Item number SCP-050 Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures So far, all attempts to contain SCP-050 have proven fruitless. Footnote 1 Testing to contain SCP-050 has been discontinued at this time. At present, whoever has possession of SCP-050 is to leave it in an office they use regularly. Footnote 2 Attempts to leave SCP-050 at unused offices have resulted in it following its owner home. This is a violation of regulations and not to be allowed. Description SCP-050 appears to be a statue of a monkey reading a book, approximately one foot tall. Footnote 3 One of the quirks of SCP-050 is that no matter what form of measurement is used, any record of said measurements will quickly be replaced by the customary system measurements. When the bottom of the statue are engraved the words, to the cleverest and cursive script. The statue has so far proven resistance to all forms of damage. Footnote 4 Attempts to damage SCP-050 have resulted in increasingly lethal pranks. As of this writing, destruction testing is discontinued. As such, there is no accurate method to date the object. When left alone, SCP-050 has shown itself to be both useful and antagonistic to its current owner. Footnote 5 Seek Document 050 Although never seen to move, no matter the manner or amount of recordings, any room is left in becomes very clean to a polish whenever possible. Paperwork is filed, trash is emptied, and a general clutter is removed. However, SCP-050 also has a tendency to leave traps for its owner, so current holders should carefully check their offices upon returning. Document 050 The Great Researcher-Prank War of ████████ on January ████, 2000 During an attempted capture of SCP-963 by Chaos Insurgency agents, Dr. Breit made use of 963's intrinsic capabilities to make fools of the attempted kidnappers. When Breit returned to his office, he found a monkey statue waiting for him. His office had been tidied in his absence, and everything filed away, which came as something of a shock for the naturally messy Dr. Breit. Upon further investigation, it was found that, despite the apparent tidiness of his office, all of his pens had been drained of all but the last bit of ink, and several important documents had been translated in aromac. Dr. Breit immediately began the usual testing of the new SCP, but found himself going nowhere until Dr. Wright's, as payback for something unspecified, smeared his desk with one half of a compound epoxy, and applied the other half of the compound to his utensils. At this point, SCP-050 vanished from Dr. Breit's office, reappearing in Dr. Wright's office, whereupon 050 began to clean up again. After several tests, it became apparent that SCP-050 was easily contained, as long as no one outside the Foundation proved to be cleverer than the Foundation scientists. Of course, this led to many of the Foundation scientists seeking to claim the title of most clever for themselves, and thus began the great researcher prank war of ██████ Memorandum 050-A. No good will come of this, 05 ████. Entry 1. Breit vs. English. Entry 1. Dr. English access is SCP-705. 705 is allowed access to approximately 100 lbs. of similarly colored Play-Doh. After several minutes' conversation, the new army retreats to the ventilation shafts. No footage of Dr. Breit's room exists, but several hours later Dr. Breit stumbles out, covered in little red welts, and red Play-Doh, swearing and muttering, SCP-050 transfers ownership to Dr. English. English vs. Isendorf. 11.30 PM on ██████ Agent Strelnikov is seen exiting his room in full rage, carrying a machine gun. Smoke pours from the open door of his quarters. Senior researcher Isendorf is later found to be in possession of 050, proving that a good enough prank will attract 050's attention no matter the target. Entry 3. Isendorf vs. Kondracki. At 10.25 am ████ Dr. Isendorf returned from a brief copy break to discover a typed note sitting on the desk, rewritten here. Dr. Isendorf. It seems there was a problem with the Class-A amnesiac requested following your SCP-231 assignment. Please hop on the next plane leaving from the site, and wait until someone comes and picks you up so that we can get all this sorted out. Cheers. 05 ████ Despite factual and stylistic errors in this note, and appropriately informal style, the fact that there is no overseer of SCP-314, Dr. Isendorf apparently took the note seriously and became highly distressed. Dr. Isendorf boarded the next airplane leaving Site-23, which turned out to be a regularly scheduled flight traveling to Site-19. Dr. Isendorf apparently did not realize this until landing, at which point he still waited over 8 hours outside the site, before a guard found him and asked him what he was doing. Dr. Isendorf soon confirmed that he had never been assigned to SCP-231, and quickly worked out what had happened. SCP-050 was observed in the office of Dr. Kondracky later that same day. Kondracky vs. Cald 07 ████, 2009 Dr. Kondracky was called away by Assistant Researcher Hoss under the pretense of an SCP-173 containment breach. Security cameras recovered footage of the ensuing prank. Upon returning to his office, Kondracky pauses briefly when it reaches his door. Moments later he is seen backing slowly out of his office, keeping his eyes fixed on something inside. It was later revealed that Dr. Cald had placed a replica of SCP-173 in Kondracky's office, positioned in such a way that it faced the door, establishing eye contact with whoever might enter the room. Kondracky continued to retreat until slipping on a hit or two unnoticed puddle of cooking oil. The replica of SCP-173, made of wireframe, paper mache, and spray paint, was relocated to Dr. Kondracky's office shortly followed by SCP-050. Cald vs. Yorick Upon returning to his office on ████, 2009, Dr. Cald was surprised to find a statue replaced with a note reading, I can't believe no one thought of this. The statue was later located in the staff locker of Agent Yorick, who had simply stolen it. Yorick vs. Cald Statue returned to Cald, Yorick's living space and utter disarray. Agent Yorick is found unconscious. The words, to be earned, tattooed on his forehead through unknown means. Cald vs. Light Cald vs. Light Cald vs. Light Cald vs. Light From ██, 2009 to ██, 2009, maintenance teams were called twenty-seven times to Dr. Cald's office while he was out, all having received orders to install, repair, or remove a piece of furniture from his office, apparently at random. Dr. Cald became increasingly paranoid about these intrusions, considering his possession of SCP-050 and that ████ of ████, 2009, decided to bring his paperwork and the SCP back to his quarters and work from there. Upon entering his quarters, Dr. Cald was doused by the contents of a bucket carefully balanced on the entrance to his door jam. Ownership of SCP-050 changes to Dr. Light. Light vs. Coleman On ██, 2009, Dr. Coleman was seen pinning a notice to the Break Room Notice Board which read, due to the effects of SCP ██, all personnel who have received an amnesiac of any kind within the past six months are required to report to Dr. Light immediately. This was signed and notarized by no fewer than seventeen members of O5 Command and senior staff. After seeing this, an email was immediately sent out retracting the information and causing mass panic among some of our more paranoid employees. After what can only be described as a thumb rush on Dr. Light's newly refurbished office resulting in the destruction of many items contained within, SCP-050 was found on Dr. Coleman's desk. Coleman vs. Okagawa On ██, 2009, Dr. Coleman was called out of his quarters by an email from an unknown source. Five minutes later, security footage showed Dr. Okagawa entering Schumacher's quarters carrying a bag with unknown contents and leaving the room a few minutes later without the bag. Upon returning, Coleman discovered a dead rodent which appeared to have been slattered into secretions of SCP-447. Personnel in adjacent rooms reported hearing a stream of profanity followed by a thud. Researchers found him passed out on the floor while the slime was later identified as green gelatin from the kitchen and the dead rat as a rubber toy. SCP-050 was later found in Dr. Okagawa's office. Okagawa vs. Chappelle's Ski Videologue ██, 2009, 1234 PM, Dr. Okagawa leaves for the cafeteria, presumably for lunch, late breakfast. Researcher Tepelski is seen entering Dr. Okagawa's office, carrying several testing vials in SCP-████. Left the office five minutes later, closing the door behind him rather hurriedly. Okagawa returns ten minutes later, opens the door and is snagged by a large tentacle which pulls him into the office and shuts the door behind him.  The team is seen trying to neutralize the cephalopod in free Okagawa. The animals remains were subsequently destroyed. SCP-050 has been located in Researcher Tepelski's office. Tepelski vs. Jones vs. Tepelski vs. Jones vs. Bright Entry 11-1 on ██, 2012, Researcher Tepelski came into work at approximately 0800 and promptly received a pie in the face courtesy of Project Director Jones. SCP-050 was found on Project Director Jones' desk later that afternoon. What? That wasn't original at all, Dr. Bright. Entry 11-2 on ██, 2012, Project Director Jones reported to his post researching SCP-████ upon entering the facility he was met by Researcher Tepelski who threw two pies at his face. SCP-050 was found in Researcher Tepelski's office 10 minutes later. Entry 11-3 on ██, 2012, Tepelski entered his office to find Project Director Jones waiting for him with three pies which he promptly threw at the Researcher's face. SCP-050 appeared in Jones' workplace that evening. Guys, I think we broke it. Project Director Jones. Entry 11-4 in the middle of the workday, Dr. Bright entered Jones' Research Lab with four pies which he threw in his face.  SCP-050 was on Dr. Bright's desk upon his return.   Project Director Jones. Bright vs SCP-732. In 2012, an error occurred in the Foundation Main Database, reassigning System Technician Kent to a squad did stop to Dreadlord S. Toff side the cleaning crews during the segging of Castro Hellfire assignment. Joshua Kent was ordered to save to Princess Ashley from the Baron Blackstaff. Sewage with several gallons of feces, gold and platinum, $9 on his head. During the second half of the assignment, Sir Kent and his friends the magical Nightbob had to test several Super Magic weapons despite the odor. During this time a routine system sweep had found a barrel of pure awesomeness in the database. Despite the numerous nearby systems that could have been infected, SCP-1337 fought the Dreadlord on a volcano concerning System Technician Kent's assignment. System Technician Kent was returned to Site-23 largely unharmed, SCP-050 was discovered sitting by a hard drive heavily infected with SCP-732 with the statue seemingly considered a virus its new owner. Entry-13 Entry-14 Entry-15, SCP-732 vs. Light On ██, 2012, Dr. Light connected the SCP-732 infected hard drive to a scanner and asked 732 if it could produce lolcat images on request. Its response presented in the form of an 8,000 word erotic story featuring itself in the form of a man named Lord Kickass, Dr. Light and ██ was that with the help of SCP-050 it could do anything. Dr. Light provided SCP-732 with scanned photographs of SCP-577, SCP-529, SCP-607, and two instantiations of SCP-331, SCP-732 produced 10 lolcat images for each photograph. Dr. Light then provided SCP-732 with SCP-637 in the form of a drawing by SCP-637-2. As a result of this, SCP-732 was rapidly overwritten with an estimated 63 GB of text describing SCP-637's actions and appearance, whether this information could have filled all available computer memories unknown, as the last actions of the Lord Kickass instantiation were to induce total mechanical failure to its hard drive, accompanied by catastrophic uncontrolled oxidation. SCP-050 was found in Dr. Light's office the next morning. Note, SCP-637-2 reports that SCP-637 was not harmed by adventure into SCP-732, but that its fur was really messed up. Note, other copies of SCP-732 seem unaffected by the suicide of Lord Kickass.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant, and welcome back to the channel. It is Showdown Sunday, second week in a row, where we have a big time showdown matchup in FIFA 21, taking place in real life. We have Liverpool versus Manchester United today, and I wanna take a look at a couple of these cards. Again, talk about this SBC, how it impacts the market, because I think both these guys are no longer completable inside of the game. I believe that their SBCs are gone, because, of course, EA makes them expire before game time, because they want you to take that risk to do that SBC. But we are gonna find out who wins today, whether both of these cards get upgraded, like last week with the Malin and with the Kleiber, or if just one of them gets upgraded. I think if you had to, I wish we had some percentages, right? To see how many people have done one or the other SBC. I think a lot of people didn't make Tom and I. I think that's the one that most people are kind of rooting for and hoping for, because those Manchester United links, him getting a plus two would take him to an 87. He'd have a pretty cracked out card, to be honest, Miller would have a pretty decent card as well if he'd go to an 87. So, either way, I did not do either of these SBCs. I know a lot of you guys won't make Tom and I, and you're not in to win, so that card would be very interesting if he did win. But the cool thing about this is, is that there's so much hype generated for these SBCs, and that hype goes into real life, right? Like, we're looking at this McTominet card, and I don't know if you guys remember last week, but the ratings, like I think it was the air did as he came out and said that the ratings for that game versus Iax and PSV were like the most number of live concurrent viewers that they have ever had watching that Derby or that matchup ever before. Like, it's crazy how much hype FIFA can create for cards in this game. So there's gonna be a lot of eyes on the Liverpool menu match today. Those cards should get upgraded pretty soon because I remember Kleiber was updated, I think, within a day or so. So, hopefully, I think Acuña was updated within a day or so as well. So, hopefully we get quick updating cards today on our Sunday in FIFA. So that's like the big thing that a lot of people are gonna be watching today, is that matchup to see which of those two cards gets upgraded based on the game. But also, we need to talk about this market because, as we talked about yesterday, this weekend league, this sell-off, it's happening, right? The market crash is happening, okay? I knew that it might take a little bit longer than a normal weekend league sell-off just because more people are grinding out for more footchamps wins this weekend with the extra player picks available. But we are headed into the Sunday night time or Saturday night into Sunday. This Abape is literally down like 30K in the past couple hours. Neymar is down a lot. These cards are really starting to take a drop in price. Whereas earlier today, a lot of people were like, yo, Nate, this market really isn't crashing, man. Well, you take a look at it now, it 100% is. Neymar is 667,000 coins, 665, sitting on the market right there. He was 688 earlier today. So he's dropped a lot. But one of the areas we're really seeing a lot of this selling is on some of the out-of-pack specials. The Sadio Mane foot-freeze item is 1.9 mil.  So he's down a lot right now under the 1.9 range, which is kind of crazy. And of course you're seeing gold cards take a big hit as well. I was looking to see Cristiano Ronaldo get down to a point where he might get to a million coins and he's not too far off, boys. He's really not. He's 1.04, 1.03 for Ronaldo right now on the market. This guy's probably gonna be a million. Now again, is this the absolute low point for a lot of the stuff? I don't think so. I think it probably still drops throughout the week this week. Just because I don't really imagine that a lot of people are going to want to buy. I don't think there's a lot of people that are gonna want to buy cards this week. Again, like I talked about in a past video, it's just people are not gonna be willing to spend their coins because they know that Team of the Year is coming and they don't want to be risking it for the biscuit with the new promo that is coming out very soon and all that it brings. That's why you're seeing a lot of the market again go down. It's actually kind of fun. If you take a scroll over here to flip in, you take a look at some of these prices. It's kind of crazy to see some of that drop-off and some of just where they have gone from where they were, right? This mine is 1.9. Bernardo Silva's 5.35. Casemiro, 3.48. This guy was 3.80, almost 400K this weekend. He's down a lot. Of course, Dembele's dropping some. St. Maximus down over. Technically he's down 100K from his peak yesterday. So it's kind of cool to, maybe not cool if you're losing money on these cards, but just interesting to scroll through and look at how far these guys have dropped from where they were. It's just very amusing, I guess you could say, that we knew it was coming, boys, right? We knew that this panic sell was coming. We knew that these cards were gonna be dropping, but it's actually kind of nice to see it, right? It's nice to see it because we have been thinking about this for the past couple of days. Honestly, we've been expecting this stuff to really drop, and now it finally is. It's finally dropping, it's finally coming down in price. So I won't say that it's nice to see, but if you've sold your cards already, like we talked about, it is nice to see. Now, it is very cheap, it is very late night right now, so that means you can find some deals still because a lot of these guys are rare. I bought this Firmino at 159, small profit there to 173. I bought this Porto at 170, small profit there. I still have a couple cards that I'm trading with. My Erling Holland, right? I'm still losing Mad Coins in this card. I bought them while trying to flip him in his game today. He plays on Tuesday, so I might actually end up holding on to this Holland card and seeing if I'm able to flip that later on this weekend once his price rebounds a bit, probably shouldn't have relisted him because he's like 5'20 right now. If that sells, I don't really wanna lose my coins just yet, but I'm trying to make up some coins for that loss. But if you wanna try to trade with cards this weekend, focus a lot on these out-of-packs guys, right? Record breakers, watch this Spend Yetter card, of course, he's probably getting an inform this week. You know, he is very rare on this game and sometimes he gets undercuts, right? So sometimes he gets undercut and just watch these really rare cards because they still fluctuate a decent amount and you're still gonna be able to get some sales on them because especially if you're in the PlayStation market there's still enough buyers out there that might be buying some cards at a certain point in time that you can get some sales. But again, what we're kinda talking about now in this game is like the start of preparation for Team of the Year. Some people were like, yo, are we seeing a loading screen today on Sunday? I heard a couple people talking about that. I don't think I would expect a loading screen today on a Sunday. Now, one thing I also wanted to debunk is the fact that the Team of the Year voting is over on January 18th. Now, if we read the fine print, this has been misunderstood by a lot of people. If we read the fine print from EA Sports, the voting ends on 1159 Pacific time, January 18th, which is 8 a.m. UK on Tuesday, the 19th of January. So it's literally impossible that Team of the Year would come out on Monday, January 18th. I think it's literally impossible because the voting will not be over yet. So I think Team of the Year is gonna come out this Friday or Monday, either the 22nd or the 25th. It's gonna be one of those two days. But I think this week is when you're really gonna start to see the promo stuff from EA. Once the voting ends, I mean, I remember last year there were multiple days of loading screens where they gave us hints. Like each day, they gave us another hint, right? They showed us the card design. They showed us like a couple names and hints and clues back on the wall of who's gonna get in. I would expect some sort of teaser loading screens to probably start on Tuesday, maybe Wednesday, but I think EA's really gonna start hard with the promotion of Team of the Year this week. I mean, starting even, I don't know if they do it today because the voting's not over yet, but they've been tweeting out, you know, Real Ferdinand's Team of the Year 11 that he picked. So I think you'll continue to see a few more of those tweets roll out. I'm just not sure what EA does for content in this game though, because if they really want to, if they really, really want to, they can make it one big last week of content on the game before we have Team of the Year. One thing I do think you will see this week is they will start to drop a couple of flashback SBCs. And like if you guys remember Flashback, David Louise last year or Player Moments of Bernardo Silva, those SBCs, a couple of I think dropped right before Team of the Year actually came out and they were out for like 20 days, kind of like how Firmino was out for a long time. I think they'll drop a big name player, Flashback or some sort of SBC this week, maybe like a Wayne Rooney end of an era type card. They could drop, they put it out for like 20 days or so and that's a card that you can, you will see as an SBC that it will be craftable during the Team of the Year time period with upgrade packs out and stuff like that. So there's a lot to talk about with the SBC stuff. I think they will also put out an icon SBC in the next couple of days, a repeatable one, whether that's a repeatable mid or a repeatable base player pick. They might have a couple different repeatable icon SBCs out in the game. I think that's something EA wants to do to set that up and have it in the game for when Team of the Year is going on, when all the packs are being opened, that you can open those SBC packs and drain your new coins that you get from opening packs into those as well. So again, it's a normal Sunday on FIFA Ultimate Team for the fact that there's gonna be more weekendly sell-off, prices are gonna drop lower. If you do wanna trade, you can just be careful, right? Just be careful, because cards are constantly being undercut with each other and there's not gonna be as many people buying, but you will find some good snipes out there and you will see some prices drop and still fluctuate on some of these rare cards, right? Like this Port 2 card's 198 right now, which is really, really high for him, but he's just kind of fluctuated to a high and he's one of the only right wings in La Liga, especially around this price point and with his live card. So you'll still be able to get sales on some cards, but just be careful with this weekend as you're watching. I just expect today to be another landslide day on the market and a lot of these prices continue to drop lower. I did have a couple of questions asking, yo, will you be buying cards tonight on Sunday night for a rise on Monday? And in my honest opinion, I'm probably not gonna touch any of that because yes, you might see a couple cards uptick. Like this Carrasco's 155. I mean, he was 175, 180 all weekend on a PlayStation. Jeannie Wine, all of them is down, I think because of the rumors of him going to Barcelona. I'm not sure if those were legit rumors or not, but I think that might be partially why his price is down a decent amount. But a lot of the gold cards and a lot of every card, man, is really just getting sold off a lot this weekend. You don't need me to sit here and tell you that. Renato Sanchez 234, that is low, man. That is low, bro. So I guess if you're gonna focus on cards this weekend to maybe get in and be interested in for trading, watch the games, right? Watch the live items that happened from the games today. Sheffield, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Crystal Palace. We have many wants to watch cards, many headliner items that have games on the line here for this, even in the Serie A, Inter and Juventus. That's a pretty big game. So just kind of watch out for these games today, live items that might move around and keeping on a watch on these out-of-pack specials. And honestly, just start to get your club ready for team of the year. If you want to, today might be a day where a lot of people start to buy rare golds. People might be going on a sign on rare golds today because this is a day on Sunday where we have the squad battle rewards timeframe. And I think this is a time where a lot of people will say, hey, go out, start buying those rare golds, go on a sign if you want to stock up on these and get ready for upgrade packs that will come out during team of the year. So if you do wanna do that, I think you're gonna have some competition because a lot of other people are gonna be doing that as well. And just be mindful of how much coins you're putting into that because we'll talk about the rare golds and stuff as we get towards team of the year. But if that's something that you wanted to do, it might be an opportunity to do that today on FIFA. But honestly, boys, unless EA surprises us with some big time content today, I'm not expecting that big of a Sunday. Just more weekendly sell-off, people finishing their week in leagues to get those extra player picks, which has kind of prolonged the sell-off, which is why we're really starting to see it now and we're really starting to see that market drop. But the last thing I wanted to say was, this is kind of one of your last chances to craft and to do these SPCs right here. I would recommend doing these. If you have not done them, the 82 plus attacker upgrade, the 82 midfielder and the 82 defender, I have done these SPCs and I have put them in my pack section and I'm saving them for team of the year because, yes, I know the probability is very, very low, but there is a chance that you could pack a team of your card from one of these SPCs and possibly hit it big from one of those squad building challenge packs that you have saved up. So I'm gonna be saving those. I'm gonna be doing my icon swap packs as well and saving those for team of the year. So yeah, boys, today on the market, I hope you've sold all your cards, right? A lot of us, we've sold our cards. We're kind of just chilling, right? Maybe trying to do a few trades, watching headliners, like, you know, Holland is one card that I would watch. He was down at 500K flat today after, of course, Dortmund lost their streak.  So this is kind of an interesting card, again, that I'm just keeping an eye on because I think that he might be a bit underpriced, just specifically that he could rebound back into his game a little bit. 490, is that on the market right now? What? Oh, man, that's looking kind of juicy right there. 490, this guy was literally just like five, almost 520K. I'm not gonna pull the trigger because I'm broke as a joke, but that would not be a too terrible buy because I think you might see some cards rebound back into the week a little bit, but a lot of people aren't gonna wanna buy this week. So we'll talk about that tomorrow in the Market Outlook video. And unless EA drops some sick content today, kind of be a snoozer of a Sunday continuing what has been going on this past week. So honestly, not a lot to talk about, except for the summer showdown, not summer showdown. Just the showdown SBCs between Manchester United and Liverpool today. And we'll be covering, if we get any more information, we'll be covering that here on the channel for this next week.

Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosel here. I want to do a quick video today. Something I'm doing at the moment a lot is converting between Israeli salaries and world salaries. So I just want to show quickly what you can do to save yourself a bit of time. Build out a Google sheet commonly called a G sheet for doing this conversion. So I'm going to call this Israel to World Salaries. And I've done a blog post about this before, but I I always like to just think it's easier to sometimes narrate something as a video or screen share explanation. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to pick an Israeli salary. So we're going to say salary in sorry, ILS. You'll commonly see people abbreviate the shackle as NIS. I think ILS is technically more official and I'm going to plug in 17,000 as my amount. Now people are going to point out, well, you know, you can't just do an equivalence like this. Yes, there's going to be complications for social security. There's going to be other factors. This is just part of the research process. I'm going to call these exchange rates. So what I'm going to do is that's my salary in shackles. I've gone for 17,000 is kind of a, you know, basic. Well, salaries, you'll find salaries lower. You'll find salaries higher than that, but something normal, let's say. And then I'm going to run a few conversions to Equiv equals USD. Whoops, I can't do that. Equiv USD equivalent in Euro. And I'm going to do equivalent in pounds sterling, Great British Pounds GBP. And now I'm going to just bake in a few formulas. So this is, this is what you do. So Google Sheets works with Google Finance and you can use Google. Call Google Finance in a formula, which is really useful because you'll be able to pull in the live exchange rates. So that means that when you open up your, this document, you'll know that you're using the actual current exchange rate. So particularly when you have currency pairs like the Israel, the shackles, a dollar pair that's moving quite quickly at the moment, it's important to be using updated info. So here's just what I got from the internet and just demonstrate the usage. So here's your starting cell, asterisks for multiplying by Google Finance. Then in brackets, you have your currency pair. So the, the syntax is currency, currency semi colon origin currency and target currency. So that's how you denote the currency pair and then close off quotation and close bracket. Now there's a complication in that salaries in Israel are quoted in monthly and in most of the world, it's per annum or per year. Therefore we're going to need to multiply the origin figure by 12 and then do the exchange. So that's not so hard. Our starting field is B2 equals our Israeli salary on this example. So what we're going to need to do here is equals for the US dollar. Let's start with that B2 multiplied by 12, then run this through whoops, the currency exchange API from Google Finance, then close off. I'm just going to save myself time, copy and paste. Now you might be wondering, well, how do I know what currency codes to use? So you can look up an online reference for just remember it's coming from Google Finance. So there's a website called spreadsheetpoint.com and they have the US dollar, Japanese yen. Canadian dollar is C-A-D, Euro is E-U-R. The Great British Pound is GBP and the Hong Kong dollar is HKD and the Singaporean dollar is SGD. So let's go now and change these round a little bit. So the second one is going to be to Euro and the third one is going to be to Great British Pounds. So just to reiterate what we're doing here equals our Israeli salary in field B2, multiply that by 12 to convert to per annum, then multiply that by this Google Finance formula, which is Google Finance, open brackets, quotation mark currency, colon, ILS, then the target currency and quotation mark and brackets. So let's just plug that one in firstly and we're good. So 17,000 shackles is equivalent to 65,606 dollars per year. So I'm going to show you how to round those down in a second in case you don't know. Now into the Euro field, you can tidy this up and put in the currency symbols as well. This is just kind of doing it a bit rough, but it should work. And finally, Great British Pounds. Now those are kind of awkward numbers to work with. 65,606, 57,332 euros and it's 48,904. And those exchange rates are all current FX. So what you can do is just displace the decimal a little bit so you can just round off this number here. And I'm just trying to figure out where that rounding utilities actually gone. But it's definitely somewhere, here we go. So if you see decreased decimal places, so you probably just need it to the nearest integer. So there we go. So now we're just rounding to the nearest integer. So 65,000 and you can add quotation marks if you will. And that's it. So 17,000. So what if I change the number? So what's 15,000 in dollars? 15,000 at today's exchange rate would be an annual USD salary of 57,888. And in Euro it would be 50,857 euros. I'm just going to zoom up a bit here. Let's do, whoops, yeah. Well if you're earning 19 shackles it would not be very good. 20,000 is 77,000 dollars. 25,000 is 96. Now if you wanted to work the other way you could of course also do that. So let's build out again salary in USD. So how much, what, if you wanted to make a salary of 100,000 dollars, well what would you need to earn in shackles? So I'm going to just do this time equivalent in ILS. And this is field E2. So we're going to just reference field E2. So E2 is our American salary. So therefore what we're going to do is going to be equals E2 divided by 12. So we're working the other way around this time. Multiplied, Google, Finance. And we're going to also be reversing the currency pair. It's USD to ILS rather than the other way around. And that should be good. So now I'm going to just go and patch that into my formula field. And a salary, a six figure salary of 100,000 USD exactly is at the time of recording this video equivalent to 25,912 shackles per month. So basically let's call that 26,000. So if you're earning 26,000 shackles, if you're earning that brutal or more than you're earning actually a gross salary of more than six figures in the US, and that usually that number in shackles is higher, but obviously right now it's a, because the currency exchange pair is in such a crazy place, that number is lower than you might expect. So, and then just Google, Finance puts up this disclaimer automatically at the bottom of your sheets saying quotes are not sourced from all markets and maybe delay by up to 20 minutes. Basically it's good enough for this purpose. So that is it guys. Hope that video was useful. Thank you for watching and feel free to subscribe for more videos from me.


When we hear the name Arthur Schopenhauer, descriptors such as pessimistic, misanthropic, and melancholic come to mind. But in this video, we will set these aside to focus on Schopenhauer's path to happiness. What does his philosophy have to offer us in respect to something so seemingly antithetical to his own worldview? To better understand, I think it would be best to first expose ourselves to his path to suffering. Schopenhauer believes like those profound philosophies of the East that suffering has its roots embedded in desire. That desire is like the alms thrown to a beggar that keeps him alive today in order that his misery may be prolonged tomorrow. No matter the number of desires fulfilled, there will always be innumerable others ready and willing to occupy any vacancy that happens to open up. Where Schopenhauer departs from his eastern influencers is that he sees no solution in the complete abolishment of desire, because as soon as one in suffering permits rest to a man, on we is at once so near that he necessarily requires diversion. On we, being a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from lack of occupation or excitement. We are doomed with desire and we are doomed without it. We are like hedgehogs clustering together for warmth, uncomfortable when too closely packed and yet miserable when kept apart. The disconsolate nature of this situation leads most to seek riches as the final solution. Should we then seek riches? No. While riches are as said by Schopenhauer absolutely good, they alone can achieve nothing, because our happiness depends on what we have in our heads, rather than on what we have in our pockets. To be happy in this worst of all possible worlds, we must at once recede into ourselves and focus all of our power on strengthening our intellect and refining the constitution of our consciousness. Throughout his masterpiece, The World as Will and Idea, Schopenhauer explains what is required of us to achieve this mastery over our will. We should begin with the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom. This should be sought above all else. Second, it would be of our benefit to adopt a determinist philosophy which recognizes everything as the inevitable result of its antecedents. The reason for this indefatigable pursuit of knowledge being the more knowledge we obtain, the better we can examine ourselves. And the better we can examine ourselves, the better we can understand the passions that would eventually lead us down the path of suffering if gone unchecked. While going about this self-examination, we should strive to observe everything we uncover with pure objectivity, leaving out any personal interests that may attempt to lead us down the fruitless path of desire. If the task at hand seems daunting, Schopenhauer suggests that we look to those great minds of the past for guidance, since it is only for such loving minds that these great ones have lived.

Our budget committee as well as orca media Hello, orca media Are there any amendments? Alrighty well, it's 502 should we head straight into the budget workshop? Alrighty presentation of office administration budget So is that you well it's a combination we basically collaboration with Sarah We have Pretty much try to level fund where we could we went down where we could I want to just say Anything with a question mark Which I may have looked like I missed a couple here The health insurance is like basically all the insurances are still up in the running They're waiting for our final numbers They're fairly close, I think I Level funded some of them that I didn't know so depending on the percentage increase they come across And the wages I have stuck at 2% and For wage across the board. We haven't even discussed wages So but I just put that in so there would be a number there So of course all your taxes for wages and everything like that Coincide with whatever number that you come up with I'm just gonna do my if I turn this off because we're just wasting money with 15 minutes You mean so in other words if she tries to call in She won't be able to get us. She'll have to call in the regular one. I'm sorry So that's basically throughout every category just not the administration part of it as far as insurances and wages So I am still again wherever I was missing information From the department I have just gone Whatever you have questions on So Welch Park is a that new line that we talked about right because we didn't Welch Park is our portion of what we pay for down We didn't have it as a separate line Yes, it was it was in there for 2,000. No, there was no budget for 2018. You're right Yeah, okay, and then we ended up having the expense which was Unordinary to have that kind of expense, but I think last year for this current year We had plugged in a thousand dollars So I plugged in a thousand dollars for next year, too But we did end up spending Fy 18 That was we ended up buying low computers and Hello, which is something that I wanted to discuss as well Hello Do you have to answer it on the other phone? No, I can answer it right here. I thought it was Mary, but Um, which I think our regular monthly maintenance now The computers is up over $6,000 a month. I mean So that's I think that something you really should take a look at And that includes that we added back in didn't we the Yeah, because we had extra time that was included by any extra We're just ongoing hours because we wanted to see how it went and you know, so we were paying the high rate, yeah, as opposed to a discounted rate and You know Peter and I are supposed to get together with Ruben again here Six months after the last meeting too. He was gonna come with data to look at where we actually stood and how much was I wonder if there's any comparison with some of the other smaller towns like what are they doing for computers? And is it costing them? Do we know I don't know how many computers are Well, I mean there's a whole network. We we essentially rebuilt the whole network, which was the being the main issue And backup was what we were really concerned about one we don't want to get hacked and We don't want to have a crash of all of our financial and land records and all that stuff And try to replace it Which has been it seems like it's been quite a bit better. Yeah Yeah It's weird because too bad that we didn't get the pack in the beginning You know, I don't think it would have had because whenever you do a rebuild like that There's always stuff that you're gonna have to work out, but at least Yeah, but we've held off doing the the email transition. Yeah, because I just didn't want to have any more Problem So it's a 600 a month based on the past or is it based on just you know, that's our monthly rate We have a six hundred and seven dollars a month So that's sixty two percent increase is truly the increase for what we budgeted last year Because we didn't have that type of contract Contract It's it's it's really the network the firewall and the server And the backup is really the you know the main cost repay for clouds Through our provider RV technologies towards its own cloud service Yeah, I think so everything in well we have two clouds We've got oh, we've got the cloud for a land records, which is ACS So that's that's owned by now continuing use visa Xerox And then we've got the system back there if you go down the hall hall way you can see that and then I think we're Storing stuff at RB technology. So we have and then Nemerick, which is our municipal software program So we've got multiple Hopefully should anything happen. We've got multiple. Yeah Yeah, never yeah never back up the payroll day or every shit back up every day Yeah, so never backs up every day to their cloud That's part of the agreement with them on the on the software and then what we Wanted was a secondary backup. So who we we put together the plan with RV technologies. We're backing that up everything all files email and and Backing up Nemerick again, so we have a redundant backup. That's good. Everything's off. Everything's off-site. So Yeah, and we don't have to mess around with tape drives and stuff like the old days Hard to write. Yeah, right. That's right. Yeah, you had an external hard cut So yeah, it is I mean, I think it is it is pricey for a small Yeah, but I think the concerns That we were starting to have was you know just kind of like do we really want to be the select board that has our financial system crash No Things which Undertown property maintenance there we the last year we spent $2,081 that was for painting and stuff So what we normally do is we take it out of the discretionary fund because we never budget anything in there So I don't know if you want to start budgeting anything in That because when it gets we always use discretionary money, but then it gets posted to the proper account for Accounting purposes. Yeah, so so far we have $930 and that and that is I think that's the Yeah, what we're where are we on the top under general government? Okay, this Under where is it? Oh, tell property me Okay, yes, so I don't know if that's something you want to consider putting a number in there for And that was we painted a little bit of town hall and we painted All we do the roof on them and this year you're doing some windows or lighting upstairs We're doing lighting downstairs. We've already done the lighting upstairs, but also I think Peter likes to do like one side of town Every but don't we have a building? Well, it's all where what happens is if you want it to come out of there then It should be noted as they always say didn't say take it out of the discretionary And the discretionary fund is just an extra really just an extra number in the budget or whatever You know, I think We kind of have this ongoing maintenance thing that we're doing that we ought to actually budget for it It's planned to work, you know, it gives us an idea how much money we're spending on that We can look at it over time rather than You know, then hoping we don't need the discretionary fund for something that really turns out to be an emergency So personally, I'd rather see us I think so Yeah Is there any line like that now for a building firm? I'm sorry Is there any line now for a building firm? I did put in I think some sort I think we might have Yeah There's building repairs under town hall Oh, there is So the town hall is Oh, yeah Yeah Right Separate from that Yeah For this That's not a fund, that's just a repair fund And that's strictly for this building like painting the fire at the park That old building didn't come under I guess this building where Patty posted it Because we did look up what was under there and she said it was painting up Building over here But you do have a building fund Yeah There's building maintenance in the fire department too Yeah There's That's the garage building fund Yeah Seems like you're underfunded Underfunded for long term maintenance Yeah Yeah Considering that Well, and I think we need to also talk about the conversation that we've been having about You know, another changing the town clerk office Building And so are we, if we want to present that to the voters It would be nice to have a little slush fund to say we're putting this towards it And I mean, I think we should take it seriously and not just keep talking about it Because eventually it's going to sort of be necessary And we don't want to present, have nothing saved for it And where are we with the elevator? We didn't do anything So the elevator is okay The elevator has a very tricky switch in it that With all due respect, Peter was falling with And we didn't stop But the, I think, and I may be wrong on this That if you guys want to just create a fund You've got to go to the voters to create a fund Right To create a fund So it looks like we have a, I might be wrong on this But it looks like we have a garage building fund But it doesn't look like we have a building, a designated building fund Yeah, we balance those things So you might want to consider putting that on the morning Yeah Right, and not funds, you know, this So we can have that as a separate conversation Yeah When we talk about special articles Yeah Is there a list of all the funds that exist for the town? It's not in that budget report But yes, there is several different funds That can only be used for those purposes What there are and aren't We can, they're available We can get them, you know Yeah, I can get you I can mail them to you next week if you want That would be awesome Yeah, they don't go in the budget status kind of reports Because they're really inactive, the money, you know There's appropriation that sits there Yeah, so something has to be taken So now what are we asking? We're talking specifically now about Well, I was just mentioning, you know That might be something you want The town is property maintenance Yeah, right So anything like that And I'm sorry, you came up with that 9.30 That was based on That's a number of that And I'm going to move that actually It was something that Mitch just gave me Before he left a few minutes ago And that's for lawn mowing for the town hall And for the property down on Three Mile Bridge Road So, but I'm going to move that into The town, the mowing here could probably go in Under the grounds for the town hall But I think the other needs to stay under For a town property It doesn't have it under his Remember how Mitch has his own Well, he has his own, but that's recreation It's not town So that's not the selling So this town property maintenance Doesn't that cover the whole town? Everything? Why does all of the departments have a separate fund then? For town property? Yeah Well, there's this, but Well, we have one for grounds It's not maintenance It's like town hall has a budget It's something you guys created You wanted everything associated with that This is just a general one That doesn't have its own entity Like the property down on Three Mile Bridge Road That has to be mowed And it doesn't fall under the wreck department Oh, that was going to be my question That doesn't fall under the wreck department Because it's not part of the wreck department So we're saying that should fall under General government? Right, because Alright, gotcha And that's where it Yep, yep, yep, okay And that's where you got the 930 Alright We have this guy, Andy Plant Who does the plantings around here That's not part of the wreck thing That's a good guy He is a good guy Yeah Okay See, moving down A little bit and trying to see where there was big changes Elections, it's not as many elections So that kind of went down Or we don't have to hold as many For that year So we went down on that Is that expense just paying the $15 that people make? Or what is that? No, it's the advertising It's... Right So in the 2019-2020 budget Which we're going to pay for Is the formatting of I think we're going to pay for it I think we'll get some money for this day Formatting for the presidential primary Okay So that's one election And then the formatting for the town For town meeting as well Because all the town is holding Where do the salaries come from Just the little money that people make That gets budgeted into Elections Collect them out of that money What do you do about the fact that The health officer and the animal control officer Never put in for their... They don't put it in So it just It's an unspent money But I think... But we do have the obligation I think it's wise to keep it in there I'm only putting in for one hour a week Yeah So... Eric is not asking for money? Someone's a bit of a bill Yeah But I do think you should have a placeholder Just in case So that gives you 52 hours of their time Does it make sense for us to... I mean, maybe we don't want to do this But the way that we get paid for the select board We're just giving a stipend to give them a stipend At the same time, we get our stipend So that they don't have to submit a bill I'd rather see them submit a bill I mean, they could end up with a bunch of hours Right They haven't been billing for it Right So we will pay them more than what we have budgeted If they presented us with hours And they fall more under our employee category Right Right, because you would have to pay payroll taxes on them Okay Yeah I'm sorry, are we going into this other... You can go wherever, yeah I just... I mean, I was kind of seeing that somebody I kind of gave me the overall summary of things Emergency management, as you know Under public safety That's something you guys really should go back I know it's a new line item, but... Remember how I tried to save the money for it every year? That was my goal, was to save money for it So that we'd have it Well, I think that the money was never put into a fund It was just budgeted and never used And that's what happens Unless a fund is created It has to go back into the general budget I just think that given the... Given what we've had to deal with With just the last weather event that we had That we need to be a little bit more cognizant Of what's going on around us in town To make sure that there aren't people who are Dying in their homes that we don't know about And the emergency management may... I don't want to... I think his budget was realistic In terms of what he presented to us And we're going to be probably relying on it More and more as time goes on On emergency management services So... I mean, I just say we bite the bullet on that I don't think it's asking a lot And if we find that it's something that we're really not using Then we can revisit it But... There were a few things that looked like Maybe we wouldn't use the money for it But I would imagine we'd use a couple thousand dollars That's not much money in there No, it's not a lot It just looks big on the budget It looks big on the budget You could go two years and not need it Right And you say... You know, five times that much Right Did work account Reach Drop Well, that's where I'm trying to get a clarification That's why there's question marks All over the place on that Yeah, they have gone down But we're like really off on some of these numbers With wages and Worker's comp and all And I have to talk to Patty And find out You know, because I think First of all, I think some numbers are getting Posted to a different category To where we budgeted it And You know, like... For instance, Sarah is a good example That... Because she's in General government as your assistant And then she's in administration As a clerk Right I think a lot of the discrepancy there is It's going to one and not the other And not being split accordingly So I need to talk to Patty on that But I'm also trying to... I'm waiting for some rates From our insurance company So that's why I hope to get that all Finally So kind of disregard Wages and workers comp And I know that's what's making these numbers Jump around Do you think our power will go down In the town hall once we change our lights? What was up with the 15% increase In the electricity for the town hall? Well, I opted up Because if you look at the budget For 2018 We budgeted We spent $2,600 So I upped it to $2,600 If we spent that in 2018 I can only imagine it'll be that in 2020 But I wonder, are these new lights Supposed to help with power Or are they just supposed to look better? No, they help with that They're switching their IDs Yeah Okay And we could probably... It's not a lot of money If you want to go back to Level funding it, that's fine You know, I just did Because we were over in 2013 No, that makes sense Hi, Roots, how are you? Show off to me Hi, Roots Would you guys mind sharing one of these? Yeah I know You guys can hold on to mine You can look at mine It's nothing It's kind of like the county tax Yeah You know That's one before I go home You've got to live with them My debt service did go down We did On some stuff So that helps What does it say on the agenda? It has the VLCT dues Where's the... I think it was deciding Whether to put it under correspondence Or... Okay What the dues are I think you put them in Yeah Yeah It's a big deal Oh, okay I think she was just going to say They use a per capita rate Right So it was a correspondence That's what it was going to be Is there anything about the Highway Department? Steve, that you Perhaps fine tuning Highway Department request Did I find flat? No, it says perhaps fine tuning Highway Department request Was there anything in the Highway Department That you wanted to fine tune? No The road salt is taking A pretty good job here Is that because you're salt In your shitty room? Is that where it was? Well, I don't know how much salt He used, but I mean We're trying to Use this much Yeah Chloride in the summer Chloride use in the summer Chloride use in the summer What's the main use? Where do you use that for? Well, the chloride Keep the dust down The paint complained And that's what we're trying to do I know I bet you I could watch that Being dry I didn't know You probably did Have watched me You must do it after E cloudy After I open the refrigerator With a heavy top That could be That we did have one of the Line item That water. Is that to the state? Is that every year? It's going to get worse. I know we talked about this, but I can't recall what we talked about in terms of budgeting for the elm trees. Is it the elm tree? Yeah. The removal of the elm tree? Yeah. That was a long time ago. But he spoke here. He said it was premature to do that. Okay, so not for 2020. All right. And there are recreation. I don't know if we've gotten down there yet, but Mitch is dropping the Portalette rental from two down to one. So, I say 600 bucks a day. So I saw something about that learn to swim. That's on the phone now. Right. And I wonder if that's something that, if it's something that, that's an addition, right? That's not, yeah. That's in the budget. We have $500 in rent to swim. Right. Well, this is a winter, but I was asking about the Waterbury program. So I wonder if we should make it $750. If that's something that's going to become a regular thing. Mitch said it was just that Waterbury didn't have enough kids to sign up. And so we talked to him and said, well, if you want to get some middle-sex kids for this winter swim program, you can do this. And the kids in Waterbury spend, pay 75 bucks. The full fee is 100 bucks. And what Mitch is going to ask for in this $250 line item is whether or not 10 kids can be funded that $25. So they pay the same. They pay the discount rate that the Waterbury gets. Okay. Got it? Yeah. I don't know how you guys want to deal with that. Right. That's what that's about. But I just wonder if that's something that becomes successful, it will become an expectation that there's this winter learn to swim as well. So, are you tired of me? No. I just, you know, do we want to do it once and never do it again? Or should we put it in the project? Where do they swim? First in fitness. Really? Yeah. Which is very unusual because they can't do the summer program up at First in Fitness because they don't have the personnel to do it. Is that right? Yeah. That's why it went to the Montpelier pool. It's because they couldn't handle it up there. That's why. First in fitness in the school. The First in Fitness doesn't often have lifeguards available. Right. And that was the problem with, so I'm surprised that that program is even in place because they can't accommodate us. All right. So let's not worry about it. Well, I just meant to put it in for next year's budget if that's the case. But let's not. Okay, so Shadyne Park is still now the state. Van Stanmoyle, what happened to that part of your, what does the Van Stanmoyle mean? He's now, it's all under the town B-O-R. I think it all gets, they don't bill separately. I think it's all under. Oh, the line of a bottle. Yeah. I think before it used to be a separate bill. I almost think you've had somebody. Oh, B-O-R. Okay. Yeah. So I think it's all under one now. Okay. So he only gave me one thing. Okay. But to the point there, it's, he gave me the same thing, but 2018 came in at quite a bit higher. So I guess I'm going to have to ask him, because he only gave me a budget number of 3,520 last year and this year, but yeah, it came in at 6,000 for 2018. So I'll go back and research those bills and ask what the difference is there. Alrighty. So to keep on the agenda, do we have any other questions about this? And this will, now that I've got most every budget in here other than fine tuning insurances and such, I think we should schedule like time to talk about at the next meeting or something about wages. Yeah. Then we can. Have we met with everyone else? Yeah. That has presented? Okay. So wage increases are plugged into this? Right. Well, I put a 2% in there for all everybody, but the numbers are not coming out in some cases because there was a part after we had approved the budget last year, we made some changes to wages. So it is going to make the numbers look a little bit different, but. So is it realistic, this realistic that we're going to come in under the last year's budget? But that's, no, that's, that number is very off right there. Yeah. That would be nice though, wouldn't it? It would be nice. It would be really good. Yeah. That's why I said don't leave everything in here. It was more or less because we hadn't given you anything on paper yet. And, but I just got two departments, you know, 430. I was just given the budget from two departments. So. Alrighty. Are we all set? Okay. Our regular meeting comes to order.  I don't know. What are we doing next? We can't meet. We haven't worn a meeting. Okay. Well, you are welcome to stay. Oh, okay. Perfect. All right. So we begin our regular meeting at 536. So we are going to review and possibly approve fiscal year 18 audit performed by Batchelder and Associates Action Possible, and we got that emailed to us. Yeah, emailed and I'll send you a couple of copies. I'll share one with someone. Thank you all kind of. Yeah, I gave you everyone. I looked at him. I sort of skimmed it. I lost a lot to read. Okay. So Dorinda, what did you think about the auditor's report? Was there anything that stood out to you that. Overall, she said all of our books were in order. All right, good. So there was nothing that I could see that jumped out as a problem. The good thing is is, I mean, they do go through and do a pretty thorough job as far as taking sandbrings of everything and. Was this her second year with them? And also, well, which is back to where she went up another $200 this year to do the budget. I don't know if that'll happen again, but it's definitely every year going off. So like everything else. Yeah, but I didn't see anything. I'm just trying reading. Yeah. Did Peter make any comment, Sarah? Peter did not make any comment, except to say that he was reading through it. So this is something that we have to approve. Something you're going to have to approve. Okay, so do we want to wait until Peter has looked at it before we do that? Is there any reason why we have to approve it right now? No, you just have to approve before you get the warning out. Right. And then she'll make up like I have to get back to her. This is only a wrap until you approve it and then she'll send the finals. What do you guys think? I'd like to know what Peter thought. Yeah, I think so too. I mean, I don't think he's going to see anything different than we are, but there's nothing that stands out in the report at all, but it's not fun reading. Right. No, it's not. I mean, I just think given the fact that Mary and Peter are not here that it would probably be a good idea for us to hold off. Yeah, pass over it till next time. All right, I'll put it on for the next meeting as well. Okay. Perfect. Well, now we're ahead of schedule. 545 Treasurer's Report, General Financial Review, action unlikely. Basically, I've been concentrating on the budget, so there's really nothing new to report. All right. Anyone have questions? Okay. So considering whether the town should try to renew the current town plan as stop gap while it is being revised for later in 2019 or 2020 townwide vote, no action. So I had a question about this because we have, now you're leaving. Have you left yet? Yes, you have. I'm gone. You're gone. Okay. Because the town plan as it is right now has expired, right? And then the zoning regs are also up for renewals. They haven't expired. Yeah, they haven't expired, but weren't we counting on the town plan? We're talking about the town plan, not the zoning regs. No, I know. But wasn't it something where we couldn't change something before we changed the town plan? You couldn't change the zoning regs? Yeah, we couldn't change the zoning regs. So I'm wondering where the zoning regs are in, they're just waiting for the town plan. So I just want to update this because since last time Mitch asked me to put this on. Yeah. Go for it. Okay. It's, you can, hey, the town that that ship that ship has sailed, you can no longer pass a old plan, renew an old plan because that plan's expired. So that's an option. So I guess now the conversation is the question that the Mitch and everybody wanted for the feedback from the select board was, is it worth trying to rush through a new town plan? And I don't think, I don't think physically that's possible with all the warnings and everything else like that. So now this question becomes kind of like a moot point now since you can, now we're looking, you're looking at either a special election in 2019 or else waiting until 2020. But anyway, to present a town plan to the town, correct. That's going to be whatever the planning commission is going to be working on. That's the one coming up with your timeline. So, but we can't renew the current town plan. So the question is, but we have to have a town plan. We have a town plan. No, I know, but one that's not expired. That's what we're working on. I know. But so I'm saying, but it's okay for us to have an expired town plan. I don't think we have a choice right now. Right. And till 2020, like it's okay for that to happen. Yes. The same question. What's the danger? Right. Yeah, I don't know. The danger according to bitch is that we will not be eligible for certain grants. That's right. Kind of like a chicken and egg situation. We were going to get a grant to help us do the town plan. Right. But we can't get that grant because we haven't done the new town plan. Right. Right. So that grant was that we went after was not particularly to redo the town plan, but to do a transportation study. That would have been part of the town plan. It would have been part of the town. Right. Yeah. So it is a little bit of stuff too.  If we don't have a town plan that don't zoning regs are stolen. That's only right. It's that we can't change the zoning regs without it co agreeing with the town plan. It all comes from the planning commission.  Right. Right. Right. So all right. So when did when did the zoning rights expire? They don't. I don't think they do. But if people if you want to make changes to them, they can't it can't be done if they don't coincide if they don't agree with what the town plan says. So I think that there were some changes that people wanted to make in the zoning regs that they couldn't make because it didn't agree with what the town plan. So then the idea was, okay, we'll change the town plan so that you can then adjust some of these zoning regs. So just now we had to redo the town plan anyway. Right. Exactly. Yeah. But okay. So we just yeah. Now we're just waiting for timeline from the planning commission. Oh, okay.  If you had any idea what that timeline looks like. Yeah. I think that the current planning commission would like to think there would be something in place by late summer. I don't think it's possible. Okay. Did you get any bites on the paper that you were advertising a position for the planning zero bites? Oh, excellent. Be careful. No, no, no. They need one one very for like one brief Wednesday. And so if you were interested, you could submit a letter and then we could put you on the agenda for the 18th. You can be the stopgap, but then you'd have to run again, but you'll need 15 to six inches. Oh, I'm just curious. Curiosity. Yeah. It's a good thing. Okay. Good. All right. So are we done with that? Okay. We need more young people. Wow. We're doing really well. It's quarter to six. Yes. I'll make sure we do. Yeah. For whatever the zoning ranks are. You just can't change the zoning ranks in here in the town, right? Sounds like that's the one to catch. Okay. So I guess we're moving to other business. Do we have enough people that were present at the meeting to approve it? Okay. So we're going to approve this like for minutes. Thanks for coming, budget. Almost approved in minutes of November 13th. All those in favor? All right. They have been approved. The November 13th minutes. Replacing 10 fluorescent lights in the town clerk's office with LEDs for $1,500 with a $300 rebate. Anyone have discussion about this? Sarah, would you like to talk about this? Peter asked for this to happen. Yep. Not here, but that's what he wanted. Okay. It's these lights here because the upstairs one is really placed. Okay. All right. We'll have it. I generally think that's a good idea. Yeah. And it's going to have a nicer color. We'll have a nicer color, the last longer, more energy efficient. Yeah. It's the energy efficient. Yeah. Perfect. Did you get it? Did you get a rebate? Yeah. Maybe you can help me fill it out because I'm in trouble with the form. I'll move approval on this. Okay. I'll second. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Okay. So we have approved the new lights at $1,500 for the $300 rebate. Is that something that you would do take care of that $300 rebate for? Yes. Allocating $250 for a winter learn to swim program in conjunction with Waterbury wreck action likely. So could you explain what Mitch said? Right. So the Waterbury recreation department has a learn to swim program that's run in the winter at first foot. And they have a certain number of kids they can have and they came up short. So they asked if middle sex kids or Mitch maybe could join. But so Mitch would like $225 per kid allocated from the town fund students. So kids in middle sex would receive the same discount that the Waterbury kids would receive. Okay. So that would be, so do they need 10 kids? They don't need 10 kids, but it's up to $250. Maybe they can motion it up to $250. Okay. Anyone have any discussion about that? I do. I'm not on the select one, but I do. Runny itself runs a winter wellness program right after the holidays. I think it starts and it either runs, it was six weeks, they might have cut it back to four weeks. But if one of the options is for swimming for kids. Right. So not lessons, but just not lessons, but just in the pool or something like that. I don't know when this program takes place, if it's like weekends or nights or when it is, but there is that program that the school is already, and the kids have the option of skating, swimming, or skiing, I believe. They did that when my kids were there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think just given the fact that swimming is a valuable lesson, I mean a valuable tool for people to have the skill of swimming that if we, you know, we're able to get some kids so that it could happen, I'm certainly for that. Because I think too, we might actually possibly get a better turnout in the winter than in the summer, just based on people with busy schedules and things like that. Just give something, you know. So anyway, I don't have any problems with it. Anyone else? Thoughts on that? Is that for this winter? Yeah, I think it is. Steve, any thoughts? I'm fine with it. Anyone want to make a motion? So, up to the 250. Yeah. 25. So that'd be 10 kids, I guess. Yeah. Did someone second that? Second. All those in favor? All right. I opposed. What happens if you have more than 25 kids that want 10 kids? They probably won't take more than they can go beyond 10. No, so probably first 10. Okay, so I haven't looked at the orders yet. So I will look at those. Yeah, okay. Cool. And do you actually know, Durand, how much is left in the fund for the what's next, middle sex? I don't. Actually, if you just, it's written on a separate order, so I think you can figure it out very easily.  Right, and then you had a WEC grant. Outside donation of, was that 500? I think it was 500. Okay, so I didn't know about that. I thought that went to like, I don't know, the food shelf and the local foods fundraiser, but it was given to this fund. It was given, it was designated for this fund. So my guess is there's almost $1,000 there left. Yeah, I didn't, she didn't leave until 6.30 last night. All right, so here is, so you're telling me that this is what's been spent. That's what we dispersed today. All right, so, and then I just don't remember what the original Community Loan Fund grant was. It was like an uneven dollar amount, but I can look at that. It was like 2,000 something. Okay, cool. All right, correspondence. Oh, reaction to junk ordinance letters. So did someone respond to that? Yeah, Tammy Horan was not happy. Okay, she sent an email complaining about the fact that the letter that, you know, I said on behalf of the board, the first letter had been delayed, it hadn't been sent right away, and I tried to explain to her that that was because the person making the complaint had some worries that she would get the letter, be mad, and then do nothing.  Okay, so I followed up by calling Bulldox, and it turns out that they have a guy from Barry who will call you up and give you, say, I'll give you this much for your cars, and I'll pick them up and drag them to Bulldox. He does it two or three times a day. Yeah, he helped someone just the other month for that. Did you? Yeah. So I sent that to her, and I have not heard anything less, and Peter did sign that letter, so it's not just for me. So what is our next plan of action? Well, they're here to select for us. I know. So, I mean, but what does it say in, I have to look at Doug Gordon's again. The ordnance is that after 30 days, if they don't do anything, you can find them, I think it's something like up to $50 a day for not complying with your events. Okay, so we haven't, you haven't, you know, the letter was mailed out November 15th, or something like that, so you have some time, it'll be something to address at the next meeting, but I thought that I would let you guys know in case Timmy calls or, okay, gives you an earful. Yeah. So, so you said the letter went out the 15th? Right. Okay. So, then we should have it on the next agenda because we want to follow through with this. Right. We're sending out the letters. We have to follow through. We have to follow through. Where's the property? Daniels Farm Road. Okay. Any other business that may come before the board? Do you want to mention something? Yeah, we're going to discuss the Kellogg-Harvard Library special article petition. So, right now the select board requires a petition as for the other special articles, and Tom McCone is the executive director of the library asked me to bring this up. The other member talents, the other contributor talents to Kellogg-Harvard Library don't require this except Worcester, William Worcester, the only one. So, the request is that the select board put that article on the town morning without requiring a petition. Is that requiring a petition? That requires an extra layer of work for the library. So, it's something that we as a select board would decide to put on or no? Similar to the way you put the conservation of $5,000 on. You'd have to be in your budget. It's like us, yeah, that we're doing, yeah. I don't... It's an extra layer of work for them. I don't... Most of the other towns in the city don't have it. I'm not comfortable putting that in the budget. It's something you have to do actionable right now. Right. I realize that. You have to do it in your next move. Yeah. It would still be a special article with all the others. Right. But it doesn't... Oh, you're saying it's a special article? You just don't require a petition? It's just not required signatures. So, it's not in the budget. It's the select one for the cells. There's only one right now that the select board does. That's the conservation fund. And so, Peter feels very strongly about this, and Mary, I know, feels very strongly about this. There's nothing you can do, but you can put it when you... You can bring it to... We can put it on the agenda for the 18th. Sure. And how do they feel about it? Their argument has been that people should work for it. Yeah. You should get the backing of the voters on the petitions first. I mean, they're on... We get to receive an awful lot of petitions. How much is the Kelly Pepper Library asking for this year, do you know? The same as last year. I have to look in the town report to tell you what it is. Why is the conservation commission treated differently? I don't know if you'd have to have Peter or those guys with a statue to the... Well, it's... I would think because they're a town entity and not an outside entity. The logic for the library would be it's the closest thing to a town entity. Oh, all of these special articles. Yeah. Do you guys want that to go on an agenda? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Any other business that may come before the board? No? Well, let's see. There does seem like there was one other thing that I can't remember. We had a bat here. Yes. Oh, did you get any calls on the clusterfly cleanup? I actually, as a matter of fact, Susan Rickstead is the only one who responded. She lives right next door. She used to have a cleaning business. So there you go. She looked pretty good. Georgia, I have a question. Oh, what's the deadline for petitions? I have... In case this doesn't pass. It's all on the town website. I have all the forms. I think I just... I'm trying to keep the deadline for the petition versus the deadline for nominations are two different deadlines. One's January 28th and one's January 17th. I think the petitioned articles are January 17th. And to run again or to run for a board is January 28th. So, but also that is all on our website. You can... Those are petitions that downloaded. I've had those there since July. It did occur to me just due to this power outage that we had to that that I think can I get a copy of that emergency, like the latest emergency management with like some of the people that may need to get contacted that are on our emergency list. I think I've got a PDF. Yeah, if you could send that because I... Is that on the website too? No. Well, the names of the people like to... Yeah. Contact when there's a power outage or something like that. I had consent to it. Yeah, we have the vulnerable population. Is what's his name Paul Atenty? He's not living in middle sex right now. No, they're actually just digging the foundation. Yeah, okay. So, so he's not necessarily attuned to what is actually happening in our town. Well, he was here last week. Well, I don't know about that. Okay. I'd say very attuned to what happened in the town.  He was here during... All right. He's on top of it more than we are. Oh, good. All right. He's here a lot for not living in town. Is he? Yeah. Yeah, all is fine. That's good. All is on. All right. Is that it? Did you get from Jeremy Hansen, the central amount internet report for the prior town reports? I might have. Okay. I'll check with you later. But that's a good thing to put into the town report. Thank you for reminding me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, by law, we have to... Oh, you do? The chair has to send that out. If you don't, if you didn't, or you didn't get it, I certainly have a copy. I can give it to you. Okay. I'm sure it's... We're just compiling everything now. I'm kind of ahead of the meeting. All right. Anything else? All righty. We're adjourning the meeting at 5.57.


Welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me today I wanted to come quickly and talk to you a little bit about whether or not I think there is a cure for PCOS and I the answer is yes. Yes, and yes there. I believe there is a cure for PCOS Traditional medicine would say no that's what they told me whenever I was diagnosed with PCOS They said that I would have it for the rest of my life, and there was nothing that I could do about it I just couldn't manage the symptoms as fast as I could and And I went through all the treatments that was was offered back in the 90s when I was diagnosed and To Novel I didn't get any relief until I started to change my lifestyle When I started to change my lifestyle that is when The changes happened and I no longer had any symptoms related to PCOS at all And I was one of those people who were weight worst case. I had all the symptoms. I had herceutism. I had Weight gain. I had insulin resistant. I had polycystic ovaries. I had Everything everything that was associated with PCOS. I had it and it was bad I'm a acne really bad acne And I had it and and I think that I first was diagnosed when I was in my teens I was like 14 years old because I had missed my period my period had stopped and my mother was like what is going on here? so she took me to the doctors and And they didn't they may have called it polycystic ovaries then this was in the 80s But I was 14 so I wasn't paying attention to what the doctor said honestly I was just like my mom wanted me to get checked out. I'm getting checked out What is it that? You want me to do so they put me on birth control pills and I was on the pill throughout my teens for the most part and Any none of the things that they gave me though over the years helped me with that until I changed my lifestyle So I think lifestyle is the way to change You know to heal up PCOS, but everybody has their own particular issues surrounding PCOS so it is helpful to get some advice from Someone who has some experience working with people with PCOS So if you have PCOS and you are struggling you want to conceive all that good stuff You don't want all these symptoms. I would encourage you to sign up for one of my free coaching sessions and so we could talk about your particular situation and Maybe we might be able to come up with with a solution as to what might be of assistance for your particular case If you don't want to do that you can go back through my YouTube channel I've got tons of information where I have talked about different things That I have done in my life went in regards to PCOS and You're more than welcome to to use that information. Also, you can follow me on Facebook. There's I do live videos on Facebook So you can You know look at the information there as well So anyway, I don't want to keep you too long, but I just wanted to just encourage you that yes You can't overcome yes You can be free and you can get your body to a place where it is working the way God created it to work And if you want to conceive you can heal your body. I believe you can I mean I can't guarantee you're gonna have a baby, but I Think that if you put your body in if you get your body in the condition that it needs to be optimally to Conceive that then I think you can go ahead and do that But it takes work. It takes commitment. It's not like some overnight thing but I Think it's doable if you had such a mind to it So anyway, y'all, thanks so much for watching and I will talk to you all soon. Take care


ers to focus on so we look forward to engaging with the cabinet secretary further and we've heard I think some positive and constructive contributions about the opportunities that the city deals to present I think near the end of the debate when we heard from Bruce Crawford I think it was really quite encouraging the way that Bruce Crawford spoke very positively about the potential in Stirling and Clifmaninshire I know you're nearing sign in the heads of terms but I think talking about the vision and maybe it's because it's coming up to recess but I think Bruce Crawford walked us through the city or the city of Stirling and Clifmaninshire region so lots of good things going on there and great potential so it's given us all an idea about how we can promote our own areas but I thought Bruce Crawford's contribution was very very very much chatter going on can we have a bit more politeness please thank you Ms Lennon and I think James Kelly in his opening remarks talked about the potential in the Glasgow and Clyde valley region deal to unlock £3.3 billion of private investment which is vast sums of money but James Kelly also said it's not just about an accounting exercise he rightly talked about having the proper methodology around project selection because we've heard from a number of members in the chamber that robust and transparent appraisal of projects is really important we also heard lots of good contributions I think from Kenneth Gibson and also Brian Whittle maybe coming from slightly different positions but in terms of a growth deal for Ayrshire both making passionate contributions Mike Rumbles I can't miss out Mike Rumbles who I think said it was the Lib Dems who spearheaded city region deals when they were in government so I'm not in a position to argue against that so we'll leave that one there but Mike Rumbles did say that city deals are a vehicle to look at maximising opportunities for the long term not just looking at us at a list of projects in the short term and also to strengthen local decision making and local institutions David Stewart made I think some really excellent points about making sure that we're seeing genuine new investment and we're not just seeing displacement of jobs into other regions and Claire Baker also cautioned against the Edinburgh deal making sure it's not weighted towards the city and I think Jenny Gilruth would probably have agreed with that in her comments so I think there's been quite a lively discussion people are very passionate about the potential in their local areas and it's certainly given the committee some reassurance that our work in our time was well spent Presiding Officer I would say that the committee is disappointed that we haven't yet had a reply from the Scotland Offence Tour report it would have been good to have that before the debate today but I understand a response as expected by the end of the week something we can perhaps mull over during recess City region deals are partnerships between the two Governments as well as with local authorities so it is important we hear what the Scottish Government or the sort of the UK Government thinks about our committee's findings it's very important some of our recommendations around what are the prime objectives of the deals how they should be governed how to extend the deals to other parts of Scotland needs to sustain close working of the two Governments and drawn to conclusion Presiding Officer City region deals and individual projects are a very important part of our efforts to stimulate inclusive growth in all parts of Scotland the local government and community's committee's report was a serious attempt to improve how the deals are put together and managed and I think Bruce Crawford made a good point when he said that there's been a maturing as relationships have developed we've heard it this will not be the last time that we need to look at city region deals as a Parliament indeed the most advanced deal in Glasgow and the Clyde valley is set for what is called a gateway review on 2019 so that'll be another important moment to take stock of what's been achieved there and we welcome the work that's underway by Audit Scotland and that is a further opportunity for parliamentary scrutiny Presiding Officer I thank again my fellow members of the committee our research engagement and clerking teams and all the members who took part in today's important debate thank you thank you very much and that concludes the debate on city regions deal or no deal and it's time to move on to the next item of business and there is one question to be put as a result of today's business the question is that motion 11230 in the name of Bob Doris on city regions deal or no deal be agreed are we all agreed we are agreed so that concludes decision time we'll move on now to members business in the name of Rona Mackay on cancer awareness for young people and we'll take a few moments for members and ministers to change seats
