good morning so today we are dealing with normality okay so normality testing how to do a normality testing so before that we should know what is normality what is a normal curve okay so why we are doing normality testing is because which test to be applied on the data we collected is decided by whether the data is following a normal distribution or not a normal distribution that is whether it is following normality or not so based upon we have to choose a parametric test or a non-parametric test which will be dealing later so the testing of normality is different thing all softwares will be doing the testing we don't do it normally but which test to be applied and what is normality the concept we should understand better so the normality means the data set if we are taking blood pressure of 100 people and we are putting into x and y axis so this is like a compilation of points of blood pressure okay so if we put 100 people it will come like this few people's value will be this side few people value will be this side and majority will be this side so this will be the measure of central tendency this will be the dispersion so there is one theorem okay that theorem is known as central limit theorem central limit theorem says that as a sample size is reaching up to 100 not 100,000 the data or the sample will be normally distributed so if you are taking a sample of thousand thousand people and we are checking any data we are taking thousand people and we are checking blood pressure or height or weight of that particular thousand people it will follow this curve this curve is individual values connected so it has some peculiar characteristics these characteristics okay so if it is towards thousand actually need not to be thousand if the sample is very high some 200 300 400 it will follow the normality okay so little thing a little about his history normality or normal curve it's also known as Bell's curve because it looks like a bell inverted bell and it is given by a scientist known as goes g o u s so it is also known as Gaussian distribution it is a compilation of measure of central tendency and measure of dispersion yesterday we learned this is the measure of central tendency and this is dispersion it is according to the central limit theorem if the data is sample is very high it will follow these characteristics if it is not following these characteristics we can say that the data is not no not following normality so we should go for a different testing okay so this is the basic about normality and we'll see the characteristics okay so if the data is following normality what happens is we can calculate the mean and standard deviation of any data okay so if the data is following normality mean with one standard deviation will cover sixty eight point four percentage of the population mean with stood as standard deviation will cover ninety five point three and mean with three standard deviation will cover ninety nine point seven I'll explain you suppose thousand people are five hundred people are mean is the measure of we are measuring the weight of a person okay so the mean weight is 60 kilogram and standard deviation is 10 kilogram okay just an example for around thousand people we have thousand people n is equal to thousand so we want to see that whether it is following normality or not so we calculated mean and standard deviation so now we should apply this thing okay so mean plus or minus one standard deviation that is 60 plus 10 to 60 minus 10 that is 50 to 70 or 70 to 50 same thing mean plus so minus two standard deviation that again we get like 40 to 80 mean plus so minus three standard deviation so we get 30 to 90 so the weight of a sixty eight point four percentage that is six eighty four people out of thousand will be within the range of 50 to 70 kilogram okay it should be within the range of 50 to 70 kilogram that is this one sixty eight point four percentage so it is like above the mean there will be thirty four point two below the mean thirty four point two okay so next is mean plus or minus two standard deviation that is ninety five point four percentage or three percentage should be within forty to eighty that is nine fifty three people out of thousand will be having or should be having kilogram weight between forty to eighty kilogram okay and almost all the participant that is ninety nine point seven that is nine nine seven out of thousand should be having within thirty and ninety so three people will be having values greater than ninety or less than thirty so we need to calculate mean and standard deviation we need to apply this we should see whether six eighty four people are coming within one standard deviation ninety five point four whether it is coming within two standard deviation that is above the mean and below the mean two standard deviation that is above mean sixty plus two standard deviation that is eighty okay sixty minus two to two standard deviation that is forty okay so above and below mean it should be within it should have a ninety five point three percentage and the three standard deviation that is ninety nine point seven percentage so if this follow this maths or this characteristics we can say that it is following normality so for the normal distribution the area of curve will be one mean will be zero and standard deviation will be one this is some common characteristics and mean and median and mode will coincide okay so this will be the mean median and mode okay so how the mean will be zero is when we standardize to this curve all the values above the mean and all the values below the mean will get cancelled each other actually mean will never be zero but when we standardized it okay so when we standardized it means when we put values just standard values that is if we have ten twenty thirty forty fifty so when we standardized it we put plus one plus two plus three plus four plus five like that and the similar one here minus one minus two minus three minus four minus five and like that when we add all these so we get zero that's how it is coming mean zero actually it will not be zero in a normal scenario when we standardized it so when we should do standardization is a different thing we don't do standardization in a normal case but it is a characteristics of a normal curve okay mean and median mode will coincide at the center because it will be almost same in one standard deviation it will have sixty eight point four percentage ninety five point three will be having two standard deviation and ninety nine seven point will be having three standard deviation whether it follow these things we can say that the data is following normality


Alright, the recording has begun and if any of you were disconnected while we started please feel free to, you know, I hope they connect back to the class. So we were at Acts chapter 18 and we'll require one of us to read through this passage and then I'll begin to explain it for us. Can somebody read from verse 1 to verse 4 please? Let's start there and then we'll go further. Acts 18 verses 1 through 4. Can you read faster? Yes Ash, go ahead. After this Paul left as Athens and went to Corinth and he found a Jew named Thela and meeting of Pontus recently came, come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome and he went to see them. Yes, thank you for that, Asha. So here you know we have the direction in which the journey went so from Athens to Corinth is where Paul came and over here he meets two new people. So there is Aquila and Priscilla, what do we know about these two people? They are a couple and Aquila is the man, Priscilla is the lady, they are, you know, tent makers by profession and we also know that according to the history that Claudius in AD 49, Roman Emperor Claudius, he had an edict issued in which he had asked the Jews to leave Rome for a certain period of time. So he ordered them to leave Rome and which is why these two have come to the city of Corinth and they continue with their profession of tent making and Paul meets them over here. Okay, but we will notice later there's another mention of the same couple but in the context of them teaching the scriptures. So our understanding is that Paul met with them. Now whether or not they were believers when they first met Paul, they definitely gave their life to the Lord and they grew in God to an extent where they both were teachers of the word. So they became believers and they also became co-workers with Paul. So that is some understanding regarding these two individuals and the way Paul would go and minister to people in the synagogues, he takes the same approach. So in verse 4, he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. So he's continuing with his work of preaching the gospel. So from verse 5, let us read all the way till verse 17 please. So if one of us can read it, then I can come back and explain. Verse 5 to 17, Acts 18. Yes, Asha. When Salish and Pernod arrived from Macedonia, Paul was satisfied with the work. Testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, You're blood beyond your own heads, I'm innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles and he left there and went to the house of a man named Tateus Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. Sheik, a new minister? Yes, Asha. The ruler of the synagogue, believing the Lord together with his entire household and many of the Corinthians, hearing Paul believed and were baptized. And the Lord said to Paul one night in the vision, Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent. I am with you and no one will snatch you to harm you for I have many in the city who are my people. Please go on till 1717. And he stayed a year and six months teaching the work among them. But when Galio was proconsul of Akia, the Jews, made a united attack on Paul and brought him before they tried, you know, saying this man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law. But when people was, when Paul was about to open his mouth, Galio said to the Jews, if it were a matter of wrongdoing or victorious crime or Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. Since it is a matter of question about words and names and your own law and say to yourself, if you should be a judge of these things, and we drove them from the tribe, you know, and they will, they all say, Sostens, the ruler of the synagogue and hit them in front of the tribune, but Galio paid no attention to any of this. Yes. Thank you for reading through what transpired in the city of Corinth. Now, like Athens, we have to understand that Corinth was also a well-known city. It was a port city and it was also a booming commercial center. So it is a very important city, you know, in the region at the time. And it was known as the ornament of Greece. So it was that popular thanks to, you know, trade and all that was taking place there. And even at that point, it is said that there were at least 200,000 people who lived in this large city. The city, when you have studied about or maybe right now you're doing the book of Corinthians, you understand that the city was dedicated to a goddess known as Aphrodite. And this goddess, the popularity of this goddess is that she was a goddess of love and, you know, she had temple prostitutes. So there were male and female prostitutes who were assigned to the temple. This was the important thing about Corinth, the temple of the goddess Aphrodite and, you know, all these practices. So the reputation of Corinth was one of immorality. That's how while it was known for its trade and all the commercial things that were going on, there was also immorality in the city. The city was known for pleasure. So notice how every city has a background and therefore the people also will have a certain lifestyle and exposure. And as a minister of God, Paul has to deal with what the people are coming with. So earlier it was a very intellectual city, Athens, and he ministered in context. But he never compromised the word of God, neither did he compromise the power of God. Now coming to Corinth, we will see that, you know, Paul will start his ministry. He meets with these people known as Aquila and Priscilla initially. And then, you know, he goes to the synagogue, starts preaching over there. And there is, you know, an okay response. But eventually he notices that the Jews are not open to the gospel. So he's quite angry. He's quite angry and he decides that he is now going to preach to the Gentiles. So that's what he states there in verse 6.  I am clean from now on. I will go to the Gentiles. So he makes a decision and starts ministering to the Gentiles. So then there are names of Gentiles that we can read here. Justice, one who worshipped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. You know, he goes there and he begins to minister. Then Christmas, Christmas is a ruler. So these are all people about whom we have a little, like a short description. But we know that they were definitely not the so-called high-class people who Paul went to first and tried sharing the gospel. So when they were not listening, he just went to the Gentiles. He just went to, you know, those whose hearts were open. So Christmas, a ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized. So many of the Corinthians, again, there could be so many names there that, you know, we really don't know. And Corinthians, as we say Corinthians, it's understood that these were all people who came from an exposure to a life of pleasure, sinfulness, immorality. So in the book of Corinthians, Paul will address these matters. When they become disciples, he'll talk to them about living a morally pure life and a life which is holy unto the Lord and getting rid of our ungodly practices. So he will address these matters to these Corinthians who have now become his congregation and who have now become the believers. So verse 9, very beautiful and this is how God works. We are seeing again and again how God is speaking to his ministers. He's guiding them in this passage. There is an encouragement which God gives to Paul. And verse 9, it says, now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, do not be afraid but speak and do not be silent for I am with you and no one will attack you to hurt you for I have many people in this city and he continued there a year and six months teaching the word of God among them. So God had a purpose and God had a plan. He wanted Paul to go on and make disciples, strengthen them in the word of God. However, it's possible that Paul probably got discouraged and that is why God had to give him a word of encouragement to say that keep moving on and do the work that I've called you to do and that is why there is that vision that he gets and God says, I'm with you. See that even in the Old Testament, many times to encourage God says I am with you and Paul continues with the strength of God and he ministers for one year and six months teaching the word of God among the people. So after that, there is again a stirring up against Paul and here we have an individual known as Galio who is the procuncel of Akea. There are different people who are in authority and we've seen how God has rescued his own people earlier in Philippi when the magistrates put Paul and Silas in the inner prisons how God rescued them through that earthquake. So God has a way of rescuing his people here in Corinth. People approach the procuncel Galio and they bring a complaint against Paul. Now, thankfully, just the way Gamaliel had an opinion, we saw that early on in ads. Galio, he assesses the situation in a very unique way. So he lets the people know in verse 14, he tells them if it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes or Jews, there would be a reason why I should bear with you. So basically he is saying if Paul is a person who is doing evil things, I can take charge, I can punish him but verse 15, but if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves for I do not want to be a judge of such matters. So Galio understands that the quarrel between the Jews and Paul is more about beliefs and so he says this is not a matter for the courts to decide, this is not a legal matter at all. This is something else, this is philosophical. So he says please deal with it yourselves and don't bring it to me because I am not going to judge this situation. So obviously the people got very angry, verse 16 and he drove them from the judgment seat then all the Greeks took Sostenus, the ruler of the synagogue and beat him before the judgment seat but Galio took no notice of these things. So they got angry and over here, more specifically the Greeks got very angry it says and we are told that to get the attention of the procuncel, they engaged in this, you know, this, engaged in the beating up of an individual called Sostenus and Sostenus was probably a believer also and this did not obviously, you know, get Galio back on the matter. So this is what transpired in Corinth. So the highlight that we can take back is that many were saved and church was established in the city of Corinth. We also understand that the background of these people was such that, you know, Paul had to ensure that they were well equipped in the word of God so that they could live out a righteous life before the Lord. So he stayed on, of course with God's encouragement because it was not easy. There was opposition in every city where Paul went and even in Corinth people were rising up, especially the Jews were rising up against him but thank God, you know, God made a way for Paul to escape. Now moving on to the next part here, I will read it or maybe somebody else can read it, it's always better. Versus 18 through 23, the remaining of Paul's second missionary journey, can someone read it for us please? Acts 18, verse 18 through verse 23. Okay, I will read it. Yes, Bangi, please go ahead. Versus 18, so Paul still remained a good wow, then he took leave of the brethren and sailed to Syria. And the killer and the killer were with him. He had his hair cut off at Sincrea, for he had taken a vow and he came to Ephesus and left them there. But himself, into the synagogue and risen with Jews. When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, it did not consent. But took leave of them saying, I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you. God willing. And he sailed from Ephesus. And when he had landed at Caesarea and gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over to the region of Galicia. And that's the name. In order to strengthen all the disciples. Thank you, Pastor. Yes, thank you. Thank you, Bangi. So, you know, we are looking at Paul's journey, which continues. He moves from Corinth. He comes to Ephesus. But he brings along with him, brethren, it says. So usually when they use the word brethren, it's understood that they are now believers. Because remember when Ananias went to Saul and God gave him, you know, God spoke to Ananias. He meets Saul, but he's convinced that he's now a believer. So he says, Brother Saul, and then, you know, he ministers to him. So brethren is a terminology which helps us understand that they were believers. So he took leave of the brethren. He sailed for Syria. Syria is back to Antioch. So he's trying to complete his mission trip. And he took with him Priscilla and Aquila. And it says that he had his hair cut off at Sankria for he had taken a vow. Okay, now people ask the question, why, what is the need for a vow? Jesus said, let your ESPS, let your nobi know. But you see, vow is more of something that one, one, the Jews used to practice this. They would make vows with the Lord. So it was more like a commitment which they would keep unto the Lord. And it was also something that had to do with consecration or dedication. So they would practice it for their lives to remain holy. Okay, so for whatever reason, Paul is practicing some of the Jewish things. Like, you know, we saw how the apostles, they went to the temple. They went during the times of prayer, which were appointed for the Jews. And in the same way, another practice that Paul seems to follow is the making of vows. So why did he make a vow? There can be many reasons. Some commentators say that when he ministered in Corinth, he really needed to experience closeness with God. And he really needed to reaffirm to himself that, you know, he's consecrated unto the Lord.  So he took it upon himself to spend that phase of his life in a very dedicated way unto the Lord. So it was his own personal, you know, conviction to have his hair cut off and keep this vow unto the Lord. And some commentators also say that he had to doubly keep himself dedicated to the Lord because Corinth was a very sinful place. So, you know, it was a way that he put constraints on himself to be careful and to live a holy life for God in a sinful city. So these are all explanations for why he probably made a vow, but he did make a vow to God.  Remember, we talked about Asia Minor, present day Turkey. So Ephesus is a place that's a very, very important place. We will see that the next missionary journey of Paul, the third missionary journey is a time when he will spend a lot of time.  But during the second missionary journey, it's just a touch and go. So he comes to Ephesus and he leaves Aquila and Priscilla there. He left them there, it says, but he himself entered the synagogue. Oh, sorry. This doesn't mean he left them in Ephesus, but later on, you know, we will notice that Aquila and Priscilla were left behind in Ephesus. But, you know, Paul actually moves on. He does a little bit of ministry during the second missionary journey in the synagogue. Then, yeah, he moves out of there, goes to Caesarea and then completes his journey by going to Antioch of Syria. And after that, verse 23, you know, it talks about his next journey where he says after he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples. So we will notice that this third missionary journey, which is starting off from verse 23, we have Lucas telling us the third missionary journey has started. That it will be more about strengthening the existing churches. So we may not read of new cities where Paul planted in new church, but it will be more about going to the same places and, you know, causing the churches to be strengthened. So the region of Galatia, what is that I told us? You know, we are familiar with the first missionary journey where Iconium, Listrad, those are all part of the region of Galatia and Phrygia. And so he's going on and strengthening the disciples there. Now coming to the last portion of Acts chapter 18 here, we read about Aquila and Priscilla. So Paul travelled out of Ephesus, but two people remained in Ephesus, which would be Aquila and Priscilla. So let's do this. Let's read from 24 to 28 and I will request any one of us to actually do the reading. Yeah, shall I read it? Yes, brother. Yeah. A certain Jew named Aquilos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the scriptures came to business. This man had been instructed in the ways the Lord and being ferment in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John. So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him a way of God more accurately. And when he desired to cross to Cairo, the brethren wrote, insulting disciples to receive him. And when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed from grace. For he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the scriptures that Jesus is praised. Yes. Thank you, brother Manohar for reading that. So now we are not talking about Paul anymore. So Paul has completed his missionary journey. He's starting a second missionary journey. He's starting his third missionary journey. But this is a scene from Ephesus where he left behind Aquila and Priscilla. So what is happening? There is a Jew by the name of Apollos who comes to Ephesus. The origin of Apollos, he's from Alexandria. Now, what is special about Apollos? He's a Jew one. The second is we are told that he was an eloquent man, meaning he was a good speaker. The third thing is he was mighty in the scriptures. So he is obviously a godly person who has studied the scriptures very well. And he is from Alexandria. One thing that Aquila and Priscilla noticed about Apollos is, yes, he's so good with his knowledge, but he is missing the present truth. So what do we mean by that? What God says, verse 25, this man had been instructed in the way of the Lord and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John. So he's stuck only at the baptism of John. So he's probably never heard that there is something known as the baptism in the Holy Spirit. So is he a person who is holding on to wrong teaching? No, his doctrine is very accurate. That's what we've known. But what is the problem with this believer, if we could say so? He's still stuck at a level of truth, which is not current to the times when he was living. So he did not know, nobody ever taught him about the baptism in the Holy Spirit. So that was not his fault. So when Aquila and Priscilla realized that, hey, this guy, he is so eloquent and he speaks boldly in the synagogues about Jesus, they felt that they must update him on what God is doing in their times. So they take him aside. Aquila and Priscilla heard him. They took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. So basically updating the doctrine which Apollos carried. So he would have been taught about many other things that they probably learned from Paul, which Apollos did not know. So now Apollos is equipped. He's updated. And what happens? We are told from verse 27 that he desired to cross to Achaia. So he comes from Alexandria to Ephesus, which is in Asia. Now he goes to Greece, the Achaian region. He goes to Greece, which places in Achaia, Corinth. So he goes to Corinth and he wants to serve there in Corinth. So he goes up there. So I'll just read from verse 27. And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exorting the disciples to receive him. And when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace. For he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly showing from the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. So he did some excellent ministry in Corinth. Now there are other things that also happen. We read about Paul's rebuke to the Corinthians where he says, don't be followers of Apollos. So don't be followers of me. So basically it's possible that after Paul left, there was some division among the congregation where people were siding Apollos and somewhere followers of Apollos and some others were followers of Paul. But then he says, don't do that. We are all followers of Christ and we need to follow Jesus Christ. So our understanding is that in Corinth initially we had people like Paul, Aquila, Priscilla lay a very good foundation for the believers. But later there's another person who is sent there because he desired to go there by the name of Apollos and he also continued a good work in Corinth. So there are so many names that we are not reading in acts of believers and leaders. But when we read the epistles, you will read of other names and there you will figure out these were the people who were probably raised up in these particular cities. So let's now move on. We are now at Acts chapter 19 which refers to the third missionary journey of Paul. So a little bit about Ephesus. Ephesus is also a very prominent city but this city at that time was in Asia Minor. Ephesus is in Asia Minor whereas all the other cities, we saw that they were in Macedonian and the Achaean regions. So the population of this city as well was somewhere around 225,000 people and the speciality of this city, again worship, they worshiped a goddess known as Dinah. And the temple of Dinah was very prominent and a lot of people would come to see this temple and worship at this temple and the Ephesians believed in this goddess and she was very popular and probably one of the primary reasons why tourists would come to the city of Ephesus and there were a lot of like occult practices that the people of Ephesus were also engaged in. So a little bit of background about Ephesus. Let's begin to read, excuse me, from Acts chapter 19. Okay, let's read from verse 1 to verse 10. So could somebody help us reading these 10 verses? Verses 1 to 10. While a college person traveling through the interior regions until he reached Ephesus on the coast where he found several believers, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed he oxed them? No, they replied, we haven't heard that there is a Holy Spirit. Then what baptism did you experience he oxed? And they replied, the baptism of John. Paul said, John's baptism called for repentance from sin but John himself told the people to believe in the one who would come later, meaning Jesus. As soon as they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied. They were about 12 minutes up. Then Paul went to synagogue and preached boldly for the next three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. But some believers became stubborn, rejecting his message and publicly speaking against the way. So Paul left the synagogue and took the believers with him. Then he held daily discussions at the lecture hall of tyrantness. This went on for the next two years so that people throughout the province of Asia both Jews and Greeks heard the word of the Lord. Okay, yes, thank you. So we notice here that Apollos simultaneously, Apollos is now in Corinth. So you have a leader there who's continuing the work but Paul passing through the upper regions. The region of Galatia and Fragia, we understand that. He came directly to Ephesus. On the way out of his second missionary journey, it was a rush through Ephesus. So he just stayed there for a little bit of time preaching at the synagogue. But this time around, he comes directly to Ephesus to stay there and to actually work there for a longer period of time. So in his third missionary journey, his third missionary journey is from AD 53 to AD 58. So he stays for something like three to four years in the region of Ephesus. But initially when he comes here, he notices that the people just like Apollos, we said that he was not updated with the current truth. So similarly, the people of Ephesus also did not know, the believers of Ephesus did not know about the baptism in the Holy Spirit. So we saw that discussion. He asks them whose baptism do you believe? Oh, first he asked them, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? This particular section, it reminds us that one can be a believer because what is he saying? He's saying, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? And obviously he's talking to people who already believe. But why is he asking the question, did you receive the Holy Spirit? Isn't it understood that the new birth of a believer, the regeneration as the word of God puts it, happens only also by the work of the Holy Spirit. So without the Holy Spirit, one cannot be born again. So the question, does it make sense if we only think about being born again as the context? So he's saying, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? So what Paul is saying is, he's not talking about being born again because that work of the Holy Spirit, they've already experienced. So they've received the Holy Spirit in that manner. Then what is the second receive the Holy Spirit? He's talking about a separate phenomenon or a separate experience known as the baptism in the Holy Spirit. So these are two different things. If it were not so, this question would not make any sense because when one believes, there is the work of the Holy Spirit. There is the receiving of the Holy Spirit. But we recognize it's about the baptism because as we continue, we realize that these believers had only heard about the baptism of John. So it was three, when he questions, he says into what baptism, then where you baptize, they say into John's baptism. Then he prays for them. Verse 6, when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. So can people be believers without being baptized in the Holy Spirit, without knowing about the baptism in the Holy Spirit? It is possible. And which is why Paul asks the question and leads them into this next experience, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Then what else happens? He takes time in Ephesus and he begins to speak boldly. It says over here for three months. And reasoning. Reasoning is thoroughly, very thoroughly bringing up topics which will help overcome their doubts. So in detail, he's presenting the Gospel to these efficient people. It was nine, but when somewhere hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples reasoning daily in the school of tyrannous. Okay, so notice here that synagogue was the initial place where he started the ministry. But it was not very, they were not very open. So eventually, he went to a school. It's a school of tyrannous. He continued there for two years and the verse itself tells us so that all who dwell in, dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. So it worked for his advantage. Though the people did not believe him, the Jews in the synagogue, he came to the school of tyrannous. Okay, and in the school of tyrannous, we are told that there were many people who he could minister to. We will also probably look at some of the names of these people a little later on. People from the regions that we have talked of so far. We said there is the region of Galatia, there is the region of Asia. We will also notice that the Colossian, there are three cities over there when we talk about Colossae, we talk about Laudacea, Herapolis. So the Colossian region, people from all these regions would have come to the school of tyrannous and it was probably easier for them to come and receive the word of God in this place called as Ephesus and God worked it out for Paul that he was able to, that's why I said earlier, like a Bible college. So he had the opportunity to run a school for many people in the region for up to two years and that impacted the lives of people for the glory of God. So let's go ahead, let's look at a few more verses before we close for today from verse 11 through verse 14. Can somebody read it? Probably by this time Paul gave third time to Ephesus in his third missionary journey. Aquila and Priscilla had already left from Ephesus to Rome because we don't read about them and he comes third time there for the third missionary journey. Okay. So that will be an assumption Brother Manohar. My suggestion is let's hold on. Let's complete the third missionary journey and we'll have a better idea. Is that okay? Okay. Yeah, sure. Okay, Kennedy has a question.  What is the implication? Was he cursing them or instilling fear?  Personally to me it does sound like a curse. Okay. So you know the way Jesus said like if they don't go to a city and if they don't receive you dust your feet. So it's something like that where it's coming out of his frustration that he's saying, okay, you don't want to listen to the truth of God.  All right. So I think we've clarified that. Okay. Let's do one thing. Let's just pause. Yeah. And a couple of minutes. Maybe we can have some discussion instead of introducing new things right now. So the third missionary journey has begun and we will study in detail about the third missionary journey in the next class. But based on what we have picked up so far any comments, any thoughts? Yes, Shri Kumar. Thank you, Pastor. I just want to know one thing that even though the apostles and other disciples were preaching but how they were unaware about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Like they have heard about Jesus and they were knowing that Jesus is the Saviour. But what was the reason that they were unaware about, I just want to know because that was a common thing which we are seeing in both the places. Yeah. Sure, sure, Shri Kumar. So from what I picked up verse 25 of Acts 18 it says about Apollos, this man had been instructed in the way of the Lord and being fervent in spirit he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord though he knew only the baptism of John. So my understanding is he had been instructed in the way of the Lord. So many well-meaning believers based on what we are taught we limit our understanding of God to just that. So I think Shri Kumar it's because of his teaching he was probably never taught and one more reason could be that say today we have the canon of scripture we have the Bible in our hands so we can explore but in those days they did not have particularly about the baptism in the Holy Spirit which happened just about 3380 so we are just talking two decades from then so it may be Apollos and the people who taught him God's word had missed out on this current truth of their times. Thank you Pastor. Yeah, sure, no problem. So even today we can come across good believers who may not know about the baptism in the Holy Spirit or some other truth from God's word so instead of putting them down it will be nice to do what Aquila and Priscilla did or Paul did. They just took this eloquent man of God aside and said okay come let's tell you what you are missing from the truth of God's word so they equipped him and updated him similarly Paul he asked people have you received the Holy Spirit they said we've never even heard of such a thing as the Holy Spirit so then he says okay come let me tell you, let me also pray for you and they received the baptism in the Holy Spirit yes so any other thoughts before we close? Isshri Kumar do you want to say something? No, I just want to say thank you. Okay, no problem. Thank you. So let's pray and close for today. Kung, will you lead us in prayer? Father we thank you so much for this session that we had thank you Lord that you would help us to receive and apply whatever we've been taught we thank you Lord that we continue to teach us how to how to word in our heart that in everything we do God we honor you Jesus thank you for helping the personality for this class Amen Thank you everyone God bless you have a wonderful weekend see you in the next class


Um, the mic is over there. Are we live yet? What's up, y'all? Of all you buttercups. Using my handy dandy. And you're here now. Thee. I'm using my handy dandy mix-o-matic to mix me some resin. Um. And I went ahead and spray-painted this old board earlier to show you guys what I'm trying to do. And I don't know if you guys have seen Laramite? Laramar? Now I've confused myself and I'm not sure which is what. But anyways, I'm going to show you what I'm just going to look up at. Oh, it's Laramar. Okay. Lar. So. Well, I spelled it for you wrong. So it's Laramar. And Bowie's on another level today. But it's essentially this beautiful, I don't even know if you guys can see. It basically looks like ocean. Reflection. I'm going for something that's like closer to this one. Not quite as oceanic because I can't really secure. I can't get down that that look quite yet. I don't think. And so I'm going with a little bit more like this look in theory. I don't know if I'm going to be able to nail it or fail it. But we're going to find out together. I'm very excited about it. So let me find the chat. The reason why I'm on this is because my mom got me this beautiful Laramar necklace when she was in Aruba last. And so reasons. Okay, so this was this was was a piece that did not sell or look cute anymore. And so I have lightly spray painted over it. It had some aqua in it and some brown tones. So I kind of let that show through. And so after I let that dusting of white kind of dry a little bit, I went through and like harshly painted these lines since I'm going to use a bit of translucent anyways. And the colors I'm going to use are they low blue, which I had to rejar, but it looks like this. It's by just resin. I'm going to use Kimmy shimmer by color passion, titanium white by just resin, rich gold shimmer by color obsession and Bondi blue from color obsession. Yeah. Okay. So that's what I'm going to use. That's what I'm going to do in theory and hope it really works because I think Laramar is beautiful stone and it would be super, super beautiful as a something a countertop. And so this is going to be a sample piece for that finish in theory. Have you guys ever heard of Laramar before a side question? Am I saying it right? Because I'm pretty sure that I'm not. Also, I'm waiting to hear back on the something. The stand for this mixer dripping over everything. So I, you guys haven't seen my review on that mixing apparatus. It does pretty good. It mixes it for the most part, but there's still some swirlies that I could let it spin for another round. But I'm just going to self-mix it because bubbles don't really matter as much. And you can see that it doesn't really mix in that many bubbles, which is super rad. We're going to be using some heat tonight, so I'm just going to turn with a blaze. Yes, it is charging. So you guys have already heard about Laramar. It is from the Dominican Republic and our wisdom and manifestation. Is that what Laramar signifies or helps to improve? I have a painting that you bought from the last fire sale. And I couldn't, I couldn't remember if you covered the invoice or not, or if we sent you one, or if I just couldn't find your email, but I still have the painting. If you still want it, it is in my studio. Okay. So you can see from hand mixing just that little bit that there's so many more bubbles in it now than I've read that using a wooden popsicle stick because it's porous mixes more bubbles in than would otherwise be in there. So I should be using our patent no longer pending stir sticks. But you guys are buying them so fast that I can't hardly keep them in stock, so I'll just suffer for y'all. All right. I think we're mixed enough and can now do colors. So like I said, we're going to be working with mostly translucent because in my opinion, that will give you the most realistic look in anything. Anytime you can add depth, you add intrigue to a piece in my opinion. I don't know, could be just me, but I'm pretty sure it's not just me, but who knows. But maybe, but probably not. Okay, we're going to do a translucent Kimmy shimmer. Maybe an opaque Kimmy shimmer. Then I need titanium and gold. In the pieces I just showed you guys, there wasn't that much gold, but in a lot, a lot of the things that I found that wasn't right now, there's a lot of gold or actually like lighter browns and if I'm going to be doing a lighter brown or yellow and something, I'm just going to make it gold.  This gold is called something rich gold shimmer. It's by Color Obsession. It's super beautiful and it makes a really interesting cell pattern just on its own because of some kind of magic that's in it. So, I'll be showing you a close-up of that in a little bit. I do have all these colors in stock at the time of filming this. If you're interested, if you're so inclined, get there before someone else does. I forgot I had to do some of my Hattello blue. Julie says, I love your stir sticks. Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We love them too. If you guys don't know, this is some of our older version stir sticks.  I would use alcohol or baby rag to wipe off them. Oh, sorry, baby wipe. You know what I mean. Words are hard. So, this is a very much brighter blue. The phthalo blues that we carry are all translucent. So, that'll be cool. Put this over here. So, Kim, I did not say what I spray painted the board with.  I like to use them if they don't sell or don't need them anymore, if I don't like them at all. I'll just lightly spray paint over them or not at all and make them just a bottom layer for another piece that I'm doing because, one, I don't want to feel like I wasted the time and product and energy and all the things for the layer to be covering.  If that makes sense. I'm almost out of my Kimi Shimmer. But I believe I have enough for this because we're just doing a translucent to start with. Kimi Shimmer is a really beautiful light baby blue aqua. Can that be? Is that a thing? Baby blue aqua? I don't know. But if it is, that's what this is. If you guys don't know, I will get every last bit out of one of these jars because waste not, want not. Okay. I'm not lying. This is such a pretty creamy color. And I do have it currently translucent. I can see through it. I don't know if you guys can because you're right above, but I can see through this piece. I mean through this color. So I'm going to add some of this to another cup of color just to give it some tone. No, I didn't want to do that. It's fine. Wait. It's fine. I need to add just a little bit more of the Kimi to it. Pro tip. If you come down to this much resin left and you only need about this much resin made of a certain color, just put the resin in here and use this as your mixing cup and just scrape all of the goodness off the edges. That's great. Okay. So now this one's even more translucent. But look, it's already doing fun things. It's exactly like what I'm trying to make. Not exactly type of way. So probably isn't that readable on camera. But just now it looks pretty cool. All right. So I'm going to take a little bit of I'm going to mix some white into this one. But I'm also going to mix a little bit of white into this one. I can make it a little bit of more of a milkier that looks kind of like that color. Yeah. Tim, I would love it if you grab me one too. It made it not as translucent anymore. I wasn't paying attention to how much opaque white I was putting into it. So I'm going to mix more of the translucent and clear that I have left into it to kind of water it down. So to speak. Didn't quite work, but it's still cool color. So we're not upset. And the white is titanium. It's my go to white. It's opaque. It's heavy. It makes great cells, makes great ocean waves. Basically, whatever you need an opaque white for. This should be in your repertoire. All right. I need a little bit more white because I forgot what I was doing. I always keep some clear resin in my mixing cup just in case for emergency purposes. What's up, Keith? How'd that go? Hey, Carrie. Cool. Another question. I know you say use flat when painting canvas. Is that okay too? You can use any finish of spray paint you want. Base painting in flat. Satin's very close gloss I've had issues with because if you don't put the resin on thick enough it'll kind of pull back and give you fish eyes if you're not careful. But it'll still work fine too. Okay. So I don't have my reference up. So we're going to just remember what it is I looked at and I'm actually going to do something. I'm going to do something I don't usually do and that's under paint some lines before I put anything else down. This is going to give us a great great bit of depth. The pattern on this stone is so all over the place but I feel like I nailed it. I'm also going to go ahead and put this just a little bit of this darker blue in some areas and that'll get picked up when I blend everything out in a moment. Okay. I'm so nervous. I'm not nervous. I'm very nervous. Okay go. So we're going to take our Kimmy Shimmer that's a little bit diluted and I'm going to just pour it out into the everywhere. A little bit more opaque than I would have liked but it'd be fine. Keith have you ever tried to do this stone before? You guys don't know. Keith is with KCDC designs well he's not with him. He is KCDC designs and he does great countertop looks and he's also super smart. He does pro tips all the time you can check him out on his channel and in Rhonda's Facebook group RK3 designs or RK3 insiders? RK3 designs insiders look up both because she's in there. Okay I forgot to mix up my Bondi but here we go. Bondi is a transparent translucent tint from color obsession which means you can add as much colorant as you want. It will never be opaque but you can deepen the color by how much you add. This is a very light fast color fast liquid pigment tint that won't fade or discolor with time because of being in the sun also it's translucent so it's going to work great for what I'm trying to create and I know it looks very hot mess right now but it'll be a hot mess success I'm pretty sure I hope. Just give me one minute to blend all this out you'll love it swear promise swear okay I'm going to take my discolor I don't know how much I'm going to actually use because it's more opaque than I wanted it to be but it's a color that was in the finish so we're going to rock on with it okay I'm going to add a little bit more white and now we're going to blend it all together which should look amazing even though it looks very much like a Pollock mess in this moment but just hear me out okay hear me out so now I'm going to fill in all of my dry areas I'm going in this consistent emotion I don't want to get crazy with the flow of it right now until I see where I'm at with it just going to glide over everything just when she'll wiper it not trying to mix everything together just trying to blend it and cover up any dry areas on the board well some of the pictures of it looked kind of marbly except for the ones that look like full oceanic reflection type feel which I haven't quite figured out yet but I'm going to so can you take the class down and show them where we're at in this moment yeah everybody in there Emily Kelly wants to know who all hasn't left a thumbs up yet and it's a great question so this is basically our base of everything and I'm going to add more white I know that if I tried to do the white how it is in that reference photo that I showed you guys I don't think it would work because it's kind of like a tortoise shell so it's like this you have to round everything and that would just look great but I don't know if it does because it's kind of sloppy you know what I mean I think it'll go out we have to make sure you round the corners out because that's what tortoise shell looks like which is essentially what it reminded me of so yeah I guess I could try to round these out but I just feel like it's just so sloppy maybe once it settles and moves a bit it would look right but I don't know if I have the patience for that in this moment I'll add some intense heat to it in a minute and see if it does anything that I want it to do but first let's add some gold so I usually add a crazy amount of gold like all the way across but in this it's like it's not it's just in parts so there's parts could you try the white in a piping bag? I could and I've thought about that I just haven't pulled the trigger on a piping bag for this finish just yet I kind of want to just secure the colors a bit and I think I've narrowed down the colors well enough that I probably could try it in a piping bag you definitely need to use stone coat, art coat if you're going to use a piping bag because the longer working time embossing gun over white lines yeah but I don't want to dig out my embossing gun I'm going to go down below and do a gradual tilt just for right now just to see what happens trying to give my white enough time to sink so that when I do tilt it like this I just crunched my lifting cups those ones this gold always kind of blooms out so I'm going to just pinky blend it in I don't know why pinky blend I guess because it's fancy I realize I'm wrecking some of my tortoise shell lines but for the greater good I'll just redo that tortoise shell line pinky blend t-shirt oh I should make the pinky blend a t-shirt idea I'm not opposed to that so Jeff's helping me round out my lines which actually is creating kind of a shadow where the blue and the white are kind of like coming together a little bit so that actually is interesting most important idea with doing something like this is to make sure that it's rounded because that was one of my main takeaways when I was looking at reference photos so I don't have any triangular corners if I do I'm just kind of cutting into them 2-2 I was like 2-2 here somebody said 2-2 I'm going to round these bad boys and then I'm going to tilt again I think it's not not working probably would be cleaner with a piping bag but I'm just going to have to be an idea for next time which I intend on trying this again never let a finish beat you I always say I feel like it looks a little bit like one of my references right so darn pretty love the colors watching while I wait for my first primer to cut my back into dry well good luck with your bathroom finish it's going to be amazing Christy how are you doing killing it I'm sure because it's fancy exactly so you can really see in some of these areas like right here no I don't know where you guys are that's the screen so right here you can see this line it's from the underpainting the white lines are sinking and then I'm going to tilt it in a minute and that will give a drop shadow Jen what's up do you want my bracelet that's amazing the close-ups really show the softness of the colors in detail that means a lot to me coming from you hey happy what's up phoenix flow so yeah let's tilt this bad boy try not to break anymore cups you need to spray seal it a few good times and then most cork has like a backing on it right so now that we've done a tilt to this piece you can see the shade here this is a drop shadow from the translucent rolling over the white that sank here and here and here and if I set this to dry or to cure whatever in an area that's not exactly level but not too far off like the bubble is still within those two lines in your leveler but isn't like going over this will continue to shift and make a really great drop shadow please do not walk away from this video thinking that I'm telling you to have everything that you ever store off so that it makes a shadow it doesn't always work you have to have the right materials but with this piece I'm going to do that and it's going to do that so you can see where the camera and here you can see a lot of and here you can see a lot of the underpainting all the white fainted lines the blue that we added which I think may be too aggressive for this piece but who knows I think I got close I think I need to further investigate it Italian drip so I would but I don't have any gloss white spray paint if you were to want to do this you could not do any of the white and do the Italian drip and get some fractals on it maybe I'll do another one and specifically wait to do an Italian drip with it but I think it works maybe we give them a closer upper there's cells popping up right in this gold the gold that I used has some kind of magic in it and it sells on its own I don't know if you hold on and go back you catch at different angles so I can show and I'll roll back up keep going it's doing its own cell job you can see it over here as well and in here I think you have to be on this side maybe not, I don't know where I am yes, supplies can be purchased all the colors that I used today are available at ArtistsTillDeath.com the link is down in the description box if you would like to order your stone coat from StoneCoatCounterTops.com use code YALYALL all caps, no punctuation for a rad discount you can also order it from RK3Design, she does same day shipping if you order before noon it doesn't look good but that Kimmy Shimmer I used was a luster it was pearlescent so it should it has a shimmer to it, it's just really y'all know resin, it's hard to see the vibrancy of colors on camera, sometimes so, do you guys have any questions for me on this piece or any other piece? the festivities went swimmingly swimmingly? yeah, I'm a mermaid, I can say swimmingly, like all the time what was the gold used? the gold is rich gold shimmer from Color Obsession it is a paste, it is magic, and I love it so yeah, anybody else is it for a commission? it is not I wish someone would ask me to do Laramar countertops, I'll probably try to sell the next person to ask for a blue countertop you can tilt it, we don't have to tilt it we can do it with a heat gun it is for purchase if anyone is so interested in this piece, thank you so much Keith I hope you try to do it, and even if you show me up it's okay, it's okay it's a good sell job thank you, thank you, I try my best what's up Lynn my little tea tiny baby sister that's not so baby or little anymore is in chat room, and she actually does geological stuff she works with rocks all the time, so do you think I got kind of close, Lynn, or nah you better say it's close but also yes you do that would be great in a bathroom or in your pool I would love it in both of those conditions oh wow, Carrie you need to take a nap I think she said she worked, Carrie worked 13 hours shift I'd say it's pretty close not bad for the first go about it, anyways, I hope you guys at home attempt this finish, I'm going to be trying it again using some of the things I learned and mentioned that maybe I wouldn't do next time I hope you guys give it a shot if you do, post it in our group ATD's Poor People, so we can see it and will I name the colors again, yes, so I used Kimmy Shimmer from Color Passion, that's the teal color, the softer teal it's a shimmery color, so it's got a little bit of pearl look to it I used Bondi Blue Tint from Color Obsession it's the darker translucent color I used Thalo Blue from do you remember if it's just resin or color obsession, but they're pretty similar across those two brands I used Titanium White and Rich Gold Shimmer from Color Obsession can I share a reference again, absolutely now I feel like I have to find a reference that is as close as possible to what I created give up I can't get the iPad out of the thing, hold up okay, that is one version okay so it takes a lot of different forms, that one kind of resembles it, but I really want to get to where it looks like something like this but I think that's gonna probably take piping it and a few different layers than in any case pretty pumped with how it turned out it does look a little bit like Amazonite I'm pretty sure I said that wrong as well but yeah, I don't think I failed it I don't know if I nailed it, but I don't think I fully failed it either, so call the inspiration out reference so you can say you nailed it no matter what the outcome that is brilliant so maybe the webbing effect in multiple layers I think it would take multiple layers for sure and honestly, hey Tabitha, thank you and happy new year to you I think honestly if I wanted to fully nail it it would be not that difficult if I just airbrushed in the lines first, would you guys like to see that version of this piece and then doing all of this on top of it so it's like one video let me know cause that's not a bad idea that I just came up with off the top of my head right now this is a necklace that inspired doing this piece it's from Mama you can see it has kind of that wait for it it's not gonna focus cause that's my life it has more of a dark color in it I like it either way, so yeah, okay they've never said no, I don't wanna say it, but I like to give them the option to what they say Jen said you could crinkle up a paper bag and leave it and I would watch it, so yeah you goofball okay, so you guys close to the last picture, so it will I just don't have any gloss spray paint and to do the Italian drip you have to have gloss spray paint flat is not gonna do it at all thank you Keith for being here, so next time I do this I'm going to under paint it with airbrush to get those white lines in it and then I'm gonna follow those white lines with the resin top layer and maybe I'll just hold this one for when I do that I'm gonna give this one a second layer and that way I have two versions of how to create this and I can just refer people back to this video anyways, you guys are amazing, I hope you have an awesome evening if you haven't subscribed please do so, if you haven't shared a video could you think about it and also share with people where you get your awesome pigments from if you get them from me, it's super easy to share something and it really helps us to grow as a channel and it helps my shop to grow if you could just tell people that you get awesome pigments from me if you have anyways, you have an awesome evening, be kind to one another because you never know what someone is going through so you don't have to and we will see you guys in the next video but what do you want to say bye? of course you do he does want to say bye blue-eyed boy oh I know it okay guys, see you guys next time, bye what do you want to say bye? hey, did you say bye? tell him, who's here? hi he does that if you say hi, it's so funny anyways, you guys are awesome see you later, bye what do you want to say bye? tell him thanks, bye


that we warned it in three public places, right? And we put it on the e-mail of interested parties, right? So we can go ahead. And we have two items on the agenda for tonight. And one is the open bids and award for sidewalk and fire hydrant snow removal. Did we get a bid? No. All right, then that's, we weren't going to do that one because we don't have anything to open. Julie said that one of the bidders had a computer issue. Computer issue? All right, well, I know who she is. All right, we didn't get any other bids. So we might want to grant an extension to this. We can do that, right?  I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear everything. You didn't get something? We didn't get a bid. We got communication that there was some technical problems with the computer that was going to be used, I suppose. And so we're hoping to receive an offer in the future. So technical problems along with the computer of the bidder? Correct, the central bidder. As far as I understand, that's what I just learned right now. Thank you. Hold off the press. So then we'll move on to adopting the Class 4 highway, which is basically our road policy. It includes all the roads and also Class 4. So is there people who had requested time to look at that at the last meeting a week ago? And so we posted it. And I believe we emailed it. Harlan, did you get one? Yeah, I got one. You got one? Good. So is there any? I had one. I got one for a while, and I still have one. All right, good. So do we have any discussion about that? Yes? I'm Daniel Ward with upon some of the news of town. So I apologize for the voice doing it correctly. So Lizzie and I looked at the Vermont League of Cities and Towns document, which I think is what y'all referenced last week as the boilerplate. And then also kind of looked at the VSA 302A4. And just came up with some suggestions that we noticed one thing that was missing in the proposal that you guys are putting forward, which is, we don't see public interest in there. And that's riddled throughout both documents that we read over. So what I'd like to do, just I've gotten four suggestions. I've got them written down here. Do you want me to just read them or give them to you? Sure. OK. So under section number one, and the purpose of the proposal, provides a second sentence to state, the purpose of this policy is to protect the public investment in the town highway system and to protect public interest, including preservation of the town's environment and natural resources, as well as defining the standards by which class 4 highways will be protected and maintained and improved in the class environment. Essentially adding public interest and environment into that section. Because as we talked about last week, environment I think is something that we're going to have to start doing individually as towns with the way the administration has been rolling things back. And I think a lot of people, including ourselves, we came here because of the environment here and the way people care about it and it has to be. So that's one. Under number three, under control, and this is allowed under the 19 VSH 302A is prohibiting or restricting use of motorized vehicles. And then under number six, private improvements of class 4 highways to provide a section C to read the select or may approve the approved conditions or deny an improvement permit following a period of public notice or opportunity for public comment and questions. So that's disborded by this. And then lastly under section 7, private winter maintenance of class 4 highways revise the same as section 6 required of public notice. So that's the four suggestions that Whitney and I read and thought made sense based on the Vermont legal cities and towns document as well as the Vermont statues and the people. Do you want to run that? I've got it written here if you want to do it. Sure. This is regarding my ticket scratch. Be careful about this. Well, yeah, this is not something that we're going to just incorporate these things without checking that they're appropriate and proper. I'll reference the VSA code in there. Oh, really the public interest thing is. Well, yeah, that's actually was a thought mentioned in there and that the public good is one of the aspects in terms of our main job in maintaining the roads and stuff is then protecting the public assets and the interest. Right, and the public can be also the landowners on the road, of course. That's the public. I mean, that public good is that's what's been removed from the boilerplate from the Vermont cities. Well, this is the recommendation that we I think it was not so much from the VLCT, but from the statutes themselves. I think that was we got this was prepared by the town legal council, not just taking it from the VLCT boilerplate. So so that said, what are you guys with here? But under the VSA 320A, it says the law allows class 4 highways may be maintained to the extent required by the necessity of the town, the public good comma, and the convenience of the inhabitants of the town. Yep, that's a pretty standard standard standard clause that's something. And that's what I'm recommending. We'll follow this and review it. Yeah, I guess we've got we'll have to just, you know, take your suggestions into account. We'd like them seriously considered and put this off until next week then, I guess. For the rightful representation. Yes. Yeah. I suppose so to to honor his request. Does anybody else have anything you want to say? Wall. Wall. There's more. The form that you posted for us what was suggested by the town attorney? Yes. Section 8, repeal. Do we have a previously adopted policy to be repealed? I don't believe so. You should be honest. Well, that's it's now that now, but that that can be on there because in the future, if things are modified, then it would be repealing this one. So that's so it's not inappropriate to have that in there. It's referring to previous. Right. But we're setting a policy that is going to go on into the future. So if we refer to this policy five years from now, then it would be good to have that. Next question. OK, next question. Do you intend to repeal some sections of the town plan which are called policy on transportation? No. What are you thinking? I'm not sure what you're saying here. One doesn't quite match up with the other. Under the town plan transportation policy for certain statements, they may not be consistent with this, but perhaps more reviewed by the town attorney. Do you have samples of those statements? Well, not quite because what's on the website is a proposed form from 2018. That's not a completed town policy, which means are we still under 2013? I suppose until the new one is adopted. Well, unfortunately, 2013 is not on a website. Oh, so those are questions about. So you're just saying is it possible? Make sure that the policy, transportation policy in the town plan does not contradict something. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but it may contradict something. So you didn't find something that it contradicted? You're just saying it's possible that it contradicts something because you couldn't find it? All right. Because it wasn't available. What did you say? It just means a little more due diligence on part of our return before you guys sign something that counters something else that we already have in mind. And maybe what he's been saying is not a problem. Well, he may have done. We don't know. He may actually look at the proposed 2018, which is a guess on the arc in the final stages. How do you know a counter or something? How do you know a counter or something? I'm not saying it does. I'm saying you need to review it. If you're talking about repealing policy, it's called policy in the town plan, the word policy. So class 4 road policy also is in the town plan. What you have here is a class 4 road policy. We also have one in the town plan. So you just said that you didn't fire one in the town plan. You just said that you didn't find one in the town plan because you couldn't find the town plan. But it countered it. I don't have the current. Just that you should make sure you don't have another mission to come back to the table if you're sitting after you sign it. Any other suggestions about what you'd like us to review? No? All right. Just trying to save us all sitting and doing all of it. Right. Well, actually, that's what we're going to do. Harlan, how about you? You got any input on this? I think a little more of public input into some of this policy stuff is a good idea. I know along with everything you said, I think there should be more input. I mean, you guys work for us. Yes. OK? Yes. Just remember that as you go through all of this stuff. Anybody else? All right. Then I guess we will revisit this topic at the next select board meeting. All right. Thank you. Sunday night at 6.15.
