and easy solution, that is venti cook. So venti cook is a pedal operated biomass burning stove. We are using the same fuel which is wood and cow dung cake. But here we have a fan and the fan is connected to a treadmill mechanism. So here the user has to sit in a chair and pedal this system so that the fan will rotate and it will push air inside. So next I'm going to show you my prototype on how we are better than the existing solution. So here you can see a classic example of a mud stove and so much smoke is produced and it's directly going into the user face. Whereas this is our system as you can see I'm comfortably sitting in a chair and this is my leg and I'm pedaling. So if you take a closer look here you can see barely any smoke is produced. Just see the difference from here to here. Barely any smoke is produced. And also the flame is also high and you can see the fuel is also wood and the same fuel that is present in the wood area. So here you can see the clear difference between our stove and mud stove. Next we want to why we think this is a sustainable model. First customer desirability. We have already made the stove and tested in two villages and these are some of the satisfactory feedback we got. The three desirability of the customer that they felt by using our product is first. It hooked faster. Second, it saved time and fuel and third it is far more comfortable than a primitive muscle. Then market vitalties are determined by the policies of the government. So there is one of the great policies by government known as the Oomna Chula Abhyan in which government is providing subsidies to clean biomass burning chula. So for example, my chula cost around 900 to 1000 rupees. So if I get a subsidy of around 600 rupees the cost will fall to around 400 rupees which is extremely affordable for the rural population. And finally, technological feasibility. We are the most affordable and the only four-strapped stove in the entire world that doesn't use electricity. So what is a four-strapped stove? So four-strapped stoves are similar to the venti-cook but instead of using a cradle mechanism or mechanical motion they use electric motor and the electric motor is powered by electricity. But we cannot expect in rural areas people will have electricity 24 hours. Next, moving on to how much progress we have done. I have converted my idea into prototype. I have tested my ideas in two villages already. We are currently redesigning the prototype as per the feedback collected by the villagers making the final MPV. My project is also recognized by UNDP which is the United Nations Development Program. And I have also won multiple innovations and the plan challenge from IIT Roorkee and IIT Calcutt and also one of the most prestigious which is the 3M Young Unitors Challenge Award. So thank you so much. I know the pitch is very small. I know the pitch is very small. But I just want to give you the case for my innovation. So yes, I am open to any questions. Anup, any visibility on your team? Yes, sir. I have made another PDF for that. Yeah. So this is our team. This is myself. Anup Aikare. And I have one of the, you can say member or mentor is from our college Dr. Ranjan Bhubar Pradham. So yes, currently we are the two members, but we will be expanding soon as when we will prepare for the next year. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And when we will prepare our M.D.P. and ready for the market also. Yes, Sir. And who has built this prototype? Myself, Myself? Myself? Okay. So if you have just two people, how do you plan to sort of, you know, make it a more scalable business. Yes, so for that reason, like at first is that currently, even though I'm the one member, currently, we have few interns working with they're not completely like you can say full-time members they're just working with me for few months so once my product is ready then I am like going to hire those interns like five interns are currently working under me hire those interns as full-time as I will be able to pay them at least some amount of financial support to them or some amount of financial money to them so currently I don't have a full-fledged team but I have some part-time interns but once my final MVP is ready then I will end up them as the full-time members in order yes okay and you are doing BTEC right now so I'm assuming you will be pursuing Masters and also how do you plan to you know take your venture ahead what's the thought there sir like I'm not I'm not thinking of going for the Masters like there is too much competition in the gate and all so yes I like this is a problem that I have seen that even though we are living in 21st century like when I heard that 2.5 billion people are affected by it I was determined to find at least a solution I may not be the 100% solution but at least I can do something that can if I can at least save 10,000 people or at least 50,000 people that will be something that I will be more proud rather than going to an like for NPEC and then going into a like then more studies and more studies so yes sir understood that and that's the reason I asked because you still don't have a team how are you going to infuse the same passion that you hold to any person who you want to hire you know it's something would you need to think around I don't see it right now necessary to be addressed but you should have that understanding. I think it's a nice thought something very different in terms of I mean I come in with this perception of using technology you know to do innovations but yes there is technology but there is a lot of engineering here so that is something good I don't have any questions so to say I'm quite impressed I'll give over to you I know you're sure right this is the only one sir only one yes sir I'm 100% sure sir for example like I knew that question is going to come somehow so this is known as the clean cooking catalog it is like provided by united nation development program sir all the clean cooking stove that are patented and is present in the market you can find it there there are more than like 500 and I have checked every single one of them before even making the prototype like the moment I came this came up with this idea I was like let's first check if there is anyone already doing it or not once I got the so the world's only what's the phrase that you use for it sir mechanically controlled forced truck store sir for example I'm giving you a picture and I just don't want to break the dream but I just found something just found something which is very close to what you're saying yes it's mechanically controlled forced shaft biomass chulas that are available on amazon yes sir like you can say that yes sir if you can show me I will be more than happy to but similar to my design which is a treadle mechanism as I see like the pedal similar to you have seen in swing machine or tailoring machine there is no such system right now sir okay so I completely agree to what you're saying there's something called Agnica do check that out Agnica Eco mini it's a biomass cooking stove smokeless chulas uh working on actual press and press and release also working on without press and release so it has a mechanical model and a non-mechanical model just keep these see the only reason that I even mentioned this is just keep these things in mind you have a huge market waiting to be tapped there about yes there are about 45 crore Indians who need you all right we sometimes put our blinkers on and think that that that everything is going to be solved by IoT AI and ML for that to reach two people they need to have food in their tummies and and and for for a lot of these sustainable models that have come today what I love most about you people is you're working at the very base of the pyramid you derive inspiration from your grandmother's ordeal and then that's that's that's the most exciting thing about the model so what's the timeline where is Anup taking this product to how long is it going to be currently I'm been incubated by AIC NITF and like yes sir so currently we are working on the like pretending part like applying for the provisional patent AIC NITF is sir now in the institute of technology Bhubanesh right yes sir Bhubanesh yeah Durga and everybody in the team yes sir yes sir you know okay okay okay good so what's what's the financial projection like where are you broadly what kind of money is going to take it to take for you to actually take it to market sir currently regarding the financial projection but yes I can say currently I've also been seed funded by 3M International so and like after also they have calculated the total like they have estimated that how much an average like model like me like previously those that they have also funded few other clean stores so they said it will be costing around 10 lakh rupees only to get into the market after that after that you have to like get revenue by yourself or you can apply from grants and other things so yes sir so it will be costing around 10 lakh rupees so what is Anup's value chain of products this stove being done what does he do next if he does anything else because because he's leaving his masters for it so he needs to create more impact yes sir like sir after this stove also there are like a few other like ideas that I have regarding the social innovation if this stove goes so successful then I would also like to try them for example there is another idea that I'm working on is like I've currently stopped working on that is a a needle spray for a defensive needle is like the plant the moment you touch I guess Anup we can take it oh sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry I'm very sorry like I just go with the flow I'm sorry just just one parting shot and nope it's not an if it's about when so don't call it an if anymore just do it just go ahead and do it it's a good product just keep building it sure okay great so the last participant okay so thank you so much Anup and thanks a lot to all the participants for sharing their exceptional ideas science to do remembers for sharing their insights and suggestions on these ideas it would be great if you can share quick closing thoughts as well okay when Rahul okay you can go ahead in order of seniority Rahul please not at all okay please go ahead okay pleasure as usual Anupam Misfits always throws up exciting models exciting ideas exciting game changers actual change makers really inspired by Prabhaji's story Rekashu's scientific aptitude Anup's ability to take a punt on the future with regards innovation that is in a degree so all of that keeps us inspired keep inspiring team Misfits you're doing a great job in scouting the right kind of talent across the country and I'm there as usual as I've told you before there are going to be some announcements from last year that we're going to make very soon I need to know the nationals can date from you so that everyone everyone else whose whose whose hair on on these cohorts can also be hopeful of the fact that what Pauline pointed out at the onset this is impact this is social change this is change making and this is pe worthy innovation that they are doing profit equity is on their way if they continue doing what they're doing right now so that's that's my message to them just continue being whoever you are wherever you are because Prabhaji is the example for that just just just keep doing what you do best and and then keep loving what you're doing doing what you love that's it Rahul okay amplifying what you're saying always privileged and excited to see what Misfits is doing I was amazed last year I'm enthralled this year as well so I'm so glad that my Sunday was put to good use I could meet so many people who are doing some fantastic work you know and to my happiness it's less of tech and more of innovation is what I really like about you know because a lot of startups come in use a lot of tech which makes no sense but coming in and doing some innovations even having a thought to create some impact you know in our lives by some of these ideas you know I'm looking forward to some of them converting into MPVs and finally reaching the market and I'm always there as an individual to help anybody Misfits teams knows me they have my contact details you can reach out to them but from my side all the best to all of you no idea is small or no idea is should be just must be just because you never know what can turn into a concept and eventually business so you keep it going competition is there must be there even if there are something which is there in the market if you can provide a good alternate to it you know there is a market for everything so to say just that you need to keep a few things in mind about how you want to take it how you want to refine it how you want to have a strong team because all of you are in early stage that's it I think just those are the closing thoughts but I'm happy for the last four hours what I've seen three hours in fact sorry we're happy to have you to have both of you so yes dear startups you all were phenomenal today and we will announce the winners by Tuesday on our social media platforms as well as on the WhatsApp group too so please stay tuned and follow us on our social media platforms we are covering West India next week and then moving towards the international cities Singapore Hong Kong Vietnam and Thailand stay tuned do join that event as well and yes listen to more ideas and get connected with other startups as well yes so thanks a lot to everyone with this I would like to end the event here thank you so much thank you thank you everybody bye


is number 19 available so youtube team keeping clean what's going on is engraving here with another video and in this video we hear to talk about all these rumors that have just been circulating the airwaves i don't know where it originated from i don't know where it started i don't even know why i picked up so much steam recently but there's been a lot of talk about adam thielen possibly becoming a ball tomorrow raven is it going down will it go down will it happen who knows but this thing has been picking up a lot of steam recently so would he even be a good fit well before we get into that shout out to all the team keeping clean patrons appreciate y'all showing that extra support um also make sure you listen to the team keeping clean podcast we have new episodes every single wednesday and then on top of that for those of you that like to keep it extra clean you can go to manscape.com and use code keep it clean for not only 20% off get this but free shipping as well so you get an added bonus on top of a bonus you can't beat that so anyway adam thielen one of my boys shout out to my god will white he said in graven what would you give up for adam thielen and when he initially sent me that message i was like i said that that definitely wouldn't be my first choice he wouldn't be my first choice for the type of receiver that the ravens need and because i know adam thielen he's six two so he got some decent size on him he got great hands um but i was like i just feel like the ravens need a an even taller guy an even bigger guy even more explosive guy um and so i told him i said i'd probably give up like maybe like a second round and some change like that but then he said but in graven but you know how great of a route runner this guy is and with how good that he is at route running he could help teach the other guys that as well and then it got me to think and i was like well wait a minute there's brian there's brian i i saw we saw the impact that a day's brian a receiver that had been out of the league for a little over three years we saw the impact that he had on this wide receiver room so i could imagine a receiver like adam thielen a receiver that's been in the league the past three years and been a true number one guy the impact that he could have on this wide receiver room especially when it comes to route running because he would be a guy that would be a nice combination of a little bit of everything for the ravens because again he's six two so he got some decent size on him he also got a decent amount of speed he ain't a blazing fast anything like that but he got a decent amount of speed but he can catch and the route running he can help share some of that wisdom with the other guys you got a hollywood brown super fast and then if you add the route running to him oh boy this game over you got a miles boykin super big and fast you throw that route running on there along with the confidence too because that's a big thing and then the opportunities got to be there as well and then it's like oh man that could take his game to a whole another level devon duvenay james pro shade the possibilities are endless because i believe it was steve smith senior that said it that speed speed goes away and the game of football speed goes away for receivers you're going to lose your speed you're not always going to be crazy fast well except for take again that dude is ageless wonder when it comes to speed but most guys nine times out of ten you're not going to be fast forever but excellent route running that that's not going to go anywhere and you will still always be able to get open if you got good route running so with adam feeling if he was to come to the baltimore ravens and think about this too he's been in an offense that runs the ball a lot not as much as the ravens but dalvin cook well you know adam feeling he used to block him for somebody he's used to that and the thing that i think about him with adam feeling is that he would really give the the ravens somebody that defences respect because i feel like defences don't consistently respect hollywood i feel like they don't consistently respect sometimes they do sometimes they don't but i just feel like you know defense they stack that box against the ravens they will stack the box they're like hey you're not gonna run on us today you're not doing that you want to catch yourself go past that ball oh we'll leave these dudes one on one we ain't worried about them we'll leave them one on one pass the ball see if they get open try us and then there are a lot of times the raven for triumph sometimes it'll work a lot of times it wouldn't but the consistency of it working it was too inconsistent so one thing that i saw shout out to my god will white again after our conversation it's funny how timing continues to be everything later on that same day i saw a statistic about adam feeling that said that this guy was the number one wide receiver when it came to beating one on one coverage you know if you're a wide receiver and you were in a ravens jersey you want to get someone on one coverage because again they don't respect you they don't respect you so adam feeling could be a receiver that could actually command some respect from cornerbacks from safeties from defenses when it came to this ravens offense and he would give us a proven guy that's still in his prime that's still getting the job done i mean let's look at his numbers over the past couple of years and let's start with last year now he did have justin jefferson opposite of me you know justin jefferson that was one of the guy after because y'all know i i i fell in love and i should have i shouldn't have done it but i fell in love with with jerry judy and cd lam and henry rugs i was like oh ravens if you could just but then there was another guy who i really liked too and that other guy was justin jefferson and when i watch film on him i'm like wow that guy he is fast and he runs excellent routes excellent routes he's a red zone threat too he got speed he got hands he got it man and when i watched him with the vikings it was like he was great he was great like great so shout out to the vikings for drafting him but anyway let's look at adam thielen's numbers for the past couple of years last year uh he had 74 catches for just short of a thousand yards and 14 touchdowns for just last year 74 catches 925 yards and 14 touchdowns 14 of them i'm trying to think is that more than all the ravens receivers combined now i know the offenses are different but i don't know off the top of my head it sounds like it could be if it's not it's definitely competing with him but 14 touchdowns now of course if he came over to the ravens i would not expect those numbers to be the same i wouldn't we got to be realistic about it because a lot would depend on how the ravens used him would they use him effectively would they use him efficiently well guess what that's where keith williams and tt that's where they come into play the wire receiver coach passing game coordinator that's where they come into play because the ravens were like greg roman we've seen it we respect you we know you got this running game on lock you got it but the passing game okay we don't want to change everything we just want to take another step forward so we're gonna bring in these guys and something that my guy sg pointed out was that these guys weren't even interviewed by greg roman hardball he hardball interviewed them he was like oh yeah this is this is my call i got it he brought them on and both of them kind of when they had the interviews on Baltimore ravens dot com they were like oh it kind of came out of nowhere so hardball i wonder if hardball got a phone call from edc from bishadi he got a phone call from somebody it was like hey they probably thinking about it thinking about it during the off season and they were like look we gotta fix this we gotta fix this because we got some guys in the house and we want to bring some guys from outhouse but if this thing doesn't get fixed hey you better tighten up quick so hardball reached out and he brought them boys on so we'll see what they do now with adam feeling what i was saying is how old the ravens how would the ravens use him if they were to acquire him well having those guys here with the ravens keith williams and uh titi i like calling them titi but shout out to him having them on board they have a history especially keith williams he's worked with tyreek hill he's worked with divante adams and there's more too i believe sammy walkins was on his team too he's had a lot of guys that he's worked with like significant wide receivers impact wide receivers those guys at wide receivers so hopefully his impact on the ravens will be big and his voice will be heard that's the biggest thing so that will give me a little more faith in adam feeling or whatever receiver the ravens end up using or whatever the receivers ravens end up keeping or drafting however have or they acquire whatever other receivers they get having them on board gives me a little bit more confidence uh in the usage of the wide receivers but hey seeing his believing so i'm not gonna get too high anything like that but scenes will be believing but let's continue to look at his numbers uh so 2020 we talked about that 2019 i look like he was banged up he only had 30 catches 418 yards uh but 2018 he had 113 catches 1300 yards and nine touchdowns oh yeah he was on it and then 2017 91 catches 1200 yards and four touchdowns so yeah this guy has been putting up numbers in 2016 he had 69 catches a little under a thousand yards and five touchdowns so we see the consistency when he's healthy because again 2019 look like that was an anomaly of a year but we see the consistency he's healthy he's putting up numbers so he's used to being that guy at wide receiver he's used to it so him having been that guy at wide receiver for the vikings that could help uh the guys at wide receiver for the ravens um just as a collective unit he could take a lot of attention off of them especially hollywood uh he could get his one-on-one matchups of his own and he could help them get one-on-one matchups so if the ravens do acquire uh an adam feeling yeah it still wouldn't be my first option but i'll be down with it i mean i wouldn't really have no choice but to be but uh so let's see let's see for anyway team keep it clean appreciate y'all i love y'all and just like according to these rumors and reports like adam feeling could soon be with the vikings i'm out


Don't HOT, BABY. Was that cool in the gang? I think it was. No. Who's your mom in gang? First, you better act as you get some Corbin. Underbeard. I'm Rick. Rick, can they follow us, Corbin? On Instagram and Twitter! It's so juicy. Thank you, my dear socials. Patreon, follow us, we should Twitter account.  It's his paranoia. Nope. Yeah, you got me sick. No. But, tonight and well. So, today, don't get me sick again.  It's a little bit of a treat. I don't know if I want to tell you exactly what it is. I think I want to... It has Ranveer. Ranveer? Ranveer? He's right behind my ear. It's true. It's an ad. Okay. With Ranveer Singh? I believe it was his first endorsement deal ever. Okay. So, let's just... Alright, let's do it. And for those of you who are wondering, I wish this was chai, but it's a fine deliciousness of coffee. Mmm. Mmm. Don't ever do that ever again. Thank you so much. Here we go. Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me. Come on, Corbin, you got all that. That is amazing. I was hoping it was all going to be in English. It wasn't. So, I'm sure there was some hilarious stuff that they said in there. 100% directly. And that's okay that you didn't wait until we got the subs. I would like to get the subs. So, this was his first endorsement deal. Endorsement deal. Because I... Yeah. Okay, so the people that... That was... Like, this needs to air in America. Because the condom... They air condom. I don't know how prevalent it is in India. But here they... Condom commercials are pretty prevalent. Yeah. But it's usually just... Oh, hook up, hook up, hook up. Ooh, steamy, steamy, steamy. Right, they're pretty stereotypical, generic. What you see is what you're going to get with each one of those kind of commercials. You used to be back in the day. You only saw them like late night. Like, when Saturday Night Live was on, you'd see them at that time. But now it's become far more common. Nothing mis-created, funny, or catchy. People would be talking about this commercial. This should be... This would be a Super Bowl commercial. Yeah. Honestly, Derek, you could just... Come on, guys. Would it all in English? Do this exact same thing and do it with somebody here in America. Just do it with Grant here. Oh, I know. But see, that's a problem. Nobody would know who the heck he is. It doesn't matter. It's funny. No, I know. It would be funny. And it would be funny. And it would be great exposure. In fact, come on. Everybody's people, this should have been something they could have done, especially with the attention gully boys getting now with the Academy and everything. This could have been a Super Bowl commercial. It came out. Something that happens right around Oscar time. What came out? Maybe they're going to do that. Still in 14s. It was a while ago. Yeah, but still. But, man, you could just... You could save some money direct and just put it in English. Sincerely. Like, because that was hilarious. You make me go... I bet we don't even know the half of it, because we need to see the rest of the words. Yeah. Sadly, we missed some of the words, but I think we got... I mean, it was pretty funny even with... Best... Duh. That was hilarious. Best condom commercial ever. And if you're going to have sex, please use protection, you disgusting, disease-filled monkeys. Let's just good advise that. This, like, if I got, like, normal commercial... Because we've both been on commercial auditions. Yes. They're pretty terrible.  No actor... You very, very rarely get a commercial audition that you're happy to be doing. Yeah. The nice thing about a commercial is that, you know, if you book it, you're going to get paid really, really, really well. Yeah. If it's a commercial, they pay really, really well.  Yeah, because it's usually just look into camera, smile. My least favorite one and most recent memory was an audition I had for... I don't remember the car. Let's say it was Mercedes or BMW, whatever. And I was given...  And you just get a little breakdown, like two sentences of upper-class guy driving his Mercedes through the hills, happy to be alive. Okay? Walk in, there's just a chair, and there's the director and the casting director and one other assistant that's there. And they want you to sit in the chair. It's like, okay, so here's what you're doing. You just drive in the car.  That's it. Okay, now you're going, now you go around that turn, and how good is life? Give me that look. I didn't book it.  Because I sucked! But obviously it's different for stars. They make good commercials for stars. Oh, man, they don't do commercials they don't want to do, so... But I would love to get this breakdown for this commercial. Dude, it's like a con event, so you're like, hmm, I don't know, but you see it and it's amazing. It's a full song. And also, how much did this air in India? It was just an online thing. Maybe it was just an online thing. Could be. I don't know. I would imagine maybe it's just an online ad. I'm not sure if anybody else I can think of in India could do this type of commercial. Not. No. Because that just looked like Ranveer. Exactly, and that's his image. His image has been the party boy, wild, crazy guy. So, yeah, that's a funny commercial. And yes, yes, yes. The commercial does perpetuate the stereotypes that I hate. And I am not a fan of... I'm a big fan of monotony. Let's just put it that way. But he's got the Playboy image and you can differentiate something that's just done for fun and image versus something that's done that's supposed to be propagating. And by the way, everybody, for the kids out there, you got kids, parent your kids. Don't blame it on commercials for taking their minds in certain directions. Talk to them about sex. Talk to them about condoms. When they're what? Three, four? Is that what you're going to do with your son? I'm already talking to him. Oh. But yes, surprise me. Yes, please, please, please, please, please, please. Use protection. Use disease. Disgusting. Build monkeys. Because regardless of if we want people to or not... I'm going to say... People are going to have sex. And I'm not...  Well, that's how you got sick, but we're not going to tell that. Oh.


All right thanks for staying with us. Winder Georgia observed the first doctor's day on March 30th 1933. Dr. Charles B. Armond's wife Eudora Brown Armond wanted to have a date on her physicians and all the community mailed greeting cards and placed flowers on the graves of the disease doctors on this first celebration in 1933 and the red carnation is commonly used as the symbolic flower for national doctor's day. These people they are lifesavers. You can't overemphasize the importance of doctors even though we still have a long way to go in terms of how we treat our doctors in Nigeria. You understand the compensation. I mean we just have to do better. You can't people you should not joke with teachers doctors you know you shouldn't joke with them at all honestly and our security personnel the police guys right you shouldn't joke with those kind of those those are so you know in other times those are prestigious jobs right not something that you look I mean go to the first day I saw police inside Lamborghini in Dubai say hey wow Jonathan and I God when hey I want to be a policeman all of a sudden you know and they look so clean you know and all of that but it's almost like everything that is prestigious outside as a profession is almost like the opposite here you know so when you see people honor these people you would know I mean it's a no-brainer these guys actually save lives you know and they risk their own lives see Dr. Adadev all you know you know they risk their own lives just to keep people alive you know deprive themselves of sleep and everything so the least you can do is at least even just show that you care their salaries their pensions whatever it is make sure that you know it's attractive enough there used to be a time in this country where people turn down oil and gas jobs for teaching professions now is the opposite now everybody's running towards you know so it's a very you know so happy national doctors day and we're hoping that our government will continue to find ways to make the lives of our doctors better the number of people that have left doctors that we have lost and Christine will be saying it's on some way as well all right so who are we starting with let me start with chinello I believe right okay all right um I think we have the video if you can just follow that video where I mean I saw this video and I was just laughing it was funny but at the same time it was not even funny and now this is now when you ask yourself as a parent where do you draw the line when a child is throwing tantrums because this is the heights of it so this child walked into the way in his store and then I think he wanted something and his parents didn't get it for him or something and then he tried to throw a tantrum and cost a scene and then he climbed the tv area and was you know hitting or rather throwing all the TVs imagine those televisions that I'm sure those TVs cost one million or two million or bow so in the name it's not nine years or nine years and shop rides uh-huh yeah if the tv doesn't cost one million why are you throwing tantrums why I want no no no but is it possible that he has a medical condition that's what I was going to say I want he's probably autistic but even at that there are ways to control autistic children in the first place before he got to that point I'm sure he must have shown some um you know signs of you know some he probably should have held him back I like that child like he could even fall from there through Skype no those friends are going through I don't think this is I don't think serious one yes serious one of course they are going to pay for it no but but I think that child has a medical condition he probably has a spectrum disorder I don't think he has any medical condition I think he's just spoiled no no no it's so you can't be that spoiled to that extent oh you can't children are really spoiled you know their parents believe in spoiled your order and spend it but the same bible says the world of correction drives foolishness away so we need to apply the world of correction sometimes because I don't understand how a child the child I gave birth to control this type of tantrum no you will receive what I thought when I saw it was okay this child because I've seen autistic children and I think you can't be very overwhelming sometimes so yeah this child might have um a disorder but even at that before he got to this point and children like that would usually have carers mostly from the video he was with his parents so before he got to this point they were there and then they saw what was going on so they could actually have held him back or something but allowing him get to that point where how did he climb that this truth is that this are knocking those things down this is not the first time this child is doing this clearly it can't be the first time because if it's the first time why would he climb that far because that's the only so the thing is when kids do something your first reaction is it's bad parenting the parents didn't do their job right to get it correct I mean it's just something you see if I if I treat you but you don't know where I'm coming from you don't know if I've had a bad day or if something had happened you judge me based on how I just treated you it's probably when you sit me down and we have conversations I'll tell you oh I had a bad day then you start thinking about it from that angle but once you see something like this the first thing that comes to anybody's mind is the parents did not train him well because this child doesn't have in mind of his own yet he's still a child no this boy is well above 10 he's probably 12 he has in mind that's what I'm saying that I completely agree that he has a spectrum disorder because that is not he's he's a he's a preten he's probably 12 he's not a young so people don't want to see me I mean because you know you know I've got to understand who you are I don't give me because you know what we say I have boys I don't have a female child right and people say that I say see my children no and the things you know maybe he's not he's not a conversation that we've even had but you just know that in this room that I have come even to write the pencil on the wall they didn't do that as children so I'm saying that the only way my brain can process this is that this child must have a disorder do you understand because I cannot understand that you are normal and you act like one of us will go dead that was your story oh my god well my story is quite an interesting one because David Doe has finally come out to say yes he's married I mean we knew right but then it was just speculations here and there because it was no official release that okay he got married or not but now in an interview in a recent interview we had with um Kiki has come out to say that he actually got married and me I'm very happy that he actually got married to Chioma for several reasons I mean fine first of all it might come off as like a conversation considering that she just lost the child but then again I mean I think that just a good match me I'm not happy I don't understand why because my number one my number one is my way to somebody else but okay I'm just I'm just really happy and I'm sure that a lot of people are actually happy about this Chioma anywhere you sit you know don't be fooled braga don't be fooled though yes but I'm happy for them again because you know they lost when they lost their son they were just too many things that happened and I am glad that they actually took a break you know they just went quiet I don't nobody saw this marriage no it was just very hidden just speculations all over the place yeah so I'm happy that you know finally you know I'm just hoping that um they heal from all the pain and everything and again if David Doe can control himself you know because so that what people know post and start in Zagari yeah because you know you see the thing is it's not about marrying look at where Anidibia is so it's almost oh she was one that eventually won because Nashi in Mari but look at the stories that you know so it's beyond just the marriage I mean love her enough to respect her to be faithful to her that's all I'm going to ask David Doe because that's I'm very quiet thank you so my ESCC Arenes XABU VC Bossa for Money Laundry so the former Vice Chancellor of Amadabella University Zarya Professor Ibrahim Gaba and Ibrahim Shehu Usman a former Bossa of the same university have been arraigned on a nine counts charge bordering on fraud so I think they learned that it's you know of over one billion Naira it looks like you have seen catching a lot of people these days you thought we just catching in the educational circuit yeah you know they were jammed the story I took was jammed five billion I think that was it the one I took him and his children because you see that's what I was saying to you that education is so like you know people like turn a blind eye there's a lot of money in that sector that you see all these strikes and everything if we even just decide that we want to block the leakage in the educational sector it will be enough to pay so we will not be going on all these strikes the worst yes so well because nobody's paying attention oh is this one of them five billion here in a family now today he says how much one billion why so my son is actually black china's what's he called saying that she had taken off the silicon and everything and again I think it's coming off of the back that she gave her life to christ and she's now a born again child of god she went to get her baptism done and you know and she's now flaunting her natural car that doesn't look bad you know the funny thing is she's so petite and so cute and you know and all of that so I mean that's why for me you know I didn't even see this story coming when I said we should just discuss because what really informed the discussion around bbl was more of the death it just occurred to me that why are people just dying for nothing who are you trying to impress right so I mean so I'm happy for her as she I mean she's I need to get to that level of self-love right confidence you know you must love yourself enough to say you know what because these things are not healthy I remember you know what maybe we should take a break because we'll come back from the break because that's our conversation for today we'll discuss more on this because not then Kardashian I start this madness they are names they don't go back to exactly this one with us stay with us we'll be right back


I guess good to go. You have six on the way, Brad. Oh, we can get started. That's right, Scott. Yeah, go for it. OK, so this is the Development Review Board meeting for Burlington for September 7th. And we are doing this via Zoom and in person at the permitting offices. Is that the official name, Scott? Department of Permitting and Inspections. OK, there we go. That's where this is coming from. OK, we take up items that they are in order on the agenda. And when we take up each item, we ask that Scott will look for people to raise their hand and admit them to the meeting to participate in each item as we call it. We swear people in as appropriate at that time. Also, that Scott would like a mailing address to each person that intends to participate in the hearing. And we have one change to the agenda, right, Scott? We have the article 8 discussion with David, then push back to your next agenda on the 21st. OK, other than that, there's no changes to the agenda? Correct. OK, communications, everything's posted, right? Everything's online. OK, minutes. There were no minutes attached to this one, so good. So we get right to the agenda here. The first time consent item is 180 interval road. Is the applicant here for that? Yeah. Patrick Fencey from Manor Rail Center is here. Patrick. Hey, Alex. Hi, everyone. Is anybody else here to speak on 180 interval road?  Nobody here and no one on Zoom is raising their hand. Well, it's too bad this is on consent. A floating bridge and a pond. I mean, we don't get to deal with that very often, but. Yeah. Anyways, Patrick, this is on for consent, which means the staff has recommended approval. Have you seen the staff's recommendations? Yes. Are you OK with that? Yeah. OK, everybody on the board object to treating this as a consent item. And does somebody want to make a motion? Make a motion. OK. On ZP 21573 180 interval road, I recommend that we approve the application and adopt staff findings. Here a second on that? I'll second. Is it Caitlin? OK. Any discussion? All in favor? Opposed? It's unanimous. OK, thank you. Thanks, Patrick. You're all approved here. Thanks very much. OK, I didn't know we had a little pond back there. OK, now we get to the public hearing. The first item is 38 Latham Court. Is the applicant here for that? Mark McGee. Mark, you can speak. Hello. Good afternoon, everybody. Is anybody else here to speak on 38 Latham Court? And we have one person in person. And two people on Zoom. Oh, OK. OK. So we have Sharon on the phone and Warren from G4 Design. And what's your name? My name's Kevin Melendicke. I represent the Genesis, who owns property across the street through the war. OK, so we've got one, two, three, four people. Is that right, Scott? Yeah. OK, can I ask the four of you to raise your right hand and swear that you tell the truth and hold truth under pain and penalty or perjury? I do. I do. I do. OK. So do you want to start with Mark McGee? That is correct. Thank you, everybody. Appreciate the opportunity to speak to you on this matter. My name's Mark McGee. And I, along with my wife, Valerie, own 38 Latham Court and have owned our home since 2008. We recently returned to our home here in Burlington after living in southern Vermont for the last few years. We spent nine years living in Guilford, which is a very rural community. And after deciding that we wanted to return to Burlington to, in many respects, really shrink our carbon footprint in meaningful ways, decrease our reliance on automobiles for transit, et cetera. We made plans to return to our home, which we retained ownership of and had been renting out for the previous nine years. And in the process, since we moved away, we have since started a family. We now have an eight-year-old son who is enrolled at Edmunds Middle School. And in terms of our thinking around how to use our space, we really wanted to be very thoughtful about how to really maximize our ability to reduce our carbon footprint, our reliance on automobile transportation, and really maximize our interest in trying to live as sustainable a family life as we possibly could can. And so part of that involves relying on bicycle transportation almost exclusively, growing as much of our food as possible, and to every extent possible, working remotely from home and thus eliminating the need to commute to and from work. And so we worked with G4 Design to come up with the design that has been presented and reviewed by the Design Advisory Board. And the intended purpose of the renovation is to remove the old garage shed, which in its current state is really only functionally appropriate for storage and is noted in Ms. and Nail's report is not even big enough to store a full-size automobile and to design a structure that is more in keeping with not only our current needs, but also anticipated needs for future generations. And I want to thank and applaud our design team at G4 for coming up with the design that you folks see now. I think having lived for the last nearly decade in rural Vermont from a design standpoint, we really appreciate some of the kind of vernacular features associated that mimic really archetypal barn design throughout the state, while also maintaining some important sympathetic designs to the historic main structure of our home, which we love and adore. In terms of the intended use, the first floor is intended as a shop space to store and maintain our family's bicycles in a former life. I worked as a bicycle mechanic. And so bicycle transportation has been near and dear to my heart. And for me personally, I believe it's an important part of living a more sustainable and low-impact lifestyle. And so storing and maintaining bicycles along with various tools and other trailers and such for a bicycle family living in the city is part of the intended purpose of the first floor, along with space to allow for small woodworking area and tool storage to maintain our interest in gardening. In terms of the second floor, the second floor is designed and intended as a home office space and exclusively for a home office space. I did want to, if I may, just take a moment to respond to the letter that I know the Genesis family has submitted. They are neighbors across, while they are property, they own the property directly across the road from us, as I understand it, at 39 Latham Court. And as I understand it, they rent the property currently, I think, to three or perhaps four young women, as it is. They are concerned about the commercial use of this renovation and in no way is this design and renovation intended for any business purposes. It's typically just for personal and family use, again, as I described. In terms of their concerns about increased traffic and increased parking pressure, as noted, our intention in returning to Burlington in our home and this whole design is really to intend to decrease our carbon footprint decrease, our reliance on automobile. And since we've been here, when we moved back in July, we have since reduced our motor vehicles by 50% and thus removed one vehicle from the streets of Burlington as well as one vehicle from the parking pressures on Latham Court. As for parking pressures, obviously as many of you folks may know, that's an issue that's managed by the Department of Public Works and the Police Department and they keep close ties on the issuance of residential permits and any parking on the street does obviously require a residential permit. But as it stands now, we have exactly one motor vehicle, which we park exclusively in our driveway. So I just want to reiterate to the board that the intention of this renovation and this design is exclusively for families as described and has no purpose, no interest currently or ever in the future of being operated as a business of any kind whatsoever. A couple of things that I do want to just take a moment to point out, understanding that the garage shed is considered a historic resource, understanding that and in the process of this review process, I've undertaken extensive efforts to try to preserve, relocate and to whatever degree possible, preserve the structure in whatever extent possible. I called everybody that I can possibly imagine in the immediate community, including the UVM, Historic Preservation, Historic Preservation down in Montpelier, resource have made numerous efforts to try to preserve it in whatever practical way possible. As is noted in Ms. Anil's report, despite these extensive efforts, I was unable to identify anybody who was willing to take and preserve or remove the building. I went so far as to call a building mover and inquire about what would be involved in physically relocating the building. And I was informed that the cost simply to remove it from the property and relocate it somewhere else, even if it were just a very short distance away, would have been quite considerable and exorbitant. And in terms of some of the other rationale that has been considered in terms of our application with the Design Advisory Board, was around the economic impact of renovating the building or renovating the garage shed. In my view, there's no way that we can redevelop the existing shed in any meaningful way to meet the needs that we spelled out in terms of how we hope to be able to use and benefit from our property. And I think not being able to move forward in this way, I think would also substantially limit our ability to maximize one, the utility, to future historic value and significance of the property and three, the economic value of the property. And so that in a nutshell is the intent, the rationale behind the design and our motivation for requesting permission to move forward with this project. Okay, fairly thorough explanation there. Before we move on, are there questions for the applicant from the board? I'm not seeing all the board at one time, so if somebody has questions, please speak to the board. Here we go, okay. It does seem fairly straightforward. Is there, and it looks like you're right at the maximum lot coverages. Am I reading that right in terms of your site plan? Yeah, as noted in the site plan, the proposed renovation is actually a slight, very smidge smaller than what the current lot coverages. But as ought to be noted, we had the land and property surveyed because we understood that the variances would be quite small and we made considerable, we took great care to ensure that the proposed renovation in no way exceeded the allowable lot coverage. And in fact, we got under that existing lot coverage, by a little bit. I see a 39.22 instead of 39.69. Exactly. Just a smidge, I didn't say. It's okay, you're still under 40. So you're, and you might have one or two things in there that a few things that aren't actually under that, that are sort of a bonus coverage. Yeah, yeah, there's some ancillary coverage. We were aware of that. Yes, okay. And you have your architect here and is there anything that you wanted to add? Is that Warren? Yes. No, I think Mark pretty much covered everything. One thing I mean, I guess you already kind of covered is the design intent that we went through with the DAB. We actually went through two design iterations. This is the second iteration after that, first initial meeting with the board and we took all their thoughts and comments into consideration and we changed our design to be more sympathetic, but not matching the existing house identically to give a false impression that it's original. So it's distinct, but also sympathetic to the original house design and also the original garage design as well, which gives kind of remembrance to the original garage and not that we're just replacing it and being done with it. We want to also remember what we used to be there. I have a question for you that has absolutely nothing to do with an area that we have any approval over, but I am curious, I look at your plan and I see that your stair jogs to maintain that four and a half foot wide entry, it just seems that you could do the stair without that jog and push it into the entry a little bit. It just seems given how narrow everything is. Some reason to have that jog in the stair. We could, and the main reason is we wanted to maintain that four foot six mudroom entryway and we couldn't shrink it down to maybe four feet, but ideally the four foot six has fit everything a lot better. They have Mark as an existing bench that he wanted to fit in that mudroom area. So that's just kind of where that number came from. The other thing is the setback issue. If you go to the site plan, you'll see that we're right up against the stack. So we can't push that building any farther down. But yeah, ideally we would love to get rid of the jog but realistically, I don't see that the way around it. Just curious about that. Yeah. Okay. I'll just ask any other questions from the board. There's two folks. There's the one person representing the neighbors and Sharon Buescher. Mr. Donahue, are you, is that? Yes. It says Allie Davis, but I'm not Allie. I know. So you're representing people across the street concerned about the commercial nature of the property, which seems not to be the case, but... Yeah, that's correct. And I think with the genesis, the word that caught them was the use of the word shop. That kind of, instead of a garage space, I think the word shop all of a sudden came up and they were thinking of welding automobiles back together and things of that nature that could occur and people coming and going. Either it's some kind of a mechanical shop or just commercial. Mark seems to have answered that question. Going forward, should he sell the property? Is there something in the approval that could make sure that someone else doesn't come in and say, this is nicely set up for X, Y, and Z? If you can use their property in a variety of ways for the personal use, if they'd need to do it for commercial use, they'd have to come back before us for any reason at all. So. And I think the genesis, I haven't seen the design, the design looks good. I think anybody who improves the property on the street is met with favorable opinions. Thank you. And Sharon, do you have anything you wanted to add here? Yes. Can you hear me, Brad? Oh, yeah. Okay. Yes, thank you for considering my comments. So I read the staff recommendations and the submission. And so I had one comment, which I'll say for the end, but then a couple of questions, which I think has been addressed, but in the description of the applicant stated, the applicant stated, his initial use of the property for repairing his own bicycles and might even expand that to neighborhood bicycles or others. And I think my property of butts lay some court, my property about Selena Colburn and Chris Burns property, and then another neighbor that rents. But it's a dead end street. It has no sidewalks. It's a very, I used to take Selena home after city council meetings and I dreaded it, not because I didn't want to take her home, but navigating that street. So I'm sympathetic to any increased traffic.  Right now it's not a business. It's for the owner's use, not for neighbors and others to come to have their bikes repaired. That's my understanding from the conversation that just occurred. The second piece is that if somebody works from home, that reduces their traffic, but I don't know what the individual does now and whether or not there'll be a lot of deliveries of stuff on the street, a lot more UPS, FedEx, whatever, I wasn't quite clear about that. So that can increase traffic even indirectly. And so that was another question that occurred to me because of the nature of that street and that neighborhood. And I didn't hear that addressed. And then the next piece has to do with the historic garage, which I did call staff and spoke with Mary regarding it because in the comments it stated that although it is vintage and historic, there are other examples of this around in the region and the state, I guess. My concern is that if we don't know how many there are, everybody could be eliminating these and then there'll be none. And I'm not trying to target this applicant, but I think there's a vulnerability here. And I did find out that a number of these garages are whatever they're called something else because of when they were built and to house the automobile. But anyways, a number of them have already been torn down and replaced. So I just feel like we as a community and a society, I think we should want to have some, not just a memory or maybe a fainted photograph, but I think we wanna have some representation of historic structures that had significance. And I'm very concerned about this. And I appreciate the fact that the owner tried to find someone that would be the recipient of this structure. I appreciate that, but I'm still very concerned about the loss of it. And I understood the activities that, he said it's not big enough for a car, but it is big enough for bikes and maybe tools to store his garden tools. I'm a gardener, so I really do know what space is required.  So anyways, I just wanted to bring all of these comments forward. What looks very straightforward, I think does have some underlying questions and concerns. Thank you. Thanks Sharon. May I request to just respond to Sharon's comments? Sure. Hi Sharon, Mark McGee here. I think we met recently as I was walking on my dog Pepper by your house. Mark, thanks for being formal on this, that you're actually addressing the board at this point. Oh, okay, I'm sorry. So to address Sharon's comments, one of the things, I mean, in terms of the intended use, when I had offered that my interest in bicycle repair and maintenance, it really dates back years when in a previous life, I worked as a bicycle mechanic, I taught bicycle mechanics and very much enjoyed the teaching process and really helping empower people, be able to fix their own bicycles and therefore be less reliant on others for doing so. And in no intention is that interest professional in terms of any sort of business. And if there is any sort of use of the space in that way, it would be a neighbor brings their bike over and I perhaps show them how to fix a flat tire or that type of thing. The intent is not to bring more traffic on Latham Court. There's already plenty of traffic on Latham Court and I would hope to see traffic diminished on Latham Court. And so that aspect I think is not of significant concern in terms of increasing the traffic because that would really be antithetical to what our whole intention is. And to address the comment about increased package delivery, I can tell you, I'm a physician, I work from home, I do telemedicine and so I have everything that I need to conduct my business at a desk, I need a computer, I need a high speed internet, I don't need anything else.  And so that issue would not be of concern in terms of how my work from home model works. And so I appreciate Sharon's comments and I hope the board would consider that response. Okay, thank you. Any further questions from the board for the applicant at this point? I think we have a fairly good question for this. Mary, was there anything you wanted to add at this point? Thank you. That was a no read. Okay, it's hard to hear. Okay, well with that, we will probably deliberate at the end of tonight's meeting and I will close the public hearing at this point. Thanks everybody for participating. Okay, so our next item is 140 ledge road. Is the grad, I'm recused on this one. So am I. Oh, down to I should recuse as well. We still have enough people to hear it. No, no, we have Chase. Yeah, that's right. Chase, we have four. That's right. You're not very few as Chase, right? Okay, boy, a lot of us must be a popular spot, huh? So who's Jeff, AJ, and Caitlin, right? Those are the three who are recused on this. Yeah. Okay, so moving on, is the applicant here? Do you have the applicant? Okay. And. Donna, you were on. Okay, and is there anybody else who is from the public or anybody else who wants to speak on this? Let me see, Peter Smiar. Smiar, and can you guys hear me? Yeah. Okay. Okay, and anybody else? Just so we have two people, Donna and Peter, right? Like Donna and Peter to speak on this one. Okay, so would the two of you raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth and hold truth on the pain and penalty of perjury? I do. I do. Okay, so it's an unusual situation where you need a variance basically to be within the footprint of what exists, it seems. So maybe you want to just give a quick rundown on what you're actually proposing because it actually was a little hard to read. I had to go back and forth. It was like one of those Sunday comics to figure out what's the difference here. Your footprint didn't change other than in that little corner where you have patio now, right? Yeah, and this is Peter Smiar. I'll give it, I'm the owner and the applicant and Donna's here for help. Thanks, Donna.  We'll try to get you through this one quicker than the last one. Didn't realize we were so popular when there were three people were accusing themselves. So, and I guess for logistics, should I be sharing or what do you want to do as far as the plans? Whatever's simpler. I mean, Scott, did you put this up? I just put this up, Peter. If you want to share, it'll just take me a moment. I'll do that. I'll give a quick overview. I promise to keep it short. Okay. Just hold on a sec. I got to switch your status, Peter. So I join as a panelist. Yeah. So then you, once you do that you can share your screen. Is that how it works, Scott? Yeah. Okay. So you guys should be seeing my screen now. Not yet. Not yet. Oh, sorry. Now we are. Okay. So yeah, Peter Smiery owned the house at 140 Ledge Road with my wife, Nicole Dainey. We moved here in 2018 after 15 years of living on Loomis Street looking for a larger lot and larger house in which to raise our kids which both go to Edmonds. So bought it in 2018. I've been planning a little bit of a remodel project which has been somewhat made a lot more interesting by COVID and things like that. So it's been a funny time to do this project. But I'll give you an overview. The house lies at the corner of Ledge Road which is shown here. So north is up. The house is right here. This is where Prospect sort of swoops down and becomes Ledge Road up by the country club. And then as you come down hill toward the west there's a right hand turn into a dead end street here which is Edgewood Lane which has five other homes on it and our house is the corner lot on that property. So it's an existing craft some bungalow. I'll show you some quick pictures. These are ones that were submitted with the application. So I don't know how well they'll show up on your screen but this is the view from Ledge Road. This is the Southern facade. This is sort of a view from the south. Standing at this looking at the Southern and Western facades. This addition was built in I believe 92 in the early 90s by the previous owner. You can see now we have some sort of mismatched windows that were put in we believe in the 70s. The ground floor of the house in here remains more or less appears to be more or less original. And then here's a view from the west. So this is standing on Edgewood Lane. And so this is our yard off of Edgewood Lane. We have a small garage to the north of the house. You can see that sunroom addition. Just while we have the benefit of the picture up I'll show you that we're proposing a shed addition right here on the back on the upstairs. And then this is that view from the back as we're calling the area of renovation. So again, the sunroom for reference this is sort of a north side and the west side. You can see an existing gable dormer there. And then this is a three season porch for not sure if it's original or not but three season porch off of that side and then our driveway and yard. Going back to I guess I'm gonna step into the site plans now. Well, why don't I just tell you what we're doing? So what we would like to do is the house is very tired upstairs. It looks like it was last remodeled probably 30 years ago. It's electric baseboard heat. The windows are rotting out. I mean, the place we bought it was very tired. Needs a lot of work as does the kitchen which is pretty beat up as well. So we'd like to renovate the upstairs and the kitchen and put a couple bathrooms in and renovate a bathroom. So that's the project. We I'll show you quickly just in terms of drawing views. This is the existing south elevation. We're not making many changes there except the window here, existing west elevation. And we talked about some of the mismatching windows in the addition. This is the kitchen here, three season porch. This is the north side where we'd be doing most of the work. I see the three season porch is shown here and the existing east side of the house which wasn't in the pictures but this the but the property. We don't really see this much from the street but you can see the three season porch again and the existing dormers on either side of the house. And these are bedrooms upstairs that have these small old casement windows. So as far as what we're proposing, again, not much on the south. We'd like to put a new window in there. Part of what we're trying to do is sort of clean up the windows and give a more comprehensive look to the house and have some of the windows match. So we're trying to correct some of the ills of the past that were done to the house over the years. This really shows you a view of what we'd like to do. So removal of the three season porch and replace it with a four season mudroom and kitchen to expand the kitchen. The advantage of that is it lets us leave this downstairs alone. We have some nice coffered ceilings in here and this area really doesn't need much at all. So rather than try to make space downstairs by going into that space and sort of tearing up the old stuff, if we bump the kitchen out a little bit that's a very efficient way to get some more space downstairs. And then what we would like to do here is add a shed dormer off the back. We've chosen this side of the house, of course, just because it's the least visible from the corner streets. And it gives us some room to get a reasonable bathroom upstairs and give us some more room to circulate around in here. There's no increase in the number of bedrooms but it just gives us a ceiling height and some much more functioning space for the family. And then, so this is a view of the north side of the same dormer. We're gonna differentiate the materials a little bit. The house is stucco now. We don't necessarily want more stucco and partly due to a lack of craftspeople who can use it well or are willing to do it for us. But we're looking at some hardy board siding on the side here to try to give a somewhat modern look but while still sort of honoring the craftsman feel. So I think that's probably a good overview of the project. So the challenge we have is when Brad, as you mentioned, we have an unusual situation with the front yard setback. So the house is 100 years old and sort of sits where it does. But when we calculate them per the bylaw, it's the two adjacent properties. And you can see the two adjacent properties on ledge road are basically behind our property line. So it puts our front yard setback behind our house, more or less. And so that's why we're here. We're requesting a variance for the front yard setback off of ledge road to allow us to do the work on the back of the house. There is no increase in footprint here aside from a small little piece of additional pavement or walkway that's gonna go into access the new door location. I can show you that on the next plan here. So this is proposed site plan. So the proposed site plan shows that additional area shows where the new porch would be. And it really sits on top of an existing concrete slab that's back there. So not much change in lot coverage aside from this, but we're well under our level because we have a good size lot. So I'm gonna stop there. That's our overview. And I'll leave it, I'll leave it at that. Unless Mary the board feels there's more information we should be going over. Okay.  I guess it's one of those things that's not of your making. So are there questions from members of the board at this point, the applicant? I'm gonna, I can't see people. So I'm gonna have to speak up if you have something to say. I'm gonna, I have a question. And maybe this is for Mary as much as for the applicant. This is that realm where one's supposed to differentiate between new and existing. But I see that a lot of the new windows appear to be double hung windows. Is that right, Peter? We're doing a blend. Let me look here. No, they just look so different. You've got the sort of transom look on the top and you do it a double hung window. They just, they look sort of jar. I mean, that side there is all, you know the matching the casement windows, right? That's there. Yeah, I mean, the windows, there aren't many original windows left on the house. Style-wise. Yeah, style-wise. And we, yeah.  So yes, these are all casements to match these. We like these just letting in more light. So was the comment more on the east? East and north. Okay, so north. Yeah, I mean, that looks just the windows on the dorma look very strange. On the east elevation. Sorry, this is Donna Church chiming in. Those three windows downstairs are already double hunks. Those are existing windows. Existing double hunks. We're just changing. They had a different pattern for the window style slightly. So we were changing them to new windows because we're trying to put all new windows and make it, you know, a better, more efficient house. So that's partially why like the house already has a variety of window types in it. So with having those on this side, we've matched it up above and then wrapped the corner because, you know, on the rear, there was also an existing double hung window. I think particularly on the east side, what we were trying to do is I don't, I'd have to confirm, but I'm not sure if we can get an insert casement. I mean, we would like to go with casements, but the inserts here seem to want to be double hunks. And so we tried to match the double hung with the upper. Usually insert, you're throwing a replacement like that was what you did. Yes, yes, sorry. You can get those in different sizes. I don't think that's a determining fact. It may not matter. It may not, I don't know if that's how relevant that is to our review, it may come in. Just to me, it was the way they did it before with the months in pattern and the double hunks was just a little bit less jarring than this month in pattern that you have here, but. One challenge is we are finding that those windows to replace those have a 20 to 25 week lead time right now. And that's been our challenge. We've been wanting to go with quite frankly, maybe some other window choices, but the reality is that it puts us out several months and makes our project unviable. The project's already sat for a year because of finding a contractor during COVID. So I know it's not a very exciting answer, but the realities are we have supply chain issues that are affecting our projects. It is true. And they'll deliver us that way out there. Okay. And the ones on the north side, you just felt those are better suited for the project of double hunks. On the north. Yeah. It's really the same consideration. I mean, we'll, we just found that this, the Marvin signatures were not available and we can't get that sort of prairie style cut glass cuts in the signature, we can only get them in like a wood fiberglass within a reasonable amount of time. These are very important to me too. The windows, I'm driving my wife crazy, but I'm having to compromise as well with, with some of these choices, but we think we're trying to make it as cohesive as possible around the house. And these two sides are the sides of house and our furthest from the street. They're more sort of on the east and north. So this is how we ended up going this direction. Are we looking at two bedrooms in that dorm or facing north? These are actually two bathrooms and a hallway. Okay. Any other questions for the board at this point? Can I go through everybody here? I think we're sort of all quite on it. And it's a nice looking house. It's a, you know, I admired it, ledger out quite often and we love this house. We feel very lucky to be able to have grabbed it when it came up. Yeah. And it's just an unusual thing that staying within the footprint requires you to come before the board to get a variant. So, yeah, that. Okay. So unless there's anything that you want to add or any other questions from members of the board, and again, we will probably deliberate at the end of tonight's meeting. Okay. I will close public hearing at this point. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. So next thing is 166 East Avenue. And that person's coming back. Is that public comment? Is that somebody participating in this? Got? Yeah. We don't hear anyone else. I see. That's public. Is, so is the applicant here for 166 East Avenue? I am looking for the applicant and I don't see her. If, yeah, I don't see the applicant here, Brad. If for a chance you're here representing the applicant, raise your hand. Yeah. Now, do we want to go to the other agenda item and then circle back to this and see if the applicant appears? Sure. Sure. Go to 81 Dunder Road. Yeah. Is the applicant here for that? Yep. Yeah, Jonathan Heller. Jonathan, you can speak. At least one other Tom Walsh and perhaps some others who want to speak. So is this just a point of clarification, Scott? Is this a public hearing or is it some sort of a meeting? Mm-hmm. Stay here, though. It's not a public hearing. It's just an informational thing, so we'll find you out. This is not a public hearing per se, but this is in follow-up to the board's amended permit condition about a timeline for installing the fence. So it's basically a check-in. Folks can weigh in if they want. Okay. So, and somebody's here besides Jonathan, is that right? Yeah, we have Tom Walsh and maybe one or two other folks. Okay. And they'll have the ability to speak when they're ready for them. Okay.  Is that right? Yeah. And with the commitment to finish, what's your finished state that you're supposed to hit? Can you refresh me? December 17th is the date that the board put on for a finished date. Okay. And how do you think you're doing on that? I'm doing great. What do you think you're gonna finish by? Probably about two weeks, I'd say, barring strange weather or COVID complications. Okay. And you sent a picture of what you are expecting to finish fence to look like. Correct. Horizontal boarding. Excuse me? And the horizontal boarding. Do you have all the materials on site at this point? Correct. You do. Okay. Well, actually I'm still waiting for some stainless steel nails, but they're supposed to come in tomorrow. Ah, okay. Good. So, I think, yeah, everything else is on site. Okay. Questions from the board for the applicants here? No. Okay. I have to hear the public comment. Yeah. Okay. So we have Jonathan take a moment to hear who, you said Tom Walsh is here and somebody else. Is that true? Yeah. I made the assumptions that Tom and others might want to speak. So if you actually want to speak on this item, raise your hand, please. And so I can enable you to speak. So Tom Walsh does want to speak. So Tom. Oh, Tom. Please speak. Hello, everyone. I just have three questions. As I understand it, there's no zoning permit or building permit required for the fence. From the site plan, it's hard to tell. I assume this fence is offset from the property line. And if it is, how far? My second question is, what will the finished height of the fence be? And thirdly, on what side of the posts will the horizontal wood pieces be fixed? Good question. I will note that the standard on fences, I believe this is true, Scott, or Ryan, I mean, if I'm wrong, but the finished side of the fence has to face the neighbors. That's correct. Yes. So the boards will be facing your side, Tom. Okay. The other questions we'll have to add. Those are three questions? Yes. Okay. Let's pose them right now to Jonathan. So what is the height of this? Well, it's going to range in height from, I'd say between three to nine, possibly nine foot, two, three inches at one point. I'm not sure. What were the other questions? What's determining the height? Yeah. Code and privacy? So when it's three foot nine, that doesn't sound like you're getting much privacy out of it. Well, it has to be three feet. It can be no taller than three feet for the first two sections of the fence. That's the clear sight triangle that's required for driveway. Okay. So it's standard. Yeah. And then after that, Jonathan? From there, it's going to jump up to about eight feet. I actually don't have enough materials to go eight feet. I have enough materials to go six feet, but I have posts installed to go eight feet. So I'm planning to bring it up, hopefully when I'm fully complete, so I can bring it up to six feet within two weeks. I can't get to eight feet within two weeks. Okay. And the other question was, how far off your property line are you with the fence? Approximately two feet. So you're two feet onto your side of the property. Correct. Good. I'm not going through back and forth things, but I think those, was that that was the only things you were going to ask Tom? Is that true? That is true. And as far as I'm concerned, the higher the better, because that'll just be more privacy for all. So I'm fine with that. Right. And was there somebody else, Scott, who wanted to speak? They raised their hand, Brad. Pardon? No one else has raised their hand. Okay. No, is the answer. So I guess this is going to be a question for the board. Just, my tendency is to say, well, gee, let's at least get a progress report in two or three weeks, some photos or something submitted just to the staff, just to make sure progress is happening. I guess that's something we can do in deliberative. So, so I think that's a, unless the board, anybody on the board has questions for the applicant. Well, thank you for attending, Jonathan. Thank you guys for your time. Okay. Good. Then we'll go back to our other agenda item, which is 166 East Avenue. She's still not here, the applicant. Let's hear her. Okay. Can we just continue this to another agenda? Yeah. October 5th, I think it's the next year, what do you mean, next available? Do we need a motion to do that? Yeah. Does somebody want to make a motion on that? I'll make a motion. So this is on DP 21481. I move that we continue the hearing to October, did you say 5th? Yeah. October 5th.  Okay, any discussion? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? That's again a unanimous. Okay. And we have no article eight overview, which I know everybody. That'll be 921, David White. Everybody's disappointed about that, but we'll have to wait. So we have no other work tonight. Is that true? That's it. Okay. So we will close the development review board meeting. Wait, Scott, wasn't there an article eight overview? That's what we were just talking about. That'll go to September 21. Okay, sorry. That's all right, I understand that. Yeah. Is everybody okay deliberating tonight on the items that we had before us? Sure. Good. Okay, so. Recording stopped. So they seem, my view is everything seemed pretty straightforward tonight. We have Latham Court. I have seen a few of those garages around town. There's one that I know of that is not in danger because it's so far in the back of the property, they don't even have driveway to it anymore. Just a nice little storage thing in the back of the yard. So there's one that's gonna remain. I know that was in good shape. I can understand how it's just hard to use. I guess that was the, that's really the only tension thing. The idea of moving it sounds quite nice, but I'm sure they could reconstruct it for a lot less money than moving it. I mean, I don't feel like they have met the standards of the ordinance. I mean, we can agree or disagree on it, but maybe it's easy when we're saying it's a garage, it doesn't matter as much, but if we say that it's to the community benefit to have the homeowner have a house that they can use better, I feel like that allows us to then say you can demolish any historic home as well under the same standard. There's not different standards for historical home versus the accessory buildings. So I don't see, they have to meet the standards of demolition and the only one that comes close is community-wide benefit. And I don't see how this family having a better house for themselves is a community-wide benefit. I guess it gives me pause when somebody has something that is of so little actual use. Is it really fair to keep it as an artifact of historic nature without any real current purpose? Given the height with dimensions of the building and everything else, you couldn't add on top of it. So you're, I can just leave it as for historic completeness. For me, that's an issue to be addressed in the ordinance, not us deciding to let the ordinance not hold in this case. Where do other people come down on the historic nature of that garage? I don't disagree with you, Caitlin. I also think that I sometimes feel we have to stay in somewhat in the real world. I mean, it's like the person was here for the variance. I mean, variances are really hard to give. They're really not, they're supposed to be rare, but what an oddity that this house has been there a hundred years because of how the ordinance subsequently created. They really have no legal right within the ordinance to do anything to their house. Yeah, I don't have any problems with the 38th Lincoln Court. I mean, I think they did their due diligence to try and find a way to save the garage. They're incorporating many of the design elements of the garage into the new building. It seems like the applicant is putting together potentially useful community resource in the sense that he's testified and said in his materials that they're gonna be doing some bicycle education courses and things like that through the workshop. So to me, I don't see any problem with it. It seems the easiest way to reuse this thing would be if they got a variance on the lot coverage, just move it to another corner of the property and leave it there as a whole garden shed. That would be great, but they can't do that either. Okay, I guess we'll see how people feel about the historic nature of this. If anybody wanna make a motion on 38th Lincoln Court, let's see here. We heard about just waiting. Pardon? But I have my finger on the record button just waiting. Well, I'm trying to get to the... I can make a motion. Okay, great. Recording in progress. So on 38th Latham Court, ZP 21-0918CACU and ZP 21-213. I move that we approve the application and adopt staff's findings and decisions. So a second on that, broke seconds. Okay, I was just looking through it. The conditions approval are pretty straightforward. Any discussion? All in favor, it's gonna be an opposed. One, okay. So we've got three, two, four, six, six to one. Okay, it's approved. Recording stopped. So 140 Ledge Road. Can we skip to Dunder Road since three of us. Oh yeah, okay. Dunder Road, is there anything we need to do on that? There's anything you need to do. I had the condition said come in for a status check when he had a contract and he did. The second half of that is be done by December. So you can request that, I'll say request informally that he give us a status update. I don't think we can do anything formally. I mean, it wasn't public hearing. There wasn't an open permit for us to issue another condition to. So I'm sort of with Scott, we could informally ask can we come back, but I don't think we can actually order him to do anything. So I don't think it's really an action item for us. I agree. So what do we do come December 17th? Do we, what kind of verification do we get then? We want to see that it's done. Yeah. We do, is that a request that's been made to the applicant? That's in the condition that he needs to be done by then. So can we ask that he provide documentation that it's complete by December 17th? We will as staff because that's in the permit condition. Okay. Good. So then we don't need to do anything else on this. Okay. So the people were recused on 1.4 ledger over. Before I step off, I'm recused on that one, but I just, I came in during the intervail application at the very beginning. And I just want the notes to be clear that I did not vote on that. I should have been recused from that. So it may have been unclear since it was a consent item. Thanks, Jeff. Okay. Thank you all. You're welcome. Now we have those of us left. We have 140 ledger over. I really have zero issue with the setback changes. And I don't, I mean, I find the fenestration of the house to be very disappointing given the nature of that house. As bad as the windows were before these to me are worse. And I don't know that we have that. This was not a design advisory board item. Was it, this did not go before the design advisory board. Why not? It's not a design advisory district. The building permit record showed that the upstairs windows, the upstairs had been renovated in 1975, including all new windows. And the conversion of the screen porch to a mudroom was new development. So we were really working within an existing footprint and changes were in locations where there had already been alterations. So there were, although it was, it is listed within the Historic Sites and Structure Survey where changes were proposed, there had been changes previous to now. Otherwise, if those hadn't been made, it would have been a design advisory board. So if they start down the wrong path, they get to continue this basic message. Well, once windows are changed, then it becomes the property owner's discretion. Okay. Well, let me go back to the staff report here because this is really just mainly about the setbacks in the staff report here. I get to it, yes. Yeah. It's basically the variance approval. That's really what we're approving here. Yeah, I know. Okay. So, as disappointed as I am, I'm gonna make an emotion on this. Recording in progress. Okay, on ZP 21, 611, 140, Ledger Road, I move that we approve the variance request and the conditions of approval. Is there a second? We'll second. Brooks. Any discussion on this one? I guess, yeah, other than the windows, it's a nice house. Anyways, okay. All in favor? Opposed? One, two, three, four. Four is approved. Recording stopped. Okay. All right. Good meeting. So, next time. Yeah. Take care, everyone here. Very good. Yeah, much, much.


Activity is for developing oral expression in the school system. So oral expression means that you are actually doing practice of speaking or orally you are giving the expression in the school that what activities are important to give you oral expression platform or practice. First of all, teacher should create the context for language learning. This means that this is the Urdu class, this is the English class, this is the German class and for the German class or for the English class, then teacher should arrange activities according to the language and whatever the language activities children need to learn according to their age level that is very important. So here maintain eye contact, you know it is very important because some children are showing interest in learning a language and some are looking here and there and some are in their talks, some are in their activities, so in this way the whole class does not learn that language in that way. So the teacher should have an eye contact with every child in the class of that language and every child should be involved in it, should give the opportunity to participate in it. And ask small questions to children, whatever you want to take the expression from them, then you can start a topic that I, you know yesterday, I watched a movie and tell them the story of the movie. After that you should ask that the character, the negative character in it, then you should ask him what is your opinion, what should be the punishment for that. So these small questions take a lot of interest in movies, you can ask your children even to watch a movie or you can suggest the name of the movie and after watching the movie, when the children watch the movie, honestly speaking to improve the language, English language, you should watch movies because you will hear the accent of the characters and then you will understand whatever they are saying. When you will hear from here, then it is not easy for you to speak. So these activities should be done in the class with the children and for the expression. Remind students to speak loudly and articulate clearly, read loud or speak loud. These two activities are like this in which the child has a lot of confidence. I am murmuring in such a voice and it shows low confidence. When you are speaking loudly, then you will get more confidence and you will speak with confidence whenever you will speak. So this is another activity teacher can ask, have students summarize the herd information. Whatever you had given the lecture, then you should appoint one student that he or she would be the judge of the day and he or she will summarize the whole lecture, whatever we have learned. And whenever the judge will summarize the lesson, you should appreciate, you should even give the one candy as a token and the child will be very happy and will be stimulated and very motivated. So by this way, a teacher can create the context for language learning, model and guide sentence construction. You should make a sentence right on the board and then ask any student to make another sentence and write on the board. So writing on the board is also very good activity that in this way children will see their mistakes and they know how to write the sentence and what is the structure of the sentence. So this is very important activity for children. Compile a class booklet of students' phrases. So whatever the student have shared their concepts, you can say dog. The title is dog.  So these are questions that you can ask from your students. And one by one students will share their information you should write on the board and then you ask your students that please write, this is now the essay on dog and you can write an essay on cat. So from getting information from your students, then you can write an essay on the board and students will remember these information. They will be happy because they are sharing their information and they are sharing in the language that you have expectations from your students to learn. Then by this way students will be wonderfully okay to express their thoughts, to express their expressions.


Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. Quick video today showing you Korean fried chicken using kosher ingredients. So we got this tempura powder that is kosher parve here in Jerusalem in the Mizrahmah Arab Asian grocery store. Okay, so first thing is to turn on your deep fat fryer slash fry later as the Americans call it. Now you want to add salt and pepper to your chicken.  You can use the scissors if you want to make the process a bit quicker. And then just make sure to coat that chicken really, really well. I'm not going to give the quantities here, but the batter is a one-to-one mix between the tempura batter and water. And we're just pouring our chicken into that. We're using by the way, a quarter gastronome pan. That's the metal pan in the video here. So just make sure to coat the chicken pieces really well. And then you want to put those into dry powder. So firstly, immersing the chicken in the wet powder and then putting that into the dry powder in the pan here. And again, just making sure to coat everything really well. Okay, so this is a close up of the coating process going on here.  Obviously, if you're not using a deep fat fryer, put those into your hot oil. It's warmed up and now we're just immersing the chicken into the deep fat fryer. And it's going in. Just be careful, obviously, when you're using hot oil, it's going to start bubbling. And sometimes just pull it out for a second just to make sure everything is working correctly and the chicken's frying. If you want to move, make sure there is good separation between the pieces of chicken using a metal implement like this just to move stuff around. Then we put the lid onto the fry later just to make sure that everything was going correctly. This is just the initial test batch we pulled out using the implement here. And you can see that the chicken is well cooked. You don't want to overcook it, taking out a few pieces here using this metal object. Now you can see more chicken being moved around here and drain off the excess fat. That's important. So you can see the move that was done here.  So if you have an extractor fan run that, okay, here's the sauce. So firstly, our gochugang paste. You get this from a Korean slash Asian food store. This is a kosher ingredient too. This recipe also called for ketchup. So you can see the chicken cooking there as the sauce comes together. And now we're going to be adding some soy sauce and vinegar. So here goes the soy sauce coming into the pan. And the final one is going to be vinegar and there's also going to be sugar. Here comes the sugar. And now moving those ingredients together, you can see the rest of the vinegar going in there. And now it's just a case of putting in the ground ginger, the ground up ginger and then mixing those into a homogenous paste and letting those cook. And we're going to have a couple of angles here of the actual, this is the overhead camera here. And you can see the paste is homogenous and it's being cooked and the chicken's looking great. Here's the sauce coming along nicely, getting that lovely thick red cover. And it's lovely and spicy. Make sure to add plenty of that gochugang paste if you're a bit of a fiend for the spice. So here it goes and it's coming together and then we want to put the chicken in and make sure to coat the chicken really, really well. And it sometimes helps to just tilt the pan a little bit just to get the, make sure, here we go. Here's the action replay from the overhead cam. You can see that chicken coating going really, really well there. And here's the tilt maneuver, getting all that sauce onto the chicken. And now it's time to put this into the bowl and getting ready to plate up. So I was getting the plates ready. This, this excitement was going on, putting that lovely, delicious Korean fried chicken, spicy American Korean hybrid and making sure to get all the sauce out of the saucepan and just getting it all over that sauce is really, really good. And time to plate up Bon Appetit. Enjoy Bottega Vone. Enjoy your Korean fried chicken. Thanks for watching the video.


There would be parties, tons of friends, and it'd be amazing. Once I got to campus, however, things seemed to go differently. My dorm was actually a suite shared with six other people and a hallway with 50. This was a big change from having a bedroom to myself. Between lectures, group projects, date nights, and even the dining commons, my people quota was constantly filled. I was never, never alone. Everything and everywhere was constant noise and I didn't get any solitude. I learned quickly that having time to myself was a privilege I took for granted.  With school clubs and making friends, and doing all the social activities I thought I had to do to fit in, I became tired.  I was able to pick up my grades near the end, but only at the cost of increasing anxiety, stress, and fatigue. I knew I was losing myself. Being an ambervert meant I needed a balance of social time and me time. So I took a calendar out and scheduled some me time to regain that balance. Child Development Researcher and author Kenneth H. Rubin acknowledges that solitude is an important tool to bring balance into one's life. It needs to be in healthy doses, however. It works when one has a social group and can regulate their own emotions. With this, solitude can be a time to achieve creativity and peace. So I set out to find a place where I could be alone. Study spots, secret nooks and crannies. While I did get comfortable doing things alone, I ended up just feeling alone in the crowd. I needed true solitude. I needed to be completely alone. In person and through my phone. I needed to be alone. According to psychologists and Professor Peter Sudfield, having time alone is valuable for those with anxiety as it protects from overstimulation. In this world of constant access to social media, we have shortcuts in communication. Because of these ready-made interactions online, we're losing our chance to be truly alone. I finally put the phone away, free to think for myself, free from judgments and opinions which weren't mine. I was finally becoming grounded. No more overstimulation. And no more people who would make my anxiety worse in trying to calm me down. Constantly asking if my anxiety has stopped being a thing. The constant pressure of being watched made my anxiety worse. But telling them that would only make them more persistent in trying to make me feel okay. But when I was completely alone, there was no pressure. I cried, panicked, screamed if I had to. I didn't need other people's stories and opinions. In that moment, I could just be me and express the way I needed to. By finding that I could finally find peace of mind.
