Welcome to Psychic Medium, Tony Green. I am said psychic, said medium. Not gonna push it, said Tony Green pushed it, couldn't help it. Okay, hey everybody. Hope everything is going amazing for you today. So, oh my goodness gracious. We're gonna get started with a show and hopefully it will be everything you had hoped it would be and then some. Okay, so I wanna say hi to everybody in the chat. Hey, Rebecca, Sal, Amy, Caroline, Kim and another Amy. There's two Amy's in the chat today, just scrolling back. Oh, Ann, hey Ann, I wanna make sure, I always try to make sure I don't forget anybody. If I do, I apologize. And then hi, Maris. I'm just gonna say your name is Maris, 005, because she is, 005. Okay, so here we go. Every Monday and Wednesday, I go live at noon central and bring you a show where I answer your questions about life, love, career, finances, any aspect of your life at all that you want to talk about or help you connect with loved ones on the other side. If you wanna connect with loved ones on the other side, all I need is a name, your loved ones name and their relationship to you. And then if there are any questions or closure or anything you want from your loved one, I'm happy to do that. And what else, what else? Oh, I have a specific question. It's always easier with a very specific question. And maybe it's not your job to make my job easy, but if you want a very specific, good answer, have a specific question. If you, you know, it just works better that way. Okay, okay, okay. Now, I'm gonna go into a few of my notes that I had for Monday's show and I did not even get to. I tried to get to it at the end of the show and then like I had 10 seconds left and I had to like just end the show so abruptly and I apologize. Okay, if you'd like to call in and ask a question or connect with a loved one, the call in number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. That's it,<PHONE_NUMBER>. You can call in, ask a question, connect with a loved one. If you'd like to chat in the chat, let's chat in the chat. Hey, Mimi, how are you? So at the end of the last show that I did on Monday, there were a few things I talked about. I don't remember where I put everything, but I still have my notes and I'm going to try to go with them. Now, I did talk about somebody who was a so-called influencer on social media making videos about high value people or not high value people. And I just gave my opinion that we are all of the highest value. If you want to go back to Monday show and listen to that, good idea. But I think towards the end of the show, I was talking about in relationships and somebody did ask me to expand on this and so I said, absolutely. So in relationships, we sometimes, there's so much to say about relationships and there are millions of people out there saying it. But just a few things that have been downloaded to me as far as relationships that I can share on the show that will hopefully help somebody. I started talking last week, I think about being wife material or husband material and being ready to be that wife or husband. And again, you can go back to that show and listen to that and that was on Monday. And one thing I want to say about that and this hopefully is going to be a light bulb moment for some people. When we are dating, we are ready at different points for relationships. So typically, not everybody, but typically, men are ready for a relationship when they are financially there. Like when they feel financially stable, they're ready for that relationship where they are where they want to be. Typically, that's when a man will start a relationship. Typically, not every man and not in every situation. Women start relationships when they feel ready to a family and that's more emotional. And they're ready to give that love to the husband and take care of home and da da da da. So right there, we have an update. So here's the part we don't look at. Are we ready psychologically? Are we ready on every level?    Boom, boom, boom, boom, bumping and humping bunnies out there, right? And that's just where they are. That's all they feel like they are ready for, possibly. Now, once you get past that point and you're ready for more and maybe the other person isn't, they just don't wanna be a humping, thumping bunny and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but you have to know and you have to pull away. You can't convince somebody of something they don't want to be, okay?  That's not bad on you. That's just who they are. That's where they are in their life and that doesn't have anything to do with you. And I think that's where a lot of in relationships problems come in because we think if the other person doesn't want us or they're not ready for that relationship, it has everything to do with us and it really doesn't, it so doesn't. That's just about where they are in their life, okay? That's just where they are in their life. It has absolutely nothing to do with us 90% of the time. And again, people start relationships and we have like our emotional, mental, psychological, financial, spiritual, and there's one more mental, emotional, psychological and there's one more level that we are all, that each of us has and we need to be ready on more than one of those levels, more than one of those areas to start that relationship and be successful in it and hopefully find somebody there with it. And I'm talking really fast because I'm trying to rush through this so I can get to questions and callers. And so I'm sorry, I am talking so fast about that.  Are you ready to do that role?    Okay, now we're gonna go to callers. Again, if you would like to call in<PHONE_NUMBER> is the call in number. If you'd like to call in and ask a question or connect with a loved one. So everybody, there are not everybody, but a couple of people on YouTube are asking for songs. And the song that is coming to me is, the very first song that's coming to me is One More Time. And I can't get the beat of it. I really can't get the beat of any song to be perfectly honest. It's not the song One More Time. It's not that song. But I'll come back to that song. But if you know it, you know it. It's meant for you. The next song that I'm getting is that song. I'll never be, I'll never be your beast of burden. I walk for miles in my feet, I hurt. Come on, baby. Give it to me. Am I rough enough, tough enough to be your man? If they're asking me, that's probably a solid no. But I don't think that song is for me. So whoever that's for, answer that question. Okay. The next song is, I had that song. It's a really love, love, lovey song. When I look into your eyes, please don't make me sing more. Oh, that song. And I think we all know what that song is.  I just, I know it is, but it's the way it comes through me. And I just, it is what it is. Okay. It's like watching the gong show back in the day. Okay. Okay. And the names I'm hearing are, it's three names in a row, but it could be the same person, but I'm gonna say it could be three different people. Maria, Mary, Mary, Maria, Mary, or Mary, Anna, Mary, something. You know how the good I'm hearing, the good Catholic girls have like Mary Beth or Mary Anna, or Mary, blah, blah, blah. It's like that. Okay. That's the name. Okay. And then the next thing I'm hearing is, the next name I'm hearing is Bob or Bobby. Bob or Bobby. And the formal name may have been rubber, but Bob or Bobby. And then, and again, Dick, Richard, which we know that if you're American and your name was Richard, they may have called you Dick for some reason. It's just the thing they did here. I know. So those are the names I'm hearing so far. And Suzanne or Susana. Okay. Okay guys, I'm gonna ask you to hold off here and I'm gonna start taking callers. Again, if you'd like to call in the numbers<PHONE_NUMBER>, I'm gonna real quick say hello to everybody online again, because so many, oh my goodness, so many people are here. Thank you so much.  Mimi, hey Mimi, how are you? Heather's here, Cindy's here, Mo De is here, Kavita's here, Franky's here with us. Sally, hey Sally, welcome to the show. So the way it works with the readings for the show, I'm gonna say it again really quick. If you call in the number, you can ask a specific question or connect with a loved one on the other side. If you're in the chat, you can ask a question in the chat, a specific question or a connection, and I'll do my best to get that to you, okay? And the energy sometimes feels like it comes through more in the phone because I can talk a little bit more and interact with your personal energy, but if the way you have to interact is through chat, I completely understand, because some people are in other countries and they can't call into the show and I get that, and I try to respect both. I try also to go back and forth. I'm gonna start with the call, 908, 908, what's your name and where are you calling from? Oh, hi, good afternoon, this is Caroline. How are you, Tony? Caroline, I'm so good, how are you? Oh, and at peace, I'm just moving on with life and with the journey. And this is so amazing, I got the goosebumps. You said the name, Mary, well, how about Marie? You said the name Richard, Mary and Richie or Richard. Mary is no longer with us, even heaven, but Richard is very elderly and he's my landlord. Oh, my goodness. My question. Yes. This is so amazing, because I was gonna ask the same question, but I was gonna ask my mom to come through and then they said, Mary and Richard said, there's no coincidence. So my question is for Marie, what is going on is Richard selling the house because all the kids are here, all of them from Florida and some friends and they're doing stuff in the house and I feel that he's about to sneak up on me with something. Okay, so I feel like you might be right, love. And I know that you are very fearful of this, what's coming in or what might be coming in. And I understand why. So what I'm getting is something, they're finally realizing, there's a couple of different steps that are going to take place here. And the first thing is, I think they're finally realizing there might be something with this health. And they're also realizing they are going to try to take care of things in the house and get it ready and or at least clean it up. And they're trying to assess him and his health now. Okay, so they're trying to assess where he is, they're looking at the house, they're trying to get it cleaned up because I'm just getting a vision that the house has a lot that needs to be done in it with it to it. I do feel like you have a little bit of time, but I also feel like you should be looking just to know that there is something else out there. Now I do feel like my beautiful, beautiful friend, I do feel like there may be something I do feel like there may be some relocating coming in for you. Good. Now, I'm going to tell you this, the relocation may be to a completely different area. And now if you are open to another state or even another. As long as it's safe, as long as it's safe. Yeah. Safe town, I'm in it. Yeah, of course, of course. I do feel like there is opportunity for you abroad and locally, depending on what you're most comfortable with. Oh my, I'm thinking about abroad, either England or France. I don't know why this has come up within the last three weeks. And that opportunity will be there. Now I'm going to say something to you. There are countries that have certain regions that are becoming very depopulated. I know there are areas in Greece, areas in Italy, even Switzerland, where they are willing to pay you to move there. Like in Greece, there's an area that will give you like a house land and so much a month for the first couple, like three years. And, but it's an area where there are only like 50 people and they're trying to repopulate it. So there are other countries that are, if you can, yeah, if you can work remotely or if you can relocate, they're willing to do this for you in other countries because there are these areas that are, excuse me, not very populated. Now, what I'm going to say to you is if you decide to relocate within the US, you're going to go someplace outside of where you currently are, the state you're currently in. I feel like you will do a whole state relocation, possibly, you know, you have the right to change that, but you may also go abroad. Now, both of the areas that you mentioned are very good areas, either one will work for you. And I do feel like that if you get to one of those areas, you're going to be very, very satisfied. Your next move is going to be like a liberating move.  You're going to be so happy. And wherever you go next, the cost of living is going to be so minimal. Okay, I hope that helps. Wow. You're going to take some. You're going to take some of them. I know you are going to take some of them. I can't guarantee all of them, but I know you're going to take some of them, okay, La? Thank you so much. You are, this was amazing. I didn't expect this in a million years. Thank you so much, Toni. You have a lovely day because I know there's other people waiting and I appreciate you very much. Have a lovely, lovely day and thank you. Absolutely my pleasure and you too. And I love you too. And you just, you know what? Start looking around, start looking at all the options and then figure out which one feels the best to you. Okay, sweetie? You are welcome. Thank you. Love you. Love you too, love. Bye-bye for now. I'm going to go to the first question on what I think is the first question.  The chat is very long. And I'm going to try to get to the, to all of the questions. And if you need to repost your question, please don't feel badly about reposting your question. Okay? I do want to say, I know that Amy May asked for a song today and Amy May, I'm going to tap specifically into your energy and give you a song. And the song that, okay, and this song is coming from, okay, okay, there's this song that's coming through and there's two people. And for some reason, the song is not as clear as I'd like it to be. Like I'm not hearing the words of the song yet, but I think it's because they might have a message. Okay. The one you want, I'm the one you need. Come on baby, take a chance on me is the song coming through. And I'm sorry, yes, I know I cannot sing. Please don't come at me with it. Please don't post that publicly. Everybody knows I can't sing. So that song, and I'm, yes, I'm off out of tune and off beat on that also, but I think you know the song Amy and I hope that helps you. And then I'm going to go to, hey Heather, I'm good. Mo-D, boom, boom. Okay, Heather says Colin's heart rate has been crazy lately again, so waiting on cardiologists to see what we are going to do next. Okay, well, we will be praying for him to have a good, for everything to be okay. I thought I saw a question on here from Sally. May I receive a reading? Thank you. Oh, nice. Okay. I wanted to connect with my grandma on the, on my mother's side. Sally, what's your grandma? Oh, here it is. Her name is Madalise. Okay. Okay. I see somebody with olive skin or a little bit. She's not pale, white. She was either tan or olive with a darker hair at one point in her life. And this person that I'm seeing was thinner at least towards the end of her life. She was thinner. And the message that I'm getting for you is, it's actually coming through in a song. The first thing I hear is that song take a chance on me.  Take a chance on me. I think that's blondie. I don't know. And then the next thing that she wants to say is, take a chance on yourself. Go and, you know, make that move, take that chance and go for it. Just don't, like, don't put your life on hold for other people or other things. Get the ball and run with it. It's basically the message that I'm getting for you, Sally, from your grandmother. And I hope that's helpful. And I hope it makes sense to you. Please let me know if that's helpful and it makes sense to you. And that song, take a chance on me. And she's trying to, they're trying to get me the next verse to that, but it's not important because I think you know what they're referring to, okay? Oh, it's Abba. Man, I love Abba.  Oh, yes. So Lisa, she was Caribbean Indian. That's why her skin was a little tan, yes. Okay, excellent. Yeah, so many good songs from Abba, you guys. So many good songs from blondie too, but yeah, Abba Danadoo, Abba Danadoo says, okay, I'm gonna go to the next caller who is 516-516. What's your name? Hey, Kavita, how are you today? Yes, I'm open actually to any message, love or travel or whatever you get. Okay, the first thing I hear is get out. I see a boat like a sailboat. I don't think you can be on a sailboat right now, but I do feel like you're gonna be some place where there is a lot of boats. Oh, I think I know. I've seen this place in a vision before, but not for you, love. It's like an area that has all, it's like an area that has all these boats, all these boats docked in it, and it's very- But I'm going to Portugal, isn't it? Okay, oh, well, that might be it. I feel like while you're there, if you can, they're saying like, I don't know if this term makes sense to you, but it's sail the ocean blue. I don't know if that's literal or figurative, but like, if you can get out and get on a boat, get on a boat now. I personally wouldn't be on a sailboat. Personally, it just seems like a lot of work. I just don't, I'm like, we're on a boat. Put a motor, hit a steering wheel. Let's enjoy this. Anyway, that's not everybody feels that way. I respect your feelings. They're just not mine. I do feel like if while you're there, you should spend time at the shore and be on the water, in the water, if you can. And I do feel like I need to tell you there is more vacationing coming in. And then I hear again, sail the ocean blue, which it doesn't literally mean sail, it just means get out there, go, go, go.  Live it, live it. Don't exist in it. Don't repeat it, live it.  Okay, great, sounds wonderful. Thank you. You know, Portugal is surrounded by water. My first stop is Luton, which is surrounded by water. Beautiful, good, good, good. Well, I think you're gonna be spending, I don't know, we'll see. When you get back, I wanna know details about the water boating sailing part of that, okay? Okay, great, thank you, thank you so much. You are welcome, you have an amazing rest of the day. You too, bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, thank you everybody so much for listening. I hope this was helpful. I hope you enjoyed it, and until the next show, thank you.


fiat. The concern that I have with its future is that the U.S. government banned gold ownership for four decades because of it being a threat to the U.S. dollar. How concerned are you that if Bitcoin ever presented a real threat to the U.S. dollar that it would suffer the same fate? So I think in general, holding back technology is very hard to do. The United States and China are really the entities that have a lot of firepower to cause Bitcoin challenges. One thing to keep in mind is that the gold ban in the FDR days was in an environment of super political concentration. So his party had like 70% of Congress, for example. And so you could stack the courts. You could override. You could just do supermajority stuff. And that's not the world we have today. So I think the basic, yes, if we were to have a supermajority of government that does not like Bitcoin, that really could set back Bitcoin for quite a while. It could damage the liquidity of the network. It could force institutional investors to discourage it. It could render it onto the gray market or black market. And of course, there will still be foreign usage of it. Plenty of hubs around the world that would happily say, okay, build your companies here and it's free to use here. But it would damage liquidity. But I think that those types of draconian things are harder to do if there's not that kind of supermajority concentration of power. It's also why I do think that some political work is useful. I mean, I'm not really politically engaged, but there are other people that go out and talk to senators and congressmen and make sure they understand it. I mean, during this recent multi-week period where there was no Speaker of the House, the acting Speaker of the House, he's hosting the Bitcoin White Paper on Congress's website. And so the acting Speaker of the House, and now it's still there. He's not the acting Speaker anymore, but Congress is hosting the White Paper. And that's the world we live in, where there are senators that like it. There are congresspeople that like it. There are governors that like it. There are presidential candidates that like it. We also have a somewhat independent judiciary and rule of law. And you can point to things like the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment. And there's context in that where, for example, in the 1990s, Phil Zimmerman got in legal trouble for introducing open source encryption to the world. And the U.S. went after him, but they eventually lost because they couldn't get past the First Amendment once he published the code in a book. And I think that Bitcoin has similar methods to try to protect itself from the most draconian pushback. So what might a transition to a more Bitcoin-based monetary system look like? What are the main technical obstacles that need to be overcome to really get that widespread adoption? Because it seems like right now what you were saying is that stablecoins are the big thing that people in countries with a weak currency are adopting. A stablecoin just for anyone listening who doesn't know. It's basically a cryptographic token that is redeemable for national currency like a U.S. dollar. So in a sense, people are still hungry for U.S. dollars. What would have to change for that hunger to turn to Bitcoin? I think a lot of it is just liquidity. And so when Bitcoin traded $1,000 a day, a millionaire couldn't just go in and put $1 million into without moving the price. The overall liquidity and sellability were low. When Bitcoin traded millions a day, someone couldn't just come and put a billion into it without moving the price. And even today, when it trades billions of dollars per day, there are very large pools of capital that if they're not careful, they can move the price. It's not a big, liquid enough market for them to really kind of go in significantly. It's still not, it doesn't have enough money properties for them yet. It has money properties at lower levels, but the bigger you get, the less liquid it is. And so it's still a tiny fraction of the overall dollar monetary system, which is much bigger, much more liquid, much more trench network effect. So I think that part of it is just going through a handful of more cycles.  So it's growing at a lower rate. In addition, developers keep building on top of it. So there's more layers that can be using it. There are better wallets, better user experience. Part of what, I originally discovered Bitcoin in like 2010 or so. And it's one of those things where in order to get it, you had to like mine it. And then I would revisit a couple years later, like I didn't buy it or didn't acquire it. And I would kind of look at the exchanges and they'd be really sketchy looking. And you had to like wire money to like Japan. And then like, it is like this whole thing. And then of course, it became much easier to do it. And then the wallet technology became much easier to use. And so part of it is just the UX gets better over time, liquidity gets better over time. And then of course, every year that goes by, people try to find more ways to break it or centralize it, things like that. So it's kind of like it's being tested for its hardness, you know, can someone find a way to, you know, break the overall technical capabilities of the Bitcoin network. And every year that goes by where that doesn't happen, the Lindy effect on it is strengthening. Unlike most technologies that can be adopted very quickly and smoothly. So, you know, most technologies, you adopt like the smartphone, you never go back to not having a smartphone, you don't adopt electricity and go back to not having it. A new monetary technology is different because unlike those, it can be levered. And so if it starts to go up in a smooth pattern, people will realize that and leverage it. And then they will make it a bubble and it'll crash. And then people will actually de-adopt it. They'll be like, well, I messed up, I should have bought Bitcoin, it's a scam, and they get out. And then Bitcoin has to spend a few years rebuilding from people that actually, you know, deeply followed the network and understand what's going on there and say, okay, there was a local bubble and it's going to work itself out. And then they kind of re-come into the network on the next cycle. So by its very nature, it's going to adopt basically any cyclical and longer taking way. And I think really there's a challenge of dollar one or two ways, either just the sheer liquidity and size of the network eventually reduces the volatility of it.  It just gets harder. And two, the United States dollar does have some kind of long-term fiscal challenges with it now that we've not really seen in a very, very long time. And so eventually the dollar can enter a more structurally inflationary problematic period, kind of like what Japan would look like if Japan had a trade deficit and had these other kind of challenges. And so I do think that either the dollar can hurt itself or Bitcoin can just keep gathering liquidity and technical proof and just overall better UX, assuming again that nothing, no one finds a way to hack it, centralize it, censor it, or otherwise disrupt it. Hey, thanks for watching that clip from my conversation with Lynn Alden about her new book, Broken Money. You can watch another clip right here or the full conversation over here.


The 40th anniversary of Women in Military Chaplaincy ceremony was held in Arlington, Virginia, March 4th. During the ceremony, the Navy's first female chaplain, Reverend Diana Pullman Bell, gave her remarks on the contributions that female chaplains in the military have and continue to make every day. Many of you have served long and distinguished careers. Many of you are serving and moving continually in very distinguished careers and I am deeply thrilled by what you are doing. The celebration was sponsored by the Women's Memorial Foundation in partnership with the military chiefs of chaplains to recognize the services of female military chaplains. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Brandy Wills.


Down the rabbit hole is a segment where I answer a question that I ask myself. Andreas, hey, what is an NFT? I'd like to tell you that NFT means naming failure total. Because the term NFT is one of those things that is very difficult to explain and very poorly named. An NFT is a type of deed. The acronym NFT means non-fungible token, which is what I like to call a negative explanation. You ask me, what is an NFT? I give you an answer and now you have two questions because now you don't know what non-fungible token means. I have to explain that and also what fungible means. Fungible means that any unit of, say, a currency is indistinguishable from every other unit of a currency. If you give me a dollar bill, I don't care if the serial number ends in a two or three or five. It's still just a dollar bill. That is a fungible currency. It is fungible by law. If, however, I give you the title and registration of my current vehicle, then you will say, hey, can I use this to claim ownership to any vehicle? No. You can only claim ownership to the Toyota Corolla that I am currently driving. The specific one with this registration number, that is a deed. It's a title of ownership. It is non-fungible because it does not represent any possible variation of that type of item. It represents a specific instance, not any Toyota Corolla, not any car, this car.  It is a token that represents a unique item. Now, it can be a physical item, for example, a house, a boat, a car, or it can be an intangible item, for example, a picture or the intellectual property of my logo or something else. And that may have some degree of recognition by some authority or none at all. For a digital item, you can prove ownership with a blockchain and the digital item itself may give you some kind of special privileges. Now, let's say, for example, you have a non-fungible token that is related to a piece of art, a digital photo. Can someone copy the photo? Of course they can, just like they can photocopy a signed copy of my book. But it's still not the original signed copy of my book that I signed. They can't copy the non-fungible token that proves that it was issued by me, for example, and therefore that's what they own. They don't own the digital image because that can be copied. They own the proof that I issued it, which gives them bragging rights. It gives them the ability to say that they are a patron of my work. It gives them the ability to say that they have recorded a unique moment. And that may have meaning or value depending on how you look at this space. It's very often easy to be cynical about these things and not see why these things might have value. But I think they do. I think that they can have meaning for those who collect these things. Ultimately, that's what they are, collectibles. But they're programmable collectibles that have special features. For example, let's say I gave out a signed copy of my book as an NFT and you have the e-book. Well, you can copy the e-book. In fact, it's open licensed, but the NFT proves that you got it from me as the author and that's the same as me putting an autograph in it. But it doesn't end there. I could make it so that presenting ownership of that NFT, for example, with a digital signature from the same key that owns the NFT, you could gain access to the secret super-duper exclusive member's only area on my website where you could ask me questions. I wouldn't do that, but that's something you could do with an NFT. So you can use it as an access token. Maybe I go and do a concert at Madison Square Garden where I talk about NFTs and then you can use your ownership of the NFT as a ticket to come and see me. Madison Square Garden, call me if you want to book this. I'll be available. And then you could also use it to do something in the real world. For example, if I represented the title and registration of my Toyota Corolla with an NFT, maybe the NFT could sign a message that starts that car. So effectively, it's also the key. It opens the door and allows you to drive away. So if I transfer ownership of the NFT to you, you can now use that as a digital key to start the car and drive away. So ownership and control over the asset becomes one and the same. And there are many other things. I could also do things like deliver a stream of royalty revenues, dividends, or royalty payments to my audience. So these things are very flexible. They allow us to do things with tokens. And the real, the only characteristic that makes something an NFT is the fact that it represents a unique item of any tangible or intangible form and its ownership can be verified on a blockchain, can be transferred on a blockchain and you can build secondary markets and various programmable features. Other than that, it's a token and anything you can do with tokens, you can do with non-fungible tokens, but they have some very unique properties because they are non-fungible. Can NFTs expire? If you want them to, they don't expire at the moment, but you could implement a kind of enhanced NFT standard that has some additional features including expiry. Let's think about this for a second. What is an NFT? Very much like an ERC-20 token, an NFT, which if I remember correctly is a ERC-721. I don't remember the number by heart. That type of token specification specifies the minimum interface available for a token to be compatible with the standard. So it has to support, let's say, five different calls that allow you to do certain things with that token. The code base of an NFT or an ERC-20 token doesn't have to only restrict itself to the five function calls that are defined in the ERC specification. It has to have those so that other applications, exchanges, etc., can interact with these things in a way that is standardized and compatible with all of the available wallets. But you could do more. And many tokens do more things. They have additional capabilities, features, or even limitations, constraints that are implemented in code and with function calls that are outside or extensions of the standard. And those may be further standardized with additional standards or not. They may be custom to a specific NFT. So you could write an NFT that has some additional functions that do things like expiry. And you could implement those functions so that each NFT also has an additional field, which is maybe its expiration date. And then you could check if it's expired or not. And you could limit how the other functions work. So yes, you can do that. That's the interesting thing about programmable smart contracts. Hi, thanks for watching the video.

Our bodies are like clocks, and one day we're going to stop ticking. But why? Everything in our body, right down to our cells, is constantly aging. But why does this happen? To answer this question, we're going to have to take a look at it on the cellular level. One potential cause of aging is the mitochondria. As you can see, not all of the DNA in a cell is found in a nucleus. Some can be found in the mitochondria, since it is theorized that mitochondria was once a small, free living creature. Mitochondrial DNA mutates much faster than nucleic DNA. As mitochondrial DNA takes more damage, the mitochondria gradually declines in its ability to produce energy, which can lead to cell death. However, that's just only one piece of the puzzle. Aging could also be caused by something fishy going on in the nucleus. In the nucleus, our genes are twisted into double strands called chromosomes. At the end of the chromosomes are telomeres, which are repetitive strands of DNA. Telomeres protect our genetic information and keep chromosome ends from sticking to each other, which can seriously mess up an organism's genetic information. Each time a cell divides, the telomere shortens. When the telomeres get too short, the cell ceases to divide and either becomes inactive or dies. It is believed the shortening of telomeres is what causes aging. However, aging isn't just caused by genetics alone. External factors can also play a role in aging. For example, our body metabolizes glucose from the food we eat along with oxygen in the air we breathe for energy. This metabolic process takes place in the mitochondria, where oxygen is used to convert food into energy. The mitochondria is extremely efficient with this process, but they produce chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen called oxygen-free radicals, which attack your DNA strands affecting its function and structure severely. This is why this process is believed to be one of the causes of aging. Also, let's not forget exposure to harmful substances such as smoking tobacco, which can destroy your skin's elastic fibers, giving your skin a wrinkly look, can also be a cause of aging too. Even the sun, which is the ultimate source of energy, contributes to aging by releasing harmful ultraviolet rays, which can damage our skin and give it wrinkles, freckles, and red patches, and even skin cancer. It's scary how the things which we need for survival are also the things which are slowly killing us. Even more scarier than the external factors of aging are the internal factors. Yes, your rate of aging is also influenced by your psychological state as well. Numerous studies have shown stress from things like depression, social isolation, anxiety attacks, and even stuff like unemployment can result in shortened DNA strands thus speeding up the process of aging. For example, in 2014, scientists in Austria examined telomere lengths of socially isolated African gray parrots and compared it to the telomere lengths of African gray parrots with a partner. And it wasn't a surprise at all that the single parrots had shorter telomere lengths than those with the mate. So now the question is, how do we stop aging? The best answer at the moment is, we don't know how to yet. And even if we could halt aging, you would still probably die from external threats like asteroids, wild animals, diseases, you get the idea. However, while we can't stop aging, we can slow it down. How? Well, it's simple, sort of. Just eat a healthy diet, limit UV exposure, exercise in healthy amounts, and try to wind down and be stress free as possible. That's pretty much the best you can do to slow down aging naturally for now. But in the future, aging may no longer be a problem. I hope you enjoyed this video.

Hello, my name is Kevin Dorn. I'm the city manager of South Burlington, Vermont. I'm here today to talk with you and my guests about a new project proposed for South Burlington's Market Street that we refer to as the Community Center, a new library, city hall, city clerk's office, auditorium, and senior center. With me today is Helen Realy, the chair of the South Burlington City Council. Patrick Leduc, who is the chair of the Library Board of Trustees, and Jennifer Cookman, who is the chair of the Recreation and Parks Committee. Each of these folks have a leadership role in providing information to the public about the vote on November 6th. So with that, I'm gonna turn to Helen to talk a little bit about the background of the project, the scope of the project, and how it fits into the community's plans for City Center. Okay, great, thank you, Kevin. And thank you, audience. And I hope if you have questions, you'll call in during this taping. You may or may not know, but the city of South Burlington has been talking about a city center for about 40 years. So this is a long time coming. And the library has been talking about and gathering some money to support building a new library for, I think it's 30 years. So this is really the culmination of an awful lot of conversation, hopes, and visions for our city over the past 40 years. To me, this is a really critical piece. Unlike other communities who have a city center that was built originally, since we broke off from Burlington and then are also intersected by major highways, South Burlington doesn't have a city center. And so through lots of conversations and visioning with the public over the last couple years, we really got excited about and invested in creating a city center. The state also then, thankfully, awarded us the designation as a TIF district, which will allow us to help create a city center on open land at this point, which is rather unusual for the state and the country. There are TIFs all over the country. But so we get to start from ground zero and think about how to envision and grow a city center. And this building that is on the ballot November 6th is a really critical key piece, encompassing four really important public services, I guess, the library is the largest piece of the building. Then a very important and needed senior center, as well as relocating the services of the town hall with a clerk's office, very accessible, and then city offices. And then importantly, something that we envisioned and included in the design is an auditorium that can serve all of those entities, as well as the public. So it's really a critical gathering place and draw to our city center that's in the TIF. Helen, the land that has been acquired through an option by the city was not adequate really to provide space for the building that has been designed.  The public may, we will show a slide that will indicate where this facility is planned to sit, but it is right behind the Marcot Central School. And the school board and the city council have been able to work out an agreement to swap some land that can allow for the full building to be built and parking. Can you speak a little bit to what that agreement is? And there are two parts to the agreement. What the city has been provided by the school district and what the school district will be provided by the city. Can you go into that a little bit? I certainly can. It was a wonderful collaboration. And I think from most people's perspective, it's a win-win. The site, we will be in agreement and this will be on the ballot in articles one and two on the school side and one and two on the city side. This land swap as well as agreement for part of the swap. So the first piece is a land swap. It's a small piece under an acre right between or what we hope is the new community center and the school. And what this provides is really important space for parking, space for the utilities and stormwater. In fact, part of this, and you can see on the picture the yellow section is this piece of land and a little bit of the green, I guess, that will, is part of the swap. And it allows us to build our community center in a cost effective way on a small piece of property by having this right of way and easement for the utilities and the parking as a swap from the school. What they get in return is really one, having a three story public building overlooking their school. The blue portion in the picture is a new access to Marquette school, Marcot school, excuse me. Right now it's a handshake and an agreement by the current owners that the road that they use, they can use. This will guarantee access to that piece of property forever. It also improves the safety aspect of the access to the school. It has a bike path and sidewalks and parking along the blue section that is not there now, so children and their parents can't walk safely to one of our elementary schools. It also will include the city building for the school, a new access or approach for the buses that is safer and really increases the safety of drop off and pickup at the school. The other part of the agreement that's in I think article two under the city and article, I think one in the school section is an agreement that if this comes to fruition, if the voters vote yes on the first four items on the articles, article one, two and one and two for school and city, then the city hall will be moving to the new building. And when that happens, we have a wonderful building right across from the high school and the middle school that we've agreed we would first lease to the city, to the school district if they so desire, and they can move and consolidate all of their administrative services and offices under one roof into a sort of a modern roof. And then the, at the end of three years, they can renew that for a couple years and eventually if they so choose, they can buy the building at the hefty price of $10. So I think it's a win for both sides of the ledger in terms of our taxpayers since it's a city-owned building and this would be a way to address some real needs that the school district has without necessarily increasing their taxes by having them to buy a new building. So we feel it's a win-win, they feel it's a win-win and I think it's an important aspect of making this both wonderful new space for the community in terms of recreation and library and consolidation of municipal services, but also really improving the safety for central school as well as addressing some of the future needs of the school district. Thank you, Helen. This is a great example of collaboration between the school board and the city hall. As you know, both entities get something really beneficial out of the agreement should the voters approve. Patrick, I think the viewers today I really want to know more about the footprint and the floor plan, what they're going to be able to find by way of services and programs representing the library board of trustees. You've been intimately involved in the design and layout of the library portion, which as Helen noted is the largest component of the community center. Talk to us a little bit about the vision that the library board has had over the many years for a new library and a little bit about the footprint, what programs and services you expect to be provided. Sure, happy to. So the library board has had many years, as you pointed out, Helen, of talking about a new library for our community, and it's really a powerful opportunity for our community to come together and have the resources that some of the larger communities across the country and even in Vermont have that we don't have access to. So there's been a lot of effort by the public as a whole, as well as the library board of trustees, the parks and recreation and the city to design the space that we think is the right fit for South Burlington. So I think we're going to throw a picture up on the screen of the first floor of the library. As you'll see on the bottom of that screen, there's a vestibule where you'll walk in and you'll have your first entrance into that building. And that'll be a large lobby space right there where you'll be able to kind of be welcomed by the city, Paul, clerk staff, wide open space, they're very bright and airy. And then as you turn right, you'll turn into the community library or the public library, I should say. And that first spot, as you walk in, you'll be presented with the circulation desk right there in front of you, as well as a stair case to go to the second floor. And then to the immediate right, there's a library living room. So a very comfortable seating space where the community can come in and read the paper, talk to the neighbors, grab a good book and sit and relax on either cold winter's day or on a sunny summer day. And as you go around that first floor, there's an early learning literacy room on that first floor where young children come in with their parents, toddlers and infants and have access to lots of resources and programming from the library. There's a larger children's space and then a number of stacks of resources, whether that be books, DVDs and other resources that our community utilizes. And when we talk about the stacks and the resources for our community, we've been looking at this from a 30 year perspective. So we're looking at population trends in South Burlington as well as the community's use of the current library where it is now and where it was at the high school to predict the future needs. In addition on that first floor, there'll be offices for the library staff themselves as well as lots of activity rooms that are set aside for maker spaces or other activities that the programming will utilize as well as specialized rooms for different age groups. So we've talked about kind of the infant room, the children's space, there's a tween space that is also kind of anticipated there. And then we also have on that first floor an auditorium that we've already spoken to a little bit and we're anticipating that auditorium will seat about a hundred people and we're thinking that it may have a raised stage a little bit on the front and we're still working that through but it should be a great space for both maybe city council meetings, public performances of all kinds and public use as well. And in the library, there's lots, there'll be lots of public use spaces so that our community can come together and have meetings in that, have conversations, have nonprofits meet there and work together. So that is primarily the first floor, Kevin. The library spans into the second floor but before we go there, I think we'll turn it over to Jennifer. Jennifer, the city of South Burlington like most communities in Vermont is experiencing a gradually aging population and the city has not had its own dedicated senior center to date. Tell us a little bit more about the recreation and parks committee's commitment to seniors and why a new senior center dedicated to seniors and their needs is so important in this new community center. Well, first of all, I am a senior so I'm somewhat familiar with what my friends are doing and what people need. As Kevin said, seniors are a growing demographic in Vermont and in South Burlington. I think that the seniors today are not what we were when my parents were aging or the generation before that because we are staying healthier for a longer time and we are staying more active for a longer time and I think for a lot of us what we wanna do in these years after we retire or when we're in semi-retirement because some people are working later, we want to explore the kinds of things that we weren't able to do when we were so busy with our careers and raising families and so it gives us a time to explore literature or art or music or science or whatever it is that is of interest to us. I think that the challenges for people are also not what they want. I think that a lot of us live away from our families of origin and so we want to find new communities. We want to find new groups to associate with and for instance, one of the delights of my life is that I have a monthly breakfast with about 15 amazing women and we talk about all kinds of things. I think that what I've heard from some seniors is that as you begin to lose friends, you get lonely, loneliness is a problem and so finding a way to associate, to meet with people, to form new groups is really special, it's really important. Some of my friends go to the senior center in Charlotte or in Burlington but for seniors I found that we don't like to drive to Charlotte in the winter, we don't like to drive in the evenings and so being able to have a facility in South Burlington is really going to make opportunities for us. A facility creates opportunities for us to be able to gather and to be able to use that facility in ways that everybody's imagination can come up with. Can I talk a little bit? I'd like to talk a little bit to what is going to be included in the senior center. We have a very large meeting room where we can have lunches for seniors. It would hold about 80, 90 people setting up with the tables. Then the tables can be removed and we can do some light exercise classes, Tai Chi, yoga, we can offer those things now every once in a while in the city hall but it will give us more opportunities to do that. Dance lessons, square dancing, whatever people like. There will be an attached catering kitchen so that it will be a lot easier to do more elaborate kinds of rooms than just bringing in pre-made sandwiches and so on. There will also be off to the left there a living room that will accommodate about 12 to 15 people. It will have a flat screen TV so that we can, for instance, watch a movie and discuss it. That's another thing that my friends and I like to do. We like to go to the movies, we like to have coffee and talk about it. So this facility will allow Recreation and Parks programming on a scale that we have not been able to provide before and our director Holly Reese figures that right now she could program about 10 hours a day into that space. So this is a really great addition and we're delighted to have this senior center located in the library where intergenerational programming can also take place. That's an excellent point. With the school nearby and with the population that will be there, walkable to this facility, that intergenerational contact will be great. That'll also occur in the library, Patrick. On the second floor of the library, we have a lot of the adult reading rooms and teen center reading rooms. Talk a little bit about what you see happening on the second floor. Sure, be happy to. So the second floor is, as you mentioned, entirely the library space. So that floor, you go up the stairs we'll have two elevators in the building. One is largely to move to the third floor, but this one in the center will be accessible for all the community to get to the second floor library space as well as the staircase. So the second floor also kind of has a roof terrace as well or a terrace, I should say, at the front. So as you envision Market Street, you could be sitting out on the second floor of the library reading a good book, enjoying a nice summer day as well as being inside. That second floor is also filled if you look to the lower right with a lot more stacks. There's some meeting rooms and study rooms that we have been visioning, as well as a multi-purpose room in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. You'll see that space, along with lots of other spaces for reading and our stacks and our programming that happen. As you look a little bit to the left of that multi-purpose room, you'll see the Friends of the Library space, which is another community organized group that helps out with library services and sells books and other entities or other objects. The multi-purpose room, if you look in the back, has a storage space, so much like Jennifer was talking about in the senior center space, we can set that room up with tables and chairs and other things, and then other times have it wide open for other activities. So we have a lot of flexibility in how we use this space. As you look around more of the tour, the left of the graphic on your screen, you'll see another large meeting space that can be used by the public for meetings, any nonprofits or organized groups. And in the back, you'll see a digital space, a digital lab that we're envisioning with technology for the teens to use as they explore coding and other things, a teen space, and then a raised reading area, which is kind of a cool little spot that's a little bit different than the rest of the library. And that's really just great architectural design. Right below that space is our auditorium, which would have a raised ceiling. So we took the opportunity to have a raised reading area there that's a little bit of a cool spot for kids to kind of hang out with. So we're really envisioning a lot of programming happening in that. I think you can see there the wide open glass that we have there. So we have a very bright and airy space for our community to use right outside that terrace. And I would double up on what you said about the intergenerational work. The opportunities that we have in front of us there to have our youth in the elementary school and our youth just come to our library anyway, as well as adults, as well as the seniors, as well as our local democracy all in one spot. Just a huge opportunity for our community to come together and learn from each other and to grow. What a great statement. What a great way to capture what the overall vision is for this new community center. You know, Helen, the council and the public have expressed their strong commitment to sustainability issues. And in a moment I want to have you talk about the energy efficiency and the design of the building. Before we get there, I think it's important at this point to put the community center in the context of the surrounding area. We have a graphic that shows where the community center will sit in relation to other on Market Street behind the Markott School. But can you speak to exactly, so the viewers know exactly where this will be planned to sit? Well, on this picture, the red outline is our city center Tiff district. And read that far, but I think it's blue, right, is where the site is. If you come into Market Street, the new community center will be just before the curve or just after the curve. Behind us is the school, as Kevin has said. And then directly west of this proposed building is a new senior housing called Allard Square. So there'll be 39 units there of people who will be able to partake of the senior center as well as the library and walk right next door. Farther down Market Street, there's several other buildings that are envisioned. And one is a housing for affordable housing being built by the Champlain Housing Trust. And then other parts along the road are envisioned to be a private enterprise that will be building housing as well as commercial. This is kind of in the center of the Tiff district across the street, of course, is the mall, which we've seen has had some revitalization. The Tiff center goes down and includes San Remo Drive. So the opportunity to really develop this space and provide some of the financing, which I will get to for city center is really important. I think as I said earlier, we're a city without a center. We have lots of great neighborhoods that aren't connected. Well, some are connected by bike paths, but some are separated by a busy Route 7, a busy Williston Road, the interstate I-89. So we are kind of a crossroads and very important to the economic vitality of Chittenden County and the state, but it has left us without a center. So we're really, I really believe that this whole city center development with a centering building that encompasses democracy and activities is really essential for our community. And we know anybody who's driven in the area knows that Market Street is shut down right now. As it is reconstructed, but will be reopened during the holidays and will return to construction in the spring. Let's turn to the matter of energy efficiency and sustainability. I know that the architects and the various focus groups who have been working on this have spent a lot of time seeing how can we make this a lead certified level of efficiency. Talk a little bit if you would, Helen, about the various attributes of this building from the perspective of energy efficiency and conservation. Okay, well I think it's very exciting, both in the design and kind of the delivery of high efficiency and energy conservation. The roof will be a solar array. And while it won't create or generate all of the electricity that the building requires, it certainly goes a long way to offsetting that cost. And that's in perpetuity, at least as long as we have a sun. The building is designed with heat pumps which are much more efficient and cost effective. It's really airtight and well sealed and insulated. It's not net zero, which would have been an incredible accomplishment. But it's between the gold and platinum level of energy efficiency. And it was very important to the city council and I think it's important in terms of stewardship and building a building that will last 50 or 100 years to really make those investments to make sure that we can continue to efficiently and sustainably heat it and light it and have it not be a drain on our taxpayers. They're light shelves. There's kind of cool tile carpeting. So if you spill something or it gets worn, you can pick up the tile and replace it. And it looks new again versus waiting till the rug gets crummy enough that you need to replace the whole thing at a high cost. The roof, the design is kind of a stepped design. So it's three levels and the largest footprint is the base. And then second floor is a little bit smaller and third floor a little bit smaller yet. And so some of, we have terraces that people can use, but we've also designed the roof to be a green roof ready. So in the future, if we wish to add to the efficiency, energy efficiency by adding the plants to make it a green roof, we can. It's serviced by transit. So people can take the bus to pay their taxes, to go to city hall for dog licenses, to attend a meeting of one of our committees to do business with zoning and planning, or go to the library as well as using the businesses that we'll develop in this area. There's bicycle parking, the road, the marketplace road is designed to have, excuse me, a really lovely bike access as well as pedestrian. So that's a nice enhancement connecting Dorset Street to Heinsberg Road. And there's geothermal heating and cooling. So we have invested in this building to really make it as efficient as we possibly can. And I think that's really important, particularly given the most recent study of climate change on the planet. We really need to be very careful about how we use our resources for heating and lighting of our public buildings. So we're gonna set a really nice example, I think, for the community. Helen, you mentioned city hall move. The third floor of this community center is designed to house the city manager's office, city hall, planning and zoning, finance, human resources and other functions. Can you tell us a little bit about the floor plan that has been designed here for city hall? Okay, I think as Patrick noted earlier, there's two elevators. One has access to the third floor where most of the city hall offices are. Of note, I think it's important to point out that the city clerk's office that will meet their expanded space needs will be front and center as you walk in, the library on the right and the city clerk's office on the left. So that's very helpful, I think, to the public. And then if you walk down the hall, you can take the elevator up to the third floor. And if you are looking at the screen, all the blue is the new city offices. There are several large meeting rooms. There's a large one on the kind of left where Jennifer's committee can meet parks and recreation or if the library board wanted a bigger meeting room than you already have, you could use that or other public uses. There's a new in the back center is kind of a slightly separated area for zoning and planning. So we hope that this design will improve that efficiency by really having it all in one place. Then the rest of the area is really an open space design for city offices. And we understand that that really lends itself to a great deal more collaboration and efficiency. And then there are several other smaller meeting rooms and a terrace off the back for use of both the public as well as just city hall employees to go out and have lunch in the sunshine. Clearly a lot of time and effort has been put into the design of this. The various committees have collaborated on the design and found a way to all integrate their interests and their programs into one facility. I think all of our residents are interested in finding out how are we gonna pay for this? And probably the biggest question is will this increase property taxes? So start with the answer to that, if you would, Helen. And then tell us about how this project is gonna be financed and the funding sources. Well, the project will not increase your property taxes. Already embedded in your property taxes is a portion of dollars that the city council over the last six years has set aside into a reserve fund for the very time when it comes to financing our first, well, this is actually the second, public development in the TIF Center. And so we have a large city reserve fund and those dollars to fund this is about $736,000 a year. And that is already embedded in your tax rate and that is projected to be saved and set aside at every budget, I mean, the community has voted five times already to support that and that will pay for the largest portion of the project financing. If you see, it's the blue part of the pie. Then the other significant piece is the TIF portion and that's tax incremental financing and this is the added valuation of buildings built within the TIF district and 75% of that additional value which drives their property tax bill. The state will allow the community of South Burlington to retain 75% of that and use that to help fund the public infrastructure and buildings in TIF centers. They do this all over the state. It's a wonderful incentive that it really encourages and allows a community to make these kinds of investments and utilize those dollars to assist. We also have impact fees that will help fund this. We have the Blanchett fund monies that have been gifted to the city or the library board and can be used to support this. We also have a solar array built on the landfill and the income from that that goes to the city, about $70,000 a year. We have set aside for the next 30 years to help support or pay for and fund the solar array and the variety of energy efficiencies that the building encompasses. So those are the big pieces. We haven't included in this bond issue any future fundraising that the library may do. So that may in the future, depending on how successful you are, will offset the amount of city reserve fund that would be needed for this. Patrick, do you wanna address that a little bit? I know that you've been working with the board on developing a fundraising plan from private contributors. Yeah, so we've got, there's actually a nonprofit foundation now that has been created so that the board can go off and do fundraising and have those donations be tax deductible. So we're gonna start right after the vote, hopefully a positive vote on the six and then we'll start after that with a capital campaign to raise as much private funding as we can. So naming rights are a possibility here? Absolutely, there'll be some naming right opportunities from small ticket items all the way to larger ticket items. So the sooner they call you and let you know. You're right away. Let me know how much you'd like to donate. Absolutely. The better. And so there are a multitude of different funding sources here. I think a lot of people are pleased to know that the council has planned ahead and embedded and created a reserve to help pay for this. We're starting to get down to the final moments of our program today. I wanted to go start with you, Jennifer, to give us kind of a broader perspective on the integration of all these services in one building and what you're hearing out on the street from people. Well, I'm hearing that people are feeling very positive about this. I go to the dog park quite often and I ask people if they're from South Burlington and have they heard about the community center and sometimes they haven't, sometimes they haven't, but the responses have all been very positive. People want to know more. They take the literature, I give them. My friends, as I said, are excited about this, that we will have a place for seniors to be able to do programming in the daytime. And Recreation and Parks will be able to expand our program up to this point we haven't had any kind of program space to call our own. So this will allow us to do a lot more programming than we have been able to do. And I just think that the whole synergy of the whole idea of having the library serving everybody and the seniors and City Hall and the school across the street. And then one piece that hasn't been mentioned is that in a very short distance away there is a city center park that was also envisioned by the citizens of South Burlington. It's mostly a natural area, it's got a playground so that you can do this very urban kind of nicely designed activities in this building and then you can just take a little walk and you can go bird watching and have your kids climb on natural playgrounds. So I think the city has done a very responsible job of planning this whole area so that it's very inviting and people will want to be there and I think that people from other communities will want to be in this area. Patrick, thank you Jennifer. The library has moved recently. It is now in the University Mall. It had been a component of the high school library for many, many years. Tell us what a new library facility will mean. A new dedicated library facility that you have your own space and ability to program. What does that mean to the community? I think it's just powerful. I mean the ability to program all the things that our library director Jennifer would like to be able to do. I mean she's done a great job for our library so far but I mean there's constraints. So within the high school there was constraints because we were really serving two different populations in some form. And in the mall we have different constraints and I think having a public space that is really belongs to South Burlington citizens is gonna be a powerful opportunity. And as Jennifer said, with the great foresight and planning that the city has done so that we can move this forward and not have increase in taxes. Our community continues to evolve and change and new members come to our community and this kind of cornerstone of our new city center. What a great thing, a park, a municipal building, a public library, a senior center. What a great tone to set as we develop Market Street. It's great points. Helen, as we know the election is coming up in a couple of weeks, November 6th. We, unfortunately because of the complexities of the exchange of properties and so on the ballot can be a little bit confusing. It's quite long. It could be quite daunting to voters who are going in to vote if people wanna support the community center. How should they vote? And if they oppose it, how should they vote? Tell us a little bit about that. Well, the first, yes, there are four yeses that need to occur for this to happen. And the first ballot item, if you look up on the screen is ballot item number one under the city. And that, if you want to build this center, you need to vote yes on that. That provides the ability for the city to assume the debt for the building, which is 20.4 million dollars. The second item under the city talks about the land swap and provides the language to go forward with that. The third city ballot item is a wastewater project for $300,000, which we hope you'll vote for because all of that money gets paid through state and federal funds. So, well, we bond for 30,000, that's all paid for. And then under the city or the school center, there are two ballot items and you need to vote yes on both of those. Both of them relate to this land swap and then the potential or their future use of city hall as administrative offices for the city. So we hope you'll come out and vote November 6th, if you haven't already. And I personally hope you'll vote yes on all of those ballot items. I think this is the cornerstone of our city center and really important for this community. Well, I want to thank our panel here today. Each of you in your own way has spent a lot of time and effort working to advance this project on behalf of the community. As Helen notes, it's important that voters get out. However they feel about this project and other things, it's important for voters to get out and vote. Anybody who would like to have additional information can look at the South Burlington website. And we also have Sobu Life is Out, a great publication sent to every member of our community talking about the community center and also our fabulous recreation and parks programs. So please, please go out and vote and thank you all very much for this programming today. Well, thank you for your leadership. Yeah.
