r of the space or if they can be rather than highlighted be made to if they run on the exterior incorporate more into the design of the side of the building and that's everything I had so if I need member of the board is there something that you indicated that I did not cover Jean did you mention the solar on the roof I did mention that to connect with the town energy manager about solar panel programs for the roof and moving the bicycle or yes okay thanks great but she'll in addition to what you've just indicated will Jenny be generating a list for us as well I she has done in the past yes I'm I'm always generating a list and we will be fine thank you that would be great and I had additional items too okay great Jenny can I ask a point of order sure um the questions that were asked by the public are they also on some lists where I several of them had been addressed previously by the applicant if you would like to submit any that were not addressed this evening they weren't addressed to your satisfaction you're more than welcome to send an email to the board and we can follow up with the applicants okay so the questions that I kind of listed serially right so some of them I felt had already been answered by the applicant so we didn't rehash them this evening but if you felt that they were not answered to your satisfaction you're more than welcome to submit those questions to the board and we can get them to the applicant all right thank you madam thank you okay um so with this this uh list of items and again Jenny um we'll follow up and I also would be happy to um to uh review you know any list and and make sure that we have everything captured um we need to look at a date to continue the hearing to uh so Jenny I don't know if you could pull up our calendar I'm trying to pull it up right Eric uh what kind of time should we be talking about Eric yeah I think we want to take some time review the questions um with the team and then we can come I mean it's conservation is realistically to get information in for the if we were going to get in for the seventh it would have to be in tomorrow so I think as far as the hearing goes for conservation it's more of an update and the next hearing for them yes the 21st so I guess you know we're probably looking you know at least a month out here and that's probably what we're talking about anyway is that right Rachel yes yes which is uh we'll be into town meeting at that point but we can look at Jenny I believe we didn't have to look at an earlier start time yeah so if you want to meet on the 27th at like 6 30 that would be the next option you're already booked on the 25th and I still need to find a date well I think we're going to do the other daycare hearing on the second so that leaves this 27th so that'll be three fairly long evenings and take that Eric that can work for us when does the material when does the response to comments package need to be into you know for that we would need it by probably Friday the 22nd um yeah the latest is that too soon based upon conservation I think I'd like to try to hold that date if we can and then you know follow back up if based on discussions with conservation if it makes sense to push it the alternative would be fourth fourth yeah of May I'm thinking that may be more realistic but I'd like to leave that to the to our you know to my client to Pete and Jesse but whatever means that if you can't meet on the 27th this board needs to meet to continue your hearing so I think they'd probably prefer that you decide which date you want okay so so May 4th is now let me uh this is Jesse 27th would be ideal if you can get the materials in by that day I have a conflict on the fourth okay we'll shoot for the 27th let's do that thank you the girls need to be in by the 22nd yep okay all right but any other uh so uh we will look to continue this to April 27th is there a motion to uh continue the hearing for docket 3690 to April 27th from the board no motion is there a second second we'll take a vote Kim yes Dean yes Melissa yes Keith yes and I am the s as well so we will see you back on uh the evening of April 27th and that will be at Jenny 6 30 p.m. 6 30 p.m. yes thank you very much thank you very much thank you thank you appreciated all right um so that brings us to the end of our meeting we previously had covered um agenda items three through five so is there a motion to adjourn so motions for a second second uh we'll take a vote Kim yes Dean yes Melissa yes Steve yes and I'm the s as well thank you everyone for joining us and have a great evening thank you thanks goodbye bye


Welcome back to the channel everybody. For those of you who are new around here, my name is Michael, aka Dr. Cellini. I'm a radiologist subspecializing in interventional radiology in New York City. Now, many of you all may remember from prior videos that I wasn't always in the medical field. It was later on in my life when I decided to go into medical school. For those of you who don't know, I was actually in the corporate world for a short period of time before I made that decision. So I decided it may be a good idea to make a video detailing why exactly I left corporate America for a career in medicine to become a doctor.  It's a little different. So let's go ahead and get into it. Let's go. So let's go ahead and get into why I left my corporate job to become a doctor. It's quite a journey. It's been over 10 years now and hopefully it may be able to help some of you all out that are in the same shoes I once was 10 years prior. So in this video, we're going to detail exactly how I ended up in corporate America. We're going to talk about when I realized the corporate world was not for me. We're going to talk about why I hated the corporate world. We're going to talk about when I decided to leave the corporate world. Next, we'll talk about why medicine was the right career decision for me. And then I may make a weird comparison at the end. So you'll have to stay tuned till then to see what I'm talking about. So let's first get this video started with how I ended up in the corporate world to begin with. As a freshman at the University of Georgia, I was also an athlete. I was a swimmer on scholarship there, focusing almost 100% of my time on athletics. During my time as an athlete, I didn't really have much additional free time to consider what kind of jobs I was actually interested in. I was more so just focused all of my attention and time on swimming. So what happens when you don't know what you're going to do with your life or have any idea or any direction of what you're going to do in your life at the ripe old age of 18 years old? Well, you just kind of go with the rest of the people and take whatever major your advisor gives you or thinks you'd be interested in. So for me, that happened to be economics, which I didn't know a darn thing about economics when I first started that major. But I knew there were a lot of people in the corporate world who made some good money and I was surrounded by a lot of real estate folks growing up in my town in Georgia. How bad could it be, right? So I ended up graduating college with a degree in economics, which wasn't really useful because I didn't really know what to do with it. So I actually got pretty fortunate when I finished college. I had one of my prior friends who graduated before me offer me a job to work for a property management slash commercial real estate firm in Georgia. So I got this job and I found out pretty quickly that it wasn't going to be the right job for me. Once I found that out, I did what anybody interested in real estate would do. I got my residential real estate license because I didn't know what else to do. And I thought at least I could expand my knowledge and expand my horizons by doing so and maybe even do some real estate on the side of the property management gig. I actually almost left that property management job for a commercial real estate broker job in Atlanta. But after talking with them, I realized that some of them would go months and months spending all this time into deals and showing customers and clients different options to purchase. Then fast forward six months later and they couldn't afford it or financing fell through, which means the last six months of their lives was a complete waste of time. And I did not want that to happen to me. I also didn't really like being on someone else's time. So I figured the only way out of this corporate life was real estate. And then I realized real estate wasn't for me. So I was kind of stuck. I didn't know what to do. So now let's talk about why I hated the corporate world to be dealing with. So for one, I hated dragging 45 minutes in traffic to the office every single day of my life. I felt like I was wasting so much time in the car and I actually calculated what and I actually calculated how much time I was wasting one time and it ended up being almost one month time spent every year being in the car commuting to and from work, which is such a waste of time. I can't even describe it. I also didn't like performing useless monotonous tasks day in and day out just to benefit some large corporation. I had no incentive to work harder. I also felt like my brain was just kind of turning into a mashed potato because I wasn't really using it. My job was pretty easy. I wasn't challenged throughout the day. And after about two months, I had my job nailed down 100% and there was no real room to move up or be challenged or anything like that. My job essentially never afforded me the ability to think critically or be creative or anything of that nature. And I actually figured out one day I went out to eat for lunch and I was calculating a 20% tip on the bill and I had trouble calculating the 20% tip, which is the easiest math in the world.  I was like 21 or something 22. Now let's talk about when I realized I wanted to leave the corporate world. And that didn't take long. It probably took about maybe three months, I'd imagine. So it took me a good first two months to kind of get accustomed to how things went, learn my day to day routine, learn the people, what was expected me, all that stuff. I pretty much knew how to do everything. And that was pretty much it. It was the exact same thing day in and day out without any challenge whatsoever. So when did I decide to leave the corporate world exactly? Well, that was about one and a half years after I got my job at the property management slash commercial real estate firm to begin with. Luckily at that time, I had already been researching going back to school to do my prerequisites for medical school. And I actually already applied, paid my tuition and all that stuff to go ahead and start that coming summer as my first summer semester of those prerequisite courses. And I intended to plan on working during at least the summer portion and go full time starting in the fall semester of that year. Fortunately, or unfortunately, those plans changed pretty quickly because about this time about 1.5 years after working there, they approached me and wanted me to move offices, which honestly wasn't that bad. But the problem was I just moved to downtown Atlanta, which was about a five minute drive from my house instead of the 45 minute commute that I was talking about earlier. I just got there about 30 days later, they wanted me to go somewhere an hour away from where I just moved to. And I asked my vice president at the time who wanted me to move. I said, what happens if I don't want to go to that place? And her response was, well, we're gonna have to let you go. At that time, I figured out that, oh, one, they don't care about me. And two, it was a blessing in disguise, so to speak. And it gave me the impetus that I was doing the right thing going back to school and going into medicine. So even though it was a little bit tough, because I got laid off my job, because I didn't want to go an hour to another office, at the same time, it was kind of a relief because I could focus 100% on getting into medical school. So why ultimately was medicine the right career path for me? Ultimately, it came down to me wanting something more meaningful out of a job and out of a career. I wanted to make an impact on people's lives rather than just work hard to benefit some person at the top of a giant corporation. I wanted to use my skills, my knowledge, my brain to help others and to benefit society as a whole. That's what it ultimately came down to. And after many, many hours at night, thinking, researching, browsing forums, and all this stuff, I ultimately decided career medicine was right for me and I decided to pursue it. On top of that, I wanted something that challenged me on a daily basis and afforded me the ability to think critically and think for myself and think on my toes and make split second decisions because all these things make your neurons fire and keep you on your toes and keep you excited about going to work every day. Well, at least it keeps me excited about going to work every day. Also, I wanted something that was different every single day. My job, I see many different patients throughout every single day and no two patients are the same. There's always a challenge. There's always a hurdle act to overcome. There's always a part in the day when I have to use my brain and think, what else can I do to get through this procedure or what's plan B? What's plan C? I always have to have these options and be challenged on a day to day basis. It keeps you on your toes. That's all I can really say and that's what I've been looking for out of a job and luckily I found it in interventional radiology.  I have to do continuing medical education every single year, stay up to date on the latest medical trends and research and that's something that kind of keeps your brain working for many, many years and that's what I like. Furthermore, I wanted the ability to build something with my hard work. I worked for 10 years to become a doctor and become where I am today as an interventional radiologist and I wanted to use my abilities to build something of my own. I don't want someone at the top telling me how to run my practice. I want to do me, be creative, do what I want to do to help people in what better place to do that than this field. And finally, I just wanted to give a quick disclaimer because I'm not hating on anybody working in the corporate world because many people have amazing jobs in the corporate world and are doing amazing things for our country. I just happened to be not one of them. I did not have a good corporate job and for me it wasn't the right fit. Many others though it is the right fit so I just want to be clear on that. Some people like it, some people don't. Also, some people don't like blood, some people do. Well, that sounds bad. I don't like blood but it doesn't bother me. You get what I'm saying. Everybody likes something different and everything works out for different people. So I'm not hating on corporate America or anybody who works in corporate America. It's just not my cup of tea personally. So I told you at the beginning of this video I give you kind of a weird comparison about my job.  And hear me out here not because I'm prescribing alcohol or anything like that. I loved being a bartender and I realized it was because I held all of the knowledge and I had the ability to help people and give them dreams because of all the knowledge in my head. I had this whole rolodex of dreams that I could make and cocktails and I knew how to do all this stuff and I could make an awesome cocktail for them. And the best part about it was they came to me. I didn't have to go to some office to do so. They just came to my bar. I made a great cocktail with my knowledge and it was pretty rewarding. It's not, this sounded a lot better in my head. It's kind of the same thing in medicine because as a doctor you go to school learn all these treatments and how to diagnose treat disease processes and all that stuff. Which is the same thing in bartending school where you learn how to make drinks and learn all these cocktails and all this stuff.  It's the same kind of vibe just way different. But hopefully you guys can see the similarities in that and don't think I'm crazy. But I'll leave you with that weird comparison because this officially concludes this video. Hopefully you all enjoyed it. It's a little different. Just want to give you all a little insight and hopefully it'll help some of you all who are making similar decisions to the one I made over a decade ago. And like I always say, I've never regretted that decision. I absolutely love what I'm doing even though it's taken me 10 years to get here. So on that note, make sure you smash that like subscribe button, follow me on Instagram and TikTok if you don't already. Leave a comment below. I'm curious to see what you guys think. And if any of you are going through this same kind of dilemma, otherwise I'll see you all on the next video.

Well, it's official. The biggest Netflix original series ever has been renewed for a second season. Scandals and upper-class quarrels are in store for the costume drama and fans can hardly wait. But things will not be exactly as they were, as we will be seeing departures by some major characters and introductions of fresher faces. But what will the victims of Lady Whistle Down be getting up to in season 2? I'm Matt Rogers and join me today as we take a look at everything we know about Bridget and season 2. Also an obvious spoiler warning for the entire first season. But before we get into it, if you want videos on the latest movies and TV shows delivered straight to your subscription feed, be sure to hit that subscribe button and ring that bell to not miss a single thing. In January of this year, it was confirmed that season 2 is coming and shooting would begin in the spring of 2021. But not only that, the show was also renewed for seasons 3 and 4, with over 82 million households having watched the show, I'm sure Netflix didn't have to think too hard about that one. Due to the pandemic, filming for season 2 obviously faced many obstacles. It was expected that we would see the season premiere at Christmas, but Netflix confirmed this month that the second season will have a premiere date in 2022. But what will actually be happening this season? Well the good news for fans of the show is that there is a lot of source materials to base the seasons on. For those that aren't familiar, the series is based on the books of the same name by Julia Quinn and there are quite a few stories that we have yet to explore, at least eight at this point. Each focusing on different members of the Bridgerton family. In season 2 we will be following the love life of Anthony Bridgerton rather than Daphne. Phoebe Dinover who plays Daphne had this to say on the subject, quote, we're very much passing on the baton to the lovely Jonathan Bailey who plays Anthony and that will be the main storyline of season 2 and the story arc of season 2. The show centres around the Bridgetons and there are eight books and I think maybe the fans of the books were more aware of that happening than the fans of the show, end quote. Although stepping down as lead, Dinover isn't slowing down and has already booked another lead role in an Amazon original titled Exciting Times. Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, this show will follow an Irish English teacher working abroad who becomes involved in a complicated love triangle. Some of you may also know that it has been confirmed that the Duke will not be returning at all this season, so it's very likely Daphne will also continue to step back and possibly not return for later seasons. Although I've yet to get an official trailer, a first look at the upcoming season was released this week, showing a glimpse of the main protagonist going head to head. Including sex education Simone Ashley is Kate Sharma, the main love interest who according to Ashley does not lack passion. Your character is as deficient as your horsemanship, I shall bid you goodnight. Show creator Chris Van Dusen has called Kate and Anthony's relationship quote sweeping and moving and as beautiful as viewers of the first season have come to expect from the show. We left Anthony at the end of the first season at a bit of a crossroad so I'm looking forward to jumping in and discovering how he fares on the marriage market end quote. Joining Simone Ashley will be four new characters. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Taretha Chandran will play Edwina Sharma, Kate's younger sister who's a debutante searching for her true love. Shelly Kahn will play Kate and Edwina's mother, Lady Mary Sharma, Callum Lynch will play Theo Sharpe, a hardworking printers assistant and Rupert Young will play Jack, a new character who isn't actually in the books, who has a connection to one of the show's most notable families. Rupert Evans will play the late Bridgeton Patriarch and father of the siblings Edmund. It's been reported that he will likely be present in Anthony's flashbacks due to the effect Edmund's death had on Anthony. The Bridgeton social media accounts have also treated us to a further look at what Season 2 will look like and shared some screenshots, very carefully not giving anything away though. Claudia Jesse who plays Eloise in the show has said on the topic of the scripts that people are going to die when this happens and people are going to die when this happens so it sounds as if we're in for some twists and turns along the way. With the overwhelming hype surrounding this season, what are you most hoping to see? What characters do you think they need to explore more?

Okay, Luis. I wanted to make some comments on the first presentation. First of all, I guess I find it a little bit discouraging that you say it's not clear how the official results were done. About two years ago I was actually working with that survey data and helping the World Bank team help the government to come up with those results. I'm not going to fully defend the methodology. I will say that the reason why they did a fixed share with one national poverty line in 2010 was that was done in 2004. And the view at the time was that if they then brought in improvement in the poverty line like having, say, four poverty lines for the different regions instead of one, they'd have to recalculate the 2004. The NSO was firmly against recalculating the 2004 because they felt it would look like the books were being cooked. So I think it's important to think about it as we think about different ways of doing poverty lines and how to do it. It's not that I'm persuaded that was the right decision. It's just an important consideration. Now, in terms of the – I am, however, a little bit surprised by your results. Prima facie, if the food share is going up, that is an indication that people are poorer. Not perfect, right? But, I mean, we start with an angle curve and it has some indications. So I'm a little bit surprised about your bundles. The second thing I will say is that this may not be exactly on – this particular story may be not exactly on the NSO website. But what I know is that when we first looked at the national price index, the national consumer price index, and the food prices that were obtainable from the survey, the 2004 and the 2010, we noticed a huge gap between the food inflation as measured by the prices in the survey and the food inflation as measured by the prices in the market and the national consumer price index that was computed. Now, that's not unusual. The size of this gap was huge. As a result, however, some technical assistance was provided by South Africa who came in and re-estimated the food price index over that period and it was adjusted substantially upward. And it was that new price index which was used to compute the poverty line. I am surprised that you were coming up with a lower food inflation using the prices in the survey than the restated national prices, which – the poverty line done by South Africa, which was significantly below the prices that we were able to compute from the prices in the survey. So that is kind of a puzzle to me. We also did a survey to survey mapping between the two and we, of course, using mostly assets. And one of the things we noticed is that the – rural inequality ridened substantially and the increase in assets in rural areas primarily went to the upper-income farmers. So the people who got more sheet roof, for example, tended to be the upper-income farmers and the lower end of the distribution did not show an increase in assets. So that also – that survey to survey mapping should be available. If you haven't seen it, you can talk to Tala – Tala Gillip or anyone on the World Bank team that can provide it. So that also gave us some confidence that regardless of whether the levels were right, that the direction suggested not too much poverty reduction between 2004 and 2010. So I am a little surprised by your results. Finally, I would suggest that this experience with the consumer price index maybe perhaps might lead one to question the GDP figures. So perhaps it's possible that GDP did not increase at 7% per annum. I know that there was going to be further work to strengthen the national accounts. I don't know how that proceeded. There's been a lot of discussion about the quality of national accounts data in South African Africa and I won't repeat it. But it may be – it might suggest why the poverty reduction wasn't what you expected. Maybe growth wasn't actually as high as you got. Thank you for two very interesting presentations. I had a question about the first one. I just – a comment and a question. So the question is – it looked to me by the numbers that you put up there that urban poverty had fallen more than rural poverty. Is that right? So I find that puzzling given that I thought the program was targeted at the rural poor and which kind of leads to my second comment, which is, you know, you posited this as a puzzle why poverty isn't going down. But as an onlooker observer that's not intimately familiar with Malawi knowing about the food price hikes and so on in the letter half of the 2000s wouldn't have surprised me if poverty increased over that – the time period that you're looking at 2005 to 2011 because food prices spiked in 2008, right? And they stayed pretty high. So I'm just – it's just a question. And that relates to the second presentation. Have you found any way to include in your overall – your general equilibrium analysis trade? And I've heard stories about maize being locked up in warehouses and going to rot because there was so much maize. I mean, is that true? And if it is true, is there something that can be done about that? And more broadly, like, what about this FIS program as it relates to other countries in Africa? Because if everybody does this, if every country does this, right, won't there be a surplus of glut in Africa? I don't know. Maybe that's a pie-in-the-sky scenario. But anyway. Again on Richard's presentation, I wanted to ask if your inflation dates are credible. Malawi's not such a big country. You have much, much higher prices in the rural north in the first year and you have much, much lower inflation in the rural north. Why is that – I mean, is that plausible? And I mean, you said your fixed basket results give something similar to the official. They don't. The difference between the different rural areas is very different. And again, the rural north comes out here. So I sort of question the basic inflation dates of the two years. Thank you for the comments and questions. I will try to address some of them. I think my colleagues can step in as well. On the urban poverty decline that is bigger than the rural decline. I mean, we come up with a story which is very speculative that actually because urban areas are net consumers of maize and because of a massive increase in production, prices are significantly lower. They're benefiting from the reduction in prices. Also, the logistical – it's urban households that are going to benefit from transporting this fertilizer or maize or whatever to the rural areas. So it's kind of speculative, but that's one of the arguments that we make in the paper that maybe that is driving this decline in urban areas which is bigger than the rural areas. On inflation, I mean, inflation figures are dodgy. I agree with you that they're dodgy. And actually just to come back to what we're talking about, we have two sets of conversion factors that we are given by the NSO, right? So we used both. The results that we get are totally different, okay? We tried to play around with them coming up with averages of the conversion factors using conversion factors for one region. We tried different ways of fixing this conversion factor problem, but finally we ended up with what we have here at the moment. It's an issue. It's a big issue. We talked to them. Actually what we have presented here, some of the findings were also presented at the NSO to see – I mean, to have a chat with them and have a sense of what is going on exactly. But again, it wasn't clear as to what was driving this issue of conversion factors. Actually, conversion factors are a key part of what we are finding here because it seems to me that whatever we choose to convert our different unions are kind of driving what we end up getting. I've noted what you've raised about redistribution towards the upper-end rural areas. I think it's something that we can also include maybe in the paper. We have interactively started it. I think we had a meeting to remit. But through email we have kind of interacted with him. But actually we got the conversion factors from him. Do you make up your stats at only one or four? Yes. Otherwise that's the issue that I've raised. I think we make all those things. Yes, thanks Louise. I also really appreciate your comments and insights. I mean, we've been to the NSO and it's sadly – it's quite clear that they don't really know what's going on with the conversion factors, with the revision done by stats of Africa. We haven't been able to get answers from them on that all-technical documentation. Talip, as you know, is a very busy guy so it's quite hard to get him to meet with us. So it's been a struggle to kind of fully understand what went into the NSO analysis. I'm a bit concerned, frankly, about the revised inflation estimates. You have widely differing rural and urban inflation rates for food and non-food components. Particularly in the end, when they combine and estimate a national average inflation estimate, it's exactly the same for urban and rural – 128.9%. It looks like a bit of magic, to be honest. So we'd love to get to the bottom of that. So thanks for your comments. Andy, on the rural north, it's a puzzle. Again, with some of those conversion factors, the north has its own unique set of conversion factors which we decided to throw away because it's just too strange. In the north, they consume a lot of fish and cassava. And some of those conversion factors for fish and cassava had been clearly changed and we need to get Talip maybe again to explain to us. But some of these are for fish 45 times lower in the north than in other areas for dried fish. And it's a food consumption item that's consumed, I think about 40% of calories come from fish and cassava. And those two conversion factors have been manipulated to, I don't know, achieve what may be, you know, not get a 16% reduction in poverty. So there's some really strange things going on in those conversion factors. And that is something that we continue to work with. We have a colleague in Washington who's doing stuff on nutrition and he's really spent many, many hours on this and actually sent a new set yesterday which we need to start looking at. The Maggie on trade, yes. There's been lots of questions asked about where is all this extra maize. The production increase that we get of about 300,000 tons is believable. The official estimate said we produced over a million tons extra, 1.5 million.  It's not in the silos, it wasn't exported. You can't export that much maize on the back of a bicycle. So I think it's simply a case of over-inflated maize production estimates possibly to make the programme look good. And that then ultimately drives the national growth estimates as well or the GDP estimates as well for agriculture. So absolutely, I think the 6%, 7% GDP growth is an overstatement. So the truth probably lies somewhere in between. Moderate growth, moderate poverty reduction rather than... Okay, can you please take the last set of questions because we only have five minutes? Please go ahead. Yeah, I guess the issue with the food and the non-food. Did you look at the national CPI numbers for non-food inflation and how that relates to... I mean, you've got your unit values that some of us are a bit concerned about because you're looking at apples and oranges with chairs and whatever else. But it would be helpful to see that. The more I hear these conversions factors and the way you set up the paper about trying to understand the rationale for growth and poverty reduction, I don't know, maybe you have too many degrees of freedom but that's being a bit naughty on my part. Okay, my name is Haruna and I'm from Uganda. So my question is to the last presenter, Mr. Carl. So I'm much interested in the way the picture of the analysis which seems to have serious policy implications. And from that analysis, it much shows that much of the increments and the reductions in poverty much depend on the productivity of the fertilizers. Perhaps if the fertilizers still work well and maybe there is increment in misproduction and so on then you can see the reduction in poverty and so on. But my skepticism lies from the fact that here is one point or one factor which actually stands out to be responsible for the positivism which the analysis shows. And my understanding is that the earlier level of mid-welfare had a contribution of perhaps several factors. I know there can also be other factors which can also influence the productivity of the fertilizers. For instance, the quite of the soil and the weather and so on. And to me, if all these credit is given to the fertilizer section, then I would wish to know your opinion on if perhaps would respond that you would recommend the continuity of the program which is only dependent on perhaps a single kind of factor to drive an economy. And I think that's how we see so many scenarios and people think it is all this production and it's not being exported and so on. And with much of the policy makers in Africa you've got to tell him that perhaps he's going to continue pumping money into the subsidy and maybe something else needs to explain the difference but maybe not only the fertilizer. So my interest is in your opinion, your own opinion as to whether perhaps we recommend policy to actually sustain the program for some time or maybe you would limit the sustainability of the program to the same duration of time or perhaps maybe if you're not going ahead to assess how sustained or for how long this policy due to the fertilizer can go, maybe you would still also guide in that way. Thank you. I said a couple of quick questions, one for each of the presenters. On the Richard's presentation, I was wondering if you worked, I know you mentioned IHS-1 and I've dealt with it, data set. It was a little difficult but as a robustness check it would probably be a bit of work but if you could see what your poverty lines look like if you change from one to two and then two to three because it does kind of come across as you were maybe were looking for something or you had questions about three and so one to two might help giving a better full image of what's going on. And then for Carl, I'm wondering if you made any assumptions about targeting of the program. I know that there's been a lot of questions about FISP and whether or not it actually was given to kind of poor households and if those assumptions would affect the poverty reduction measurements that you came up with. Thank you. Only using IHS-1 and IHS, using all the three waves of the IHS, that would be great but the problem with IHS-1 is the coverage of the consumption model is not as extensive as IHS-2 and IHS-3. So that limits actually what you can do. And this is why actually if you look at IHS-2 and IHS-3 in terms of the consumption model it's directly comparable. IHS-1 is just totally different. You can't, there's very little that you can do I think with IHS-1. Only non-food component of inflation. I mean in the paper we talk about the official inflation figures in quite some detail. Sir? Thank you. So there is the CPI inflation rate which is quite low and then there's 128% which is higher than the CPI inflation and which was used to inflate the poverty line and then there is our inflation rate. So there's three different inflation rates going on. I think that's maybe the issue. Not the one that they used to adjust the poverty line. The official one is 77, I think, 0.3. The one that they used to adjust the poverty line is 128.9. Again, like I said, it's not clear why they used the other one. It's just... Are there too many mistakes? Yeah, sorry. I'll start with Ben's question on targeting. Very good question. It's not something that we can deal with adequately or easily in the CG model. Because this is a program targeted at essentially what we will call producers or activities in our model, households are only linked to activities indirectly via factor market. So if we want to target households it's kind of tricky because you have to target them indirectly via the activities and via the factor market. So we simply assume that the benefits from the fertilizer or from the subsidized sectors are distributed among households in the same way that any maize income would be distributed. So it's kind of neutral in that sense. It doesn't change our income distribution. The question from the frontier, I must admit I did lose you along the way. So I think maybe just to very briefly comment, I think, yes, I fully appreciate your point that it's not all about fertilizer and there are other things also that impact on productivity. That's certainly true. What we set out to do is not to... Because this is a parameter in our model when we show the sensitivity of outcomes to that parameter, what we are arguing is that we need to really understand how we can measure marginal returns to fertilizer use, which is a very, very tricky area, as you mentioned. It's about other technologies as well and weeding and rainfall and all kinds of things. And I think thus far because of all these multicollinearity problems in estimating that parameter econometrically, the work that's been done so far falls a little bit short. So we still don't really know what the right number is. What we then do is just ex ante that kind of Ketris paribus type stuff. Obviously we can recommend that farmers should adopt certain techniques as a way to improve return, but I don't think that's really the ultimate aim of the study. In terms of continuing this or having a kind of a sunset clause on this policy, again, we evaluate the impact of the program and we see that it has positive returns. A next phase would be to suggest policy alternatives and look at the impact under alternative programs. So again, I don't think what we've done here necessarily helps us understand the question of whether we should stop doing this a few years down the line. I'm afraid I think we only have one minute. If you can be quick, that would be great. Just the financing in your model of the fiscal expenditure, because you said you talked a little bit about how you took account for absorption. How is that 3% financed? Do you have a fully specified model then that does that? Yeah, we just have a closure on our government budget where we would raise hustled income taxes to finance the extra. That's not really hard to happen, but it kind of accounts for the opportunity cost. I think what government really did was reorganize their budget to pay for this. So slightly different model, but by taxing hustle, do you kind of capture the opportunity cost of having this program? Okay, our session has come to an end. I would like to thank all the participants, all comments and views and insights. It will make sense of Malawi's poverty puzzle. So our colleagues, I guess they will go back and look into all your comments and inputs to improve on their papers. So thank you very much for coming.


I'm sorry. I watched that a lot now. What's going on guys? It's my man Shaq the Bust. You can call me that. You should know we will come back to a brand new video. Today we have episode 20 of our Demon Slayer Watch. We're named Pretend Family. Now guys, of course, last episode we had that insanity that was Hinokami. Tanjno absolutely popped off. Nezuko absolutely popped off. She got her blood demon art. Ended up being called Exploding Blood. I couldn't believe half of what I saw. I literally watched the episode again. I think twice now, actually. But now we're back and we're here to see what happens afterwards. Because it does cut off quite abruptly. I think the entire flashback seeing Tanjno and Nezuko's father is very important. Mostly for the fact that we saw that Tanjno's father, he had those earrings. I think that's why Muzan originally recognized that. I don't know if he had known Tanjno's father or if they had beef in the past. But I think that connection makes a lot of sense. Guys, we're gonna hop right into if you need a channel drop a sub. Hit that big blue bell so you don't miss any future episodes. So if I like on this one, let's just hop right into it. As for what Pretend Family means, I feel like it could be the spiders.  I don't know. Plop. There it is, baby! Yes, sir! And he just fell! Dude, and Nezuko's... I feel like Giyu and the butterfly lady are gonna show up, too. Do I know her name? The butterfly lady? And wait, what about the other spider? That animation is so clean! Like, oh my God, it's too fluid. Where'd Nezuko go? Oh, they're going through it. I hope that other spider doesn't just turn on them. I mean, if not, then the fight's over. Oh, trust me. He's doing good. What? No shot is he still alive after that. What's happening?  He decapitated himself? So that he could, like, reattach it or something? I guess if it's a controlled cut. Giyu's gonna show up, I hope. Dude, no shot! Well, he's proving himself as a lower five. God, it looks so sick, though. Eyebasket? Dude, this demon is so cool. I'm sorry. There's no energy. Oh, it's more. Just one shot, everybody. The universe.  How is he so strong even against a lower five? It's insanity. Those are all webs. Oh my God. Is it air? I love it! What? That's beautiful! I do! It doesn't even affect him. Oh, please teach Tanja though that. Dude, Giyu's too awesome, man. Like it's nothing. Oh, this is when she was human? Oh no, just like a regular demon. All they must have taken her in. Oh. I think he probably wiped all of them out. He probably took her in and he said, if you want to live, you can be a part of this family. So the family was all the kids' idea. He always just wanted like a pretend sister to do what he said. Oh wow. Man, I want to know more about his story on why he wanted this pretend family though. I mean, that's like trauma built up. Oh my God. It's like unnerving how quickly he just slices all of them. And there they all are. Jesus. That's so gross, man. So he had like set rules. She said, I was the only one that hasn't messed up until now. He had rules for this family. It was like a game. He was the lower five all along or part of the 12 all along. But why did he organize? I just so bizarre. We have to get backstory on him, right? It's like her backstory will inherently answer questions. Oh yeah, we're actually getting more. Oh shoot. Was he flossed with that too? I would assume. Guessing that like turns her into a spider. I feel bad for her. I mean, I say I feel bad for every demon, but I do. There's regular people behind it. My God. He must have strict rules based on how they act. I just still hate the one that turns the other like humans into him. The way he looks. It's so gross. Even more disgusting than the father, I think.  Why does he have that toy from toy story? He forms looking one. It's like an unspoken truth. They all knew. He just commanded all of them. Oh, she isn't here anymore. Oh, and if they messed up, he just straight up killed them. So she reverts sometimes. Oh, that was the first? Oh my God. Dude. No wonder they were all scared of him. Jesus. Another more scared of him. Kind of reminds me of Muzon's power levels of how he controls all the demons just by, I don't know, the societal structure of it all. He tells them they shouldn't group up. But then they can't. Oh. She either tells and regrets it. Yeah, because she said she never messed up until now. I think that'd be a rule if she had tried to run away. Oh, she actually did. And he knew. Maybe she tells him that it was her plan. Oh, she did tell him. Oh my God. Jesus. Yeah, that's all I was going to say. She never messed up until now. Made an example out of her. Good God. Just makes it feel that much better seeing him absolutely obliterated by Giyu. Oh, and just leave her to burn. Jesus. That's insane. She's just been brainwashed. Oh, she's reverting. So I think they only revert when they fear. I'm pretty sure, because he said it would get rid of their fear if she wouldn't fear them anymore. When she feared that they were coming and the mother had been killed, she reverted. Is she even killing him? Oh. Her ball of yarn. No! Oh, dude, I thought they were trying to make me feel more bad for her. Or is it because she's... Ah, that's so gross. That's so gross. I love her, bro. What's her name? She's awesome. She's so kind. It's like Giyu, but like she's happy. She's a happy Giyu. She's cracked, too. She doesn't even need arms. Oh, now you're scared, really. I mean, yeah, but still. That does sound tragic. She's gonna say, are you a demon? Mind if you have Rick's questions on The Walking Dead? Have you ever seen it? Oh, my gosh. She's seen it all. You got a fact checked, girl? She brought receipts? Oh, that's so gross. She just wants to lay everything out there. Oh, my gosh. She's seen it all. Dang. Oh, my God. Dude, she's crazy. But I mean, hey, she's got a lot of people. She said, I will torture you. Jesus. I think she's one of my favorite characters, bro. She's crazy, but I love it. She's just a son. Oh, I do want to see her fight, though. She's so confident. I love it. Yeah, she's top three characters for me already. I don't know what it is about her. She's so cool. It's like a Giyu, but a different feel. She's so marvelous, too. The butterflies. It's like a genjutsu, too. Oh, God. Oh, my God. This is crazy. Dude, I got chills. She said she's going to... Whoa. Interesting. The heading is beyond her. But she says she's going to torture you. Oh, it's poisoned. Oh, on the blade. All these sound effects. Oh, my God. It's a poisoned blade. That's terrifying. Dude, she can't swing a heavy blade, but she can swing a small blade fast. Kocho? Kocho? She's the only one that can't decapitate, but... That is... You are rather awesome. I would have to agree. Dude, I love her. He's like, bro, you wouldn't believe what happened in there. She's barely over there. Poison well. Wisteria poison. Oh. I was like, yeah, did she develop it in a lab or something? She's just naked. She's going to go find him, but Giyu already did. Well, it's not looking good for you, but a Hashira showed up. Two Hashiris showed up. Like a human. Oh. Oh, how do they always make me feel bad, dude? How? How? How? How? I don't understand. He's pure evil. But he sees the bond. It's not fair! He's just completely evil and I feel bad! Because he just wanted to see that bond. He wanted to feel that bond. He wanted to feel like a human again.  I would have been fine if he was caring about this pretend family, but he very clearly wasn't. He basically roped them into another power structure. But my God, am I simping for coach or what? She's so sick, dude. It's like if Giyu had a little bit more personality flowing out of him, I get that his whole thing is like, ah, cool guy, yeah. But she's so sick. And that confidence, you could just tell with the Hashiris. I can't wait to meet more of them, because I'm assuming we inevitably will. We only met two, and I loved both of them. I'm guessing next episode we're going to finally see like the climax or conclusion of this whole thing. Because now that these two Hashiris are here, it seems everything is pretty much under control. But guys, that's been it for episode 20 of our Demon Slayer Watched Aluminum. We thought of the episode down in the comments below. And as always, I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your day. As per usual, I'm going to catch you in the next one. Peace, peace.
