Hey guys, that's Monica. Thank you so much for joining me today This video is going to be a little bit different because I actually Started to do sort of a vlog style and talked about my week And then I ended up doing a get ready with me. So this is sort of like an everyday look. I am 69 years old I'm not using any Filters, I guess you could say just lights And I'm going to just show you my my bare skin. So and I really usually have a hard time with that because my skin is Kind of icky, but at 69 I guess I really Can't complain. So anyways, if you're really curious about everything that's happened this week and watching might get ready with me Stay tuned So I watched a video this morning And It kind of really stuck with me so, um, I'm heading out I'm heading to the doctors and And then I'm going to go to the gym. Yeah, I joined the gym and I'm trying really hard guys to to lose weight but anyways this video really resonated with me and I mean, I guess I want to talk about it right because not that I'm facing many of the same types of comments but Yeah, there's like real life. So if you want real life The video was tuned the video I watched was Tammy um, ageless beauty and You know, I've I've watched Tammy for a number of years. In fact, she was you know, there was a like four or five youtubers I watched way back in the day Before I even really started talking about makeup and skincare and stuff like that And she was talking about real life versus what you sometimes see in videos real life And you know instagram life as opposed to real life, right? And it really makes me think sometimes actually a lot of times because real life is not Instagram life, it really isn't and I worry so much about the messages we are sending Our young people, you know our young Folks that feel they have to grow up and look perfect or be perfect or You know definition of beauty definition of this and youth and all of this stuff Well, Tammy, you know, she's gone gray. She's gone white. I should say she has beautiful long thick hair She's lost weight. She's very physically fit. She's doing the best she can to age Slowly, you know gracefully As I think a lot of us are doing right, I mean You know, is it okay to have Botox and surgery sure if that's if that's what floats your boat, you know, if that's what you can do Not everyone can afford it There's a couple of youtubers this one youtuber in particular that I um, I have watched go through Plastic surgery And then there's you too.  I'm sitting out again. I'm losing it.  I love my hair some days.  I think wow for 69. It's not bad But you know, this is real life glasses. I've got a little bit of makeup on I'm heading to the doctor And this video has just stuck with me And I don't know how you guys all feel but I think that The expectations of being perfect, especially on youtube is so unrealistic You know, I look at some of my videos and it's like some of them get awesome views. Some of them get crappy views And it's like when I'm real life Monica, the videos get the loudest views. It's like, okay And I can say to myself, well, why am I doing this? And I do say that. Why am I doing this? I didn't have a video up this past weekend You know, I had some really fun stuff that we did on saturday and Um I just didn't record on sunday So, you know, the expectations we put on ourselves is like It's like crazy and and I feel What in the world do I have to Talk about right if my real life videos aren't that great, which they're not I know But what do I have to talk about? Yeah, um I could talk about upcoming things that we're going to be doing This winter and plans for next year that we're trying to formulate You know, my husband's going to go through some he's going to go through hip replacement So I I don't know if they'll let me vlog a lot of that but You know, that's real life, right? And here I am going to the doctors So I'm not going to be able to talk really long But I'll probably pick this up afterwards and after the doctors I'm going to the gym I really don't know if this will ever see the light of day, but this is sort of Real life vlog All the boring stuff real life vlog Alrighty, let's see how this works. Oh my gosh um I'm going to try a little bit of a get ready with me a little bit of a chit chat So you you probably Noticed that I never came back After I had started that vlog so I'm going to probably fast forward through a lot of this because I have no idea if this is going to work or not I did buy a mirror. So I am seeing what I look like. I have done all my skincare I have done my Sunblock What else have I done? So I've done I've done basically my skincare for the morning Including all my sunblock, but I've done nothing else. I've done just a tad bit tiny tiny bit of mascara normally I put a lot more mascara on than I have right now and But I've got a tiny bit on so what I'm going to do is just kind of sort of sort of go through How I kind of do my my look anyways, I have a a very neutral palette that I'm using and With its combination of vizi art And Some of my alta I also think I have one of my old sydney grace little pans in there And what I do is I just basically do a I used to always use the Um, oh my gosh, I can't even think of the name of it Anyways, I try to do an all-over, you know, sort of with a really neutral color and trying to really blend it so that It it's sort of a bone color right and I'm right now the all-over color that I'm using is something that I picked up in alta I am using a Purple shade, this is a sigma brush. I don't normally Use any kind of blend I've got a few different brushes that I've had over the course of a couple of years So I kind of like, you know, just fluctuate between every day No name brushes and my really nice brushes that I have I have Some really nice expensive brushes that I've been gifted over the course of time And I just I just really like them. But my the way I do my makeup is kind of completely different So I put that all over color in And then I'm just kind of going from one side to another and I know it they don't even blend at this point And that's okay. So anyways Where I I'll probably at the end when this look is finished and I fix my hair I'll do an intro into the video. But if this works out, this is going to be Kind of cool because then maybe I can do a little bit more Get ready with me. But as you can see in my crease and sort of like creating a little bit of a Sort of a out of e or whatever But I usually go with the darker shade And then I kind of I will blend it. But for right now, it's just kind of like looking odd Because it is odd go back in with my lighter brush. I was kind of tap it off if I can and my lighter shade What I'm trying to really do is sort of more of an every day type of a look And then I kind of blend So I left off the day that I left off I was going to the doctors and then at the end of that I was heading to the gym because I have joined the gym I ended up joining planet fitness And the reason I did planet fitness they run specials all the time But the real reason I did planet fitness is because I could go to any planet fitness anywhere And that's what was totally appealing to me because we are going to be doing, you know, a little bit more traveling and I wanted to be able to You know Go and keep up if I'm going to lose weight I'm going to try to lose weight and I wanted to get into a routine And so I wanted to be able to keep it up When I'm not near home So I basically liked the whole idea of being able to go to any gym and that and I checked to see they have planet fitness is Everywhere like we're going to be going up to old orchard beach. They have planet fitness is up in old orchard beach area we're going to be going to you know, florida at one point and You know st. Augustine is there's a planet fitness near there and You know myrtle beach area So all of the different areas that we might go to there seems to be a planet fitness So I thought that'd be kind of cool To be able to do that because I want to really lose the weight. My doctor wants me to lose the weight I'm not getting any younger You know, I have cut back on my hours at work, but You know, I need to basically You know get into some sort of condition physical condition that Will hopefully keep me healthy, you know, hopefully keep me healthy because it really is to me. It really is about Not so much anti-aging But aging the best way I can and when I was talking about Tammy's video, I know this is all over the place But when I was talking about Tammy's video And it resonated with me It actually stayed with me For quite a while because I kept thinking about it. So I'm going to put this on here so that I can Hopefully I don't know if you guys can still see me, but I'm going to just do a little bit of my eyeliner I don't think I'm a person that can talk and and do their makeup at the same time At least not eyeliner So what I'm putting on is this is Alta Alta beauty This is Alta beauty and it's just the Retractable it's sort of like a softer liner. I don't like a hard pencil liner And it is a shade of black.  Oh my gosh So I use that I also have a really I don't know if I brought it here with me. I'm filming Here it is I also have like a brown shade Which I I kind of use the brown shade a lot and I kind of go underneath my eyes But anyways when I was watching Tammy's video and that's the video that really was kind of resonating with me And I was talking about it The you know when I was going to the doctors and all that I was really thinking about it and I'm like, oh man, I can't believe all the people that Don't like her hair or you know, don't like Her skin or her body And I'm thinking it's it's her her body. Yes.  Well, to some people we're free game, right? We can you can criticize us and And it's okay because to some people I don't think we're real, right? We're not real people to some people in their minds I don't know if that makes sense But just because I do a youtube video Doesn't mean I'm not real. I most certainly am real so But her video the whole video just kind of really resonated with me because I kept thinking to myself Wow, you know, here she is. She's got beautiful hair.  No Um, I'm not ready for it. I'm I'm just simply not ready for it Uh, I think I look old enough Without having that To be honest with you So but no so I probably wouldn't want to go that route But I respect the fact that she does and she's experimenting and and I think she looks absolutely Beautiful and I think all the people that are criticizing her because she's lost weight Um, or they don't like her long hair. They think she's too old to have long hair. I think they If they don't like tammy or they don't like her content Then they should just watch somebody else in my opinion, you know, just watch somebody else I have never ever Felt comfortable doing a get ready with me Mainly because I never had a set up where I had a mirror like right now. I bought this really cool mirror And I really really like it. I'm going to bring it with me in the motor home It's made by a company called Hollywood. It's not the real super expensive one It's just on amazon I'll link it so that you can see it, but it's made by Hollywood and it actually has like little lights It's got nine lights and you can dim them But I like it because I can actually see what I'm doing and then has this little 10 time mirror here too, but that's kind of lame But I do like it So the way I normally do my eyes Is I keep playing with them right until I feel that I have them Somewhat the way I I want them to look so I keep blending them out I might add You know more color to them. Now. This is sort of like an everyday look that I have going on I'm gonna take this hooda. This is a hooda beauty I love this eyeliner. This was actually sent to me in exchange for a Sephora text review And I did the Sephora text review, but I didn't save it Before I submitted it And you were supposed to save it and send it to them before you submitted it And I then I could never find it So I got no credit for it because I never saved it, you know, unfortunately But I do like this pencil a lot. It it glides on really nice It lasts a real long time. Now again, I'm just creating a look that For me, basically, this is this is my would be my every day my every day go to work type of a look Or, you know, hang around the house type of a look, right? Every day. I have no idea how any of this is going to come out But so normally what I do at this point in time I have this under eye brightener from Catrice I really like it a lot So I just use a very little bit of it Because it is an under eye brightener And as you can see A little goes an awful long way You guys are all going oh my god. This is how she does her makeup. She's really wacky Anyways this past week My doctor's appointment went well He Wants me to lose weight, which I knew Was going to be a topic of conversation because I've had the conversation with him before Um, and I want to lose weight, but I've had such a hard time With weight loss. It's like unbelievable. Just such a hard time with weight loss So I'm gonna I'm going to give it my best my best I've got the gym membership I you know, I'm gonna I've gone. I think since I've had the gym membership. This is my elf putty primer Now what I do with this I'm just going to stick it on my nose Right, I don't even I don't rub it in because what I want it to do is I want it to fill My pores Fill up my pores as much as possible. So I don't Really tend to rub it in but I want to make sure that I um, instead of like when you use putty, right? You want to pat it in and that's exactly What I'm doing. I'm patting it in. I'm loving this mirror It's got lights. I think I told you that it's really cool I just wish it would the mirror itself would magnify but it doesn't you have to have this little tiny little thing that magnifies but I really really really love the mirror So and then after that now again, I've already put on my Whoops, that's way too much. Oh, I know he's going to do that. I've already put on all my sunblock, etc So This is way way too much, but I'm going to still use it because I can't get it back into the tube What I'm putting on now is my Fiera The fiera concealer is the absolute best concealer I've ever I've ever used and I'm not a big concealer fan But it is the best concealer and I'm going to just pat it in because I have so much extra Because I gave it too much of a squeeze The nice thing about this concealer Is that it actually just kind of melts right into your skin Which personally I love I love that it melts right into my skin. So My scar is right here I think my scar has done really really well It really has I'm really really happy with how my scar has been healing I think that's awesome. I I think overall I'm really happy with my skin. I use my red light therapy at this morning I think I forgot what time I woke up. I woke up pretty early and I use my red light therapy First thing in the morning because I have it right next to my bed and I I'm looking for my Here it is my eyebrow pencil I you know, I use it the first thing in the morning 10 minutes. Um, I'm almost Probably on average six mornings a week. I use it some candy way. It is my red light therapy Mask it's that Really flexible. You just put it on. I just lay it on and sometimes I just fall back asleep I've also been putting it on my chest for my scar from my lumpectomy And then for my hands, I have been using and I have it out here I talked about this before current body They had sent this to me to try it and I have been using that on my hands almost Almost every day, you know and My hands still have they have a long way to go still but I have noticed that Some of my brown spots seem to be getting lighter And I had an injury here that just wasn't healing I've had it actually since April and that is healing a lot better So I love that it's a little bit more awkward because you got to put both your hands in So what I do is I get up in the morning after I've done my regular Mask and bed I get up go to the bathroom do that whole thing do some basic skincare Then I go in the living room and I usually listen to Either some sort of a audio book or something that I'm listening to and I usually put my earbuds on and I put my hands in there And so because I can't use my hands, right? I I'm not moving around while I'm doing it. So, um Yeah, I've been using it every single day just about I really like it One thing that I have been doing I've got really bad eyebrows I don't have pretty shaped eyebrows and I know a number of People that have watched my videos have said oh, you should go have your eyebrows done and all that and I just have never Have never done that But I was watching nisha sugarpuff and fluff And she was talking about how she had watched somebody and they had done their eyes their eyebrows And um, and it was so interesting because she was talking about how they Draw in their eyebrows over I have always overdrawn my eyebrows So I stop my eyebrows here the thickest part and I usually go up a little bit And then I bring my line on top of my brow So that I'm over my brow and I go pretty well out to the tail So I have I have something that looks like that now Because I this is not set yet right and I'm using my elf This is my elf. What is it brow lift? I don't have My um glasses on I do have a setting You know, um, I don't if you call it a setting Gel or whatever but that I do afterwards too, but I always start at the thickest part And I kind of go up into an upward motion And then I draw her on top So I thought it was interesting that she had talked about that and I'm like, oh, okay So I've been doing something right unbeknownst to me I had no idea right, but that's what I kind of do I kind of draw to the top and then I look at it and I fill in I bring it down a little bit more. I might fill in both sides. I try to make them somewhat equal Um, they never are equal But you know what? I do not have pretty brows I've never had pretty brows But my brows are natural And so my natural brows are uneven So just the way my brows are they're uneven. They've never been They've never this is actually LA girl that I'm using So I've never had beautiful brows. I've never had even brows. They've always been uneven Um, I have plucked them but more often when I was a kid when I was a teenager I actually used a razor on them and shaved them Because I never liked the feeling of pulling my hair out pulling my my uh eyebrows out. Oh my gosh just really really Really hard. So I go over it Of course, they don't have any any uh glasses, you know eye glasses on. I'm just looking at it I think these are okay. I think you know when they dry, I think they'll be fine So I've done my under-eye brightener Yeah, and I've got my concealer on and now lately what I've been using for my foundation is Well, I use my SD water a lot, but when I go out And it's going to be sunny. I really like this stuff. This is the SD lotter. This is their Futurist Hydra rescue Moisturizing makeup broad spectrum 45 So if you have dry skin You might absolutely love this if you have oily skin. It might be too moist um for you but I absolutely love it. So I'm just going to use my beat up It cosmetic brush And I just start to tap in I just tap in I know I'm so boring, right?  She just you know, she Toned me down because I had so many I was so blonde from Being away at the beach that it was unbelievable You know because we're up in bar harbor for as long as as we were So I got all my my haircut. So when you see the intro, you'll see a shorter haircut But so I did that Tuesday Really really like it shorter. I think it makes me look better shorter Um, I think that it's looks fuller even though that's totally deceiving because it really is not full at all Now I'm just doing a little bit of blush And this is color pop Usually I have an avon blush that I really like I have never mastered Quantoring my face I'm going to probably take a class on that again because I think that might really help make a lot But I wanted you to kind of see because I think overall my skin Well, you start without any makeup, right? I think overall my skin Looks really Good and I look at it typically in a in a ten-time mirror. My big mirror is a ten-time. I'm using molly Mally poor defender. I think I first heard about this I want to say it was Mary Ellen after 60 And I talked about this product And I got mine. Where did I buy this? I think there might have been amazon. No Coles I think it was Coles, but anyways, I really like it for removing the shine And so I don't know if you're seeing any difference on the shine or not But I do like it for removing the shine. So then I normally what I've been buying is this is the morphe spf 30 setter setting spray Now this This has a high alcohol count. So I'm kind of like, you know However, I realized when I spray this on my face and it was actually shield that kind of reminded me of that when I spray this on my face I have makeup on I'm not going to spray this on naked face, right? So I'm going to close my eyes and I'm just going to It's beautiful sunny day in new hampshire The sun is out. It is shining. It is hot out there. So I am going to let this dry On my face And then the last thing that I normally do is a little bit of a lip liner Really depending on where I'm going what I'm doing But I do a little bit of a lip liner and a little bit of a lipstick If I'm just going to be beating around at home or working from home I do very little as far as lipstick But if I'm going to be going out I tend to put a little bit more lipstick on if I'm going out for the day And then of course I carry lipstick with me so that I can always Sometimes I use eyeshadow To line my lips This time I went down a little bit more I'm super excited because I'm going to go have a custom facial I I've only had one facial ever in my life So I'm not a person that has a ton of facials and stuff like that But I'm going to go to this new salon to me And I'm going to have a facial And I'm like, oh boy. I can't wait to I'll share it with you guys. I really can't wait to go I think it'll be so much fun to do. I've never really done it. This is a super old lipstick. It's becca I don't remember the color and then I usually have a little bit of a lip gloss So that was a little bit of a difficulty with my video stopped, but anyways, um if this works out And I can you know record like this. I might do a few more Get ready with me. I never really could do them Because I never really had a spot where I could put the video together Um and have the video and then you know be able to see what I'm doing because I cannot do my makeup in that In the camera lens. I just can't so um But last saturday, I know this is so choppy.  There's like a canal Um a river rate goes under the road you go through a canal and you're on big squam That's the lake that on golden pond was filmed on if any of you remember that So we went up there. We spent the day with him. It was absolutely Wonderful took us for a boat ride. We just had so so so much fun And then this week was crazy, you know, we had some medical appointments and went to the gym Um, I wish I could say I'm down But I'm not down anyway yet. I wish I could say it, but I'm gonna hang in there So I'm super excited when I when you see this video I'm gonna film a little bit of an intro and I apologize for it being all over the place But thank you so much for hanging in there and I will see you in my next video Bye. Bye


And welcome to the May 21st Select Board meeting. This meeting is called to order at 6.33. And we are in the middle school again. We hope the final town meeting session, we fully expected to be the final town meeting session. Select Board will not meet again until June 11th, Monday, June 11th. So we're taking care of all the business we couldn't do between now and then. And that's it. So our first item tonight, oh first I'll just note that our 6.40 item, which was a temporary easement related to the bike path resurfacing and the replacement of the Snill Street Bridge, that has been postponed to our June meeting. That's not ready for tonight. But our first item is the five year energy reduction plan for the Green Communities Act application. We have Stephanie Ciccarello, the sustainability coordinator here to talk with us about that. Welcome. Thank you. I'd first like to introduce Sally Miller, who is our University of Massachusetts graduate intern who has actually done most of the grueling work of the energy number data crunching. So Sally's been incredibly valuable and helpful in putting this together.  We decided upon our baseline year of fiscal year of 2011. So it sort of goes out from there. So baseline year of fiscal year 2011 and then our target year to reach our 20% reduction goal from that baseline year between fiscal year 2016. So what you have is just an overview. Really the information is really in the tables. The narrative section is just kind of a reference to some of the things that we have in the tables, but the data is really all laid out very clearly in the tables. Sally could even talk to you a little bit about that, but we only reached a 15% reduction, actually like a tangible reduction 15% with what we have here. Then we're allowed an additional 5% reduction that can be kind of projects that we're planning on working on, but we don't actually have the calculations and the data available just yet, but it is something that we plan on doing, projects that we plan on doing. So that's where the 20% comes from and why you will see 15% on your table, just so you understand that. That was the figure that we absolutely had to meet in order to apply for the green green desalination status. So I'll let Sally talk a little bit about how you took the role to just help on a little bit. So one thing that's been really helpful in moving forward in years, that starting with our baseline year, we now have a pretty comprehensive collection of data to review every year, which they require a review every year to check in and to see how the progress is going. So things will be much more centralized and we're using one of the software or the website that they require you to use. So it's a lot easier to collect the information from here. And then, so at first we have the baseline, that's the one page is four and five and a lot of numbers. Our current energy use as a fiscal year to have more of it. And then the next table, pages 89 are the energy reduction measures. And that's happy to have you. Question about you with that question. I noticed that on baseline, you have the Jones and the Munson libraries, but they're not on table, on the second table. And I think they're a good bet for actually saving energy this year because they had an energy audit that showed there was actually a hole where the new section meets the old section. There's a lot of energy wasted going through some of what they found. And they already have 15,000 towards added insulation and a good chance of getting the other 15,000 next year for JCPC. Obviously I can't speak on behalf of that committee, but I think those are good to add because I think they're gonna show energy saving. Some of what, and those might be something that we add to that 5% narrative because we really have to have firm data and calculations, everything has to be verifiable. So anything that we include within that 15%, most of what we have are from audits, but they were things that we could pull from an engineering study. So if they have that information, we could use it. But I think at this point, as long as it's part of our 5%, it certainly can be included in the narrative as something we're gonna be working on. I think they do have some data, but you should look at it and decide for yourselves whether that's appropriate at this point or whether you wanna save them for the 5%. I do have one more question. I didn't quite understand the last section, Appendix A. What is item 3.1 on the chart to, I couldn't quite make it match up with anything. Item 3.1 is the Wildwood natural gas conversion of two boilers, so that's a calculation based on the efficiency, the percentage efficiency of the current usage. Moving forward, an improvement in efficiency. Perhaps you could make it a little clearer by saying in parans or even break next item 3.1, whatever it refers to. You mean in the table? Yeah, in Appendix, in the Appendix. Put the building name next to the item number. Yeah, I think it'll help people, at least it'll help. Other questions or comments from select board? Mr. Hayden. I just have a quick question. How does this, it looks awfully familiar, like the old Ikele climate plan that happened a number of years ago. Does this fit into that, are those similar baselines or could they be not only? No, because they're different programs that we used and that was really geared towards carbon dioxide emission reduction, whereas this is very specifically energy reduction, so they're similar, but not identical. Okay, other questions or comments, Mr. Wall. Okay, I realized an unrelated thing, just that Mr. Chikarello is going to be doing a tour of the solar proposed area on the landfill in the near future and we might want to alert our viewers to that. Yes, it may have been advertised as June 9th, unfortunately I had a conflict, so it is actually Sunday June 10th from two to four and I'll just be rocking people when they go in. So I'm talking about the blue wave proposal that was submitted to the town and just giving some information about what was proposed and as much information as we have at this point, which is nothing definitive and I have been very clear that this is not a definitive proposal right now, it's what was proposed by blue wave is what we'll be discussing. Thanks, Mr. Ian. Two things and they're both numbers, one of which I don't know, which is the amazing effort that goes into this. I do remember from our old energy task force days sort of wrestling with these numbers of the ground and so I might be more appreciative than most on what's in this very efficient document. Also the second number I do know because it's written down here, 15%. And that's not bad for the first go-around and we have to really appreciate the effort on Ron's part and Stephanie's part and getting to that. And so. Thank you. Really it's a wonderful amount of data here and something for folks to be able to really reference all in one place. It's nice to be able to go wow, holy cow the town has really done a lot of amazing stuff so thank you. And I think it's the state's program really honestly followed the guidelines and they set up the math energy insight data tool which is an incredible resource and I think that people should be aware that the state has really done quite a bit to sort of move cities and towns within the commonwealth forward on this issue so I think we can definitely think that. Excellent. Other questions or comments? This is Anthony. Yeah, just wanted to thank Stephanie and Sally because this was a lot of work to pull this together the criteria for the Green Communities Act, a lot of collaboration coordination necessary with a wide range of town staff and it's coming together. They're literally on the cusp of submitting our Green Communities Act application later this week. And so onward and upward from there we're hoping to hear good news by early fall I think or in the fall. Oh actually we would find that a lot sooner than ever. Okay and then it's you know with state help some assistance in implementing many of these over the next five years so it's good stuff. Other questions or comments? My only comment was on page 10 on part six list of resources just making sure you realize that part's not filled in yet. And so tell us what's the select board's role in this why are you? So the state would like a letter from Mr. Musanti stating that the select board has reviewed the overall plan and will adopt the plan for the town so that the town will actually commit to following through with this five-year energy plan. Okay, is he enough? I don't know, 15% enough? I look at it, let me think about that first. You think we're going to surpass that because we have some other audits in line too so I think it's going to work out a little bit more. And so this is a framework for us and as we get into individual projects or think of new ones, it will be constantly reassessed and we'll come forth with proposals you know primarily through the capital budget but in some ways through operating budget as appropriate and go from there. Great, other questions or comments Mr. Brewer? At some point, not in probably, certainly not in this submission but perhaps as an additional reference for when we have it here as Ms. O'Keefe pointed out this is a great reference plan. It would be helpful reflecting back to something that Stein said a little while ago to have a list of the buildings that aren't included in this plan just kind of to the side saying you know future buildings just so that then there's again that complete picture of where our buildings are because I know we're going to have a different facility as a plant that we'll be seeing but somehow and maybe just having that will be enough but somehow it needs to be referenced that yes we know we have these other buildings but those buildings aren't part of this right now that's a future thing. This is not every single building we have which is what probably a lot of people would guess looking at this and so we just don't want to confuse things in the long run but like I said your submission wouldn't need to include that but some place and an additional list. And I know you're gonna believe it when you see the final tremendous product. Our building needs assessment plan. We'll have a matrix in it. It's mostly about the condition of the building. That's an easy reference guide but we can be working when this gets out the door to think about how they're linked together and cross referenced as well. So then you can see things such as that. Right exactly like some chart in that future report that just has a column for green community. Energy ERP for us. ERP. Thank you. Okay. If I could need one final acknowledgement. I just want to personally, Sally and I have really had to rely a lot on town staff and everyone that we asked for information has been really wonderful and forthcoming with it and understood our timeframe and was really helpful. So I would like to just acknowledge that it's such a great cooperative group of people to be working with and I want the public to know that as well. And especially Ron Bahonowitz has just been absolutely amazing in this process and I really am not sure that we could have done it without his help. So I just want to let people know too that we're very lucky to have him. Thank you. Ms. Stein give a wonderful thank you to him at town meeting the other day as part of the JCPC report. It's good to have some celebration of all his excellent work. So thank you. All right, are we ready for a motion on this? Ms. Stein. I move that the select board approve the five year energy reduction plan. We should put a date on that. I guess dated what draft of. I would say the draft. She's suggesting draft. Submitted five, you know, reviewed by 21 or something like that. All right draft reviewed May 21st. Second. For the discussion, Mr. Hayden. Just a quick question. Do we want to include which is part of the green cities? You know, which is part of the green cities. You know, green land, the Green Communities Act.  But I want to just hook it into the Green Communities Act that we are also filling with this piece of it. Sure. So to be submitted as part of the green community's application. Yeah. All right. And I assume your second holds for the amendment. Yes, my second. Further discussion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. That is unanimous. Thank you very much. Good luck getting to the finish line on this and thank you. That's amazing work. All right, 649. So we don't, oh, we do have a bunch of untimed items to deal with. The night, which are just minutes as far as I know. The folks had a chance to look at the minutes. I did not. Okay. They're very small, but on the April 9th, one Spignetti has one tea, not two. And then on April 18th, under the Common Petroleum License, I would put a rent after frozen yogurt franchise from your world, because we have to. I know it says it down afterwards, but it fits better there. Which means it was on April 18th, page two, I believe. Just adding another one to it, so they don't get separated from each other. Yeah. Okay. Had trouble remembering the things I actually spoke to. That was pretty funny. And then for April 26th, I don't know about Jim Wong, but I was surely at that meeting. And Jim, I think you were, too. No, this was actually a Thursday morning meeting. This was to sign the war answer to them. It's the wrong one. April 30th, I was definitely at that meeting. Oh yes, you just carried over the absences. Okay. And then go back to the, okay. And Jim, I think you were also. Yeah, I think it's correct. Okay, so then back on the 26th, I would put after the town manager's explanation what it was. That is a typo in the previously passed article on funding for Memorial Pool needed to be corrected and have town meeting approve it. Because it's kind of hollow without some explanation of exactly what happened. So that's my opinion. That's it. Anyone else, Ms. Boer? While you're including all that, what turned, you know, one sentence is now a long, two sentence, seven minutes, but part grant should appear in there also. Okay. So Ms. Boer says reference part grant also. In that sentence. It's giving them a sentence. It looks too much like old fashioned select board minutes. Not new fashioned select board minutes. That's all. All right. I have nothing else to say. I just had a couple of typos and location corrections and stuff that I can get those to. Oh, okay. All right. Ms. Steinberg, would you like to make a motion? Sure. I move that the select board accept the amended minutes of April 9th, 2012, April 18th, 2012, April 13th, 2012, April 26th, 2012, and April 30th, 2012. Second as amended. As amended. It's 20. I said as amended earlier. Oh, okay. The dates weren't quite right, but that date was wrong. For the motion. 23rd instead of 13th, but yeah, it all works out. Yeah. Where's that? He said 13th, but that's okay. Instead of 23. This is what happens when you get to the seventh night of town meeting. That's right. What are you gonna do? Okay. It's been moved in second and further discussion. Fever say aye. Aye. Aye. That's unanimous. Okay. Other items. As far as things related to town meeting, the finance committee is going to make the motion on article 30 about referral when we took our position to not recommend your support referral. We weren't sure how the logistics of that would happen, but finance committee is gonna make that. And so then I'll be speaking in support of their referral motion. Other things related to town meeting. We certainly expect this to be the very last night. We would not be intending to come back for anything on Wednesday. So that means we don't meet again until June 11th. One of the things that you should be thinking of between now and then is our traditional wrap up discussion. Any thoughts we had about how town meeting went? Either for our own processes, other folks' processes, the kind of feedback that we can give to other folks. This is a little bit longer between the end of town meeting and our discussion of that. So before you just purge it all from your memory banks, you might just make some notes to yourself because we will have that discussion on the 11th. All I have to mention anyone else have anything about town meetings specifically we want to talk about? Mr. Walsh, y'all ready for tonight? Article 27. Ready as you'll ever be. Okay, anything not related to town meeting that folks want to mention? I'm just going to pass down a handout that I would have brought to you anyway at the table tonight since I put them on the back table myself. It's mentioning the second of the two Amherst Focus Regionalization Public Forum that we were required to have is being held on this Thursday the 24th at ACTV. And it's on the town website, et cetera. But this is a follow up to article one because we said at that time that we weren't sure which day it would be in May and now we know. Thank you. Ms. Walsh. Can we have everything in local coming up? Yes, part one of that is tomorrow night at seven o'clock in the town room. That's Tuesday, May 22nd. And part two is the following Tuesday if I'm not mistaken, the 29th. And that's going to be about talking about whether we can create a place in Amherst that is a total venue for local. Food and products, so. That should be exciting. Also coming up is the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, the 28th. We gather on the town common. I think it's around 9.30 or something. The parade starts off at 9.30, so you want to gather at the Spring Street Lot area in 9.15 or so. We'll do the traditional route down to the Memorial area at Community Field. I have a ceremony there. Bob Romer will be the featured speaker this year. Another Civil War Amherst history lesson. Similar it was talking in the fall, it should be great. So this is, as I understand, the first year that we will have had Memorial Day when we know the graves of the Amherst Civil War, African-American Civil War veterans, is that right? So they'll be marked this year for the first time. We do most, but they weren't marked for some reason. They weren't marked, okay. There might have been one or two. I think he determined some others might have been missing, but basically, yeah. Perfect. So that's it. I don't be good. All right, anybody else have anything to say before we move on to the final town meeting session? Speak now or phone roll your piece. Ms. Brewer. Oh, briefly, I voted against the local. Historic District and I have based on all that's happened since we so long ago took that vote. I'm now in support of it. So do we need to do anything? Would it be appropriate to do anything official associated with that? Or just ask Mr. Wald to mention that or what, for the process oriented? That's a good question. What would be the right way to handle that? I mean, it's not like town meeting where we have to have a big motion for reconsideration, maybe, but. I think that's a nice point for Mr. Wald to just emphasize that when we originally took our vote, one of us opposed it, but because of all the good things that have happened since then, the select board now is unanimously in support. Mr. Hayden, of course, accused because he was. Oh, yes, thank you, Mr. Hayden, thank you. Right. Okay, thank you for making that point. I just wanted to make sure that we didn't need to do anything in the summer. Okay. Ms. Bain, did you have your hand raised? No, well, yeah, I was gonna move for adjourn. Oh, that, yes. All right. We're going good with Mr. Hayden moving for adjourn. Then without objection, this meeting ends at 6.58. Thank you, and we'll see you a couple of weeks.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question which says that evaluate 1. Limit x tends to pi by 2 1 minus sin x by cortex 2. Limit x tends to pi by 2 1 minus sin x by cortex n-hôpital's rule states that if fx and gx are the two functions such that fA is equal to 0 and g of A is equal to 0 then limit x tends to A fx upon gx is equal to limit x tends to A f dash x by g dash x. With this key idea we shall proceed with the solution. We need to find the value of the expression limit x tends to pi by 2 1 minus sin x by cortex. Now if we put the value of x as pi by 2 in the given expression we get 1 minus sin of pi by 2 by cortex of pi by 2 which is equal to 1 minus 1 as sin pi by 2 is 1 upon cortex pi by 2 which is 0 which is equal to 0 by 0 so this is as 0 by 0 sin. Now we use n-hôpital's rule which states that if fx and gx are the two functions such that f of A is equal to 0 and g of A is equal to 0 then limit x tends to A fx upon gx can be written as limit x tends to A f dash x upon g dash x. Now using n-hôpital's rule we have limit x tends to pi by 2 Now differentiating the numerator with respect to x we get differentiation of 1 with respect to x is 0 minus of differentiating sin x with respect to x we get cos x upon differentiating cos x with respect to x we get minus of sin x which is equal to limit x tends to pi by 2 minus of cos x by minus of sin x which can be written as limit x tends to pi by 2 cos x upon sin x. Now on putting x is equal to pi by 2 in the given expression we get cos of pi by 2 by sin of pi by 2 which is equal to cos pi by 2 that is 0 upon sin pi by 2 that is 1 0 by 1 is equal to 0. Therefore the value of the expression limit x tends to pi by 2 1 minus sin x by cos x is equal to 0 which is the required answer Next we have limit x tends to pi by 2 1 minus sin x by cos x. Now if we put the value of x is pi by 2 in the given expression we get 1 minus sin of pi by 2 by cos of pi by 2 which is equal to 1 minus sin pi by 2 is 1 and cos pi by 2 is 0 which is equal to 0 by 0. So this is also of 0 by 0 form so using 2-Hopitans rule we have limit tends to pi by 2 Differentiating the numerator with respect to x we have differentiation of 1 with respect to x is 0 minus differentiation of sin x with respect to x is cos x upon Differentiating cot x with respect to x we get minus cot x square x which can be written as limit tends to pi by 2 minus of cot x upon minus of cot x square x that is limit x tends to pi by 2 cos of x into 1 upon cot x square of x can be written as sin square of x. Now putting the value of x as pi by 2 we get cos of pi by 2 into sin square pi by 2 which is equal to cos pi by 2 is 0 into sin square pi by 2 that is 1 square which is equal to 0. Therefore the value of the expression limit x tends to pi by 2 1 minus sin x by cot x is equal to 0 which is the required answer. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.


Welcome back Mechanical AI. Did you know that Declare's Auto devises an engine based on the Auto Cycle which was twice as efficient as other cycles of their time? This makes us wonder, what is the Auto Cycle? Before we jump in, check out the previous part of this series to learn about what cogeneration is. Now, there are certain assumptions for AI that we need to consider before studying the Auto Cycle. It starts with the working fluid which is air. It continuously circulates in a closed cycle. Air is considered an ideal gas. All the processes in ideal power cycles are internally reversible. Combustion process is modeled by a heat addition process from an external source. The exhaust process is modeled by a heat rejection process that restores the working fluid air at its initial state. And finally, specific heats are assumed to be constant at 25 degree Celsius for air. Now, we'll look at the Auto Cycle using processes. Process 0, a mass of air is drawn into the piston or cylinder arrangement at constant pressure. Process 1 is an adiabatic compression of the charge as the piston moves from bottom dead center to the top dead center. Process 2 to 3 is a constant volume heat transfer to the working gas from an external source while the piston is at the top dead center. This process is intended to represent the ignition of fuel-air mixture and the subsequent rapid burning. Process 3 to 4 is an adiabatic expansion also called the power stroke. Process 4 to 1 completes the cycle by a constant volume process in which heat is rejected from air while the piston is at the bottom dead center. In the final process 1 to 0, the mass of air is released to the atmosphere in a constant pressure process. Hence, we first saw what the air cycle assumptions are and then saw what the auto cycle is.


Hey friends today, we are checking into Bay Lake Tower here at Disney's contemporary resort We're gonna have ourselves a little staycation and I want to give you a grand tour show you the room and also all the amazing Resort amenities and then later on tonight. We're gonna have dinner at chef Mickey's. I am so excited any hoos Let's go do this Bay Lake Tower is one of my favorite resorts to stay at I feel like it offers so much and tonight We're actually gonna be staying in a theme park view room So we're gonna be able to watch enchantment from our balcony, and I'm so excited to do that I'm also very excited to go eat at chef Mickey's later on tonight That's over at Disney's contemporary and that's a character dining So we're gonna be able to eat some food and hang out with Mickey goofy Pluto and all of our friends And I haven't been there since it first reopened and this would be my first time going back And I'm excited to see if it changed at all We're gonna get all checked in and explore the resort a little bit And I just love walking in the main lobby here at Bay Lake Tower The artwork is amazing and it actually has a unique smell to it too. I think all resorts have like a special smell Earlier I was talking about how the resort has some amazing amenities and look at everything that you can do here We've got trivia at six o'clock movie under the stars Mickey tie-dyes a campfire where you can actually make some S'mores you can rent out a boat you can rent out a cabana and they even have a 50th anniversary Celebration pool party. So this is gonna be fancy. Oh, and they had the 50th anniversary s'mores too. I've had those those are really really good Whenever I come to check in at a Disney resort I always come a little bit early because sometimes you can get your room early And I feel like you pay so much for these rooms you might as well stay as long as you can and I've been getting rooms Sometimes as early as one o'clock, but today the room is not ready So it gives us time to actually walk around and explore the resort a little bit and be able to show you guys some of my favorite little sections a Lot of people don't know that right to the left of Bay Lake Tower They have a full-sized basketball court over here and it's kind of like tucked away And I think it's really really fancy because it has such an amazing view and it's super windy out today So I think we're gonna explore around this area a little bit It's actually a basketball court and a tennis court and it's right on Bay Lake So you can be like literally playing and looking out at it's such an amazing view and I really love that Look at how beautiful it is over here It's a full basketball court and a tennis court and I don't think they supply the basketballs over here I think you'd have to get it from the community hall, but it's right on Bay Lake So it's so beautiful and to the left of the courts. They have this nice Serenic walking trail that looks so nice. I think I'm actually gonna go walk it It looks like you used to be able to go down right to the water right here, but they put up a rope there I wonder why they did that Yeah, it seems like they had like a little bit of a walkway that took you into the beach area there But they have a rope there, but we can still walk along this side. They even have some signage down there So I don't know I guess it's a no-go area Might as well just go for a nice little walk around the resort as we wait for our room to get ready And then once it's ready, we'll go up and I'll show you the room and give you a room tour and it's very breezy out So you might hear a lot of breeze in the microphone, but I'm feeling great like this is really really nice They have a nice little grilling area back here with picnic benches and like I said, you're right here on the water You're a you are on Bay Lake and this was the path that I was talking about before I wish we can go down there I mean that would be so pretty I know that they have a separate beach and it's over there you can see it actually tucked away So we're gonna see if we can go to that little private beach and this used to be the walkway to actually get to the private Beach they probably did it because of the alligators and the snakes you can see the signs are posted right there To get to the private beach you actually have to cut through the pool area because that's how they keep it So private because you have to use your band to actually get in so we're gonna go down there and just kind of hang out for a second It's actually right over here But I wanted to stop and show you guys the fire pit area and this isn't where they actually make the s'mores This is where you can come and hang out and watch the electric water pageant. It is so so cozy over here It's one of my favorite places to come and relax. Maybe we'll do that a little bit later on But now let's let's go hit the beach up Right here look at this beach access and you have to press this little button and I'll let you in And I think I just got my text that lets me know my my rooms ready, but we're down at the beach. Look at this So cozy it's like we got the whole beach to ourselves. I don't want to go to my room yet I can chill out here. Holy moly. What a view. I love it It does look like our room is ready, so we're gonna have to go up, but isn't this just amazing I love it I could spend hours sitting out here. It is so beautiful out. It's not even hot and it's just so crystal blue skies And there's so much wind. It is so nice. I just love being on the water I really want to go rent a boat and just go out there Like because I can rent like a pontoon boat and just go drive it around big lake and I don't know I feel like I should do it. I feel I that's kind of what I want to do Since our room is ready I think we're gonna head up to the room get all of our stuff in there And then I'm gonna go over to the marina and we're gonna see about renting a boat and just going out for a little bit You know, I'm here to relax and enjoy and that's something I really want to do. Look somebody's out there right now Looks like we are on the 8th floor and there's 16 floors here up a lake tower And of course all the way at the top is the top of the world lounge, which is sadly not open yet It's not open. Disney hasn't announced anything I know that it did open up for bay lake guests for new year's eve, but it hasn't reopened since and Yeah, we're going up to our room And here we are room 7 8 1 8 Let's head on in fancy I love bay lake towers room layouts. I think they are so cool. So we're going to give you the grand tour But first let's head right out over to the balcony. I want to show you the theme park view Oh, wow, I can see Cinderella castle already. Look at that and space mountain. This is impressive, isn't it? Holy moly.  Isn't it so beautiful? I love it. I can't wait to watch the fireworks later on from right here We're just going to sit on our balcony watch the fireworks. It's going to be right there. It's going to be right there Stare at the monorails. It is such a beautiful day. I love disney world. I love just staring out at it Here comes a monorail right now That gets me so excited. You can see the buses going back and forth Oh, man, tron. It's coming along pretty well. This is this is great. I'm very excited I believe enchantment is at eight o'clock tonight And this is going to be the first time i've seen enchantment from one of the monorail resort rooms because Anytime i've ever stayed here at bay lake tower. It's been when there was no fireworks or happily ever after So this is going to be my first time to see enchantment from a theme park view room and i'm very excited And also did I tell you how much I love bay lake tower rooms? I mean, I love the incredible rooms But I love mickey mouse so much more bay lake tower still has the uh Contemporary mickey artwork in its rooms and I love it. You got mickey in a spaceship there mickey above the bed But one thing I noticed I feel like the TVs are getting smaller Like and some of the other resorts. I remember being much more bigger Looks like we got a smaller tv there got a nice little entertainment center And I like how they have like a separate kitchen area Like that's like one of the best things about staying at bay lake You have your bathroom over here and then you have a kitchen. You have like a little kitchen app It's got a coffee Maker it's got toaster microwave. It's got a little mini fridge fully stocked Then we got some cups and plates up here in ice bucket.  I mean it's good for you if you want to come make your uh do your makeup here Hi Let's see what they got going on in the drawers here. We got some of this We need some french vanilla creamer though. Oh the 58th anniversary coffee though Hey, you're coming home with me Well, well, I'm gonna need one of them though. So we'll put that back in there and then Nothing in that probably got a trash can and some dish soap. Oh, what kind of soap do we got here? Oh, we got the laundry detergent the laundry detergent is coming home with me some hand dish soap That's the fancy stuff They got laundry detergent, but I don't think there's a washer and dryer in this room So I don't know why they have laundry detergent in there, but I do like it Right next to the kitchen. They've got a little closet over here And it's not big enough that you can lay down in it, but I mean it's a nice size closet It's got a little safe inside there. It's got a luggage rack. It's got some pillows and blankets up there Very nice, but I want to show you the bathroom and there's something pretty unique in the bathroom First of all, I like the bathroom doors. I like the slidey doors. I don't know why I think those are so cool But can we talk about the toilet paper? Look at the toilet paper It's upwards. It's not like on its side. I feel like this is very fancy Can you control like which way it goes? Nope. I guess it just stays like that Might be a little loose though. Yeah, it looks like it's loose I think people were trying to pull it down beforehand because that's what I thought first too But that's pretty fancy.  It's got to be really cool If you get excited about the littlest things like toilet paper being upright Then you'll find out that you'll have a lot of exciting things happen in your life Other than the fancy toilet paper holder, they do have a nice little bathroom though It's not like a stand-up shower.  I always think this is fancy You can hang up your clothes. You can just put it right there. Bada bing bada boom So that's maybe why you need your laundry detergent. You can do it in the tub Also, it's important to point out that they have the H2O products in the little individual bottles not locked up in the shower And I think that's kind of really cool because I've been staying at some rooms where they have the h2o locked up Get a free the h2o soap shampoo Conditioner all the works body lotion facial soap all the novelties and all the sundries I do want to point out that even though they do have smaller TVs in here They have dvd players they've dvd players in the rooms And I believe down at the community hall which we're going to go check out They have dvds so you can actually rent them out and bring them up to your room and watch disney movies And I think that is so awesome See take a look at that nice little dvd player, but what is this? Have they not heard of hdmi yet? Holy moly I feel like maybe uh, they need a technology boost here in the rooms. Oh nice little remote Actually got a remote for the dvd player too. Those are actually hard to come by. I feel like everyone loses the remote to a dvd player It also looks like they got a pull-out sofa and the bed looks comfy as well Four pillows on the bed though, they do have the extras But nothing tops the Polynesian the one time I got eight pillows on the bed when I walked in I was like wow that is really really fancy I think pop century has eight pillows on the bed too like they give out a lot of pillows over there It definitely passes the comfy check though Very very comfy Now that we're all checked in I gave you the grand room tour let's head down to the marina and see about renting a boat and Just hang out down there our reservation for chef mickey's is at 5 30 and it's only 320 now And also I wanted to point out that it's only 320 and we got our room Like I think about 245 so just because it says check-ins at 4 doesn't mean that you can't get your room early And take advantage of all of it take advantage of all the time you get to spend in this beautiful resort Yeah, mickey above the bed I also vote bailey tower for having the prettiest elevators and there's probably a huge echo here But they have some very fancy elevators You can see we got some hidden mickey's there and also look at the views I mean look at this furniture too. It's so contemporary ish. I love it, but wow That is so amazing, isn't it and there's the basketball court that we showed you earlier on Right there and over there beyond the water. That's where all the boats go at night All right, let's head out and see about that boat. Let's see about a boat Other than boat rentals they have so many things you can do down here. They have pool tables They have foosball tables table tennis. They have miniature golf They have bachi and also I wanted to stop in the community hall which is over here And this is where they do a lot of that fun stuff. Oh, it looks like they're doing one of the tie dye classes in there Oh, I don't want to go in there and interrupt them now So we'll have to check that out later But that's where you can get the dvd rentals and all the other sports things you need like tennis rackets or basketballs And here's a little bit of the miniature golf and then bachi's on the other side. I think it's really nifty So like I said before I wanted to see about coming out and renting a boat You can rent one of the pontoon boats yourself and drive it around Bay Lake And I think they do it by half an hour. I mean the only added benefit is you're out there by yourself But also you get to just stop and sit and relax It's such a nice day out I just want to go out and sit in the water for a little bit on a boat And the contemporary side over here has the Rome beach and where we want to go is right over here to the boat nook And that's where you can rent out the boats that they actually have I like the beach over at bay lake a little bit better. This one isn't so private Here is a look at the pricing for the boat rentals. It's 45 dollars for 30 minutes 90 dollars for 60 minutes And that's up to 10 people so you can go out on bay lake for 30 minutes and bring 10 people for 45 dollars Super super cheap and awesome. You can also do the firework cruises 400 dollars And that's also 10 people but that comes with a lot more add-ons. So today. We're just going to take the pontoon out You don't need any special license to drive the boat and it's not that difficult as long as you can drive a car You can drive the boats here the pontoon boats and uh, yeah, we're going out And here are the pontoon boats and we're about to load up and go out on the sea or go down the water and I'm excited Now that we're in the boat I'm going to give you a rundown of the pontoon itself And this is the same pontoon boats that they would take out for the firework cruises and I love it I've done this multiple times and it's just so relaxing and peaceful Now it's going to be a little bit windy as we go out here But you have everything right here the steering wheel the throttle Then you got some bluetooth radio right there your gauges and you're just out on the sea Look at that So you can't film like I can't film why I'm driving so I actually have to have it shut off So that's why I'm just kind of sitting here and I'll set up the camera why I actually drive But it is so peaceful There's bay lake tower right here and then the contemporary and we can drive it over to seven seas lagoon The wilderness lodge fort wilderness You can actually even go to discovery island if you wanted to which is right there I think we'll go take a see at discovery island and then over in front of cinderella castle They also give you a trusty little map that lets you know where you can or cannot go And that comes pretty handy and there's two different sides. So you got bay lake and then seven seas lagoon over there I love this so much It is so beautiful It literally makes me just like kind of just feel so happy and giddy Right here is the abandoned discovery island and you can see the little docking area right there They even have the warning sign for alligators and snakes over here, but uh, It's pretty pretty amazing. This is about all you can see really can't see anything else. It's still kind of cool though A little bit of abandoned disney right here Here is another dock with the little bit of the go away green around it So you really can't tell But this is so interesting that they just have Something just sitting here kind of just rotting away Just gonna sit out here and relax right behind me is like the discovery island Like I said, it reminds me of Jurassic park and it was so cool I wish I got to see that let me know in the comments if you were able to see that Or if you were able to see river country, that's in front of us actually Right there is river country now soon to be a new resort. Look at it It's all demolished nothing there and i'm shocked. Last I heard they stopped construction for I think it was called reflections Is the new resort they're going to put there and over there is uh fort wilderness and then the shoe tree That's where all the cast members throw their shoes on. I wonder if we can get a close look at that There's it looks like there's a lot of actual shoes on there But how cool is it just to like just sit here and relax just sit out on bay lake and just Chill out and reflect on everything That's what I love coming out here for reflection. Maybe that's why they're calling that the resort makes sense And there's the shoe tree look at all of those shoes on there You got a couple of them floating in the water and it's guarded by those birds up there So can't come take any of those shoes the birds will get you Now like I said, let's make our way over in front of the castle We're gonna pull right up to Cinderella castle You can actually uh go right up to where the ferry boats actually take you to uh magic kingdom But before we take off that way look at it from here Isn't that so amazing and the Cinderella castle is right in between the contemporary and bay lake But we're gonna head over this way and we're gonna go over a water bridge That's gonna take us over into seven seas lagoon I wanted to just come by here a little bit slow to see if we can catch a monorail come Above us. Oh and there comes the one right there. Here it is. I wonder if we can get it to honk at us from here We are oh my lord, there's another monorail coming the opposite way. So we're on a boat Underneath two monorails. I feel like this is like a a tail Wow Wow, that is so cool I told you if you get excited about the littlest things it's amazing how exciting life can be We have to wait until the ferry boat actually makes its way across All of the transportation boats have the right of way So you have to stop and wait for them and it's almost there and then we're going to be able to continue I can almost see the castle from here though. It's just right about there And there she is Cinderella castle. You can see the train station We're right in front of main street usa actually we are like right if main street usa went all the way to We would be on main street usa. How cool is that? So amazing. This is really an unbelievable experience It is so so windy out But I think we're going to head back to the contemporary now got the grand fluridian right over here And I don't want to go back actually, but we are going to be more like we're being charged by the half an hour So I can't be out here forever. I think I've already elapsed an hour Most of the time I just kind of sat here and just relaxed I pick up the camera whenever we're stopped and show you guys some things, but it's just about being out here. I love it How amazing was that? I love it so much Seriously, it's one of the best things to do on property It's definitely a hidden gem and also like coming out and just being in this general area itself It just makes me feel so happy. I love being over at the contemporary resort And now it's time to head on into the contemporary and go to chef mickey's I'm really loving today. Today has been a wonderful start to a nice staycation Just going out on the boat hiking around bay lake going to chef mickey's now I love it I hope you guys don't mind long videos because I feel like this is going to be a long video because after chef mickey's We still want to see the fire the fire pit. We also want to watch the fireworks So there's still a lot more to come after we go to chef mickey's and it's going to be a long video So let me know in the comments. I hope you don't mind long videos because I like making them I like making fun adventurous vlogs Our table is ready and now it is time to eat this used to be a buffet And who knows it actually might become a buffet again in the near future A lot of the disney world restaurants are switching back But now it's kind of just family style still and I love it. We're heading on in though Honestly though, I love the theming inside chef mickey's. I love everything. It's so pretty because it's chef mickey's So it's full of mickey itself But like I said before it used to be a buffet and this was like the buffet line itself And there's a mickey right there And I think we're back here So we actually have a table in this back room here and you can see all the different mickey art all around too And I love it Even mickey little chairs. Uh-oh It looks like the chef's coming out mickey's coming out soon Chef mickey's is $59.99 for adults and then $35 for children. It's all you care to enjoy They're gonna bring out all the fruit to you and it's served family style and plus it's character dining So mickey and mini and all of our friends will actually be around and you get to take selfies and say hi And they sing and they dance. It's really really awesome There's mickey himself Hiya pal came to check on the food. I'm excited chef mickey in the house Very very cool. That's the way. I know I'm here for the prime rib I know that is the way Oh, oh, yeah, it's all good so far. I'm excited. Yeah, absolutely compliments to the chef Thank you mickey. Yeah, we'll see you again For starters, they bring out some nice focaccia bread and this bread is so amazing Usually you get like the regular dinner rolls whenever you come to restaurants like this But I love the focaccia bread here and then they also give you some salads to start off with One of them is a chef mickey Caesar salad Which is this one and then they have a citrus poached baby shrimp This one's really good because it comes with cilantro lime Broccoli slaw and then they have a plant-based salad right over here. So Lots of salads lots of things for the starters Everything is kind of all pre-made up there. So no matter how many people are sitting at the table They just bring out the regular amount. So like me by myself. There's no way I'm going to eat all the salads or also all the food So it's hard to actually get seconds, but I do like the shrimp. I love this shrimp right here. So fun I think I'm going to grab some of my focaccia bread But I'm so excited for the prime rib. The prime rib in the turkey is phenomenal here Look at how soft this focaccia bread is. It just tears apart like oh So good. It reminds me of like a real nice garlic bread as well And look at the little table caddies. Isn't these so amazing? I actually seen these at Forever Vintage the video I just made the other day They had them down in the store. They were selling them. That is so cool. I should have got one. I didn't know it was from chef mickey's We saw chef mickey before and now here is chef mini Absolutely. I like the little cupcake on your dress. That's very nice. I'm excited. I can't wait to try the desserts later on They're gonna be good. Did you make the desserts? You did. Oh, wow Fancy pastry chef mickey. I mean pastry chef mini. Yeah, very very good. Well, I'm excited Well, thank you for coming over and saying hi. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Bye. Have a great day If you have dined at chef mickey's in the past when it was a buffet It always had a bad reputation for basically being like kids food. I love kids food I think it's always the best but since then they really matured the menu a lot And i'm gonna show you like some of the adult offerings But i'm also gonna show you the children offerings too because I love a little corn dog nugget The cast member that's taking care of me wanted to bring out everything so I can show you guys And she brought out a little sample plate of the kids offerings You get a little mac and cheese some chicken nuggets some corn dog nuggets some tater tots some broccoli So that's really good. And i'm gonna eat this like I do love corn dog nuggets. You know what I mean?  I'm a big kid.  I mean I would be honored I know I I understand I understand but thank you for the offer I love it very good. Yes. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you for the great food. I love it Oh Oh, you're the best donald Thank you drinks are included in the price and I got myself a little honor Oh and there is the goof look at that. Oh, yes, I love it You're the best goofy. Did you make a lot of the food today? Yeah. Oh, yeah, lots of good stuff. You've been baking up a storm back there. You deserve a break Yes Thank you. Goofy And here is the main event. They've got a nice potato gratin with a little mickey parmesan crisp That looks so so good. Doesn't it look a little mickey parmesan crisp? I remember last time I came here I didn't know what that was then we've got succotash turkey prime rib green beans carrots We've got gnocchi over here Look at that gnocchi.  I'm a little shocked, but you can see I'm peeking over here It's bluto Look at that Hi, bluto I hope you're having a great day. Oh, I love your whiskers. Those are my favorite. They're very springy. Yeah Oh, and I love your collar too. It's a little pluto frying pan Wow, that is really awesome. You're the best now.  That's tough, right? I think I would want to be a taste a taste tester. Yep. That's how I'm me too Well, thank you so much bluto. Have a great one. Bye I'm pretty positive that chef mickeys has the most characters actually being great out of all the active character donnings right now Because you get donald, bluto, goofy, mickey, mini you get the fab. Well, you get the yeah, you get the fab five But uh, I don't think anywhere else has that. I think they're always missing either donald or uh, bluto I'm pretty positive about that Let's dive in here though. I love the succotash and I love these carrots These carrots were like my favorite carrots. I think I've ever had on property Oh, it's so so good. And then the prime rib too And it comes with a little caramelized onion on top. I don't know if they give you any ajú though I would like to see some ajú, but we're gonna have to Get some right over here A little bit of turkey with gravy and like I said, they give you the same Like amount of portions whether it's just you or if you're by yourself You know what I mean? If it's just you or you're by yourself I think that sounded a little funny So no matter what I'd get the same amount of food if I was here with three people or if I was here just by myself I'm not gonna do like a full full dining review because it's more of a staycation But I do want to show off the prime rib because It's so so good and it's all you care to enjoy So if you do want more prime rib anything that you want you can just tell them Hey, I want some mixture of that and they'll bring them right out. So cheers to the prime rib These carrots though are so so good Man, I do love me some carrots Now the succotash is the succotash is pretty good But I like the succotash at the land or at the seasons and Epcot it is so so good And plus it has vegetables that were actually What's it called grown on living with the land? Whenever I kind of lose track of what I was about to say I always say what you're gonna call it What you're gonna call an A dot Oh, oh, it's time to make the biscuits Making the biscuits that's the way Oh, man Donald is cracking me up over here and now they're all gonna come around and dance and it's so fun Look at Mickey with the dance moves there Biscuits in the elven I think now I'm gonna dive into some of the gnocchi here and it looks really really good. Look at that You get like a whole pot and this is really hot so you gotta be careful Don't mind if I do Now we're definitely gonna want to save room for dessert because they have a great dessert trio Or like a dessert platter that I love even like with a mickey mouse a mickey moose dome cake The reason I think this is probably one of the best character dining is because right now With all of the restaurants closed They have the most amount of characters like I said and also you don't need to have a park ticket Like you can just come here and come to the contemporary and you get to meet mickey mini and goofy And you don't have to go in the park So families that actually visit down in Florida and they want to have like a chance to meet mickey mouse And they can't afford to go to the parks. They can always just come here and you get to meet them So I kind of like it a lot now things might change in the future When restaurants reopen everything like that, but right now I feel like this is the best And here are the desserts and I love the contemporary resort plate You can actually get this at forever vintage two and we've got a strawberry cheesecake cake right there And it says contemporary and little chocolate Then we got chef mickey apple pie and then the little mickey mouse or mickey moose domes And the bottom's an Oreo. So I can't wait to dive into these I love this apple pie though.  I didn't finish a lot of this food though to be honest like there was a lot Oh, and I think she's bringing me more. You're bringing me more. Oh Oh, yeah, gotta have the cookies Now we gotta try some of the strawberry cheesecake. Look at that Don't mind if I do That strawberry cake is so amazing so rich. I love it I don't know if I like that more than I like the apple pie. That's gonna be a tough decision But we have to crack open a mickey a mickey dome here Oh I lost it there. Look at that mickey moose Now we're all finished up and it's time to head back outside And I think it's still daylight out, but I think the fire pit's already started up So we're gonna head over there and check that out next Looks like there's a little bit of daylight still left over So we're gonna make our way right on out here then Also, I love how you can hear mickey's voice in the elevator I wonder if you're gonna be able to hear it when we get down here. Hold on We're going down Isn't that so cool Right on over here is where the campfire is now This isn't the fire pit where you get to sit down and relax This is where they have the s'mores, but I still want to come over and check it out Here is the fire pit and they are doing s'mores and the 50th anniversary celebration when you have to pay extra for But it's just kind of cool to hang out here and Sit by a fire There is no way. I mean, I would have loved to make a s'mores, but Huh chef mickeys are so so much and now it's completely dark out, but it's so beautiful here Look at the contemporary lights turn on and I think we can actually head on over behind Bay Lake now Maybe now the community hall is all emptied out from everyone doing their tie-dye And I can show you around in there before we head up to our balcony to watch enchantment because don't begin enchantment is at 8 o'clock tonight Here it is the community hall and it is empty in here It's not anybody really in here, but it's mostly for kids, but I want to show you where you can grab stuff They have special things like build a magnet build a button build a keychain And here are all the binders of the movies that you can rent. I don't even know. You guys had our rated movies here Wow, that's kind of fancy Like you wouldn't expect that I want to see what kind of rated movies you have in here I thought it was only going to be like Disney movies, you know Only a bad Santa That was the first one that popped out How funny is that Deadpool dangerous minds? This is really really cool So that community hall is really really awesome. I had no idea they had our rated movies though Like that blows my mind bad Santa And then what was the other one that we pulled out like I was kind of shocked by oh con air con air was on there Let's make our way up to the room though and r.i.p Top of the world lounge. This is where you would normally check in at But no more. So I guess we're going all the way up Now we're back inside the room and we're going to get ready to sit down and watch enchantment from the balcony I can't wait to see what it looks like.  I I like drinking coffee after dinner And uh, it's always fun to have a coffee and watch some fireworks Also looks like they put away the good silverware now. They give you individual plastic silverware Too many people were starting to put it in their purse probably Not me though There we go. That's what we need the good stuff Cheers Much too hot. Oh, but so so good. Oh, I loved I I don't know why it's I mean it's good coffee But it just reminds me a happy mornings every time I take a sip of disney coffee I just kind of get this like happy feeling, you know Now let's go make our way out to the balcony just about 30 minutes to go 30 minutes until enchantment So we get to just sit out here and relax Oh my lord, I just realized this is my first time being able to see the monorails with the lights actually going by at night here too That looks so cool Wow Also, I'm a little torn because the music isn't pumped into the balcony. It's only pumped in Like in common areas at the resorts and stuff like that So if you want to hear the music really good, you can either play it on your phone And uh, you can play it on the tv, but you'd have to like somehow cast it to the tv This tv isn't set up at the fancy Programming like at Riviera or anything like that. And I think you could still hear the music a little bit from here So we'll find out but if worse comes to worse, I'm going to put it on my phone and then just record from my camera But I'm loving this and the fireworks should start soon Um Awesome was that I love just sitting on the balcony Vibing and just really having a great time drinking coffee watching the fireworks One of the things that I like about enchantment is the gigantic shells that they actually Or the burst that they actually set off and you can see a lot of that above space mountain from this point of view Uh, the music, you know, the music is you know, but I did get it played up on my phone I don't know how well it's synced honestly I don't know if it's even going to be usable Like I don't even know if it's going to be usable when I go to edit this because I just thought I'm like Maybe I might get copyrighted. I don't know but I'll figure it out somehow and uh The important thing is is I had an amazing experience just sitting out here and enjoying it and uh, yeah, that was It's pretty amazing But now I think it's time we get to bed. I love sleeping in these beds, especially where mickey mouse above it I hope you guys enjoyed the video and I say that as my Outro, I always say I hope you enjoyed the video because I enjoyed making it because I truly do Enjoy making these videos. This is the best thing I've ever done in my life And being able to share that with you guys and being able to present something that People get to watch and take joy in is the greatest feeling ever and it's everything I've ever wished It's my dreams come true really and tonight is like today was just one of those remarkable days Where I came to a resort with my camera and I just had a great time Just me by myself bringing you guys along and showing you how I would like relax at a resort and it was amazing Absolutely amazing. So I'm so happy that you guys enjoy making the videos and as long as you keep watching them I'm gonna keep making them and it's just it's it's phenomenal. So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye


Welcome to Rogue Gear Reviews. I'm Mark from RVLove and today we're talking about the Lynx Leveler's leveling blocks. Stay tuned. Welcome back to Rogue Gear Reviews. Again, today we're talking about the Lynx Leveler's leveling blocks. They are leveling blocks to help your RV get level in an unlevel site. They come in a pack of 10 for about 28 bucks and they're modular plastic leveling blocks and so they can stack them directly on top of each other or you can stay locked in place on the side or into corners if you need a big large space. Each time you put an additional block gives you an additional one inch of height. Most of the time you're going to be using them just forward and backward trying to get your RV level. They're made of plastic so they're relatively lightweight, but they're extremely strong for being lightweight. These are able to handle weights up to 40,000 pounds. Sometimes you'll see people using wood and they stack the wood, but because the wood just stacks on top of each other they're not as secure as something that locks in place like these modular design of these. They have a 10-year warranty. They're made in the USA. They're about eight and a half inches by eight and a half inches and when you have the full set of ten, it's about ten inches tall. We have four sets of these because if I need to lift the RV up five high, I usually need two sets of these blocks, but I also need to be able to put blocks underneath the jacks because once you lift the coach up or the motorhome or the RV of any type up higher then now the jacks have a further distance to reach the ground. By having these blocks underneath the jacks, the jacks don't need to extend as far giving you a much more supported and planted feel when you're set up in camp. When we started off on our travels, we inherited this set of yellow blocks and they broke and cracked and we had about six or eight of these and they just have not held up nearly as well as these orange links levelers. So these leveling blocks are really important to be able to give your RV the proper support because you don't want to be lifting your RV up off the ground so the suspension is dangling down. It's not as safe and definitely not as secure and planted of a feel. So I like to be able to have our suspension well supported by the blocks and speaking of support, I like to also put these caps on. These are sold separately in a set of four for about 16 bucks, but they go right on top. They don't add additional height, but what it does is it allows a very smooth and consistent surface so that your tire is completely supported all the way across and so that your leveling jacks would be able to touch down and not be trying to find their way in between the raised portions of these leveling blocks. Now with each of these add about one inch of height, so if you were to stack five of them, you'd be gaining additional five inches of height for your leveling blocks. So what do I think about these? We have had these since we first hit the road. We've been using them full-time for four years. We still have the original set that we bought. They have not cracked or broken. They've been very strong and consistent, durable product. They are so easy to use. They're only seven pounds, so they're lightweight even though I have four sets of them. We absolutely love them because we use these at almost every single campsite we set up at in four years. That's a lot of use and they've really held up to that, so I recommend them highly. So here we are in a campground that is perceived as being very level and yet I'm using blocks to stack up underneath the tires to raise them three high and I used another four high blocks underneath the jacks because I don't like to extend the jacks as far because I feel they're even more stable with less extension. So again, I highly recommend these links leveling blocks. We've used them extensively and been very happy with them in over four years of full-time travel. One other thing I wanted to make sure to point out in this video is you know when you're taking them out and using them in almost every site you start to learn how to put them away efficiently and I wanted to show you this. If you stack them right side up and then put the bag over them it's a very efficient way to pack these back in the bags. They're nicely stored for the next time you use them. So if you have any links levelers or if you have any questions about these please leave your comments or questions down in the comment section below. We'll of course put links to both the links levelers blocks and to the caps in the description. If you have any other suggestions or products you'd like to see us review here on Rogue Gear Reviews please leave those in the comments as well.

Land use diversity can theoretically have a significant impact on biodiversity at large spatial scales, but the importance and generality of this environmental component are uncertain. This study shows that regional land use diversity constitutes a key factor associated with bird regional taxonomic and functional richness worldwide.

Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industries finish up $3.26, NASDAQ down $32, S&Ps up $14.5, Gold contract up $16.20, trading at $2,002 an ounce, yet Silver down $0.03, $24.12 an ounce, Light Sweet Crew caught the bid big time, up $4.74 at $80.41 a barrel, notes and bonds, a 10 year note, up $26 at $1.1517, the 30 year up a full point at $132.04 and $Kingdala, $Kingdala down $476, trading at $102.037, the Euro at $109, the Yen at $132 and the British pound at $124.01 USD. We take a look at the market out here, well first off the 10 year yields folks, check it out, we're at $3.4, we're at $4 only two weeks ago, so that is a monster move and you know, we'll see how this shakes out but I got a feeling that those yields have peaked out which would be just a mind blow, but that's what it looks like. We go into the spy, what do we have inside the spy, what we have in the spy is that it had volume on Friday, and you get light volume out here today, but the bottom line is that the swing point out here is hanging out big time, which is where 410, 418, 31 is hanging out to get tested. Inside the NDX100, now this is a big number inside the NDX100, so this is going to be really intriguing to see if in the next three days they can run it, because it looks to me, this is a holiday week, it looks like they're going to run it, that's going to be less volume, that being said though, the bottom line is the next swing point and the queues is $3.34, and we're at $3.20, the number it took out was $3.13, and we're at 7 points over $3.13, you know, when you do something like that, it's like, okay, you're going to go for it, you know, because a failure would have to get you back under $3.13, and we go into the gold contract, gold contract is in a high-end consolidation, now what will be interesting here is, you know, gold had volume today, rejected lower price, and it's going to be, it's going to be all about this U.S. dollar, it's still about the dollar, now the dollar did not hold price today, and is it the lower end, you know, you know, we'll see how this shakes out, the strength of the dollar, the bottom of the strength of the dollar was $1.01, $5.46, we went to $1.01, $9.80, this looks like it's going to test it, have a great night folks, have a safe night, come back and visit Tommy tomorrow and he kicks us off, 9 a.m., great show folks, real, look at him folks.


All right, first up on top secret, Jephler. Hey, Jephler, what are you working on? So I've been working on creating a self-contained retro computer using Adafruit Feathers. So here we have a CPM emulator called RunCPM, and I can, for instance, go to my BDrive and run the famous game of Zork. But basically, it's a fully-featured CPM machine like some folks would have used in the 1980s. And it's independent of a laptop computer with Feather that has the USB host controller, SD card reader, which is where the software lives, and the Feather with digital video output. So this is also running the CPU emulator. And this converts the USB keystrokes into serial and sends them over here. And as a result, you've got a whole computer made out of some Feathers from Adafruit. All right. This is an update to the SGP-40, which is a popular gas sensor that we've stopped from since Syrian. The SGP-40 does air quality. This one adds NOX, so like nitrogen oxides, I guess, is how you pronounce it, sensing. And it's pin-compatible, so I spun up a quick board for this. Okay. You don't say did this. This is the SHT-41. We stock the SHT-40 and the 45. The 41 is kind of like in between. It doesn't have as good as 45 SHT-45 precision, but it has kind of the pricing of the SHT-40. So it's kind of like not too hot, not too cold, wait in the middle. Okay. That's our top secret for you.


When we want to launch any new initiatives, we can go to Dylan and he will look at it, he will consider it and then he will put it in such a way that the staff can understand what it is we are asking them to do. So for example we are able to now get DCF into our maths lesson because they can use coding to implement the work in maths as far as geometry is concerned. Maen nhw'n gweld, mae'n ffordd o blodd i'r hyn o'r mynd i'w gael i'r stylu a'r bwysig, ond o'r gweithio'r cyflomau ar-deddliadau yma yn ysgrifennu amdano'r chyflomau i'r cwmnyddio'n ddau.

Roeddwn ni'n gweithio'r ddechrau. I've got a theory that you can be a good technical teacher and know your start as you finish your plenary. But it's that next factor, ability to inspire. And I think that's what he has. And if you look at his results over the last few years they're quite exceptional. And I think that's down to excellent teaching obviously. But it's that extra, that ability, that passion to get those pupils inspired and motivated so that they do go on to the best they can.
