Good morning. I want to start by acknowledging the enormous amount of heartache and empathy for mothers who are feeling for families in Israel. We're dealing with an enormous amount of pain and suffering following the heinous acts of terror committed against innocent civilians over the weekend. What we're seeing is barbaric, the senseless killing of women, babies, and the elderly by Hamas. We watch in horror and the violence is unspeakable. I reached out to Rabbi Toby Weisman and asked her to share with our fellow Jewish faith leaders to give our support, unwavering support to them through what is an incredibly difficult time. Later today, I'll be participating in a briefing with the White House and the nation's governors to better understand what we're doing as a country as well as what we can do as states to assist our allies. Next, we're going to update you on climate resiliency projects as we've continued to work on over the last several years, building on what we started after Tropical Storm Irene, and that clearly needs to be prioritized in the years ahead as we adapt to a changing climate. When it comes to responding to climate change, my team's philosophy has been to work on efforts to lower emissions while also preparing us for impacts of more powerful and severe storm events. To be clear, even if we're to fully eliminate greenhouse gas emissions in Vermont, the impacts of climate change will continue. So only focusing on emissions without also addressing resiliency isn't enough. We have to do both. Over the past several years, my administration has proposed and secured historic investments in these areas. As a reminder, when we received ARPA funding, I asked the legislature to appropriate about a quarter billion dollars for EV infrastructure, weatherization, flood resiliency, and more. Unfortunately, we did face some opposition from those who didn't want us to focus on resiliency work, but I think this summer's flooding shows why it's so important because the severe weather events will continue. So as we recover and rebuild, we need to be thinking about adaptation as well as resiliency. And in some cases, we need to think big. And my team is doing just that in coordination with our federal delegation as we seek supplemental funding from Congress. Secretary Moore will go into more details, but now that we're a couple months out from the worst of the floods, I thought it was important to update our monitors on the work we've done and what needs to be done ahead of us. So with that, I'll turn it over to Secretary Moore. Good afternoon. In the context of our changing environment, one in which we're seeing more severe storms as evidence this summer, but that can also be easy to forget extended periods of drought, we were much of the state of Vermont was actually in a moderate drought condition at the end of June of this year, which seems impossibly far behind us. Heat waves both earlier in the summer, thinking back to May as well as later into the fall and increased health risks from air pollution and disease. Vermont is continuing to take steps to better cope with and effectively recover from this wider range of environmental conditions to be able to anticipate, prepare for and respond to extremes. It is the essence of becoming more resilient. And there are both infrastructure and natural systems components of thinking about resilience in the face of climate change. Vermonters and Vermont communities need access to clean water, safe roads and bridges that are able to withstand high flows and affordable energy efficient housing. Vermont's wildlife, both animals and plants, species and ecosystems require connected habitats that support their ability to adapt and move across the landscape. That said, resilience is not synonymous with eliminating all risk. And it's important to keep in mind we can't simply snap our fingers and become resilient. It requires a long term commitment and a workable plan. Obviously the path of every storm, rainfall amounts and what debris ends up where is different each time. So it can be difficult to make a direct comparison between events. But all indications are that the programs and projects undertaken to repair damage created by tropical storm Irene and improve resiliency performed very well this summer. In the coming years, it'll be imperative to continue to build on this work and implement the programs and projects both to build back better and make proactive investments that enhance resilience. To my mind, this work can be organized into four broad categories. Investing in nature based solutions, flood proofing and hardening existing infrastructure that needs to remain in vulnerable locations. Designing and maintaining reliable infrastructure not only in current conditions, but in light of future climate conditions and being ready with fast effective response and recovery. Bride a little bit more detail on each of these as well as some examples. I'll start with nature based solutions, which is really focused on conservation and restoration of different areas of the landscape. Things like protecting and restoring wetlands and floodplains, giving rivers room to move and spill over their banks without causing catastrophic flooding, as well as conserving large woodland tracks to ensure forests remain for us, both the stoke away stormwater and protect biodiversity. A great example of this is Water Street River Park in Northfield. Flooding along the Dog River during tropical storm Irene damaged 18 homes in Northfield's Water Street neighborhood. The town worked with effective property owners and FEMA to secure flood buyouts that helped homeowners move out of harm's way and allowed the town to acquire about five acres of contiguous, contiguous floodplain area right outside the downtown. That five acre area is now known as Water Street River Park and has walking paths used by community members as well as their dogs and access to the river for wading and fishing. The park is also reduced flood risk and enhance the downtown. Flood proofing or hardening of infrastructure on the other hand are changes made to reduce or eliminate flood damage to buildings, including things like water and wastewater facilities. An example here is investments made in the Waterbury State Office complex following tropical storm Irene. Specifically, all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems in the complex were moved from basement areas to higher floors, and the basement was then filled and structurally reinforced, so that now the lowest floor elevation in those historic buildings is above the 500 year flood level. As a result, the Waterbury State complex experienced only minimal damage during the 20 July 2023 flooding. It was fully open and operational within two weeks time. Thinking about infrastructure further, we need to think about how we make design decisions with not only current but future climate conditions in mind and keeping up with needed maintenance and improvements to existing infrastructure assets. Things like ensuring the reliability or removal of the hundreds of dams throughout Vermont, as well as replacing undersized culverts and bridges with wider, sometimes referred to as bankful width structures that in turn can limit damage during flood events. One need not look any further than Vermont Route 100 and 107 in the Bethel-Killington Stockbridge area. Following Irene, these roadways needed to be fully reconstructed, and as part of that work, damaged or destroyed bridges were replaced by new structures with increased waterway openings. In addition, hundreds of tons of large diameter rock was used to reinforce particularly vulnerable sections of the roadway. And although 107 required temporary closures during the July and early August flooding, the roads reopened quickly and required relatively modest repairs. And finally, fast and effective response is essential to supporting the safety and well-being of Vermonters in the face of climate change. Some of the best examples here can feel relatively mundane, but are important. Things like established collaborative relationships between A&R River engineers, Town Road foremen, and the Agency of Transportation, and developing emergency permitting guidelines and the ability to wave 30-day public comment periods during a declared state of emergency. Ultimately, as the governor noted in his remarks, we know we need to continue to work to curb our greenhouse gas emissions and invest in the programs and projects that will make Vermont more resilient. The team at A&R, including our Climate Action Office, helps improve resiliency through science-based monitoring and analysis, information sharing, public outreach and technical assistance, and providing grants and cost-share opportunities to support the implementation of sustainable, effective projects. What I hope you will come away from is a clear sense that we have a good understanding of the work that needs to be done to continue to improve and enhance resilience that was only reinforced by dividends paid this summer from the improved coordination, education, planning and implementation that Vermonters have engaged in since Irene. And with that, I'll turn it over to General Roy. Thank you, Madam Secretary. I'm always amazed at the governor's staff. You know, on different calls we have, I hear Secretary Moore talk about everything from wastewater treatment plants to bridges and the like. So she and Secretary of Transportation and the whole team, it's just such a pleasure to work with and as a Vermonter, it truly is a blessing, sir. So thank you for the opportunity to work with your team. A couple quick comments to make today. As we were approaching October 12th for the closure of the incident, the individual assistance program for registration, we recognize that we're getting a number of eligible applicants day after day after day. And so the stated analysis and based upon their analysis and the work with our individual assistance team, we recognize that there's probably room for additional opportunities for people to apply for assistance. So at the state's request, FEMA has approved the expansion of the individual assistance registration period to the end of the month, the 31st of October. So it's a great opportunity for us to continue to assist those who have been impacted by the disaster. I appreciate all the work that you have done in putting the word out on how to apply for FEMA assistance. We're working with the state on which the disaster recovery centers will keep open. And so there'll be more information on that to come. We do know that for the barry auditorium because of already planned areas, we're going to have to close that one. That is our busiest one. But the governor and his team are helping us find another location that will be as accessible as a barrier auditorium had been. So there might be a slight delay. We are keeping Waterbury open to the end of the week, at least to be able to serve as a buffer for that. And then we're taking a look at Ludlow to see how long that will continue to stay open as well. And as a reminder, the disaster recovery centers are not just a place for people to go to register. They're really a fair place to go when they have questions about letters they get on their eligibility so that the staff there can help them work through and negotiate what can be sometimes, unfortunately, confusing process. In addition to that, we continue to work with the state on the public assistance program. We are now at 199 applicants between small towns as large cities as well as private nonprofits. And we've already developed 649 projects for an estimated cost of $143 million. That does not include in the totality of it the agency of transportation nor buildings, grounds. So I suspect that that will most likely end up over $200 million, similar to Irene. And we're working very, very closely with the state on hazard mitigation programs. There's two programs that we work in FEMA for hazard mitigation. One is under section 406 of the Stafford Act, and that's associated with public assistance. And so it makes a damaged facility more resilient. And then 404 mitigation is looking at the totality of what could be utilized, the money that's set aside from this disaster, typically 15% of the money for disaster is set aside for the section 404 mitigation. And those can be used up for such things as buyouts, as the Secretary spoke about, as well as other projects to make make the state more resilient. And so again, we appreciate your consistency and putting out the word on ability to register for assistance from from FEMA for individuals. And at the end of the month, we'll give you a close out as to where we are. We have, by the way, provided over $21.4 million for individual assistance so far. And that does not include the direct housing mission, which we continue to work on. So thank you very much for opportunity to pass that on to you today. And I'll pass it back to the government. Sir. Thank you very much, General Roy. We'll now open up to questions. Governor, you mentioned resiliency. We have a strategic plan for emission reductions, the Global Warming Solutions Act. Do we have anything? Or do you envision any plan for resiliency? Absolutely, we're pushing forward with resiliency. And in light of the storm. For instance, I talked about thinking big. We're we're looking at and we've talked about this in press briefings previously. But in Barry, for instance, there's a section that we need to build some resiliency into that area. We need to along our whole quarter in terms of the watershed quarter from from Barry to Montelier to to Waterbury. So thinking about building out the capacity water storage area where we have a reserve where we can we can store the water to prevent further damage downstream. It's going to be important. So we'll we'll be coming going forward with that. We're working with our congressional delegation on that to secure funding to because it's it's not a it's not a small dollar issue. It's a big price tag. So do you see like a plan, though, like, you know, by this date, we need to have this many bridges that were built after such and such a date culverts replaced. We need to have these areas, these flood prone areas bought out or restored. I mean, do you see like a piece of legislation or any any tangible plan, if you will, that for monitors can see? Well, again, we will be doing this is going to be a very major part of this recovery. There is going to be other areas within this event itself that will come to light. So we'll have to see what we we are able to accomplish with some FEMA help or with some supplemental funding. It all comes down to $2. So we we know where we want to focus on at this point in time. And we'll just have to wait and see whether we have the funding to go along with that. Now to determine our next steps. Anything you want to if I might. I think it's important also to know there's a state hazard mitigation plan that's developed by Vermont Emergency Management and updated, I believe, once every four or five years, they are currently in the throes of finalizing the the most current current update. It was actually supposed to happen over the summer and was delayed by their attention to the flood events. And that sort of works in conjunction with with the programs the governor speaking to there are real opportunities following a declared disaster to sort of move us a giant step forward in terms of resilience. But that state hazard mitigation plan is kind of the lays lays the groundwork for the foundational day in day out work. We're doing a state government to improve resilience. Day over day week over week. Adding to Calvin's question, do you see in terms of creating a long term resiliency plan like this or climate resilience plan, like a legally binding mechanism like the Global Warming Solutions Act where Vermonters can sue the state if it doesn't need to use benchmarks? Again, I left something more to talk about this. But you know, part of what we've been trying to do, I think our members of the Climate Council have been trying to do is build resiliency in there. And there's been some pushback. Yeah, I mean, it's it's part of the same thing. So we haven't been successful in doing that. But I think it should be part of the part of the plan. As I as I say in the beginning, we can't just focus on emissions. We have to focus on resiliency and face reality. And I don't know as we're doing that right now. So the Global Warming Solutions Act does include some language around resilience. In particular, it tasks A&R with developing what's called the Municipal Vulnerability Index. So it's a tool that will be available by the end of this year that would allow communities to conduct a municipal municipality specific assessment of where key climate vulnerabilities are. I think the challenge in part has been we have these very explicit greenhouse gas concentration targets that are required we're required to achieve under the Global Warming Solutions Act. It's not possible to make those kind of quantitative targets when it comes to resilience, because it isn't an all or nothing proposition, right? Like there is no risk fully eliminated. It's managing our risk. So it doesn't have that same quantified set of metrics. And I think as a result doesn't receive necessarily the attention it should in the conversations about our climate work. It's been hard to get it on par with greenhouse gases or even with clean water where we have clear numeric targets that we're aiming for. Secretary Moore is going to hear up there. Also a chief recovery officer. I know you guys are both a various city council last night. So I guess it was first off and with the mayor talking about they have a $13 million budget and they have quadruple even more than that in damages. So I guess maybe after being there and hearing from people were some of your key takeaways and then also you talked about resilience and building back. What kind of idea do we maybe have for that very area specifically if you have any. Sure, I'll start and then gladly turn it over to Doug to talk further. I think it's clear that it's going to take a combination of local state and federal resources to build back in a resilient fashion that it is not reasonable to think that the community could do that kind of recovery work on their own. Nor even that the state has the resources necessary to help envision what that future could look like for Barry. I think there are components of all of the elements I talked about today. Looking for opportunities to create some nature based solutions and let the Stevens branch be able to flow out of its banks without having such catastrophic results. Thinking about flood proofing and hardening of infrastructure that is likely to remain in the flood plain so that we could have that faster recovery on the back end and then looking at some of our infrastructure designs components. We know that there's some constrictions in the Stevens branch that sort of exacerbated the flood conditions and looking at where bridges and culverts and dams as well as downstream infrastructure that may have backed water up could be modified in order to address future future flood events. Thanks Julie. Doug Farnham chief recovery officer. I would start off by saying one reason we were in Barry last night is that if you look at the debris pulled out of Barry the individual assistance awards the number of heating systems are still out of not working properly. Barry suffered roughly two and a half times the damage of the nearest community which Montpelier also had very significant damage right but Barry's metrics are all about add up to be about two and a half times. So that community was hit exceptionally hard and that's one reason it was important for us to be there last night. I think aside from the specific resiliency and river elements we we need to balance that approach with housing investments infill investments that are outside of the floodplain mitigate what we can if it has to be inside the floodplain right many of our villages and towns we're not going to be able to move that far away from the river right we're restricted on on the reality of where where we developed and we have to make the best of of the footprint that we have. So I think it's going to be important that we support Barry. I mean there is prior to the flood there was a significant housing shortage in Barry. There was a homelessness issue and this is only exacerbated that and made it more important that we tackle it. So I think approaching the community with a holistic approach that balances their housing needs with with the resiliency needs and the environmental needs and the community seemed very interested in that last night. So I do think there's there's a lot of energy and as the governor said we're going to need federal funds to make it happen. It's a big project. It's a big concept and it's not something we would be able to fund on our own. I guess speaking of the adaptation resiliency secretary Moore mentioned that part of that like hardening buildings is like Waterbury bringing our utilities above the floodplain. Do we have any sort of update of what that looks like or how that work is where that planning is going at the state office or in the capital complex and Department of Taxes. Yeah. We're moving forward. This is going to take some time to do everything that needs to be done. But but in the capital complex the buildings are coming back online. I think you saw that the History Center opened back up in 109. So things are moving forward but this still has a way to go in terms of insulation and making sure everything is safe to go in the rest of the building. So it's going to be months before that's ready to be occupied. It's it's a big price tag. Again, I don't know if we've come to full conclusion on the amount but it's significant when you especially when you add all of them together 109 133 and all the other buildings that were impacted on the note of very meeting a lot of I mean as very rebuilds. Is there anything that you guys can do to make sure that it's not gentrified and that people aren't displaced as there's a big complex, hopefully of money into the area? Yeah, no, that will obviously have to be part of the the plan forward and that's something that will work hand in hand with the city on because we want to make sure that we're protecting people. We're not trying to displace people. We're trying to help them get into the future. So, you know, in my mind, it's a phase project and making sure that we're we're have a plan in place that where we can we can move people to as we contemplate the hardening, the mitigation and so forth. And as well, I think it's important to note when I've said this before, but anything we can do upstream in terms of storage capacity, water storage in particular, will help those downstream. So when we're thinking about very big project there, we are also faced with the central garage and and what happened on the backside of the river there with the with the mobile home park and trying to determine whether we we rebuild there or not. And then we increase storage capacity to help Montpelier. So it's all connected in some way. How long do you think you'll be up here? I believe we'll be here for another two or three months. And then back to the billion. Yes. Governor speaking of resilience, we melt the powerous file of plan, sorry, the state regulators to make blackouts and think of the past by 2030. Have you seen that? And what do you think of it? I haven't seen it, but I've heard the reports. I haven't spoken to them directly about this. But building resiliency is important to all of us in different ways. And it goes to the grid as well. I think that the headlines misconstrued a bit of what I was thinking when I when I saw the headlines like we're going to bury all the lines by 2030, which at first I thought was just not possible. And so when I read further in, they're talking about, you know, building overhead line resiliency, keeping some, maybe burying some, providing for battery storage and individual homes and so forth. I think that all makes sense. But what's the price tag? Who's going to pay for it? Are all questions that need to be flushed out? And that's what the PUC will be doing. I don't know if this is a question for Will or for the governor, but with the FEMA I registration deadline extended to October 31st. What's the status of the small business administration? Thank you for bringing up our number one partner. They will they will continue on just as we have. And also, you know, while we couldn't do individual assistance in Addison because they didn't meet the indicators, they, SBA, was able to go there because the state requested them to go there. And there's several homes that were able to receive assistance from the SBA, helping them through a very difficult period. And speaking of the SBA, so they have actually exude 476 loans to both homeowners, renters and businesses. And they're currently at 22.9 million dollars. $99 million of assistance they provided as well. And so again, they'll be alongside us through the 31st of October. And is that this is so petty? Is that 1159 p.m. on October 31st or? Yeah, I would say, Sam. Yeah, yeah, through midnight. Yeah. Great point. Thank you. None of your questions here are annoying or petty. Just want to go on record. It's same. Governor, last night, the Burlington City Council passed a resolution aimed at tackling the public safety and drug crisis in part of as part of that resolution they called on lawmakers and you to walk the streets of Burlington and to visit Burlington. Is that something that that you would do? I do visit Burlington. It's part of Vermont. And. And it took a part of Vermont. And we're all in this together, pointing fingers to each other, isn't going to solve the problem. We're going to have to tackle this together. We have a plan forward that has been exacerbated by many, many different things that flooding for one pandemic, another. I think fentanyl and xylazine have complicated things because that's a border issue. So we have to we have to get help from the federal government to secure borders, cut off the supply, so to speak. That'll be helpful. But but again, the principles of how we're choosing to attack this problem remain the same. And it really is about prevention, treatment, recovery and enforcement. And we have to have all four legs of the stool in order to accomplish that. So we're a willing partner, obviously, for the entire state. And we look forward to working with them. Are you concerned with what some people perceive as a decline in the states? One of the states biggest tourist attractions in Burlington is a big economic driver. Some people are concerned businesses leaving, you know, public safety concerns. Is that something that's on your radar? Yes, absolutely. And something that, well, we identified it early. We went we had troopers available to the city early on, as you remember. There's been a couple of task forces put together to help in terms of the supply of illegal drugs into the community. So again, we're in this together and I'm concerned. But this is a countrywide problem. It's not just Burlington. It's not just Vermont. It's it's across the across the country. That is the last question.  What's your assessment of how the state's harm reduction, you know, efforts have been going with Narcan test strips, needle exchanges, etc. I mean, how where does that fit into the equation? It's all part of the solution. There's no one easy answer to this. It's from all different types of approaches. And we I was just that van yesterday with with Jenna's promise and Jenna's house. And we we we talked about harm reduction, Narcan and treatment solutions that they've incorporated that have been successful. And so again, there's no one answer to this and we need to work at this together. My colleague, Audie, asked me to ask, is there any kind of recourse or state law that renters can point to if they were displaced by the flood or had the utility cutoffs or, you know, basic flood issues and now their landlords are demanding back rent and putting evictions? I don't have the answer to that, but we can get the answers to that.  So Vermont does not currently have a requirement in leases for an out clause for natural disasters. So that's something that is used in other states. And I think we're we're assessing that it is complicated and we want to look at why if this was discussed in the past, why it wasn't added as a required element of leases. But it's definitely not an element of Vermont law currently. So there's really nothing that renters can do? Well, I think a lot of it comes down to being fact based. And if they're low income, I would say that a great option for them is to consult with legal aid and see because if I'm far from an expert on this, but if the unit didn't have utilities and wasn't habitable, then legal aid may be able to help them with recourse. But there's no automatic clause in Vermont leases that says if there was a disaster, you automatically don't have to pay rent. It's it's gets more into the weeds than that. Governor, would you support a law? I know I'm putting you on the spot here, but adding that and as a requirement. We have to take a look at it and see what the language does. And the repercussions as a result, but always willing to consider anything that protects the general public. We've got one on the phone. We'll go to Keith, Ron Harrell. Hi, so this talk of resiliency with regard to flooding, as me thinking this, where we're putting a lot of eggs in the flood basket, which makes complete sense, given what we've been dealing with. But I wondered, just given what's been going on in Canada with wildfires, we're obviously of a similar sort of geography. I'm just wondering if we have any plan or thought as to the state of possible wildfires in Vermont going into the future here? Well, we're always on on guard in some respects and watching that. We've done that for probably decades, it started with our fire towers, as a matter of fact. So this isn't unique, but it has become more of an issue as we've seen the wildfires across Canada and in the U.S. as well. Any more? Vermont has received funding under the bipartisan infrastructure law that's gone into the Department of Forest Parks and Recreation to specifically update our Forest Action Plan and some of our contingencies around wildland fires. And we'll be bringing on an additional staff, limited service staff person, actually, to assist in that work. You're right, Keith, in flagging that that resilience goes well beyond just just flooding wildfires are certainly a concern. Wildfires here tend to look different than I think they do in in northern Canada. We tend to have smoldering fires that stay underground, but that makes them no less concerning and there is need for strategies to address them as we continue to contemplate what our climate future will look like. We don't at this point in time. We haven't just approved yesterday the extension. We need to get an assessment from the state as to how long they would like us to have us here. I do understand that there are challenges with the location we're at because it's going to be turned into a haunted house. And so not quite the scenario we want to have set up. So if we're going to stay in love, though, we'll probably have to find another location. And when you say, so I know you got to move out of the very other time because of the hockey games, but it would be another location in Berry. Do you think? Our intent is it being Berry because that is our largest produce in DRC. Cool. Thank you. So where do we stand with the FEMA trailers in Montpelier? Timeline for those. And then also. There were some in the Upper Valley, if I'm not mistaken, right? So. We're working with residents who are both in Windsor and Lamoille counties to find locations for them. And if not, we've got two other avenues that direct lease and the multifamily lease and repair programs. For the Montpelier site, we had a design in place. We worked with the C on it. There were some slight modifications they wanted us to make to the footprint we had. So we've redrawn it. We provided to him yesterday and we're meeting with them on Friday to hopefully go final on that. Taking a look at the infrastructure, et cetera, to see where we're at. So we recognize that weather is getting colder and time is running out. So we're we're very hopeful that by the end of this week will be in a good place to to start moving forward. And when you expect. We're still hoping, you know, for before the end of the year, December timeframe, you know, once once once they start, you know, they move pretty quickly. And are there still, what is it, seven trailers that are stationed? Yes. Yeah. I think there's one here and I think there's six six down at the staging area. So obviously we can move very quickly for the first ones. Yeah. And it only takes two days to get those units up from the staging area that the rat down south. A couple of different places they have them at. There's one, I think, in Frederick. And then also we have a large location in Alabama as well. So but once they get them on the roads, it's a pretty quick turn. And they are, as I mentioned before, they're all built for northern climates. So no challenges there. Thanks. So have an update as to how many people still don't have heat or haven't been contacted. Where where we stand with. I don't believe it's changed a whole lot from last week. But we're trying to pull that information together as we we're still getting calls thanks to all of you. And we're getting calls to the governor's office. So we're putting them into the system. About 250 or 200. It's over. It's it's probably closer to the 250 mark. The status of the front row building in Montpelier. I don't know. Good question. I don't I don't have the answer to that. I'm not sure that FEMA does either. They're on they're on their own, so to speak. So do you know what the situation is at the Postal Service. Same. I think it's it's aligned with the federal building. So I don't I just don't have the answer to that. I think they have a general services operation within the state government that they're the ones holding the cards at this point. Governor one of the judges you appointed Justin Jiren over in County County. So we're getting a lot of flag from law enforcement over there for releasing felons, including drug traffickers with little or no bail. Does this give you any pause to your your future judicial appointments to be asking them in particular? What's your plan for that? Yeah, well, we have been asking all of the all those I've interviewed what their plan is in that regard. So that'll be ongoing. Did you make a mistake with with him in that regard? You think I don't believe so. I think that I have to have faith in his judgment and what he's doing. And I don't know anything about the specific cases, but but I think he made it to the next level to become a judge because I have faith in his his integrity and his ability to make those decisions. So I will have to acquiesce to him on that. All right. Thank you all very much.


Welcome back. Anna and Penelope are taking a tour with DC Ducks. In this lesson we are looking for prepositions. Listen for in, on, at, under, and over. Some important prepositions of place. Penelope, the Lincoln Memorial is coming up on your left. You're going to love my Lincoln Memorial fun fact. Oh, please tell us. On a wall inside the memorial, the word future was carved wrong. They carved future. Well, we all make mistakes. Yeah, but this mistake was carved in stone. Ugh, you're right. That is pretty bad. Here's another dollar. More fun facts, please. Over bridges, the water looks so pretty from here. Penelope, this is amazing. A minute ago, we were riding along the river, and now we're riding in the river. Hey, we're passing by the Pentagon on our right. Penelope, you love riding over the water on a bridge, but I love riding under a bridge in a boat. Anna, look, an airplane is flying right over our heads. Wow, this is the closest I've ever been to an airplane in flight. Well, I've been inside a flying airplane, but not outside of an airplane as it flies over my head. And now we're driving out of the water. I still can't believe this thing drives hand sails. I know. It's amazing. After we ride along these railroad tracks, you'll see my favorite part of the tour. The U.S. Treasury, where they make money. That young man is making a lot of money, too. Did you hear these prepositions? As you watch more, look for Inside and Outside. Oh, look, the U.S. Capitol is coming up. I have a great fun fact about the U.S. Capitol. What is it? There are tunnels under the Capitol. They connect the Capitol and office buildings of lawmakers. I bet they built them years ago for secret reasons. No, the lawmakers did not want to walk around outside in bad weather. We're back at Union Station. Do you want to know a creepy fun fact about Union Station? The creepier, the better. Many years ago, inside Union Station, there was a funeral home. A funeral home? You mean for dead people? Do you know another kind of funeral home? No. Well, I've got to run. Thanks for giving us a great tour. Captain, that was awesome. And your son is a great tour guide. What son? Him. I've never seen that boy in my life. See ya, ladies. In this lesson, did you learn about prepositions? Here's a list of all the prepositions used in this lesson. Wow, that's a lot. I know. Let's not read them. Let's sing them. Hit it, boys. Take it away, singers. Sins about across a head around, behind by four.


And it's time to mash, boys. Did he all? What wins? I win. It's my win. Let's go! You should have used your skybound art, I guess. How's it going everybody? Dottodoy here back with some more Grandblue fantasy versus online ranked matches. And in today's video, we're going to be checking out the newest addition to the game, Zoey. Now this character has been so much fun for me to try and learn. Basically, her entire gimmick is that she can control dragons, she can send it out to do different moves, all sorts of stuff like that, and wherever the dragon is, you can also do some other moves from there. Very familiar to other puppet styles of gameplay you've probably seen in other fighting games that you've played. And also like those cases, this is a character that very much excels in wake-up situations or just mix-ups, really just creating very strong offensive scenarios for us. So there's situations like I can call in a dragon that they have to block, but if I grab them beforehand, the dragon will still spit that laser out and I can actually combo from that. There's multiple different instances of stuff like that happening. It's really, really just the most fun part about this character. So with all that said, we're going to be hopping online, seeing what we can get done with her. If you enjoy the video, let me know down below in the comments or just by liking the video. And now let's see what we can get done in these ranked matches. Okay, so our first game, are we going to let the whole intro rock? I appreciate it. Nice. All right, so this is literally going to be my first online match with Zoey, so it's going to be interesting trying to put into practice some of those concepts, because a lot of what I learned with this character was basically set play kind of stuff, or just Okie related. So a lot of, it depends on how the person wakes up or chooses to step right. Forgot you could do that. Zoey also does not have a DP. I got to remember that. Oh, bit of lag. That's fine. Got him. Had a run up with the grab. Set the lightning down. Oh, nice. We even canceled the pressure there. That was sick. All right. All right. So far, so good. Let me back up through a little bit of dragon. Oh, you did not just dodge my dragon like that. All right, set down the lightning field. Never mind. I'm going to charge up. I need some dragon stacks. I feel like they did not want to let me get that better. Oh, and I just dashed walk right into it. That's crazy. You would expect me to have a little bit. Oh, I didn't, I wasn't able to dodge that right. Dragon, keep me safe. No, the clean jump over it. Nice overhead. Now that time I'm not falling for it. Oh, we're over it. Right. We're completely gone. You might hit my dragon, but that's about it. Love to see it. Oh, he blocked the low. He's got the training mode experience. Yes. The dodge was not enough. Set down the lightning. You don't want to cross that path. You did not want to cross that line in the sand. All right. But now he's going to get crazy. Watch that. He's coming right in. I'm a DP. Sick. Why didn't I do what I practiced? Oh, wow. Interrupted. Okay. Wow. That move was kind of, I didn't even see that move in trading mode. Look at that rage. I probably don't get anything off that, but I wouldn't expect you. That is sick. Nice armor. Put it up at just the right time. You mind if I DP out of here? No, that's, it's not actually a DP. I got to remember that there's no invincibility. I just, I wanted to see if I could use it as a get out tool. Like right here, I'm thinking of doing it again. Oh, it just brought me in front. Tell me that wasn't confirmed. Bit of lag. I don't think the cinematic was supposed to look like that. How about this? How about, how about we both admit that I'm the dragon king? Oh, please tell me that kills. Didn't, that's fine. I got dragon stacks. Whoa. The dragon from behind. We put the sword away real quick. I don't need them. Look at them go, dude. They just won me a whole game. Oh, and I did rank them. That's crazy. You would have never thought to see it. Oh, that was sick. Oh, I tried to do the lightning. No, dragon. What are you doing? I know you've been doing nothing but helping me, but I need more help. Come in. Oh, I hit by the second one. I'm trying to, trying to watch out for that grab, but I'm still going to get him in. Oh, didn't go for anything. Oh, I should have just dropped the lightning. See, that was one of those oaky things. My computer never hit back when I ran up like that. The computer is definitely not built the same. You guys are not the same. I'm about to do it again if you keep hitting me like this, bro. I'm about to become the dragon knight. All right. You asked for it. You're getting hit again. Why you just got to back off me when I have that bar? I'm just going to keep spamming it. Cut him in half. Again, we're going to throw the dragon out. How about we do the same? Oh, never mind. Hold on. That was tricky. Odds are he runs up and throws me. Oh my goodness. Watch that move. Watch that move. It's going to, yeah, there's the throw. Throw yourself. OK, so game one goes to us. I kind of felt like that was the second round, but we are just taking our sweet time. It's a good thing that we don't have to stay in here for too much longer because I am definitely nice. I got to remember that move is armored. I could just get out of here. I'd appreciate it. OK. I don't want to take your thunder speaking of thunder. Oh, got him. Oh, my moves are cooled out. No. I don't know why I went with the X version of the lightning dragon. That was my fault. No, that's not going to hit. No. All right. OK, here's what we're going to do. We're just going to block back up dragon block. And then yeah, you got hit by the second one. And the mediums come flying out. That was actually a very sloppy finish on my part, but we had the health lead. I was getting crazy. Game one or set one actually goes to Zoe. We got it. We got to rank back up, dude. All right. Well, we had to know this one was going to come. Eventually it's time for the Zoe mirror match. I'm actually kind of curious as to how this one's going to be. Neither of us have true reversals. So we both just kind of see what setups you have. OK, OK. We're playing differently. All right. All right. Grab. Yeah. Oh, that you said that. OK. I didn't know. All right. That move you see right there. I probably mentioned that in the intro, but that's just us charging our dragons. All right. Went for the low. Nice grab. I thought he'd fear the low overhead. Whoa. Whoa. Why are you running up like that? Damn. That is OK. I should have blocked. Should have took that one low. Love to see it. Why? I messed up. That's bad. He's going to block that. And I'm probably dead. Where am I getting grabbed is all I'm wondering. I don't have any. I press the button. He didn't have any. Oh, wait. I had I built up more dragon power. I just didn't even think about it. All right. Decent game one though. We can improve. We are not built the same. I am not even thinking about starting with that. Nice. I just got to hold that. Hold the defense. Hold the line. Yes. Got caught midair. I dodged behind the dragon. Nice. We blocked it. Teched. Oh, why did my super come out? No. My anti air. Just do it. Just do it. Just do it. Just do it. Just do it. See what happens. Whatever. At this point. Yes. Oh, I was playing so good. And then I just did it. I just lost it all. I tried to anti air with super and missed the input. OK. Well, eventually we got the super to come out. That was a close game. All right. You know what? We're just going to start with the way he's been starting with. That wasn't even what he started with. Nice low. I can appreciate it. I went for another grab. Oh, my dodges are supreme. That is so cheap. That is literally cheap.  Overhead. Odges aren't supreme anymore. Odges looking pretty bad. Decent damage for that combo, honestly. No. I don't want to lose. I decided I'm not losing. I'm losing. That was what I wanted to do, dude. That super is so good for that. Yeah. I couldn't really block there with the black dragons. Yo, red eyes. Wait, I got my outro skipped that whole time. That's crazy. I didn't know that.  I could use the thumbnail. That was a bad use of the dragon call. Oh, my dragon just wasted my bar dragon. Why? It wasn't supposed to be like that. I'm sick. Oh, where's my grab? Oh, that could have changed things. Watch the grab. Watch the drive. Watch the offense. Where's my super? All right, we should be fine. Oh, we're actually not fine. That did not hit. Dragon didn't chip. The crops up. I was trying. I was going to try to poke out with crouching medium, but then I decided he blocked the first ones. I was like, all right, two play. That spaces you so well. Don't know why I dashed into that. Oh, nice tech. Oh, and it still anti-ed me from that far. Don't charge your dragon. Don't charge your dragon. Wow, another good tech. I'm trying to get like that. That was smart. Okay, I got a full bar, but I don't think we should try anything. And keep safe. I should have blocked. That was one of the options. I could have definitely blocked. Wow, we just got erased. Okay, remember, played a little safer. I ran up and I was like, I could either attack or block, and then I clicked the attack button, and my, and it all went black. No text that time. That lightning is a little slow. When used for that purpose, and I got caught by another low. And that's not great. Okay, I'm just going to go for that. Spaced. Wow, comboed off of it too. That's why I'm going to do the same. Just ex it all, dude. All right, right there. I lost my lightning property. Grabbing between it, but he tags. That was sick. Okay, we got it. Game two goes to us. That dude, this is a, I like this mirror matchup a lot. Maybe I won't once everybody's a little better, including me, hopefully, but right now at this level of play, this is a very fun mirror matchup. Everybody's just got to, got to hold it, dude. You got to hold it. I got to stop doing that. I've been punished so many times, and I'm just not learning. That's how I tried to DP. It was going to be a little cheap. I wanted to DP over the first. Oh, that one. I got to stop thinking about it. Better days, better days. Overhead block. Block one thing, man. When I'm out of this corner, life's going to change for me. Like right here. Please hit, please hit, please hit. I should have done the other one. I know, but maybe no. Whoa, we played that one nice. I should just not try to back walk there. Why did I grab? No, we, oh, and then I try, went for another grab because I thought he missed his midi. I'm just mad. Low, okay. Overhead. That's the one thing I thought I was going to be able to block. There it is. Damn. I knew he was doing something. I thought he was just trying to jab out of it. I was like, why is he getting hit so much here? He was trying to do the super. That's why he was getting hit. He was trying to input, or maybe he was jabbing. Then it was like, all right. He just keeps mashing. All right, I see you. I see you. I was trying to play smart. All right, here's what I don't. I don't want to be in this corner again, dude. We've seen that I'm not capable of playing defense right now. Tech that. Are you kidding me? I missed my midi. No. That's not safe either.  I don't have any moves.  Where's my dragon dude? Does he have super? He does. Okay, well, let's be careful about that then. No, he super jumped in. That was sick. And that's the whole set too. Okay, on to our next match with Bielzebub. It's going to be interesting seeing if he can keep me out. Because I feel like once I get in, I think I'll have the advantage there. Once we get that barrier down, that is. Oh, you mind if I grab? There's the barrier. I said, you mind if I grab? And it was very clear to me that he did. I'm just going to let him, yeah. Low didn't fall for it. I feel like most people just block low instinctively. So I don't know. I feel like maybe I'm better off just trying to cancel it and go for something a little cheeky. He is using that move a lot. Can I ante or that? I actually don't know. All right, set up the dragon. Let the dragon rock. Hey, I love to see that dragon. Harrier, do you want to jump at me? No, teleport? No, no teleports allowed. I missed the grab. And he actually, he tried to tech it and then just grabbed me. That's kind of sick actually. Can I back throw here? No, no. Defense going to get a lot more important low. I didn't block it. And it's time to mash, boys. Did he all? What wins? I win. It's my win. Let's go. You should have used your skybounder, I guess. Damn, I got the anime thief song in the background too. That was awesome. Oh yeah. If you're watching this, by the way, we are trying to hit 200,000 subscribers. So if you've been enjoying the video and if you want to leave a like and subscribe, I would greatly appreciate it. Hold on. Let me get back to the current matters though. Grab? We like those here. Dragon? No, my dragon. Oh, it didn't come out. Do I not have enough stacks or something? Yeah, I probably don't actually. No blocks for me and I probably should have just held that. Oh, do you want to stop teleporting, dude? Going over. Overhead, yes. Overhead again. We like those. Grab. Let's just keep it going. Dragon? That's a DP, but I meant to do a dragon. You can believe that. I'm out of dragon stacks. Let's see if I can build some up, actually. If he jumps. No, okay. I very much come to the conclusion that, you know what? Hold on. Let me get my anime cutscene going.  So we just got the invincibility factor, but in this next rematch, he is going to be very weary about attacking me. He is like, okay, if he has his ultimate, I'm just not swinging, dude. Another grab. DP to put me in. I did not mean to EX it, though. All right, let me jump up, throw some lightning at him. Yeah, let me remind him I got this move. Oh, he tried to anti-air me. Oh, I messed up the DP input? Or was it on? I don't know if it was on cool. I probably just messed it up. All right, we blocked that. Luckily. Now, what's not lucky is the amount of times we've been hit. Oh, didn't think I'd follow up. Nice teleport out of the light and didn't want to worry about it. Okay, I'll back up. I'm dead. Yeah, I whipped the grab and that was pretty much the end of me. Absolutely whipped the grab. I was, oh, don't even ask me about it. I'm still tight. I'm not, I can't hit after that. He's just looking at him jab. Oh, no. Okay, we got to hold on. We got to turn up the heat. We got to turn up the heat because it's getting, it's getting cold in here. Oh, it's getting real cold. The play, the play has gone cold. Nice barrier. I will, he seems to really want to ante us. So these fake jumps are getting them. The barrier is getting me. It's bad. It's a bad look right now.  Yeah, that was really good by him and bad by me. I knew he was looking for those anteas and I just stepped up to the platform. I said, yeah, I'll be in the air if you need me. You got my coordinates, I assume. Okay, let me, let me finish out. Let me finish this with a win. Big win coming up. There we go. See? Got to make him think twice about those anteas. That's what the, that's what the lightning is for. Wow, I ran right up into it. Okay. Love to see it. Love to see it. Dragon. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. We did decent damage. A little bit of a dragon charge. That wasn't for insult purposes. I just happened to do that. Okay. Love it. Love to see it. Dragon. No, I didn't call it the dragon. Please just let me charge my dragon, dude. You're making life difficult for me. Oh, that combos? I didn't even know that. Okay. Game one went to him. Damn, we had such a decent lead that time too. Mainly because we get, keep getting hit by these teleports. Uh-oh. Grab. Okay. You teched it. I'm gonna do it again. Oh, never mind. He's swinging. Oh, no, dude. Come on. Come on. We got, we can, we can change this. Okay. Swing. Love it. That's where the dragon comes in? Or is that combo? No, it doesn't. You could tell by my question. I didn't mean to do that. Grab. Love to see it. Watch the super. Like that. That's not good. That's not great. That's not great. That's not great. That's not great. Help. Live. I'm dead. You can hear the music. Oh, we got too careless, dude. Damn. Zoom in on the lifts. Oh, that's a pretty sick end screen, though. All right. Let's go ahead and move on to the next map. I think that's the three, right? Yeah. That's three. All right. Let's move on. All right. Well, we're back with another mirror match. It's not the same person. At least I don't think anyway. I could just have bad memory. Now this is definitely, this is a much different play style. The dragons haven't even entered the field once. I like that kind of a dragon. Was he gonna grab? No. Go for a low. Dude, this character is nuts. Grab. There we go. Okay. Teched it. Late tech, though.  That grab was sick. Oh, man. I was not prepared. Dude, after that long set, I was not prepared for this. I went, oh, he perfected me. Oh, I didn't even swing because I was so busy trying to play defense. Oh, and failing at it. All right. You want to play that way? Let's go. No, dragon. You got to back me up on those things, dude. You're the only one I could count on in those times. Tech that. Late tech. What? What's the difference with a good tech and a bad tech? All right. You were a little too far back for that one to work. Oh, no more but... Did he dodge? Wait, that might have been a dodge. That was a dodge? I'm dead. That's this game. That was a dodge? I thought that was a grab. I misread the signals. Oh, no. All right. All right. That's fine. That's fine. We know who we're playing against now. We know who we're playing against. He's about to be promote. I don't think so. Not on my watch. Not on my watch. Probably will be on my watch. In fact, I don't even think he can promote on me. Please, I can't leave yet. I can't leave, dude. I can't leave. You got to let me in. That was the disconnect, wasn't it? Right there. Yep. Yep. Yep.


When I have my microphone in my hand, I have some kind of superpower where I'm not afraid to ask questions and I'm not afraid to just charge up and ask someone about their life. So I was probably in sixth grade and my parents took us on this family trip to the Bay Area and we somehow ended up in the middle of a People's Park protest and we were just like driving through the People's Park protest and I was like, yeah, that's my college. That's where I want to go to school. I came to Berkeley knowing what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to be a White House correspondent at NPR. Through Berkeley, I met people at the local public radio station in San Francisco, KQED. That's where I got an internship and ultimately my first job in radio. So I can draw a direct line between the campuses of UC Berkeley and the job I have now. I'm Tamara Keith, White House correspondent for NPR. I majored in philosophy, which is kind of like a punchline most of the time, but actually majoring in philosophy taught me how to think, how to break down arguments. I mean, I think really the philosophy degree made me a good question asker, which is something I do every day. That is my job, is asking questions. And so now, when I am at a presidential press conference and I can tell that the president isn't really answering the question, I know the best way to ask another question that will actually just home in on the thing that he's avoiding. Tamara Keith. Yes. So regarding the Affordable Care Act, in this environment, is it possible to do the kind of corrections that the business community... I've gotten to fly on Air Force One and report on the president and to walk up to the White House to go to work. And you have this moment where you're like, I'm going to work in the White House. It's just, I stop and pause almost every time I walk in and think, wow, this is real, this is my job.


Welcome to Sailor.org's HTML and CSS for Beginners course, part of our professional development program of study. This course is designed for adult learners who want targeted skills that they can immediately apply in a professional setting. HTML and CSS are the fundamental languages of the web, so it's increasingly important that we understand how they work. This course is designed for you to learn by doing, and by the end you will be able to create your very own website. Before we begin, here are some helpful hints. First, this course should take approximately 30 hours to complete, but if you already have some familiarity with web design, you may be able to work through the material quicker. You will need to use either Microsoft's Notepad, Mac's TextEdit, or a Linux TextEditor. You may also find the Mozilla Thimble web tool to be helpful. Next, you should create a folder on your desktop for all of your documents and other files. In the process of creating your first websites, you will want to make multiple copies. This way, you can experiment without worrying about losing your work. Also, having everything saved in one place will help you stay organized. Alright, let's get started.


This is, as we enter into our national road safety phase, it's phase two of our operation. It's an operation in which police services all around Australia and New Zealand join in. It's called Operation Crossroads. And of course, what we intend to focus on this year, during that operation, in fact, all four phases of our operation across the Christmas period, beginning 7 December through to when school returns on the 23rd, 24th of January, is of course our fatal four causes of road crashes and deaths on our roads. And that of course is a drink driving, driving whilst tired, driving whilst unrestrained and of course speeding. The additional issue or factor that we'll be looking at this year will of course be dangerous operation of motor vehicles, otherwise known as dangerous driving. And that will be a tantamount to our enforcement campaign this year. So there's really five things that we're looking at. What we're hoping to do is try to limit the death and injury on our roads. Christmas, New Year period is a time of celebration, a time for families. But I can tell you that law enforcement officers, our emergency service officers and of course our doctors and nurses hold their collective breath at this time of year, hoping that the death and injury on our road will be as low as possible. I'm ready to take any questions you might have. We would like to think that the road safety message is getting through, but it's one of the things that we need to continually work at. We have to continue to reinforce the fatal four, the not drinking, driving, not driving whilst tired, not speeding and ensuring that seat belts are worn at all times. It's a message that we hope is getting through. And we particularly like to think that at this time of year, it's a time of year that is supposed to be a time of celebration, a time of family and a time of friends. I think when we get into our motor cars, we need to remember that. If we could treat people on the roads as though they were part of our family or part of our friend circle, I think that we would have a much more considerate, a much more thoughtful motor in public. And I think if we did that, we would see considerable decreases in our road toll, both our fatalities and our injury accidents. And if the campaign seems to be getting away from road carnage and bloody years to one of them trying to get people just to be more courteous, is that going to be more effective or what's the reasoning behind that? Well, one of the things that we notice and we recognise is that incivility on the roads and frustration and lack of patience on the roads certainly leads to people making poor decisions. And of course those poor decisions can have quite fatal consequences and quite serious consequences. So we are very keen to ensure that people try to be as courteous as they can with each other. I think another important aspect to this is that many of the people using our road networks over the Christmas holiday period are not local people. We have a lot of people who come from interstate and in fact from overseas as well as other parts of the state of Queensland. And so there's a lot of people out there driving around quite unfamiliar with our roads. So it is really important that we extend people the courtesy. They may not be from here. They may not be used to driving on the roads each day. So that little bit of extra courtesy will go a very long way. Can you put that, well, poor road rage down to anything in particular? I mean is it traffic congestion? Is it poor roads? Is there any reason for it? It's difficult to put your finger on it. It is definitely frustration. And I'm sure that there are a number of factors that would lead to that. Congestion would be one. There's also a desire that people get from Point A to Point B quickly, particularly at this time of year. People are really trying to get to friends and family, etc. And that can be a source of frustration if that progress is impeded in any way. But what we really need to do is encourage people just to take your time and slow down. An extra five minutes isn't going to hurt. It's not going to hurt anybody. But trying to cut an extra five minutes off your trip might very well hurt. Somebody might in fact lead to a fatality. And do you have its Phase 2 different to Phase 1? Are there more officers? Well, the difference is that we add an extra criteria to our road safety campaign, which is the dangerous operation of motor vehicles, dangerous driving. So we have strategies in place to deal with that specific type of threat to our road safety. But I think the important part with Phase 2 is the fact that this is a united operation and it includes police jurisdictions from all the other states and across the Tasman. So we are, this really is, I guess, a statement from law enforcement that we will focus very steadily, very strongly on road safety over this particular period. Phase 2, as you know, covers the actual Christmas and New Year days. So they are the days that we really focus on. It's a terrible time to lose a family member or a friend on the road at any time. But over Christmas and New Year, a time that is supposed to be one of celebration and getting together with family, it must be utterly traumatic for family members and friends. We know the roadtile was 19 more compared to this time last year.  In Phase 2 last year there were five fatalities on our roads, five people were killed. We are hoping that we can reduce that. I've got to stress that that actually was a good year in terms of numbers. It's tragic here for anybody that's killed, but good years in terms of numbers. Can I tell you though that we are optimistic but certainly not complacent about the fact that in Phase 1 of our operation, which began on the 23rd of, I beg your pardon, which began on the 8th of this month, we had less deaths on the road than we did for the same period last year. Last year for Phase 1 of our operation there were 16 deaths on our roads. This year there was only 10. Now say only 10, and as you know the statistics are one thing, but the trauma and the suffering from people involved in those traffic accidents of course is quite considerable. So there is some optimism, but we all need to ensure that we don't become complacent. We need to focus on our driving. We need to ensure that we are concentrating on what we're doing and of course above all being courteous and applying the road rules. So when is Phase 2 officially started? Is it like four o'clock this afternoon until when? Well it actually starts at, it started at one minute past midnight this morning and it will run through until the 8th of January. Is that the national campaign? Is Phase 2 actually mean for drivers on the road? I think drivers on the road will see an increased police presence. We are mobilising all the resources that we have available to us to ensure that we have a strong police presence. This is a very strong enforcement phase of the operation and this is a time when we will be focusing on those motorists who are not complying with the road rules and of course I think the difference that people will see will be the volume of the actual frequency with which police cars pass them and they see police officers attending to traffic enforcement duties. Is that how you're hoping to... Yes. No that's right, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle is the sort of thing that requires some fairly skillful police tactics. Obviously for obvious reasons I can't go into precisely what those tactics will be but it's the type of operation that requires police to be on scene, to be observing, either physically or electronically and to intercept vehicles that are participating in dangerous driving behaviour. So can we expect a lot more unmarked police cars of different varieties of what we normally see on the road? Like different model cars? We have a range of different models, different makes both covert and overt and all the resources that we have available to us will be mobilised over this coming Christmas New Year period. Wouldn't you say electronically but... Yeah well there are a range of means by which we are able to track and vector in on people who have a propensity to drive dangerously and also to vector in on acts of dangerous driving so whilst I wouldn't go into the details we can say that all the resources that we have available to us will be used. Is there more, is there going to be higher penalties or just a merit points for those who are dangerously driving? Well dangerous driving is a different category of offence it's not an offence for which a person gets a ticket or points it's an offence for which people have to appear before the court and that can involve the loss of licence, substantial period of substantial fine or substantial period of imprisonment so it works a little differently but it is viewed very seriously by the courts and certainly very seriously by the police. Do you have a view that you can express on double demerit points at this time of year? Well you may be aware that we actually do have double demerit points in Queensland already the double demerit points work in terms of speeding and failing to wear a motorcycle helmet and other offences where the offender is intercepted twice within a 12 month period for that offence so two interceptions of those types of offences lead to double demerit points the next time around so it is something that we already have in Queensland. But not for an individual incident like in New South Wales? No. Any idea then you fix the cameras sorry the point of the cameras were turned on this week any idea how many people have been caught speeding through there? Yes on the first day now there is a delay it's a normal processing delay between when the detection occurs and when the information about the detection is transmitted back to a central point here in Brisbane and then the information is downloaded so there is usually a delay I can tell you on the first day of operation which was on Wednesday from midnight on there were 16 people detected in what we refer to as point to point mode and that is the distance between the two cameras and the time it takes to get there but the cameras also work in point in time mode which means it works like any other type of traffic camera so it can record speed as the motorist passes that camera spot and on the first day of operation four motorists were detected in that way so all up 20 for that site and the next day was very similar numbers it works out to about 0.48 per thousand cars that go past so I think that's a very good thing when we conducted the trial out there and had the cameras in operation the rate of offending or the rate of detections was much higher than that but as we've seen with all other camera systems that we have so far installed the rate of detection falls significantly over time as people become aware of the fact that they exist and our point to point camera I think is no exception people are aware of that the advantage of course with point to point camera is that it focuses the attention of the driver over a much greater period of time in this case 14.6 kilometres in the Glasshouse Mountain site so it encourages motorists to focus on their speed over a long period of time not simply at point in time when they pass a camera that might operate just throw it last there's a Gold Coast operation last night with drug and alcohol detection units I've not had any data about that yet


I think the challenge in life is not so much managing time as it is managing our attention. People often ask me in Q&A around the world, well, how do you manage your time? And when we ask that, don't we, about busy people that seem to have such busy lives compared to ours that we wonder how in the world do you get done what you get done? And it comes out in the form of the question, what about time management, time management, time management? I've come to believe that life is more about attention management than it is time management. If you will take control of your attention and only give your attention to things that you want to give time to, then I think it becomes its own form of time management without trying to manage time separate, if you like, to your attentions. I think what is worthy of our attention is therefore worthy of our time. I think the fear of time controlling us is really a fear of our lacking focus and our attention being drawn in all kinds of directions. Then we turn around and look at our watching and half a day has gone by. That is not a time management problem, it is an attention management problem. So I wonder if you could be more intentional about managing your attention, about focusing, putting blinkers on as it were, about saying I have no attention to give to this. This is not worthy of my attention. And I think if you do that you'll find that you'll have much more time left to do what you want to do and be more productive. But it perhaps is not with trying to manage time. The management of time therefore becomes a byproduct of managing your attention. So manage your attention and your time management will automatically improve. Also I think delegation is one of the less known forms of time management that what you don't have time for finds someone else that does have time for that which also allows you to focus your attention more into things that you should be giving your time to. So attention management and skillful intentional delegation that hands you back more time by giving that responsibility that takes time from you to someone with time for it is another way of time management or as I would say attention management. So think about that in your day to day. Think you know I'm doing all this time managing but I'm still not winning. Maybe try then to stop managing time and thinking it's a time and a clock and an hours in a day issue and think okay I think my problem is I am too scattered I am spread too thin. I am given my attention to too many things. That's where your time flashes where your day flashes by where your week flashes by because you spend too much time in things that are not worthy of your attention. So learn to manage your attention and I think your time management will get better as a byproduct of intentional attention management.


Hey guys, Justin here with Razorback Off-Road. Today we're gonna go over the install of our rock sliders on this Polaris 1000 four-seater. So you'll notice we're in our wash bay today. Our engineers are hard at work putting together new products for you guys in our R&D shop. So stick with me. We'll do a quick overview of all the parts, hardware and tools necessary to get this build going. Then we'll go step by step, how to get the rock sliders on your machine so that we can get you out on the trail. So here we have laid out all the parts we need for the passenger side of the vehicle. We've got two mounting brackets, one that goes towards the front of the machine and one more towards the middle. The rear is attached to the rock slider itself. It's welded together. As far as attaching to the machine, we've got eight bolts here, four that attach the brackets to the rock slider and four that attach the brackets to the machine. These replaced the ones that came factory installed. So as far as tools, all we need is the T40 Torx bit, a 10 millimeter wrench and a half inch socket. First thing you're gonna need to do is remove these T40 bolts that come factory installed. That's where we're gonna use for our mounting locations for our brackets. So as you go to install these brackets, you wanna take kind of a close look. You'll notice a couple of things that are different. If you point these out, this tab is a little bit wider than the other as well. The standoff is a little bit, one's a little bit taller than the other.  Same thing on this middle bracket. Again, just noting that this is the wider tab.  So now that you have your brackets in place, we're gonna go ahead and set this rock slider in place. You're just gonna take this tab and locate it in that hole. Once you get it in there, it will kind of, it will take the weight off of your hand. You can just set that in place. Then you can take your bolts. You've got two bolts here that go into the machine, one in this top left corner and then another one right here in the bracket itself. Just get those started and leave them loose and then move on to your other bolts into the brackets. So now that we've got all of our bolts started, I'm gonna go back through and tighten everything down. I'm gonna start with the brackets that go into the machine. You can get to these lower brackets with a box and wrench through the bottom of the rock slider. If you've got a drill and a socket, you can reach that straight in the front. So, and then we'll come back and get the four outer bolts. This is gonna be using our half inch socket. One thing I forgot to mention as we go through this, we do recommend putting blue lock tight on all of these bolts. Now that you've got all your bolts tightened up, just do the same thing on the other side and you'll be ready to go. So there you have it.

Thank you for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break today. I'm going to be trying a beer by brewery I'm very excited to try something by because I've never had any other stuff This is by Odell out of Fort Collins, Colorado And it is their barrel thief which is a oak barrel aged imperial IPA and it is 9.4% alcohol by volume I ended up getting this because Odell actually does not distribute in Maryland But I do have the rare beer of the month club through beer month club calm Which I highly recommend they have a lot of really good stuff come through You'll have to decide if it's worth the price But the good thing is that if you see something coming out For a month that you're not that interested in you can just defer and not use that month of your membership So you can just keep basically bumping it for months until you see something you really like So you get a lot of options and then you can just pull the trigger without having to pay for everything along the way So really good beer month club calm. Check it out. Anyway, I want to get into this Good little corking cage number here for the barrel thief Now I'm interested to see what happens with this because I've had Hoppy beers in which they've been oak barrel aged and I'm not a fan And I've had it go the other way as well Sometimes the oak works really well with it or any wood really and sometimes it kind of just really makes the hop style too much That was a struggle Nice pop though very satisfying Pour the sucker out here. Hopefully it was worth all this work, you know Decent amount of head coming out on it.  Oh, I didn't show you guys pretty cool label barrel thief There you go guys stuck in the barrel. It's like jail. These guys will band its handkerchief on so pretty cool I can already smell the aroma coming out of me Very very orange almost like a slight Brownish tinge on that orange a nice big white head to it Looks on the thick side Whoo, very very very robust aroma a little grapefruity orangey But it's less it's less of like Fresh well, there's a little bit of a fresh aspect in there for the citrus But it's it's more like sugary kind of concentrated sweetness like it was dehydrated. This was really good Super citrusy just like you would think like a West Coast IPA would be Well imperial in the sense I get a little bit of the oaky characteristic, but I Was actually expecting the the citrusy aroma to be significantly less because of the oak barrel aging But it's not so let's see if that translates in the actual flavor. Oh Wow, I actually get a lot of wood coming through on it a lot of oak That is interesting. I'm gonna need to process this for a second. Huh? It is good. I was confused at first because I was not expecting the oak to be that strong Especially not up front. I figured it'd be more toward the back of the flavor But it hits you strong like right up front. There's some nice citrusy aspect in it But like I said it just like in the nose There was more of a like a dried citrus because because it's more like a sweetness to it It's pretty viscous as far as I Imperial IPA's go. It's you know much more thick big mouth feel to it almost a little bit chewy a little bit Botanic that because you kind of get that from the wood It's like, you know kind of taste a little bit like a block of wood kind of but the wood is almost has like a bit of a spice Aspect to it. It hits you so hard Real interesting. I would not say this is amazing Because there's a lot of wood going on on it. I think I'd like a little bit less wood But it is good nonetheless certainly. I'll drink this. I don't think it tastes like the 9.4% though I think the wood the tannic aspect of the wood and the bitterness that it imparts is helping to kind of hide a little bit of that ABV so that's nice. Let's see if it has anything interesting Just not not much tropical fruit hop character that tangles with hints of vanilla dried fruit and toasted almond It's toasted almond. I can see them. I can see a bit of that vanilla actually No, I don't think I can get toasted almond. I actually ate some almonds a while ago Don't get toasted almond, but the vanilla. Yes Solid beer interesting beer very interesting beer not a bad offering by Odell especially to be my first so Odell I look forward to trying to get a hold of your more of your stuff and hopefully I do and I've heard great things so Awesome. Anyway, thanks everyone for checking this out and just like I'm doing go have yourself a good beer


The paper describes the use of microinteraction EMA, EMA, in the temporal influences on movement and exercise, time, study to collect temporally dense intensive longitudinal self-report data from young adults. The EMA protocol involves answering single, cognitively simple questions on a smartwatch with quick, glanceable microinteractions. Changes were made to the protocol based on pilot feedback and sense of triggered questions for physical activity and sedentary behavior were added. As of June 2021, a total of 81 participants had completed at least six months of data collection in the main study, with a compliance rate of 67.6%, SD24.4%, and a completion rate of 79%, SD22.2%. The paper concludes that EMA may be valuable for understanding behaviors and states at the individual level, thus possibly supporting future longitudinal interventions that require within day, temporally dense self-report data as people go about their lives.

The results of this study suggest that most outpatients are dissatisfied with the healthcare services they receive at both Rizgari and Holler teaching hospitals in Erbil City. Patient satisfaction was significantly associated with their age, income level, and the number of times they visit the outpatient department.

Hello everybody! Watch this video to find out how to recover data from a hardware RAID 5 built with the help of Windows Storage Spaces on a Windows Server 2019 operating system. I'm going to show you what to do if you can't access your information in such an array after reinstalling the operating system or after a disk failure. Hello friends! If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore and remove browser history. Hetman Software products will help you. Follow the link in the description. Download the necessary program for free, install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it, to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments, under the videos or articles. As we know, Windows Server features an integrated technology to let you create a hardware RAID system and protect your data. This function is used to keep your files intact in case one or several disks fail, and naturally, the number of those unlocked disks depends on the array configuration. However, issues related to data loss in Windows Server systems don't always boil down to a mere disk failure. Other possible causes may include software errors, incorrect settings, damaged metadata, accidental formatting or removing files, and so on. No matter what happened, but with any of these things you still end up losing some important information and wondering how to get your files back. You'll need to use a specialized utility to restore the lost information from a damaged RAID system. Try Hetman RAID Recovery. This utility supports data recovery from almost all existing RAID types, and the lost information will be back in a moment. It works perfectly with all popular file systems, fixing errors in the hardest logical structure and recovering the disk contents. Errors in the work of the operating system, for example, those you may encounter during the update process, can cause a critical error, after which your system just refuses to boot again. And the only option left for you is to reinstall it. But what should you do with the RAID system and all the information that's still inside it? After the operating system is reinstalled, it may have problems with recognizing the drives and display them in the disk management as foreign. First of all, try importing them. Right-click on the disk, then select Import foreign disks, choose a group, and click OK. In the next window, the system will list the volumes it has found on the disks, so click OK to confirm it. After that, all disks will appear in the File Explorer. There could be situations when the import operation fails, and some arrays remain inaccessible. Just like this RAID 5 system. One more scenario is when a hardware failure or another emergency damaged a part of the metadata. Although there is a never-ending process of rescuing which makes the disk unavailable for read-and-write operations, similar results occur when you accidentally remove a part of the data or format the disk. If any of these nasty things happen to your system, keep calm and use Hetman RAID recovery. It will scan the disk automatically and display all the information about disks and arrays. As you can see, the program has identified these arrays' properties easily. All you have to do is to scan its disks and recover your data. Right-click on the disk and select Fast Scan. If the fast scan can't find the information, then go for full analysis. When the scan is over, select the files you want to restore, click Recovery, specify the directory where you'd like to save the files, and click Recovery again. In the end, you will find the recovered files in the folder you have chosen. If one or several disks failed and the recovery program is unable to identify the array properties, use the RAID Constructor tool. Select Manual mode, Next, and provide all the information you know about your disk array. Save time, block out your insights. Select the disks that your storage system used to consist of and specify their order. Add empty disks for the missing ones by clicking on this button. After you've filled in all the properties you know, click Next. The RAID system will appear in the Drive Manager. Right-click on it and start the scan. Select the files you want to restore and click Recovery. Even if more than one disk is damaged, the program can recover the files which are still on the disk. But a part of the data can be damaged because for this rate time losing more than one disk is critical. Actually, the maximum number of disks that can be missing with your data still intact is determined by four types of resiliency supported by storage spaces, and they are as follows. Simple resiliency, Stripe, requires all disks to be available. Two-way mirror and parity types can compensate the absence of one disk. Three-way mirror types can keep on working even if they lose two disks at the same time. If more disks are missing than the storage configuration can handle, the files can be damaged or inaccessible due to lack of redundancy data. In this case, recovering all a never-lost file is very difficult. Your best precaution against massive data loss should be backing up important data regularly. So, keep that in mind.
