Hi, this is Daniel Rosal. Welcome back to this YouTube channel about Jerusalem and Israel. I've covered the histories of different street names in Jerusalem in a few different videos. Yesterday, we looked at why South Jerusalem is full of streets named after Latin American countries. If you've always wondered why Jerusalem has streets named after Guatemala or Uruguay in Chile, then check out that video. Today, I'd like to share a link to a very useful resource run by the municipality of Jerusalem, which allows you to look up any street name you're curious about in Jerusalem. It's available only in Hebrew and is called Marechet Chippos Shemrechov, which translates in English roughly to the system for looking up a street name. To use the tool, type in Hebrew the name of the street you're interested in in Jerusalem. For the purpose of this example, I'm going to use the well-known Ben Yehuda Street, which is the main pedestrian thoroughfare in Jerusalem city center. After that, you'll be taken to a results page. If there are multiple matches for the street name, as in this example, you'll see a link to multiple detailed pages. If there's a thumbnail of the street sign, it will be added alongside the official English transliteration and a link for additional details on the far left. So let's click on that link. Each page provides a little bit of info about why the street was named as it is. For instance, this page about Ben Yehuda Street explains that the street is named in honor of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the pioneer of modern Hebrew, lived between 1858 and 1922. It also explains here where the street is located in the city center and what other streets it intersects with. There's also a numerical identifier for the street as well as the name in Hebrew. There are some books on the subject of street names in Jerusalem in English, but if you've always been curious to know the history behind street names in the city, this is one resource definitely worth bookmarking. I'll put a link to it in the description.


I'm going to talk about creative writing in the age of computers, creative writing in a digital age. The first question that people normally ask me is that, what is creative writing? For poet Ophelia Alcantara de Malanta, writing is like kite flying. You should know when to hold it back. You should know when to let it go. National artist Francis Carceliana, fictionist, said, write what you know, write something that only you and only you can write. And the national artist for literature, Edith Yempo, said that writing is quite often the tension between technique and one's raw emotions. Before we try to understand creative writing in the age of computers, we need to understand some basic writing tips. What makes good writing? The first point is that you have to have a very interesting main point. Without an interesting main point, there will be no interesting piece of writing. You should also be aware of structure that writing must have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And the third quality is sincerity that if you're not very honest with your feelings, the readers can see through the heart of the writer. Number four is don't edit as you write. Just write what you want to write and you edit later on. In the end, writing must have this tension between what is concrete and what is abstract, what is specific and what is general, and what is an idea vis-a-vis what is an image. In addition, when you write, you have to use strong verbs and less adjectives. Make your private world more accessible to your reader. You follow the rules before you break them. So, for instance, if people play basketball and the medium is the basketball, with words, you make poems and narratives and plays, et cetera. In addition, you shouldn't plagiarize. You should learn how to cite your source if it's necessary, even if it's a creative piece. You must learn how to cite your sources. You must research, but you don't overdo it, and research involves field research, interviewing people, doing intense archival work, and read, read, read, write. But before you write, you watch good films, listen to good music for inspiration, and you will possess this influences by bringing in your own unique personality when you write. Like fabrics, creative writing can be conceived by weaving with threads into which a very strong twist must be determined. Usually, displaying an aura of pastness, itch thread in creative writings invariably an explicit product of one's autobiographical memory. Creative writing texts are often swayed with chronologies of grief, longing, fear of loss, and a passion to decide to memorialize personal history in a public space. To write well, there are five things that you need to consider. First is mastery of form. Second is great emotional power. The third is taking the reader to a journey. Number four is it has to be groundbreaking, and number five has to have the X factor. I'll try to explain it very briefly. Master of form would mean that in writing poems, for instance, you worry about how lines are cut, what specific words mean. When you write a story, the traditional story has plot, character, setting, theme, and so on. A nontraditional story normally has a key moment or a moment of illumination towards the end. You are aware of the rules of the genre that you have chosen, and most importantly, you use the language that you feel you can express your feelings a little more authentically. So, for instance, if you are writing in Filipino, you have to use Filipino very well, and you address your audience the best way you can. If you're writing in English, you have to think of a particular audience in mind, and you may have to make sure that you have mastery of English. If you're writing in Hili Gainon, you have to know the context, the nature of Panayalan, and so on. So, which means that form involves that only the use of the language, but you know the different aspects of the genre that you're getting into. Number two, great emotional power. I think the best quality that good writing should have is, despite sometimes there will be lapses here and there, it's very important that you actually connect to the reader, that the best pieces of work stand out because you actually allow yourself the private world of the author to be accessible. So, when Scarlett O'Hara says, with God as my witness, I shall never go hungry again, so there is always this great impact that it has on the viewer. So, good writing has something like that, that you actually connect to your audience. Number three, you take the reader to a journey, which means that a writer has a private world, and you allow that private world to be accessible to your readers. For instance, if you are reading a book, let's say Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or let's say Jose Garcia Villia, they have their private world every time you read their particular books. For instance, in the case of Love at the Time of Cholera, or Hundred Years of Solitude, when you read the book, it appears that you are not in the Philippines, but you're in Latin America. So, you should allow the reader to be able to gain access to your private world. There's always this tension between the physical world where you're in, and the metaphorical private world where you can be alone, that people usually have a private world, that there is a world where we deal with people every day, and there is a private world where you can be alone. At this very moment, it's possible that somebody here is actually looking at me, listening to my lecture, but is actually thinking of what to eat, or thinking of a long, probably think of the first love, or probably thinking of what to do after this class or this session. So eventually, a writer, a good writer must be able to gain the confidence of the reader, and be able to expose the reader into the world that he or she is in, to the inner world that he or she is in to. Number four, Groundbreaking. The writer Charles Sanong is one of the first Filipino writers to write about the plight of Chinese Filipinos, and as a result, he was able to win many awards here and overseas, get recognition from critics, and be read by a lot of people because Chinese Filipinos were never represented the way Charles Sanong did for Charles Sanong. When they're in China, they're not Chinese enough, but in the Philippines, they're not Filipino enough, and that tension made him a very popular writer. So in other words, a good writer has to do something, like has to fill in a gap, and that is you have to be a little bit more groundbreaking in your choice of subject, and do things like no other writer has done before. And most importantly, number five is the X-Factor. It's possible that you have mastered the rules of good writing, but despite all the rules of good writing, it's like somewhere out there, there's always a person who is probably reading a book that he or she wouldn't want to tell anyone, largely because that book is considered badui. For instance, there's somebody here who probably in his or her playlist has a badui song that he or she listens to, but he or she doesn't admit it. So similarly, with all the rules in your hands, it's possible that when you write, you will not follow what the teacher will say, or you will not follow what the experts will say. At the end of the day, you end it the way you want to end it because that's what your instinct tells you, and sometimes that risk will take off. In the end, writing is a big gamble, and that's what Edith Tiampo said, and as I mentioned earlier, it's always this tension between raw emotions and poetic or literary technique. But to measure good writing, usually writers begin by having a teacher discover you as a writer. Usually you come from a classroom, and you're asked to participate or take exams in the school paper. Eventually, you become part of a literature, a journalism, a communication or a creative writing program. Subsequently, you go into fellowships. You compete for fellowships such as the most prestigious in the Philippines is the Cinema National Writers Workshop. There's also the U.P. Writers Workshop, the U.S.D. Writers Workshop, the De La Salle University Workshop, Ateneo Workshop, the Iligan Institute of Technology, Mininal State University Writers' Workshops, major universities across the Philippines have Writers' Workshops. But eventually, as a young writer, you take this experience in stride. You allow yourself to be influenced by different types of people. There's this question that people would normally ask of me. National artist F. Senol Hasewan said that traditionally creative writing workshops will not make you a great writer, but it allows you to develop a sense of community to meet other writers, to be exposed to a variety of subject positions, and be able to create readership for your works and you read the works of other people as well. Subsequently, that National Writers Workshop experience will make you a good writer. In so far, as you'll be more aware about what other writers would say, what other writers would think, and at the same time, you support each other's writing careers. Number four, there's always these awards and prizes that writers would aspire for the most prestigious. Usually, the Carlos Palangka Memorial Awards for Literature. And then, there used to be a cultural center of the Philippines' price. And these days, there's also the NCAA Writers' Prize. There's also the Philippine Graphic Prize. In so far, as awards are concerned, what is my take on this? Basically, creative writing awards are important. In so far, as they give encouragement to young writers to write some more. Prices should not be considered as the only barometer of good taste or good writing. Ultimately, the test of one's writing is 15 years after you've written a piece of work, or years after you die, people still read your work. Or, when you write, people read your works despite the fact that you do not have an award. For example, there's this guy named Bob Ong. He's been selling a lot of books. Almost outselling the Bible. We don't know who Bob Ong is. There are rumors that he is a faculty member from the College of Arts and Letters. Or he is probably one of three faculty members from the College of Arts and Letters. But he's selling 300,000 copies of books. People read him. He doesn't know. We do not know who he is. We do not know whether he is actually a living person. But his works are being read by a lot of young people. So in other words, ultimately, it doesn't matter whether you win a prize or you don't win a prize. The most important thing is that you write the best way you can and people read your works. So after we talk about how creative writing is actually achieved, now we go into creative writing at a digital age. But before the digital age, we used to write using typewriters, correction fluids, the frequent use of typewriter ribbons which leads to poor quality of print. We used heaps of carbon paper. We were often slowed down by the use of dictionarity sorrows and reference materials before we write. And we used longhand before we type. But after the digital age, there were a lot of technological advancements in the sense that we used user-friendly software programs. Initially, we had huge floppy disks. We had WordStar and WordPerfect before it got into MS Word. But during the digital age, it's very easy for people to write because the computer deletes and corrects mistakes. Computers print after editing the text and corrections can be made before printing. There's no need for carbon paper and computers can print as many copies. And there's an online dictionary in the sorrows. No need to re-type and you encode directly using computers. That's an example of a Smith Corona typewriter which we used to use years ago. And that's the no color screen, the monitor screen. This was the 486, 386 computers that were available in UP during the 1990s. And then this is the Apple Mac Classic which was very popular in Europe during the 1990s. I'll give you an example of how different it is when you're writing before you use computers and after you started using computers. When I was a younger poet, I wrote in English and in Filipino. But my poems smelled of rooms. They're not bad poems per se. But it spoke of an experience that it was largely confined to a very, I would say, parochial and very limited experience. So I'll read some excerpts. The title of the poem is Ulan. Malakas ang Ulan kahapon, dahil dito na dulas ka sa taas ng ba habang tumitirik ang mga sasakiyang bumubuga ng samasamang usok, alikabok at grasa. Tila malalim ang sugat sa yung tuhoran pagkatapos ng ilang oras halos gadaigdig pa rin ang iyong mga sigaw dahil sakit ka rayong na humahataw sa iyong balat. Sa lakas na ulan, manaming bulaklak ang nasalanta sa iyong isipan. It was a young Wendell Kapili writing those poems but ultimately I realized that when I got to travel and had been very fortunate to be in different types of place and you grow older a little bit more, your poems stop smelling of rooms. But there's another example of a roomy poem. But before that, this was inspiration for ulan Espana corner Arsenio Laksa and used to go through that street despite the floods I was able to cross the streets and nothing happens to me, very interesting. Another poem, Spilled Ink Elegy a poem that I wrote when I was a teenager it's about my grandmother who passed away. Black ink spills over grandma's footprints deeply slowly impensive streaks. When monsters were scary, grandma cuddled me against regressive veins. She caressed the alphabet with gears of dog-cout motion carving gold for mother goose music in half ascending tones. Now I must cry a little. Let's car slip a punchy back into the old cradle. Ultimately I got to travel and one of my favorite places around the world the secret garden in Seoul, Korea where many Korean novellas are actually being shot and they're being shown on GMA and ABS-CBN. And there's this Koshimiro Ryokan in Odawara, Japan at the foot of Mount Fuji it's the oldest Japanese inn dating back to the period before Meiji Emperor Meiji period. Around the time I wrote a poem when I was studying in Tokyo University 1993 to 95 the title of the poem is Resentment I will read the poem and you can compare with the earlier poems this one has a little more maturity and sophistication because of traveling and the experience of being able to do research like when I was writing before I was very instinctive but when I was writing this poem Resentment I was using not only my own personal feelings on the subject but I was also consulting websites regarding certain motives of leaves and trees and gardens and so forth and at the same time I had an online dictionary to make sure I used the most appropriate word if I fail to capture it during my first draft my first writing of the draft of the poem so I will read the poem Resentment I have waited for the years to melt down your overgrown nettles sweet dew, magic flowers stretching to 100 leagues on paddies and green mountains this is how the wind flies up to my ears midnight's are always sad nobody recites the sutra of clouds glistening with rain they stood for promises for all the mindless gazing at my aloneness my shameful ways the absence of roots, leaves and branches in my family tree this mystery takes me to a point of death ruffling down huts clustered in the dusk perhaps I can fish on the next sea push open the morning door and emerge like petals from a shower there's a running joke that this poem is actually a poem about love and it exists in a collection of yuhamino abad but between you and me it's actually about some people from the college of arts and letters so I wrote the poem for them but some people interpreted it as a love poem but actually it's not but during the digital age from a creative vantage point the author writes and reads in front of the computer the creative process is now mediated by the internet social networking sites and so forth creative process then was impulsive and more romantic you don't need to do research outburst of emotions you can write but these days, writing has to be premeditated and calculated you have to be more precise you have to do research before you actually do your final draft because when you put an image or an idea it has to be consistent with a time frame you're writing about a particular subject you have to be very consistent with your time and space or you have to verify current events for instance, just to make sure that what you're writing is actually very accurate to summarize using computers, I'm even more compelled to conceive each writing text not only as a latitude of metaphors, ideas and images with a design and a system writing must have a structure that a writer has to be very conscious of the beginning, the middle and an end and this has to be communicated back to the reader in attempting to write a good article or a good poem or a good non-fiction piece using computers I must also carefully attend to dramatic unfolding of my memories which means that it's the duty of the writer not just to communicate his ideas for himself or herself but the writer is duty bound to articulate his thoughts and feelings bearing in mind that he is taking the readers to his personal journey hoping that the reader will be able to be moved and find ways of sharing that experience with him or her at the same time there are ways to find ways of interrogating and transfiguring a profound quietude to bring forth what otherwise has evaded consciousness which means that it is the duty of a writer to make sure that he or she has a third eye to communicate an ordinary thing for other people which the writer is duty bound to transform as something extraordinary at the end of the day because it's for I, me, myself you write because you're hoping that a piece of your imagination a piece of your private world will move somebody else at the end of the day there's this saying that poet Ophelia Alcandra de Malanta would often say that we're all brothers and sisters in pain that writers write because we all feel pain and we try to share each other's pain and we use that pain to transform the imbalances of our everyday life consequently computers afford me opportunities for every recollected detail to live dramatically inside the reader and at the end of the day during digital age we have to write using technology because without the use of technology I don't think we will be able to survive good writing ultimately good writing has to have a combination of passion and compassion, technique and raw emotions and the use of technology without technology these days it's very difficult to do good writing


I'm Roy, and this is What the F**kle. Seeing as the one thing I do in MPS is never shut up about speaking Irish, I... decided to do a little test. We get people in, ask them to translate some words and see what the standard is. Simple, right? I'm a little nervous, but probably not as nervous as the contestants. Let's see how they get on. Talking. I really have no clue.  It looks like suck. That's also drunk? Tipsy, but... Tipsy? Okay, right. I'm excited to notice a theme here, right? Hit me with a third one. I know this one's drunk. It's not. Right. Oh, I thought that was the word that they used in the story of the thing that the North Island guy gets shot from. Do you remember that story? Yeah. Yeah, I thought that was the word that they used for him. International business. So I have something to do with music. Because I feel like you could have something to do with science, but there's keel in there, but I don't know if the keel changed it. I give up. Psychology. Actually, yeah, from the pronunciation, I've gotten that. Oh, I've seen that word before. Okay, well, let's see, that's embarrassing, but I'm in communication, so it's fine. I'm not expected to know anything. Lua Ijikis. Well, so that has something to do with education. Lua Ijikis, is that like primary or secondary teaching, or is it so tight with teaching, or is it like postgraduate? I want to say primary school teaching. Okay, that's close. Yeah. Okay, well, wow, I was shocking. One out of four, though. I'll take it. I know a queen of means crying, and I feel like a gwee is like similar to that. Is it crying? Okay, pray. Pray. This is so bad. It's a religion teacher. I don't even know what a gwee means. Okay, caravine track means pastime. A car of catching? No. I'm going to go with playing. No, that's... Okay, caravine track is pastime. Do we? No, I didn't know. I don't know who I'm like. Oh, yeah, I knew that. No. Should I ask my mommy? I do not like eating. A-tuckled. Catching. This is rude present. Can we not think of one that all you would know? A good tuffin. It's a verb in my harsh. Oh, horse writing. No. Honor is Irish. Arguing. Talking. Oh, like... I'm tonic. I'm tonic. I feel like I wasn't very good at this game. I feel like there's a reason I don't do Irish. I did honors. I have no idea. Crocodile? I know menah is women. But like, that's not it. That's not it. Oh, okay. Well, that was easy. My first thing was ganzi. And I was like jumper. But it's not a shirt. Oh, yes, yes. That felt good. So at the end of that, the joint winners were Connor O'Neill and Connor Wallace with a score of 1 each. Am I disappointed? Yeah. Yeah, I am. Have I learned anything? Probably not.


What's good Josh your boros back again with another video, so y'all have been hitting me up in the DMs in the comment section down below on Twitter To check out who is the king of the spear and that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna check it out Me personally, I'm sure they're gonna have Goldberg in this compilation That was always my favorite Like wrestler to hit the spear like he is just something about his intensity The way he just to what the setup for it alone and let's be honest He was one of the hottest things in WCW. He was Their stone cold if that makes any sense granted the difference between him and stone cold is Stone cold was a much better wrestler Goldberg just had a couple of moves You wanted to see a spear a jackhammer one two three. That's it and it worked He's that gimmick for him work stone cold was different. He talked a lot more trash on the mic He was badass. He was going against the boss and it worked for him both of them ball So I don't know what that says for that time period But bald motherfuckers was running the show in wrestling, but appreciate all the love and support Road 20k man. Let's get it. Check out. Who's the king of the spear? I think I'm gonna go Goldberg on this one though Look at that Wolf gang trying to see I'm not sure if I know this His Okay, that was nice. It's like he carries you Not a bad variation of it. It's like he literally carries you not a bad variation for Yeah, it's okay One thing in life out of the series they show you the different wrestlers that hit some of the same or similar moves Never been a fan of fishing spear to be honest with you. I know he was definitely doing it once Edge Got injured as more of a tribute, but I never was a big fan of it. Yeah, I never was a really big fan of it It's okay Spears If anything, I like I like edges spear better Always like edge spear better Bobby last year spear was actually pretty nice. Not gonna lie to you spear was actually nice His spear was actually pretty nice. Not gonna lie. Yeah, his spear was pretty nice God, it's like it's just all that that muscle mass Like he really dives into it Yeah, like he jumps into that. It's just a lot of mass and weight Oh my like he low key in the flipping from the momentum Did not a well, maybe I would pay attention to it. Oh my Jesus Yeah, he does never really paid attention to it like I guess Shout out to Angela Dawkins 13's When the 13's while wrestling, bro, he always usually wearing like some pretty dope jays Or some pretty dope shoes just in general This is okay, though. I Think what he works for his is because he has a lot of weight on him. No pun intended. So Yeah, I forgot the big show has a spear too I don't really care for his either. I never really cared for his I Know it looked like it would hurt though Child to big show man. He's been in in wrestling for many many years He's been in a WWE for so many years Like a lot of years Wow a young Drew McIntyre Before the beard. Oh my Jesus. Oh My god, I mean you would you would think it's a devastating move cuz he's so huge but Heaven-born no, that would oh my god Why no spear is nice Why no spear to me is up there would go His beard will his boy as they call it click it. Oh Yeah, his is nice.  I used to always love his his gore. Oh No There's much cringier when announcers announced it today The rock used to sell that spear look at that Yeah, that boy was nasty it's This is up there for me. Oh my gosh, I forgot Patissa has one too. I don't think I never really care for patissas. I think I like Bobby Lashley's better That's crazy Patissas, I don't really care for Yeah, I don't really care for patissas spear. It's okay, but yeah, I just never really cared for it of course Yeah, that that one look kind of sloppy That definitely look kind of sloppy. Oh Yeah, he does have the diving through the rope spear. Ah, yeah I do like his variation of it. It fits his character He does have that diving through the rope spear eyes are like his because it's it's not just like a traditional spear It fits his high-flying style.  Look at this, bro Yeah, that shit is hella dangerous, bro I'll give it to him because he only hits this outside to the floor that that is very very dangerous, bro He's going full speed and he hits that to go all the way down to the floor anything can happen But that's no pun intended a lot of weight once again, bro. Oh Here's is nice though Roman Reigns before his character was like Like overpushed and annoying His spear is nice. He has a nice spear like when he was with the shield Yeah, his spear and I think it's because of the character I think if they never would have just overpushed him and pushed them the correct way didn't shove them down our throats I think We would like his moveset. We would like his spear even more. It's not a bad spirit. It's actually pretty good For like kids that are growing up now They don't know much about Goldberg. They would think this is the best version of the spear Of course us, you know that watch Goldberg. We know but for the new era I can see why people would think this is the best version of it His was nice and impactful. Look at this. That's not gonna lie to you. Some of them once he's hit On nice like I hope they show the one he hit on Triple H. Oh They got a show the one he hit on Triple H that one was nasty, bro He has a nice spear it is is up there. Oh my Oh That was a nice one, too. He has a lot of impact to it That one's a good one Aw, they didn't show it A nice one It has a nice one He has a nice one. It has a nice one. Not gonna lie to you. I Like it just better than Batista's Look at this, bro. The ultimate opportunists Damn edge. I can't wait for you to come back One of the best things on WWE television. Oh Of course, you gotta put this in there. Oh my Jesus. I don't think people understand.  That is one of the most hardcore spots WWE has ever produced. You can't fake that. That's legendary I'm sorry. That's one of the most legendary spears of all time. Oh This one's right here a spear from the top of the ladder All the way down, bro You gotta put edge up there. He has some of the most memorable spears of all time, bro This is ridiculous Hold on. Hold on. We got to go back to that. That's just ridiculous. This clip always gives me goosebumps Of course Another thing Goldberg gotta say the best for last Goldberg Here it comes. Oh Nanzio goodbye Nanzio Jesus Nanzio Yeah, when he came back he looked good. Oh Yes, a young big show.  He sold that like a champion Christian Christian show. Oh my god, bro Oh man, yeah They didn't show some of the better clips like the one he hit on Rosie through the bear cave That was one of my favorite spears from him Um But yeah, man, if I had to rank it, of course Goldberg in his prime in his heyday will be number one I actually like the gore from Rhino I'm gonna actually give the gore from Rhino number two I'm gonna give edge number three and reason why I'm gonna give edge number three is because like I said before It was the moments that he had with those spears like the moments Like the like the actual moment of spearing somebody through a flaming table Spearing somebody off the top of a ladder and it's just how he would hit it You know, he had the ultimate opportunities gimmick.  You don't even know it So I have to give him number three and I'm gonna probably go ahead and give Roman Reigns number four for me not because This is actually pretty good. Very impactful. It's just his character is so like Blanned at one point because no one wanted him to be the guy that kept pushing him That's why it's not higher up on the list, but his spear is nice So that would be my ranking just of the top four from this video But comment down below what would be our ranking who which I have number one I want to know I appreciate all love support. Hope you guys enjoyed this video, man Roll to 20k. You already know what it is. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all in our next one. Peace


What's going on guys, today I am back with another Destiny 2 video and wow, just wow. Today we have something epic and that is a look at a weapons loadout and what we can expect they will offer during the full game but before we go any further guys if you do enjoy the video at the end leaving a like is much appreciated on my behalf. So early today I'm ready, a user by the name of Irene RR4 dropped information from being able to play the beta early at a London Virgin Media Destiny 2 event so big thanks to Irene for the info. So the screenshot he shared you guys can see on screen now it's very very interesting indeed so the weapon we see here is cool it does not compute it's a scary rifle obviously but unlike we see stacks ie range impact stability and so forth now on to the shady stuff and the things we currently didn't know about weapons within Destiny 2. Okay so this icon right here represents the weapons intrinsic perk yes you heard that right legendaries have these intrinsic perks which can roll offering multiple different perks so to speak to the very same weapon so this does not compute could have a stability perk here giving the weapon extra stability while another drop of this weapon although other perks will be the exact same intrinsic perk could offer a range increase instead of stability now an actual full list of these intrinsic perks have not been revealed but I'm guessing there are a few which can drop this in my opinion is great great news as I was worried that although every weapon of the same name has the exact same perks I honestly can't see bungee adding an enormous arsenal of weapons into the game so that grind we all love for that perfect rolled weapon was going to be a thing of the past giving legendaries intrinsic perks adds that grind for the perfect weapon set up back into the game although weapons I can confirm will be way more balanced across the board this in my opinion is still a great addition you will still get excited if the weapon you've had dropped three times in the past drops a gain because it could offer a different intrinsic perk which could make the weapon better or worse so moving on and as you can see it states weapon mods so what do these two icons mean the first icon is a weapon mod this again can also add an extra perks or to speak to your weapon giving you even more options of having a better rolled weapon of the same name interestingly I have heard from a few different sources who have played this beta early that within this weapon mud slots there are a selection of mud you can apply to the weapon so as I predicted ages ago you can have more than one weapon mod attached to a single weapon which can switch between when you deem fit obviously only one weapon might will be usable at a single time but this like I said ages ago is a great way of saving space within your vault and this is the reason why let me explain this example with a sniper rifle some people will have including me will have like three types of the very same sniper rifle for different circumstances now you can have one sniper rifle with different mugs which would take up the purpose of them three different snipers therefore saving you space within your vault this is my opinion is a great great addition the icon next to it represents a shader so yes people weapon shaders are in the game which is amazing something I'm sure we've all waited for three years now if this was an energy weapon or a weapon in the energy slot a box will be in between these two boxes which would state the weapons elemental damage type which is pretty cool now as I said at the start of the video this info and a screenshot has been taken from the beta which we will get to play tomorrow which I cannot wait for loads of weapons and armors are dropping within this beta which you can inspect and I'm not no guys I'm ending the video not long people not long at all but I hope you guys enjoyed the video do hit that like button I do appreciate the support tell me what you think about this whole new weapon loadout down below in that comment section if you're new around here and enjoy daily destiny make sure you subscribe and I will see you on that next one


I think it's a splendid occasion for the organisation. I think the Marrakesh Treaty, if I may say, is not just one of the successes of recent history of this organisation, but one of the great successes of the organisation in its more than 130-year history now. And I'm delighted to see so many people present who were present in Marrakesh some three years ago when the treaty was concluded and who worked so hard to ensure that we had a consensus result and a result that I think satisfied all interests. I have said on previous occasions that usually a good result multilaterally is when everyone is equally unhappy. In the case of the Marrakesh Treaty, I think we had a result where everyone was equally happy. And that is a reasonably rare event in multilateralism. So we are, I think, entitled as an organisation in the member states to be very proud of the result that was achieved. I would like to thank once again, I did it at the outset of the assemblies, but thank once again the initial 20 countries who constituted the first contracting parties of the Marrakesh Treaty. And in particular, if I may repeat myself, India which led the way with the first ratification, the Latin American continent which constituted the largest number of contracting parties amongst the initial 20 and Australia and Canada who were the first of the developed countries to join the Marrakesh Treaty. And we were reminded this morning that we still have a long way to go and we certainly need to see more countries, more states adhering to the Marrakesh Treaty to ensure that its full potential can be realised. And in particular, those states that have rich collections of books in accessible format. And I should like to thank you, Minister Calero, in particular, for the role that Brazil played as one of the sponsors of the original text that was introduced into the Standing Committee on Copyright and which later became, after some discussion, the Marrakesh Treaty itself. Please allow me also to acknowledge the important contributions, the crucial contributions that were made by what we commonly refer to in the UN system as civil society, which were made by the original initiators of the idea of a treaty in this respect, the World Blind Union and their other partners who really ensured that we all kept our eye on the ball and that the treaty was delivered as a result in a relatively short time for multilateral negotiations. Many of them also work with us in the Accessible Books Consortium about which we'll hear a little more in a moment.


Alveolar sounds get their name from the fact that the alveolar ridge is being used. Again that ridge is just behind the front top row of teeth. Here the tongue is on or very very near the alveolar ridge. It's typically the tip of the tongue or what's just behind the tip of the tongue called the blade of the tongue. Here we're talking about sounds such as and if you say them at home you can tell the tip of your tongue is on that alveolar ridge. Again that's and as well as sounds such as and again the blade of the tongue is just near that alveolar ridge but it is very near nonetheless. The two other sounds that make it into this category is the sound where the tip of the tongue is very clearly touching that alveolar ridge as well as or the R sound where the tongue is just curled a bit but up towards that alveolar ridge. Palata alveolar sounds have the tongue moving ever so slightly back in the vocal track but not quite back to the soft palate. If you compare these sounds to those of the alveolar group you should be able to feel this difference with the tongue moving just a bit slightly back. The sounds in this group include the SH sound of SH. Closer related to that is the Z sound as well as our CH and Z sounds. Moving further back now we have our palatal sound. There's only one and that is the Y sound. Here we have our tongue raised high up against the palate in order to make that sound and therefore it involves the palate so it's our palatal sound. Again that's the Y sound or Y. Further back now we have our velar sounds. They're called so because they involve the tongue being raised against the soft palate and we have a few of those sounds as in and as well as the sound is made here. Again it involves the tongue up against that soft palate or the velar region of our mouth with the K and G as well as M sounds. Finally we have our glottal sound and that's made furthest back in the vocal tract in what's called the glottis. It's way back in the throat in fact not in the mouth and the only sound made there is the H sound or the H sound. You can almost tell when you're saying it that it's made way back in the throat. Your mouth is nice and open, the air is flowing through, there's no vibration anywhere in the vocal tract and the sound is being made way back there. Again that's the H sound.


Welcome to tonight's common council meeting before we start our council meeting. We asked city clerk Sue Richards to read the quote of the week. Thank you, mayor Resolved to make at least one person happy every day and in 10 years you may have made 3,000 people happy or brighten the equivalent of a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment Thank you, and sue it Sue is halfway there. Yeah, right call the 19th regular meeting of the common council to order Please call the roll Boren, Bauch, Decker, Gisha, Hannah, Heidemann, Kittlesen, Clioness, Meijer, Montemayor, Rindfleisch, Ryan, Suric, Vanderweel, Verhasselt, and Wangeman. Excuse 15 present. Quorum is present. At this time I'd ask everyone rise to site the pledge of allegiance. Oldman Bauch, would you please lead us? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, Oldman Bauch. Approval of the minutes, president. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd make a motion to approve the minutes. Second. Motion second to approve minutes under discussion. There is none. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Minutes stand approved. Next item is resignations. Attorney McLean Thank you, Your Honor. The mayor received an e-mail from Grace Starnella advising that she needs to resign from the mayor's international committee. That's for motion to accept the resignation. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd make a motion to accept Grace's resignation. Second. Motion second to accept resignation under discussion. There is none. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Public forum. Madam City Clerk. Thank you. First this evening would be Henry Capitulo. Henry, can you get the mic a little bit closer to where you will be and then I just need your home address please. Sure. I fixed it then there's no charge. That'd be great. And your home address Henry? That's 1619 North 38th Street and that's in the town of Sheboygan. Okay. And you will have five minutes. Okay. How many wrong page here already. Thank you for the opportunity to come before this council to speak on a very important issue. The city of Sheboygan's primary and spring election. I come to speak to the voters of the city of Sheboygan who I know watch these council meetings. If there was any other forum which I could address the voters of Sheboygan I would gladly do so but I will get that to that issue at a later date. As you know there are quite a few individuals that are seeking the office of mayor and some all dramatic seats that are being contested. I plead with the voters of Sheboygan to seriously look at each person that is seeking public office in this election cycle and determine if they are truly worthy of your vote. You may ask what should we be considering expecting of these candidates. My response to you is the following. Keeping property taxes is not the only important issue. It does not matter how low your taxes are if you cannot afford to pay them because you lose your job and the new job that you have only pays minimum wage. I believe that one of the main issues in this election should be job creation job expansion and maintaining existing jobs in the community. And I mean good paying jobs not just jobs like waiters waitresses hotel cleaning jobs and other low paying jobs that have been created by this administration. I ask you to look at the jobs that have been lost over the last year. Three hundred and fifty jobs at Pentair. Ten to fifteen at Zur Hades. Fifty to sixty at Polarware. And one thing that all of these places have in common is that the president administration did not have a clue that these companies were going to leave or were closing down. What does this say about this administration that they are out of touch with some of the business community in the city Sheboygan. How can you expect to keep good paying jobs in the city if you are not able to keep in touch with the manufacturing businesses in the community. It is my understanding that State Assemblyman Terry Van Akron was instrumental in setting up a meeting with the Pentair management with city and Sheboygan County officials to see if they would reconsider leaving the city. Look at the candidates who are presently holding office and see what their track record is in working to create good paying jobs. New candidates what they what they have that have not held public office how they plan to create or attract good paying jobs to the city of Sheboygan. How many times have you heard the administration of how important it is to develop the South Pier district in Blue Harbor. Their emphasis has always been on developing tourism jobs which have traditionally paid lower wages and are sometimes seasonal employment. Individuals cannot raise a family on low wages and seasonal employment. They need full time and good paying jobs. Look at the candidates who presently hold office and see how they have voted in their committees as to job creation job expansion and maintaining existing jobs in the community. For candidates who presently hold office look at what these candidates are proposing to do and how it reflects on promises that they have made in the past. Are they credible truthful or believable. Look close to their pass record. Do they follow through on what they say they plan to do or is it just political grandstanding. Consider the following phrases like action speak louder than words. Lead by example. I don't promises mean nothing. A person's word is his bond. Seeing is believing.  Fool me twice shame on me. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. What do all these phrases have in common value of commitment truthfulness and believability. How many times have you heard people say well all politicians make promises that they cannot keep. My response to that is then you should hold them accountable at the ballot box for their failure to follow through on their campaign promises. Politicians will continue to make idle promises if you are not willing to hold them accountable. It is it is time to hold our elected officials accountable and demand that they look out for the best interest of the city of Sheboygan and the taxpayers. One thing that the city has in common with the state of Wisconsin and the U. S. government is that it is struggling to get its financial house in order. The federal government is looking to spend trillions of dollars to stimulate the economy. The state of Wisconsin is looking to the federal government to help bail out its financial shortfalls. The residents of Sheboygan look to their elected officials to have reassurance that they are doing everything within their power to keep good paying jobs and attract good jobs to the city of Sheboygan and Sheboygan County. Not long ago I remember hearing the city assessor in these chambers call for the city to look at what the city of Manitowoc has done to attract good paying jobs in their community and the city should look at their economic endeavors and accomplishment. In closing, I would say again, I think it's important for... Excuse me, Henry, would you like your additional minute? Yes. I think it's important for the people that are in this community to see what's happening in other parts of this country where people are losing their jobs, are losing their homes, can't make their mortgages. I know that I just read an article not too long ago from the Ken King which said that there's an increase on mortgage late payments and also foreclosures even in the city of Sheboygan. So my request for the individuals that are out there is seriously look at what the candidates are proposing and see what their track record is. See if it's believable, see if it's doable and again, hold them responsible at the ballot box. Thank you very much. Thank you. And last on our list is Joanne Scribner. Joanne, if you could please come up to the front and I will need your address, please. Three Seneca Trail, Sheboygan. Three Seneca. Yes. Okay. And you will have five minutes. Thank you. First of all, I'd like to wish all of you a very merry Christmas belatedly, either last year or very early for 09 and a very happy new year of 2009.  But if I would, I would have played number five, I Listen to the Bells by Luther Van Dross and Darlene Love, Listen to the Bells. So of course I brought some of my bells along with me from my bell collection and you will see how this relates to Sheboygan, trust me. Okay. Okay, bells, Sheboygan, church bells, come to church, hymns and carols, Christmas carols, played on church bells. Like Trinity Lutheran Church, you've probably heard the church Christmas carols from Trinity Lutheran. Faulton Park Church, Ring Church Bells, come to church, services, Merlin Rush rings the bells every single time, I think, for church services. Service Ice Guy, Merlin Rush, been around forever. Bell Choir, Faulton Park Church, Eileen Bailey, so much fun, in fact I skipped out of rehearsal tonight to be here, but I told her. So we're okay. Bells at school, get to class. Hey, school's out, yay. 330-230 Bells at Heritage Mutual Insurance Company, we're talking the old heritage back on North 23rd and Kohler Memorial Drive, I used to work there. Bells for break, yay, back to work, not so much fun. Bells, they don't have bells anymore at a Q&A. I think they're thankful, no more bells. I guess they even have a heritage date at Acuity now where they dress up in old clothes of the 70s or something, or maybe the 60s, whenever, old, imagine. Heritage date, I found this out from one of my sources that actually my friend worked there also had heritage at 1.2. So, Prangies, remember the old H.C. Prangie, I think they had bells there, ding, ding, ding. I think this is correct, no. Don't quote me, I may, my memory may not be quite right there. And as I said, I do have a collection of bells. Door County Bell, Floward, okay. White Porcelain Bell, two Crystal Pring Hands Bells, two Wyoming Bells, three South Dakota Bells, one Nebraska Bell, one Montana Bell, one more Door County Bell, one Wisconsin Al Capone Hideout Bell, yes. One Kentucky Bell that's also in here, two Minnesota Bells, they're both in here. One Dutch Lady Bell, I didn't bring that, that's breakable. One Chicago Bell, one Bell from a lady who used to live in Chicago, worked here, left that home too, also breakable. One Ocean City, Maryland Bell, 150th wedding anniversary bell from Morrison L. Jocelyn, my parents, married July 1st, 1944. One beautiful White Porcelain Bell, Floward, Gary and Joanne, 25th anniversary, October 6th, 1979. I used to have a brass bell from, but I got it at Abu Dhabi or Dubai or Amman, Jordan, one of those places. You know what happened to that thing? I was at the Greyhound Bus Depot in Tallahassee one time. Sitting in the seat next to me, some guy ran right past there, took my purse with a bell and my bus ticket. The whole purse is gone, my bell. But I do have this, still that is from one of those places, either Jordan or Abu Dhabi. So we're okay. And then I had an old fashioned school bell, also brass with a red bow on it. And of course I like school, schools.  I did find this brass bell, back to 24 bells. So what do bells have to do with Sheboygan? Just two points this time. One, the church bells, you know, come to church services, bells played at weddings, at funerals.  And as you probably read the press on January 3rd, saw the recent terrible tragedy here in Sheboygan. It's not an easy thing, you know, death, murder, awful. Sad for all, just feel sad for everybody involved. And yes, we miss those loved ones, especially at Christmas time, you know, about the blue Christmas. I had one of those this year. But even in these death issues are Sheboygan police force, the Sheboygan fire department. Excuse me, Joanne, would you like your extra minute? Yes, please. Okay, go ahead. The Sheboygan fire department ambulances, the Orange Cross ambulances, they are doing their job and they are doing it well. And speaking of the Sheboygan police department, thank you very much police chief David Kirk for all of your years of service here in Sheboygan. And to you and your wife, enjoy that well-earned retirement. And congratulations also to the new interim chief of police, Lieutenant Tim Irick.  I know of one friend of mine who said he got a promotion. I think great way to go. Number two, school bells. I have not taught or been an educational assistant in the Sheboygan area school district for about four years now. But I will be back very shortly. So I'm not personally aware of the courses currently being taught. This may really be a Sheboygan school board issue. So I'm sorry. Maybe I should not be bringing this up here. But my question is, why can the public schools, even nationwide, promote the religion of humanism and not the religion of Christianity? Excuse me, Joanne. Done? Yeah. Okay, that is my question. Thank you very much. Thank you. That's it for the seat. Thank you very much. Thank you to those who addressed the council tonight. Next item on the agenda is a mayor's comments. I've got some comments on our snow removal efforts. Here and there I get calls from the public with concerns about our snow removal efforts to why a certain street wasn't plowed adequately, or why the streets are getting narrower, or why the streets haven't been salted, or why the streets are being cleaned late, or not early enough and so forth. So I just wanted to give the council and the public a brief description of what the work that we've done to date. We've only had snow from November 24th to December 30th, but in that, during that time, we have responded to 13 snowfall events. Now by snowfall events, that's when the snow actually falls. It compels us to go out and do something about that. So if you look at 13 snowfall events in the last month in a couple of days, that's almost one snowfall every other day, every other day and a half. So that's a lot of snow. We are being pounded by Mother Nature again, just like we did last year. And there's no indication that Mother Nature is going to let up on us in the next couple of months, or three months. Two of those events have resulted in the snow emergency being declared, and that's within the last 30 days. So when the snow emergency is declared, people need to react and move their cars. We have received approximately 55 inches of snow to date. Folks, that's a lot of snow. It's really a lot of snow. We're way ahead of last year's pace at this time, the snow we had had by this time last year. And when you look at 55 inches of snow to date, it's a lot of snow and a lot of accumulation. So in itself, the accumulation presents a lot of issues for the Public Works Department. During snowfall events, the DPW Department of Public Works deploys various pieces of equipment, and they make multiple passes on emergency routes and any other streets, hills, and difficult areas to get to. The equipment is deployed. There's a very sound schedule to do that, very accountable schedule, very responsive schedule, but we do what we can with the equipment that we can and the people that we have. The Department of Public Works has made about 23 rounds to date, and by that is cleaning the entire areas. 23 rounds of 200 centerline miles of street. 23 rounds of 200 miles of centerline street. And that equates to about 4,600 miles of centerline miles or 9,200 miles of curb line for this snow season today. That is a lot of area to cover with the people that we have and the equipment that we have. We have used about 2,400 tons of salt that we have, which is about half of the salt that we actually contracted for the entire year. We contracted for 4,800 tons, and we've used about half. And we still have January, February, and March, and a little bit of April here and there to deal with. So as of now, I can tell you were pretty short in the snow for what we anticipate to fall. Currently, we do pay $45 a ton. We have paid $45 a ton for the contract snow that or the contract salt that we have. When that is gone, if we have to go out of the normal process, which we'll have to do because we don't have a contract anymore, we will probably be looking at paying $150 a ton. So it almost does triple, a little over triple the cost. And that's just the way it is. Not unique to Sheboygan. A lot of municipalities in the state of Wisconsin and other states that have heavy snowfall are going to be doing the same thing. So that's where we're up again. In mid-December, we started using salt sparingly because of that. We've used half of our stock already. So we are already using it sparingly. And that's the discretion of the Department of Public Works director and the crew. This year again, I will ask the council to fund an adequate salt shed. I don't know where that's going to go, but I believe that having an adequate salt shed will allow us to have the necessary salt for the number of months that we have salt, just so we can contract it, buy it at the $45 a ton instead of $150 a ton, and be able to store it in stockings for days of emergency. This week, we started widening certain narrow streets and parking impacted areas. We did that because people have been calling. Bill Bidner, director of public works, had already been working on the plan to do that. And I do wish to announce to the public that those areas are being widened now to the extent that we possibly can. A lot of the snow is frozen right now, so we're having to deal with that issue itself. All in all, I'm asking for your help. I would ask that you help us by, first of all, being patient with our snow cleaning efforts. We're not ignoring the situation. We're not neglecting our responsibility. We're being as extremely responsive as we possibly can in dealing with the situation. We have very committed people at the Department of Public Works that really care and know what they're doing and go out about and do it, but it's hard to keep up with the snowfall. I also ask that people move their cars when they're supposed to. We get a lot of complaints of people not moving their cars. Subsequently, snow plows have to go around, and if they go around pretty much every single time, they're going to bury their car. And in addition to having that car bury, they're going to get a ticket. And they're going to get a ticket because we need the public to comply with our ordinances so we can clean the streets, not because we need any money. I'd rather not have the money, and that's not the issue. The issue is to move the car so we can adequate clean the streets. I would also ask that the people help by cleaning around the fire hydrants when they're able to. We haven't had a real bad fire during the winter months, during the winter time yet, but if we were to have one, we certainly would like to have those fire hydrants cleaned. And in the past, the fire department has sent out crews to clean, but there's too many of them. So we ask the public to help us when they're able to. Also, I would ask that the public do their share to clean their sidewalks and driveways. I get calls from people who say my neighbor or a resident, a block away, has not cleaned their sidewalks. I almost fail. I can't walk through it. I have to walk in the streets. So I ask that the public help us out by cleaning their sidewalks and their driveways as soon as they possibly can. And then, of course, I also ask for your help in driving more carefully when it's snowing and when there's a snow emergency out there. And if you really don't need to go somewhere, stay home. I get a lot of concern from the Department of Public Works and the police and fire departments that ask us if you don't need to go somewhere during a snow emergency, it's best to stay home. It helps us clean our streets better. It helps police be more responsive and fire department be more responsive. And it keeps us citizens out of harm's way also. And then, of course, I would ask that you help us by understanding that this is Wisconsin and we get lots of snow and we just have to deal with that. And finally, if the public has any concerns, I'd ask that they call the Department of Public Works and express their concerns there if they get no results and they should call an unholyman or the mayor's office. And I would like to thank the Department of Public Works, Bill Bidner for the hard work and for his crew for the hard work that they're doing to date. We anticipate a lot more snow bill and I know you'll be on top of that. I appreciate that. Also, thanks to the fire department who are ready to go whenever necessary. Thank God they haven't been deployed yet. And, of course, to the police department for the work that they've done. And speaking of the police department, I'd like to extend my congratulations to Interim Chief Tim Iric and congratulate him and introduce Interim Chief Iric to the public and to the, I believe the council already know it, but I'd like to ask him to come up here real quickly, Chief, if you would. Chief Iric was chosen from a slate of four candidates by the police and fire commission and there was no shortage of good qualified candidates. Unfortunately, only one could be selected. Chief Iric was selected and he used them in. I'll turn the mic on. Pretty safe. I guess I didn't expect to speak, so make it very brief, Mayor. I just want to extend my sincere appreciation for all the support, Mayor, from you, common council members for this interim position. I look forward to the challenges that we have upcoming. We've lost a lot of our command staff, but I think with challenges also becomes some ideas where new ideas can be implemented within our department. And I also look forward to working with each and all of you to enhance our department over the next year. So, and again, I'd like to extend that open door. If you have any questions, anything you need to know about the police department or need to know our question about us, please call or please stop in. We have a nice new facility. Hopefully you all made it there. And if you haven't, I'd be more than happy to take you through it and show it because we're extremely proud of it. Again, thank you very much. And I look forward to working with you in 2009. Thank you, Chief. And on that good note, I will stop talking and we will proceed. Consent agenda. President, I was 19-1 through 19-6. You're right. I'd like to pull forward 19-6 before I go on with the consent, if I might. Please do. You're going to make a motion? That would be, I'll make a motion to put the ROB accepted and placed on file. To accept and adopt the reported committee. Yeah, I'm sorry. Accept and adopt the reported committee. Second. There's a motion and a second. And that is being pulled out for a separate vote, Alderman. After that, we'll take a vote on the remaining five items and the consent agenda. Any discussion on the 19-6? There'll be a non-pluscular rule. Warren. Aye. Bauch. Decker. Gisha. Aye. Hanna. Abstain. Heidemann. Aye. Kittleson. Aye. Kleinis. Aye. Meyer. Montemayor. Aye. Rindflige. Aye. Ryan. Aye. Zurich. Aye. So, we're finished with the exception of six. I'll promote any discussion on those remaining items. Oh, I need a motion to make a motion for all ROs be accepted and placed on file and all RCs be accepted and adopted. Second. Motion and second. Under discussion. There is no discussion. Please call the roll. Bauch. Aye. Decker. Aye. Gisha. Aye. Hanna. Aye. Renfleisch, Ryan, Zurich, Vanderweel, Verhasselt, and Warren, 15 ayes. Motion carries. Communications and petitions, 19-7 to be referred. Report of officers 2, 19-8 through 19-16 to be referred. Resolutions introduced 3, 1917 by Oldman Ryan, improving the terms and conditions of the contract of sale of land for private redevelopment by the buy and between the redevelopment authority and the Javi companies LLC for the former Kingsbury property, Oldman Ryan. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move for suspension of the rules. Is there a second? Second. Is there any objection? Is there an objection or an explanation? There is no objection, so please proceed. Okay. Explanation, Your Honor. We have in the works a $250,000 Department of Commerce Brownfields grant for this particular property that will not be issued until the developer's agreement is complete. And this is a time sensitive manner and therefore this is why we are moving to suspend the rules this evening. Yeah, I just need a motion to put the resolution upon its passage. And I do motion to put the resolution upon its passage. Motion and second. Any further discussion on that? Are you done? Are we on the suspension or on the passage? On the passage. This is a, this is the Javi companies is going to develop this property. It's great for the city of Sheboygan. Minimum investment of $5.7 million on this property. It will be two and three bedroom apartments, which will be some market rate, some affordable rate, and a $300,000 price tag on the property itself. So it's, it's a, a good move to expand the tax base in the city. Thank you. Thank you. I want to tell you this. Thank you, Your Honor. The question was answered. I just wanted to know what kind of construction is going to be on the property. Thank you. Any other discussion? I would like to extend my thanks to Paulette Enders and Chad. They've done an incredible amount of work here. This is, as was noted, will expand the tax base. This is probably one of the few leftover pieces of land of this size in the city. And it's going to be put to good use as far as development and as far as expanding the tax base. So Paulette, Chad, thank you very much. There is no more discussion. Please call the roll. Decker, Gisha, Hannah, Heidemann, Kittlesen, Clioness, Meyer, Montemayor, Rinfleisch, Ryan, Zurich, Banderwheel, Rehassel, Boren, and Bulk. 15 ayes. Motion carries. 1918, lies over. 1919 through 1923 to be referred. Report of committee 6, 1924 by finance. Recommended filing documents submitting a communication from the town of Wilson requesting that the city pay $22,900 for the partial pay in a panther avenue that was inadvertently done by the town based on the Department of Transportation certifying the miles wrong and approving the payment. All in Gisha. Thank you, Your Honor. I move that the report of committee be accepted and adopted. Second. Motion and second under discussion. Vice President Boren. Thank you, Your Honor. I'm going to vote no on this tonight as I did in the finance committee. I had a couple calls from constituents about this issue and while the city did benefit from this paving on panther avenue over in my district and I want to keep good relations with the town of Wilson, the Department of Transportation made an error in the map that they provided to the town of Wilson and therefore they went ahead and actually paved in the city of Sheboygan. I wish the town of Wilson would check with the Department of Transportation first seeing they made the error and have the the the state of Wisconsin Department of Transportation pay the $22,900 instead of the city of Sheboygan and for that reason I'm not going to support this. Thank you. Thank you. Any other discussion? There is none. Please call the roll. Yasha. Hannah. Heidemann. Kittleson. Clioness. Meyer. Montemayor. Rinfleisch. I'm sorry. Thank you. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderwheel. Verhassell. Born. Bauch. And Decker. Leveneis. Four Noes. Motion carries. 1925 by law and licensing recommending the nine beverage operators license number 8110 based on the applicant's ineligibility to wholly license Vice President Bourne. Thank you Your Honor. I move that the report of committee be accepted and adopted. Motion and second. Under discussion. Under discussion Your Honor is B.D. Johnson here tonight. She's not here Your Honor. Thank you. Please proceed. Miss Johnson was convicted of a felony for manufacture and delivery of drugs and that felony makes her ineligible for the license so that's why we decided not to grant it. Very well thank you. Any other discussion? There being none please call the roll. Hannah. Heidemann. Kittleson. Clioness. Meyer. Montemayor. Rinfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderwheel. Verhassell. Born. Bauch. Decker. And Gisha. 15 Noes. Motion carries. Report of officers eight 1926 by committee of the whole recommending creating a temporary government structure committee as to the economic and administrative feasibility of having a city manager or city administrator versus a full-time mayor and a corporate council versus a city attorney and passing the attached substitute resolution. Alderman Bauch. Thank you Your Honor. I'd move that the the report be accepted and adopted in the substitute resolution be put upon its passage. Second. Motion and second under discussion. Thank you Your Honor. I would just explain the committee of the whole had a good discussion about this process and that the only change we made to the resolution was to accelerate the process so this do no later the first recommendation we do no later the March 16th so that this can the first way in can be done before the current election is held so that the candidates some of the candidates will be held to weigh in on their opinion of some of these things. They'll have some time to do that and then seeing how the committee didn't feel that the office of the mayor should have to be responsible for appointing members to a committee that would be looking into the office of the mayor the role of the mayor so the committee thought it was important to help help that process out and appoint some and again there's some great members on there all city city people but people who have an outreach to the board of education the board of the county board and then some private citizens so that about wraps it up. There's no more discussion please call roll. Heidemann. Kittleson. Clayunis. Meyer. Montemayor. Rindfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderwheel. Berhassel. Bourne. Falk. Decker. Gisha. And Hannah. 15 ayes. Motion carries. Matters laid over 11 1836 resolution number 175809 by Alderman Gisha, Clayunis, Bourne, Bauch and Montemayor authorizing a transfer of appropriations in the 2008 budget.

Alderman Gisha. Thank you your honor I move that the resolution be put upon its passage. Motion and second. Under discussion. There is none please call roll. Kittleson. Clayunis. Meyer. Montemayor. Rindfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderwheel. Berhassel. Bourne. Bauch. Decker. Gisha. Hannah. And Heidemann. 15 ayes. Motion carries 1837 RC number 35060809 by the group health insurance committee recommending authorizing engaging the services of an independent audit and firm to review the city's medical benefit plan claims experience for the years 2006 seven and eight. Alderman sir. Thank you your honor I move that the reporter committees be accepted and adopted and the resolution be put upon his passage. Motion and second. Under discussion. Who did who did the second I'm sorry. Who second. I didn't hear a second. Nobody second. Is there a second to that motion? Second. Motion second. Under discussion. Alderman Montemayor. Thank you your honor we had two insurance committee meetings and these questions were thoroughly and completely answered by Terry Hansen so I do not support spending more money on this. Thank you President Hannah. Thank you Mr. Mayor. I believe in the regular course of our standard audit the current auditing form firm at the direction Terry Hansen can gather this information and include it in the ordinary audit. There's no need to have a separate audit or a separate firm brought in and in the management letter they can express their opinion on the comparability over those three years. So I won't support this because I believe it can be done by our regular auditing firm. You want to make a motion to file in? I would make a motion to file. Is there a second second. Under discussion on the motion to file I've got a light blinking right now. Anybody on the motion to file Alderman's uh rain pleasure over next? I think we have a motion that we need to act on right now. Motion to accept. It was seconded. I do an idea of vote on that one first before we go on to the motion file or does the motion file overrule everything else? Motion to file is always take over. Take precedence yes. No that my comment would be a second additional motion. Okay on the motion to file no one okay I'm going to turn off the lights if there is any discussion. On the motion to file please call the roll. Oh who would like to speak?  Thank you Your Honor. No I just I want clarification on this. We're going to file this communication because the audit has already or just explain again please. Please put it on. Mr. Mayor this year the I think the audience from the shank and associates the Green Bay Office does the audit. Terry Hansen will request that they meet these standards in their in their ordinary course of doing the audit so we don't have to create another audit function or expense or expense. Thank you. Alderman Kittleson you want like. Thank you. Thank you. Uh Alderman sorry. Yeah just for clarification I expect to move the motion being there to have an audit under the resolution as stated but have it done by shank. Is that correct? No the motion is to file. Well the direction to Terry Hansen is in that direction. Okay. Alderman Rahasel. Thank you Your Honor. Seeing cost as a concern is there an idea of what that cost might be if we did hire an independent auditor. We have an idea from experience past history have we done this before do we know what cost we're avoiding? No I don't have any cost but whatever it costs it's certainly going to be needless because we have a auditing firm that does this for us. The reason I ask I'm sorry to follow up I guess if this is successful I'm sure this person could pay for themselves or this firm could pay for themselves four times over depending on what the results are you know the whole idea behind this is to recommend reductions in cost and so on so I'm all right spending the money as long as there's that potential for upside which I think there probably is so I'm just curious what that cost might be up front. President Hanna was going to address you. Sure I think Mr. Mayor I think that shank and associates will achieve exactly what Alderman Rahasel is attempting to achieve under our our existing contract with them. I understand what he's trying to accomplish but they're held to an accounting standard so they will certainly do the job within those standards. Thank you. There's no more discussion please call the roll on the motion to file. Clowness. Meijer. Montemayor. Rinfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderweel. For Hassel. Boren. Bulk. Decker. Gisha. Hannah. Heidemann. I'm sorry. Thank you. Kittleson. 15 ayes. Motion carries. There is an item on the agenda not a number, notice of intent to discharge a group health insurance committee. President Hanna in a motion. Thank you Mr. Mayor. I'd make a motion to discharge the group health insurance committee regarding the following documents 1741 which is resolution 1690809 and 1642 which is resolution 1540809. Would you like an explanation? That's fine. Is there motion and second? Motion second under discussion. Alderman Reinfleisch. Thank you Mr. Mayor. I guess I would like some discussion explanation on since we're into 2009 now we're establishing plans have these been established already within committee or if we recall them and we either approve or deny them what's the status of that it seems odd that we're pulling them back from a group health committee without a recommendation group health committee and what to do in this aspect. Alderman Gisha your response to that. Sure thank you your honor these documents were in finance where they're normally voted on for the insurance establishing insurance rates and at the same time they were in finance group health kind of fired itself back up after being relatively dormant for a relatively long period of time so we referred them for their review but as far as the vetting of the of the numbers and the presentation of of the rates and so forth that was done in finance we just decided to step back and let group health take a look at it and at that time so the presentation was made on the information if that was the main question. Alderman Hath. Yes I thank you Mr. Mayor and group health has met twice on these items and I just thought it was appropriate for to bring it back now for the council to vote. Thank you. Alderman Montemayol. Thank you your honor there's a little bit of history a couple of council meetings ago we were going to address these two these agenda items but they were sent both to group health and we've gotten no answers from group health. Thank you. There is a motion to discharge the the motion to discharge right? Motion to discharge group health. Please call oh I can just call a vote. Somebody wants to talk on a motion to discharge yet? Alderman Kettleson. Thank you your honor um I'm just what does that mean we're voting on both of these issues? No we're just it's it's a prerequisite to acting on 1741 and 42. Thank you. Thank you. Who's of order? Alderman Rihassel. Thank you your honor it's always that to me it's serious to pull something out of committee um is there a member of the committee that would like to speak to this obviously there must have been an obstacle or what was the exact I heard some explanations but I'm still not clear exactly why we're pulling it from that committee why they weren't why they haven't made a decision. Is there someone who can speak to that? I believe Alderman Montemayol did the Alderman Montemayol you did that. Thank you we went to group health and there was lots of discussion and lots of discussion but another piece of information is that half of the committee members are union representatives so it isn't even appropriate that they would be giving a recommendation for their own um amounts that they should be standing. Alderman Sartre. Thank you and I'm chairman of group health insurance committee and actually did meet twice to discuss the the rates pre-rates and discussion more was why were they so high as opposed to how we got there and it's kind of agreed that okay we understand that we do have an issue we're going from a seven million dollar bill for insurance to a nine million dollar bill but it's going to have to be paid so basically the feeling of the committee was let's get on with approving it because we're into oh nine already but we still want to have that's why we've brought the other resolution into to examine the cost factors within our insurance why they are going up so high and to perhaps find some solutions to that. Thank you. On the notice to Mr. President Barron. Thank you I have a question I have a question for Alderman Sartre. Hopefully he can answer or somebody else from the insurance committee the premium rates that we're setting for 2009 are the premiums going to cover our full possible exposure for employee health insurance or are we going to have to dip into some reserves that we have set aside and make the premium increases even more erroneous next year. Alderman Sartre, clarification. Thank you. Well what happened was in 2008 we actually we did use our reserves and it's when I was involved with the insurance we tried to maintain a 1.2 million reserve in case it was a bad year those reserves were extinguished. So for 2009 we don't want to be left bearing without having reserves so that's where the premiums are going up so high to reestablish this reserve in case we get experience a bad year. Thank you. Okay on just simply the motion to discharge we're not acting on the resolutions yet. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Okay now we go to 1741 resolution number 1690809 by Alderman Hanna established in the monthly premium equivalent rates for the dental insurance plan effective January 2009 covered. President Hanna any motion? Thank you Mr. Mayor I move that the resolution be put upon its passage. Motion is second under discussion. There is none please call a roll. Planus. Aye. Meyer. Aye.

Alderman Montemayor. Thank you Your Honor. I move that the ordinance be put upon us passage. We need that generally it's a change in the TO that generally would lie over it will lie over now the only way to act on it to ask for suspension. I ask for suspension. Is there a second to that or any objection to that? We need a second. There's an objection. Then the matter will lie over. Other matters up there? On bulk. Thank you Your Honor. I'd like to like to suggest that this document a lot of my colleagues here have have tried to get more information on this particular ordinance and the minutes from the Seller Agreements Committee of December 12th or 18th whatever that date was have not been made public yet. This is a surprise to a lot of people we don't know a lot about it so I'm wondering if a Committee of the Whole meeting might be appropriate between now and then for us to to to hold so I would move that this document be referred to the Committee of the Whole that the Committee of the Whole we would include it in our meeting which is next Monday night and I'd ask that Director Bittner and Chairperson Meyer be available that night and that the Seller Agreements Committee meetings minutes be published before that night so that in Alderman if you have questions please get them out there so that Director Bittner and Chairman Chairperson Meyer can be there to get us as much information as we can about this because this has a lot of people concerned. I'm sure there are great explanations we just don't know what those explanations are. Second motion and second to refer to Committee of the Whole under discussion just so it will move or hassle. Your Honor I'd also like to ask that this be sent to the Committee of Public Works seeing this is directly a Public Works related issue that it be sent to that Committee for further in-depth discussion at the Committee level. That needs to be included in your do you want to include that in your motion you're going to have multiple referrals. Thank you Your Honor I would ask all the person who has it if it would be okay if a potential outcome of that committee the whole meeting would be really referred to public works after we get our kick at it if this should go to them if we feel that way that yeah that I would be fine with that Your Honor I just think just for a matter of pure respect out of the standing five standing committees that something as important and specific as Public Works go to the Public Works Committee but I can live with Alderman Boak's suggestion. Thank you and I would suggest that we have that meeting all worded on the agenda to meet there's a finance committee meeting all word the agenda to meet at 6 30 or immediately following finance committee being so I think it's a finance agenda thank you thank you Alderman Meyer thank you Your Honor um this actually is in our committee at this point um we did not have a quorum at our last meeting which we would have been discussing this so it is actually in the committee this doesn't need to be sent to us in public works in public works yes and just just a reminder I know that some alderman are not able to make the committee meetings but if you need information by all means you're all welcome to attend the committee meetings and engage ask questions there sometimes it's best that you attend the meetings if you're able to further discussion on the rehearsal thank you Your Honor can I ask Madam Chair of the Public Works Committee then will it be on this Thursday's committee agenda Alderman Meyer Your Honor yes thank you it will be on the agenda for this week again thank you on the motion to refer to the committee of the whole 1927 all in favor say aye any opposed motion carries other matters attorney McLean 1928 is an arrow by the city clerk submitting various license applications for the period ending June 30 2009 and June 30 2010 that goes to law and licensing 1925 is a communication from all the person born along with an article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel limiting property tax will be no that should be easy I believe feet that goes to finance committee the whole and how many other committees you wanted to go no just kidding just kidding I know I don't just finance and committee the whole continue 1930 is a communication from all the person born along with an article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Midwest states may work together to buy road salt it goes to public works 1931 is an arrow by the deputy finance director treasurer submitting the municipal court monthly finance report is submitted to the state treasurer and the statement of municipal court revenues and expenditures as of November 30 2008 and the statement of fines and fees collected in November 2008 by the spoiled county court of courts and will be referred to finance and joint municipal court 1932 is an ordinance repealing substituted general ordinance number 10708 which granted an encroachment to richard a wilkins his heirs and assigns upon described portions of north 13th street and michigan avenue in the city for the purpose of maintaining a patio area that lies over need a motion to adjourn all in favor say aye on adjourn


Boom! What's going on, money geeks? I'm Zovee here. Welcome to another video here. So, in today's video, we are going to talk about a little bit of crypto, specifically Shiba. So, this means a movement in the market and Elon Musk and some stuff in Shiba is on the rise. So, I wanna make sure that we cover it here because I did have some fun with the token as well. So, I'm still having fun with it. So, I wanna kinda share that with you guys and hopefully some of you guys are out there having fun with it. So, we're gonna talk about that in today's video. But before we get started, guys, if you're new to the channel, we're talking about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So, if you have something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. So, when it comes to crypto, guys, there is what I call stable cryptocurrencies and the ones that are meme crypto. So, stable would be something like Bitcoin and Ethereum. So, I do have those long term and I'm actually holding them so I'm not selling those, but you have the meme ones like Dogecoin as well as Shiber here that are moving just because of maybe a tweet or Reddit that people are talking about it, sort of pushing the price. So, most recently it's been Shiber. So, if you guys know Shiber, it's a spin off from Dogecoin. So, when Dogecoin first came into the picture, people, I mean, it was a meme token and Elon Musk single-handedly pushed this thing to the upside. And then they kind of got a spin off which is called Shiber and their nickname is the Dogecoin killer. So, they were going after Dogecoin to kind of take some of that money. So, the one thing I want to just say here as a disclaimer is that when it comes to these meme stocks, they don't really have a use case in my opinion and that's how I identify which cryptocurrency I want to invest in.  So, these Dogecoin, Shiber, their use cases are not up to par in my personal take. But, hey, I can risk $300, $500 or $1,000 on this just because, I mean, it's fun and the upsides are excellent but I don't anticipate that, hey, this is stuff that's gonna be around forever. Again, that's just my personal take. For these particular ones, because I believe that the cryptocurrencies are really stable are the ones that are gonna play a huge part in this blockchain moving forward. So, now, Shiber, I don't even know what this price would be but let's kind of take a look here and I'm gonna explain to you guys what happened here. So, if you guys can see the price has been, so you can read that on the screen. I don't even know, I mean, zero, zero, zero, something, so seven. And it's been like that for a while. And then just recently, this thing started to curl up. You see, as of October, it's gonna curl up. So, if you can see now, I just went back a week. This thing has moved 165% in just within a week. So, again, if you got down here, if you bought Shiber down here or even down here back in early October, look at how high this thing has gone up to not sitting up there, now I wanna go to the tap. All right, right there. That is huge movement. So, a lot of people, I personally made some money because I bought it, my average was under seven, which is around six something right here. So, one of my subscribers in a Discord server actually put out a challenge that we should strive to get 100 million tokens of Shiber, which I was this close to getting that before this pop. So, as soon as it popped, and I mean, me personally, I looked at it and said, hey, money I was putting in there was just like, hey, I was just taking a chance. So, what do I do? I take my profit and then I just leave the rest, right? So, I don't know how many tokens I have right now. So, maybe about 40 or 50 million tokens, but I'm just right. Those are free tokens. I've already taken out my initial investment. So, I'm just letting those right for long haul. But here's why Shiber started taking out because Elon Musk posted this video. And again, you guys know back when Dogecoin started popping too, it was because Elon Musk was tweeting about it. So, now Shiber is also getting that press or getting that exposure through Elon Musk. And you can see here, the new Shiber coin jumped 30% and deleted a zero after a tweet from Elon Musk sending the Dogecoin spin off surging. So, when they say deleted a zero here, I think if you go to the price of Shiber, you can see right here, that tells you why I couldn't even read the price. So, if you count the zeros, so you have zero point, if you count the zeros, you delete one, means you move forward one zero. So, that's a huge movement with Shiber. So, that's why it's deleted a zero. So, again, reason why Shiber is popping, it's gonna recap here is because Elon Musk posted this meme of their Shiber. And so, people are talking about it, the price jump. And for most people, if you are just going in for some fun and to make some extra cash, it's cool.  And when you see that money, when you recover that money in terms of profit, in my personal opinion, take your initial investment out and go try something else and then leave that one to ride because that's how you continue to build.  So, I mean, three, four, 500 bucks in here would have been, would have given you a lot of tokens which you could, with this movement, you could easily sell. So, it's actually pulling back a little bit but maybe it's just pulling back to consolidate and then pop again, who knows? This, I mean like, honestly guys, this is really no formula with this thing. It could go up anytime, it can just drop because right now, Bitcoin is heading up, I think Bitcoin just cracked $50,000 again. Ethereum is heading up. So, if Ethereum can get back to 4,000, I think that would be good. But other than that, all these other meme stocks or meme tokens, take your initial investment, let the gains ride and then you can save that investment again when your prices drop, you load up more and continue to build. So, hopefully you can get 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 million tokens. Would not be great. So, yeah, that's all I wanted to cover here in this video. Again, guys, let me know in the comment section what you think about this. Are you currently invested in Shiba? Do you have a big position or are you just playing around with it? Like, I am doing, I mean, I'm only risking somewhere between 300 and $1,000 and I already recovered all my initial investment just for transparency. Whatever I have right now in there is just free money that I just made, which is fun in my personal opinion. Again, let me know what you think about in the comment section. If you're new here, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So, that's something that interests you. Go ahead and hit that subscribe button and your notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. Also, guys, if you're looking to get started with investing, Rebo has their promotion and they also have cryptocurrencies. So, you can buy Shiba, you can buy Dogecoin on that platform. I'll put the links in the description below. So, sign up and get some free stocks and free crypto. And as always, guys, do your due diligence.  Stay motivated.


In this study, researchers examined how the development of a complex schema influenced predictive processes during perception and impacted sequential memory. The participants played a new board game called Foreign Arrow over six training sessions and then took a memory test where they had to recall sequences of moves from the game. As the participants' schema developed, they became more accurate in remembering the sequences and their eye movements also changed. Researchers found that the best predictors of memory performance were the number of times the participants looked at the board before making a move and the amount of time spent looking at the board after making a move. This suggests that the ability to predict future events is important for successful memory formation. This article was authored by Joanne Huang, Isabel Velarde, Wei Yijima, and others.
