It's a good intro, dancing in the background every single time. I agree. Splot. Splots. Splot. So we had kind of a lot to talk about with splots and site templates, but before we're going to showcase kind of, you know, what our favorite splots are and a little bit about how to make a site template and what you might want to be thinking about. But before we do that, I'm going to put Jim on the spot. What is a splot, even? Put Jim on the spot, more like, smallest possible learning online tool. I don't know. I think the origins of the splot are shady. Brian Lamb and Al Levine and Thompson River University came up with the idea that WordPress was, you know, as great as tool as it is. It's a bit of a blank, it's a bit of a tablerasa.  And they were thinking, is there a way that they could customize a WordPress install that would make what you need to do or how you need to use it like a portfolio or a resource sharing tool or something like that easier and kind of build out part of that tool in WordPress to create essentially a template. And so splots are templates that reclaim hosting provide some. There's more than that we don't provide a one-click installer for, but we provide several that give folks a quick and easy way to get up and running with a kind of, we'll call it like a custom app built on WordPress. That's one way to think about it. App might be a strong word. It might be doing a lot of work in that sense. That's kind of how I think about it. Did that, you know, scale of one to 10, how was that answer? You can only really say 10 or 11, so. Yeah. I would say 12. We turned it up. Whoa! Yeah! That explanation went up to 11, yeah, so, cool. So we're going to kind of talk about some of, we're going to show a case, some of the splots that exist and how to use them. And before we even do that, I wanted to mention the splot.ca site where you can learn all kinds of things about splots and see, in fact, my favorite thing about this is it's a splot about splots, actually. This is, I believe, true box or a splot box, I mean. And so this one is one itself. But basically the splot box is just a really quick and easy site to showcase media and collections of links and things like that. But you can find out about all the different splots that exist from there. So that's also in Discord, I'll just put it in there and in our little session description. So before we dig into any individual one, or sorry, before... One more thing there, Taylor, just before we move on from the splots is I also think it's a testament to some good ed tech. Like Al Levine and Brian Lamb coming up with, you know, building on top of WordPress and open source tool and making it more accessible for their community and for people to use it and to build a kind of small, like I like that it's intentionally small, right? It's not trying to be a big, scalable, all-encompassing tool. It's a very focused tool. And I think it reflects part of what we can do as ed techs at our local campuses and beyond is, you know, really customize this experience for the people on the ground at that school. And I love that. Like, it's the opposite of scaling big and massive.  So which one do you want to look at first? Jim, do you have a favorite you want to showcase? I do. And I'm going to go full screen here because I'm going to share it in my screen. One of the things people don't know about me, but I have a superpower. I'm like Ant-Man. And so I can kind of just... Like that. Isn't that crazy? It's very funny. I'm underestimated. Okay. Yes. I'm at the SPLOT CA tool site just like Taylor was. And my favorite SPLOT is a SPLOT called True Collector. True is referencing Thompson River University because that's where it was created. But the thing about True Collector that I really like is... And this is the thing about SPLOT in general. Not only was it a quick and easy tool, but one of the hurdles they wanted to solve was allowing people to submit resources easily without ever logging into WordPress. So basically you could go here and this is the Avalte. This is a collection of open source tools that this conference was highlighting for its folks and asking people to kind of submit. So they're like, hey, you have an example of a good open source tool at it. And you didn't have to log into WordPress. You didn't have to actually get a username. You didn't even have to identify yourself and give away that identity. All you had to do was go in here and fill out a gravity-based like form. And all of this information and it could be anonymous is added to the site. It's vetted and you get a draft. But the idea is faculty could have students use this as a tool to submit resources for the class where they could collect and actually create in some ways a database that highlights images, highlights data, other things like that. So for me, the True Collector is a great tool. It's very simple. I use it personally to collect my radio shows when I do vinyl on the radio or something like that. And I don't need to do this. I could do it on my blog, but I like the way it looks. I like the idea of quickly and easily adding examples and focus that. And I think it's a tool that what I like about it is it's kind of a protean. It could be used for various things in different ways, whether it's image collections, whether it's collections of cell types, whether it's collections. I know there was another example at Coventry University where they used it as a kind of dictionary to collect words for people who were learning the English language and used images to demonstrate that word. And it was pretty cool. It was kind of like a broad dictionary, almost like the container, what do we call it, lexicon. What do we call that container thing that you built? The Docker glossary? The glossary. Could I forget? Yes! But I like the flexibility of it as well. I think one of my favorite things I've seen a couple conferences do. I can't remember what popped my head. I want to say an OER conference or two has done it, but used it as the true collector as a space for folks to introduce themselves. They basically set up a true collector and it had a little bit of like prompt in it. So it would say like, maybe you want to tell people about this or that. But basically you'd upload a picture and put your name in and your like little description of who you are and post it. You didn't need an account. You could just post things to it. That was super cool. And you had your image there. Yeah. And it was a virtual conference. So it was kind of a way to get to know the other attendees right from kind of friendly space. And you're right. And kudos to Coventry because Coventry was also was behind not only the Abilte site and that example I talked about with language learning kind of dictionary slash glossary, but also they were behind the OER. I think it was 18 example where attendees would introduce themselves there. And then you have a list of attendees using TrueCollector. So yeah, they have a lot of good examples. There's a lot of permutations of that example too. So there's TrueCollector and we're going to talk about some of the other Splats that are a little bit different than in function than TrueCollector. But Splatbox already mentioned is similar in idea in terms of collecting media, making it accountless to posts basically. TrueSoundr is kind of like that and TrueWriter are all kind of like that with different layouts optimized for different media basically is how I kind of think of them. I've even seen the TrueWriter, I wish I would have pulled this up, but there was there's all kinds of really interesting uses of people opening sites for anonymous writing using TrueWriter, which is really cool. And a lot of people have done journals with TrueWriter, like full blown like class journals where you have like a publication that a class did together using TrueWriter, which is pretty elegant. I had a co-worker who at S&C when I worked there who helped a music professor use TrueWriter to have a online public journal for your practice. So basically they're a trumpet professor and they had their students post there and of course everyone could see what they're working on, which is really kind of interesting. And kind of it was like semi-private, but love the use cases that kind of thing enables because they they're like I want someone to log in this specific way, but I don't want them that they don't need like this doesn't we're not concerned about spam here. It just gets right to the use case, which is always really cool. Cool. Pyle, I think you had one you wanted to share, right? I did. I actually this one is available as a TrueWriter, TrueCollector I think also are, but it was available as a custom install in C-Panel. It's called, I wanted to talk about dimension, the name is sort of getting, but the dimension is calling card, which is a again wordpress-based slot that functionally what it serves as is a I guess micro site is sort of how I think of it. The idea of it being a calling card is you can really quickly put it together, have a couple of photos, a couple of very small pages, a couple of links that just talk about who you are and what you're doing, but you don't have to get into the weeds of customizing your wordpress design, making it look super polished, navigating all of that. It's comes with those sort of preset and pre-designed, so it looks really clean. And Taylor, if you're cool with just walking through installing this application, that'd be awesome. Yeah, we can just do it on my default domain, HTTPS, of course, it is just going back through, we sleeve all the default settings, it's fine. Yeah, I'm going to set a password. I don't believe that for the Splots, the WP admin works. Maybe it does, but maybe. And we forgot to actually mention here that if you go in C-Panel to all applications, many of the Splots, not all of them, but pretty much all the ones we've talked about so far, are actually available as installers ready to go. And we and Ellen maintain these so that they're really simple to get set up with. I will talk about one later that doesn't have an installer, but you can kind of see how that would work and how you install it. And I also specifically called out the Dimensions one, Dimensions calling card, but there are, you were mousing them over times. Just in the applications list, there are a couple of other calling cards that are running on the same principle. It just doesn't like the even open C-Panel a bunch of different places, but that big picture, those highlights, those are built on the same principles as the Dimension calling card. So if you can go back to that tab right there, that one. So you can see it's pre-populated with just a little bit of text, links about skills. The idea being, you could use this as a very small resume, personal site, people go and they find out a couple things about you. And it's very simple, easy. I am not actually a professional cowboy, but I do appreciate the theme. I think that's fun. And Taylor, if you can maybe log in and take us to the back end, but the idea being there's links to all your social media where you can get contacted about, but you don't have to put lots of effort into building out posts, building out huge chunks of content, which sometimes that's what you feel like with WordPress. And so these are a couple of different, these are all of the different, if you make that a little bit bigger, we can see it. But the idea is these are the titles for each of those for links that you saw. So about cowboy or about writing skills and contact are each of those. And you can say which one is which. So this is a list of all of the writing that I, a professional cowboy have absolutely done. And you can sort of go through that, you can go into the Customize, we don't need to save this, but go to the Customize menu and just change things up a little bit. The text, the social media. And it's really very simple to get started. And it takes the pressure off of feeling like, gosh, I got to build all these pages, I got to make all these posts, I got to be WordPress has so many features, I feel like I'm not using them. No, I have four links, four pages links to my social media. That's it. That's all you need, at least to get started. And I was just going to say, and a good way for people who are new, but maybe a little overwhelmed to get familiar with the WordPress backend and what that looks like, because backend is still the WordPress backend, just a bit stripped down. I was just going to say, Piley, it also looks very familiar this. Have we seen it before? You know, maybe, maybe so. Dominated one zone admins, you may recognize this as the slot that we use to build out the admin sort of resource page. There's for every Dominated One Zone school, we have a, let me pull up the state you.org one and put it in the DOO admin, I'll pull it up and I'll put it in the chat. But the idea is that it's got links to the WordPress, to the WHMCS, to the WHM documentation, all of that, so that you can very easily, is it not showing up? Yeah, something's up with it with my browser at the very least, I'm going to pull it back. It's loading for me, but I've dropped it in the chat anyway, so you can navigate to it, oh, saw a little blink of it. Yeah, not quite sure what's up with my browser, but I'll pull the different one here. There's six links, WordPress, WHM, WHM, CS, documentation, links to the community forums, and a place where you can go to see how your server is doing. Yeah, so that's the one for Rochester.  I like it, I think it's very clean and easy. It's clean and elegant, and I think it's a really nice kind of parallel to, like you said, a student faculty, staff getting up and running with a portfolio site, or like a splash page for their web presence, quickly and easily, and swapping out a couple of images, because it's a black and white combo. It's pretty simple, and I think that was the logic behind Splots, what you really described brilliantly was what they were trying to do, give people an on-ramp to the web. Well, and not only is it simple to start with, but you actually have a lot of headroom to grow with it too, so it is what I like, because it is WordPress.  You've already dealt with WordPress a lot. In a lot of cases, you'll be able to actually continue right inside of this plot without having to do much else. There's a lot of options to go from there. In contrast to something like, this isn't even popular anymore, but remember the about.me sites that people claim? Those were very simple of just like, all right, you can get your name, you can put a couple links on it, and that's it. If you want more than that, you're going to have another site. So I like that people can kind of, this can grow with them, with their needs. I was going to say if you are familiar, you may not be with card, which is card, but spelled with two Rs. It is exactly the same principle, but you can't scale it and it's free meal. So if you want a custom domain, you have to pay. Otherwise, you have to get a sub domain off of card. If you want to get rid of the card branding, you have to pay. It's just a plot, but freemium and you can't scale it. And so it's the same concept, but better, I think. You know what? And this is, if we were getting, it might go a little far afield, and I want to be mindful because I want Amanda and Taylor to still be sharing this, but one of the things that's interesting is CUNY, the City University of New York, did an example of CUNY.is slash and then the person's name. And they did like exactly like template sites where you could make a quick and easy website for who you are. And it kind of plays on the whole idea of it was OER 20 that did that, like who is who, who's who. And like, I love that idea of using a plot like thing for a community to introduce themselves and have what would be the old school HTML webpage that, you know, people would claim and share. And it's a cool community that CUNY.is and that reminds me of what we're talking about. So anyway, back to you. Yeah. I just wanted to pull up an example of that. I threw it in Discord too, but here's one of those. And it really just, at least this particular one, re-do X to a spot in their comments. So it's really, really kind of cool. I love that. That's cool. Yeah. Okay. I'll show a plot point really quick. I'm not going to do a ton with it other than just kind of show what it is. But a plot point, and I'm going to mostly make the case for web-native presentations because I think web-native slides are great, personally. So I use these, I use slides on, I use websites as slide presentations pretty much every time I do slides anymore. Just because the first thing people always ask is, can you send these to me? And my favorite thing is to just be presenting them in a web browser. And I'm like, you can just go to the link right there right now, right now. It's fine. So that's the main thing that I like about plot point is that I think it is a really good way to do this. So plot point is a plot that is just a WordPress site dressed up to be slides. I have an example of it on my own site here. It's a little older. And frankly, I'm not 100% sure about all of the accuracy of the content. It's been a bit since I revisited this. But the, I had one about SEO and some, basically, I gave this for a class that was interested in talking about SEO. And I was talking about in the context of like personal websites or like very, very small websites. So the cool thing is you get this WordPress site that you can make different slides, you can order them, and then you can use your arrow keys to navigate between them. They have a title and a subtitle and then a image and it can be GIF in the background. And then what I like about them is that you can also put content below them. So I tended to use them and navigate them like slides and then I would have notes and additional materials below the slides that you can find through, you can go through. And so I really like this layout. It's nice because you can use the WordPress editor to write your slides. And I really like that actually. And you can do all kinds of things. I have another example here. I think, you know what, I might have moved that one. Hold on. Yeah. That was a spot point that I really like because I could embed YouTube videos right in it and many multiple in certain cases. So I really like spot point for that and the speed of which I can create these I think is really cool. And then what you end up doing is building a resource that isn't just slides. It's now a website proper, right? So you can link to it and reuse that.  So that's spot point. This one does not have an installer on built in.  And it's basically just a theme you have to install. So if you go in here, they have a instruction on, hey, you upload the zip file to WP content themes. And then you can set your theme in WordPress to that. And that you're ready to go. Basically, they do have, there is further instructions here. And if you want to keep it like up to date all the time, or you can manually update it as needed and how to use it and everything, it's great. I'm a big fan of spot point. So Amanda, I think you had something you wanted to show too. Yeah. What I wanted to kind of bring to the conversation was a little bit less robust than some of these slots, but rather going toward more site templating. But it definitely, you know, it aligns itself with this kind of idea where that kind of blank page syndrome is very real with WordPress. And so starting from scratch can be intimidating. And even if you don't find a slot that you're like, guess this is the one, or you don't need everything that is built into a spot, you can very easily just kind of throw something up and make it a template.  And then instead of doing a blank WordPress, they just download this template. And it is this portfolio template. I got the colors really weird, I guess, when I changed that they disappear when you hover over them. But so what this does is, you know, I put up some menu options to get them started. I, you know, set it so that it doesn't have that WordPress automatic blog, you know, real feature, but instead it's a static page. So these kinds of small steps you can take for students to get them started. And so if I created this and I said, oh, yeah, this is just something that will get them started. I want to make this a template that is available outside of my account. We can kind of walk you through how to do that. So right now Taylor is in, was in my cPanel just kind of showing you what that looked like from there. And if we wanted to make it accessible across the server, then we would move into the WHM for State University, which is where we are now. And so the best way to find this would be to start typing in Installatron in the search bar there and go to Installatron applications installer. And then from here, you can go to my applications exactly. And then if you know the name of your template, which you should mine is Amanda's template. But you can name that, you know, whatever you'd like. And the way to make it a template is to click on that little star button. Yeah, a couple of things that I wanted to mention too, is when you make the template, you know, think carefully about what's, it's going to be kind of a copy of the site. So the way it looks in the cPanel with its name and everything like that will be the case when they install it. So if you've got, you know, I don't know, like you may want to name it like my portfolio template depending or a podcasting template or something like that. And that this title in description is what they'll see when they're going to install it. So they're technically separate titles in descriptions, but they are both important. So when you're, when you're doing your own templating. Absolutely. So yep, we can just fill that out portfolio template is a lot even more descriptive than what I had. Just a brief description. And then you can make that official. This takes a second, but not too long. Right. And so this is going to make it something that is going to be available for you to then make available. Lauren also just posted something important in the chat, which was recommending that there be a dedicated cPanel for template design. That way, if you end up wanting to clear off cPanel accounts, the way that Taylor and I were discussing earlier, you know, to say, Oh, no, no, no, not that one. We need that. Yeah. It makes it certainly easier to keep them updated over time, because that way you can return to that cPanel and just template the original one again to update it. Whereas otherwise, your process has to be, all right, we've got to install the template someplace, make our updates, and then template that one, which is kind of annoying and obtuse, especially if there's something potential.  So if your template is somehow broken, and you can't deploy it at all, then that's going to be a problem, right? And that could happen if it's a very old template, maybe that's on a very old version of WordPress. Because it is important to note that templates do not automatically sync. So if Amanda now goes in and edits, a management.state.org, if I had installed this on my account, my version would never update to match the new template. Or rather, if now that it is templated, if Amanda goes back in and edits, and then I install, my installation will look like the original version that was templated and not the newly updated one with the new edits. Well, if you install that afterwards, it would, right? But not pre-existing sites, right? It won't modify old sites. Exactly. And one of the things, too, it's not just WordPress. You can do this with Omega, Scaler, and others. And Omega might be a useful one because they still have, like, you have to manually FTP or upload plugins. So the way it looks, if we can go to, if this template is in, let's go to an instance of cPanel and install Atron, and actually look at what it looks like. Because you can go to WordPress to install, and then there'll be an option with a radio button underneath that says, Amanda's template, right? So you have WordPress, the kind of, we'll call it the vanilla WordPress install, or a custom template, which is kind of like a splot, but a little bit more DIY, and not, as Pilot said, going to take in transfer updates that you make post installation. But the thing that's nice when I think of other applications, even beyond WordPress, is for folks who are unfamiliar with Omega, and you want a very focused project for students who may be building an exhibit or something like that, all of those plugins and things that you want them to use would be there and ready to go. And you can see it there. There's an example underneath where it says, content of the four different templates that are available on state U. So the nice thing is, if you're managing a Domain of One's own server for your community, you can make a few templates that are useful for, say, a class that you know they want to have portfolios, and you want to make it easier on them, and they have a very specific idea of what that faculty or staff want. You can do that seamlessly, just like Amanda showed. Click the star and you're done, which is a beautiful and simple way at it through Installatron. So it's like you're making a splot without all the overhead of having to maintain it over time. Yeah, it's super nice that you get that benefit of picking like plugins or content or whatever, all that stuff without having to worry about the WordPress part of it, right? Because you don't have to say, oh, we got to update our template because WordPress 6 is out. It's like, no, actually Installatron separates that out for you in a way that you don't have to worry about it, which is super nice because the updates are handled. It's really handy. I remember when I think it was a WordPress 2020 theme, there was a WordPress theme that came out that when the first time you go to the customizer, it would just like put a bunch of demo content on your WordPress site. Yeah, I as an admin, that made me live it because it just totally broke. I think the way I and most of my students would show WordPress to people. So I actually, we made our own starter template that really had nothing in it. It was just a default one, but we had already clicked the customize button, had it already spit out all of its garbage, and then we already deleted all of it. It wasn't a big deal. It just offended me. So I wanted to save that. And I believe if you go back into the WHM template, overall template manager, yeah, so one thing I want to mention is the default. Yeah, when you've made templates, you can manage them from Installatron. So if you go to Installatron applications installer from WHM and go to templates, this is your list of all your templates. And this one here is the default one that people will get when they're installing WordPress. So that's empty content. I made one that was, I don't remember what we called it, but it was, you know, it was like good empty content or something like that sarcastically. Luckily I didn't have to keep it that long because they kind of changed that behavior, which is good. But yeah, you can technically set a different default if you want. I would think real carefully about that. I wouldn't do that lightly. But it is an option. You can also disable templates from here. So if you don't want one to show up anymore, but you don't want to delete it yet, say maybe you have our Domain's Community Site template, you've deployed it already, but you don't want just anyone to be able to deploy it for whatever reason. You could just turn that off so it's not available for the time being. So all good options. Yeah, so we are looking at about 10 minutes to our next session. So I think we're just about ready to wrap up here. But is there anything else you all want to talk about with Splots? I think we've covered everything. I'm sure we could go on and on, but it's true. I might as well cut it off now. Yeah, for sure. Splots are fantastic. I'm a big fan as well. Yeah, so we'll see everyone for the last session of the day. That's Jim and I with Beyond Domain's No Lampshade is the subtitle to that one. And we'll talk about all kinds of other things you can do with Domain's that you may not have thought of. So see you all in about 10 minutes.


56-year-old Monroe Jackson appeared in Pike County District Court Friday following his arrest from a shooting that occurred September 26th. Jackson was charged with murder following the shooting death of Ryan Hurst. One of the callers actually stated that Monroe shot Ryan Hurst. So the first troopers to respond upon their arrival, they located Monroe Jackson, walking out of his residence, holding the firearm. At that time they detained Mr. Jackson and took possession of the firearm. After our arrival, I spoke with several neighbors and witnesses that were on scene. None of them actually saw Monroe shoot Ryan, but they stated they did hear the shots, following the shots they saw Ryan Hurst running from Monroe's house. At Pikeville Medical Center our vision of creating a heart and vascular institute that will reliable any other in Kentucky is a reality. We've assembled a top team of more than 30 multidisciplinary providers. Together those highly experienced providers perform many of the most advanced cardiac procedures available anywhere. We have armed them with cutting-edge technology and resources needed to provide comprehensive heart care close to home. Pikeville Medical Center, when it comes to your heart, place your care in our hands. Ryan Hurst of Flatwoods was shot once in the upper chest and was unarmed. He was declared dead at the scene. According to witness statements, Hurst was at Jackson's residence for a part. One of the witnesses went to Monroe's house in hopes to get a part for a truck. He also didn't witness the shooting but he stated he did hear the shot and he also saw Ryan leave Monroe's residence and according to him following the shot he heard he saw Monroe holding the firearm and he heard Monroe make a statement that he shot that thief. Based on Detective Stiltner's testimony, District Judge Tommy May ruled there was probable cause to turn Jackson's case over to a Pike County grand jury which will have 60 days to return an indictment. For Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.

Hello friends and welcome back to another Pokemon VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode We're gonna be featuring a team that is probably well over due here on the channel And that is gonna be all based around Porygon Z the powerhouse that has been introduced with the Isle of Armor with that adaptability ability It's just insanely strong and normally carrying things like hyper beam dark pulse Thunderbolt nasty plot Even is an option on there. You've commonly seen it with redirect and more commonly with the club fairy here So that's what the team is based around. We've got some interesting picks in around it We've got the mind shower a really nice pick with coaching so we can boost the attack power even further on that Porygon Z if we get into selves get ourselves into favorable positions here Then supporting with the Rilla boom the assault vest there the obviously the club fairy We've already mentioned and then the magna zone with the expert belt and talent flame tagged on the end to give us that Kind of speed control that we're really needing in this team. Otherwise, we'd be missing So you might think on face value that trick room is gonna be a bit of an issue for this team And it definitely is but we do have taunt on mind shower to help us kind of get around that and then the redirection And hopefully magna zone Which is one of the slow members of the team will help us get around any trick room issues So there will be a rental code a team at the end of the episode so do stick around for that There'll be a poker paste down in the description below and without further ado. Let's get into this one today We've got Patrick up as our first opponent and they are playing a team of Rilla boom talk of kiss all canine Melotic Tyranitar and cinderace So there's a few things on Patrick's team that definitely stand out to us has been super Threatening it's a poor gone Z definitely the cinderace. It has access to The high jump kick and the max knuckle So it's definitely options that the PZ doesn't want to have to contend with and then you've got the redirection there with the Togekiss and other than that though, I mean the Tyranitar as well is a bit scary, but it's not The worst thing to see now. I think we can probably go safely Talon flame and poor gone Z now that like to deny us as be control They're gonna have to lead really boom and I think We probably won't Yeah, on Rilla boom, I think in mind shall I think oh do we want Clefairy a mind shall is Incredibly good against well pretty much just the Tyranitar whereas Clefairy offers friend god support redirection for the whole Team, so I think that's what we'll go The arcanae is gonna be a bit tricky to take down For sure, so we're gonna have to rely heavily on PZ to deal with that arcanae So let's see what we can do here And I definitely miss not having a water type in the team I think there's like the the issue with mind shall you would normally go for The kind of pick that you would be like really first going to is Urshifu the surgeon strikes form Because then it gives you the water type and the fighting and but I really wanted to play The coaching mind shell in this team. So that was the big reason why we haven't got Urshifu Okay, so we do see Rilla boom And it's gonna get its grassy terrain up And there is Molotic as well. So I think turn one I mean, we just I the problem is max striking here is we're gonna proc um we're gonna proc the Comparative ability on melodic now we could switch into Clefairy here Or might actually I'm kind of tempted to switch into to Rilla boom honestly and just protect Oregon Z here And just keep our town playing for the late game I think that might be a better decision right now. I am Because I'm not really too sure what this melodic is going to be going for and I'm not like I would imagine the Rilla boom going fake out here and Something is maxing. So it looks like it's going to be it's going to be the melodic Okay This isn't the worst thing in the world because then the next turn at least we can double that melodic Put a lot of pressure on to it and whether my opponent wants to Stay in or Um Max guard is another thing. So that's I think the next decision that we have to make is what my opponent does Um, this next turn we do see the fake out Which he goes into that talent flame slot and the geyser which will be into that Rilla boom, I think They're leaving that alone so we could have potentially attacked with PZ here and Got our max lightning up which would have been very helpful um But the melodic's got to feel very very threatened right now Very threatened because I think what we can do is just wood hammer and go max strike And we've got to hope that the uh, the Rilla boom doesn't have an I don't think a wood hammer is going to take down a pz Even in grassy terrain Uh, I think our Rilla boom should outspeed their melodic The only thing that would worry me here is if we see A max guard on the melodic And that puts us in a little bit more of a tricky spot and we're wasting a turn of our max move with pz And that's not really what you want to be doing Whereas if we target it into the Rilla booms slot Which is now the arc line you could probably pick up a knock out there and then start the snowball rolling it's just making that call low because Um, if if we don't target the melodic here and it doesn't max guard and it does attack You know, it's it's tough. It's tough making these decisions sometimes See and there's a max guard Okay, okay, that's that's it's still kind of all right. It's not ideal at all because um I mean the problem that what we could potentially do is actually just wood hammer here wood hammer the melodic And max guard with pz. We're not getting any any value out of pz here But I like we don't want to just be like mindlessly throwing it away just throwing attacks out We had an opportunity where we could have got the arcane definitely on the switching And you would imagine here it's probably gonna go snuff um Like ideally I would like to see Oh, it goes Wow, okay. Wow. Wow. It goes willow is Oh my god, I just saw bad Like that couldn't have went anywhere from my opponent to get a great wood hammer into the melodic The willow is misses that really boom that's nuts Uh and really boom pretty much nearly gone now. Uh, we've got one turn of our max left Which is not ideal. This is not really how you want to be playing pz. You want to be kind of just Constantly shucking out attacks picking up knockouts picking up knockouts. That's what you want to be doing with it. Um, okay So I think at this point we'll switch in Clefairy and what's What am I more worried about? I think because we've got um talent flame in the back I'm not too worried about the opposing really boom So I'm going to go after the arcane now wouldn't surprise me if we do see a snarl here from the arcane It is one of those pokemon that can out speed for your guns So, um, if it goes for that then yeah, because it would make sense now to probably bake out our Really boom and then go for potentially a snarl, but actually the outspeed the arcane isn't bulky though. It doesn't take this Wow, okay. I didn't expect us to outspeed the arcane I think if you're running the arcane, I think you need to hit this like you max it So it is like making use of that base speed that it's got, you know base 95 So there is a wood hammer because of the friend god, we do actually take that. We know we outspeed the rillaboom Which is great for our next turn Um, now we get soul lucky in this game. I think like the rng is really really kind of not went In any other direction other than ours in this match But it's not over yet. We've got rillaboom. We've got Cinderace coming in now and I think the problem with Cinderace coming in is um, It does outspeed us so it could go for a bounce here to avoid an attack and I think We just follow me and go for a hyper beam into the Borethmic or however it is Renounced wherever that is from. I should know I should know but the rillaboom Um, and we should be able to take the rillaboom down without hyper beam and then we'll just pull the attacks in I just don't want to attack into Cinderace here and then Kind of be Locked out on the field not able to move this next turn We could definitely just see a double up into Clefairy where we see grass glide and maybe an iron head just to get rid of it Uh, that's definitely an option But I think the Clefairy support here is is the the warm thing that we definitely need To allow pz to kind of clean up from the point that we're at So we do actually see a high jump kick. They're targeting down that pz hard I'm going to go into Clefairy though. So I've got to be able to take that It's not a very effective attack there and pz should now Be able to take down this rillaboom do connect no grass glide coming up from the rillaboom and let's see I don't think it's going to be over there. No way. No way not even with an assault vest Just hard I don't think anywhere that you probably can but the calc is going to be nuts what you have to do so I think right now We just um Protect Clefairy let pz go down I mean, we don't necessarily need to we could just follow me again Um, and that's probably the smarter thing and then use pz one more time to take down the cinderace because if Clefairy goes on here Then we've got talent for him to bring in the back Uh, that will just allow us to set the tail wind up and then get that final hyper beam off if we need to Um, we may see the steel type come out here Okay, pyrobalt coming out Which just makes it easier because if if Clefairy goes down here, then yeah, that's we've just got the hyper beam to go into it next to Clefairy actually taking that pretty comfortably. Um And now I would imagine we'll see This steel type Well, maybe not maybe they don't have the steel typing because if they did I I would imagine that's what you would have Went for to get rid of the Clefairy like you would and especially with the life of like an iron head Is definitely going to be more than enough to take it down But like I say, we weren't in the worst of spots where we Had the talent flame in the back to come in and kind of rescue us if the Clefairy does go down So we've gone for that final follow me Another pyrobalt coming out. It will be enough to pick up the Clefairy here and Then pz is going to be able to pick up the knockout on Tuesday in the race So pz is actually even though we didn't make the most of our turns through those max turns when you're going to max We have actually put in a lot of work after that. I like us there. We did get lucky. I'm not going to deny that We've got very lucky missing that well always and the wood hammer into the melotic um even though we were kind of Were we doubling in that turn and no, I don't think we were I think we max guarded didn't we max guarded and went wood hammer Yeah, okay. Yeah, I think it would we would have been able to close it out It would have just been a lot more difficult to close out from the point that we were at Because we wouldn't have picked up the knockout onto the melotic So, um, we do get the win good game to my opponent and we will continue on Okay, so we've got our next opponent and they are playing a team of but free lipoard hatterin Lessy Oh joy Shuckle and the dust globs I didn't I didn't ever want to have to put one of these episodes up On the channel Why? Okay, well What we looking at here got the butter free. It's got redirection. It's got sleep powder. It is a big threat to our team for sure It's probably got the sash there. We've got lipoard. It's got a fast faker faster than a mind shower by one speed stat I think one point then you got hatterin, which is your trick room set up a potential g max pokemon Um, blessie, which is going to be all about minimizing and then doing this the power swap with This shuckle to switch defenses or guard swap, whichever it is And then you got dust globs the secondary trick room center. So we like there's a heavy reliance on us Being able to stop the trick room and that's going to be very difficult with that lipoard out on the field Now I think one thing we could potentially do is go club fairy pz It gives us redirection, which helps us a bunch against this sort of team Um, it doesn't help us stop the trick room But it does give us a lot of options to stop like the copycat and things like that So I think what we've got to do is play around this. I mean really boom and let's go magna zone And lock in because like I'm going to run out of time otherwise and we don't want to be leading with PZ and mind shout here even though mind shout does have the the taunt It's not going to be doing too much that side of that and I think the club fairy pz Give us a lot of options here, especially with the help in hand We can nuke things like the dust globs if you see that come out Like I say we can And with really boom at least we've got a way to stop the psychic terrain Do you see that? Okay, so we are looking at hatterine and dust globs. What are we going to do here? Um, I think we have to nuke the dust globs to be honest I think we have to go help in hand max and go max darkness into that dust globs and just get rid of it We might see double trick room, but it's more likely we see protect on the hatterine You know that the dust globs doesn't have access to protect which may indicate it might switch out But if it doesn't then we can get max darkness into it We can help and have you get rid of it and hopefully see the hat And stuff like that that would be best case scenario for us right now literally best case Because then the next turn we can go full max strike into the hat and kind of pick pick each thing off one by one. Okay We're gonna see protect Little protect coming out so we do get max darkness.  That's the one thing you didn't want to see but It's here and there's nothing we can do about we can just play around it the best we can I mean, we'd still have clefairy. So not all is not lost at the minute. We might see Okay, bless it coming in And it begins and it begins um, okay Well, I think we follow me and then We just go max strike into hat Because hat's going to be the thing that that max is it is minus one. So I think we do get it. Um And the bless is probably going to go from minimize I think so here we go Much rather see max bless you to be honest, but it's not going to happen Okay, so there's a D max smite we've got to get through this The confusion if we can get through the confusion I think we we will have a chance But if we don't then it's going to be very very difficult G max might come on peasy prove that you're not confused. So Do it for the team do for the squad we need to do this right now. Come on come on See blessy Gonna go for that. Oh substitute. Huh? Okay. So substitute seismic toast soft boiled Come on peasy Come on I've never been so happy to hit an attack on peasy.  Is that sash? Oh come on okay, um This makes it very tricky now because We've got to get through two turns Well, I think we'll go for the same again um We might be better going full max dogmas this time into the hat They're definitely relying on us. Uh, come on Clefairy pull through Good good Clefairy For the best you're the best The best I'm so over the top right now It's just like I feel a bit overwhelmed.  They haven't got the psychic terrain up So we're fine. They haven't got psychic terrain in the back. So again, we're fine. Um, maybe it's best now to Potentially switch out into magna zone Do a body press with magna zone um And it just gets away from like not great I mean we could stay in and just dog post, but I don't think we actually break The sub with magna zone uh on that on that blessy so It's not great and the grind is gonna begin. Do we see a max god from the the hat potentially? Yeah, I mean we've got grassy glide the next thing. So we're not in the worst trouble And another minimizer to imagine Yep, just making sure you're getting those minimizers right up and then you know what the last pokemon is going to be that comes in it's going to be shuffle um But this might work out all right for us because if the trick room ends this next turn then It does mean they're going to find it difficult to go physical if we can just get rid of the shuffle Um, and that's that's the big thing for us. I think But let's see Yeah, and that's perfect because they've just protected they can't do anything and I think we just double in Uh, do we go body press just because it'll redirect? Yeah, I think we yeah, we just do that and then if the shuffle does come in at least we're getting double damage onto it the grassy glide in the body press although it would be better to probably Uh flash cannon if you're thinking of that I just want the body press into that blessy because this will break the sub Okay, there's a final minimized come on magnazone. You can do this. You can hit it It's like the one on the left the third one far left It's it's it come on Good good magnazone now break that sub perfect, right Now it's going to be shuffle coming in. I don't think shuffle takes a wood hammer and a flash cannon. No way. No way It's going to have to be chuckle though, and then it just leaves us to deal with this pink blob Doom there we are there you are little chuckle love chuckle. It's such a good poke one I need to get rid of it. We need to we need to drop the nukes on it right now Flash cannon wood hammer done I think we like it's worked out all right by the timing of the trick room, um, which makes it a little bit easier, but Oh man, I just don't I just don't want a 40 minute episode. We just need to remove this thing Oh, I don't know if it's going to be enough. It's a fat. It's a fat chuckle Come on, please magnazone it anyone could do it okay We're about one step in on a about six step process.  Come on Please magnazone Come on. It's got sarin grace.  Well, we got to knock off And uh, I just got a body press. Hopefully you waste some time going for substitutes and we throw out miss Frozen Okay friends So I am just literally speeding up these terms because this match ends up going on for quite a while As you can imagine against the blessy there is quite a lot to handle And I kind of decide to try and take this to time Because I feel like at the moment with the minimizes setup It's our only way to really get through this game So it really comes down to can we stall out enough? So it really is about keeping the Rilla boom around Making sure it's this on the field to keep getting that grassy terrain up So we can recover a little bit of health because it doesn't matter too much If our opponent is healing health it just matters about the number of pokemon we have At the end of the turn unfortunately Rilla boom gets paralyzed by the try attack from Blessy and I still literally cannot believe the amount of damage that the try attack is doing this blessy is literally On steroids. It's insane. It's hitting super hard We do manage to obviously throw out with our magnazone which does help But we are just not hitting any attacks and we can't manage to maneuver a board position around where Rilla boom is able to go out PZ go down and then Rilla boom come in with the grassy terrain again And I think that just kind of kills off the game for us a little bit there The freeze definitely didn't help on the magnazone early on it would have been A bit easier if we could have maybe broke the odd sub to put the pressure on It feels so broken after that Okay, well, I think outside of that Blessy the team performed pretty well in this episode and I hope you found that last match entertaining That's all I'm gonna say And good game to my opponent. Of course good game to my opponent So without further ado, we've got the rental teams and just a little heads up with the rental teams friends So the rental teams are gonna be up I'm gonna keep them up for two week periods because we've only got like six slots And that's across like I thought with my pokemon sword a shield account that I'd be able to have another six slots But it's not how it works. So once you've got those slots up Even across games You've only got six slots and that's it's super frustrating. So Um, what we're gonna do in this one. I'm gonna take down Um, yeah, we'll take down this cinderace one Um, we've not long actually put this up to be honest But I do have another cinderace team up which is new which will be up this week. So keep an eye out for that and um, I will Upload this pz team which is right here. So make it public and Then we can check it out and then you can grab that rental cord and try this pz team out And I hope you enjoy it my friends Um, and if you do definitely let me know down in oh, no, no, no, no, no, we want to just check it That's what we want. There we go Yeah, if you do try it out, definitely let me know down in the comment section below what your thoughts are If you've had a lot of fun with it How you found it and what your best aspects of it are the coaching mind show We never actually got to get going in this episode But it has been very fun. Nonetheless and uh, the blissiest side I think the team's done pretty well, um overall So hope you enjoy it friends We're going to sign out there just a reminder that we do stream over on twitch three times a week on a monday wednesday friday So if you'd like to come out and check some live battles interacting Hangout it would be a lot of fun to see you there But um, if you've enjoyed this episode, please remember to drop a like on the video It does really help the channel That lets me know that you enjoy this sort of content as well And if you're new to the channel, make sure you do hit that subscribe button And hit the notification bell because if you don't you'll never know when these videos go up So you'll miss them.

Good evening, I'm Olamideh Adeyemi and this is the news now. The Deputy National Chairman of the Labour Party, Olamideh Apapah, has declared himself as the Chairman of the party. This came after the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abourellech, the Thurks, aided by police officers in view that the party's headquarters in Aboujan caused damage to the property. However, Abourellech blamed the alleged Thurk invasion on the old Progressive Congress. To now, the Labour Party office is under attack. All the doors at the national headquarters have been broken and they have entered the office. But what are we trying to hold a meeting in the office? That meeting is not authorized by me, it's not authorized by the National Working Committee. The Labour Party is under serious attack, personally and individually, because of the case we have against the APC in Cubs. All of this blackmail, all of this attack is tailored towards destroying the mandate that has been freely given to us by Nigerians. Nigerians must rise to the occasion, defend their country, defend democracy and defend the Labour Party. Speaking with reporters, Apapa said he has taken over the affairs of the party following a court order restraining Abourellech from parading himself as chairman of the party. Apapa said Salih Lawan will now act as the national secretary of the party. The national term of our party and for the officers who are restrained by Abougea High Court not to parade themselves as officers of the party. This is based on allegation of pragyuri, forgyuri and so on and so forth. And because of that this National Working Committee emergency meeting is taking place. Because in a country like this there is no room for vacuum and therefore this National Working Committee meeting has graciously appointed me as acting national chairman of the party while Alihadi Salih has been appointed as acting secretary of the party.


So we are back at it. People were to be just left off mayhem clash quick bang Stalker invisibility gravity for me. Here we go. It's so fun Oh, that's how I was not though someone was spamming the infinite novel among rich and it was so annoying He couldn't move hopefully that don't happen this game. What would say? There's an over for a warlock Well, that's unfortunate lad.  Oh, yeah You ain't doing it.   Thank you It's like I'm stuck in Teva. I'm just gonna pick up this heavy.  Oh look at this dude Look at this dude Well, I'm talking about my team then it seems to be I's not gonna lie I'm always like to go against it. So annoying No, mate. Oh Don't know what happened there. Honestly don't know what happened there, but that was crazy I'm so done. Don't play up there. I knew it's flying about the map more heavy for me Please don't kill me that going gun.  Didn't I? Did I shoot that off the map?  You can touch a Teva.  I'm lucky, mate Yes, that's all good. That's all good.  They're gonna catch us people. Oh, no, yeah, just somehow That's pretty fun That was really fun.   What should we die show? Well, well, you know How do you miss two shots? We would have missed all three of them. He will have got a shout What's he just standing there looking at the floor? Is it a regular son? Did I not just have that room? Did I not just have that room About 10 minutes. It was tevred for 10 minutes. That was tevred No, I think you're into me. What hit me then? One hit on me. No, I'm dead and he's terrible. He's shocking What was he trying?

It's seriously is not but guys I hope you enjoyed the video if you did leave a like really does help me out Thanks as always for stopping by and I'll catch you on that next one. Hopefully


We can build machines which can do math for us. We can build machines which will make music for us. Machines can become everything that you are, can do everything that you can do. Only thing is that which is that indescribable force which makes everything happen, that will not happen in a machine. Experts say that human intuitions are essentially biochemical responses of our body. It is like an inherent and inbuilt biochemical algorithm. If that is so, then artificial intelligence can be powered to recreate human emotions. Are human intuitions truly biochemical algorithms or are they something more profound? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, does human intelligence have something to do with the biochemical activity that's happening in our system? Absolutely. Well, when you know today that you being mentally balanced or imbalanced, you being stable or unstable, you being clear or unclear in your mind, has a chemical basis to it or even you being happy or unhappy, loving or not loving, joyful or miserable, all has chemical basis. One way to understand this is, it is all a question of intelligence.  They are not different. It is completely wrong to understand intelligence as thought. Thought is just one small expression of intelligence. This is a folly that modern societies have made because the modern education system has made people believe that thought is the only form of intelligence. If thought is the only form of intelligence, you will naturally understand that accumulation of data, analyzing data and projecting this data according to your analysis is intelligence. Well, this is a process that any machine can do. This you're beginning to understand now that even the most complex thought that you think is phenomenal, today your computer can do it without effort. Do you see a simple calculator can do more mathematics than your teacher can do? Your computer can do much more mathematics than anybody can any mathematician can do. So obviously what you thought is a very difficult intellectual process is being processed by a machine far more easily than you can imagine. Now people argue that mathematics is one thing, literature is a different thing, music is a different thing. Well, I'm telling you whether it's literature or music, which are considered more what to say outpouring of human heart. Even this can be done by a machine. Well, we've still not built machines, good enough to do that maybe. But you will see in the next twenty-five, fifty years time, maybe I don't know how long, but it will inevitably happen you can't make out or probably it will be more perfect. So this about intuition, first thing to understand about intuition is intuition is not a different level of intelligence. Intuition is just simply a different level of computing. That is, let us say, let me make it very simplistic for you, just for the sake of understanding.   He's gathering data, color, form, the way it moves, the way it is. He's just taking up data through his sense organs. Let him watch this tree for a few minutes. Let's say he has grown up after some time and you ask him to let's say depict a tree. Most probably he will depict it nearly ninety percent right. But now the process of assimilating the tree in his mind is not logical. He is not saying the leaf is five centimeters by seven centimeters. The color is this kind of green, which is a combination of that, that and that. No, there is no logical assimilation. It's intuitive, simply just like that. The picture comes to his mind because all the data is there, processed and jumps all the steps of one, two, three, four and just gets there. So intuition is just that your computing is in such a way that you don't go through the logical process every time. So intuitive means your computing is skipping the logical steps and arriving at the answer, which is definitely a more sensible way to conduct your life. Is this just a biochemical algorithm? Well, I would say a hundred percent yes. So when we say biochemical algorithm, it is in a constant flux. You can set it the way you want. By genetics, by culture, by external influences, it's set one way. But if you are conscious, you can set it in another way. So is it just biochemical algorithms? When you say it is just, you are thinking that, am I just a mechanical process? Well, there is a mechanism. The question is whether this mechanism is conducted consciously or not. Right now there is an intellect, there is an intuitive dimension and there are deeper levels of intelligence, which is the basis of the making of the creation itself, the very source of creation. That intelligence is also embedded within you. The question is only at what level of access are you? Everybody has an arm like this, all right? Now can everybody use their arm the same way? No. Different people use it different ways. Somebody is a ball player, he uses it one way. Somebody is a writer, he uses it another way. Somebody is an artist, he uses it another way. Somebody is a yogi, he uses it another way because you have figured out certain aspects of life. Somebody else has figured out another aspect of life. Depending upon how you apply yourself, accordingly your biochemical algorithm is constantly changing. It is not a set process. Well, there are certain settings because otherwise you won't have a starting place. Like I already said, genetics, culture and influences, Sanskriti, that is, generations of learning that's happened within you. All these things put together, there is a certain algorithm, but it is not set, it is fluid. You can change it every moment of your life. So your intuition, what kind of intuition do you have? People are just doing guesswork all the time and thinking it's intuition. No, if you want to develop intuition, first thing is you must learn how to simply sit here, fully alert and not thinking about anything. Somebody was asking me, Sadhguru, when you're writing, what are you thinking about? Why the hell am I thinking about anything? I'm just writing. That's why I'm still alive.  If you know how to simply sit here, alert, but I'm thinking, oh, how is that possible? I'm asking, how is it possible for you to think when so much is happening out here, if you pay attention, you will not think. So the most important aspect of life is your attention, not your thoughts. This is what a child who saw the tree for the first time did, attention. If your attention is on all the time, without any kind of judgments about what is this, what is that, simply attention, not thought, just attention, you will naturally become intuitive. Human attention can open up any door in the universe, but the attention should become free from judgmental process.  Because even if you think you know everything, the data that you have gathered is very, very limited. If you observe this tree for one whole year, the entire process of it dropping leaves and putting back new leaves and everything, still I'm telling you, you do not even know a small percentage of what the tree is. If you want to understand the biochemical algorithm of the tree, we do not know how long it will take for you to grasp that. So this is a much, much more complex mechanism than the tree. So definitely this, if you spend a lifetime paying attention to this, still what you know is very little. But if as you become more and more conscious, you determine the biochemical algorithms. That means you determine the nature of the experience. But now the question was, can we build machines like this? Yes, we can. As we can build machines which can do math for us, we can build machines which will write stories for us, we can build machines which will make music for us, we can build machines which are intuitive in nature. So this is a very valid question. This is a question that needs to be looked at more profoundly than just talking about intuition or emotion. It needs to be looked at as a life process. Because life process is such, there is no separation between intelligence, intuition, thought, beat of the heart, function of the liver, function of the kidney, or what the spleen is doing, what the brain is doing, there is no differentiation. It is one seamless function. To grasp it that way is most important. Only then you will know life. Only then you will experience life to its fullest. Only then you will find that you will be speechless about life. Because there is no word. What is there? Is there a word? Is there a vocabulary to describe a phenomena like this? There is no word to describe what is life. What it is, what is it about? There is no conclusion. When there is no word, there is no conclusion. When there is no conclusion, there is no death. This is the way of liberation. I know you asked a simple question about whether machines can become like this or not. Machines can become everything that you are. Can do everything that you can do, probably better than you. As you know they are doing things better than you. Only thing is they cannot become consciousness. Well, some people are saying we will build consciousness into a machine. That's not going to happen. Because that's life. What you call as consciousness is the essence of life. That which cannot be described. For that which we don't have a word to say what it is. That which is that indescribable force which makes everything happen. That will not happen in a machine. One hundred percent.

Congratulations, Paul. Public forum. Pardon? Public forum. Public forum. Michael Warner. I just wanted to take this opportunity to make the citizens of our long-fellow school aware of an opportunity for them to become more involved in addressing some problems in their neighborhood. The Sheboygan Police Department through community policing will focus on solving some of the problems in this neighborhood. I have a flyer that I would like to read to you and it begins by stating you are welcome to join a neighborhood problem solving session and goes on to say, recently the Sheboygan Police Department and the Institute for Public Safety Partnerships from the University of Illinois at Chicago have been working together to promote the community policing philosophy in the city of Sheboygan. A citizen committee was formed and has chosen the neighborhood surrounding Longfellow School as a problem solving project. This committee is very interested to hear from the residents living in this area to learn about any crime related problems in your neighborhood. Three listening sessions have been scheduled on different days and times. We hope that one of these sessions would be convenient for you to attend. Wednesday, November 6th, 8 a.m. to 9 30 a.m. at Longfellow School in the Multimedia Room. Thursday, November 7th, from 5 p.m. to 6 30 p.m. at Longfellow School in the Multimedia Room. And Friday, November 8th, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Arabella's Restaurant. Refreshments and snacks will be provided. Please RSVP the Sheboygan Police Community Policing Office at 459-3341. That's 459-3341. Thank you. Thank you, Alderman Warner. That's all. Alderman Van Akron, Consent Agenda. Thank you, Your Honor. On the Consent Agenda, I would move that all ROs be accepted and filed. All committee reports be accepted and adopted. All resolutions be put upon their passage. All substitute resolutions be put upon their passage. And all general ordinances be put upon their passage. Moved in second at all ROs be accepted and filed. RCs accept and adopted. Resolutions, ordinances, and substitute resolutions be put upon their passage. That is 15-1 through, I believe, 15-29. Alderman Moody. Thank you, Your Honor. On 15-9, 10-11, we've got some temporary temporary easements, and then 15-11 is a permanent. What's the difference there, could I ask Alderman Warner? I have Tom explain. I just probably a little more. Temporary easements are for grading back banks for the contractors to get on to the private property, do some sloping then they're off it, then the easement goes away, where the permanent would be for utilities such as phone, any type of sewers, power. As far as the business drive. That's good. We're open, I have everything by the end of the year in place. Okay. And how soon do some of the property owners have to be out? Probably by. Probably depending on the contract signed, I would think by March. But that could be negotiated, depending on situations too. Thank you. Thank you, Tom. Alderman Doyle. Just if Mike Hotz could comment, just educate us on 15-7 a little bit about what those awards were all about. I was just going to get to that. Thank you. If no one else has any other discussion. On 15-7, CIVMIC related to the city receives two 2002 significant program awards. These are two awards that each year of cities and village municipal mutual insurance company reviews loss control and safety programs, which have been implemented within their 38 member cities and villages. This year, the CIVMIC board selected five programs to receive significant program awards. It's very difficult for the city to receive such an award, much less two in the same year. However, this year, two programs developed by the city of Sheboygan employees were selected for this award, which includes a cash award to the community to be used for safety or loss control items. At this time, and these are the programs that were sent, this time I like to call on Rob, Steve and Mike Hotz, the two individuals who developed the programs. And then I would like to present them with the awards from CIVMIC. So Rob, you want to step up to Mike first? Thank you, Mayor. The reason I created the scaffolding safety booklet and training is that it is one of the most overlooked areas in safety for both the public and private sectors. The U.S. has an average of over 80 deaths and 10,000 injuries a year with improper use, no training and maintenance of scaffolding. This booklet demonstrates to the Department of Public Works employees how to properly maintain and use mobile scaffolding and it has been successful. Thank you for your time on this matter. Thank you, Rob. Mike, Mike did the one for sewer backups. I had hoped to be recognized for something else other than my work in sewers, but I guess be that as it may, I'm pleased to get the award. Reason for it was since I've been investigating claims for the city I've found that sewer backup claims are probably the most traumatic for our citizens. Also learned that most of our people don't know the difference between their sewer lateral and a sewer man and often have questions on what they can do regarding proper disposal. The booklet that won the award is given to all residents who call our sewer crew and are in need of assistance. It describes the difference between the city main and the homeowner's lateral, details ways they can prevent sewer backups in both the main and the lateral, reviews their responsibilities as it relates to their lateral and concludes with a question and answer format answering frequently asked questions and who they can contact if they have a problem. I'd like to thank a couple people for their help in that booklet. City Plumbing Inspector Larry Hilbelink, Superintendent of Streets Eddie Zekowski and our sewer crew lead man Mike McMurray who all had input into that and reviewed the book in its final draft for its accuracy. I'd also like to congratulate Bob who probably works in most of you probably don't know Bob. He works in relative anonymity down at the service building but he does a fabulous job insuring a safe work environment for all our employees and also ensuring that they follow our written guidelines. So my congratulations to Bob also. I'd like to thank both the wards. Both these awards say in the recognition of the cities and villages mutual insurance company acknowledged city of Sheboygan has demonstrated commitment to excellent in risk management and lost control through the creation of the scaffolding safety mobile scaffolding. Congratulations Rob and Mike coping with sewer backup. Congratulations. Okay if no one has anything else Pat would you call the roll on a consent agenda please. D. Burr, E.

If you're looking for a video on a specific topic, simply type in what you're looking for in my channel, search bar, and if I have videos addressing that topic, it will take you right to them. What's up, you guys? It's Zodana. Welcome to Pants. That is what we are going to be talking about all week, you guys. We're going to be talking about the pants. What is the pants? It is the most important test any PA student will ever take because it's what takes you from a PA to a P-A-C. That's right. We want to be a P-A-C, not just a P-A, and to do that, you have to take the pants. That's what this video is going to be about. It's going to be about the structure of the pants. If you're going to take this test, you want to know what you're getting into, right? That's what I'm going to give you guys a little bit of information about. If you haven't already done so, go ahead and subscribe to my channel and follow me on Instagram, Adodana, the PA right now. All right, you guys. The pants, right? Where are you going to get all of this information for this big test that we're going to be studying for the PA national certification exam? We're going to go to nccapa.net. That is our certification body. That's where you're going to get all of the information with respect to what the pants is, how is it structured, how is it scored, or those type of information. I'm also going to give you a brief synopsis of that right here, right now. The pants is a five-hour test, yes, five hours. You're going to be doing this test. It's broken down into 60-minute blocks, and there are 60 questions in each 60-minute block, but you also have a 15-minute break, totaling 45 minutes. You have three breaks in that five-hour time period to just go out, refuel, drink some water, go use the bathroom, because you cannot leave while you're in the test unless you're on your break time, because they want to cut down on any assemblance of cheating whatsoever. You're going to have to do all of that during your 15-minute break. That's essentially the start of the exam. You have 300 questions, five hours to do this test, 60 minutes for 60 questions, so a minute a question. Schools do a really good job of trying to get you to that point where they break down. They start you off at maybe 90 minutes, so you'll do 90 seconds a question, and then they'll bring you down to actually doing a question in a minute. That is something that's very important. Also, the pants is broken down into your different sections. Like I said, if you go to nccpa.net's website, you can find a breakdown of the pants through their blueprint. The blueprint is huge. It's a lot of pages, but it goes so in-depth into exactly what you're going to be talking about. With respect to the blueprint, it will tell you all of the different sections that you really need to know, what you're possibly going to be tested on, and those different disease processes in that section. It's really, really good and really helpful to go to nccpa.net's website to actually figure all that information out. In this video, I was able to partner with Kaplan to actually do this video and provide you guys, all of my viewers and subscribers, a code, a link, I will leave it in the description box below, where you can get the extra added help that you need to prepare for the pants. Expert lecturers, teachers in pants prep, and then also it will give you an opportunity to have a kind of personalized lecture for you and for pants prep and pants review. My code, which is Adana 15, it will be down there. You can hit the link, go there, you'll get 15% off, but they are running a special right now for 20% off. It's a back-to-school special that you can get 20% off of the services that they're providing. Go on, hit that up right now. With that being said, it helps you in understanding these different sections. So like I said, how it's broken down into different sections, your renal section, now that is your kidneys. Partiovascular.  So all of those will total out to be 100% of your pants grade. Like I said, the blueprint goes in and it makes sure that you know exactly what specific disease is in that overall organ system that you should know. For instance, like a triple A, you need to know what a triple A is, and you need to know stable angina versus unstable angina for the cardiology system. And it will definitely break it down, bullet point exactly everything that you need to know or possibly could be tested on your pants in that particular section. But also they do this thing where they break it down into tasks. So for your task, you'll have something like, let's say, history taken. So you're going to need to know how to take a good H&P because you're going to have to write that down. And let's say you were given a question stem and you're given all this information. You have to be able to pull out all of the right information from that patient's history to make sure that you get the correct disease. You'll have your history taken, which is worth 17% of your pants. Your diagnostic and laboratory studies, which is worth 12% of your pants. You'll have getting the correct diagnosis, which is worth 18% of your pants, which makes sense because you have to be able to get the correct diagnosis when you're out in the actual field.   So that is part of the whole system, making sure that you get the correct diagnosis. The other thing is your health maintenance and patient education, which is worth 10%. It comprises 10% of the pants. So in that 13% of your cardiovascular questions that you can possibly have out of the 300 questions that you're going to be given, you're going to probably see a percentage of them or a large percentage is going to be about getting the correct diagnosis and then also health maintenance and patient education. Are you telling the patient exactly what they need to do going forward to make sure that they continue to have good health? So that's something that's also very important. You're going to be tested on your clinical intervention, which is worth 14% of the overall questions that you're going to ask, get asked. You're also going to be tested on your pharmaceutical therapeutic intervention, which is also worth 14%. And that's really big. I learned and I saw this just on my rotations as I'm doing them right now, that you need to know what are the correct drugs to treat this particular person and their different comorbidities because let's say you don't want to use a drug that's going to exacerbate their heart condition even more. Although it may be the first line treatment, you want to make sure that you're catering to that patient. So you have to know the side effects and the different drug interactions of all of their different pharmaceuticals that you're going to be prescribing. Applying the basic science concepts is also part of what you're going to be tested on in your pants. That is 10% of your question stems that you're going to see and then professional practice. Like as a PA, how are you operating professionally? So we have two major sections on how it's broken down. Organ systems, which talks about your assessment and diagnosis of that particular disease process and then also understanding that you have a knowledge and a skill set of that disease. And then your task categories, which just kind of goes in further into more depth on are you getting the correct diagnosis? Are you using the right drugs? Are you using the right clinical interventions? Are you using the right laboratory studies? Or do you know what laboratory studies correlate with this particular disease? So it's important to you guys that you go into your research. You have to have to know that, hey, I just don't need to know the disease or be able to recognize the disease. I also need to know what's the first, second and third line treatment of this disease. I know that's hard for you to wrap your mind around. You're like, oh man, how am I going to keep all of this information in my mind, right? How am I going to know all of these different treatments? But it's important for you to know that because when you're out in the field and you have a patient that is allergic to the first line treatment, then knowing the second and third line treatment is going to be beneficial. So hopefully this video helps you guys understand a little bit more on how exactly the PANTS is structured. It's structured based on organ systems and then tasks that you all have to understand. It's also a five hour exam that is comprised of 300 questions in 60 minute blocks, right? Really quick, short, concise for you. Hopefully you guys can hit that Kaplan website. You guys go to that link. It will help you with respect to having a teacher and then also kind of lectures that you can look at on different topics. Again, use my code ADANA15. The link will be down in the description box below. And if you already haven't done so, go ahead and subscribe. Thank you guys so much for watching and join me for the rest of PANTS week. Bye!
