That is a three hundred and fifty dollar stuffed animal right there Hey, Bolo buddies. Thanks for watching. All right, you guys in this video. We're gonna talk about big money plush also known as Stuffed animals. Yes stuffed animals. Did you know that some stuffed animals go for hundreds of dollars? Well, let's talk about some big money Bolo's that members of my Bolo buddies Facebook group found at thrift stores the state sales Garage sales different places like that and flipped for a profit So basically I put this in my Facebook group and I invite everybody in the group to share their big money plush Bolo, so if you have a Bolo, you would like to share come over to the Facebook group to the featured Announcement section and look for the sharepost. So the first one here is I was looking I actually Could not pronounce this word. So I said it like 50 times and decided that I better start the video over And I still I'm not sure how to say it, but I think they are vintage and a maniacs I'm probably saying that wrong Waco Yaco dot plush lot of three dakin Warner Brothers good condition. These are stuffed animals They are plush. She picked these up at the Goodwill for three dollars and they took about a week to sell for 49.99 on eBay The next item look at this old cow. It is a vintage blue cow plush 11-inch character novelty company 1950s stuffed animal and it they used the keyword kitschy and I think that probably helped sell this item I Paid a couple bucks for this little guy at an estate sale It took a while to sell but he was so neat that I wanted to hold out for the right buyer I feel like cows don't come around that often as plush and She did not put what it actually sold for But it looks like she took a best offer. It was listed at 65 So I'm guessing she was probably in the $50 range if I had to guess and this one comes from Jodi Toyatic and she is also on YouTube Definitely check her out. She is a Bolo finder and she knows a lot about toys. So you will definitely learn a lot from her The next item is this vintage Tyco kitty kitty kitten purring stuffed plush Split beige white 1992 stuffed animal and the pictures are not popping up. Come on Hmm There it is. Anyway, it says I got this from my local Goodwill outlet the same day as my other Bolo I paid about ten cents for this item. I listed it on Etsy as well as some other sites But for God, I had it on there I was surprised to see it sold for the full asking price of $90 After only a month that looks like $89.99 roundup This is definitely a brand of Bolo for my shop name is full circle Phoenix So I believe the Tyco kitty kitty kittens are okay to sell and the other brand is the one that had the recall We talked about that in the other Somebody said it was a voluntary recall So I'm not really sure all the details on that but definitely look into it But these are a Bolo The next one is this koala baby curly chenille lamb stuffed animal white pink bow plastic eyes it says I found this lamb at My local Goodwill outlet I couldn't find any info online about it So I decided to grab it anyway since it only cost about 50 cents turns out It's an incredibly rare plush that moms are hunting for I took a shot in the dark and listed it for 90 It took a few weeks to sell for full price of $90 on Poshmark and this one comes from lavender ashes So here is the little tush tag always put that and It is koala baby. So yeah, if it's a hard to find plush and a Parent is looking for it for their child and it is chenille. So it's probably super super soft All right, the next item is mine This one came from I don't know if you guys remember my friend gave me a bag of plush from her childhood And this was one of the plush that was in the bag and you guys can see that full video on my channel but I just thought this was super cute and a good thing to put in the title for Bunnies is the word Easter if you have room This was a plush that was given to me from a friend free to me sold for sale price of $62 and it is a standing plush and it's holding this little lamb. Is that not adorable? All right, this one is a gunned Easter Excuse me gunned Easter Bunny small and Look at it. It's got the original tag I would have put the word realistic in the title.

omes to fruition and communicates that with commission staff questions for director griffin on this grant chelsea revere collaboration uh can i ask how uh how that condition will actually be implemented will they get the full funding or just partial release of funds um the funding is um for the development of the curricula um we want to just ensure that um it doesn't sit on a shelf somewhere they they have provided us information with community partners that they hope to um hope will implement the grant so i think a meeting with staff um with further development um and information about conversations and that sort of thing should be sufficient yeah we will put actually a condition in the grant document that that will require them to to meet with us along the way and submit information to us to just to again as jill so we just want to make sure that that this really gets implemented and um you know they did identify a bunch of groups that they want to work with and so on but you know they are not there yet until they start developing this and working with those folks we just again just want to make sure that it doesn't sit on a shelf somewhere and you know with respect to funding we we generally give out the money sort of three tranches we give them 25 up front to start the development and once that's spent we give them 50 and then we sort of hold the last 25 percent until we get our final deliverables so it's sort of at that point where we would um you know through the process we would follow up on that but that's where we would sort of have our ultimate uh hammer to to make sure that that gets done is the is the final funding right that was really helpful jill for me to understand and then the other the other point is that this is a community planning grant so this is coming from a different a different bucket it just happens we work force to and we don't have to be concerned about the fact because we are doing this a little bit differently this year right we're doing it over series we don't have to worry about the fact that we're now you know possibly going to do a $97,000 grant and have others because I understand there's a surplus for dollars in any case yeah the community under community planning we have we have sufficient funds within that category to fund the projects that have come in so again it doesn't I mean look if we were oversubscribed by 100% we probably wouldn't be able to do it this way but I see yeah but the case is that we're not so so we can yeah okay so we understand that that's because of just this particular situation this year all right any questions for the questions about the collaboration do I have a motion commision Simca yeah thank you um manager I moved that the commission approved the award of our community planning grant in the amount of $97,500 to the city of Chelsea and Revere to the cities of Chelsea and Revere for curriculum development of contextualized English for speakers of other language programs and adult digital literacy classes subject to the condition that the applicant work with work to strengthen the application plan as described in the memo including the commissioners packet and as discussed here today and I further moved that the commission staff be authorized to execute a grant instrument while memorating the award in accordance with 205 CMR 153.0 second thank you now for the discussion commissioner Cameron hi commissioner brian hi mr. Zinnicka hi and I vote yes pro-zero thank you now thank you um uh director griffin and and crystal howard and uh chief delaney anything further at this time um I think just you know we will we will continue to follow up you know on on the extra 50 000 with the applicants and see if they're they're interested in that and we'll you know certainly come back if that is the case really helpful thanks uh I think that will all feel comfortable with that process thanks so much joe thank you thank you and then we're looking forward to the next our next meeting where you'll be doing another uh good good number of applications on public safety if I remember correct yeah we look it looks like we're going to have at least seven and possibly eight for that meeting yeah so for time keeping care and that's important all righty um now we're back to racing again um dr lightbound good afternoon today I'm joined with Mindy Coleman counsel for the jockey guild and we're here to discuss national law chapter 128 a section 5 h4 which talks about how um monies that come from the betting handle license fees daily assessment things like that are to be distributed so this is not money that comes from the racehorse development fund under 23k section 60 just to make sure that everybody's aware that there's that this is where the money's coming from um to paraphrase it it talks about 65 000 going to the group representing the majority of jockeys or health and welfare benefits at the february 25th meeting the commission decided um that the jockey guild was the group representing the jockeys and they directed uh council Coleman and I to um go back and look at the qualifications um in light of there being no racing at suffolk downs last year and the decrease in number of race days um in previous years uh we looked at the um different there's three different categories of jockeys that are included in this um one is active the other is disabled and the other is retired so looking at the um trying to determine qualifications for the active jockeys we weren't able to determine them um due to the lack of racing last year and the decrease so we went on and looked at um the qualifications for disabled jockeys and felt that no changes need to be made to this category so the qualifications that are in your packet are the same as the pack as the qualifications that have been in place um looking at the qualifications for retired jockeys it was felt that some decreases in the number of mounts were required to reflect the decreased amount of availability of racing um the possibilities um since there were less opportunity to race um doing a rough estimate um miss Coleman figured that about uh 17 jockeys would qualify under these two categories and um just attributing the 65 thousand among them would mean that they would each get approximately three thousand eight hundred and twenty three dollars um i don't have any objections to these qualifications and i do want to thank the jockey guild and mendy for their work on this um there they put considerable time and effort into trying to determine what would be there and um if your commission has any questions um we're both uh here for questions good afternoon mendy thank you for your good work with dr lightbound nice to see you again uh commissioners commissioners do you have questions or comments commissioner cameron do you want to lead sure i did have um an opportunity to discuss this matter before this meeting so i did um have a thorough understanding of why the decisions were made the way they are and i'm in agreement but i didn't know if attorney Coleman had anything to add about um not being able to determine current racers there is no racing in massachusetts that's the point that struck out to me i stuck out rather and um and i certainly agree with the left's mounts because of the current situation but is there anything that you could add to that attorney i do think uh thank you thank you for giving me the opportunity and for reviewing this uh matter with us the retired jockeys as uh executive lightbound had dr lightbound had pointed out that was because over the last period of time it's decreased even though what we had had originally um as far as the actives we had tried to go back and see if there were individuals who still had their permanent residents in massachusetts and when we had done so that number had even decreased and i think they've been forced to move out and move to other areas and relocate because of racing um but the importance of keeping this money is for the retired and or permanently disabled and the reason i reiterate that is these individuals expect the individuals that were permanently disabled they were disabled at massachusetts racetracks during massachusetts racing um and then the retired members these are individuals even with the numbers and the reduction of numbers that have still contributed or participated a significant number or a significant portion of their life has been in massachusetts racing they were major factors in massachusetts racing for many many years so i think it's important that we do what we can to assist those individuals and continue to assist those individuals because they they've kind of relied on some of this money um and again the three thousand eight hundred and twenty three dollars is uh pro-rata share of the full sixty five thousand the guild does not take any of that money for anybody else that goes back to these seventeen individuals that we have that would qualify based under these presented qualifications thank you that's really helpful and it gives um the the detail work that dr. Leipman mentioned that you have done is is really clear now so that's really helpful and thank you for the work thank you commissioner Zunica any comments or questions no really um really helpful as well from the comments and from the materials and the briefing beforehand i'm on board with this with this plan um i know perhaps that there's a technical question as to whether we need to approve this given that we have not been uh we have not approved plans like this in the past but um i'm happy to learn that this is what's being done and um and uh hear miss colman outline on those um those plans so bryan with your cat hi mango yeah who's not letting go um i'm down and he's dug in um just to reiterate what um commissioner to camera and Zunica said i benefited from the the materials and from the discussion work um with dr. Leipman and i do i appreciate the work and the thoughtfulness that went into parsing all of these categories out and i'm satisfied with what's been put before us and i thank you for your work attorney colman i know it was a lot of um menu should have go through but i think it was necessary i think it was a good effort i appreciate you sharing your cat with us on this yeah he's always nice oh work here i'm very familiar with him every once in a while he chimes in um so you know he tried jumping on the table and couldn't quite make it he misjudged so he's a little reassurance right now yeah um mendy uh attorney colman thanks thank you again for uh the detailed work and and as everybody has said we we have the benefit of meeting with dr. Leipman and i'm actually met also with with todd and um you know uh karen on this matter looking through the statute i i believe that we've concluded that uh but the commission does not um need to act formally on this matter um we do have dr. Leipman's um good judgment here that she has indicated no no concerns and raises no objections to the um the outcome of the collaboration here so um with that just to recap the sixty five thousand dollars by statute will be released through um derrick correct karen are you all set i think the next step alex if you could just after the meeting send an email to derrick confirming that this is all set to go the commission had voted upon the prior occasion on their statutory obligations on the designation so we're good to go to release the money yeah so sounds good good so we're all set administratively um again counts counselor colman thank you so much and dr. Leipman thank you glad that we we've been able to to take care of that piece of work thank you so much for this i know that these jockeys would greatly appreciate it yeah thank you thank you so much okay then moving on to item number seven um second director wells you've got an update for us yes so uh as the commission is aware we've had conversations we've had an uh ongoing on internal audit and compliance working group uh we discussed at one of the last meetings that it would be a good idea to do a quarterly update whether at the full commission on what's been going on at those meetings and the sort of the objectives for the year ahead so at the beginning of this calendar year i did identify objectives for this group for the different quarters so i'm breaking this calendar into quarters and for q1 uh the objective at the beginning of the quarter was to compile a risk matrix and initiate the casino audit review so those objectives have been uh worked on this quarter we had meetings in january february and march and working on those the casino audit review has been done for the last calendar year and for as far as the activities at the internal audit and compliance group first of all we did the review and evaluation of the cy 2020 risk matrix so last year so the whole group got to have some input on what those items were and some feedback for updates and changes uh so that team input is helpful uh i will note it's a lot to do in that larger group setting and um derrick and rike did advise that the last time they had to finalize it individually so i'm learning i'm going to need to have a smaller group to finalize that just to put that in the right format finalize it and do any last-minute edits that will be part of the internal control plan that we're required to do so that's as part of the q2 activities we'll be doing the internal control plan and we'll attach that risk matrix the other thing we did is the we did a review of the 2019 casino audit findings and management letters so those of the e-belly audits that are done uh through that team and some support by our financial investigations division and our finance division so those have been completed and finalized and i have signed off on those and then the other thing that we've been doing which i think is is new and been really interesting and helpful is we're working on this internal program on our internal compliance calendar so the finance division led by our cfo Derek Lenin his methodology which he's used is over time building a compliance calendar for his his group internally so these are things that his team is required to do and it's a mechanism to check that internally we're doing what we're supposed to be doing so Derek led a presentation to the internal audit and compliance working group on how they do their calendar how it developed and that and that process that was very well received and then uh see if a limit also got the rest of the division heads together so they could um participate in that program as well so uh they did that in january and then you know building that system to check that we are accountable for doing what we're supposed to be doing that may look different from division to division you know it's a little easier in the finance group different groups it's potentially going to look different so um we had um the i e b had the financial investigations division you saw monica earlier today and uh paul eldridge helped with that he is on that he is in that working group as as this monica so they came in in march and did sort of a presentation it was more focused on their risk analysis which is the basis for this uh compliance calendar look so what are the risks what are we doing to make sure that we are accountable for what we're supposed to be doing so uh the plan is we'll go through the different divisions uh through the calendar year and teams will be able to come in and take a you know uh present what their thoughts are and how they uh account for their compliance their internal internal compliance and then this group is you know it's a it's a comfort zone it's a safety zone where you can come and talk about a known judgment just let's talk about ways to make sure that you're tracking what you're supposed to be tracking in your individual divisions and the approach is one of support and health and team thinking and collaboration on those so the next one up in april is uh joe delayney's going to bring in information from the community fairs division and we'll take a look at that so that's you know just a general update on what we've been doing next quarter you will be looking at uh aside from these ongoing compliance calendar reviews we'll be looking at finalization of the icp and the icq and then looking at the casino audit review for 2020 so those are some of the activities i am most uh interested in um just feedback from any commissioner i know i had commissioner bryan and commissioners uniga obviously have more of an understanding because they're part of this team but for the chair and for christina cameron i'm definitely open to any ideas or any suggestions as we build sort of a robust internal compliance plan for the team so uh that's just a snapshot of where we are i thought it would be helpful every quarter to just give you an update and you can see the cadence of what we're doing and why we're doing it um and available for questions and also commissioners uniga or commissioner bryan want to comment on what we're doing or their thoughts or their um you know their direction for what we're doing going forward i'm definitely interested in that as well questions for for caron oh come on compliance guys you've got to have questions well i know that commissioner bryan and commissioners uniga are part of the working group so they are well versed in it so commissioner bryan i know how uh you're nodding your head commissioner caron you're probably quite satisfied and i also love the approach um as i do i'm very organized structured um inclusive approach so i have no questions and just excellent work thank you yeah and i think it's really important as you described to make sure everybody feels you know that they this is the the spot where they can feel safe and discuss the the challenges of compliance and and assess risk you know i think one one thing i just would continue to reiterate no one should be ever afraid to raise a concern if they need more resources or they can't tackle something and you know open open dialogue that's as a team no judgment as you say caron i thought that was an excellent point um the only thing on the uh icp and icq i think those are june deadlines so those are due at the end of june so the plan is to do the initial review at the april meeting um and then uh another review before the end of june and uh derrick glennon and i will be working on that independently as well probably with some assistance from commissioners and commissioner bryan just so yeah so yeah and in the past i had had reviewed in advance i really think of a great practice is to to get um the close to final draft right out and distribute it in advance to every every you know the key your key managers and directors and and i would think our fellow commissioners so if that's possible in your timeline that would be great just in case you know some things amiss so but i think this is i really appreciate the update in your and and your giving the entire team um kind of an understanding of of the process and the work you're doing so thanks and i appreciate being part of the the queue so thanks moving on to our next item is the commissioners update it could i be a standalone um real high level first i want to explain that in the packet uh we do have miller and shevallier's we're playing for phase three of the independent compliance monitors work alahandra montan may grow amante uh the document does say it may contain sensitive information not subject to public disclosure i can assure everyone that we received affirmative guidance from the independent monitor saying that this in fact was proper to be released unredacted so you'll see no redactions this is a high level work plan we had asked uh commissioner o'brien and i really have only met you know occasionally right before the monitor was expected to give an update to the commission on a whole just to give that team guidance about working with a public body like ours we met with um general counsel grossman um with uh the independent monitor to just talk about the plan for the next year and um she agreed to give a high level plan on this particular phase uh and that as you'll see um and does have the approach laid out in the document that's part of our packet that they would continue to expect to receive documents from the company they'll continue to review the appropriate and relevant documents they'll continue to review the company's implementation of the extensive recommendations that you've seen in the past um many of which are companies meeting and some which uh because of COVID they still had some work to do and then there were some new recommendations and then third they'll continue to evaluate or update matters that relate to the um HR compliance plan including the uh areas that you saw in the baseline assessment plan and then in the document um the fourth part of the plan does highlight um continued work more on the interview side and testing side it's a high level plan that that she um has come up with and of course at the end there'll be any additional recommendations that the monitor thinks are necessary to really achieve what was part of our decision back in um in April of 2019 uh our approach has been that we would not um interfere with the judgment of the independent monitor that it's important to be differential to the plan with that said we do monitor the bills and invoices and and we we keep track of that but the thought would be able to restrict to this piece and then I'll turn it over to Commissioner Bryan on the schedule that you know we wouldn't seek any kind of a formal approval uh but that this does I did confirm with uh Councillor Grossman that this does align with the original contract that we entered into with the um independent monitor so before um I just want to check in with Todd at the end to make sure that I'm not missing something but Commissioner O'Brien if you'd like to go over the schedule or add anything that you think should be highlighted on the plan itself no I mean I think if you look at what's set out for the tentative schedule it's pretty self-explanatory if you go into some of the details and what they expect to do there's a little bit of more board heavy focus in terms of questions and processes and onboarding and that thing which is something if you go back and look they haven't done the deeper dive they said they were going to do on yet so that makes sense it's all consistent with the initial work plan so the expectation obviously being that we would get an interim report at the end of the summer and then sort of the final submission of something more comprehensive and final in the first year in 2022 right but that deeper deeper dive we thought it might be helpful to have the interim be a little bit of a higher level right more a power point rather than a full long report right so that's the schedule you'll see this process is underway already as of February and then a January date so we'll want to think about for September start putting that into our agenda setting counselor Todd do you have anything you want to add that we may have skipped over on this not at all I think you've covered it well I and I think this is all unfolding as contemplated in the RFR and contract process questions comments all set and if you do have any questions or comments obviously I'm available but Todd's also available we we do whenever there's an invoice the processes I do check in with Commissioner O'Brien to see if she has any concerns and Todd and then Derek and his team process those reimbursement from the company okay or direct payment now I think actually all right then that's the first of commissioner updates do we have any other commissioner updates commissioner camera madam chair I don't have an update but I would just love to give a shout out to the gaming agents in a newsletter which was forwarded to us yesterday I really enjoyed reading about the first woman to serve as CEO of a casino so I give them credit for doing that research and getting that out at honor of women's history months so just a shout out good work great read wasn't it excellent yeah and and and just also a nice follow-up from town hall where we had the two very experienced gaming agents give such a great presentation in light of their roles as they wouldn't they were careful they were not as self-complementary as I would have thought they would be because they didn't necessarily view themselves as pioneers but I think we can safely say they look they are pioneers in the gaming the gaming world and collectively brought together I think about 50 years of experience so very very nice nicely done commissioner Zuniga do you have any update that you want to provide no not update but perhaps a comment during since our last meeting I know the staff forwarded a letter to senator lezard's office relative to the bill that was drafted that they have out there I would welcome in the future the opportunity to view preview a draft and provide feedback as as I know we've done in the past for example with annual report I think I think I should say first by the way that it's great it's a great letter it's a great document that outlines a lot of the stuff that's included in the gaming act relative to some of the areas where the bill that bill could be strengthened but but again I I would think that it would be a good practice to have all of us come in and have a high level view of the of the final draft before we it went out and I hope that we could do that in the in the future thank you any other um commissioner updates okay all right um thank you so firing any other comments and we just would have to have a um a motion to adjourn on this beautiful day move to adjourn thank you thank you commissioner Zuniga all right um commissioner Cameron aye commissioner Brian aye commissioner Zuniga aye and I vote yes great meeting today we covered a lot of areas appreciate everybody's input four zero Vivian thank you for your work thank you counselor Grossman for all of your work and thank you Austin thank you thank you thank you


Item Number – SCP-041 Object Class – Safe Special Containment Procedures – SCP-041 is to be hospitalized at Bioresearch Area 12. Though not Ketter class, should SCP-041's abilities ever propagate beyond a reasonably containable area, the risk of SCP-sensitive information being broadcast to the public remains too great a risk and warrants area level isolation away from the general populace. SCP personnel wanting to keep their thoughts private are advised to remain outside of a 15 meter radius from SCP-041 beyond the designated red circle on the floor. It is beneficial to the mental health of SCP-041 to have a sitter in the room who watches television and concentrates on its programming. This allows SCP-041 to effectively watch television through the mind of someone else. The optimal sitter is a class D personnel with below average intelligence whose mind does not wander or have more than one train of thought at a time. Though not mind control, SCP-041 has used its abilities to coerce sitters into watching programming that they don't themselves enjoy. SCP-041's tastes vary between gore and slasher films, having even expressed interest in snuff and children's programming. Description SCP-041 is a male human suffering from irreversible damage to his central nervous system, which is believed to have been caused by an infection of a rare strain of bacterial meningitis. Although antibiotics were successful in clearing the infection, the membranes surrounding his brain and spinal cord had reacted to the infection by severing many neurons connecting the central nervous system to the rest of the body. SCP-041 must rely on a respirator to sustain his breathing, a biventricular pacemaker to keep his heart beating, and a nasal gastric tube to provide nutrition. Visually, SCP-041 appears to be in a persistent vegetative state. However, observers in the presence of SCP-041 begin to realize that their thoughts, along with everyone else's in about a 10 meter radius from SCP-041, are broadcast in a semi-audible fashion. Aside from being the source, SCP-041 is also capable of broadcasting his own thoughts to those present. Anyone forming an idea using words will have those thoughts unwillingly transmitted to others in this range as mind-audible speech, which cannot be recorded by any known equipment. Mind-audible speech may be heard using whatever voice a subject chooses to think with. Most typically, this is the subject's normal voice. Both thoughts and images are broadcast as well, but are not received as readily. Images are most effectively transmitted when both the sender and receiver have their eyes closed. The sender concentrates on a single object without environment or background, and the receiver's mind is clear of conscious thoughts. Communication between subjects using visual images, particularly those not rooted in memory but in imagination, is usually difficult. The sender typically has trouble conceiving a highly detailed mental object from a single point of view, while the receiver will often try to fill in gaps of missing information, ultimately resulting in the receiver seeing a different image from what was sent. The most difficult imagery to be successfully broadcast appears to be a person's face, particularly if the image is one of a person in motion. Although able to transmit his thoughts to others, SCP-041 is not very talkative. Attempts to persuade SCP-041 to divulge any information about his abilities have been so far fruitless. SCP-041 is typically silent and normally will not respond to any direct attempts at communication. However, SCP-041 appears to have a sense of humor as he interjects occasional comments into conversations of others. Addendum 01 While researcher was taking voice notes using a digital audio recorder, a fellow researcher was changing the television in SCP-041's room. While the television was on a channel of static, disembodied voices could be heard filtered through the white noise. Attempts to record mind-audible speech with white noise generators and sound recording equipment have begun to yield modest results, though most audio is garbled and recorded sounds may or may not be voices and are widely left toward individual interpretations. Addendum 02 It has come to my attention that several personnel have used SCP-041 as an ad hoc, she likes me, she likes me not, detector. This is one of the most appalling things I've ever heard. Are we safeguarding potentially world-destroying objects or are we in third grade? Dr.  It was this little girl's voice singing some kids song. It wasn't the TV and it definitely wasn't a radio. It was in our heads, you know?  And then this voice comes into my head, hey, it's not me, I don't know that tune. And then all Kent looks at me, gone all white in the face, you know? Note, this event occurred after SCP-239 was placed in a chemically induced coma. Any connection between the two SCPs is currently unconfirmed. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-040, Evolution's Child, Now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


good morning everybody welcome to another vlog this is what we're currently working with at the moment it's probably hard to tell but um i just i'm in need of a glow up things are just not good in the old brain at the moment that has kind of resulted in me avoiding responsibilities not drinking enough water not taking care of my body laying and rotting on the couch over consuming social media etc and sometimes when i take care of myself from the outside i feel better on the inside so we're gonna you know work on that today we have a very busy day if you can hear construction in the background i'm so sorry it's literally when one construction site ends like directly next to my house another one begins it's fine but yeah here is what we're working with but before we get into the the glow up and just kind of getting my life together um we did have our friends over the other night for the tokyo vice finale and i got a couple clips from that so i'll show you okay it's like 10 p.m because um we have already finished our show our friends just left to go home but the tokyo vice season perhaps series it's not a hundred percent sure yet finale was so good this show is incredible and has become like one of my favorite shows all of the actors were amazing everything was so satisfying like i think it's so rare for a season to wrap up and for it to feel like okay i'm satisfied with all of this i feel like everybody got what you wanted them to get you know one way or the other and it was i cannot recommend this show enough if you have a hbo max it is so entertaining it's so good it's like loosely based on a true story we were sitting here with our friends screaming like literally screaming it was so good i can't even begin to tell you how good this show is so if you do one thing if you're interested in anything related to japan at all whatsoever watch this show it's phenomenal the cast is incredible the writing is really good i have fallen in love with all of the characters well not all of them but most of them and they're incredible you have to watch it it's so good i'm so happy i'm going to bed now because it's like 10 p.m on a sunday night but wow wow that was incredible so okay back to present day back to this morning this is this is where we're at it's honestly not bad but there's just things like you know um there's just things that need attention so first things first we're gonna jump in the shower i wish i could work out i am two weeks out from my brow appointment it has officially been two weeks today and they look fantastic but they're still healing i don't know if it's because i'm anemic and it takes a little bit longer for that but either way i'm gonna take just a couple more days before i exercise because i really don't want to mess up the healing process and the pigment but i gotta wash my hair i want to fake tan i want to put on my cute little diy lash extensions i want to put on a cute outfit and i want to film some videos and feel like i'm ahead because that's when i always feel the best and obviously this just can't go on any longer it just simply can't so let's jump in the shower i'll do everyone a favor jump scare shower i feel so much better already i don't know what it is but when i'm having bad mental health days or just i'm not feeling 100 myself i like don't want to shower i don't really want to take care of myself and i mean i took a shower late last night like a body shower but i needed to do like all of it you know wash my hair shave scrub all of the above so that feels good i'm gonna put on some makeup um this is like one of the first times i'm actually putting on makeup since getting my brows done they're not fully fully healed yet like i said it is the two week mark but i'm just being careful i'm just being careful after i got on the shower i did a quick fake tan i did a self tan that i don't recommend honestly so don't buy that um i bought it based off of a recommendation and not great but that's all i have right now i'm waiting on some other ones to come in so i did that one um i also did this teeth whitening strip thing for the first time i really wanted to get my teeth professionally whitened but i heard horror stories about it so i'm gonna just try like that home thing and i don't have any final reviews on this yet because it was literally my first time using it but we will see how it goes so i used those i'm gonna try to use those every day for the next two weeks and see what happens i have sensitive teeth like extremely sensitive teeth so i will definitely let you know how that goes so now i'm just going to finish up my makeup put on my little diy at home lash extensions which these are the ones that i use by the way these are by flutter habit and they're called the sweet heart i also use their glue and it works great so it's called made for this uh one of my friends recommended one of my friends from back home in arizona recommended this to me like a year ago and i just like doing this because it literally takes me five minutes i do it once a week like they last the entire week i wash my face as normal do my makeup as normal and it's just nice to do it once and then have them last two weeks so i usually do that on like sunday nights mondays or occasionally if i need to like redo them if one goes wonky or whatever so let me put on like the rest of my eye makeup really quick and then i'll show you how i apply them i think i've shown it in a video before but that was a while ago and just in case anyone's curious all right so here is the exact process that i do i start out this isn't necessary i just like have it for extra hold this is the lashify bonded with charco flex uh lash glue and you actually put this on your lashes but i just put it at the very very base of my lashes i don't like run it through like i would a mascara so i literally just touch it like this because the lashes go at the base of your lash line underneath your top lash line if that makes sense so i just put that on wait for it to get tacky and then it's just kind of like an extra layer of glue and protection and i don't know if this helps hold it on longer but for me it's tackier than the other glue so it just helps with application and then i take my little tweezer thingies these are by lashify as well you don't need these these are incredibly expensive but i wear them like every week so it's just convenient it's just nice to have because they just go right into the shape of your lash line you know so i've already applied glue to the top of the lash and then i literally just pop it underneath but of course now that i'm filming it it's probably gonna mess up but here's what i do ready i don't know if you can see that and also my red dot on my eyes getting so much lighter thank god so what i do is i just place it underneath that's literally it then i just take the thing i flip it the other way and i just squeeze my lashes together with the false lash and like fuse them and that's it that's literally it i do it three times on each side and boom we're done so i'll show you with the next one i just peel it off of the little thingy and that's literally it boom i also wipe off the tweezers in between because they're just like blue on it and stuff and with trial and error like you've got to figure out the positioning that you like it in because sometimes it can be like a little bit too close to your eyeball and it can get a little pokey so you may need to just like move it around but basically i'm gonna do my third one and that's it for this eye you know i have these lashes on the entire week and there is the difference between the eye with the lashes and the eye with help so i think it looks nice it's not for everyone but i really like it and it's a hell of a lot cheaper and faster than eyelash extensions whoa all right i'm gonna do the other eye then i'm gonna give myself a nice little blowout and then our glow up will be complete all right got myself ready i am definitely feeling better there's just you know i'm not gonna complain about my neighbors and like the noise and stuff but there's just like there's been a lot going on lately behind the scenes and it's just it's really weighing on me and drew like it's it's starting to get pretty bad and it's i think it's also just because we've had a bad neighbor situation in the past that it's just kind of coming back up again and um i'm definitely sensitive to noise so and now drew is as well people just don't have common courtesy they really don't so anyways it's all good um but i am feeling a little bit better just like physically um so that's good i'm going to film a couple of videos and then film like a fun little bit for a main channel video that includes food so i'm very excited about that i'm gonna try like a viral recipe all right we got one video down we have like one and a half to go i have a company that i've been wanting to try for a long time that makes products that have built in bras which like that sounds like the best thing in the entire world so that'll be up soon i'm gonna film that i might have a little snack first then i'm gonna make lunch then i'm gonna film one more little thing for another video and then it's editing for the rest of the day i already feel better after filming and just getting back into my routine getting out of my head you know sometimes you just gotta get out of your own head and that's definitely something that i struggle with i spiral we'll chat about it afterwards because i've been really just like with the housing market and the rental market and just everything i've been kind of spiraling lately which i know a lot of you are relating to as well so we will chat about that but in the meantime i'm gonna make a snack we're gonna knock out this other video and then we're gonna make some lunch all right just got done filming a main channel video here's a sneak peek but it is so good from the middle it's the best part the gooey bit the cardboard is hot just smile you start chewing anywhere so good all right it's a little while later and i am just sorting through footage that i filmed today and oh my god my leg is so tan because i don't normally self tan like during the day i do it at night before i go to bed and then wash it off but it looks crazy anyways i'm gathering and sorting all the footage that i filmed today because i did some vlog stuff i filmed some main channel stuff on this camera so i'm just like separating it in all the folders that it needs to go in but yeah part of the thing that has been kind of not stressing drew an eye out but just something that we've been thinking about a lot is now that it's april we have like a month until our lease is up and we're just trying to figure out what it is that we want to do because not only is our apartment here insanely expensive but it's gonna get more expensive the rent is going to be raised like a lot to a point that it's just ridiculous and also there's just a lot of stuff like there's just constant construction it's really busy it's really loud so there's just like other cons um these are things that we could live with but it's just things that we think about so we've got to figure that out this weekend we're gonna go look at a few more places and like actually seriously start to look um just because you know i've occasionally have viewed places drew and i have occasionally viewed places but we need to get a little more serious about it to sort of see what we can get and what's out there and all that kind of stuff and i love watching like apartment hunting vlogs so there will definitely be some of those whether or not we move but the housing market and just the rental market in general is insane it's insane sometimes i feel like i should be buying a house like it's something i should be doing instead of like something i really want to do and i do have the desire to do it for sure i think this is probably pretty common for people in their 30s and even people in their 20s people of all ages honestly but the interest rates are insane if we bought drew's mom's house that she currently lives in which we almost did a couple of years ago it didn't end up working out but if we bought her house that she lives in right now we'd be paying three times her mortgage for the same house that's with putting 20 percent down i have i know someone who was looking to buy a place in LA and it was 1.5 million dollars because that's a normal price to buy like a condo and with their down payment which was like 25 percent of the house price their mortgage was going to be $10,000 a month like i'm laughing so i don't cry because it's absolutely unhinged what the actual fuck if you have i get a lot of comments that are like i live in xyz and i have a mortgage of $500 a month and i have a lot of land and i'm so happy for you genuinely like enjoy that soak it up love it that's just not the reality and you know we're our families are in arizona and we love being in california we love being so close by we love being close to our friends and anyway it's just one of those things where it is so sorry my chair is squeaking she's she's squeaky lady it's just so crazy like my childhood home that my parents lived in together i'd be paying over five times what my parents paid for that mortgage if i bought that house today but yeah i'm just blabbing for no reason it's just it's like wow it's just a lot it's a lot at the moment how are people buying houses these days i don't understand if only i were um not an infant in 1987 and i could have just been buying property instead i'd be much better off one of my favorite ways to torture myself i talked about this on instagram stories is when i go to these estate sales that i go to in LA and look at how much they paid for their house in like the 70s and then how much it would cost if i bought it now um it'll really send you down a downward spiral oh my god it's like oh it was 70 000 back then try again it's freaking four million okay that's enough this is something that drew and i talk about regularly like just how insane it is i'm like how are people affording houses i don't understand obviously they live in other places and like they have down payments and stuff like that but with these interest rates forget it i'd be paying triple what i pay and rent so looks like we're renting for the time being but anyway i'm gonna do a little bit of editing and then we will catch up later it's the next day and i've been doing a little bit of walking on my walking pad and i took a break because i got this delivery from Sephora because it's the Sephora sale that's currently happening as i'm filming this and i'm so excited i only got essentials these are actually like just i'm pretty sure all refills of things i already had except i might have gotten one new thing so i thought i would show you what i got at the Sephora sale because i don't know i don't know if i've ever shopped the Sephora sale before maybe i have i don't recall but um the first thing i got is another one of these day three in one cactus fruit three in one styling cream this is what i used to do there with my slicked back hairstyles and i got support fellow arizona girly this stuff smells unbelievable it smells so heavenly it's great for like anti-frizz as well if you don't do like slicked back hairstyles i literally almost went like this wish you could smell it it's such a staple i love their products really really good stuff they're vegan and vegetarian cruelty free with no s l s s leah's parabens phthalates synthetic colors etc yeah i love that what else i got a refill or a replacement what do you call it like i i got another one of the cosis revealer concealer because the stuff is amazing i got a little bit of a darker shade this time like last time i got like one point something and this is 2.3 it is like the creamiest nicest concealer i guess i can put it on like one of my blemishes or something so you can see i hope this is the right color i don't know but it just blends so effortlessly it's beautiful there you have it i mean i can only see on the viewfinder so i don't know if that's perfect but love this stuff i also got the full size of the charlotte tilbury pillow talk lip duo because i have the travel size drew by it for me for christmas like i don't know a year or so but i decided to treat myself to the full size because it is truly my everyday lip combo it's expensive but it is worth it so here is the pillow talk lip liner it's like a kind of mauvey pink color and then here is the pillow talk lipstick so freaking pretty there we have it oh it smells so good it has like a slight hint of vanilla and so i'm going to put this full size one in my bathroom where i get ready and then i'm going to keep the travel size one in my purse for like when i'm on the go because i still have a little bit of that and then the new thing that i got is a tower 28 lip jelly i have the color i think it's called cashew but i wanted to try this one i always see it in like the ads and stuff and this one's called xo xo i'm kind of having deja vu right now i'm like have i bought this before i don't think i have but i love this formula it's just like a pretty pink color but it's obviously going to be like a little more sheer how cute is that but yeah that is what i got at the sephora sale oh this lip liner does not want to come off she is she is long wearing i guess anyway i'm gonna get back to walking and then probably make some lunch here in a little bit it's been one of those days and i just really struggled sorry that's very loud really struggled with just like getting things done today i have not been good at that and so i feel like getting at least some steps in while i'm getting my work done has helped a lot it just helps me feel like i'm doing something else so i'm grateful for that so anyway okay i'm gonna put this stuff away and then we'll chat more later and wouldn't you know i sat down to edit this vlog and realized that i didn't end it yet again so here i am this lighting looks so green and yellow i don't know what's going on it's just normal in this room this camera has a hard time with like low light sometimes and also this apartment is very dark so it's okay but yeah i'm just sitting down now i'm actually um almost finished editing this vlog so i just need to add this little bit in i need to fix my squeaky chair because it's driving me insane the next vlog you see is going to be a weekend vlog so we're going to do some apartment hunting i don't know if that's going to be included in the weekend vlog or if i'll do like a separate you know all the apartment tours i do coming up pretty soon and then just make it like one big video and then you can kind of see and i'll like number it and that kind of thing let me know your thoughts down below but it's supposed to be like a rainy cozy weekend i was going to say because it's such a beautiful day today i really want to redo the back patio even if we only end up living here for like another month or so um i really want to like make it usable again because all this rain and stuff has really gotten to it but we are supposed to have like a very rainy cozy weekend so i might postpone that and like wait until later and just enjoy the rainy weekend make some chilly cozy up on the couch in our pajamas like that sounds amazing so we will see about that and i really want to clean out my closet in the next vlog i don't know if i'll get her onto it right away or if i'll make it into like a main channel video i need to rotate like my winter stuff for spring and summer stuff so we'll see when i end up doing that i can't remember if i said this but i'm also sitting down to send some footage to my editor for this week's main channel video i send footage to her once a week she kills it every time i'm absolutely obsessed with her so that's gonna be fun and i wrapped up all of my filming which is great i got so much done over the last like couple of days i'm feeling a lot better just like getting ahead and feeling like i've got some work like stacked up and ready to go and ready to post makes me feel my best for sure but something always like falls off the plate like definitely anyway i'm going on too much of a tangent now just wanted to come on here and end this vlog so thank you so much for watching and i'll see you very soon in the next vlog bye


Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I am going to be doing a first impressions review on the new NARS Euphoria face palette. I'm going to show you how I got this look and go over my thoughts of this guy. So if you want to hear my thoughts and see all that good stuff, then just keep watching. Hi guys, if you're new here, my name is Morgan. I am a product knowledge enthusiast. I just love knowing anything and everything about all of the new makeup on the market and sharing my thoughts with you guys. Now, I'm not as consistent when it comes to covering NARS products just because their products don't necessarily excite me all the time and they seem to come out with a lot of little collections on their website. And this was the first collection in a while that I was kind of interested in. Now, I didn't buy the whole collection. I only picked up the palette and I have to say, the reason that I justify this is when NARS comes out with a palette with a color story that I really like, I tend to use it a lot. I don't buy every palette that they come out with, but when I find one that I like, I really, really like it. So this one definitely interested me. Now, this is currently only available on the NARS website. I don't know if it's going to go to other retailers. It is limited edition and on their website right now, it's selling fast. I picked this up for $59. The NARS website does have AfterPay if you use AfterPay. This is described as a limited edition palette featuring eight eyeshadows and three glistening shades of highlighter. So let's take a look at the product itself. So it has this gorgeous kind of coral packaging, which I think is really nice. They haven't seen packaging this color from them, but it's still their typical kind of design. You have the shade names on the back and it has a really hard to open class. On the back, it is a 12 month shelf life made in Canada. I feel like more and more products are being made in Canada. It has a big large mirror and when you open it up, you have the eight shades on top and then the three highlighters at the bottom. Each eyeshadow, by the way, is 1.2 grams and then each highlighter is 4 grams. So let's talk about the eyeshadows first. So it's a pretty neutral color story with the exception of kind of this cranberry row here. We have three mattes, two, I would say almost satins, one metallic shade, and then two of their glittering formula, and then all three of the highlighters seem to be the same. And then they say one is a medium peach, one is a medium gold, and then one is a light pink shade. I'm not sure. Maybe this is a light pink and this is the peach anyway. So I don't know. Let's just get into it. I decided to do a first impression of this because I felt like doing a first impression for an eyeshadow base. I'm using my makeup by Mario Master Eye Prep and Set in the shade light. Not my favorite eyeshadow primer, but trying to use it more. It does create a pretty nice canvas. Let's get into the goods. We're going to start off with this shade right here. I am using an Esum V34. This does carry some pigmentation to it. Powder does kick back with this shade, but it's very, very light. So if you have a deeper complexion than me, this is going to work differently for you. DK Beauty 202. We're going into this medium brown shade. Has a little bit of peachiness to it. And we're just going to slowly build up the depth and blend it out very nice. We're going to go in with this shade right here. It's going to tell us a lot about the formula. And I'm not doing, as you can see anything special, but this is blending out very nicely. So that's a very good thing. It's very important for a brand to nail down a chocolate brown, in my opinion, because it's such an important color and I accidentally made a mess. That's okay because if it can blend out well, then the problems will be easily solved. Let's play around with this glittery formula. So this is almost like a brown with some pink glitters in there. And so when you apply it to the lid, it's not very, very pigmented, but the glitters are quite evident. I would almost suggest using a glitter glue for this because I feel like let's test it out that the glitters are just going to fall. So let's see. Yeah, so the glitters kind of do fall out of place. It's definitely not as glittery as it was when I first applied. So if you really want that glitter to stick, use a glitter glue. So I don't think the shade is a complete bust, but yeah, it doesn't have too much of a purpose though. Now we're going to go in with the peach shade. I guess this is more of a champagne-y gold, but we're going to apply this all over to the lid. I will say it doesn't pack as much as a punch as I would like for it to. I guess just a little bit more soft than I was anticipating it being. It's pretty. There's a time and a place for this, but in the pan it looked a little bit more metallic to me. I imagine this shade is going to be a little bit more metallic-y. So I'm going to apply that not all over the lid as far as that first color that I just did, but not quite in the inner corner because I want to play with some of the highlights. But yeah, that one has more of a metallic finish. So if you're looking for an extra gleam, we're going to have to go into that shade. We're going to use the cranberry color, which has a shimmer to it. Just run this along the lower lash line. Pool is very, very red. You know, the holidays are coming towards an end, but how fun. The pigmentation to this is really, really good. And I'm going to just wipe off that brush and we're going to go into the pinky shade. And I'm going to apply that to the inner half. That's just kind of a nice, soft pink touch. Nothing to write home about. If you really want the paint to be a little bit more bold, I would suggest glitter glue or wetting your brush. But I did just add a little bit of extra dimension. All right, cool. I actually, I really like the look. I don't think the shadows are really spectacular, but they're not bad quality. I think that the shadows are really nice quality. I liked how everything applied. Are they anything really special? No, do you have these colors? Yes. Is it an amazing color story? No, but they definitely worked really well. So I'm going to finish lashes, blush, lips, and then we'll finish off with the highlighters. All right. So makeup is complete. If you're curious about anything I'm wearing, it will be linked in the description box. It's time to move over to the highlights. So I have them swatching my hand right now. They all seem to be a little bit more on the warmer side. The only shade that I can see maybe with a little bit of glitter is the warmest, deepest highlight. I don't know if you can almost see the little flex, but very, very, very fine. Pretty much non-existent, if you ask me. The rest seem to be pretty smooth. So we're going to start off with the deepest shade. If you have a similar complexion than mine, we can see what it's going to look like. I'm using a Kaleidos H1 brush. So you can kind of see the glitter flex a little bit on the face, but it is a little bit more beaming. Not my favorite highlight. Normally I really like the Nars highlighter formula, but I can tell you this one I probably won't reach for again, except as an eyelid shade. There is a very, very slight cast. I think this will be nicer on a medium complexion. So now let's move into the middle, more golden shade. So again, I think this is going to be a little bit more flattering on medium to deep complexions. It works. And you can see it's a very, very shiny finish. And it almost has more of a metallic finish on the skin. It doesn't necessarily blend into the skin. It looks almost like a soft foil. It's really, really pretty. Just not my favorite highlighter in the world. All right, and now let's play with the lightest one right here, which they describe as a light pink. I don't really think it's very pinky. I think it's a very light champagne peach. And we're just going to put this right on the tips. And that's very, very blinding. It's really, really pretty. It's almost like glass looking on the skin. It's almost a bit too much. If you're like me and you like more natural or blend into the skin kind of highlighters, they're almost more reflective than the actual shimmer shades in the eyeshadow palette, which is interesting. Very pretty highlights though. I don't want you to think I don't like it. It's just I've gotten used to a little bit more natural highlights and not so glass like. But that really does make a fantastic inner corner highlight. I use the lightest shade. All right. So that's that. Let me get myself together and I'll be back with my final thoughts. All right, you guys. So let's get into my final thoughts. By the way, I don't know if you guys saw, but I did put up turquoise lettering of my makeup order design. So it's really cute in the white t-shirt. Anyways, okay. Overall, I definitely think this is a good palette. It's very good quality, but I don't think it is a necessity unless you really enjoy these colors. For me, I don't think it's my favorite palette that Nars has come out with. The highlights are a little bit too glass-like and reflective on my cheek than what I normally prefer. Very, very pretty. Just not what I go for anymore. Back in the day, I would have loved this. And I think the colors though will be very flattering on a medium and deeper complexion. Just be prepared for that extra shine. The eyeshadows worked very well also. They blended beautifully. I love the look that I created. It's very simple, but you're not really going to get a huge variety in looks. The majority of the shades are pretty neutral with the exception of this pop right here, which is really, really pretty. And if you put it all over the lid, it will make a stunning kind of night out evening, very crampy kind of look. So the shadow quality is also very, very nice as expected. And I mean, basically my final thoughts kind of ring true to what I've been saying about Nars for a while. The stuff they come out with, it's really good quality, but it is a little bit repetitive. We have the colors. It's not exciting enough, but if you are interested in the color story, I don't think you would be disappointed with the formula. So I hope you guys enjoyed this demo and first impressions. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know in the description box. And if you aren't subscribed to my channel, I would absolutely love it if you would consider taking the time to do so. And I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys. Have a good one.


just here, but across the country. I want to refer that to the Environment Infrastructure Committee for consideration and presentation by staff. Is that second? Any discussion? Say none with the previous question. Kirk, call the roll. Mr. Rickerman? Aye. Mr. McDowell? Yes. Mr. Duvall? Aye. You're in all the fun together. Mr. Fedora? Aye. Mr. Vine? Aye. Mr. Davis? Aye. Mayor Benjamin? Aye. All right. Any other reports or referrals? We have almost everyone's spoken already, but ever Ms. Lottie Myers? You're speaking on behalf of my sister, Kershan Johnson. Yes, goodbye. I'm here speaking on behalf of my sister, Kershan Johnson. She's currently detained at Alvin S. Glenn on a murder charge. She's disabled. She's been there for almost six months. When they came out to question her about the things that happened, we told them that she was disabled, but they went ahead and proceeded with everything anyways. When another county came to question her, they knew instantly that she was disabled, so they couldn't go further with any questioning. But the city of Columbia went ahead and proceeded with their questioning. There's no evidence on anything. Basically, she's just being held there with nothing. They have no evidence, no fingerprints, gun prints, or anything. Well, Ms. Myers, thank you for being here. And obviously, you don't know the circumstances that you're dealing with, or that your sister's dealing with. This is not the venue that she's going to be able to seek justice, or what have you. So I'm not sure how things have moved in their way through the court process. Has she been assigned a public defender? Does she have an attorney? She has a public defender, but when I reach out to him, he never reaches back out to me. She hasn't been up for a bind. Nothing. We'll make it a point to reach out to the public defender. If you leave your sister's name and information, just to make sure they're being responsive, the attorney is probably going to be the best person to advocate on behalf of her interests. But that's not something that we take up here at City Council. OK. I just need this to go public, because nobody's listening. Like, we've been trying to get this out and heard for so long, but no one's listening. We've called WLTX, like so many places, and there's numerous of crimes that's happening in our community and in the surrounding communities. That's almost the same to the same exact incident, but no one's putting in the effort to look into it. It's just like she's just sitting there, and no one cares. Like, she's innocent. Like, we know this for sure. Like, this is heartbreaking to know that someone disabled or not able to commit this crime is being held against her. Basically, she's been coerced into making, to confessing to this, honestly. She's old. She's 19 now, but she's disabled. We've turned in all of her school records. Yes, she was 18 at the time, but she's 19 now. She turned 19 there. We turned in her school records. Everything that they needed, we've turned in, is just that they're not hearing this. They're holding her. And the investigator who actually came out to pick her up actually stated to myself and my mom that he know that she didn't do this. But my thing is, if you know this, then why are you charging her with it? What is her disability? We're not going to start litigating it right now. And I know this is an issue very close to Miss Davis's heart as well. Please share her name with us. Her name is Kershaw Johnson. Information, and we'll make sure that we reach out directly to the public defender to see if you can get some quick service from the PD, OK? How else will we go about doing this? What other ways are we going to do this? You have to ask your attorney that, ma'am. That's not something that we have any jurisdiction over here at City Hall, all right? Thank you. Thank you. Nicole and Hannah from the University of Maryland, are they gone already? I know we had some students here from the University of Maryland there with Forest. All right, I see a bunch of students here. Where are you guys from? USC, Gamecocks, J School? You picked an interesting night to be here. I hope, hopefully, it was interesting, exciting, and not boring, and maybe a tad bit silly at least. So I think you're the only one getting the course credit for being here, hopefully. So glad to have you here. Great, great school, great school. All right. Go, Moons. I know. Let me make sure I've touched everyone. I think everyone else has spoken, who has signed up to speak. Want to make sure Ms. Williams, did you have something else you wanted to say on the baseball stadium? Ma'am? You don't have to. We can move. You want to defer? I know, I know what she was asking. Yes, ma'am? Thank you. Now, I wouldn't have to say thank you. I was coming to ask when, but nobody notified me that it was going to be on here for us to have everybody out here. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, when is the groundbreaking? You and Mr. Davis talk about that. You see your favorite guy right back there? Mr. Davis, y'all, this is the baseball field at Bethel Bishop. Thank you, Regina. Yes, thank you, thank you. Is there a Mr.? There will not be a groundbreaking. When we break ground, we'll be building. We'll be knocking down immediately. So it's not like we want to start immediately. We just got that word. Just did that today. I think you missed that. But $298,000 that we're going to do. And that's a real advantage for our area. And whatever my counselor says is what I do, there will be no groundbreaking. We'll follow his lead. Thank you. That's a new rule. That's a new rule. Some of you may already know that on the 23rd, we're going to have the Cornbread Festival, the corner main in Elmwood. Free admission from 11 o'clock to 7 p.m. Come out for some live music, food, craft vendors, and a kids' playground. Is that sufficient? All right, I've done a commercial for the Cornbread Festival. All right, I want to thank my man, Blake Gibbons, for being a fantastic shadow today. You did a great job. Your paycheck's waiting downstairs, OK? Ms. Devine? This is an announcement, too, that so one week from today will be the 11th annual together we can read. And I believe we still have some vacancies, if anybody, especially some of the young people. If you don't have class at 9 a.m. on Tuesday to join us to read in every third grade class in Richland 1. What's the book? We've had something about wonderful neighborhood leaders here today, too. We'll see Chef Houston. Thank you for being here, Chef. And Ms. Wiley, and all of you, thank you so much for your continued leadership. Is there a non-debatable motion to adjourn? Second? There's a question for Colorado. Mr. Rickerman, Mr. McDowell, Mr. Duvall, Mr. Badura, Mr. Vine, Mr. Davis, Mr. Benjamin. Aye. Have a good evening.


Good morning, John. In your last video, you were talking about how sometimes huge shifts in global power structures result in short-term catastrophe, and that made me think about how deeply wonderful it is that we have gotten through the last 73 years as a nuclear species without completely destroying ourselves. There are 195-ish countries. Only nine of them have access to nuclear weapons. North Korea, with a per capita GDP of $1,300, has proven that you don't have to have a ton of money to have a nuclear arsenal, so why, why, why don't more countries have nukes? This seems, frankly, like a tremendous success, one that should be celebrated and studied and talked about and fretted over maintaining. So let's talk about why, more than 73 years after the development of the first nuclear weapons, so few countries have access to them. Caveat. I am not an expert in international relations, though I did talk to some of those, and I recorded one of them as an interview that's on Hank's channel right now, but I will not be going deep into any of this. This is something that lots of people study for their whole lives. The Wikipedia page on Iran's nuclear program by itself is more than 20,000 words. You can, I think, say a lot with some broad strokes. Let's start with the list in order. The US tested its first nuclear bomb in 1945. The USSR followed in 1949. The UK in 1957. France in 1960. Followed by China in 1964. That was a big spurt, and it will become important later. Israel definitely has secret nukes and may have had them as early as the 1960s, but they've never tested one or admitted to having them. India developed nuclear weapons in the 70s. South Africa built but probably never tested fission bombs in the 1980s before dismantling them. In 1991, three countries briefly had nuclear weapons because when they started existing, they already had them. Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan all had nuclear weapons when the USSR collapsed. In 1994, they gave all those weapons back to Russia in exchange for assurances that Russia would never challenge their borders, which seems to have turned out just fine. Pakistan surprised the world with a nuclear test in 1998, and North Korea's first test was 2006. If we look at it in volume, the US and Russia, now Russia, not the USSR, have the vast majority of nuclear weapons. Everyone else is pretty much tied for last, except for North Korea, which is extra last. And this isn't to say that other countries haven't tried. There have been nuclear programs in Brazil, Argentina, Libya, Iran, Taiwan, South Korea. There are more states that have tried to get nuclear weapons than there are states that have them. The story of why is complicated. We're gonna start with the 1960s when there was that big spurt in new nuclear powers ending with China. That was seen rightfully as scary, possibly especially because it ended with China. A country that was, uh, Europeans were like, well that's not a European country. Those people aren't white, and also Mao Zedong is pretty scary dude. Countries were exploring nuclear programs just because their neighbors were, and if they didn't know their neighbor wasn't, they were gonna do it. And the international community was realizing that this was gonna result in a fully nuclear world. But a lot of people in the 60s didn't see this as unusual or scary. It was like, okay, well there have been new weapons before, there's a new weapon again, and the major militaries are gonna have access to this weapon. But an arms race was going on, and people were realizing that as destructive as the bombs dropped in Japan were, they were only a fraction of what could be done. The Cold War started raging, people were building bomb shelters, students were having drills in their schools, and I think the world was kind of realizing what it would be like to have a world war with nuclear powers on both sides. So some countries got together at the UN to create a treaty that said, hey, uh, look, stop. Everyone signed this piece of paper saying that if you don't already have nukes, you will not pursue nuclear weapons programs. And over the years since, every country has been like, actually, yeah. Except for India, Pakistan, and Israel, who basically just texted the UN one of those shruggy emoticons. All of those countries, though it took varying amounts of time, subsequently developed nuclear weapons. The only country to have withdrawn from that treaty, North Korea. So if you've signed that treaty, it's literally against international law to develop nuclear weapons. But you don't have to sign the treaty, as South Sudan proved when it became a country in 2011 and did not sign the treaty at least yet. So why do countries sign it? And why does so few countries have nuclear weapons? Let's do a list. One, it's fricking expensive to purify uranium 235, though it is getting cheaper. Two, it is also expensive to have the whole international community not buy anything from your country and not sell anything to your country. So that raises the price of violating that treaty. Three, it's generally good to be like a productive member of the international community and to just agree with the things that everyone agrees with. Four, international laws against selling nuclear materials, except in very specific circumstances, have actually been really successful. Number five, the United States has traditionally had a lot of really good relationships with its allies and has promised to protect them with its giant arsenal of nuclear warheads. Number six, the 73 years since World War II have been remarkably prosperous and peaceful. Seven, we got very, very lucky. There's no guarantee that if we somehow ran this experiment again that we would end up being in such a good situation. And finally, number eight, for those and also many other reasons including humanitarian ones, most countries don't want nuclear weapons. They just don't want them. International relations experts talk about a norm against nuclear weapons. They're seen as taboo, as if developing a nuclear weapons program is kind of seen as like wading into the muck. And if you look around at the people who are creating these weapons programs in recent years, it is, it's kind of a mucky place. I was surprised when I started researching this video that South Africa had a nuclear program. Why did that happen? Because they were being ostracized by the international community for having an explicitly racist government. Unfortunately, the main tool we have to discourage countries from developing nuclear weapons can sometimes force them even deeper into that muck. A country, whether that's the leader or its people or both, are only gonna want to develop nuclear weapons right now if they are feeling threatened by the international order. And that happens when the country is some combination of unstable, autocratic, or has bad relationships with its neighbors. And I'm not saying that like we should do it a different way. I don't know. But sanctioning countries does hurt their economies and further isolates them from the benefits of being part of the international community. And of course the people who are hurt most by sanctions aren't the leaders in government palaces unless there's some kind of revolution. It's the poor. And the more unstable and disconnected they are, the easier it is to tell a story about how the whole world is out to get them and they need to protect themselves. And that is how countries like North Korea and its feared maybe someday Iran slip through these cracks. So then we end up in a world where all the new entrants to like the nuclear club, which is a weird one to be in, not that I'm not, are the least stable countries. Both because sanctions somewhat maybe destabilized them, but also because stable countries who are productive members of the international community don't want nukes. Why would they? They're expensive, they're illegal, they're hard to maintain and they don't provide clear benefit. And that one is so important, even though I put it on my pinky finger, which is little. Because that's only true unless there are clear benefits to having nuclear weapons, like increased legitimacy and access and power. Unless the world becomes less stable and citizens of a country feel that they need to protect themselves. Unless long-standing alliances that have held the world together for a long, long time start to erode. Unless international law becomes less powerful. Unless the work of generations of experts is not respected and upheld and continued. The barriers to making nuclear weapons are falling and the penalties for doing it are becoming less effective. So countries that want nuclear weapons, it's going to be easier for them to get them. And so the path forward maybe is to do what we've been doing, which is to create a world where there are less benefits to having nuclear weapons. And so the list of countries that want nuclear weapons is short not because they're afraid of being penalized but because there's just not a lot of advantage to having them. Building that world was a complicated process that involved a lot of compromise and a lot of hard work by good people. Like lots of them. Lots of people working hard together. Because like any relationship, global relationships are lots of work. And while we often only see the failings, these decades of non-proliferation and a world in which nuclear weapons have only been used two times during war, which I recognize was done by my country, that's a remarkable testament to people working together. That's not to say that we didn't screw up at all during those 73 years. And it's not to say that we didn't have some terrifying near misses. That we have gotten this far is one part luck. One part hard work by thoughtful people dedicated to peace and stability. And one part even more luck. And I just want to say thank you to the people who have worked on that. However you worked on it. That's remarkable. And also like dang, thanks. And I worry that since it's been a fairly good 73 years, we may be getting a little complacent. We may be are forgetting how hard we worked for this outcome, how bad it could have gone and how much we need to keep working to keep this stuff together. Because I'm not saying it couldn't have gone better, but we have done remarkably well. John, I'll see you on Tuesday. Unless, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Thank you to Catherine Gill and Jeffrey Lewis for consulting with me on this video. You can see my interview with Jeffrey over on Hank's channel. It was a good time. It's about half an hour long. We have lots of good chats. And if you're interested in learning more about something completely different, that is also in the news. We have did a series on the US court system over on YouTube.com slash Complexly, which is Complexly's new YouTube channel just for our production company where we can try out new things and have a bit of a playground. Alright, bye-bye.
