The new dwelling units there. And it would maintain the same decision on denying the variance for the open space and exposure. So if you chose not to grant the appeal, the project would be approved with the rear yard variance but not the variance for the basement unit. Okay, and i want to say one thing to the variance requester. I think that part of what you asked why this didnt meet code. And my understanding is the dimensions of the rear yard dont meet the requirements for the rear yard to provide light and air, which have even been reduced from previous dimensions. And then your proposals where you have this slant going like this is actually the opposite. So its a triangle that would go like this. So you have to maintain that space and increase that space as you go up. And so you certainly would not be able to meet that space on those alternative proposals either. So, commissioners, im prepared to support the Zoning Administrators findings. So thats where i am. So to the builder, i

Something i know its something we didnt see as an ideal tool in our institutional context. And i think, you know, different Central Banks around the world did Different Things and we can observe how those things work, but i dont think we regard that as a firstorder tool or something we would be likely to use. There are other things that we need to look at. And i would say yield curve control, sort of shortterm yield curve control is something thats worth looking at. Not at all something that we havent looked at it, but it will be something that we look at when the time comes and the last thing ill say is, you know, i think our tool kit, well use it aggressively to the extent we need to. Yeah. To achieve our mandate. So one of the questions i got from someone today, who knew i was going to be asking you questions, was, is there an unintended consequence of in a reasonable growth, low employment near the target rate inflation rate, is there an unintended consequence of easing into that e
Host into its first human but them. Viruses can only live in cellular creatures, can only replicate in animals, plants or some other kind of cellular creature. When a new virus appears in humans, it had to come from some other living creature, almost certainly an animal, probably a mammal or bird. When the virus passes from the nonhuman animal into its first human, that is the moment of spillover. Host hardly common . Are they common . Guest more common than we recognize. We have been recognizing more and more as they occur. Whenever there is a new virus it has to come from somewhere and there has been a drumbeat of these cases, spillovers of new viruses into humans, since the early 1960s. Possibly because there are more humans on the planet coming into contact with more animals and also because we are able to detect them more, we are studying them closely. Host can you tell us what is on the cover of the book . Guest there is a primate, i think it is a baboon, unleashing a terrifying
