You're welcome back. Now there are complaints from importers over 200 percent surge in duty amid Naira flock tuitions. That's what we're discussing right now. And Nick Agouli, a public affairs analyst, is here with us. Nick, good morning and welcome to the program. Yes, good morning. Nick, your audio doesn't seem to be friendly this morning. Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you now. Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you. Okay. So good morning to our viewers. Okay. Okay, now let's just begin. They say importers are groaning over 200 percent surge in duty amid Naira flock tuitions. But let's leave importers first and talk about the Naira flock tuitions. What comments do you have? Naira now is 1,030 Naira per dollar, at least in the black market, which was not supposed to exist anymore because of the present government's policies and all that. Ahmed Feli is in under lock and key, as it were, because I know that there are remote courses that they have said are making them to prosecute him. But now we have the immediate courses, which were policies that he made like the redesigning of the Naira and some other things that people complained about. But right now we have a new sheriff in town and we are still seeing this one dollar selling for 1,030 Naira. Please say something about it. Okay, thank you very much. Let me use an analogy to explain what is happening. Okay. The unification, the so-called unification of the market. I say so-called because the markets have not been unified. As you are saying that the Naira is 1,000 plus to one single dollar in the so-called official market. It is not up to that, maybe 700, 800. So there is still some 200 Naira arbitrage that the boys who are connected are still eating from. Yeah. So there is no unification yet. But let us just say that government announcing the unification of the H.J. rate was like a doctor trying to understand the extent of the sickness of a patient. Because immediately government floated the H.J. rate. We now saw the re-value of the dollar. It told us that we must give 1,000 units of our currency to get one dollar. That was the re-market-driven value of our dollar. So this is a doctor who now sees the extent of theiness of the patient. Is there expected that this doctor is now to begin to apply medication now that they know the extent of theiness they begin to apply medication so that the patient will start getting better. Safe patient will start getting better. Unfortunately in Nigeria after we floated and we saw the extent of the sickness that oh we need a thousand plus units of our currency to buy one dollar. There has been no single medication that the current government has applied to help the situation. The single medication. There is any single medication that the current government has applied. I would like somebody to put it forward to me now and to those who are viewing us. Because now that we understand that we need a thousand units and more of our currency to get one dollar. There are only two medications, two medications that are needed to help the Nigerians to begin to recover. Medication number one, to increase the inflow of the dollar into the Nigerian economy. We need to increase the supply of the dollar because the more the supply of the commodity, the less the price. That is medication number one. Medication number two, we need to reduce the demand for dollars. Because the less the demand for a product, the less the price. I would like anybody to tell me that since the assumption of office on May 29, 2023, the tenable government has implemented policy that increases the supply of dollars to the Nigerian economy or reduces the demand for dollars in the Nigerian economy. I think there has been any such policy. I would like to be educated about it. As far as I'm concerned, with my interest in public affairs, there has not been any single policy direction or execution or implementation in either of those two areas. So if that is not happening, how do we expect the patient to get better? If we now saw that the patient is having this serious illness and there is no medication that has been applied to the patient, the only result is that the patient will only get worse. And that is why the Naira... Nick, I don't know what's happening. I can't hear you any more. We do hope... So I've seen that. Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you now. We lost your audio for a moment there. Yes. So the government is not doing anything to help the Naira. Instead, the government is actually taking steps to make the patient worse. The doctor is making the patient worse. And how do I mean, number one, to help the supply of the dollar, the government needs to calm insecurity in the Niger Delta so that those who are still in our crude oil will no longer steal our crude oil. That way, we will sell more barrels of crude oil and there will be increase in supply. Has this government done anything about this? Absolutely not. You know, our Navy, our Army, our Air Force, our police, our DSA, all the security agencies are carrying on as before, giving room to people to steal. The other day, they sent and said, oh, we are going to investigate Nigerian security forces for not providing security in the Niger Delta. But we have a chief executive who appoints the security chiefs, who should call them, some of them, that if they steal our, has been sent for stealing Nigerian crude oil, for allowing the room for Nigerian crude oil to be stolen. That is on the supply side. On the demand side, the president is junketing around the world. His vice president is junketing around the world. And for them to go about around the world, they are demanding the dollar. So instead of reducing the demand for dollar, we are increasing the demand for dollar to pay extra code, to pay all the cost of junketing around the world. Not only that, a few years ago, this government went and lifted a ban on the importation of 43 items. Once you lift that ban, it means people are not going to approach the central bank to demand for dollar to bring in two pigs. That was on that ban list. So that is not going to hurt the Naira. Instead, it's going to pressure the Naira more because I tell that with a ban that I don't demand the dollar for, don't bring them in, have not been on ban by the government. So for me, it just appears that this government is totally bereft of ideas. They don't have a solution or they have solutions. They don't have the political courage to implement it. There is no direction. There is nothing that is coming on the table to give us the confidence that they know what is the problem with Naira and they are ready to solve it. Unfortunately, if no medication is applied, we are going to see a 2000 Naira to one dollar in due time. Yeah, I know you've mentioned some things, but like you said, using your words, medication one is to make sure that the dollar is not in short supply into the country. Now, how do you think the government should go about that? How much more do you think the government should go about that? Okay, so we can tackle the medication one, which is increase the supply of dollars in the economy. The lowest-hanging fruit, the lowest-hanging fruit for that is stopping the stealing of Nigeria's crude oil. The government itself concedes that about the barest of our crude oil is being stolen, the barest per day. You stop that. It then means that Nigeria will be able to sell a million barrels more of crude oil. Crude oil is about $88 now. They just have transmitted to $90 for the purpose of analysis. If we now sell one million barrels of crude oil at $90 each, that is going to be $90 million per day times 30 days will be $2.7 billion every month. For 10 months, it will be $270 billion coming into the country. The question is, is it doable? It's doable because the crude oil is being produced and people are stealing it. I mean, the crude oil is there. The government only needs to tighten security in the Niger Delta, and that will stop. That is number one. Number two, as we speak today, the NNPC, once they say the crude oil has not been stolen and we succeed in selling it, they turn instead of bringing those dollars that they sold crude oil. So now that crude oil is $88, $90, we should have been very happy because our crude oil will not be generating a lot more dollars for us and we'll be bringing the dollars into Nigeria, helping with the supply and education. But those dollars are not coming back to Nigeria because immediately the NNPC sells the crude oil. They turn the entire dollars that we have earned, billions of dollars that we have earned to refineries abroad so that we will not import petroleum products. If this government that came into office, actually this government got certificate of return in February of 2023, so if you look at February, you have March, you have April, you have May, you have June, July, August, September, we are into October now. This government is into the eighth month, that they know that they are going to take power. And they are into office in the fifth month since they actually took power. Have you heard this government talk about refineries? Anything? Is there anything that is being done? The group managing director of the NNPC or CEO as they call him now, he's still in place. The man that couldn't swap our refineries for the whole years that has been in office, he's still in office. This government has not raised any tax costs but are you with me? Yes. Are you with me? Yes, please. Are you with me? Yes, go ahead. Yes, this government has done nothing. Increase the dollar supply because we will no longer use our crude oil shares in dollars and give them to refineries abroad. We'll be refining here, so we'll bring the dollars in. Again, this government is doing nothing about power supply as we speak today. Nothing. And it is power supply that will enable the manufacturing sector in Nigeria to boom so that we will not start exporting products that were manufacturing. When we export products, we get dollars to come into this country. Even food, we can export raw food all over the world.  But we cannot even do agriculture because bandits, kidnappers and all sorts of terror stories have driven farmers away from their farm lands. Has this government done anything concrete in the almost six months they have been in office to address the insecurity in the farming areas of our country? And by now, ADPs would have started returning to their farms so that they can start food production, which we can export and bring in more money. Still like that. So you can see that the government is doing nothing about the supply medication. And if we go to the demand medication, it will be the same thing. Let me pause. Otherwise, I can go to the demand medication and also describe what is not happening, nothing that is happening by this government. We will revisit it if we have the time to do so. But now the immediate thing that made us bring this topic is the fact that duty has had a 200% increase and the importers are groaning now. We do not even know how to marry these two. On the one hand, they have been given free hands to get the dollar and do the importation. But when the goods that they have been asked to bring where they should get to to be cleared, their duties have risen to 200% from what it used to be. And how will these things come into the country if the duties have gone as high as that? So I don't know what you think. Well, it only means that the misery index, the misery index by suffer by Nigerians is only intensifying. Because what happens here is that as the duty has skyrocketed by over 200%, importers, they are not into business to make losses. They are going to transfer the entirety of the extra cost of duty and place it into the prices of the goods and services that Nigerians will have to pay for. So it's only going to bring more pain and misery to Nigerians. And the question here is that, first and foremost, if the government really wants to help Nigerians, government should not be collecting duty in dollars. Because government is benchmarking duty in dollars as that the foreign exchange rate is impacting on the duty. If the government says if you bring it in a 40-foot container, we are going to take 100,000 from you for the container and then we are going to take maybe one, two, three percent on the value of the goods from you, then it wouldn't matter what the foreign exchange is. The government will continue to take the same Naira from the importers so that the inflationary pressure in Nigeria will be reduced. But this government is charging the duty in dollars. And if they charge duty of $1,000 on a container, when the Naira was $150 to $1,000, that would be $150,000 Naira. Today the government is charging the same $1,000 on that container because they have not allowed that container to be priced as the existing exchange rate. That is going to be over a million. So this is what is happening. So governments all over the world, they make policies to help their people because the duty of the government is to provide welfare and security to the people. So a government that knows its own yours, we're not through the citizens under the boss and say that container must be $1,000 regardless of what the exchange rate is. You must give us equivalent to $1,000 to bring that container in. No, the government can actually say we are pricing this container in Naira and this is the Naira rate for the containers regardless of what the exchange rate is. That way the citizens will be insulated from the fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate. But this is not what is happening in Nigeria. The point is that, you know, why would a country that is so blessed with the rich, fertile, arable land with a good climate to match with a sufficient amount of rainfall, I'm here in Abuja, it's already raining now, with the rivers around where we can do irrigation, the importing food. Why would a government that built steep plants since the 80s would not have any one of those steep plants functioning so we are having to import vehicles, import machinery, import all sorts of equipment into the country. Why would a government that has refineries allow the refineries to rot so that we are importing every single liter of petroleum products that we are consuming in the country? Why are we importing education? Why are we importing healthcare? Why are we... So the people in government need to understand that those are the fundamentals that they need to deal with. You know, we need to go back to the basics. We need to make a direct productive economy. We are not going to even be importing these things. And if we are not importing, you know, imagine a farmer who is able to pound the yam for the children. The children will have more plentiful panned yams at cheaper rate than if the farmer has to be buying the panned yam from abroad and bringing it to the children. So the job of those who have sought our vote and have taken offices is cut out for them that, look, instead of dealing with symptoms, God, this is 200% hike in impunity. It's a symptom. It's a symptom of a disease. And what is the disease? The disease is our low productive capacity. We have low output rate, which has now resulted in huge unemployment and that is causing big inflation down in the country. Together, that's what we call stagnation. Stagflation, I mean, stagflation. And Nigeria's economy is actually not suffering from inflation. It's suffering from stagflation. So even the policies of the central bank fighting inflation are wrong because our e-ness is not inflation. It is stagflation, of which inflation is just part of it. You know, the others, of course, low output and unemployment. So we just want the people to do. We don't. We just want them to deliver. Okay, so let's wrap it up with going back to Medication 2 that you gave so that we have a full context of what you were saying and then get some solutions that can be applied if the relevant authority are listening to this program. So your Medication 2 is to make sure that, okay, the first one was to bring in more dollar and the other one was to make sure that people don't need the dollar so much. So how are they going to go about that as we wrap up? Exactly. So Medication 2 is to reduce the demand for dollars, bring down the demand for dollars, cut the demand for dollars. And there are low-hanging fruits here and there are medium and long-term solutions. The low-hanging fruit, number one, is the president and his vice-president are traveling too much. Because each time they want to travel, they are going to take Naira from the budget and look for dollars and pay Esterco to these officials that are moving with him. I actually expect the president in the current reality where he wants Nigerians to endure to tighten their bed, to lead by example, I expect the president to actually burn all foreign troops by government officials burn all foreign troops. Let us not let no government official go anywhere. That alone is going to reduce demand for dollars into the billions I can assure you. Because as I speak today, I speak to you today, if you go to any of the foreign airlines that are operating in Nigeria, all the first class and almost all the business class seats are going to be taken up by Nigerian government officials who are going abroad for one reason or the other. They need money, they need dollars to pay the first, they need dollars for Esterco, they need dollars. So just stop that. Stop that for the last six months. Let's see what happens. That will reduce demand. The biggest demand for dollars in Nigeria as we speak, the biggest demand for dollars in Nigeria today is to import petroleum products. Because as we speak today, Nigerians are driving into petrol stations. They are paying Naira to buy petrol, diesel, kerosene, they're going to fuel everything. But all of that Naira must be used to demand the dollar because we must go abroad to buy the petroleum products and bring them in. And the government by now should have sorted out the process of selling over a refurbished. You know how a refurbished was sold before? So there's a template for their sale that is already there. And if President Tinibu set up a tax team and gave them a few weeks, two to three weeks and said, take the template where we sold these refurbished before, update it to current realities and put up these refurbished for sale. But now we will probably sell the refurbished and the investors who have already been in trying to solve that side of the problem, on the demand side. Of course, the other thing is that a constant huge demand is education. So we need to be dealing with our education so that parents will feel comfortable to keep their children in Nigeria and not demand the dollar to send them abroad. The other one is medical. Let's start dealing with our head care so that Nigeria will feel comfortable assessing our head care instead of demanding for the dollar to go to India to go to all those places. Let's all deal with the steel sector so that Nigerians will not have our locally manufactured cast, locally manufactured equipment that we are going to deal with. Let's all deal with power sector. With power sector, our manufacturing will be boosted so we no longer need to demand dollar to go and bring in manufactured goods from across the world into Nigeria. So this is how we are going to apply the second education, which is to reduce the demand for dollars. Okay, thank you so much, Nick Agoule, for your thoughts this morning and coming on the program to share them. Thank you. Thank you very much, Alton. Thank you. Okay, we've been talking with Nick Agoule, a public affairs analyst. We were looking at how importers are growing over 200% surge in duty amid Naira fluctuation and this is where we started cotton on the days breakfast, the days addition of the breakfast. We hope to meet again tomorrow same time, that is from 7 o'clock in the morning till about this time. On behalf of the entire breakfast on plus TV, my name is Nick Agoule, thank you for being there.


Welcome to Church of the Chair, where we celebrate all the things we do while seated. I'm your host, E, and today I have an announcement, and I'm going to be doing this every Sunday, morning, afternoon, whenever these videos go live, to let you guys know that we'll be playing incoherent again tonight on the channel, and tonight I have some cool prizes for you. I'm not going to show them all off right now, but I have doubles of a lot of Stephen King's books. So tonight, one of the things I will be giving away is this movie tie-in, I believe, yeah it's the masterpiece of modern horror, now a Stanley Kubrick film, so this is the movie tie-in cover, I guess, but yeah, I'll be giving away one of these tonight on the channel, whoever gets the most points during the game, but I will start streaming at 4.45 Central Standard Time, but we won't actually start playing the game until 5pm Central Standard Time. I hope to see you guys later, that's all the time I have for you today, I'll hail the chair.  Let's try this again.


with the Vermont House Government Operations Committee. We are meeting to look over what we hope to be the final language on S-354, the pared down version of it. We are assembled now with our Legislative Council and all of our committee members and Representative Murwiki, would you be willing to report this on the floor tomorrow? As long as Senator White isn't watching. That is a complicating factor since she is your constituent. And I am sure to hear from her. Yes, well the bill was perfect and nobody had any concerns so and it's still perfect and we have eliminated any concerns that we heard about. So Betsy Ann and Tucker, why don't you guys take it away, show us what we're looking at for some emergency provisions for our municipalities and school districts. Hello, if it's okay I'll do a share screen while the dock is being posted, if that's all right. If Andrea will let me. We've got three two versions up here because I didn't know how far the committee wanted to go with this. Let's take a look at draft 3.2 first. There's a 3.1 and a 3.2. The difference between the two is that 3.2 would apply only to towns and school districts. 3.1 would apply to all municipalities. So I just offered 3.1 just in case you wanted to extend this Australian ballot authority beyond towns and school districts. But for right now let's just look at 3.2 that's limited to towns and school districts. So this 3.2 again this is a strike all to the bill with only this one section that would say notwithstanding the two provisions of law that require the voters of a town or school district to vote to apply the provisions of the Australian ballot system to the annual or special meeting of the municipality because municipalities just catch all term for both town and school district in the year 2021. A town or school district may apply the Australian ballot system to any or all of its annual or special meetings held in the year 2021 by vote of its legislative body. So for a town that's its select board or city council for school district that's its school board. It goes on to say that the Secretary of State may waive statutory deadlines or other statutory provisions or provisions set forth in a school district's articles of agreement related to a municipal election as necessary in order for a municipality to apply the Australian ballot system to its meeting in accordance with subsection A. This waiver authority applies the statutory provisions set forth in a municipal charter or provisions set forth in a school district's articles of agreement if the waiver is requested by the municipality. If that language looks familiar to you or did it come from it's coming from your act 92. Essentially this same exact language for all municipalities in act 92 in the provisions of act 92 but only for the year 2020. So that's why that authority is ending in the year 2020. This would extend it just for towns and school districts in the year 2021 because this draft 3.2 would be limited to towns and school districts. There was some feedback from the education committee chair about defining school districts. So it's not just your normal town school district. It could be a union school district for example and they even had language suggesting a regional career technical school center school district. So according to language that they provided to define school district this would use their proposed school district definition meaning a school district as defined in 16 VSA sub section 11 sub 11 which defines school districts to include your standard town school districts as well as union municipal school districts all our normal school districts you think of plus the definition of the regional career technical center school district as separately defined in 16 VSA 1571 effective date on passage and then the title of the bill would be amended to be an act relating to using Australian ballot for town and school district meetings in the year 2021. So that's draft 3.2 limited just to towns and school districts. I had draft 3.1 just in case you wanted to extend this to all municipalities. So other municipalities might include a village, a fire district, a water district or any of the other utility type districts that exist in the state. If you wanted to take it that far I didn't know if you wanted to. So just in case 3.1 is there just using the more general term municipality so allowing any municipality legislative body in the year 21 to apply the Australian ballot system to any of its annual or special meetings in the year 21 by vote of the legislative body same statutory of state waiver authority and then the title would be real an act relating to using Australian ballot for municipal meetings in the year 21. I'm going to stop share for now and I think you have access to or should have access to these docs. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks Andrea. Committee questions, discussion. Go ahead John. Thank you. Betsy and the petition things out. I did not include your petition thing. I failed to do that. I'm sorry because you wanted to include that you didn't tell me that you wanted to make it permissive for Australian ballot but you didn't tell me to get rid of the petition so I need to do that. I apologize in the rush of things I did not. I don't fully understand just. Sorry about that. I would need to include that. So we should decide whether we're going 3.2 or 3.1. Mike Marwicki has a hand up. I'm just checking to see if I actually have any say in this. Well we've already covered the part that you don't have say in so yes you have say in this. Okay well no I just wanted to share that about 20 years ago I was elected the chair of a statewide group that organized after school care programs and people said oh that was nice and I said well the situation was I was at this meeting I had to take a phone call because we had a problem at the program back home and when I came back in the room I had been elected chair of this yeah you're all over again be be careful what happens when the group you're working with notices your absence I'm honored all right so my inclination is that we want this to cover all of the school districts as the concern was raised by the education committee that they wanted to make sure school districts union districts were all set and that we should also do all municipal bodies because villages and water boards and all and the like might still have challenges doing their annual meetings through the end of this pandemic so that would be my inclination anybody want to weigh in well I agree AP yes I I would I totally agree with fact I had my hand up when you said it I lowered it but yes I think that's the best way it covers everybody and it's just everybody has as necessary if they need it so I go with that thank you other committee discussion Mike Mike's got a thumbs up good deal yeah I agree with JP well without objection we will just give you a Betsy Anna moment to bring over the language regarding petition signatures and I think we will want to check in on this or or recommend to the newly formulated government operations committee in January to check in on this Jim Harrison Madam Chair we going to convene at all Thursday or Friday as a committee we can if you'll miss us well I don't want to just say goodbye and no I didn't I didn't know if we might fit in a five minute zoom session certainly want to say goodbye to Marsha she bailing on us well I hope that we could do that yes JP let me throw out 10 o'clock Friday morning just to get people thinking 10 o'clock Friday morning so my sense of Friday is that Friday is going to be a bit of a hurry up and wait day as we wait to see what's coming back when from the Senate do we have two two house or two four sessions on Friday well we have them penciled in I don't know that we're definitely going to use them oh okay so why don't we why don't we make tentative plans to to have a a zoom on Friday between floor sessions I don't want to have you come in before 10 a.m if floor is at 10 and we take a break we can decide at that point that we're gonna get together to say our goodbyes eat our lunch together Rob's bringing donuts right I think Jim actually could buy us lunch and just pay for it all through this Venmo did you know that the way side is open for dining in I saw a big banner on the it is and I if Jim would like to spring for it I'd go get gift certificates for everyone so I saw a headline in Times Argus but I didn't have a chance to read it evidently the wayside also has been in business long enough that it survived the last pandemic is that correct I read that as well that's impressive I'm assuming it wasn't a pandemic caused by their cooking Warren I just wanted to I wanted to remind folks that Dr. Fauci and others at the CDC have said that data shows that dining in increases twofold your chances of catching the virus that dining in any of these restaurants doubles doubles your chances as opposed to dining outside or not going to a restaurant anyway and then there's no doubt that the restaurant industry has been hit harder by this thing and any other segment of our society but well I'd be very careful about dining in a restaurant I'll be right back I'm speaking with the chair of education what's taking Betsy and so long Jim she can't hit me from this distance I was asking for Rob well I'm a little disappointed in myself I mean she actually she waited till the last couple days to make a mistake this year I know it's the first one she's made in the biennium well that's yeah exactly not that I'm counting or anything but all right Betsy and it's going to disappear for a moment and put the finishing touches Warren is your hand just up from before I'll lower it for you if you want me to okay I think we're good one second here I am going to first let me just I'll save this as a PDF and send it to all of you sorry for the hold up I have so many versions of docs open it's I had to recreate is someone hungry I hear some growling sounds like Rob's dog that was here there is a dog downstairs I'm sorry I couldn't tell if it was a dog or Jim okay let me I just emailed it to you all this is draft 4.1 adding back in the waiver authority or excuse me the suspension of the requirement to collect voter signatures for any municipal meeting so if we're good to go I will do a share screen okay here we are this would be draft 4.1 your strike all it's for municipal meetings in the year 2021 notwithstanding those two provisions of law that require the voters of a municipality to vote to apply the Australian the provisions of the Australian ballot system to the annual or special meeting of the municipality in the year 2021 any municipality may apply the Australian ballot system to any or all of its municipal meetings held in the year 2021 by vote of its legislative body here's the new language in sub 2 notwithstanding 17 vsa 2681 b or any other provisional laws of the contrary a person shall not be required to collect voter signatures in order to have the person's name placed on the ballot as a candidate for a local election that is held at a 2021 municipal meeting there in sub b is that waiver authority for the secretary of state to waive statutory deadlines in order to allow municipalities to move to Australian ballot this is the same language that the general assembly already enacted for municipal elections in the year 2020 those are still that authority is still ongoing and now this would pick it up and apply it to 2021 I'm gonna get rid of that sub c I was working with that old doc I'm getting rid of sub c you don't need that sub c definition of a school district because you don't have it in here so I'm getting rid of sub c I just did that on the fly there's be no subsection c in this draft 4.1 we'll call it draft 4.2 time stamp is my wiki has his hand up like go ahead thank you Betsy I have a question I believe we heard earlier from the secretary of state's office that other ballot questions for town meeting don't have to have signature on a petition also is that am I remembering accurately you're muted they were saying that a a town can choose a town legislative body can choose on its own to put on the ballot any questions that otherwise would have been submitted by voter petition so for example they gave the example of a prior petition for a budgetary appropriation instead of requiring people to submit a voter petition the town legislative body on its own could submit that question to the voters so it's not a statutory authority to actually waive the signature requirement for those voter petitions it's just the town legislative body could act on its own to propose those questions to the voters so people if a town doesn't agree big picture if a legislative body doesn't agree with putting a for example a budget appropriation on the ballot um some a person would still have to collect voter signatures for a voter petition to have it placed on the ballot but that's only for public questions not for work candidates yeah so it's up to the town boards yes if if they if they want to do it on their own thank you hi jim yeah just whenever appropriate i would move that we adopt draft 4.1 as a strike call amendment to s 354 and i did just change it to 4.2 because i just sent you 4.1 with that erroneous definition of school district which you don't need anymore so if you want to make it 4.2 because i deleted that what i was saying is i meant 4.2 thank you for working with me thank you for working with us all right uh committee discussion does it meet all of your concerns yes all right i see jim and mike with hands up but i'm going to lower them because i'm going to assume that you're good to go um any other committee discussion jim you know the vice chair lowered our hands this morning did he do that for you in my absence jp just just trying to verify in and um section one subsection two last sentence uh the main place on a ballot's candidate for a local elections held at a 2020 municipal meeting now the word municipal just trying to verify we'll cover town and school districts is that correct that is correct municipality is a general term for governmental incorporated units so it includes towns school districts fire districts villages water districts all of those units of government great and that's what that was my belief i just wanted to verify that thank you yeah all right we have a motion on the floor here are we ready to vote all right marcia when you are ready let's just take a moment to know recognize that this is quite possibly the last roll call vote that marcia as our as our committee clerk will take for us so let us hope thank you for your sake and for ours and we do so appreciate your work in that position so thank you whenever you're ready okay gannon yes kits miller yes roll wiki yes la claire absolutely maybe yes erison yes gardener yes plastic yes super yes ronnell yes colston yes couplin hanses yes so it's a unanimous 11 00 vote all right what is the most expeditious way to get this information to the clerk so that it can go in on notice so i did just forward you that 4.2 that you just approved and so whoever the reporter is can just send it over to just eat by email to the house clerk's office okay so might take forward that um through the clerk's office and you might want to just ask him for confirmation uh just to be sure all right any other business for the committee before we go off stream cnn e mic thank you marcia good job marcia thank you all right i think we are done with official business so let's go off


Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial and this one I'm going to show you how to export footage and do it the right way. So here we go guys, I've got a video or a piece of footage loaded into my project panel. Now I'm going to go ahead and right click on this and I'm going to go down and here you're going to see under new sequence from clip. What this does is it creates a sequence with the exact settings of the initial footage and about 98 out of 100 times that's really all you'll need to set up a sequence. Sometimes if you have different pieces of footage from different cameras and different resolutions, it can get a little wonky but 98 out of 100 times that's perfect. So I resist the urge to go to file new sequence and then select a sequence here because sometimes you'll select the wrong one like for example I would select 1080p 30 but the footage here is 1080p 24 so it gets out of sync so that way when you're rendering it or when you're exporting it like I'm going to do here you don't experience any issues. So to render or export footage go to file drop down to export left click on media and here's what I do 95 out of 100 times I'm going to use the H264 format I'm just going to let the match source high bit rate and then I am just going to go ahead and select desktop I'll save it to my desktop and just left click on export. There are cases where you're going to want to use a different format or a different codec particularly if you're using an alpha channel and things like that but that's a little more complicated and I have videos on that if you want to learn about it. So exporting footage or rendering footage that's it guys thanks for watching be back soon with some more content.


Well, everyone, welcome back to another Photoshop tutorial. Gonna show you how to remove your ex, your ex-girlfriend, your ex-boyfriend, whatever, how to get him out of a picture like this one. What am I talking about? Here's your boyfriend eating off, it's just kebab, whatever, a skewer, and now he's not in the picture. How did I do it? Let's start from scratch, take about 45 seconds. Okay, here we go. We've got our image, the next step. Go to the left side, grab the Object Selection Tool. When we hover over this fella here or the lady or anything for that matter, it will select the object. And in this case, this man has been objectified. All right, good stuff. It has done a great selection. However, it missed a patch on his leg.  I'm gonna hold down the Shift key and I'm gonna go over and make sure that there's any parts that weren't missed. Okay, that looks pretty good. Now, the next step is we need to create a boundary around him. Cause if you don't do this, you're gonna get some really weird looks, especially at the edges.  In this case, let's go with an expansion of 35 pixels. This is gonna create a buffer around the edges. When I click OK, I'll show you. So I zoom in. This is 35 pixels from elbow to this piece here, and it's all around his body. So we're not gonna get any of those weird, funny, blurry edges that you get in this type of thing if you don't do that.  When you do that, you'll see here in a preview pane that Presto, we've gone ahead and deleted him. Just click on OK. And then he's gonna be gone. Watch this. Come on, computer, anytime. There we go. All done, guys. He's gone. Thanks for watching.


Hi, this is Marty McGurk and welcome to a Model Railroad hobbyist getting real video extra. Mockups are a great way to plan a scene on a model railroad layout. I'm using mockups rather extensively to plan the White River Junction Vermont scene on my home layout. On this HO scale layout, the center change point between the Central Vermont Railway and the Boston and Maine is a key scene and one that I wanted to make sure I modeled as accurately as I possibly could. I started by identifying several key areas of the prototype that I knew I wanted to represent on my model railroad. First of them was the station itself, obviously. For this, I used plans that appeared in Model Railroad magazine to create the mockup. The track is simply flex track that's been pinned in place with ordinary map pins. It makes it easy to move things around. One of the things I find when I'm working with the mockups is sometimes I make them a little too large. If I do that, it's a simple matter to adjust a much easier than adjusting the finished model. Twin State Fruit Company is another key signature scene I wanted to include on the layout. As you can see, that billboard sign on the front of the building is certainly a recognizable element. But when I created my mockup for this building, I found that the mockup itself wouldn't fit on the layout. The solution was to add a small shelf to the front of the layout to add room for the building. The gates block is another element I wanted to include on the layout, although I didn't want to devote a lot of space to a block of commercial buildings. I did want to capture the basic look of the structure. I created the mockup and then trimmed it to fit. Ultimately, it'll be a sort of a three-dimensional relief backdrop element on the layout. Leaving the gates block behind, we arrive at the Bridge Street overpass scene. On this scene, I didn't build a 3D mockup. I made a simple poster board footprint mockup. We discussed these in the article and these are a great way to measure a building and cut and trim it to fit without actually building a three-dimensional mockup. You can see the folded pieces of paper there. Those represent the street itself. Remember, mockups don't have to be elaborate or complicated to be effective planning tools. In this case, I've simply taken a couple pieces of Styrofoam, stacked them up, and used it to see where to locate the overpass itself. That way, I can make this decision now in a mockup form, rather than cut it into the plywood and realize the bridge should be six inches to the left or foot to the right. Moving on, we reach the freight yard. Behind the freight yard is the Ward Baking Company. The front of Ward Baking isn't too much to look at. That actually faces the backdrop on my layout. But the rear wall of Ward Baking faces the central Vermont freight yard and has this recognizable billboard sign that's still there today and is certainly a recognizable signature element. The small red mockup you see there in the middle represents the Ward Baking building. Moving to the right, we reach the freight yard itself. And you can see the engine terminal and turntable in the distance. The locomotive servicing area at White River Junction was a key division point on the railroad. It had several key signature elements, the turntable roundhouse and this concrete coiling tower that was built in 1928 with the central Vermont logo emblazoned in the concrete. White River was the one place where the CV dispatched its largest engines in both north and south directions. And so it was important that I had captured on the layout. I wanted to make sure that I had room for the turntable and roundhouse. Wolther's actually includes a paper template for their turntables, so in a way they're encouraged and use mockups as well. That's all for now. I've hope you picked up some tips on using mockups on your layout and be sure to read Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine for more great tips every month. Online forever free.


It's all about the Aussie dollar and of course the RBA. In less than 30 minutes we will get that all-important RBA case rate decision. We are going to take you live now to Carsten Scott, who's outside RBA headquarters. He's joined by Mark Bailey from FIG Securities over to you, Carsten. Leigh Ann, thank you so much. Welcome to a wet, not so windy but very wet Reserve Bank forecourt. Mark Bailey from Equasio, welcome to you. Lots of push-pull factors, just that trade surplus story that's a better than expected one, goes some way to data offsetting what was a disappointment on the retail sales front, even annualized 2. something percent off. So not looking rosy there, but it's all about macro pru, is it not, by the Reserve Bank and perhaps some commentary on that today. Yeah, I think you'd be looking for some commentary on the on the macro potential regulations. Also, don't let's not forget as well the financial stability review comes in next Thursday as well. So you probably see a bit of commentary around that as well, but it's going to be interesting to see and I think they're going to have to sit on their hands to wait and see what actually happens, what the impacts are of this macro potential. Obviously focusing very much on the interest only part, reducing that to 30% of the books and they historically over the last 12 to 18 months that's been running around about 40 to 42%. So there's going to be a bit of an impact there. Let's face it, they had a choice just a week or so ago when they made that announcement as to whether they would have further clamped down on the investor loan book part of the market now. Shane Oliver from Manpe Capital Investors saying today, it should have been a 5% threshold. 10% let them off with a smile and some. Is it too little, too late? Has the horse bolted with these prices now at such elevated levels? It's quite difficult to get it back and again, I think macro potential is the right way. We were talking about it last month when we sat in the same place. I think that's the right way to do it.  Because you've got home builders in Western Australia complaining about the macro potential tools. 4,000 home builders are saying this is really the most unwelcome reviews. Exactly. So do you actually get into the actual specifics of postcode very similar to New Zealand where you were targeting specific markets and I think potentially that is going to be down the line. I think the RBA is going to be pretty reluctant to do that though. It's interesting because the Treasurer has shown a willingness to be selective when it comes to tax reform with that $50 million cap essentially for small business to try to foster that. But equally on the other side of the divide, people are saying it's distorted the market. It'll create a disincentive to grow above that level. So if they can do it on the fiscal footing, is it a bar to say macro does the same way that the monetary policy does the same sort of a selective ring fencing? Look, I think you can do it. And you've seen the Reserve Bank of New Zealand do exactly the same. So there are blueprints. I think the regulatory authorities here, whether that's APRA, ASIC and the RBA together will be probably reluctant to go down that path. They've historically been reluctant to use macro potentials. So it's kind of a slow course down that trajectory. But I think the Australian market is so different in different regional centres and different regional capitals that you have to do that. Go global. Let's look at the 10-year in the U.S. and let's wonder to ourselves the cost of funding for the big four out of cycle moves. Now look at a when, not if scenario moving forward. How does that story in terms of the Fed and pricing by bond markets there sway now our big four in the next six months? Look, I mean, bizarrely, the actual 10-year U.S. Treasury has actually rallied. The yields come down. So it's actually pretty close to the bottom end of the $232.63 range. So what about funding costs look a little bit sort of anachronistic to call that one up? Yeah, look, I'm not sure that they have increased significantly over the last six months. But you are going to continue to see the out of cycle because you're continuing to see net interest margin compression. And you've got to remember it's the overall cost of the book, not just the marginal cost that they're putting on. So some of the longer-dated stuff maybe was done at better financing rates. But I think potentially overall you are seeing slight increases in cost of funding.  No, no. But an offset? No, I don't think so not yet. And I think obviously the key one is on the homeowner variable. And that's a key one that they will probably look at. But if it continues, it will certainly skew the RBA towards more cutting. The argument in Phil Lowe referred to this one of his first speeches for this year as governor saying, look, we do have tools to paraphrase, put foam on the runway, allow a Tim Geithner style response after things burst. But when you can see that the rate of house price appreciation in the key capital city markets, Sydney and Melbourne, is such that there is a lot now more of a pain factor to factor in where we to fall. In other words, these falls could be felt as being more precipitous than had otherwise been the case if we hadn't run up to this extent. Yeah, look, I mean, house pricing in Australia has always been a puzzle to me. You know, I came to Australia 10 years ago and, you know, started renting and, you know, couldn't accept that the house prices are where they are, but they are. And they've gone up probably, you know, 20, 30 percent in the last three or four years. So they're continuing to run away. They're continuing to see demand.   There's plenty of land to build on. But, you know, house prices have got away. And it's a case of how do you prick that bubble without causing it to completely blow up? What about a Vancouver style tax on foreign investments to the tune of about 15 percent? That did certainly pull back price action in that market. To your point, though, you don't want to crash. You want to measure orderly decline, move back from here. Would that be another tool option? Look, it's obviously a tool option. I think the Chinese investor is a bit of a furby. Not just Chinese, but just an offshore investor's pursuit. Yeah, but generally offshore investors. I don't think they're one of the key determinants. Maybe the margin and maybe that's what's driving the price is. But I think it's just the demand for housing from locals.  You know, and that's the debate. And I think that, you know, house prices, I agree, have run up rather rapidly and probably too fast too quickly. Stories of people collapsing at auctions, you know, out of the sheer will and frustration that mounts as that needle moves ever higher. I mean, quite a startling live scenario, is it not? You know, you would collapse from all that activity. It is. But you know, people have been through that, you know, the Saturday mornings that you kind of waste seeing houses, going to auctions, everything else, testing the market. You know, it is quite emotionally draining and physically draining as well. So, yeah, I can understand that that kind of collapsing. But you know, the end of the day, house prices are continuing to increase. We're not seeing any pullback. We had some strong house price data again this week and last week. So, you know, that is a key concern for the RBA. And that's what you see in the macro potentials trying to prevent further house price increases. We've got the buzz, finally, the buzz of construction around us here and out of place. And under the canopy there of the latest to rise from the ashes proposition, you've got commerce going on. The problem is it's free. Let's talk to the services economy. These are not homeless people admittedly. I'm not sure whether you can even pan around to showcase what is now a fairly established part of modern place. On that measure, does that some kind of a metaphor for the shift from a mining boom to a services flop to that degree? I mean, there's no pricing power even on display here. They're giving it away. Yeah, look, I think it's a fairly long bow to draw. But I understand kind of where you're coming from. Whoa! Okay, that's right. And in terms of, you know, the service economy and, you know, but I think it highlights the fact that a lot of businesses are still doing it tough and are still, you know, not finding it easy. I think if you go anywhere around, you know, Australia, nobody's really knocking the ball out of the park. And I think that's part of the problem that the RBA is seeing that, you know, the retail sales, you know, highlighted that it's still tough in the real economy and you're not seeing the jobs growth part-time versus full-time. No wage growth. So it's a pretty, you know, tepid back job. And you say they will cut not today, but just your prediction finally, when might it be Melbourne Cup Day November? Yeah, potential, maybe even a bit before, maybe August. But I think, you know, that the Australian economy will demonstrate that it's still on weak ground and on a weak footing. And that, you know, the next move is further cuts. And I know that's not consensus, but, you know, and the RBA is continuing to talk very positively last half-full. So, you know, we'll probably need some pretty weak inflation data to trigger that. Watch this space. Thank you so much for the setup to today's show. Appreciate it. There she goes again. We'll get some sandbags at the ready in the event, as we might have predicted. The wind and the rain, but a little bit of our sun peeks its way through those clouds. And


Gender equality is a fundamental human right. The empowerment of women and girls around the world, including those on the move, is a necessary foundation for the peaceful and sustainable future. As noted in the recent IPCC report on climate impacts, adaptation and vulnerability, migration decision-making and outcomes in response to climate risks are strongly mediated by gender, social context, power of dynamics and human capital. While women tend to be disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate changes for reasons ranging from lack of access to resources or limited decision-making power to cultural norms, women are also forces of positive change in their families and communities for climate adaptation and mitigation, while building resilience and leading sustainability initiatives. The intersectionality of climate change, environmental migration and gender inequalities is a clear example of why collective action is needed and why the empowerment of women is key for sustainable development. We need women's voices in the design, decision-making and implementation of policies and programs related to climate change and migration. We need gender-responsive and human rights-based approaches in addressing migration in the context of climate change. More broadly, we need everyone to be involved in all spheres and at all stages in advancing gender equality and the rights of migrants of all genders.


This is Professor Gerald Friedman, Department of Economics at the University of Massachusetts and we're going to talk today about American history, approaches to it and approaches to conflict, the different ways that history can be studied according to what you think the major area of conflict within society is. However you approach history, whatever your vision, there's a periodization of history that comes out of your vision of what are the major things to understand in history. Conventionally American history is studied in terms of periodization by president. So we talk about the age of Jackson, Andrew Jackson in the 1820s and 30s. We talk about the Roosevelt administration which often gets blurred between, do you mean Teddy? What do you mean Franklin? We talk about the 60s, the Kennedy Johnson years. Periodization in this way comes out of the sense that oh America is a united country, everything's basically okay and the only issue is how we get richer and richer over time. So we got richer under Jackson because we spread west, we got richer under Roosevelt because we dealt with industrial problems, we got richer in the 60s and 70s because we laid the groundwork with improvements in education for the rise of technology and the internet. Whatever, this is all part of the triumphalist vision of American history, Whig history. We're not going to say much more about that for right now. There are issues for triumphalism in terms of the sources of economic growth, how did the factor endowments change, how did technology change, but they're not issues that involve conflict. It's kind of weird because you scratch beneath the surface and obviously there were conflicts here. Why did America get bigger under Jackson? Why did we get all that land in the west? Because we drove the Indians away. It's like you can't really talk about history in this way, but people do and we will talk about that throughout the rest of the semester. There are other visions of American history in terms of conflict that are more interesting to me at least. The oldest of these is sectionalism, which goes back to Frederick Jackson Turner and the Frontier thesis, which you may have heard about in high school or in college courses. Frederick Jackson Turner was a historian trained at Johns Hopkins, taught at Wisconsin, and then at Yale. He was an interesting guy. If you ever get a chance, read a biography of him. He was neat. His vision is American history, is shaped by conflict between sections. And what's interesting in his vision, which is post-reconstruction, and Jackson Turner was part of the, you know, bring the South back into the country move of the progressive era. So he didn't see the conflict as north-south. He saw it as east-west. Between, excuse me, between the old areas of the east, New England, the old cotton south and Virginia in South Carolina, and the emerging west, which was more democratic, more open. He had a lot of students and his work has had a lot of influence over the decades. And you still hear people talking all the time about sectionalism, issues of sectionalism, geographic expansion, conflicts over the tariff and land policies. This is a vision of America, which sees Americans as united within section, but divided between sections. It's a lot easier for American politicians to deal with than some of the other issues that we'll be talking about. Next, for example, is race. Oh, this is a tough one. We're a country that was settled by whites and Africans. Even defining these is no easy thing. Those who see racial conflict as the key to American history look at issues like do all whites as a group benefit from oppressing blacks? Issues of constant search to discover who's white, who's black. The Irish used to be black, now they're white. Jews were black, now they're white.  Well, I guess Japanese are white. Cambodians are black? I don't know. But these are all ongoing issues. And then, of course, you have Michael Jackson, was he white or black? The thing is, if whiteness is socially constructed, both in terms of who's white and what it means to be white, what sort of privileges go with being white, then you get to a whole set of chronological issues like when did this happen? What is the significance of slavery, the significance of emancipation, the significance of segregation, the significance of the civil rights movement? Similar issues involve if you see the major conflict in society being over gender, men against women. And you say, oh, no way. But every human society has been divided into at least two genders, some more than two, but at least two men and women, often with different roles, with different privileges. If you think gender does not involve privilege, then try walking in high heels for a while. Or once I stood outside my 8am class and asked people coming in what time they got up in the morning. The women got up about an hour earlier than the men because they washed their hair and put more effort into dressing. A lot of the men said, oh, I sleep in my clothes. They get up at 7.30 for an 8 o'clock class. Some of them looked at it. Law and chronology again become the site for investigation. When did women get the right to own property? Married women property acts were passed in northern states in the 1830s and 40s. Before that, married women didn't own property. Unmarried women, the property was controlled by their fathers or their guardians. These are historical issues, issues of conflict. Women were largely excluded from the Social Security Act of 1935. They kind of forced their way into it, getting some of the benefits of it, but it took a while. Law as a site of male privilege is a historic construct and gives a chronology to our understanding of history. Then, coming more directly from the Marxist tradition, there's a vision of history as the playing out of different social structures of accumulation. Every society is organized to allow a particular elite group to dominate the surplus, what is produced over and above what's needed for immediate consumption and to maintain the society. How does this play out?  Capitalism doesn't work that way. Capitalism, you hire workers for a time, you have to get them to work hard, like in the economics department, we're making sure that Dan over there works really hard working with films, and then we sell the product that they produce. Well, we mess up on that one. We're not going to be selling these videos, but I guess we sort of are because they're part of the course that we sell, and presumably what we sell is worth more than the money we put into hiring the workers.  If yes, then you're a good capitalist and you're going to reinvest, hire more labor, produce more stuff, more videos, more courses, and get richer and richer, which means all the time you're looking for new markets, you're looking for new workers, and you have to drive those workers. You need an ideological apparatus. You need laws. You need ways of relating social institutions, social structures to facilitate accumulation. A thing about capitalism is it's a way more flexible system. It's constantly changing, constantly growing. That's why human population is so much richer than 200 years ago, because capitalism is constantly pushing for faster accumulation and reinvestment, unlike feudalism and slavery. That means that social structures of accumulation break down faster. They generate more conflict, more problems, they break down, and you need to build new ones. That's happening all the time under capitalism. It happened in the 1890s in the United States. It happened in the 1930s and new social structures were erected. It may be happening now, and we'll see what comes out of it. That part we'll see in the future. The understanding of the past parts we'll see in this course, and I look forward to talking about that with you some more. Thank you, and have a nice day. Bye-bye.


Hello everybody! Watch this video to find out how to recover data from a RAID system if the LSI-9284i4i controller breaks down, and how to retrieve data from a crashed RAID 5. As we all know, the controller is an important element of a disk RAID, and when it fails, the whole storage system is out of work. The RA is crashed, and you lose access to all of your data stored inside it. A RAID controller may break down due to hardware errors, various kinds of damage, physical defects, and even as a result of wrong configuration. If you encountered this kind of problem, I'll show you how to restore access to the lost data. For better understanding of how the RAID technology works, let's explore the process of creating it on this specific device. This can also come in handy at a later time when you try to restore the RAID pairability. You will know how to rebuild it in order to retrieve important information. Let's find out how to create a RAID using the controller's BIOS. To access it, press the key shortcut Ctrl H when the server is booting. If the previous RAID configuration still remains on the disks, the system will identify it and suggest restoring it. If you don't need that, just press the corresponding keys C, yes, and so on. After that, the Web BIOS LSI window opens. Click on the Start button to continue. After that, go to the Configuration Wizard. In the Wizard window, choose New Configuration and click Next. You will see a warning that the current configuration will be cleared and all data will be lost. Click Yes to continue. Now choose the RAID configuration method, manual or automatic, and click Next. Select the drives for this RAID and click Add to Array. Now the hard disks will be added to a virtual group. Then click Accept DG to confirm. And click Next again. Now add this group to Span by selecting the option Add to Span, and then click Next. At the next stage, choose RAID level, strip size, read and write policy settings, cache and other options. When all settings are ready, click Update Size, Accept, and Next. Click Accept and Yes to save this configuration. Now click Yes one more time to initialize drives. This will start fast initialization, but if you need to wipe the drives completely, select Slow Initialize and click Go. Now the RAID system is ready. The last step to take is to restart the computer. Further actions will include drive partitioning, access configuration, and so on. If you lost access to the disk array because of controller breakdown, there are a few ways of retrieving your data. For starters, you need to make sure if there is a problem with the controller. As soon as you know that the controller is out of order, you can start the recovery operations. The first data recovery method to use if the LSI92804I4A controller is dead is to connect the disks to a properly working controller. For this method, you will need one more controller of the same model or a compatible one which enables you to import the previously existing RAID configuration. First of all, explore this aspect and make sure that this operation is safe for your data. Wrong actions may erase the disk completely, along with your precious files. Visit our channel for a detailed video tutorial about transferring hard disks to a new controller. Find the link in the description below. The second method to recover data involves specialized data recovery software which can work with RAID systems. Hetman RAID Recovery supports all popular RAID types in its file systems and various RAID patterns used by RAID controllers. It will rebuild the damaged RAID with the available hard disks so that you'll be able to retrieve important files. For data recovery, you need to connect all the hard disks to the motherboard of a Windows computer. As you can see, the program has rebuilt the crashed RAID automatically. Depending on the RAID level, it can also rebuild the RAID system even if one or several disks are missing. If your motherboard has less setup hours of power connected than necessary, you can use additional adapters and expansion cards like the ones shown on the screen. Select the RAID in the Drive Manager and check if the program managed to rebuild it correctly. It shows brief information about its parameters. If everything is correct, right-click on the volume and choose Open. After that, choose the scan type – Fast Scan or Full Analysis. For most simple cases, Fast Scan is enough and it takes less time. In my case, the program has coped with the task easily. It has rebuilt the RAID automatically and found all the files which were stored on this disk array. It also displays deleted files which are marked with the right cross. Select all the items you want to recover and click the Recovery button. Specify where to save the data, choose the disk and folder and click Recover again. When the recovery process is complete, you'll see all the files in the specified directory. If the program can't find the missing files after the Fast Scan, then go for Full Analysis. To do it, return to the main menu. Right-click on the volume and choose Analyze the Can. Full Analysis. Choose the file system type. You can uncheck the option for Content Aware Analysis as it will make the process go faster. If you still can't find the necessary files, run Full Analysis again but this time with the Content Aware option enabled. In some situations, the program may fail to rebuild the RAID automatically. It can happen when the service information on the disk is erased so the program cannot identify parameters of the crashed RAID. In such cases, the RAID constructor with the manual build feature will help you. This tool will save the date when the disk beginning is erased, together with the information about the array parameters. This is what typically happens when disks are connected to another controller and the previous configuration is erased, when the RAID is rebuilt or when the disks are initialized. After initialization, data will be erased completely. If you know the array parameters, start the constructor. Choose manual mode. Next. specify the array type, block order size, add the disk that you used to include and replace the missing disks with empty drives by clicking the plus button. You may have to specify the offset, which tells you where the beginning of the disk is located. One more thing to choose is the disk order. When you give all the parameters you know, you will see your RAID and if all information is correct, you will see its folders here. Fill in all properties and click Add. With that, the RAID system will appear in the drive manager. Now, stop the scan, search for files and recover the ones you need. Summing up, we can say that recovering data from RAID may seem quite challenging, but as long as you follow this tutorial and avoid careless steps, you'll be able to restore access to the disk array and recover the lost files successfully. Also, you should always remember to backup your files and this will protect you against many unpleasant situations. That is all for now. I hope this video was useful.

So the line-up for heat number 13 off the inside in red is Leon Madsen. Gate number two in blue is Dan Buehly. Gate number three in white is Bartosz Marzlik and Patrick Dudeck off the outside in the yellow helmet colour. Good looking line-up, Chris. Oh, it is a smashing looking line-up and with Leon Madsen finding his feet in his last ride and off the inside gate, that's really going to mix it up. Dan Buehly is not going to want to put himself under pressure with another bad ride with one heat to go. Of course, even if he finished last here, he could still make nine points, but he'd be under pressure then. He would indeed, so he'd be looking to pick up a point at the very minimum. Gate number two, when we looked at the gate success just a few moments earlier, actually, he's working nicely. So, and we're seeing points scoring pretty even right across from gates one through four. So, every opportunity to get amongst the points from irrespective of where you're going to start from. Start, Mark, you're having a close look at Leon Madsen as he's doing in the previous race. Can't leave him alone, can't leave him alone. Gate number 13 then, smashing looking line-up. It tapes up now, away we go. What a start from Buehly, but it's Madsen who gets there. Bartosz-Smalsik cutting back to the inside. What a first corner from Smalsik, but Leon Madsen has responded superbly well. Fars himself to the front, and Madsen all of a sudden really coming on strong here. Durek is in the third place with Buehly now, relegated to the back. That's disappointing for Buehly who started in high style with consecutive race wins, but look at Madsen go. Once he hits the front, we suspected he had speed because he was lurking when he was in traffic, but he's fast in front here. Yeah, he's heads up after a good second ride, third ride, sorry, and he's now out front again. He's just growing in confidence. I tell you what, Bartosz-Smalsik, not his usual self, he lifted again off the start and didn't get the momentum going into the first turn. All opened up for him when they all move widely, just like around the inside. And opportunist move, really, but a couple of important points for him. Neither there's Buehly coming on strong here, trying to get up to the inside of Durek, and Buehly's come through in the third place. A handy point for him, but for Leon Madsen, back-to-back race wins. Wins hit 13 in fine style, so he's won 12 and 13, picks up six points there, and two consecutive races, so in Madsen, all of a sudden moving on to nine and set for the semifinals. When he was down in the dumps and moaning and groaning a touch, all of a sudden it may well be a very different attitude now. Three points for Leon Madsen out in front, Bartosz-Smalsik, two points for him. Dane Buehly picks up a handy point in third place, and Patrick Durek misses out in heat number 13. Just shows you how quickly things can change, Chris, because such three points from two rides, nine points from four, brilliant stuff. We see there that it's Buehly that makes a decent start, but Smalsik lips when he drops the clutch, then the bike snakes, and then it's Leon Madsen with all the speed down the straight, but it's Buehly that just collected the rut, moved much wider than he wanted to, of course, give Madsen a nice, clear run around the corner, but Smalsik is looking rattled, he's looking a little bit unsettled. Of course, last time in Malilla wasn't his best round, of course, not actually making the final for the first time this year, so are we seeing a chink in his armor? Well, possibly, but some are... Only a small one? Only a tiny one, yeah. But a good move later on by Dan Buehly to come through to steal third place away from Patrick Durek. He'll be pleased with that, just to get himself back on the score chart and moving on to seven points.
