie there five minutes under that light letting that all sink in it's awesome so anyways a little dab I know and I really don't want to put it out it's white creamy I don't want to I don't want to waste it and I just dab it under my eyes oh my gosh I love this and then at night I use the advanced eye cream I use this now many of you know that I have for many years used the the timeless eye serum and that has been my eye cream of choice I love the timeless eye serum but this is replacing it for me I like actually like I never thought I would say that I never thought I would say that I actually like this cream better than my timeless I don't know I don't know whether it's working in conjunction together or whatever but these have definitely been a February favorite I'll let you know how I continue on with them but I was thinking a couple of weeks ago my eye cream was getting low I wanted to order some when timeless had the 50% off sale life got busy hectic crazy I forgot all about it I didn't do it so now this has taken its place I really have really have been enjoying that a whole lot and then my other favorites which I look at that which I definitely want to tell you that I have enjoyed is my Serenity bracelets my lean fab and glam's daughter Stephanie does that has created these in memorandum in memory of her brother and these are just so pretty I love wearing them this is it not my this is a different bracelet but I love wearing these Serenity bracelets the beads are really pretty I just absolutely love wearing them so jewelry yeah yeah and the fact that I'm in my bathroom and it's brown season so you know the snow is starting to melt and it's mud out there and it doesn't look pretty out there but the fact that the snow is starting to melt of course it's still early by the time you see this I think it's gonna be next week I'm not sure but by the time you see this we could have a snowstorm I really don't know but I'd like to so I'm so excited that most of the winter is over and I'm looking forward to spring so spring is definitely one of my favorites when it happens I really love spring so that's it hopefully not too long but just wanted to share a couple of these favorites with you and then tell you that the biggest favorite of all is every single one of you out there that watch my videos all the time or watch most of them all the time because I know everyone I know you can't watch every video that every creator puts on all the time just like I can't as much as I want to watch every video that my friends you know put put out there I try really hard but I know that I can't watch every video that every creator publishes so you know it's difficult at times I appreciate that you spend these moments with me on my channel I appreciate that you visit me all the time you thumbs up and that you leave me comments so you guys you guys have all been my favorites not only for February for the year and I know you'll continue to be so anyways that's it for me thank you so much guys bye bye


The House of Representatives Supplementary Election in Pothackert's federal constituent in Rivers State has been characterized by low-volta turnout. The electoral offices arrived early with the materials, but very few persons accosted their vote. In the Pothackert city, Lyoko government area were supplementary elections held in 377 polling units in wards 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. It was observed that there was a low turnout of voters even though the exercise was peaceful. Some of the voters who spoke with newsmen attributed voter apathy to doubt over their transparent conduct of their elections. The election is very, very peaceful, conducted very, very properly. I believe if subsequently in subsequent election we can have such kind of conducive environment for election, people won't be scared and people won't be having this panic of fear when it calls for election because everything is going smoothly as you can see for ourselves. The turnout is not actually like it used to be, since this is supplementary, so many persons are probably indoors and having their good time. But I believe at the end of the day, probably the result will speak for itself. Apathy, the place is calm, peaceful, the people who came out to vote came out and did their voting peacefully. Unlike before, when you come in at this polling unit, like Saint Thomas, I see the crowd. But today there is not much crowd. But in all, we need to cast our votes to where our conscience is highly, where our conscience is highly needed. So that is just that. If only the High Neck would have promised us, they would do what they promised us. But they are not doing it. So they have biased the minds of the people and people are no longer coming out because after they cast your votes, depending on the person you are casting your vote to, at the end they will do different things. So that is the sense of people coming out. There is no need of people coming out again. The experience I had today was good than before. The security here today was okay. I love that, where the security is in this place, everywhere is calm and quiet and people are coming to vote the person they want to vote in. And I like the place so quiet, no fighting, no quarrel. A presiding officer of unit 77, Daniel Sequoye said, voted commenced in his unit by 8.30 a.m. But only few persons had voted due to inadequate sensitization of voters. Compared to this one, the turnout is very, very low. And this from the presidential governorship to this one, you know, the number is going down and down every time. Like compared to the presidential election, the number was higher, governorship, it became low and this one is really lower. That's what I'm trying to say. That's just my view. Or would I equally attribute it to most people who don't know that today's election? Because of the time frame, it was very, very short.


In the words of Margaret Atwood, I believe in the resistance, as I believe there can be no shadow unless there is also light. So people were asking us why we decided to do this event. Well, it's pretty obvious if you look at the news every day. And as with the majority of the United States, our organization, Lickwick, was festering over the recent election, the accusations, the grudges, the exaggerations, the lies. And to be honest, in our last board meeting in December, our fabulous board members said we need to do something and we hardly agreed. And this came together with lightning speed. And so we're so grateful to everybody. But this week, as we know, there's going to be marches and protests in over 600 cities around the country. So we personally at Lickwick have a message for the president-elect. We know that you like to count numbers and crowds. Thank you very much for uniting America. We do feel very united right now. So in times like this, it is the duty of the creative class to stand tall, report, and hold account. We are very proud to present tonight's diverse and eclectic Bay Area literary voices who speak to our nation's fear, anger, and perhaps even optimism. We're hoping there'll be at least an ounce of optimism. Special thanks to all of the authors participating tonight. I did want to let you know the sad news, which is that the storm has forced cancellation of three of our speakers tonight, Ishmael and Tennessee Reed, as well as Faith Adiel. We're sorry about that, but nature intervened. We do want to thank Luis Herrera, the librarian here, fabulous man, as well as Michelle and David and everyone else here from the public library.
