Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, giving everybody welcome to another edition of the AccessaTrader.com nightly wrap up show. Yeah, what you're seeing in front of you is pretty real.  And I think, again, the really smart crowd on Wall Street, the it doesn't make sense crowd, the 25 million people filing for unemployment crowd, the stay at home band crowd, it doesn't make sense crowd, right? Market doesn't make sense. Remember that a couple of weeks ago, we kind of realized that it doesn't make a difference anymore. Okay, I think more people are going to be more on tilt in this move in the market to the upside. Just in the last three weeks, then we actually saw the destruction of equity prices to the downside in March. And after tomorrow, we're probably after this gap up tomorrow, and we'll talk about individual pivots in a second. But we're literally going to eliminate those losses. We're going to eliminate those losses for the month of March. And I'm telling you, when it's all said and done, and all the smoke is clear, you're going to see funds blowing the hell out, not on the way down on the way up, because again, it didn't make sense. They were going to have crappy earnings, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I've always said for years and years and years, there's so many hedge funds out there and blah, blah, blah. It's much easier to raise money than to manage money. And the most craziest part about this is nobody's ever experienced it, but yet it's starting to get painfully obvious that no matter what you do on the short side as a longer term thesis is being completely pushed to the side. And ever since, earnings has begun two and a half weeks ago. We've been talking about the possibilities of company after company after company, no matter what they come out with, doesn't make a difference, no matter how crappy their earnings are, the market is going to give every single company a pass. And that's exactly what we're seeing. It started off, and again, the most amazing part, it started off with IBM. It really did. It started off with IBM. They came out with earnings. And ever since earnings, the stock has gone from 112 to 130. Caterpillar came out a couple of days ago, down 20%, blah, blah, blah, all across the board. The stock is literally 15, 20 points above earnings. And again, if you look at what's happening this evening, and if you thought that the companies that were suffering because of some sort of slow down in closing the doors or whatever the case may be, look at tech, right? Microsoft exploding, Amazon, Amazon is reporting tomorrow. This is just on the tail, on the fumes of what's going on tonight. You got Facebook surging, Tesla's just going out of its mind, completely out of its mind. You got Microsoft surging. So if you thought today's 3.5% move on the Nasdaq was crazy for shorts, wait till they open tomorrow, right? Just wait till they open. You're getting ridiculous pushes after the close. And again, I didn't wake up one morning and said, wow, this market's going to completely disregard bad earnings. Again, you see it. You start to develop it year after year through different crises. If you go back to even the 9-11, the quarter after 9-11, a lot of companies were getting mulligans. Because again, think about what was happening during that time. When you saw earnings coming out after the mortgage crisis, right? In the middle of the mortgage crisis. And again, if a company didn't announce that they're closing down their doors after tens of billions of dollars of write downs, the market kind of gave them a mulligan. That's why a lot of these companies actually survived. And this, you know, fast forward 2020, unfortunately, a lot of funds are going to remember 2020, not because of the destruction of equity prices because of this rabid, nasty, ugly-ass COVID-19, is because they were on the wrong side of common sense. And again, that's what I've been saying for years, man.  I've been saying this for years of doing this broadcast. I'm not smart enough to figure out next week or next month or next year, man. I'm just trying to take it day at a time and, you know, collecting that data and for, you know, for all the new traders that are going through a market like this or any market, okay? Any market of, you know, imperfect logical thinking. Just always put it into your memory bank and kind of store it aside. So next time around, and God forbid we have something like this five years from now, 10 years from now, 12 years from now, whatever the case may be, you'll remember what the tendency was of the market that nothing made sense, okay? That stocks didn't react to bad news. That companies came out with horrific quarters and were still embraced. And all these things you start to put into your mental rolodex and you start utilizing them year after year after year. And remember guys, if you're a brand new trader, remember, like I said a couple of weeks ago, you're going to be a better trader in year 10 than you are year two. It's just the reality. Experience is going to help you. Eventually it's going to get you to where you need to be. The only thing you need to do is stay patient, stay calm, and everything will kind of work out. But again, you need to retain bad, you know, you really need to retain good information. There's so much information out there. And unfortunately for all those people that are sitting there, I can't believe it. It doesn't make sense. Again, it doesn't need to make sense. Hopefully everybody is doing well. Again, you know, pretty solid pivots today. Again, Beta's crazy. I mean, Beta's absolutely out of its mind. Netflix, you know, Netflix was a good turnaround play today. Roku was a good turnaround play today. You've seen NVIDIA, good plays. It was actually a lot of value to the downside as well with the same names of NVIDIA, excuse me, with Netflix, with Roku, with BYND. So you had something for everybody. The key to the game is, again, not to get caught up in the bright light. So for example, for tomorrow's session, I'm not really concentrating on Tesla and Amazon and Facebook and Microsoft. I'm going to be looking at the laggards, right? The companies that got beaten up or are in consolidation mode, like for example, like Netflix. Again, we caught a pretty good pivot today in Netflix. And again, I'm looking for Netflix to reclaim supply. I'm looking for Roku to reclaim supply. I'm looking for BYND. And again, they don't have to do it tomorrow. But these are the plays that I'm watching for tomorrow to reclaim supply. I'm watching for Alibaba tomorrow to kind of wake up and reclaim supply. I'm watching for Chipulti that actually had a really good quarter, right? Really good quarter and actually really started off this aggressive buying and start coming out of this three, four-day area of supply to reclaiming to go back to the highs. I'm watching the shops that had the really, really big run and trying to desperately coming out of this 60-minute cycle. So again, we have to concentrate on the ones that are lagging, that haven't reported yet. They're coming out of this channel. And with this momentum, it becomes a really, really good area to take advantage, again, of the ignorant, of the stubborn shorts that keep on saying, this is impossible, this doesn't make sense, this can't happen. It's happening.  So let's talk about today's pivots. Again, pretty good indication today. Yesterday's video, if you guys remember, the question was, was AMD going to pull down everything else? Or is Google for God's sake? If Google of all things, going to pull everything up? And again, my first instinct was, well, I thought semiconductors were going to get pulled down. Again, I was wrong. Who cares, right? Who cares? I'm not sitting there betting on semiconductors overnight. Who gives, right? Who cares? We're waiting for confirmation. And we got our answer, man. This market is just an absolute rocket ship, really, really rocket ship. If you thought the surges were insane in 2019, this is 220 with everything going on. There's panic buying in some of these names, which is unbelievable. So let's talk about this. So again, like I said, it was value to the downside, to the upside. Obviously, Tesla is having its own song and dance here at the close. But Netflix, this is the one that started off the day. 398, if it builds below, can flush more. And again, the market started going, the market started popping this morning because you know, Gilead got halted and Dr. Fauci said, hey, man, this is good news. This is good news. And here was Netflix. Here was the whole pivot, excuse me, here was the whole pivot right over here. Here was the whole channel here, which was 398, excuse me, right here, 398, 398. It broke the 398, went all the way down to 393. Gilead, again, 87.50, if it builds, can push. Again, this is where Dr. Fauci started talking about this is actually really, really good news. This is a pretty good stamp of approval. So here was the 87.50, right? Here was the 87.50, was it here? I'm sorry, excuse me, excuse me, it was right here. Here was the 87.50 on Gilead and it broke and it just exploded, it just absolutely exploded. I keep on saying 87.50. I think my dyslexia is kicking in. I wrote the wrong price. It was obviously 82.50. I wrote the wrong price.  It was this 82.70 level and just exploded went all the way to 85. Pardon me, my dyslexia kicked in. Roku, again, perfect example of good value to the downside, value to the upside. Roku, 118, support that builds below can flush. Here was Roku, right? Here was Roku right here, this whole 118 area, right? 118 went down to like 115 and change on Roku. W, I don't think W did anything. 122 if it builds below can flush. I wasn't watching W, so I apologize. No, held the 122.30 again, so that never triggered. Bowling, keep this bowling pivot in mind. There was actually a sneaky pivot. There was actually a sneaky pivot to the upside. This obviously went nuts as well, went to like 45. But there was actually a sneaky pivot. BYND, 100 if it builds below can flush. Here was BYND. Here was BYND. It took out $100.80, went down to 97.90s. Big move there as well. Gilead again, it was a better pivot lower. Take on the way down, right? Take on the way down, new lows. 97.90s lows, take on the way down. Again, nice move on Netflix. Here was the sneaky pivot in the afternoon. Excuse me, right before lunchtime. 138.60 on Bowling needs to build. If it can build above that, you should see the highs. Remember that 140.75 area that we talked about below? Here was the sneaky pivot on Bowling. Here was the sneaky pivot right here on Bowling. You see this candle right here, guys? This is what we talked about, the sneaky pivot. 138.60. Here was the pre-market highs where we talked about 140.75, 141, and this thing just absolutely exploded to 47. Congratulations for all you guys who caught that as well. Again, take on the way up, Bowling fire, blah, blah, blah. 142.70s next supply, it just went through it. It just went through it like it wasn't even there. 82.70, take on the way up. Again, went to 85. Big move there as well. And I said, hey, listen, great job. I stopped trading at lunchtime. I think my mom's delivery, I think something happened to it. So I had to drive to my mom's house.  So I was kind of done with the day. I came back a little bit right before the close. So again, Gilead exploding. So again, great job there as well. And you know, here's, I posted, there was some bets, pretty notable bets here for Tesla Facebook before the earnings. You can see a pretty aggressive bet here before the earnings into the 800 calls. This guy got ridiculously paid a big, very aggressive buyer, the 1320s for June.  You saw the 200 calls, the 215 calls, the 210 calls, what a lot of really good, really, really a lot of good, you know, good premium being bet. You can see that on the second one as long as well. You know, good bets here as well. One guy, unfortunately, wha, wha, wha, not going to make any money there. So again, business as usual guys, the market is just crazy. I mean, absolutely crazy. I think tomorrow, tomorrow you have Amazon, you have Apple tomorrow. So it's just going to get crazier and crazier. Again, the question for Amazon and Apple, again, are, you know, is the market going to, you know, going to reward them with this bullish activity? Or are, you know, is there going to be finally profit taking in one of these names that had a major, major, that had a major run up ahead? And again, all these answers will, will definitely, will definitely get answered. Tesla is just running up here. It's going to be a 900 here at the, you know, before the open. Again, crazy market. Again, I think the value tomorrow will be the stocks that are kind of going to wake up, right? The, you know, the Alibaba's, the chipoltes of the world, the Netflix as if it gets going as well. There was a good pivot on Netflix. I forgot to put it into the private Twitter. I bought the pivot on, off that 11, 11 and change area. It spiked up as high as the 16, but I was making my, my, most of my sales in the 12s. So that was fine as well. So anyway, you know, what are you going to say, man? What are you going to say? Again, I think the smartest people in this market kind of have figured out what the market is not doing. Okay. And kind of switch gears.  Again, it's just not about being right. Nobody cares about being right. It's all about putting yourself in a position of safety.  So tomorrow obviously is going to be a very, very aggressive session. We're going to look for the value, see where the channels confirm, and hopefully works out to our benefit. Guys, have a great night, everybody. Love you all. Stay safe. And I will see you on the feet tomorrow. Take care. Congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading.

There are a lot of common signs that someone is sexually attracted to you, like leaning into you, positioning their body towards you, moving stuff out of the way so they can see you more clearly or be closer to you, and so on. We know what you're thinking. What else you got? Well, we've got your back. Let's check out some not so common signs that someone is sexually attracted to you. Is it hot in here, or is it just you? Have you ever been getting ready for a date and realized you're sweating up a storm? Even though this can be embarrassing. This is absolutely normal. According to a psychologist-reviewed article on Mind Body Green, a well-being blog. When you're attracted to someone, your body temperature goes up. This is similar to how your skin turns red when you blush.  The adrenaline rush causes the blood capillaries that rise to your skin surface to expand, causing that rosy glow. This can also cause your body temperature to rise, and you begin to sweat because your heart is beating faster. You don't just sweat when you're working out, stressed, or anxious. Sweating could also mean you're sexually attracted to someone. According to sex and relationship therapist Courtney Getter, an increase in body temperature or sweating means there's some sort of attraction present, but it could solely be physical attraction, not romantic. Before acting on it, be sure to discuss intentions and boundaries to make sure everyone's on the same page. No auto-tune needed. Okay, so good news. You don't need to be like Phoebe Buffet and try to catch a cold for his sexy voice. According to a 2014 study in the Journal of Evolution and Human Behavior, when someone is sexually attracted to you, the tone and pitch of their voice changes when they talk to you. When you talk to someone you're attracted to, it turns out that makes your voice more appealing. Who knew? ABC7 News Media reported on a study about these vocal changes. Dr. Scott B, a psychologist at Cleveland Clinic, said this might be due to biology. Men are going to talk in a lower register to attract females. A study by researchers at the University of Liverpool in England suggests men may change their voice to sound more masculine. After first changing their voice to make the person they're interested in more comfortable, psychologists in the study also found that women were more likely to change the tone of their voice when there was a rival for their affection. So if you notice a subtle change in someone's voice, it could be a sign they're sexually attracted to you. What big eyes you have? Have you ever seen a cartoon where a character stares wide-eyed at a delicious, fresh baked pie? That little joke actually comes from science. According to Medical News Today, some research points to pupil dilation being a sign of sexual attraction. One study found men and women's pupils dilated after watching erotic videos. Another study concluded sexual attractions could be determined by pupil size and darkness. This is a super subtle sign, so you'll have to be very observant to notice this. But aren't you supposed to make eye contact with your crush to begin with? If you're staring into their eyes and notice some big anime eyes staring back at you, this could be a sign they're sexually attracted to you. Partner C, partner do. BetterHelp explains that some research, such as from Frontiers of Psychology, says that people show attraction in specific ways. However, many signs of attraction are just universal. One of those signs is mirroring, which is a way of showing availability. If you're sexually attracted to someone, you're more likely to pay attention to what they say and do, and may unconsciously mirror them, where biologically wired to copy or mirror other people's movements, even talking in a similar way or repeating certain words and phrases. Normally, this happens subconsciously, like when we stand in a similar way as someone else. Mirroring can also indicate how engaged we are in the interaction. This engagement, the BetterHelp editorial team explains, is a common phenomenon of attraction, as it shows the other person that they have your full attention. So the next time someone steals that catchphrase of yours, make a mental note, they might be sexually attracted to you. So what do you think? Do you think you'll be able to spot any of these mainly more subtle signs that someone is sexually attracted to you? Were there any other uncommon signs we missed? Let us know in the comments below. And remember, if you end up moving forward in the relationship after deciphering these signals, consent from both sides is important. Thanks for watching, and we will see you in the next one.


Now in sports, the Handball Federation of Nigeria has unveiled a final list of 16 players who will represent Nigeria at the Africa Women's Handball Championship scheduled to begin on June 6th. Team Nigeria is expected to travel to Yaounde Cameroon on Friday, June 4th and they will play in Group B against hosts Cameroon, D'Arcongo and Kenya. Indian coach Rafiu Salamis team is Benway Queen's left-back Dorothy Nyair and prudent energy handball Premier League 2020 best goalkeeper Tony Yusuf of Platu Peacocks. The league champions are durable angels of quara provided Muhinnat Yusuf and Urua Lanuho, Edo Dynamo's Alaska Palang and Diana Salau also made the least. Safety babes quartered of patients Amodo, Chisom Ude, Ruth Ojo and Taiwo Rajia included while Benay Republic Bay's players Rachel Ovuerto and Merci Audo are the only foreign Bay's players to make the squad. The team has been training under the guidance of coach Rafiu Salamis and his assistant coach Yusuf Abdul-Kadir for over a month at the Aguiaronsi Contourment and played series of friendly matches to confirm their readiness for the tournament.


So now we're ready to consider non-conservative forces. Well, if we're going to talk about non-conservative forces, we need to compare them to what we've already learned about conservative forces. So as a quick reminder here, we were dealing with mechanical energy, and we were dealing with work that was done that did not depend on the path. And because of this, it acts to transform between kinetic and potential energy. Some of the examples that we looked at were gravity and spring forces. So when gravity and spring forces come into play, kinetic energy can be turned into potential energy, but then that potential energy can be re-released as kinetic energy. So now we have non-conservative forces. So mechanical energy is not conserved. That's what the non-conservative part here is. And oftentimes, its energy is transformed to other forms of energy. It might be that mechanical energy is going to some other form, or some other form is being transformed into mechanical energy. We could also have energy entering or leaving the system. So some examples. The most common example of a non-conservative force you're going to see in all the textbooks is friction. Very closely related to that is air resistance or fluid resistance. So any kind of resistive type force, surface friction, moving it through a fluid, air resistance if something falls. And in both of these cases, what happens is that kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy. So there's some heating that happens as this resistance happens. You can think about that space shuttle coming in from outer space, and that air resistance causes the front part of the shuttle to heat up so much it's actually glowing from the heat. And this tends to reduce the mechanical energy of the system. Some other examples, motors. So if you've got some sort of motor attached to the system, it's really not a closed system because it uses some sort of outside energy to make that motor work. Similarly, muscles. Well, you could think of muscles as being a type of motor. Again, you use some sort of outside energy. Often in these cases, energy of the system is increased. Your motors or your muscles help get more mechanical energy in. But you could also have a decrease in mechanical energy if you're using those muscles to slow an object down. So let's come back here to one of these main concepts of what's the effect. If I have any form of non-conservative force in the system, if it's there, then I'm not going to have conservation of mechanical energy. To have conservation of mechanical energy, I can have absolutely no non-conservative forces allowed. So that's just a quick introduction. We still need to look at some of the equations and some example problems from this.


This is Senate Health and Welfare. It is March 18th. And excuse me committee, frog need to get we like frogs, but not in our throats. Okay. So good morning. We're, you know, we had a very long session yesterday with Senate judiciary and Senate education. In hearing about some of the regulatory events associated with the Kern-Hatton School. And I thought so I thought we'd just spend a few minutes this morning going through and listing some of the questions that we might like to ask or some of the open areas for questioning. For the DCF related to their investigation or the regulatory authority that they have. We may not have a lot at this point. It may have to wait until DCF and others come in. But I thought it might be helpful just to get your questions. And I asked Ruth to write some down yesterday as we went through. And the questions that there were some questions that I asked that I think are pretty important. I think actually Ruth identified one of those. So what we'll do is excuse me. We'll just take a couple of minutes to do this. I don't want to spend a lot of time on it. But because I will be working with the other chairs to establish a timeline and some testimony that we'll be taking in committee to help us make further recommendations for improvements. This is a difficult situation simply because we are not the judge and jury. We're not really taking testimony about the historical development of this. But we are interested in how our state administration handled this. And also what oversight may or may not have been provided. So and that you know that that is our job as well. So we have to I think that we should as going forward we need to keep all those things in mind. So committee I'll I'll open it up and ask you for your thoughts. I did want to Well I have some questions but I guess why don't I open it up and let you offer your your thoughts on questions that you'd like to have answered who do who you think we should be hearing from and the direction we might be taking. I value your input on this. Maybe Ruth could read the questions that you have so that we know I was hoping Ruth would raise your hand. I was looking through my notes. The main question I think that I identified in our specific jurisdiction is the the re licensing of the Treatment of the residential care facility and whether or not when they relinquish that license how it was done and why it was done and if it was done in order to avoid further oversight or if it was done because violations were found or if it was done for other reasons. So sort of like the crux of that because that's the role that DCF plays in terms of oversight of the facility itself. And then there's the other question about the training and reporting of abuse and neglect and whether or not that has been done correctly by staff at the facility and also whether or not in the past and and currently and whether or not DCF has responded appropriately to those complaints. So those were the two sort of areas that seems like in our jurisdiction. There were other questions about AOE's role and judiciary's role but those were the two that I identified as specific to regulatory oversight in our committee's area. Yeah, I think that's good. I think from that for my as we identify that then a whole lot of other questions fall out so if they were licensed to provide treatment services were adequate treatment services available. So that's under our jurisdiction. What role if any does did the district office play in reporting because that's also key. And then the the relicensure every two years and how were the the complaints dealt with during the relicensure process and and then you know finally it's a two year licensing process and the review is only within the two years. So I guess I might ask the question about cumulative effect.  So those are the kinds of questions I think we want to get at and and ask among others but your that that is our jurisdiction and we do need to pay attention to it. Go ahead Cheryl. I just was curious to know how long they had had the treatment center you know the license for the treatment center and and then it just plays into you know why at this time is it being not revoked but not relicens not relicensed. Yeah. And yeah. So I think what you're raising is a good question. It's it's characterizing the treatment services that were required. So we need to understand what exactly were the treatment services required. Right. And you said something else that sparked a question. But now I can't think of it. District offices. Yeah cumulative effect. All of those. Excuse me. I'm I'm I'm really sorry you guys. I just got some really bad news that I need to leave the committee for now. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you Senator. I'll be back when I can. Not a problem. Not a problem. Take care. All right. A two year review. Two year review. Oh there you go. Yes. The two year review. No isn't the two year review looking back. I mean yeah. Talking about the two year review is if it were looking forward but it isn't you know what what are we what are we looking at when we're. Yeah. That is a question. You know if it's only the two years that they're looking at and or how do they how do they deal with that time frame and how do they deal with prior time frames and prior complaints. And the director had talked about the number of complaints per year which he said we're between six and nine I believe. Yeah. You know who do we have documents that show that you know have we seen this how many of them have actually been reported. Yeah. I think I think now everything is on is electronic but we did hear that the there was some flooding in Waterbury that did take out much of the you know the paper. But we we want to know if district offices still retain records we don't you know so that that the whole record keeping area you're right so probably important. OK. Josh did you want to have anything. You know to be honest Senator Lyons and Senator Hooker all I would defer to you on most of this because unfortunately of as you and Senator Campion know my technology issues we've had the last two days here. Okay. Sort of impeded me from hearing all of all of yesterday's testimony so I don't want to jump to any conclusions or ask something that may have already been addressed so I'd ask you take the lead on this one. All right. Good. Well yeah. And then when you have a chance to review the meeting that would be probably good. All right. So I think we're just really trying to understand how the DCF process works in licensure and then how it works with real licensure. And then one of the questions that I that I have which I think is important is it sounds it sounded like the decision to go to closure rather than deregulation denying the license and closure meant that there was a mutually agreed upon decision. I'm trying to figure out if the investigation and then the decision making is a negotiated process and what what do our statutes say about that. I don't know what the rules say about that. So is it a negotiated process or is it an inspection and then the conclusions drawn and recommendations for licensure or not made. Does that make sense. Am I making sense there. Yeah. Okay. You know why did this why it was this allowed to happen I guess I mean rather than DCF going in and doing an inspection and then revoking the license what what where's the authority or where's the possibility. How open ended is it I guess you know. Yeah. Yeah. Come to an agreement you know and apparently they came to an agreement. Yeah. Okay I think and then anything anything else I think we're all very concerned about the the employees who were at the school and some of this is going to spill over into what the Education Committee is doing and will will be involved in that as well the three of us but the the idea about background checks and how folks are hired and how they're reviewed as employees all of those things I think that spill over into the educational piece the school piece rather than the DCF piece. I also had a question about what's happened with the kids that were in state custody and now where are they and I'm not sure we got a full answer to that but I didn't understand how many kids were there at that at the time that the license was not renewed. Yeah I don't remember exactly I think I've written down but I think we can ask that question and then look at the disposition for those kids because they're they are in the guardian ship or the care of the state and we want to understand maybe what needs were there or are there and are they being met that that that takes a step away from current hat in itself but it does it does it still within the DCF area. Yeah. All right. Anything else. And you know I do have a question center line. Yeah. Who else are we likely to hear from in as these hearings go on. Well that's a good question and we are formulating our with the other chairs because this is a three committee process where we're working on how to build our testimony but at the same time you know work closely to understand the considerations role. So we'll be we'll be doing that and if you have suggestions for folks you would like to hear from that you know send those to me and to Nellie and we'll and we'll see what we can do with it. Okay. Yeah. My goal at this point is to focus on the real licensure piece and possible recommendations. Obviously judiciary has its own interests and judiciary is what may like to work with us more and have some more joint meetings. Okay. So that's where we are right now and putting and we are at this stage putting together. Our next steps. Okay. But if you have if you have recommendations for for who you'd like to hear from. I'm all for it. And you know it would help significantly. I'm not sure we need to hear directly from complainants. We have a lot of information that we can look at historical data and other information. Okay. From from kids I'm just saying where the people who are older now who are out of the school. Okay. And I do know we also know that the educate the school investigation through a and is is ongoing. I think it will be very interesting for our committee to look at the results of that investigation so I'm going to put that on our list. Certainly the education committee will probably be going through it in more detail. But it may help us to understand what what the results of that investigation are and then there's also the New England accreditation process that is is ongoing and I don't know if we want to stretch ourselves into that area but certainly that we'll see that in education. We do have Nellie did put the report. The closure report on our web page so we have that. So my my suggestion is before we, you know, we might want to go through that go through that individually. And I might ask for. I'm going to go your friends. Close to your, you must be pretty close to the airport then huh. Yeah, I'm not far away. I don't know five, six miles. So, so Senator you said that Nellie had put the report on our website. Nellie is that I'm going to reach out to Nellie is that report on our page. It was posted for yesterday. I can repost for today. Like, I'm just, who's it under Nellie. Jennifer Benedict. Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Got it. Thank you. Right. She's the one she is the one who responsible for completing the work. And so we'll definitely hear from her again we'll hear from all of the folks who are on the call yesterday on the zoom yesterday, or DCF. I think it'd be very helpful to go through that report and that might modify some of the sharpen some of the questions that we have so we can get down to where we need to be in under in making improvements to the process should we believe that's necessary and I'm, I'm thinking that there may be some areas for that to happen. But we may want to we may want to ask her to go through that report with us after we've had a chance to look at it. That would be a good idea since it's a long report and information in it. The other thing is to have ledge council and I believe it will be Katie McClendon. Jen, would it be Katie to help us understand what the current statute says around this? Or would that I think it depends whether you're looking at the licensure piece or the sort of treatment child abuse potential child abuse or neglect aspect. Okay, and then what what who would go through the licensure report the licensure piece itself, all of it. So I think the courts of child abuse and neglect. So Katie would be Katie would work with you, I believe on licensure issues DCF licensure issues, although if there's a report from somebody else I think it would make sense to have whoever wrote the report go through the report with you. Yeah, so yeah, I was thinking of our Oh, her first name just escaped me. The person who was on our call yesterday Benedict Jennifer. Jennifer, thank you. I knew it was a jail is going to call her Jacqueline. Okay, Jennifer Benedict. It's an easy one for me to remember. Yeah, got it. Okay, so yeah, so we'll have her command to it's, but I think we do want Katie to go through and share with us a little bit about the licensure procedure as much as she can. There are rules that guide this so the the issue around rules becomes interesting and so I think the rule, the rules probably are best handled through the Department of Children and Families so and I will have to ask someone from the department to come in and talk about the rules that are in place because they did talk about changing those rules and I'm curious to know what changes they're going to make and how much and what they are so maybe we can determine how that we should have some influence on that the changes. The rulemaking process is separate from our committee until it gets to the legislative committee on rules, and then it goes through the chair so any rule changes would come to me and go to amp you and then we would say yes it is or is not consistent with the statutes with legislation so before it gets that far I think we want to know that we've looked at the statute and we've looked at the rules and we've looked at the process. So we have an idea of how those changes are being made and whether we'd like to influence those changes through legislation. So I think we'll ask Sean Brown and he can provide us with the right person from DCF to go through the rules that exist for this. Send us that survey Senator. Well let's see they're just when I forget how many millions of dollars every time it applies. It's pretty loud. Okay, which is why being in the state house makes it a lot easier. One of the reasons. Is there anything else regarding the statutory review or rules that you can think of that would help us as we're going through this. I mean it sounds like you were asking the right questions. As far as looking into what the licensure and the parameters for the licensure issues are now so that you can understand potential changes and also to understand sort of what goes into that licensure process. So I think you're asking good questions that sound like they're designed to get you more information so that you can make decisions about whether there need to be changes in the legislation or through legislation. So and then what another question that I think as we as we dive into the whole area of child abuse and neglect and getting perhaps getting Linda Johnson and because she's her organization works on this all the time, but also DCF folks is how, and I don't know maybe and this is also Katie question, our definition of child abuse and neglect. That would be a brand question. Is that a brand question. That's a brand question. We'll get a brand in here. And we do have statute specifically on that with definitions. Included. That one and then I'd also like to have. Who is it brand or Katie or you on mandatory reporters. That would be brand as well that's related to the child abuse and neglect. I think that judiciary is also interest, interested in that so it's sounding like we're, we're building some topics for joint meeting with them and I'll take that to the chairs meeting when we talk together. So it, yeah, it seems to me. We're going to have to, we're going to have to consider and talk first with Bryn on the definition. What's in statute and I'm going to stop talking for a minute, please. What's in statute and then talk with DCF about how talk with DCF about how their rules interpret that statute. I'm not sure when those rules were written, they may have been updated a few years ago and I'm not sure how them. I remember when we went through mandatory reporter several years ago and added some mandatory reporters into that into that statute through health and welfare committee and I was involved in that so it will be important to have Bryn go through that with us, but then to ask DCF how, how that fits with what what's happened at current hot and so this one get this one really dives down into the complaints that we've heard. We're moving, we just moved from a very high level of relicensure issues, and now we're moving slowly down into the very specific and trying to understand the relationship between our statutes, the rules and boots on the ground what's actually happened. So after Bryn on that mandatory reporters and abuse and neglect we're going to have DCF and to talk about that. So there are I think 18 or 20 of these jets and if they all take off at once or we get more than eight or 10 of them that takes time. And then they come back and land what I'm talking on the floor. Good timing. All right, one more. So, Josh, you're muted to go for it. I was just going to ask if they if they ever offered to take the senior senator from Chinden County for a ride. No, but my husband's gone up on the f 16s I think with the f 16s or the ones before yeah he's done that he did some. He talked with them with them about balance issues as he he's an ear nose throat position so he talked to them. Oh yeah. Yeah. All right. That was a while ago. Okay, anything else committee on this seems like the appropriate direction for us I would think. Is there anything that we're sort of missing here and I know that as we hear from the mandatory reporting piece will also be in education it will be in judiciary and it'll be with us so we'll try to coordinate that that's the reason for our list. And coordinate with other committees about meeting together to be more efficient in the use of our time and the time of others. And Senator, despite the fact that the license has not been renewed for for residential treatment center. There's still the mandatory reporting that goes on from the facility to the state. There's an issue. So that. So now, now that it would be the school teachers and the school counselors who have that responsibility so I think the reporting goes to the AOE. In the case of DCF, where were whether the children in the care of the state that reporting would go to DCF. I think it will have to clarify that with Brett because just, I mean, regardless if it's a, if it's a child abuse issue. It should go. That's why I, I'm going to we're going to have to wait and go back and look at that statue. I'm not clear. I don't remember exactly the, the language in the statute. Unless Jen does we will just, no, I know it's not will defer to bring for that discussion. Yeah, so once we, you know, I think that generally people do not understand that once, once we write statutes and we ask for rules and we approve the rules, then the work is done by the administration. So, but it's important for us to maintain an oversight role. So I guess the question that we have to ask ourselves is how frequently are we providing oversight. And once the relicensure has happened those every two years, do we get notice of that. And if we get notice of that. I don't know. I don't think I don't think I've ever seen notice of that. And, and, but we should probably consider whether or not notice of relicensure for any of our organizations might suggest some kind of review on our part. Does that make sense. Well, I don't know. I know I don't either. I, we're going to have to look. I'm wondering if it's just up to DCF to, to do the review and, you know, do. Yeah. Oh, I think you misinterpret what I said, but go ahead. No, I'm just wondering, you know, how much of it has to come back to the legislature and where, where does this, you know, how do I guess it would be a quick email to us to the chairs of committees that say, this, this private institution has been renewed and DCF has a relicensed period. I mean, that, that would be sufficient. And I think my big concern is just how much oversight does DCF is DCF able to do. And how much do they have that do they have have the authority to do it. And they've been doing it. I don't, I guess those are the questions.  Yeah. Okay. And how many times are they allowed to go in and do spot checks investigations, respond to complaints. Yes. There are lots of complaints and they seem to have been accumulating. Yeah. That's the key. That's an important question. All right. So, All right. So I've been making notes of all of this. I'm going to send it to a friend and Katie so that So that they are at least aware of what you're thinking. Excellent. Thanks. Can you send that to me as well. I'll use it in my meat. I have it all written. I have a lot written down, but I'll use it when I meet with the chairs. Sure.  Josh or Sheryl, Senator Hooker, Senator Taranzini. There's a lot. There is a lot. And I mean, I think, I think our goal is to ensure that whenever children in the care of the state are placed in any facility that there's, there's a positive culture. And that, that children are, are well served. That, that's the goal. We want to make sure that that happens. And especially, especially when we're placing children in the private sector, I mean, private sector. And so, and that actually, that would be a good question to ask is what's the difference between the public and private sector with all of this. What kind of access does DCF authority to see? Yeah, that's your question. That's very good. Anything else? Anything else? No. This is a, this is a very good, this is a good start. We need to continue to focus on our role and our responsibilities. And it, it, it, we, it could get difficult. It's interesting because I keep going back and forth with the three of us on education. It's hard to differentiate, you know, the committee that it won't. Yeah, you're right. But when we hear from, when we hear the report that's coming to us from AOE. And then we, we start learning about mandatory reporters, it's going to get even worse. But overall, we'll have to hopefully find some, something that covers everything. No, certainly it's going to have to be coordinated. So it's a good thing that we're here together. We don't have anyone from judiciary, but I think we'll be able to meet with them and we'll, we'll stay, stay coordinated. And the civil and criminal penalty piece is really within the judicial area, but it does link in with how we define child abuse and neglect and how, how it is responded to. So there's a, there's a, there's a flow there from one to the other. So I'm, I'm, I'm ready to give ourselves a break until we hear from Commissioner squirrel, unless there's anything further you'd like to discuss on this issue. Jen, how are you. Just one unrelated update in case you're not aware. Okay. Yeah, I was going to bring that up when we got back together, but I'm happy to do it now. But let's do that when we come back together because our minds are not, are not there right now. That's fine. Let me know when to three bills I wanted to talk about. So, yeah, thank you. I'm going to jump over to another meeting, but okay. You understand your radar. We're good. It is. Unfortunately. My, and my, my, my little hamsters been thinking about how to resolve that issue, but so we'll see how it goes.  Good. So we'll, we'll, we'll take a break here until about 1020 come back a little bit before our Nellie is at 1030 that we have Commissioner squirrel. Yes. Okay, good. So, okay, so we'll take a break until about 1020. In the meantime, Nellie has put a bill that we're going to get each to 10 up on the chat and that Josh you were interested in that so we'll, but we're going to talk about that later. Nellie we'll, we'll go, we'll go on break off of YouTube and then we'll come back about 1020 to complete our work for the day.


Hi, this unit deals with the development of meaning over time. It discusses the central principles of the development of meaning in the broader context of language change and presents current views on how and why words can change their meaning and on how and why new words appear in and disappear from a language. In the virtual session we will start with etymology, the study of the origins and histories of individual words and we'll then first look at semantic change and we'll then continue with lexical change before we finally discuss the factors and principles that lead to these developments. As usual, the question sheet provides you with numerous hyperlinks and video links for help. The mastery worksheet is a dynamic multiple-choice task which should be easy to pass after going through the virtual session and the practical contains data, data from many languages to illustrate the principles of historical semantics. I'm sure you will enjoy this unit.


In summary, the researchers analyzed various indices related to e-government in the European Union and identified those that could be used in a DEA model to measure the efficiency of e-government related inputs and outputs. They also implemented correlation analysis to verify the selection of inputs and outputs and determined that two models, the CCR and BCC models, were appropriate for calculating the DEA model. Finally, they compared the results from the two models and concluded that the countries of Northern Europe are the most efficient in terms of digitalization, e-government. This article was authored by Matei Kredgnes, Jana Stovkova, Katarina Rybkova Stovkova, and others.

This award really sort of reaffirms what we have done here and the work that we do with kids. One of the things that we focus on a lot is our college and career readiness and our students achieving their ACT benchmarks, both their national benchmarks and their Kentucky State CPE benchmarks, as well as our AP courses. Being the AP Chemistry teacher, one of the things that we focus on is not only having kids ready for college chemistry, but having kids prepared for that level of coursework, whether they choose to take the AP exam and opt out of the college class or not. We just really want to make sure that when a student leaves Johnson Central that they leave successful, that they leave prepared, and that they leave with the skills that they need to be whatever it is that they've chosen to pursue.


I think the thing in tournaments is more so it's the obviously risk of knockout, it's what's on the line for it and I get like the nationals that would say that that has like brings in that element but I don't know maybe people just like when you look at the friends who we're using to play I know we've played Brazil and we should still that's pretty sick don't we that's sick we played Brazil that's that's what I was thinking out of this international break is two big games yeah Brazilian Belgium on paper people should be like what an international break for England this is yeah like I'm excited to watch that yeah so and but it is again it's just not paid off that way I think most people have speak to it on the same vibe of not really liking international breaks and I don't feel like that's changed even though they are two big games it feels to me like for anyone who's interested in watching watches any sort of American sports you know how like they have all-star weekends yeah and you can like it's fun it's a nice idea like you know people rate the all-star games or whatever whether it's in basketball or ice hockey or NFL or whatever but you can tell that like no one's trying no one cares like it's just very much like an exhibition no one's like no one's putting their body on the line which then means that the fans actually aren't massively invested themselves yeah nobody's nobody's going home and crying if you know team a all-star a or team all-star b sort of win or lose yeah whatever it's a completely neutral kind of game in it like and I think it's the same with like international friendlies for England is like when you see players not really putting in there at all like you can tell that like you know players are going oh like if I feel a niggle I'm coming off because I've got to be good for you know like car walk yeah reserve himself reserve themselves exactly like they're trying not to go heavy on challenges because they don't want to injure themselves or others ahead of big friendlies stuff like last night jubeling and getting sucked off at like the 60 minute mark it's like singlin versus brazil at wemberley and you're taking off you know one of the star players because it's just kind of like oh like needs the rest it's like okay well if if the players and if england and if international teams and if international managers and the whole sort of organizations are are going to sort of run it at like a 40 percent capacity then like you can't expect fans to be any more excited that the fans the fans will be kept at that like that affects if they're if they're willing to not half ask it but if they're willing to take I mean if they're not putting their all out for them games fans aren't going to match that they're not going to go all in for it they're not going to get as excited for it because we as fans know that this isn't this is it's just a normal game where yeah he could pick any side he could pick a completely changed side you don't really know like what you're going to see when you're going to go to them games yeah and that brings me back to sort of that whole first nations leagues I remember we had one game I can't remember if it was like because I can't really remember the format to be honest in the nations league but I think it was maybe like the last game in the group stage and it was against Spain and maybe there was like there was some meat on the bone in terms of qualification or getting through to an x-round or something I remember because sterling scored two goals but that game was like so beefy like everyone was putting it up for it I don't know if you remember but Eric Dyer like made this tackle in Spain's box against Sergio Ramos and it was like an absolute just like crunching tackle your Brexit tackle pure Brexit tackle and again like technically it was all like kind of friendly like not major tournament but because it was like they were playing for something there was like a little bit of I don't know it gets us top of the group it gets us through to the next round all of a sudden they put a bit more in so it's like the nations league can up it or things like that can up it I just don't know what UA for a sort of doing with it it feels sort of half cooked at the moment yeah I think obviously for us as well like as like fans of England we don't play the greatest of football either so if we play just really nice football I think like fans over here I think we get excited for internationals to get to seeing them play some nice football we don't really see it was playing nice football so yeah but that's it it's just as odd isn't it because like you sort of said in your opening statement of the question sort of when I asked you I'm not like a big England fan like we all are when it comes to international tournaments oh yeah yeah I had but like I'm getting a British Bulldog tattooed on my forearm taking my shirt off getting down the pub at 10 a.m like when it's a tournament yeah I've got I've got the Red Cross painted on my body like we're really in that yeah you forget where it was yeah it is fully coming home I'm on the train like every single Instagram stories me and a beer garden like getting way too busy on a Tuesday absolutely so like the whole nation unites at that so yeah it's like for one month every two years it completely takes over the nation and we're all huge fans but then just like international breaks could not be less interested don't really care yeah I just I don't see a way that they'll ever replicate that either like that because that together this is well that's no no of course but I mean just even just something to bring a bit of excitement into it like because even in I think I think what it is because it's in between the Premier League season people just want prime football at this time yeah and when you're in the thick of it and then you go oh an international break like oh fuck well you think of international football and you think of summer football don't you yeah you think of that's where you want to be watching when I think of England I think of like beer gardens beer gardens like 25 degrees show yeah yeah share on that's exactly it that's that's the vibe that you want when you're watching England games yeah yeah fair enough well


Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour, and here comes the star-studded show trade. The Association of American Railroads presents the famous musical success, Show Boat, starring Gordon MacRae and his two charming guest stars, Dorothy Kirsten and Lucille Norman. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is arranged and conducted by Carmen Dragon.  And now, here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Tonight, the curtain rises on our winter season of musical shows and operettas with the immortal Jerome Kern Oscar Hammerstein musical play, Show Boat, based on the novel of the same name by Edna Furman. This is the story of Captain Andy's Show Boat, the story of the Mississippi, and of the river gambler, Gaylord Ravinal, the part in which I appear this evening. It is the story of the showboats leading Lady Julie, played for us by Lucille Norman, and of Captain Andy's beautiful daughter, Magnolia, our other charming guest star, our other charming guest for tonight, the lovely soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, Dorothy Kirsten. I remember it all began the summer I was 17. My father's showboat, the Cotton Blossom, was tied up at the dock in Natchez. I remembered it was a warm summer afternoon, and as I stepped down onto the levee, I saw Gaylord Ravinal for the first time and took him to my heart forever. I remember that I said hello as though I'd known him always, and he took off his hat and bowed. How do you do? Do you live here? No, no, I'm just a wayfarer along the river. So am I. Which way are you going? Either way. Which way are you going? Anywhere Papa gives shows. Oh, are you an actress? No, but I'd give anything if I could be. Why? Because you can make beautiful things, wonderful things that never happen in real life. Ah, but wonderful things do happen. Why this very day I was standing here on the levee feeling blue, and suddenly I looked up and... I have to go now. Why? Well, I didn't realize you were talking to me, and I don't know you. Well, if you like to make believe things, why can't we make believe we know each other? All right. We haven't seen each other for 75 years, and you are my long-lost nephew. No, no, no. I don't think I like the idea of being your nephew. Let's imagine that we've just met. But we really have. Yes, but let's just suppose we fall in love at first sight. All right. The game of just supporting is the sweetest. I hope I'll see you again. In search of Julie, the leading lady of the showboat, to tell her what had happened to me. Oh, Julie, I'm in love. Are you really, honey? Who is he? I don't know. He was standing on the dock, and I came down the gang plank, and all of a sudden I looked up and there he was. And he looked so different from anybody else I'd ever seen in my whole life. He was so beautiful. But, honey, suppose he turned out to be a no-count riverfella. Oh, if I found out he was a no-count, I'd stop loving him. Wouldn't you stop loving Steve if he treated you mean? No, honey. No matter what he did. You see, child, love's a funny thing. There's just no sense to it. It's like that thing you always sing when we're having our walks together. Yes. It certainly is. It was for Julie, and that's the way it was for me. All that listening to the river whispering to itself, wondering if I would ever see Gaylord Raven all again. And then came the morning that brought so many changes. Julie and her husband left the showboat, and I was suddenly made the leading lady. And as I stood on the deck beside my father, listening to him talk to Gaylord Raven all. You like me to give you a bed on my boat tonight on credit? That's right. I thought, sir, if I could have a bed on your boat tonight, I could pay you my fare tomorrow at Fort Adams. You see, I expect to remit... You ever acted? Acted. We need a juvenile lead. $15 a week. Chance to see the world. No responsibility. That's what he means, young man. This is my wife. I'm happy to meet you. How do? We don't like to pick up actors off the walls. Or we can't be choosy just now. Madam, your courtesy is exceeded only by your charm. My daughter here is going to be the leading woman. This will be her first triad act in June. So, you'd have your chance to play it make-believe after all. Yes. Well, I... I certainly wouldn't want to miss a chance to be your leading man. Into complete enchantment. At night, we did our shows. And I'm sure such love scenes were never seen on any stage before. It was the only time we were sure of being together. All our other meetings were stolen meetings. Behind my mother's back. I remember the last meeting we ever had to steal. I told my mother I'd fill her pitcher and gay met me beside the water barrel on the upper deck. Darling. Darling. I can't stay but a minute. Mother's waiting. Nola, I want to marry you. Tomorrow in Greenville. But mother would... She's going to be in Fayette all morning. She told me so herself. Oh, there's a lovely little church in Greenville. But father, he's...  Oh, Nola, please say you will.  I can't stand it this way any longer. I want you all to myself. I want to take you to places you've never seen. I want to show you new cities, theaters, restaurants, and people. And you and I will move among them but still feel as if we were all by ourselves. Okay. I ask you to remember this. Of all the people in the United States, few have a greater stake in the continued successful operation of railroads and the owners and operators of the 7.5 million trucks and the 33 million automobiles in this country. To begin with, America could not have built and could not now maintain and operate its motor vehicles were it not for the basic low-cost mass transportation of raw materials and finished products provided by the railroads. Moreover, the great American network of highways could not have been built and could not be maintained today without this same underlying transportation service. But railroads play an even more intimate day-by-day part in the satisfactory use of motor vehicles on America's fine system of highways. They do this by moving freight on their own special highways of steel rails. In 1948, the railroads performed 645 billion ton miles of freight service. That is, transportation equivalent to carrying 645 billion tons one mile. In the same year, intercity motor trucks performed only one eighth as much transportation service. With the already overcrowded conditions on our highways, just imagine what the motorist would be up against if any considerable part of the traffic which moves by rail had to be carried by highway transport. Well, that's one way to look at what railroads mean to motorists and that's why it is so true that the more the nation's freight is moved on the special steel highways of the railroads, the less will be the wear and damage to the public highways. The lower will be the cost of building and maintaining those highways and the greater will be the satisfaction and safety with which motorists can make use of them. Gordon MacRae in Showboat with his two charming guest stars, Dorothy Kirsten and Lucille Norman. And so Gaylord Ravenall and I were married and life was as it springtime. Life was a thing of romance and excitement and adventure.  I knew he was a gambler, but it didn't matter. Nothing mattered except that we were together. Well, dear, I think I'll go out and see if my luck's as good as it was an hour ago. Oh, Gay, do you think you are too? While the cards are running for me, honey, I've got to play them. I'll be back in time to take you out to supper. All right, my darling. I'm so happy.  Why? Quickly a love song can turn to minor. How quickly a world can be lost when you're holding it by a shoestring. How many years did we actually have? It seems now they've passed with such swiftness that it is impossible for the heart to follow them or add them up. I do know that our daughter, Kim, was seven. The day I walked into an empty bare little hotel room and found a letter.  There is nothing left to pawn and no more friends to borrow from. I am enclosing $200. This will let Kim finish her term at school. And then you can both go to your parents. I am doing this because I think it is right and because I love you. Please believe I will always love you.  Oh, Gay, Gay! That was how spring and summer ended with a chill blowing across the heart and the knowledge that love was gone and it was autumn. And then the long years set in. I went on the stage, I became successful and our daughter, Kim, went on the stage and became even more successful and I was able to retire. And it seems to me now, looking back, that I stopped living from the time I opened that letter to the moment when my father's letter came and I hurried back to the showboat and there, standing beside him, was Gay! That's Nola. How do? I remember you when you were leading lady on the showboat and that's your husband, isn't it? I was here on this levee the day you were married. My, my, how excited we all were. Well, glad to see it turned out well and you're still happy together. Good night. Good night, dear. Good night. Nola, there isn't any way to ask you to forgive me. Now, hold on a minute, Gay. Trouble is, you keep blaming yourself for things and the fact is, you is just unlucky. The lucky people are the ones that get to do what they enjoy doing. I always enjoyed running the showboat and I made a success out of it.  The biggest mistake you ever made was to try to earn a living. Nobody ever expected it of you. You was on the right track when you started to be a leading man on the river.  Andy? Andy? Barthes calling me. Yes, I'd better be going. I don't understand it, Captain Andy. Married all these years, yet every time she calls you jump. What is it? What has she got? You got a mean disposition. Andy! Yes, yes, I'm coming, Barthes. I'm coming. Gay, listen. Remember how we used to stand up here listening to them singing below? Oh, Gay, welcome home, my darling. Welcome home. I'm back to stay, Nova. I know now where my home is and where I belong.

We are back towards corporate governance and we have been talking about public policy, it is different elements and today we are going to be talking about framing of public policy, the limitations of government, the constraints of government, how the public tends to affect policy and then what is the different process of framing of public policy. Now, when we look at the limits to powers of democratic government then in matters of public policy or its implementation, government powers are restricted under the constitution law. So, in the context of Pakistan when we look at the constitution of Pakistan then that is the mother of all laws and everything has to be framed within the context of the constitution and nothing can be unconstitutional. The constitution law tends to define the limits of government to act the powers in each level of government and the rights of citizen. While the common law that is established adjudicated presidents giving the government the right to act in the interest of justice and fairness and when we talk about common law then we see that those countries which were ruled under the British Raj they all have the common law system which basically emanated from the historical legal frameworks and matrixes of the United Kingdom and other countries then adopted that same legal structure which tends to adjudicate based upon presidents and again in the interest of justice and fairness. So, that is what common law is all about while the constitution law remains within the constitution which is defined. The limits to powers of democratic government, limits to powers of non democratic monarchy, dictatorship, religious rulers or socialist state, no limits on the power of the government except the tolerance of the people. Again when we look at democracies it is by the people for the people and again what we see is that the people tend to determine how the nation has to move forward or it keeps on going along with the different stakeholders and the different political actors which either are in the government or are in the opposition. When these governments exceed public tolerance the usual result is violent actions to change the government. We saw it in Uganda, we have seen it in the different spring revolutions taking place from Syria and then moving on to Lebanon, moving down towards Yemen. So all of these spring revolutions again have been seen and even in Pakistan sometimes we see that the public becomes volatile and tends to rise against the different stakeholders because they feel that there is something which is not right and it sees the public tolerance. Constitutional governments in a constitution-elected system of governance, the will of the people and their desires get reflected in public policies, petitions through elected representatives, public debate in election campaigns and promises given in election manifesto. So again Pakistan is a democracy, Pakistan has a constitution government and Pakistan has a very elaborated constitution of Pakistan 1971 and again that constitution tends to define the parameters on which different policies can be framed. So that is extremely important. Media promotion exposure as amply demonstrated by the check on use of tobacco causing cancer, public demonstrations etc. Some of the ways of framing public policy under constitutional methods. So the media itself is a very big stakeholder and either it can promote something or it can discourage something and based upon that public opinion is basically made and then it is framed within the parliament. In non-government governments we see that special interest lobbying of the leadership elite complete with illegal bribes and payments, international pressure for change, media is controlled very much under these governments. So what we see is that it becomes the very negation of democracy and media is controlled, their special interests is a lot of corruption taking place and then they also succumbed to international pressure because they do not have the validity to basically rule and that basically puts these governments at a lot of risk also. So again it is very important to understand that when we are talking about framing a public policy from a democratic context then there is a different approach altogether and if there is a non-democratic government there is a dictatorship or there are certain elite groups which are leading the nation then the consequences will always be different. Thank you so much.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. I'm very proud to rise today in recognition of the Thunder Bay Community Economic Development Corporation who had a noticeable and influential presence at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada's 2024 conference. On March 4th, Jamie Taylor and her team at the Thunder Bay EDC hosted their inaugural Thunder Bay Mining Link event at PDAP which saw over 170 attendees representing Northwestern Ontario's active mines and advanced exploration projects. Thunder Bay service and supply companies, Indigenous communities and businesses, stakeholders and partners were all in attendance. This event celebrated and facilitated connections between attendees and graded generated significant energy that resonated throughout the conference, which speaks to the excitement that Thunder Bay region remains a key player in the Ontario's mining sector. The interest and attendance of this event demonstrated the large Thunder Bay contingent at the conference and the continued interest in mining in our region. Later in the evening the enthusiasm continued at the Northern Ontario mate which was very well attended and supported by our government. Thunder Bay CEDC is actively working with companies interested in the EDE battery supply chain, continuing their work to attract new mining supply services while supporting the growth and prosperity of all the Thunder Bay businesses. Please join me in celebrating the continued successes of the Thunder Bay region as we connect people in place prosperity. Thank you Mr. Speaker. Member Statements, the Member for Humber River, Black Freedom. Thank you Speaker. For Calyx Protestants and many Christian denominations, this past weekend marked the start of Holy Week, beginning with the triumphal arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem called Palm Sunday. During this sacred and very solemn week many profound liturgical events came to pass. The Last Supper, the betrayal and baseless arrest of Jesus and his terrible crucifixion. But at the end comes the most significant day for all Christians, the resurrection of Jesus Christ celebrated on Easter Sunday. I wish all those here and everywhere commemorating this special time a very blessed week and a happy Easter on Sunday. Speaker, for the majority of Orthodox Christians who follow the Julian calendar, Easter falls on May 5th of this year. Last week the members of this House unanimously supported the second reading of my bill entitled Orthodox Christian Week. If passed, the special week would formally commence in Ontario every Orthodox Easter Sunday and would recognize the presence, contributions and history of Orthodox Christians in our great province. On behalf of Orthodox Christians in Ontario, I deeply thank you all. It is my hope that we can continue this strong spirit of collaboration so that the bill will pass third reading and receive royal assent, bringing Orthodox Christian Week to life in Ontario. Thank you. Thank you very much. Member statements, the Member for Essex. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the people in the riding of Essex are tired of taxes. This is the message that I have received over and over again, whether it's at the downtown Espresso Cafe in Amersburg or whether it's at the Red Lantern Coffee Shop in downtown Kingsville or at Acorn and Oak Company in Essex or at 22 Coffee House in Bell River, my taxpayers have told me over and over again they are tired of taxes. Next week, Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Government in Ottawa will increase its terrible carbon tax and across the province, municipal governments have increased their property tax rates to record levels. But there is only one government in the province of Ontario that is actually lowering taxes and that is the provincial government of Premier Doug Ford. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is Budget Day in Ontario and I have a message for the Finance Minister from the taxpayers of the riding of Essex. This is a message that I wish to deliver on behalf of my constituents, my constituents in the riding of Essex want no new taxes. Thank you. Thank you very much. Member Statements, the Member for London West. Speaker, Muslims around the world are observing Ramadan, a month of fasting, faith, reflection and family. But the shadow of the humanitarian disaster inflicted on Gaza has made these holiest of days particularly difficult. In my community, every single Palestinian family has been personally affected and their pain is deeply felt by all London Muslims. Muslims who were struggling before the trauma of Gaza with Islamophobia and the terrorist attack on our London family are experiencing increased mental health stress and many are turning to Imams for help. That is why the efforts of Imam Tuakal, founding member and chair of the London Council of Imams, are so critical. In collaboration with CAMH, Imam Tuakal is delivering a series of Friday sermons to break the stigma and shame of mental health and addictions and encourage Muslims to get support when they need it. Imam Tuakal told me that about 70% of the calls he receives result in referrals to London's Muslim Resource Centre. The capacity of the MRC to respond, however, is limited. Despite MRC's success in building a unique evidence-based model for culturally integrative support, one that is being replicated in cities across the province, the agency receives no core funding. Speaker, I urge this government to recognise the value and importance of MRC's culturally informed services by providing the core funding necessary to meet the significant and growing mental health needs of London's Muslim community. Thank you. Thank you. Member statements, the member for Oakville North, Burlington. Speaker, today Greek Canadians and Greeks around the world celebrate Greek Independence Day. On March 25, 1821, Greeks rose in revolution, achieving independence, after living under Ottoman despotic rule for over 400 years. Today, Hellenes and their friends all over the world mark the restoration of Greek freedom and democracy. That is why, in 2019, I brought forward Bill 77, the Hellenic Heritage Month Act, which wrote into law that March would serve as Hellenic Heritage Month every year. Today, Ontario is the only jurisdiction in Canada and indeed in the world that has enshrined this recognition into law. As well, for the first time in over 40 years, a Greek Prime Minister, Kiriakos Mitsotakis, is visiting Ontario. It is fitting that he is in Toronto today to celebrate this anniversary with us. Friends, Hellenic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the accomplishments of more than 150,000 Ontarians of Hellenic origin in our province. Greeks started coming to Canada before Confederation and today we are involved in every part of Ontario life, law, medicine, business, government, the arts and much more. Hellenic culture, learning and democracy are part of the common history of the West and the world. Zito Yelada, Zito Kanadas, Long Live Greece, Long Live Canada. Member statements. Member for Hamilton West and Dundance. Tomorrow this government will table their budget and it has been said many times in this House that a budget is a moral document. Theology teaches us that those with political power and economic wealth are to use their position to benefit those whose society has marginalized. And at a time when so many Ontarians are struggling to find housing, to feed themselves, we are looking for this government to provide relief. We are also witnessing a large increase in femicides in this province. Gender-based violence is an epidemic and despite our pleas this government has continued to refuse to name it as an epidemic. This government has failed to introduce any new initiative of investments to protect and ensure that women and children are safe in Ontario. Women in my riding are waiting over six months for services from Sexual Assault Centre and 18 months for supervised access programs. Organizations across Ontario that help victims of gender-based violence have not had an increase in 15 years.  This government refused to tell us how they are spending our money so through a Freedom of Information request we have discovered that the government has spent about 8 million so far and that doesn't include the 38 million on ads this government has placed since 2019. That's a lot of tax money that could have gone into investments in health care, in housing and preventing gender-based violence. Ontarians will be watching and hoping to see a budget that shows this government understands that it is their more responsibility to help the people of Ontario. Thank you very much. Member statements, the member for Perth Wellington. Thank you, Speaker. As many in this place will know, by 2026, one in five jobs will be in the skilled trades. And through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, our government is ensuring students are gaining the necessary skills to secure these good-paying jobs. Recently, the Avon-Maitland District School Board held its first skills competition this month enlistable. Students from four area high schools demonstrated their craftsmanship and technical skills, taking part in welding and carpentry competitions. Among the standout performers was Leland Gill, a grade 12 student from LDSS, whose exceptional skills secured him a spot at the upcoming qualifying competition at Fanshawe College. Listable students Mack Frey and Kieran Coulter earned a place in the team two carpentry provincial competitions on May 7th in Toronto Speaker. And students in hairstyling and individual carpentry will also be advancing. Students from St. Mary's DCVI Stratford District Secondary School and Godrich District Legion Institute also participated, showing the area's depth of talent. Thank you to the tech teachers at Avon-Maitland District School Board for organizing this important skills competition, allowing local students to showcase their technical talents but also helping prepare the next generation of skilled tradespeople. Through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program and many other initiatives, our government will continue to ensure students are prepared for the jobs of the 21st century. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you very much. Member statements, the Member for Ottawa South. Thank you very much, Speaker. I'd like to take this opportunity to say a few words of remembrance for our dear friend, Jeffrey Paul Church, who passed away suddenly on February 29th. Jeff and I met in high school. We had a lot in common. We both skied, had part-time jobs in grocery stores, loved music, and all those other things that teenage boys like to do. We had a lot of fun together and somehow managed not to get into any really serious trouble. It was Jeff who first introduced me to Linda back in high school. He had known Linda since grade school and it is something that we're both still very grateful for. He was the best man at her wedding. Jeff met the love of his life, Joey, and they remained together until her passing in 2018. I was the best man at their wedding. They were godparents for our daughter, Kirsten. After leaving Ottawa, Jeff and Joey lived in Halifax, Charlottetown, the island of St. Croix in Picton. The island life appealed to them. Here are some words from Jeff's sister, Pam. He was such a sweet guy. Boating, aircraft, guitars, and classic rock history were Jeff's passions. There may never again be someone who knows more about the artists and albums of classic rock. He also took up playing guitar as a teenager and amassed quite a beautiful guitar collection. He was working on a custom guitar build the day he passed away. Boating, especially sailing, and working on boats was a way that Jeff loved to relax. To his sister, Pam, and brother-in-law, Glen, you were both so very good to him. To his nieces and nephews and his many friends, we will all miss Jeff. And we know that he is now reunited with his beloved Joey. Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you very much. Members' statements? The member for Mississauga, Aaron Mills. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take the opportunity to wish all Christians who celebrate the Good Friday and Easter a happy Easter. Speaker, a number of diverse businesses in Mississauga are flourishing, and new ones continue to open shop. They are choosing Ontario as a home for their businesses because we have created conditions for prosperity and growth that haven't been seen in long In just a few weeks alone, I have attended multiple grand openings, including two Pakistani restaurants on Ridgeway Drive, Lahore, Shatkarah, and Lahore Flame. We were also in the opening of New Tahini Shore, Mount Glen, Aaron. They started in London, Ontario, and now they have 30 locations. And I visited a few international and ethnic grocery stores, including Hyperama South African Shop and Avna Farm South Asian Market. Speaker, these are just limited examples of recent grand opening in Mississauga. People come from all around to visit new businesses, restaurants and stores in Mississauga, Aaron Mills. Because in Mississauga, we have diverse and prosperous local businesses sharing all cultures. You can see, smell and taste every culture from every nation, and ethnicity is an ethnicity. Trust me, if you want to explore ethnic food, international cuisine, multicultural businesses, there is no better place in Canada than Aaron Mills. And the grand openings aren't ending anytime soon. Mississauga is growing, commerce is thriving, and Ontario remain open for business. Thank you. Thank you very much. Member statements. The member for Glen Gary, Prescott Russell. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week, I got the opportunity to participate, to participate, to two legislative assembly virtual tours offered to students of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, which is located in the town of Russell in my writing. I want to take this opportunity to thank the tour team here at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario for this great initiative. Ontario is a big province, Mr. Speaker. To have these virtual tours available both in English and French for every school of the province is a good occasion to teach students about all the provincial government works. It was great to be able to participate to these virtual tours and greet students and answer their questions at the end of the tour. I believe that there is a possibility that we might have some of these students that are after my job, Mr. Speaker. A few students asked me how to become an MPP, and I told them that the best way is to get involved in helping each other and offer their service to the community. I really enjoyed explaining the role of an MPP and the kind of services we offered to our constituents. I want to thank all the students who took part of the event and would like to invite all schools in my writing to participate to these virtual tours so students can learn more about the provincial government of Ontario. Thanks. Thank you very much. That concludes our member statements.
