Forums Play Mode Discussion I am being forced to play ranked mode.
I am being forced to play ranked mode.
Because in casual mode I get 90% bots and only 10% legit players.
It's commonly understood by the community that bots are terrible at the game. Therefore, if you play (and win) enough casual games, your matchmaker rating (MMR) will rise high enough that you shouldn't see any more bots. Just an FYI in case you are one of those players who insta-concedes against bots.
Being forced implies that there is something other than your own self-imposed restrictions making you do it.
You did bad enough in Casual that your MMR sunk into bot territory. You have a solution, an easy one in fact. Beat the bots and get back to normal people land.
There is nothing "principled" about refusing to deal with the bots in low-MMR Casual, you're only holding yourself back.
Oh yes because Hearthstone is a PvE game let's play against a machine ... it's allright.
Just like the low level PvP in WoW, you'll find bots there as well. It happens in some games.
Unfortunately, you've gotten yourself stuck in a vicious cycle now. There are plenty of non-bot opponents out there for you to enjoy, you just have to stop being stubborn in order to get them. Perhaps not your favorite solution, but it's there and easy for the taking.
Can you not read what others are saying? Did you do as they said? I have not encountered a bot in Casual for years now, if ever. Stop digging your own grave but get out of there.
From my past experience, the only way you would encounter tons of bots and new players in casual is if you conceded like 20-40 times in a row in casual.
Has this changed within the last year or so?
My last 8 games in Casual Mode!
The numbers 2. / 4. / 6. / 7. / 8. are all robots, until same, freshy players don't use only vanilla cards.
Today in Ranked Mode I met counters, bad players, awsome players, however, nothing similar to players in 2. ; 4. ; 6. ; 7. and 8.
Now I didn't concede, I won 8 matches and robots continue appearing ... : | When I play again I will keep with the report of my matches.
I guess you can't find bots if you are higher than 15 in ranked mode.
It's going to take more than a few wins if you've been conceding for this long, dude.
I have couple of accounts that I only climb to rank 15, and they demote back to rank 19 each month. Granted, I don't play much Casual with those accounts, but when I do, I don't remember encountering bots with them also. All this is in Standard though. Which makes me curious.
Can someone who plays Wild Casual, and somewhat confident that their MMR is high enough (like, in Standard Casual, I almost always get matched with netdecks variants), enlighten me? How often do you guys get matched with bots?
And question to the OP, how long have you been playing? Was it always like this (encountering bots often)? If not, when did you notice this happening often? I'm just trying to figure out if the recent rank change (players who ever hit 15, can't drop below 20) might've caused something.
We need an official Blizzard bot. Wouldn't that be the best? You could just tell your bot to play Pattern deck A B or C and then let it just do all the repeat play for you and you could go for a walk, read a book, play on the Xbox.
Make it cost like $5 or $10 for the official bot. Could make a lot of money on that.
8 wins will not get you from Bronze to even Gold, if that's what you're wondering.
This last bot had a better artificial intelligence.
This bot invasion happened abruptly. Make me smile more with your stand up.
Bots are terrible at the game, so all you have to do is beat them for a while and you won't see another one again.
13. was a little suspect, but, it is legit, anyway. 15. was a rigged bot to keep me in 50% winrate. And I want to do a relection here, after I get my MMR good enough to just meet real people, then, I am prohibited to test new ideas and get smashed a few times while I adjust the deck for my best if I don't want to meet bots again? For don't find bots I need play only netdecks in casual? My situation is stupid! More stupid is people trying to justify in PVP "low leves" people fight against bots, an absurd concept, indeed. Oh yeah, almost, forgot all the trolls giving me dislikes too, how if I was a liar, if everything was okay, I was playing Hearthstone happy as a child and not losing my time in these toxic forums.
15. was a rigged bot to keep me in 50% winrate.
Continuing with what I said, this seems to be almost exclusive to Wild. Wild is known to have fewer playerbase, Wild Casual moreso likely. Whether bots suddenly decided to all jump into Wild because there is less competition, I do not know. But smaller pool of players can result in frequent matched with bots in certain MMR bracket. So far I don't see any details suggesting some insidious bot spam/exploitation or that something is wrong with Blizz MM. But as I said, I don't play Wild, so not familiar with anything down there.
This bot invasion happened abruptly.
Define abrutly? Like, you've been playing Wild Casual since when but this bot invasion happened what weeks/months ago?
/sigh. These stuff is what makes people take you less seriously. First off, bot is easy mode. It really really is not hard to win. Granted, if your deck is less optimal due to lack of collection, you could lose to draw rng, but to say a normally easy target for win (i.e. it boots your winrate) as rigged bot to keep you at 50%? pfffff. There is always a reason for your loss, right?
And I want to do a relection here, after I get my MMR good enough to just meet real people, then, I am prohibited to test new ideas and get smashed a few times while I adjust the deck for my best if I don't want to meet bots again?

Proof read before you post. I can guess what you're trying to ask, but it does not make it certain with some errors in your sentences.
Again, I'm talking in terms of Standard Casual here, but I don't have any problem play testing some of my ideas (as in, I don't see bots even then). This doesn't mean building some outrageously unoptimal deck and hoping it will work. Play testing as in correcting some tempo or value problem, correcting the curve and all that. So no, you don't need to play netdecks everytime, in Standard at least.
Nobody is saying bots are fine or justifying it. They are saying getting out of that bracket shouldn't be hard. But as I said, this could be a Wild issue. Less players in the pool leading more mixed match with bots. Can Blizz eliminate them, or will they do it? I don't know. But removing them could cause a bigger void in the pool leading to longer que time, getting matched with much higher level opponent. If you want to just get out of this whole issue, play Wild ranked or Standard Casual.
I am playing in Casual Standard Mode, but, I met some bots in Wild Casual mode four or three days ago. The "bot invasion" happened 3 or 4 days ago. The 15. part were my rants to lose to a bot, vanilla minions played in curve and etc unluck and small mistakes maybe turned him in a snowball.
Ah english is not my first language, I try my max, anyway, it isn't excuse right? You can critic it.
Well people are a little troll, that is part of the why they dislike me.
The bots are going away, I got surprised with 29. : | I'll keep reporting.


Sunrise Micro was contracted to design a cashless credit transfer system for Global Gaming Industries. This system complies with the poker machine guidelines set down by the New South Wales State Government.
Shown is the interface board developed as part of the project. This board interfaces the standard port of a NSW approved gaming machine to the Global Gaming central credit controller. The interface pcb's game port communicates with the gaming machine, using the protocol set down in the regulations. The interface pcb's controller port communicates by an isolated RS485 network to the central controller. The interface board software makes the necessary protocol conversion.
The main PCB for the central credit controller is based on one of the game board platforms we had previously designed for Global Gaming. We re-developed the software to implement a user interface by means of a POS style keyboard, a monitor and a printer.

CEO on constructing dealer relationships
By lalaine	 Last updated Dec 1, 2021
Continue reading: Risk Managers and Brokers: How to Build the Relationship
"We have had many great opportunities to connect with potential broker partners and reach over 80 partnerships in 2021," said Foy. "We have an enormous platform that enables us to attract partners and let them continue to grow and prosper."
The CEO explained the company's hybrid model, which works with brokers and increases and accelerates the level of performance.
"We're taking the octane fuel they have in their tanks and replacing it with rocket fuel," he said. "Brokers are business builders, entrepreneurs who have made a name for themselves in their communities. We want them to keep this autonomy and provide them with additional tools that can relieve them of some of the work. "
Foy emphasized the importance of giving brokers the time they need to focus on providing great service to existing customers and the ability to bring new customers on board.
By relieving some of the administrative burden like payroll, benefits, and other HR or accounting pressures, brokers can focus on growing a large business, and with the right partnerships, cross-selling opportunities are endless.
"Bringing all these different experts together makes us a better team," he said. "When someone is working on real estate and someone else is working on social benefits, we bring these people together and write business as a team."
"This is a thrill for brokers and we've seen so much growth in partner collaboration over the years," he added.
Fostering a culture of cohesion is invaluable. Foy mentioned that they have new partner meetings every quarter so brokers get to know each other and the PCF team, but it doesn't stop there.
"We also bring all of our partners and their spouses together so everyone knows the group of people who run the business," he said. "It's not just about growing the business, it's also about building relationships."
Building transparent relationships within an organization is critical to long-term success and talent retention.
"A lot of our partners are 35 to 40 years old because they see the value in repositioning for growth, and everyone has equity, which is really exciting," said Foy. "We promote this equity so that all employees have the opportunity to participate in our employee appreciation pool or to buy something."
When all levels of employees come together they will be successful together, which is key to the PCF culture. Foy said that establishing a coherent culture takes a lot of personal contact to understand each individual's unique needs.
Next read: Good internal communication is no coincidence
"They don't want to be 100% digital," he added. "Having a relationship in which you combine both personal and digital communication saves time, energy and money."
Technology is extremely useful, but at the end of the day, personal interaction and a handshake help build a deeper connection – it makes them more open to explaining what they need and what their goals are for the future.
"For us, it's all about people, not just their business," said Foy. "When you bring highly qualified people together, it's incredible what you can achieve."

Built for the climate. The Temperance Street Passive House in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, will have more than 17 in. of dense-pack cellulose in exterior walls and R-100 worth of loose-fill cellulose in the attic.
All the owners of the single-family home at 1102 Temperance Street originally wanted was the removal of an unwanted balcony.
The owners of the 1940s house on Saskatoon's east side may have had more modest ambitions at the start, but they weren't counting on the extensive structural decay their builder, Robin Adair, uncovered as he took the balcony apart.
Insulated footings: A foot of PlastiSpan 40 psi foam keeps the chill out of the building's concrete footings. The foam is set on a low-strength slurry mix equivalent to a compacted gravel base, according to Adair. Footings are poured atop the foam, followed by a foundation made from insulated concreted forms.
The wood-framed building, on a foundation of insulated concrete forms, will have four bedrooms and four bathrooms in each unit. Exterior walls start with a structural 2×4 wall sheathed with 5/8-inch spruce plywood, which serves as the air barrier. Seams are taped with Ampacoll XT tape.
Beyond the sheathing is an assembly similar to a Larsen Truss wall, consisting of 2x4s separated by webs of 1/2-inch thick plywood, then 5/8-in. tongue-and-groove Agepan DWD fiberboard sheathing, then a rain screen and, finally, HardiPlank fiber cement siding. The truss wall is 14 in. thick, and both it and the 2×4 structural wall will be insulated with dense-pack cellulose.
The roof is constructed with trusses 24 inches on-center, with a 28-inch raised heel providing room for insulation over exterior walls. Roof pitches are 4-in-12 and 12-in-12. The roof sheathing is 1/2-in. spruce plywood.
Adair says costs will total about $195 (Canadian) per square foot, which he estimates is 5% to 10% more than a code-compliant house when comparing a basic shell with windows, but no cladding, trim or other finish details.
An electric heater in the ventilation system will heat the house, supplemented by electric in-floor heat in the bathroom, and a wall convector in the kitchen, according to Nemeth. Fresh air comes from a Zehnder Novus 300 Passivhaus-certified heat-recovery ventilator, which Nemeth says has heat recovery efficiency of 93%. Ducts are semi-rigid high-density polyethylene.
Because of roof overhangs and other ventilation features, mechanical cooling wasn't deemed necessary.
Below grade insulation: Twelve inches of Type II EPS under the basement slab; 12 inches of PlastiSpan 40 psi underneath the footings; 10 inches of Type II EPS on the exterior of the ICF foundation walls; and 12 in. of Type II EPS on the exterior of the footing.
Wall and roof insulation: Above grade walls have a total of 17.5 in. of dense-pack cellulose (R-66). The roof is insulated with 30 in. of loose-fill cellulose (R-100).
Windows: Gaulhofer Energy Line 85 Plus, triple-glazed units. The windows are set about 8 inches in from the outside face of the wall.
Domestic hot water: Electric tank heater. Drain water heat recovery should capture about 25% of the energy used to heat the water. When prices come down, a heat pump water heater could replace the conventional unit.
Renewable energy: A roof-mounted photovoltaic array with a capacity of 4kw, plus the potential for adding another 3kw of PV on the garage roof.
Air tightness: A blower door test on Feb. 2 found an air leakage rate of 0.37 air changes per hour at a pressure difference of 50 Pascals–about half of what's permitted by the Passivhaus standard. As good as that is, Adair says some further tightening is possible.
Foundations are made from insulated concrete forms. Foundation walls are insulated with an additional 10 in. of rigid foam; footings are placed on a foot of EPS foam.
Exterior walls include a 2x4 structural wall plus 14-in.-deep trusses with a total of 17-1/2 in. of dense-pack cellulose. Windows are supported by bucks made from 3/4-in. plywood and set about 8 in. in from the outside face of the wall.


The Artisan project on Goodge Street had art and craftsmanship at the centre of its design ethos and the project has deservedly won this years London Evening Standard Conversion of the Year Award! Click Here to read the full article!
Our case study presents a dynamic and creative approach to how we work with designers and our artists. We also caught up with Head Designers from Rolfe Judd Katherine and Laura and here is what they had to say about the project!
What themes have inspired the interior design at the Artisan Project?
Artisan is a unique development that actively encouraged craftsmanship, all items within it needed to be unique and on par with the targeted end user.
What were you looking for when concepting initial art ideas?
The artwork is very specific to the project and the apartments, the works needed to be unusual but in a sophisticated, no nonsense way, they are very much part of the interior design concept.
How did you approach selecting the art?
We had a very clear idea of what the artwork should be saying within each space and as an overall, the artwork needed to stand out as striking elements within the spaces.
How did you find the commissioning process?
Commissioning was great, helped by Paresha's understanding of our requirements and the artists limitations.
We understand "artisan" and "crafted" were central to the design, how else did these influence your interior choices?
The developers on Artisan were focused on having an exclusive bespoke offering they can use as an additional selling element. As interior designers it is always a pleasure to use bespoke 'one-off' products to give a sense of identity and personal style.


The crew evacuate the ship after Holly spots five black holes in the distance. Rimmer and Lister leave together in Starbug but hit a meteor and crash on a snow planet with no way to escape. With little food and heat, Lister begins to open up to Rimmer to try and take his mind off the situation, including talking about Rimmer's fascination with war and when they both lost their virginities. Soon the fire dies down and the only thing left to burn is Lister's guitar and Rimmer's priceless camphorwood chest. Lister makes him think that he will burn the guitar but instead cuts a guitar-shaped hole in the back of the chest and burns that. However, his smugness turns to guilt when Rimmer says that the chest belonged to his father and is worth more to him than life. When Kryten and Cat finally find them, Lister grabs his guitar and hightails it before Rimmer can realise what he did.

Q: Is Z/p a finite field only when p is prime number? In Integer and modular addition of Cyclic group:

The integer and modular addition operations, used to define the cyclic
  groups, are both the addition operations of commutative rings, also
  denoted Z and Z/n. If p is a prime, then Z/p is a finite field, and is
  usually instead written as Fp or GF(p). Every field with p elements is
  isomorphic to this one.

Per my understanding, the Z/p should be a finite field no matter p is prime or not, is it right?

A: It'll be finite, but it won't be a field. A field requires that every element has a multiplicative inverse.
Take for example $Z/6$. In this ring, $2 \cdot 3 = 6 = 0$, but neither $2$ nor $3$ is zero. An elementary consequence of this is that neither of them can have multiplicative inverses.

A: No; if $p$ is not prime, then $\Bbb{Z}_p$ is not a field. If $p$ is not prime, then let $ab=p$, where $a\neq 1,p$. Then in $\Bbb{Z}_p$, we have $ab = 0$. If $\Bbb{Z}_p$ were a field, then there would exist $c$ such that $ac = 1$. However, we would then have $b = cab = c\cdot 0 = 0$, which is false (if $b=0$ mod $p$ then $a=1$).

A: An important sometimes overlooked addition to the provided answers:
Although there exist finite fields on $p^n$, it is not the case that $\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z}$ is a field for $n>1$. $p^{k-1}$ and $p$ are both non-zero elements of $\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z}$, but their product is obviously $p^n=0$. Constructions of finite fields for $n>1$ can be tricky, although there is a simple example for $n=2$ and $p=4k+3$ given by $$(\mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2+1))/(p)=\mathbb{Z}[i]/(p))\cong \mathbb{F}_{p^2}$$ The reason this fails to work for other values of $p$ is that $i$ is the solution to $x^2+1=0$, but this equation already has solutions when $p=4k+1$ and when $p=2$ which makes the reduction trivial.

Opened Munch exhibit in London
Her Majesty The Queen opened the major exhibition "Edvard Munch: Love and Angst " at the British Museum on Tuesday evening. It is the largest exhibition of Munch's graphic works in the United Kingdom in 45 years.
The exhibition explores Edvard Munch's ability to convey human emotions. Across 83 works he depicts love and desire, loneliness, anxiety and sorrow. The "father of Expressionism" was able to convey universal feelings in a way that would become a whole new movement in art.
"I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love." Munch's statement from 1889 would become his artistic manifesto.
I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love. Edvard Munch.
Queen Sonja quoted him in her opening speech, and noted that Munch lived up to his statement of intent.
"I think most of us can recognise our own lives in his art," said the Queen. "Munch is universal, because he shows us who we can be – on the large canvas between love and angst."

Cooperation with the Munch Museum
The exhibition is a collaboration with the Munch Museum in Oslo and includes 50 graphic works from its collection – the largest-ever international loan of graphic works by the Munch Museum.
British Museum Director Hartwig Fischer and Munch Museum Director Stein Henrichsen followed the Queen at the speaker's podium. The Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård, who is featured in an interview in the exhibition catalogue, spoke as well.
After the opening, Queen Sonja was given a tour of the exhibition by curators Giulia Bartrum and Ute Kuhlemann Falck.
The exhibition is on show until 21 July 2019.

Alanya is located in the Antalya province of southern Turkey, and sits approximately 133km east of the city of Antalya. Until 2012 Alanya was served by Antalya international airport and had a lengthy transfer time of around 2 hours, however, in 2012 Alanya was lucky enough to gain a new airport in the Gazipasa area, thankfully reducing airport transfer times down to just 30 minutes with flights from many European countries.
This new airport in Gazipasa has given Alanya's large number of international and Turkish tourism trade a huge boost due to the shortened transfer time, which was often off putting to travellers.
Around the world real estate prices for properties with sea views normally command a high price tag, however, accommodation in Alanya, Turkey, a sea view almost certainly comes as standard. A good quality 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with a sea view can be purchased in the region of £40,000, an great chance to gain a foothold on the Turkish real estate market.
The majority of Alanya property for sale is normally based around apartments in complexes, more often than not featuring large communal swimming pools, gym's and children's playgrounds, and nearly always with 24hr security.
If your budget for property in Alanya can be stretched a little further you can purchase luxury seafront penthouse apartments in the region £70,000 with hotel like facilities, or if you prefer the privacy of a private villa these can purchased in the region of £90,000.
Tourism is particularly strong in Alanya, especially since the opening of Gazipasa airport, which is great news for investors looking for healthy rental yields.
Where Can You Buy Property in Alanya, Turkey?
Central – buyers looking to buy in central Alanya often buy on the northern edge, where you are slightly elevated and there are newer developments in greener areas away from the hustle and bustle of the town.
Traditional – Kargicak is located on the furthest fringes of Alanya but retains a traditional village feel, where fruit trees grow in abundance.
Up-market - Mahmutlar is a smart resort offering extensive facilities such as gated communities with pools and on-site services. This type of property is particularly popular with investors looking to rent out the property to holiday makers.
Suburbs – over time, the suburbs of Alanya have joined up as tourism has taken off. However, many of these satellite resorts have still retained a traditional rustic quality, making them popular with home buyers.
Eastern edge - Obakoy, Tosmur, Mahmutlar and Kargicak located on the eastern sides, are popular areas with a good selection of apartments.
Mountain areas – Obakoy is a village at the start of the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, so offers lovely scenic views in all directions. It's close to the centre of Alanya yet has its own local market, church and school. Property owners here can take advantage of living close to a beach and mountain and enjoy all the sports that are available to both.
River life - Tosmur is a quiet district on the eastern edge of the resort, close to the Dim River. This lovely area offers scenic mountain views with close proximity to the beach. Access to Alanya town centre is excellent with a local bus running every few minutes.
If you are searching for accommodation for sale in Alanya for investment purposes, then you have made a great choice, with a booming tourist industry investors can expect to reach as much as 8% rental yields per annum. Property prices in the area have already increased by as much as 40% over recent years and this trend is expected to continue in the years to come – music to your ears!
Traditional 2-bed apartment in Alanya for sale. Located in Tosmur just 6km from the centre and close to amenities with sea views. Alanya investment.


I have loved this song since I was a little kid. I remember it would come on the radio and I would dance all around the house to it. Sure it is a really cheesy pop song, but sometimes those are what puts a smile on the face. You got to hand it to Billy Joel, he is a guy who came from nothing. Supposedly the song is about him falling in love with super model Christie Brinkley whom he married and then divorced years later. Watch the video even though you have to sit through a twenty second commercial cause its pretty classic.

Secret documents and confidential sources, recently uncovered by this website, reveal that so-called "Stephen Miller," Senior Advisor to president Donald J. Trump and former Communications Director for then-Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, is actually the undead vampire of Hermann Göring.
Göring was the founder of the German Gestapo, and was later appointed Reichsmarschall, making him Hitler's successor. A fake news telegram to Hitler, and the fake news history of Hitler's reaction thereto, provided the pretext for Göring's continued furtherance of the Reich in secret after Hitler's elopement with Eva Braun.
Our sources tell us that Hitler's elopement and honeymoon, which was to be his retirement, was arranged to look like a suicide. They secretly fled in a U-boat to Japan, where Japanese scientists and yamabushi infused all the party leaders with Oni blood.
The details of the results of this vary, as none of the scientists survived. The surviving shugenja claimed that vampirism was the most common result. Göring, now immortal and bearing the weight of the entire Reich, replaced himself in the public eye with a golem doppelgänger using forbidden Jewish and Nordic magic the Nazis had learned during the course of the war.
The purpose of his return in the form of the so-called "Stephen Miller" is unclear, but reports indicate that he has spoken of a false flag operation involving arson, possibly at the White House or Pentagon.
Given Göring's claimed responsibility for the Reichstag fire of 1933, we posit it likely that Congress will be the target of this false flag attack, and Mexican or Syrian immigrants will be the scapegoats.
Whether dead, undead, or some purgatory in between this "stephen miller" character scares the beaded jeezus out of this Mexican America.
I wouldn't be surprised if your prognication of a Reichstag Fire does take place in Congress and a Mexican or Muslim (either of Trump's favorite M&M's) takes the fall. You, Callie, may have fake-exposed a very real act of terror in the new-forming rain of terror (sic — I'm just spelling it how they will on twitter).
You would think I would spell Reichstag wrong!

"Roaming, detail-interested study of time and progress in urban Africa" – The PhotoBook Review
"[Tillim] capte l'ambiance de l'Afrique d'aujourd'hui" / "[Tillim] captures the atmosphere of today's Africa" – Libération
"The images carry a sense of dynamism, yet uncertainty, an ambiguous feeling that maybe reflects a larger question about a continent's future." – The New York Review of Books
These photographs were made on long walks through the streets of African capitals, including Johannesburg, Durban, Maputo, Beira, Harare, Nairobi, Kigali, Kampala, Addis Ababa, Luanda, Libreville, Accra, Dakar and Dar es Salaam, and the series takes its title from the Museum of the Revolution in Maputo, Mozambique, which is situated on the Avenida 24 Julho. The 24th of July 1875 marked the end of an Anglo-Portuguese conflict for possession of the territory that was decided in favour of Portugal. One hundred years later the name of the avenue remained the same because Mozambique's independence from Portugal was proclaimed in June 1975 and now the 24th of July is Nationalisation Day.
In the Museum of the Revolution, there is a panoramic painting produced by North Korean artists depicting the liberation of the capital from Portuguese colonial rule. It illustrates the rhetoric of a revolution as the leader and followers parade through the streets and avenues, laid out with grandeur by the colonial powers. These streets, named and renamed, function as silent witnesses to the ebb and flow of political, economic and social shifts of power and become a museum of the many revolutions that have taken place in African countries over the past 65 years.
In Tillim's photographs, the streets of these African capitals reflect a new reality, distinct from the economic stagnation wrought by socialist policies that usually accompanied African nationalism, the reality of rebuilding and enterprise, and new sets of aspirations imbued with capitalistic values.

Kevin Smith Calls Heart Attack 'The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me'
The "Clerks" actor and director opens up on surgery, weight loss and staying positive after his near-death experience
By Isabella Bruni
Published Apr 23, 2018 at 8:14 AM | Updated at 8:29 AM PDT on Apr 23, 2018
"Clerks" star and director Kevin Smith said on "Today" his doctor saved his life after a heart attack.
"I was afraid of dying, that's my biggest fear ever," he said. "My second biggest fear was anyone seeing me naked."
Smith said he's now a Weight Watchers ambassador along with Oprah Winfrey and DJ Khaled.
Just about two months after suffering a massive heart attack, actor and director Kevin Smith shared details about his journey back to health on "Today."
"Honestly, the heart attack was the best thing that ever happened to me," Smith said, adding that his doctor saved his life.
The "Clerks" star and filmmaker suffered a heart attack Feb. 25 right after a standup comedy show in Glendale, California. The heart attack, called a "widowmaker" because of its low survival rate, was caused by total blockage of his left anterior descending artery (LAD), landing him in the hospital for surgery.
Smith's doctor used a stent to open up his vein.
"Suddenly I breathed — I felt a world better," Smith recalled.
"None of the blood was going through there for who knows how long. I had 100 percent blockage for years so I wasn't getting proper oxygen. So now I feel great," the New Jersey native said.
Despite his precarious condition, Smith says the doctors found him to be quite lively during the operation, saying he would constantly ask questions and would sing an occasional song.

"So the dude went in there and they keep you awake while it's going on, they don't knock you out, so I was talking the whole operation," he said. "He told me later on, 'You're very chatty.'"
Smith told "Today" hosts Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin he sang the words to the teen drama series "Degrassi's" theme song because it's "very hopeful." "Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through," he sang to the anchors.

Although Smith came across as a fun and positive patient, he said he still had his fears — death and nudity.
"I was afraid of dying, that's my biggest fear ever," the 47-year-old said. "My second biggest fear was anyone seeing me naked. And in the hospital your chances of dying and being seen naked go up real huge."
I was trying to do a killer standup special this evening but I might've gone too far. After the first show, I felt kinda nauseous. I threw up a little but it didn't seem to help. Then I started sweating buckets and my chest felt heavy. Turns out I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life at the #glendale hospital told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (also known as "the Widow-Maker" because when it goes, you're a goner). If I hadn't canceled the second show to go to the hospital, the Doc said I would've died tonight. For now, I'm still above ground! But this is what I learned about myself during this crisis: death was always the thing I was most terrified of in life. When the time came, I never imagined I'd ever be able to die with dignity - I assumed I'd die screaming, like my Dad (who lost his life to a massive heart attack). But even as they cut into my groin to slip a stent into the lethal Widow-Maker, I was filled with a sense of calm. I've had a great life: loved by parents who raised me to become the individual I am. I've had a weird, wonderful career in all sorts of media, amazing friends, the best wife in the world and an incredible daughter who made me a Dad. But as I stared into the infinite, I realized I was relatively content. Yes, I'd miss life as it moved on without me - and I was bummed we weren't gonna get to make #jayandsilentbobreboot before I shuffled loose the mortal coil. But generally speaking, I was okay with the end, if this was gonna be it. I've gotten to do so many cool things and I've had so many adventures - how could I be shitty about finally paying the tab. But the good folks at the Glendale hospital had other plans and the expertise to mend me. Total strangers saved my life tonight (as well as my friends @jordanmonsanto & @iamemilydawn, who called the ambulance). This is all a part of my mythology now and I'm sure I'll be facing some lifestyle changes (maybe it's time to go Vegan). But the point of this post is to tell you that I faced my greatest fear tonight... and it wasn't as bad as I've always imagined it'd be. I don't want my life to end but if it ends, I can't complain. It was such a gift. #KevinSmith

Smith is now focusing on losing weight in order to maintain his health. His doctor recommended he lose 50 pounds and he says he has so far dropped 32 pounds. He credits vegetable-based diets and Weight Watchers to his success. He also read Penn Jillette's book "Presto" for weight-loss inspiration.
Same dude, different day. Pic on the left, is from nearly 10 years ago, at Zack & Miri premiere. Pic on the right is minutes ago. I was in Manhattan yesterday - a city that's legendary for it's amazing variety of food and eating options, where you could dine out here every night your entire life and never have to eat at the same restaurant twice. It's a land of food glorious food... but I'm on a diet. So even though they served what looked like an amazing buttercream cake at the @amc_tv event I went to last night, I didn't indulge. And next time I gotta stare down a meal the old me would've inhaled, I'll look at these two images of me out on control and me under control. It'll help keep the cake on the plate instead of in my maw. #KevinSmith #FitterButBitter #diet

"I joined Weight Watchers and they made me an ambassador. So it's me, Oprah and DJ Khaled. I'm in pretty good company," Smith said.


Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid analgesic similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more deadly. It is a Schedule II prescription drug and is designed for treating patients suffering from severe pain or for managing pain after surgery. Fentayl is prescribed in various names such as Actiq, Duragesic, and Sublimaze. It is administered via injection, transdermal patch, or as lozenges. The drug works by binding to the opioid receptors of the body.
As of late, fentanyl as subsys sprays became the subject of a lawsuit for off-label prescriptions of its manufacturer. According to the website of Williams Kherkher, such practices can have lethal side effects on a patient. In this article, we shall understand some facts about fentanyl.
Subsys is associated with life-threatening breathing problems and eventually death.
Avoid using Subsys if you are not opioid tolerant. If you are no longer taking opioid pain medicine for cancer, stop using Subsys. Chances are you may no longer be opioid tolerant. Your healthcare provider may have other alternatives for treating your pain.
You must not take more than 2 doses for every episode of breakthrough cancer pain. Wait for four hours before treating a new episode of breakthrough pain.
The amount of dose in Subsys may not be similar in other medicines that have fentanyl. The starting dose in Subsys may be different in others.
Subsys is a federally controlled substance because it is a potent opioid pain medicine that is subject to misuse and abuse. Make sure to keep the drug out of reach of other people specially those who use opioid medicine or street drugs. Aside from that, selling or giving away of the drug is a violation of the law.

Creating a More Prosperous Future for All: Schwarzman Scholars and Sustainability
Whether collaborating on business ventures or leading exciting initiatives on their own, Schwarzman Scholars are already making tackling today's pressing issues and making an impressive impact. At this year's COP-26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, the Schwarzman Scholars alumni community was well-represented. Read on to see what Scholars have been doing to build a more sustainable future.
Counting Carbon – Elliot David '20 and Max Song '17
Schwarzman Scholars aims to convene future leaders and build a robust community. Elliot and Max, in their collaboration, embody this mission. The two are working together at Carbonbase, a company which develops technologies to help enterprises and communities measure, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions. Recently, they partnered with COY16 (the UN Climate Change Conference of Youth). In their partnership, they calculated the carbon footprint of all youth delegates traveling from 140+ countries and neutralized those emissions to make COY16 the most sustainable international climate conference on record. The pair are also working to issue first-of-their-kind Impact NFTs for all the delegates as a proof of participation.
The pair's work is also being featured in the COP26 Arts and Culture section.
Representing the Next Generation – Ameer Ibrahim '21
Schwarzman Scholars are already taking on leadership roles in their communities. Because of his prior work in ESG and his financial literacy, Ameer was selected to serve as a UK Youth Delegate attending the COP26 conference this year. Ameer spoke at a panel which covered youth representation in climate and sustainability, and was able to connect with other leaders and gain exposure to activists, politicians, and former presidents.
Collaborating on Clean Energy – Tyler Rudolph '17 and Lakshmi Prakash '21
Tyler and Lakshmi recently joined Modern Energy Group – a clean energy company that invests in, builds and operates energy transition businesses to help the world reach a net-zero carbon economy. Both Tyler and Lakshmi are early hires on a team focused on scaling emerging renewable energy technologies across the globe. They are both excited about the opportunity to work with another Schwarzman Scholar at the intersection of clean energy, finance, and entrepreneurship.
Keeping an Eye on CRMs: Ross Jaggers '19
Ross, in his work at the Royal Society of Chemistry, worked with colleagues and stakeholders to determine how best to recycle and use the critical materials found in technologies such as batteries, electric vehicles, and wind power in a more circular fashion. His work, which seeks to influence the industry and research landscape around sustainability, culminated in a roundtable discussion that convened industry leaders, policymakers, and academics in a number of fields. Ross credits Schwarzman Scholars for equipping him with the necessary lens to approach these issues, and for highlighting sustainability as a career path. At Schwarzman Scholars, Ross studied the introductory economics, entrepreneurial innovation, and science policy necessary to make his project a reality. He thinks the Schwarzman Scholars network could be a huge resource in efforts to create a more sustainable future. In his next step, Ross is continuing his work in sustainability at Xynteo in London.
Sustainability and Health Care – Jordan Abdi '20
Last week, Jordan spoke alongside senior leaders in the healthcare industry on a panel at the COP26 conference. Together, they discussed the impact climate change has on our health, and how we can build 'resilient and sustainable health systems for the sake of our health and planet.'
Assessing Energy Performance – Toshin Sequeira '20
Toshin has been working with his team at Marsh McLennan to develop the World Energy Trilemma Index. This index assesses a country's ability to balance its energy systems across three core dimensions: security, equity, and sustainability. In doing so, it provides a comparative evaluation of 127 countries' energy performance since the year 2000.

Utah ranked ninth in immigration prosecutions during the first seven months of fiscal year 2018 with 125 cases filed in the U.S. District Court for Utah, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a Syracuse University that analyzes immigration prosecutions and other federal statistics. Most of those criminal cases involve so-called "illegal re-entry," a previously deported immigrant who is caught back in the country without legal authority.
The Beehive State has remained in the top 10 for at least the last five years, behind border states like Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, whose caseloads number into the thousands.
"We don't go after people who don't deserve it. We go after criminals," U.S. Attorney John Huber said in an interview.
Huber's office handled close to 300 immigration cases in 2017, and has averaged more than 250 a year over the last decade, according to federal court statistics.
Nationally, immigration prosecutions over the past year are up, but still much lower than they were five years ago.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has made immigration enforcement a cornerstone of the Trump administration's focus on violent crime. Linking immigration to crime has drawn criticism from Democrats and some academics who point to studies that show immigrants are no more prone to crime than born citizens.
The Department of Justice is hiring nearly three dozen new immigration prosecutors to bolster its efforts, with two going to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah.
In an April 2017 announcement, Sessions instructed the Justice Department to make criminal immigration enforcement a priority. Huber said the Department of Justice has directed U.S. attorneys to make immigration enforcement an even more concerted project and priority.


Obstetricians and gynecologists, commonly referred to as OB-GYNs, are medical doctors who specialize in the care of women.

If an urgent or complicated need arises, they'll work as a team to treat your specific condition, such as postmenopausal treatments or specialized surgery. Whatever issues you're facing, our physicians can help.
Our physicians deliver babies at Rapid City Regional Hospital and Spearfish Regional Hospital. During your hospital stay in our healing environment, you'll receive the same compassionate treatment you've come to expect from Regional Medical Clinic.


Students analyse written, visual and digital texts and respond by composing a range of texts, including a ballad, doggerel verse, list poem and broadsheet, for different purposes.
The Wonderful Large Wild Man is a broadside (a large sheet of paper printed on one side – see below for more information on broadsides) made up of two woodcuts. The left-hand image is of three buildings by the water, and is probably supposed to represent Botany Bay. The right hand image is of a monster guarded by two men with guns. It matches closely the description of the wild man given in the letterpress of the broadside, and was probably cut especially for the broadside.
The broadside describes the capture of the giant creature, by the crew of the Ship Rover, under Captain Lee. There is no evidence that a ship Rover visited Australia in 1789.
This surprising monstrous Giant was taken by a crew of English Sailors when they went on shore to furnish themselves with fresh water at Botany-Bay. To their surprise they beheld at a distance three of the most surprising tallest and biggest looking naked men that have been seen in the memory of this age, turning towards them, which much affrighted the sailors, caused them to make expedition on board the ship for the safety of their lives, leaving the casks of water and a quantity of good old rum which they had in a cag to refresh themselves and make merry, when the three savages got to the sea-side they started at the ship for a long time with wonder and admiration, one of them having got the cag of rum, he tasted, spit it out and shook his head, another did the same, but the third drank plentifully and began to jump about in a frightful wild manner, shouting and making a hideous noise, the other two Giants went off and left this one enjoying the cag of rum, who drank to such excess that he dropped on the ground and lay as if dead the sailors went on shore well armed and found this monstrous body motionless they bound him fast with ropes and with much fatigue got him on board the ship, where they secured him with iron chains, where he slept upwards of 24 hours before he was awake and was kept chained during the passage, he shewed not the least token of illness at sea, he came in the ship Rover, the capt. Lee to England from Botany-Bay, and landed at Plymouth, November 29, 1789.
Ladies and gentleman in great numbers honoured him with their company, and has been seen by thousands of people, and all acknowledge him to be the greatest curiosity ever seen in England by the oldest man living, he being such a monstrous overgrown size, and being the first ever brought from that country captain Lee determined to bring him to London: he is much tamer and not to savage in temper as might be expected. He is 9 feet 7 inches high, 4 feet 10 inches broad, a remarkable large heard, broad face, frightful eyes, a broad nose and thick lips like a black, very broad teeth, heavy eye-brows, hair stronger than a horse's mane, body and limbs covered with strong black hair, the nails of his fingers and toes may be properly called talons, crookt like a hawk's bill, and as hard as horn, in short he is viewed with admiration and astonishment on account of his huge size.
The average height of men entering the army in this period was about 1.65 metres so the Wild Man was supposedly about 1.3 metres taller than most men in Great Britain at the time!
New Holland: Australia was originally known as New Holland. From 1788 the term was used to describe the areas that had not yet been colonised. The colonised areas were known as New South Wales. Australia was not adopted as the official name until 1824.
The Wonderful Large Wild Man is printed as a broadside. It features two wood block illustrations that were probably designed especially for this publication.
A broadside is a large sheet of paper usually printed on one side only.
Historically, broadsides were posters that announced news, events or proclamations by the government. Other broadsides were simply advertisements. They were one of most common forms of printed documents created in Great Britain, Ireland and North America between the 1500s and the 1800s. Broadsides were also a common method of printing the lyrics of ballads and other popular songs.
Today broadsides are much less common and are often created by artists with the intention of them being framed as artworks to be hung on walls or collected. Poets often publish small collections of their writing as broadsides.
Broadsides are what many museums and libraries label as ephemera. Ephemera are documents designed for a specific purpose that are then intended to be thrown away. Contemporary examples of ephemera might include junk mail or posters advertising films or concert tours by bands that are pasted on walls or telegraph poles.
One place broadsides were commonly sold in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were at public executions. People attending an execution could buy a broadside that might be illustrated with a rough picture of the crime or a portrait of the unhappy criminal. Other broadsides featured a wood cut of the method of execution, such as hanging. They often included a gory account of the crime, the trial and perhaps of the criminal's confession of guilt.
A common feature of the broadsides sold at public executions was an example of doggerel verse or a roughly written poem. This poem usually warned the audience not to follow the unhappy criminal's example in case they then also risked being put to death.
The Wonderful Large Wild Man is a broadside that features a long narrative about the capture of the giant creature, by the crew of the Ship Rover, under Captain Lee. The text of the story is printed beneath two wood block pictures. The broadside claims the Rover landed at the port of Plymouth in England on 29 November 1789.
However there is no evidence that a ship called the Rover ever travelled to Australia so this may just be a sensational story that was designed to sell broadsides to people eager to hear strange and wonderful stories about the very recent colonisation of Australia by Europeans.
The Library has a large collection of broadsides that are proclamations from the early days of the colony of New South Wales.
The proclamations include orders from the Governor on the conditions of employment for assigned convicts who worked for free settlers. This included expectations of how the convicts should be paid, fed and clothed.
You can view some of these proclamations printed as broadsides here.
Students use the description of The Wonderful Large Wild Man found in the broadside to draw an annotated illustration of this character.
Students research ballads from Australian history and compose their own ballad about the capture and display of The Wonderful Large Wild Man.
Students write a three stanza poem about The Wonderful Large Wild Man that would be considered doggerel verse.
Students compose a list poem consisting of similies that describe The Wonderful Large Wild Man.


Ant and Dec's return to TV screens on Britain's Got Talent has become the biggest programme of 2019 so far, according to overnight figures - beating Line Of Duty.
The ITV1 talent show averaged 8.1 million viewers, peaking with 9.7 million on Saturday night.
The return of Line Of Duty took the top spot last Sunday with an average of 7.8 million viewers, and a peak of eight million on BBC One.
Britain's Got Talent featured the return to TV screens of the much-loved TV presenting duo after Ant took a break following his drink-driving conviction last year.
Ant McPartlin became overwhelmed as he and his co-host embraced in an emotional reunion .
It came during a performance by a group of schoolchildren on the TV show.
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams also returned to judge the variety acts.
Last year, Dec hosted the live Britain's Got Talent shows solo.
He later fronted I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! with Holly Willoughby instead of Ant.
ITV also said that the final of its singing competition The Voice, won by teenager Molly Hocking, was watched by 4.6 million viewers, peaking with 5.2 million.
The figures represent overnight rather than consolidated numbers - programmes recorded and watched up to seven days later.

New York: A Man Set Fire to Towering Christmas Tree in Front of Fox News | "A malicious attack"
HELEN HERNANDEZDecember 9, 2021
Craig Tamanaha, 49 years old, he was arrested this Wednesday in New York ataccused of setting fire to an imposing Christmas tree, 15 meters high, located at the entrance of the offices from Fox News in Manhattan.
A spokesman for the New York City Police Department told NBC News that the officers had arrested Tamanaha. Tamanaha, who lives on the streets, now faces a series of charges including arson, burglary and property crime. At the moment, it was not known if he had a lawyer.
According to the authorities' report, on Tuesday night, around 12:15, Fox News security members saw a man climbing the Christmas tree outside the News Corp. building, headquarters of the American news media Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, located on Sixth Avenue, between 47th and 48th streets, in Midtown Manhattan.

Minutes later, the decorated tree it was engulfed in flames. The fire was quickly extinguished by firefighters who responded to the incident and no injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, after attending the emergency call, NYPD officers spotted a man fleeing the scene and detained him. The suspect reportedly had a lighter, but it was unclear if he used any fuel.
The remaining footage of the incident showed that the fire charred most of the Christmas tree, which was adorned with red, white and blue motifs and crowned with a red star. The flames also damaged three other nearby trees decorated with Christmas lights.
After the incident, the executive director of Fox News Media, Suzanne Scott, issued a statement in which she assured that the "Christmas tree, totally American (because of the colors used for the decoration), caught fire in a malicious attack."
He also assured that Fox News -the media that supported Donald Trump during his presidency- "would not let this deliberate and blatant act of cowardice dissuade us," adding that "work was underway to rebuild and install a new tree, as a message that there can be peace, light and joy even during a dark time like this.

The Deal Whisperers: Do You Have a Commitment Problem?
Do You Have a Commitment Problem?
Did you ever have a negotiation that couldn't seem to find its legs?
You meet with the other party several times and their requests always seem to be a variation of the ones from the last meeting. It's as though their strategy is to keep asking for the same thing over and over in the hopes that you will grow weary and just say "yes". Or they probe and prod, seeking more information and variations of your proposal without providing any sense if they will ever do a deal.
Sounds like you have a commitment problem.
Sometimes the other party with whom you are negotiating sends in a team with limited authority. That team is unable to commit to anything except your acceptance of their initial terms; or the individual with whom you are speaking does not actually have the ability to pursue a deal, just to talk about the possibility of a deal. You may offer multiple ways of trying to achieve their goals, but nothing will happen because they lack the power to commit to anything that's beyond their authority. You are left with three basic options: shape it, raise it or leave it.
By "shape it" we mean to discuss with the other party what they can say "yes" to and collaborate on legitimate changes to your proposal to shape a "yes-able" solution. This is in contrast to what less experienced negotiators will do by openly challenging the other party's authority and demanding a decision-maker be brought into the room. By trying to collaborate, even if it does not produce an agreement, you will have demonstrated respect for the other party's authority and role in the process. Chances are the other side will, on its own, engage its more senior management, recognizing there is value to be had and a need for greater authority.
If you hit a dead end trying to shape it, then you will have to "raise it". Map out the parties on the other side of the table and determine who in the organization has a vested interest in the outcome of this deal. Is there a way to raise the issue with them and make them aware of the value of the proposals you have made which keep getting rejected?
If you are negotiating with someone who cannot make a commitment, the solution is often as simple as going to the person who does have such authority and asking for help in trying to close the issues. Exercise caution here, though, as you risk stepping on the other party's authority by going to the next level of management. One suggestion is to discuss this with the other party in advance as something your management is going to trigger. "Peter, we feel strongly that there is a great deal for both of us here and my management is going to ask me why we could not reach agreement. I know my boss is going to call your boss and ask for advice on how we can get something done." The key is to frame it not as a threat, but as a logical statement of what the parties should expect will happen next.
"Leave it" means stop wasting your time on this engagement and find a company to work with that will appreciate what you are offering. While it is often hard to walk away from a deal, sometimes that is the best decision. Remember, a successful negotiation is not defined by whether you sign a deal. It's determined by whether or not you make a good decision. At some point you have to decide whether your commitment to a potentially negative deal is better than no deal at all.
Don't Give Away Your Necktie!

Mayor Campbell opened the public hearing at 7:09 p.m.
Mr. Jack Carwile of Adams Ferry Road spoke to council with concerns about the budget. Mr. Carwile indicated he was concerned about the insurance the town is offering. Mr. Carwile went on to say he had discovered that the town has one employee that the town is paying all of the medical insurance for him and his family. Mr. Carwile asked if the town had any other employees that they did this for. Mayor Campbell responded, "No Sir". Mr. Carwile went on to ask the council why they were paying the insurance for this one employee. Mayor Campbell responded by saying that this was a council decision made three or four years ago in reference to the change in position. The employee was taking on a lot greater role than what he had been on. Mr. Carwile asked if the employee received a raise in salary to which the Mayor responded, "No sir." Mr. Carwile went on to comment that he had been at a prior meeting of council where it was brought up that the salaries that the employees were making were so low and the moral was low. Mr. Carwile questioned council's intent saying, "If you are paying one employees insurance for his whole family and you're not paying the rest of them what kind of moral is that for them?" Mr. Carwile further stated that he did not blame the employee but blamed the council as he felt they were the ones responsible.
Mr. Carwile noted that the insurance increase this year was approximately a 19% increase plus the employees were receiving 3% increase in salary. Mr. Carwile commended the town on their effort to pick up the increase and not pass it on to the employees.
Mr. Carwile also brought up the issue of overtime asking council if there was some way the town could cut out some of the overtime. Mayor Campbell responded that Mr. Gillespie, the Town Manager, had been working on this issue since arriving at the town and would continue to work on this issue.
With no one else from the public wishing to speak, Mayor Campbell closed the public hearing at 7:14 p.m.

Also mentioned were the availability of loan discounts and mortgage incentives.
The council referred this item to the Finance and Planning Committee for further study.
Ms. Shirley Wilson, of Terry Road in Brookneal, addressed council with concerns about the various articles in the paper recently that seemed to contradict themselves. Ms. Wilson stated that it seemed that one week she reads that the water bills are going up and the next week she reads that the water bills are not going up.
Mayor Campbell informed Ms. Wilson that the council had not made a decision yet and were still studying all of the facts to determine what, if any, increases will need to be made in the water rates for the Town of Brookneal.
Mayor Campbell went on to let Ms. Wilson know that the Town Council had two public meetings at the community building to try to let the citizens know what was going on with the water rates but only two people had shown up.
Ms. Wilson also expressed concerns stating that she had read in the paper that the meals tax was the only support the town had. She went on to comment that this was very sad that four or five businesses were supporting the town.
Mayor Campbell expressed her appreciation to those businesses for their support noting that the council did not like to tax anyone.
Mr. Jack Carwile of Adams Ferry Road questioned council about the rent for town owned buildings asking council if the town would be receiving any rent for these buildings in the upcoming fiscal year.
Mr. Gillespie responded to Mr. Carwile's question stating that when the buildings were occupied the town did receive rent. However, the buildings were not currently occupied and therefore no rent had been budgeted for the upcoming year.
Mr. Carwile asked about the clean up of unsightly properties in the town. Town Manager, Bill Gillespie, responded noting that the council had developed a strategy as far as blighted properties were concerned. The Physical Development Committee would be developing an inventory of all of the blighted properties in the town and addressing these matters.
Mr. Josh Pritt, Filter Plant Operator for the Town of Brookneal, requested that council consider increasing the amount that is allowed for educational reimbursement in the current town personnel manual.
Mr. Gillespie informed Mr. Pritt that the council was currently working on updating the entire personnel manual and would be addressing this matter during that process.
Upon motion from Meg Tibbs, seconded by Tracy Meisenbach and unanimously carried, council appointed Public Works Director Mike Crews to the Housing Board for the Mattox/Claytor Street neighborhood revitalization project.
Ms. Carolyn Younger, director of the Central Virginia Area Agency on Aging Center, appeared before council in order to update them on the centers activities. Ms. Younger expressed her deep appreciation to Brookneal for allowing the center to exist in the town. Ms. Younger went on to request of council that if they have any questions or concerns about the center in the future would they address her personally so that she can resolve any issue in a prompt manner. Ms. Younger concluded by noting that she loved her job and the people that she met in the course of her job.
Council discussed several dates for the Day in the Town. Being unable to decide on a date at that time, council tabled the issue until the June meeting.
The Town Manager and the Clerk/Treasurer presented council with information regarding the pros and cons of following Campbell County's lead and discontinuing the sale of decals for personal vehicles during the next year. Council also received information on utilizing the DMV Stop program to enable the town to collect on outstanding debts.
After a lengthy discussion, council opted to table this matter until the June, 2005 council meeting.
Upon motion from James Nowlin, seconded by Richard Adams and unanimously carried, Council went into closed session under VA Code Section 2.2-3711 (A)(1) for the purpose of discussing the performance of the Town Manager.
Mayor Campbell announced that the May 10, 2005 Council meeting was adjourned.
