Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope today. I was inspired to have this channeling session. I have no idea what it's going to be like or what we have to expect from this particular afterlife guest. We're going to be talking to Regis. Do you remember Regis Philbin from Live with Regis and Kathy Lee and many many many many other things? No matter how you know Reg, hopefully it will help to inspire your spirit today with his awesome and electric energy and attitude and his humor. So we're going to bring him in and now let me tell you. So okay so okay I can feel him right now. Oh gosh he has the sweetest smile. Oh wow I feel it. My eyes are leaking. He has the sweetest smile around face like rosy cheeks. He would be you would be a great Santa. You would be a great Santa and he says you think so? You think so? Oh he says and then he kind of shakes his belly. He says well at times yes. Yes at times yes. Put a good meal in me. He says it's kind of shaking his belly. So I decided that I wanted to channel with you Regis because I was watching a Hallmark movie of all things you guys the other night and it is the season for Hallmark Christmas movies anywhere whatever however you watch them and such and so I and I saw Kathy Lee. Kathy Lee was on one of them like she was one of the guests and I just had to laugh and I thought you know who would be great to channel.  I don't really know much about you Regis as a person like I from what I understand you were well liked because you were someone who you get what you get whether the camera's on or the camera's off that you were just yourself and lucky for you you're able to make a career at being yourself and so that's what I get like I don't know I remember from the TV show live with Regis and Kathy Lee I remember your wife's name was Joy I remember that because I think what a beautiful name he said she had to be don't you think she really had to be quite a saint he says to put up with me for as long as she did he says and yes I can feel that a lot of warmth coming from her from Joy's energy I so I don't really know much about you like did you have kids all that I don't know any of that stuff I just know that you're a big personality and it felt like a good idea to talk to you now during this time so I would like to know first of all given your afterlife spirit perspective what do you think about this year this 2020 that we've been in as we're recording this particular session in December of 2020 so so what do you have what insights do you have he says he says it's sort of like a mashup like a scorsese movie or he says you don't really know what's going to happen next he says you're on the edge of your seat and then he says just when you think you've figured it out something comes out of left field and you're totally confused have no idea what's going on what movie are we seeing again are we seeing again lots of energy Regis lots of energy would you that's what you want isn't it do you want that because I can bring it I can bring the energy do you want the uplifting energy that's what you want isn't that what you need after this year everything's just been so chaotic and crazy it's like the throwing things in the kitchen and trying to find something and just everything's all over the floor and just a big mess he says you ever see a toddler trying to find a toy have you ever seen it says watching the grandkids digging through the toy chest trying to find one little tiny part for one toy with all these pieces and they're just ripping through the the toy chest and trying to find everything's a mess and pretty soon they don't even remember what they're looking for can't find it because the original part is somewhere else and it's just it's just a big big mess that's pretty much sums up your your year I'm glad I left when I did glad I left when I did don't have to be part of this but but I I feel like you know you know I feel like there is a he's getting a little serious now a tremendous opportunity he feels very teacherly now you guys so we have the big personality of Regis which you may connect to and feel right maybe you felt that energy now he's kind of moving into the teacher a little more serious vibe yeah teacher like mentor like there's a lot during times like this that you can really learn from if you if you can give yourself that opportunity and I know that's not easy he's talking about like growing up poor and not having money and having to struggle and compete for every little bit part role thing that you can possibly get just to make ends meet to pay the bills to pay the rent and to get along so he says I I don't want to sound grandiose like this is the incredible time in our history to to evolve this humanity I I I know that it's a real hardship for many people and he's showing like New York and how he's saying Giuliani boy he really messed things up didn't he he's in there digging into all this stuff okay let's not get political I'll try he says I'll try I'll try you know I try I try to walk that line you got to walk that line he says as a personality TV personality as a host you have to talk to people you don't want to talk to don't talk to how do you feel about Cuomo let me say that which one you know in my time it was it was the dad the father and now it's the sons and and he'd be very proud of his boys very proud of his boys I mean I can I can be sure I can be assured you can be assured of that yes yes very proud of his boys you know Chris and I can't think of the other one I can't think of Andrew is that right Andrew and Chris the mayor and I don't even I can't even my brain is all over the place there's many governor journalism journalist mayor there's a mayor who's the mayor let's let the mayor not the current mayor the current mayor no not the current mayor oh he's trying to show me he got the keys to the city or something did somebody give him the keys to the city like when he retired somebody showed me this key to the city I got the key to the city like I'm the mayor of the city you know like that like kind of a thing interesting okay he says there's a lot of us old guys that are on this side you know and then he shows me like a empire state building almost like a reflection of New York City and the skyline and all the entertainment industry and the business tycoons and things in New York and then like this image almost like a reflective energy kind of over the water that shows this level of of the same kind of like almost like the outline of the structure of the city and the empire state building and then the energies of all of these kind of guardians that are watching out for people and okay so there's been a lot of scandals and things let's talk about that so the good old boys network that's an issue that's a problem that's a problem he said that's a problem yeah he says the trouble is he says you you got to understand you don't recognize that things are as messed up as they are until you get out of that when you're in it you can't see the problems as much especially if you're benefiting from the way things are set up you don't see you you just it's not that you're a bad guy you don't want to be a bad guy and part of a problem and and perpetuating a problem and stopping other people from getting in it's not so much like that it's it's more of a you don't really know you get you get blinders and when something comes across that multiple people start to pick up a like a story or a you know like what you would consider maybe a gossip but that people kind of know is going on and then people start to actually talk about it there's kind of a different level he says of understanding so you kind of know about it like there's rumors and things and then when people actually talk about it in like current time not what's happened in the past but they talk about it like it's now and here then you know something's up something's coming it's time for change change is coming because if you loud yourself to really believe that these were truths whatever it was whatever scandal whatever whatever major change whether it be systematic structures whatever it is whether it's something really scandalous and or something incredibly illegal and hurtful and and just really tears at society and the like the abuse of power he says like abuse of power those those types of things is what i'm talking about you know the white men the the what you refer to as privileged and he says once you start to know people are talking about whatever topic issue scandal thing it is if you're talking about it you hear people talking about having conversation in real time like it's present not past even though you've heard rumors and it's been passed and it's kind of this known thing maybe but you think it's kind of story like embellished and not real it's more hollywood in new york kind of a thing but once you kind of start to know that the tense of the conversation is is changing to the present and it's actually being spoken about and talked about then you know it's changing then you know something's up something's coming something is changing there's a major upheaval there's a turning over and that's the the with the wine steins he says with the wine steins and with the all the the me too movement and all in those types of atrocities being atrocities in the right word those types of systematic systemic he says systemic he's i don't understand he's like showing me like um like that the problem the power and the control is built into the system so the structure itself is damaged as it's being created and the power in the hands of a few and there becomes a lot of fear and control and manipulation and the weak versus the strong and the have versus the have not he says it's the same argument society's been having civilizations been having for years but when it is brought to light in this way and there are so many people that come out and share their their real personal stories about it and they should they should they should they're the ones that are courageous they're the ones that are brave they're the ones that are the change makers and and should be recognized you know for that and there are so many there's so many stories there's so many stories and this is serious this is serious business this is serious i know this is serious and i want to to share this or have part of this conversation with you because he's saying this, you guys. He's sharing this because it's time for change. It's the time. All us old guys are out. We're out or on our way out. And it's time for the women and the vulnerable to be heard and to lead and to share their stories. And to create whatever's new and next, whether it be in entertainment, which, let's be clear, a story when it's told no matter if it's on the stage or on television or in the lyrics of a song, it is a reflection of someone's life. In some way, they were inspired or driven to write about this, to share their own part of a story whether they change the ending so that it would be a hero's triumph or whether it be very real raw truth or even elements of multiple stories rolled into one to bring through a hard-hitting theme that opens the floodgates, just bust open your heart and you feel in ways you've not felt for years. That's the kind of value that the entertainment industry, that production and actors and actresses and musicians and dancers and all of these artists behind the stage in production, in makeup, in wardrobe, and all of these set design, all of these incredible people so talented and come together to make something that pierces into the heart. And in that moment, there is a sense of relief. You don't have to think about your life. You can let go of your pain in a small way by that experience and you can celebrate for no reason. Right now, don't you think that musicals will be fantastic in this 2020 year that you're in this mess of a mess? Don't you think that incredible opportunities for books, for just devouring books that eventually will turn into movies will be television shows and inspiring scripts for future generations to write about and to help save people from the loneliness that they feel because they're reading or because they're watching something, a story or what if this is the start of the birth of musicals again? Something like that, something like that, like a variety show, not talking game show, no offense to any of the Bob Barker's Jim Carrey, not Jim Carrey, Carrey, Drew Carrey, he said Carrey, not of no offense to any of those admirable work, admirable work, but I'm talking musicals, like the kind we had after the war, you know, that really inspired people and how much people reminisce about the good old days, but now it's not about the good old days in the old ways where things were covered up, it's about the hope, you know, the hope for the future, that's what's needed right now, the hope for the future that comes through creative endeavors like music and writing and fashion design and costuming and scripts, manuscripts, and there are so many places and ways that people can share and technology is one of those things that has been, it's mind blowing, mind blowing, you know, he's showing, he's showing these 3D goggle things like this virtual reality thing and he's like, how, what is this even, what is this? He says, this could have so many medical uses, it probably does, medical uses, not just for games, video games or some entertainment experience, but for like medical uses, someone invented that, someone's imagination had this idea and it may have come from a problem and don't you think 2020 has been filled with problems? And as you can see within this one year's time, you created some incredible, incredible momentous changes and shifts in healthcare and medicine and scientific research and delivery systems, all of you are at home and you know, in New York, we get the whole delivery thing, we understand that, we were ahead of you on that, we were way ahead of you, way ahead of you on that.  He says, you know, not many people know this about me but I actually battled with, he's showing me, showing me a lung thing, like almost like a, like a COPD where it's challenging in the lungs, like I don't know if it's asthma or some kind of a pneumonia kind of a thing here but he's also showing me depression, like there was a swing with depression and I don't know if it's, okay, so, okay, let me just, I'm feeling a lot of stuff, okay, just a second, let me call my energy down, it's Bridget for a sec, let me take a breath or you just, rage, rage, take a breath, I don't know if you battled depression or alcoholism, now the reason why I say depression or alcoholism is because I see the swings and usually you guys, when I see the swings in the energy, it could be, when I see that in a field, it look like literally goes back and forth, it could be, the mood swings could be brought on by low times and the need to try to help the energy either match or balance what you're already feeling inside which is why alcohol is a depressant and if people are feeling depressed or down or isolated, they might choose alcohol, it might give a little bit of a woohoo if it's a little bit sugary, it'll give a little bit of a boost and then it will kind of simmer down and mix into the low energy already, so it blends with what's already there so it doesn't create too much turbulence, it just matches that energy and if, so if someone is dealing, battling depression, a lot of times I'll see their energy is like low and then swing and it'll kind of go up so sometimes they'll crawl back up and they'll work back up into a higher functioning level of depression and they go back down and they go back up and then they go back down, not bipolar, that's way more, like I literally see it like a wee wee, I don't see that with the Reges but I do see something about depression and or alcoholism, like a battle with alcoholism and I don't know if alcoholism was used to treat the depression or if alcoholism, being an alcoholic piece, lowered the energy of the anxiety because it almost feels like a stage fright kind of a thing and lowering the energy of anxiety, such a big personality, it would make sense to need to quiet down and to use something like alcohol or that somebody famous like Reges would struggle with some kind of a form of depression and with that then there's this expectation to perform and so it would make sense that I would see that in his field, not near the end of his life but earlier on, like at least 10 or 12, 15 years before that I could see a little bit of struggles and it looks like an on again, off again scenario and I also see some struggles with him and his wife Joy so I don't know if they were married divorced or separated or if there was any kind of like with any relationship I'm sure there's turbulence and I don't wanna get all personal or anything but I can kinda see some things there, thank you for allowing me this space. I wanted to talk about some of the ways that I know you like, I think didn't you do one of the ball drops in New York City? Didn't you do one of the ball drops? Didn't you, weren't you the Dick Clark when he was having some of his health struggles after his stroke and things? I think he had a stroke you guys, I think that's what it was or his Parkinson's or whatever it was, I think it's a stroke actually but we should talk to him, oh that would be fun but didn't you do like one of the rock and eaves kind of a thing? He says yes, I hosted and he's showing me three times being involved in it like hosting three times. He says yes, yes, yes and that's a lot of pressure. He says it sounds like fun, it's a lot of pressure. He says it's a lot of pressure. That's a lot of pressure. It's not so much fun but I did it for my friend Dick, did it for my friend.  You had a lot of friends, a lot of friends who would I be interested to know that you're friends with that I might be surprised by. Okay, I can see his face but I don't know, I should know who he is because he's a good looking. The guy that goes, all right, all right, all right. That guy, who is that? I don't have a computer or anything I can look it up on, who is that? I can see him, who is that guy? He was the lawyer in the movie I think, Mississippi Burning, that's how I know him, that's how I knew of him. Good looking guy, a little bit crazy, kind of wavy hair. I can't, I know you're yelling. I can't, you guys, I can't be psychic about everything, okay? Psychic doesn't mean you know everything. News flash, news flash. If you go to a psychic and they say they know everything, they're lying. Okay, they're lying like a rug. All right, I can't think of his name. What is his name? He's driving nuts and he's good looking too but he was like in a car commercial recently and he's like from the south and oh my God, I love him too. I cannot think of his name. Put it in the comments below by the time I post this I'm sure I'll know who it is, it's gonna drive me nuts. Him, he says, okay, he's showing me. There's older people but I mean, I'm curious about the people that I'd be surprised about. What did you think about, have you met, I assume you've met, like all of a sudden Tom Cruise comes up, I don't know why he comes up but he comes up. Interesting fella, he says, interesting fella, mm-hmm. Not too much to say about that. What about like, what about interesting people that are really different like rappers and things like 50 cent and or like Beyonce or somebody, you know, somebody, people that are really different like that I can't imagine you hanging out with. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're like, he's showing me like being at the same parties and the same galas and the same events and things like that but a lot of respect, a lot of respect for like Jay-Z and Beyonce and 50 cent. He's saying, he, is that Sean? He did it, Sean, is this his name Sean? I think his name is Sean, because he's saying Sean. Smart guy, very smart guy, very, very smart guy. He says, very smart guy. What do you think of like Elon Musk? Like have you met him? Not feeling like he met him? Not directly, not like socially like that, not like that, interesting guy, interesting guy. He says, Neil, like Neil Armstrong, much more my speed, John Glenn, much more my speed. He says, much more my speed. He's referring to the space stuff, much more my speed. He says, much more my speed.  Anybody else that would be interesting? Joan Rivers, did you, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't even imagine the two of them in a room. Can you imagine Joan Rivers and Regis, Philbin in a room together? It would just be back and forth and back and forth.  He says it was so sad when she died, it was so, he said tragic, tragic, that did not have to happen. He says that did not have to happen. I so much love to his, to her daughter, Melissa and her family, I just, I just, he says it just did not have to happen, I was tragic, I was really tragic. Interesting, he's showing me like when the challenger exploded, like the space, I don't know if he has a thing about space, but he's showing me another, he's making another reference to space. You guys, did Regis, was he a buff with like the moon and outer space or astrology? Astronomy? Okay, Bridget, that was funny, right? Okay, he's showing me the challenger explosion, which I was in, I think sixth grade when that happened. I remember it at school, it was early in the morning and central time it was early, had to have been like eight or nine, it was early and he's showing me, he's feeling this impact, like being part of history, he says being part of historical moments, which also so was 9-11, a historical moment and so you were in New York at that time, he says, he's showing me being disjointed. So, okay, just a minute. So 9-11, can we talk about that a little bit? He says, oh, very Catholic, was Regis really Catholic and Irish, was he Irish Catholic? Cause it feels very, very Catholic, like lots of prayers, lots of prayers, lots of church, lots of just outpouring. That was on September 11th, 2001. In and out, he says disjointed, so I don't know if he was not where he was supposed to be that day, I don't know if he was in New York or outside of New York or had trouble getting back to New York, he looks like he can't be where he wants or needs to be, wants or needs to be. It took him some time to get to where he needed to be, that's interesting. We lost a lot of good people that day. He says, we lost a lot of good people that day. And do you know, many more, many more as John Stuart has been trying to work so hard, so diligently to help protect many of the workers that worked in the rubble of the mess, the aftermath of 9-11, of the towers and lost their lives eventually over time because of it and are still struggling with cancers and toxins and horrible illnesses that they can't get assistance for, they can't work for, their families have suffered and they are paying the price. They're paying the price. He's also showing me George Bush like talking to George Bush, the president, not the older one, the younger one. George Javier, he's showing me the younger one and he's talking about just wanting to help, like seeing the pain in his eyes. He says seeing the pain in his eyes, like he just like being helpless, feeling helpless and then being angry, being really angry but not having anything, not having a healthy way to channel that anger.  So 9-11 happened in September and that following February of 2002 I visited New York and it was like, I had never been there before and it was the first time I'd ever been there, only time I've ever been there, I think. And subways were, a lot of the subway lines were down in lower Manhattan and you had to walk a long, long way and there was no museum or anything like that and the towers were, the World Trade Center was just a big hole in the ground at that point and buildings around it still had tarps over them and missing windows and it was just, it looked like a construction site, it's what it looked like to me when I went there to visit. There was an observation platform which was really just a bunch of plywood makeshift to go up to this level to look over this big gaping hole in the ground and then there were all these posters and that were weathered by the New York winter, by the snow and the rain and all that and worn, faded by the sun and that were still about people who were missing and it was so sad, it was just so incredibly, it was like being at a, not a battleground but like a grave, like just a huge grave site and to think about that experience and with where we're at now here in 2020, years later and something totally different but a war of sorts to our health and a crisis and so many more people lost family and friends and the people on the front lines who have died because of their careers, they are like the military and the army, that's why they call them front line workers and like the firefighters and the police officers who've died and the construction workers who've died since from cancer from 9-11, I can't help but feel like we are creating our own next level of trauma, collective trauma and long-term depression, alcoholism, anxiety by our, like how are we encouraging other people, younger generations to go to school to become a front line worker when this is how we treat the front line workers. They have to sacrifice, sabotage their own health, their own livelihoods, their families, they have to rip their families apart by being away from their children and their parents and their spouses for months on end so that they can keep them protected and then they might end up dying anyway, oh well, oh well you're just another soldier for the cause, oh well and that part of this whole experience makes me, okay, so I wouldn't have been a healthcare worker anyway cause like the whole blood thing you guys kind of miss you with that. Some people can't handle that, that's me, I'm not gonna be, I would have never been a nurse or a doctor, I would have never been that and now like that was the industry, like when I worked in recruiting, the nursing, nursing, you could never get enough nurses, never, never, never, never, never and yet now how do we expect like the way society is just expecting them to sacrifice their lives and their families, I would just quit my job and be like, okay, you know what, it's more important for me to take care of my family and to not have a job as a nurse or a doctor to do that, they have to make really tough decisions and most people are flippant about it and don't really seem to care too much about that. That's hard for me personally and as a point in our timeline, I can't help but have a very strong what are we creating, question mark here, what are we creating, what kind of expectations do we have of people in different types of jobs, people that are empathic, that are so feeling and loving and caring toward other people that their sacrifice, their families, their lives, everything pay the ultimate price to be able to do what they feel they need to do for humanity, why are we just abusing that? Why are we using that, why are we misusing it? That's another power trip thing, that's another take an advantage of people thing, that's not helping humanity, that's crushing it, that's crushing, that's crushing our values, it's kindness and compassionate beings, we need to have a web of support for people who are in these kinds of roles that are providing essential services and we're not and what makes anybody think that we're gonna do anything different based upon how we treated the people in 9-11 and that wasn't even highly politicized as much as like this year has been, really think about that and then ask yourself what can I do, like what part of this is mine? What part of this is mine? Says apparently he says that needed to be said, that needed to be said. Says what will define your generation? What will define your generation? He says for many we thought it was 9-11, turns out that's not the case, now what? That's pretty serious, that's pretty big stuff.  Everyone has a part to play. What will your starring role be? What will it be? That's pretty profound, Regis. And I think that's exactly where we need to be right now. That's the kind of year we've had. That's the kind of year we've had, yes. He says you know I have a great deal of care for the firefighters, for the police officers, for the nurses, for the doctors, for the, they do so much, he says they care so much and we need to start caring for them. Not just them as individuals but them as families give them the support they need for their families. We can't abandon people. It's just, he's like it's not right, it's not right. Wow, that's deep, you guys. I did not expect that in my channeling session here with Regis and this is gonna be something that I'm grateful, thank you to you for sharing this, Mr. Regis Philbin, from the afterlife, especially as it's timely, your information, your insight is timely here in December of 2020. As you're watching this video and you can make some connections or highlight, kind of hit on some of the things that Regis and I talked about where you can fill in some historical facts or factual data, go ahead and do that because there's a lot of people that watch above life channel that don't really get how bridge it me, how I do channeling, how I have really casual conversations with the afterlife and so they might kind of expect psychics to do different things. We kind of break the mold here, don't we, you guys? So go ahead and put in the comments below if there's factual pieces that you know about Regis where he kind of touched on or we kind of danced around, like specifically the moon thing, I'm curious about the astronomy thing, also the information about his personal personality stuff as far as like either alcoholism or depression or any kind of a dance he may have done with that. Also, is he Catholic? Was he Catholic and what's the Irish Catholic kind of tie? Also, what do you know about him in 9-11 and where he was on 9-11? Because I feel like he's just jointed, he's not where he needs to be and he had to get to where he needed to be and it was this whole kind of thing and he didn't, he felt very disjointed about it. Also, who is the... Matthew McConaughey, hi-five. Matthew McConaughey. Hey, hey, hey, Matthew McConaughey, hi, Matthew McConaughey. All right, all right, all right, Matthew McConaughey. Yes, that's who I was thinking of. That's what he says. I would be surprised that he kind of hit it off with that person. Somebody he met that he kind of hit it off with. So interesting. Okay, so yes, yes, yes, yes. Being psychic doesn't mean you know everything. Thank goodness because that would be kind of boring to just know everything. That wouldn't be very creative or expressive or it might be kind of boring. All right, so thank you so much for being here for watching Above Life Channel. It's always my pleasure to channel for you and I'm only gonna channel when I can feel it and I'm inspired and I have that just that, oh, I need to share this with you. Oh, let's channel. Let's have a conversation with this person really authentically. So thank you so much for being here. I appreciate you. Make sure you subscribe to Above Life Channel so you never miss a new channeling video. Also do not miss the Sunday Morning Coffee series. There's a playlist here to help inspire your spirit weekly with the podcast, Sunday Morning Coffee with Bridget. Also check out my other YouTube channel where I do more casual, intuitive life vlogs in addition to some instructional videos about intuition and such on Ferry Grasshopper. Oh yeah, very Disney-like, Ferry Grasshopper. Ferry Grasshopper actually means magic student helping to encourage you to be inspired, not just as a spirit, but as a person. So thanks so much for being here. Thank you very much, Bridget, this is great. This was just great, thank you. Yeah, we should, yeah, we're gonna have to talk to Dick Clark at some point. Maybe New Year's Eve, that would be fun. Thanks for being here. Have a great day.

Item number two, Loretta, do you want to take it? Hi, hi. Good morning. Again, this is a, this is a matter that I'm bringing to your attention at the request of Boston Harbor, specifically on core has requested that it's gaming beverage license be amended so that three of the restaurants located on the casino's premises be allowed to sell alcoholic beverages with takeout food orders. And this request would be consistent with COVID related emergency legislation passed by the legislature on April 3rd and July 20th of this year, allowing restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages with food takeout orders subject to certain conditions. And those conditions are that the buyer be over 21 or over that the product be in a sealed container and sealed container is a defined term in the legislation and I should point out that our gaming agents team is right now in the process of working with on core food and beverage to examine the containers. Another condition that's part of the legislation is that the sale be part of a food transaction. There are specified limits to the amount of alcohol that can be applied in the legislation and the sales are limited to the hours of operation of the restaurant, which right now under the governor's order and the commission's COVID requirements that track the governor's order is until 9.30 PM. A legal reading of the emergency legislation may indicate that no specific action by the commission is required, but it is required to be approved by the commission's broad regulatory oversight and particularly its responsibility regarding COVID protocols. I am bringing on course request to you for a vote. And again in summary, the request is that the alcohol beverage license, which the commission issued to on core be amended. We'll allow rare steakhouse red eight. And we'll also allow the commission to approve the recommendation of the recommendation of the commission's recommendation of the recommendation of the establishment to allow for the sale of alcoholic beverages with takeout food orders. Subject to the specific conditions set forth in section 13 of chapter 53 of the acts of 2020. And Senate bill 2812. Which amended section 53 of the acts of 2020. So that those are my prepared. Questions for the commission. Ms. Crom is here if there are specific questions for, for me or her or Mr. Band, who's well versed in this request, we'll try to answer them. And in our packet, we did have the, um, the PowerPoint that, um, on Corbos and Harbor provided. And you have the actual application for the request for the amendment. And I think that's a good point, uh, which gives a description of the three restaurant premises and locations and so forth. Um, it does seem to be, um, obviously consistent with the earlier executive actions from the governor's office. The question I have in terms of. Us voting to approve it, which I do think is appropriate for us to look at under these circumstances is. So, um, I would like to make a point of my concerns with crowding or queuing up or anything like that, with take out or anticipating that this would in any way cause a problem. Um, just adding this to the services that they can provide. Particularly as they access at the 9 30 time. Yeah. Whether there's any discussions, issues, anything like that that you want to bring to our attention. And I will, uh, discussions earlier, Jackie did indicate that the practice of patrons has been with the earlier closing time to call in an advance of closing for takeout orders. So that process has been happening and as Bruce and I have been reporting, you know, regularly there have not been any significant issues.  But Jackie or Bruce, I am trying you to address it. So frankly, we wish we actually did have more people picking up to go orders. We're hoping that this will will help facilitate that. But we do have marked areas where people stand that are six feet apart leading in and out of every restaurant. So that's something we would continue to monitor. We have not had any issue with that going in the past. Well we hope that it does that if this votes positive that it does drive some business. I know that I've heard that restaurants that have this available to them, you know, in Back Bay for instance, you know, are pleased to be able to have this extra bonus during the Thanksgiving time. So I had a question, but it's really just logistics. If we vote for this, does this require a change in the certificate because I would want to get that done immediately so that Encore could enjoy this benefit for the Thanksgiving break? It would, Kathy. And I have been in touch with Lisa Brookner in the licensing division and we're prepared to make the adjustment right away. Yeah, okay. Questions for Jackie and Loretta, Todd, Bruce, our experts? I have one mostly out of curiosity. I think first of all I mean agreement with the notion that this is a very appropriate request and one that is consistent with what everybody is doing around the state as per the legislature. But out of curiosity, what do you anticipate Jackie perhaps to be, you know, the orders that can complement a dinner, certain wines that are sealed or perhaps mixed drinks that then have to be evaluated how to be put in a sealed container. Just help us understand what you anticipate. Sure. So the primary impetus for the request was we'd like to include sort of wine dinners and so we come up with a specific, you know, maybe a three-course meal and rare and then pair it with maybe two different wines because I think that that's consistent with the legislation. So it's mostly to do wine dinners or add sake to an order as appropriate and mystique. Right. And those would be again out of curiosity, you know, mostly bottles that would then be taken completely sealed and on court at people's homes. Absolutely. It's good to know. That is good to know. Can we just step in? Do you have questions? I had some questions earlier with Director Lilios and just kind of talk through what the containers themselves look like. And I'm all set and appreciate the work of our team on site looking at those before before getting the green light. Patricia Cameron, I do not have questions. I too wondered who who ordered takeout from the casino, but it sounds like guests that are leaving the casino will order before they leave and take the food and beverage with them. So I have no issues with this. This request. This is an opportunity to for patrons to may not be going into the gaming establishment right now or new comers to encore to maybe do a different Thanksgiving and and go to rare and have a different experience. So I'm delighted with the timing that we are able to accommodate the timing. And then I and I hope that it's an opportunity to perhaps just enjoy something different for those who might be looking for that tomorrow. Commissioner Brian, any further questions? No, no, other than I guess two comments to make one would be my understanding of the governor's orders are that, well, that you can't sell full bottles of wine. This would allow those establishments to do mixed drinks as well. Jackie, I know you said that's not what you envisioned, but if somebody did want to put one in an order, am I correct that that's allowable under this? It is allowable. My understanding is it is allowable on our two restaurants that we have proposed. We don't have any intention of doing mixed drinks. We're going to stick with bottles of wine or bottles of beer. That's also permissible. But you know, we would like to reserve that for our mystique if it because they do have specialty cocktails provided, of course, that they have the appropriate containers. I'm sorry to say that I know I'm not aware of instances where there have been issues with establishments that have followed us and had them properly sealed. So I don't see an issue that requests myself. And you mean in terms of this has been available to to restaurants since July and we don't have any evidence, Loretta, correct that there's been any widespread abuse of this takeout option? That's right. In fact, the the beer and wine portion has been available earlier since April. The cocktails came online with the later emergency measure in July. And by all the information I have, the rollout has been smooth. It's been a successful piece that restaurants have been able to rely on. And if we took action today, it would cover the the option of the mixed drinks for the future, correct? Or would we want to consider that? Or is it more narrow today? The way it's been presented today is all the all the pieces today have been presented.  Any further questions? Thank you. Then I understand that that you're recommending that we do take formal action commissioners. If you would like to do so, we could entertain a motion and have just for the discussion as as warranted. Certainly, Madam Chair, I'll make a motion that the Commission amend Encore Boston Harbor's gaming beverage license consistent with Section 13 of Chapter 53 of the Acts of 2020 and Senate Bill 2812 amending Section 53 of the Acts of 2020. I second that. Any further questions for our team here? Okay. I'll take a vote. Commissioner Cameron. I. Commissioner O'Brien. I. Commissioner Zunica. I. Commissioner Stevens. I. And I vote yes. My only follow-up would be Karen and if we could have this be part of our update at the December 3rd meeting. That's a good idea. Thank you. And we do wish you Jackie and your team at Encore the very best over the next few days. And happy that you're able to accommodate this request today. No, thank you so much. We really appreciate you. Appreciate you accommodating this request prior to Thanksgiving to allow us to enhance our offerings. And happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the Gaming Commission. I can see lots of people here. Yeah. Yeah. How many do we have from our team? And we have actually 59 participants right now. So that could be members of the external world as well. But we do have a lot of our team members right here. So thank you for the good wishes and and pass them on. We have my colleagues to everyone over at Encore. Okay. Well, thank you. Commissioners, do you have any further updates that you'd like to provide or anything that you'd like to say at this moment? We did have our good wishes at the last meeting. How's that? Well, it's the same with wishes to everybody who was not able to join the last meeting. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody and have a safe holiday season. Yes. Thank you. Commissioner Stephens. Safe and happy and healthy and great Thanksgiving for everybody out there. Commissioner O'Brien. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Enjoy the weekend. Commissioner Cameron. Ditto. Ditto. And let's treasure, as I said in the last meeting, the meaning of Thanksgiving this year because it seems pretty relevant. Okay, everyone be safe. Thank you so much. We'll be doing a motion to adjourn. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner O'Brien. Hi. And Commissioner Cameron. Hi. Commissioner Zuniga. Hi. And Commissioner Stephens. Hi. I vote yes. And thank you, everyone. Thank you to the team. We appreciate your attendance. Thank you. Thanks, everyone. Thank you. Hi. Thank you, Jackie. Bye-bye.


Since the 1950s, thousands of South Asian leaders have seized the opportunity to further their knowledge at Australian universities through prestigious Australia Awards scholarships. Their new knowledge and skills are improving countless lives in their home countries. I think Maldives is a country where we have a very beautiful environment and it's really a very fragile environment. So if we don't care for our environment, we will not be safe here and our economic pillars like the tourism or the fisheries both depend on the quality of the environment. As a result of the people using the same resource at the same time, there are conflicts and the resource depletion also. We have started seeing a decrease in the number and the abundance of our manta rays and whale sharks and this decrease is negatively impacting the economy and the livelihood of the people. Bar atoll in the Maldives is home to 11,000 people. Below the waterline, it is also home to a wealth of marine life including whale sharks and manta rays. Surrounding Tiny Hunnifer Island is a globally significant manta ray breeding ground attracting tourists and vital income for the entire atoll. To manage this valuable resource sustainably, the government has declared Bar atoll as the Maldives first biosphere reserve. The atoll's honeypot, Hunnifer Island, has also been declared the country's first protected marine park. Visitor numbers are now limited and those who enter pay a fee. As head of the Environmental Protection Agency, it's Naeem's job to help make the Maldives first biosphere and marine park work. He says his Australia Awards scholarship, which allowed him to do a Masters at the University of Queensland in Environmental Management, positioned him to lead the EPA as it faces the many challenges this entails. We have so many challenges. One is the lack of trained people in protecting and managing these areas. Plus we are now training staff, local staff in the bar atoll. There is also a new achievement. We are attending a scene right now. Okay. We are catching sea cucumbers. I told them this is a protected area and I asked them to leave immediately. Among those being trained is Ranger Ahamed Faresh. He grew up in the area and with national unemployment hovering around 28%, he is pleased to have landed a good local job. This is the Ranger team. This team is specially for monitoring Hanifaro area. Actually first of all I didn't have any idea about what is the Ranger because it is totally new to this Maldives and this is the first place in Maldives which is protected and monitored. But later I get to know each and every concept of these rules and regulations. So it is really fascinating to me to do this work. Key to making the biosphere and protected area work is ensuring that local people also gain direct benefits. The income generated through the park entrance fee is being channeled to the newly created Bar Atoll Conservation Fund and local groups will be able to apply for grants to do preservation, livelihoods or awareness activities. I feel the park is a very good idea. Because it is protected there will be more species in that area and more tourists will come. Samat is a single mother of two. She was disabled in an accident and now fishing is her main source of income. She is hopeful that the new fund will spark more livelihood opportunities for people on the island. My dream is to see that the system works as a fully functional biosphere reserve and the local people who are living there start getting direct benefit from the biosphere reserve. That's my dream and I'm hoping that many other biosphere reserves or marine parks will be established in Maldives elsewhere and the benefits from those reserves or the parks will be actually given to the locals. Many Australia Awards alumni like Naeem are using the knowledge and connections they gained in Australia to make a difference back home. With rangers and other trained staff now on the ground in Bar Atoll the conservation fund up and running and everyone rallying behind the effort Naeem's dream is well on the way to becoming a reality.

Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make the impossible box. So I've got three different sizes that I'm going to share with you today. These are the ones I've done during my Facebook live and you all really enjoyed it and you've enjoyed making those sizes but I did say I had another one so I'm going to show you that size today. Along with these ones you're going to get three boxes in this tutorial and I also have another one but I'm going to keep that for a separate tutorial because that one's a little bit different. So if you haven't heard of the impossible box they were really popular about two years ago. I actually had a very big box from Marks and Spencer's and I took it apart. It was a big burgundy one and I'm sure I've shared it on the Facebook page and if I can find it I'll link it into my blog. It's a really fun style and the reason it's called impossible is because when you look at it it looks impossible but it's obviously not. There's lots of other YouTubers that have done some great videos as well so if you just type in impossible box you will see those and obviously get some different sizes. Okay so this is what it is. It looks like a nice box and then you just pull the top so it's really easy for the person that you give this to to you know work out because whenever you see a lid you just go to pull it off but as you lift it it opens like this and there is lots of room. I've actually put a candle in this during the Facebook live and then you just close it down on itself. It's very very clever so again that's the pink one just so you can kind of see all the workings there and I've got 10 plates for everything so it's easy for you to follow and then these are super cute really really nice ones here and again just pull up the sides and you can see inside. Brilliant they are just little genius boxes and there's the orange one there as well. Okay so let me show you how to make these. Okay so I've got everything here the papers I've used on all of the boxes is from my major surprise range and it's the party paper pad and then I'm also going to decorate this one with Jerry the giraffe and I've done a little rosette and again I'll talk through that when we get to it. So first of all I'm going to show you how to make this size. Okay so if I just get rid of all of this underneath we can go through that in a moment. Okay so for that size there you'll want a piece of 11.5 by 12 cardstock. This one here uses smaller cardstock along with the other size I'm going to show you as well so if you don't have 12 by 12 fast forward and you'll see some other sizes that you can make using your standard cardstock. This is the template that I've done here and I'm going to just go through this as I score everything and when we go to cut I think it will make a lot more sense. Now I did say in the live I think these boxes work better if you've got a slightly lighter weight cardstock so around the 200 gsm I did use 240 and that seemed to work okay but I think if you start creeping up to the 270 300 gsm you're putting a lot of pressure on the top here and you can see this folds back over on itself and then you've got a lot of folds and bits and pieces going on there and you may you know put a bit too much strain on it.  So what you want to do first of all is along the 11 and a half inch side we're going to score it two and three quarters five and a half eight and a quarter and 11 okay so we've just scored these four score lines here then you want to pop it along the 12 inch side and you're going to score it two and three quarters eight and a quarter nine and five eighths and eleven so you can see what we've just done this score line this one this one and this one then what you also want to do is flip it over and just score that 11 inch one again because we're actually going to be folding that opposite to all the others okay and now we can fold and burnish all of the score lines so these ones here so this is I've just folded this one here and then I'm going to do this one this one but this one that we just flipped and I told you to score the other way you want to fold it that way I'm going to do a bit of cutting and stuff on this in a minute but just so you get an idea because usually you just fold and burnish all your score lines in the same kind of direction but that one you do want to kind of start to work it the opposite way just makes it easier at the end so again I'm just doing all of the score lines along the 11 and a half side because these are the sides of the box like so okay and then that one at the top so there's our half inch tab and that one's going to come over but what we want to do first of all you've got your half inch tab on the right hand side here and then you've got one two three sections here one two three the top two you want to fold away from yourself okay pop it back into your board here so there's the 11 and a half inch there I'm going to put some little markers now you might find it better to use a pencil you can mark it with that that's what I used on the video but I'm going to use the pencil for today's tutorial and you just want to put a little marker at one and three eighths four and one eighth six and seven eighths and nine and five eighths okay so what we've done is we've marked the halfway point on each of these rectangles so it's these ones here we're just working in we've folded these two away from us they're underneath if you now turn it so that this is now facing you and you want to grab some scissors I'm going to use my snips here and what we're doing now so if I just fold that over that's those two and now I've got it facing me so we've now got our half inch tab on the left hand side we're now going to cut across from the pencil mark to that score line here which is this one so this black where I've you know coloured it in we're actually cutting that away so from that pencil mark if you want to do a pencil line from this pencil mark to this point so you know you're going to get that nice and straight you can do it's this bit's quite important it is if you are slightly off or you've cut maybe maybe you cut down slightly past that score line you've cut maybe a little bit to the left of the pencil mark what it will mean is it will slightly alter the closure gap here you know we want that to be as small as possible if it's a bit bigger it doesn't matter but that's why it will happen so if some of you are wondering you know why is my hole a little bit bigger or it's maybe very very tight you may have cut you know not right on there you may be more to the the right hand side here so that's just something to look out for and so now what we want to do so we've removed that one now we need to remove this one here so we need to cut down this score line so I'm cutting down this one here and keep the cardstock underneath really you know pinch it together so you don't want it shifting at all and then you're going to cut across again from that pencil mark all the way down to there you can see it just falls away and then you know you've got a good cut again so we've just removed that one now we're going to do that one and that one so again exactly the same process you're cutting down the score line the straight one and then you're cutting from your pencil mark across to join them up like so and then that last one okay so that's what we've got then this very end bit here you can see I've got it here we're just going to remove it so just cut down and take that away like so okay so if I just lay that next to it there you can see what we've just done we've got the same now what we also need to do is remove this rectangle here so I'm just going to flip it around and just take out this one okay and you can also just cut a little wedge on there and there just so it's easier to stick together and we don't get anything overhanging so now if I open this up and open up the template these are obviously all been cut away and you can see now we've got all of these pieces just the same as our template I'll take photos of this I'll write the measurements in here as well the score lines and that will all be on my blog but that's what we've got and also you need to cut up the bottom score lines as well so I'm just going to grab my longer scissors we'll rub those pencil marks out as well but just cut up now all of these to that first score line okay so that's that one now all ready to sit down but I'm also going to go through the measurements of the other two because the sticking together is is pretty much the same across all of them so once you get it I can kind of speed those bits up so now if you want to make this smaller one this is really sweet I've got my pattern paper there ready so this is the template so this is using one piece of 10 and a half by eight and a quarter so I think this would be a popular one for those of you that have a lot of the smaller cardstock so this one here I'm using this lovely yellow color so what you want to do is along the 10 and a half side you want to score it two and a half five seven and a half and ten okay then rotate it along the eight and a quarter side and again you want to score it two and a half four and a half five and three quarters and then seven okay now again flip it over and score that seven one again because that's that top one that you're going to fold away so you can now fold that one towards you got the tab there on the right hand side but all those other ones you will fold and burnish you know as you normally would again there's that one facing towards you here's our half inch tab on the right hand side the first two you want to fold away from yourself so you should have three sections now in front of you pop it back in your scoreboard and we're going to do those little markers again so I'm going to grab my pencil and we're marking halfway between each of those rectangles okay so the first one you want to score at one and a quarter sorry you want to put a little pencil mark at one and a quarter then you want to do at three and three quarters then at six and a quarter and then at eight and three quarters okay then you're going to turn it so it's facing you again and we're going to cut across all of those sections so I will bring in this again I think it helps I'm going to fold the two away from me and I'm going to turn it like this so again we've now got the half inch tab on our left hand side and I'm going to remove this one here so from that pencil mark I'm going to cut across like so and then I'm going to cut down this score line and then I'm going to go to the next pencil mark and again I'm going to cut down and just repeat that just as I did with the blue one before again this little rectangle at the end here remember you're cutting through two pieces so really pinch the card together but you're removing that so there you can see again I've got the same as my template open it up rub out those pencil marks and you will have something like this again we also need to take away this one here so I'm just going to cut that one away and I'm going to take a little wedge off of the tab and then I'm going to cut up all of these score lines along the bottom again just up to that first score line that one's going to fold towards us and we're all ready to stick that one down okay then the other size I want to show you because again like I said we'll stick them all at the same time is this one here which is going to use two pieces of letter paper size or your A4 here's the template here so I've already done one because you're going to do two in exactly the same way so that one's ready so you want two pieces of 11 by 8 and a quarter I've done that size again because everybody can you know whether you've got the letter paper size or A4 you can do this so along the 8 and a quarter inch side you want to score at 4 and 8 and then along the 11 inch side you want to score at 4 6 8 and 10 okay again flip it over and score that 10 on the other side flip it back and then fold back towards you and then all the others again you will fold and burnish as you normally would okay so again now I've got a quarter inch tap here because I wanted to get the most out of this paper and this is on the right hand side so you're going to fold the top two away from you pop it in here pop it back into our scoreboard and we're going to put a pencil mark at 2 and 6 okay turn it so it's facing you again I'll bring in the template so I'm folding away the top two flip it this way so it's facing me so now we've got the quarter inch tab on the left and we're going to cut away and do exactly the same I'm going to use my largest scissors here so I'm going to cut right down like so and then you've just got the one score line through the middle here so again nice and neat right down and then from the pencil mark right across and then you've just got this small little section here to cut down okay and then we just need to turn it now this way and we want to remove this corner here which I've got just down here and then take little wedges so hopefully by me doing these three all together and you know seeing the different sizes but you can see the process is exactly the same and then you just want to cut up that one there open it up and you can see we've got this effect here but you need to do that twice so you've got two pieces okay so now we want to stick them together so these two you'll stick exactly the same way and I'll do the one with the two pieces in a minute so first of all what you want to do I'm going to bring in my glue here is you want to add your glue to this tab here but you want to make sure you folded this one over turn the whole thing over fold over this one side and just make sure you burnish that well there and this is where you might start to see any cracking and stuff if you're using a weight of card that's you know maybe just too thick and then fold this one over and they should line up and stick down on top of each other I'm just going to pull that one up a little bit there whilst I hold it in place and just re-burnish that a little bit there okay so that's that one and I'm going to do the same on this one so you're just going to add your glue all down here again make sure you fold that piece over turn the whole thing over bringing this one round and then bring this one over again it will all lie down perfectly okay I'm going to then just pop those two to one side and bring in the green one because this is exactly the same but all we've got to do first of all is make it like it's just one big piece of card so I'm going to pop my glue on there and also on this one here okay and you just want to lay your card over the two of them so it all lines up so now we've got that one big piece we just treat this now just as we did with those two there so again I'm going to just pop my glue just on that one remember to fold that forward and then just thought actually with that one because we've done the two you actually want to stick that on the other side so you want to stick that over like that because you're actually going to be folding this towards you I am going to put pattern paper over that so it doesn't matter that it's lifted a little bit but you actually want to fold that piece over the top and then fold it down I'm going to be careful that that glue doesn't stick inside there but I'll cover all that in a moment and then just flip it over that one and then that one like so now we've got our three boxes so I'm going to open this one up so I'm going to stick my sides in first so I'm going to do this one then the opposite side then the back one and then the front one and that way you just get the continuation of the card stock there on the front that wraps all the way around then I'm just going to go inside there with my ruler and just push down all of the base pieces so they stick together okay so now we've got this piece here again with this one here's the back seam so I'm going to stick my sides in first not too worried that they don't stick initially just get the glue on them the back one and this will really reinforce it now as well so if you do want to put a bottle of something in there maybe some you know some heavy perfumes things like that it will hold it again flip it over and just go in there with my ruler okay and then you're doing exactly the same with this one okay so there are the three boxes and you can already now start to see all the shape coming together so now I'm going to do the yellow one so it's up to you you might want to add your mats and layers now you might want to also add any mats and layers before we stick it all together but I find it still easy to do so I'm actually just going to take a little wedge off of this one I don't know if I said that earlier probably not because I haven't done it on them just take a little wedge off and what's going to happen is that's going to stick inside of here but we're going to do that when we've closed it so what you want to do it should just automatically because the way we've folded it all of these score lines inside are all pointing inwards so when you go to push that can you see it all just naturally comes down on itself like so it's really really cool and now we want to add some glue to that and pop it underneath there and that way you get a really nice closure because you can push that you know bring that right around like so and that's going to be at the back as well but can you see how cool that looks and that will pull up nicely so I'm going to bring in this glue the reason I use this one it's just a really quick grab so it's great for your tabs the my callow glue is just really good for adding strength to the base and for mats and layers so I'm just popping that there and then just make sure everything lines up and bring that one across till that's stuck like so and now I can just pull that up and it pops up you can get inside there pop the treats in and then just push that down and you know it will fit because it's you know you glued it you know outside so cool love these really really fun again just pull it up and all you do it as well just you know just work it a little bit and it will you know it moves fine so again with this one here just make sure they all push inwards and then it will fold down like so okay again I'm just going to take a little wedge off of those pop a little bit of glue on there and then just feed that one carefully under there like so and again with that one I can just pull it up you can see all your space inside and again it just closes down perfectly nice and straight and then this one again push them all inwards once you get it into that shape and it will you know stay there and again we just got that smaller tab but it's enough to hold it all together and there's that little bit there where I lifted it earlier but my pattern paper is going to cover that in a minute but I think that's a great size I really like that size I think that's going to get used a lot at Christmas time and again you can see how you get into that one and again close it all down like so so now I'm just going to go through the mats and layers and then I can just kind of whiz through that bit so for this one here I've cut these pieces and it's up to you you might want to do them so that you have I I've done all of mine so that the pattern paper covers all of this section even with the lid closing but if you're worried that your lid isn't going to go over maybe you've got a thicker paper maybe you're using more of a card stop then you might not want to do it this size so I'm going to give you the size I've got but I'll also give you another size so these are two and a half by five and a quarter you'll want four pieces but if you want to cover it when the lids closed so like so then you would want four pieces that are that same width of two and a half but these would be by four and a quarter okay that just means that when you lift the lid up this would be plain in my case plain blue which still looks nice okay but I have done them you can see on here I've done it the whole height okay and then I've got these little pieces here which are going to cover all of this section and these are again two and a half because you're bringing it in slightly by three quarters and they're going to stick on all four sides and you can also cover the triangles on the top as well you'll just need to work out you know your size square I imagine you're going to want to probably do something around I would come down as far as two and a quarter squared so you get that equal border on all three and all four triangles so yeah if you done two and a quarter squared I might do it actually and show you and then just cut it into fours then that would go on the top there okay that's for that one for this little one here you'll want four pieces that are one and three quarters by two and a quarter but again if you just want to cover the bottoms or in this case because of the way is you might want to keep that plain in color and just cover this one here but if you did want to cover the bottom with the lid down then you're going to want something that is oh gosh I'd do five eighths of an inch by two and a quarter but like I said I've done those sizes and then to cover the tops here I've got four pieces of one by two and a quarter and I've just done this little sentiment here which I've done on all of them there which I thought worked really well and it just says a gift for you and it's from an old Stumpendous one so I'll be adding that onto them and then lastly I've got this one to cover the green one here so I've got again four pieces of one and three quarters by three and three quarters but again if you just want to cover this part here you'll want to do three quarters by three and three quarters okay and then for the top piece there on all four sides it is three quarters by three three quarters again all of those measurements will be on my blog but I'm now going to get these all stuck down and then I'll show you the more finished boxes so there's the small little yellow one really cute love that little sentiment and you just lift it up again you can see all that lovely pattern paper and you can get inside this one here I haven't done the top of this one I'll show you the sizes for that one but I would just reduce whatever your size is here so this is four by four so I would do three and five eighths of an inch squared and then cut it into fours and that will give you your format layers there and again just open it up and you've got all that space inside and it closes perfectly and then those are the two I showed you before without the tops but then this one here I have actually covered the top there and that was using a piece of two and a quarter square and again just cut so yeah just reduce it by three three eighths of an inch whatever the size is of this reduce it by three eighths and that would be your mat layers and then I've just finished it with a rosette there which was a piece of one by 12 it was just the longest length you can have really scored it every quarter of an inch and you can see I've got them on those ones as well and I've just put galloping by to say happy birthday and that's using the amazing animal stamp set from my collection as well I think they're so much fun again just opening that one up there you can see you really get to like appreciate all the I guess the mat layers that put all the pattern paper when you actually open it you can really see just how the box works and everything so yeah okay so that's my three sizes of the impossible box which is not impossible so I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial as always if you have if
